J 1 YhCJUOM OF VHE ttbVObU TJOJf. In the early part of the Revolu •• armed men, undertook a jtturiiej’ through the wilderness, in the slate of N w Hampshire.—Their route was remote from any settlements, and they were under tli* necessity f en camping over night, in the woods. In ! h<* early part of the struggle for Independence, the Indians were nu mer‘oiiß, arid did not stand idle spec tator.s to a conflict carried on with so mil’ ll zeal and ardour hy the whites. S* ne tribes were friendly to our cause, while many on our bord rs took part with the enemy, and were troublesome to their kind of savage warfare, as our people often learnt from the wofni experience of their midnight and predations. The leader of the above mentioned party was Well acquainted with the different tribes; and, from much intercourse with them previous to the war, was Hot ign irant of the idiom, physiogo my, and dress of each, and at the commencement of hostilities, was in f.rul'd for which party they had raised the baitle-axe. Nothing material had happened during the firs! day <>f ibis excursion; 1 but e..rly in the afternoon of the se cond tli y discovered from an emi Hence, a body of Indians advancing towards tin ui, whose tiumbers ex ceeded their own. As soon as the Americans were perceived by their red hretfiereii, the Utter triad • friend ly signals, and the parties approach ed each other in an ami. aide man lier. The Indians appeared to be much pleased at meeting the ser geant and his men, whom they observ ed they considered hs their protec tors; said they belonged to a tribe wh took the hatchet in the cause of their country and were determined to j d f * all in their power t* injure the! common enemy. They shook hands 1 in friendship, and it wna, Rnw d’ye (1 > pro! how d’yepro/’ tout netug <n >■ ! pronunciation of- the word brother. Worn they h (I conversed with each oth* r some time and rx< hanged mu tual wishes., they at length separated and i* v*U and different directions. After proceeding to the distance of one or more miles, the sergeant halted his men, a**d addressed them in the f II wing words: •My brave companions, we must use the utmost caution, or this night j may to* our lasi. Should we not m ke some extraordinary exertions, I to morrow's sun will find us sleeping j t.. nn. I to. Y.ii tiro surprised Comrades, at my words; ami your! anxiety will not he lessened when I inform y u we have just passed our inveterate enemy, who under the Dt sk of friendship you have witness ed. would lull us into security, and by such means, in the unguarded mo ments of our midnight slumber; with out any resistance, seal our fate.* The men with astonishment listen ed to this short harangue, and their surprise was greater as not one ol thrin entertained the least suspicion but that they had just encountered friends. They all immediately re solved to enter into some scheme fur their mutual safety, and *he destruc tion of their enemies. By the propo sition of their leader; the following plan was adopted and executed. The spot < for the night's en cainpment, w -s near a stream of was ter which cov red their rear. They ft lied a large oak before which on the approach f night, a brilliant fire was lighted —Each individual cut a |t,g of wood about the size of his bo dy rolled it nice ly up in his blanket placed his hat on the extremity and laid it before the fire that the enemy might fee deceived and mistake it for a man. After the number equal to tl.< party, were fitted out, fted so artfully arranged as to appear like so many men, the soldiers, with In ded muskets placed themselves be hind the fallen tree, bv which time the shades of evening began to dose around. The fire was supplied with! fuel, and kept burning brilliantly till late at night; when it was suffered to decline. The critical tune was now .Duroacntng wrini an attack might tie expected from the Indians; but the sergeant's inen rested in their places of com raiment with great anxiety till near midnight, nut perceiving any movement of the foe, At icangth a tall Indian was dis* covered thro’ the glimnering of the fire, (which was now totting low,) cautiously moved to wan it them, mak 1* gno noise, and appalpntly using every means in his power 1 to conceal himself from any one abou\ the camp. For a time his actions sboVed him to be suspicious that a guard might be stationed to watch any uikisual ap pearauce and give,the alarik in case of danger; hut ail appearingquiot, lie ventured forward more boldly; rested upon his toes, and was distinctly seen to move ins fingers as he numbered each log of wood, or wh&t i© < onsid ered a human being quietly enjoying repose.— To satisfy iumse/f as to the number, he counted them over a sc com! turn and cautiously retired, lie was succeeded by anot/ier Indian, I who went through ti,e same move ! merits, and retired in the sauie man ! ner. Soon after the whole party six teen hi number, were discovered cautiously advancing and greedily eyeing ilieir supp .sed victims. The feelings of the sergeant's men can by better imagined than described, when they saw the base and cruel purposes of their enemy; who were so n ar that tiiey could scarcely be restrained from firing on them. The plan, however, of the sergeant was to have lii* men remain silent in their places of con cealment till the muskets of the sava ges were discharged, that their tire might he more eifei lual.aml opposi tiou less formidable. T i°ir suspense was not of long du ration.—The Indians hi a body cau tiously advanced, till within a short diHiauri; they then took aim, dis etiaigeit Hi- it* pieces upon inanimate logs, gave the mi nd war-wtioop, and instantly rushed forward with toma hawks and s< alping knives to des patch tne living and übiam the scalps ot fiio dead. Ass *oii as they lud c dlected in close order, the party of the sergeant with unerring aim dis j charged their pieces, not on fgs of wood, but o Uie pc ti .tons savages, n t on© of whom escaped Ue.-.tru< lion i by the sn re into w hit ii their coward j I (lisp. sit in had led them. fii'uL D O V V 5 OF American Scenery.
