In a climate like ours, where the enervating in

the United States, the valuable tract lying
between the Great Scioto and the Little Mi
ami was reserved for tire purpose of remune
rati g the officers and soldiers of the Virginia
hue, for their services during the revolution.
In 1783, a committee, at the head of which
was tho late Gen. Neviuk, was appointed to
examine the tract of land, and report the re
sult. They embarked at Fort Pitt, in a Ken
tucky boat, with a few riflemen, who were
to serve in the double capacity of a guard for
defence against the Indians, and of hunters
to pracure subsistence for the party j during
their long and perilous expedition.
“The travellers continued their explora
tions until they came in sight of the Missis
sippi when they returned to the falls of the
Ohio. Alter spending a few days here, they
crossed the river, and entered the great wil
derness nortil-vvcst of the Ohio, on their way
to examine the Virginia Military District.—
On arriting on the Scioto, near the Obillico
thi old town, their horses were stolen by a
tribe cf Slmwnees; whilst negotiating for
their restoration, and holding a talk with the
nation, as the representatives from Congress,
deputed tor that purpose, a marauding party
returned from an expedition against the back
settlements of Virginia. They displayed
several scalps, ns trophies of their success;
and among their opima spolia, was an inter/
rating country girl, about 18 years of age.—
Her grief was overwhelming, and when she
found some of her countrymen in the camp of
the savages, she threw herself on her knees
to them, and begged them to rescue her from
her wretched situation. Every exertion
was made to procure her release; the party
produced all the money they had, p.mounting
to several hundred dollars, and ofiei and it as
her ransom ; they made large promises and
threats on the part of the Slates; but all in
vain. Captain Snip who commanded the
Indian marauding party, claimed the poor
girl as his prize, rtntl refused any compro
mise. After much dbenoim unt ntterca*
tion, however, the chief made a proposition;
Col. N. had a favorite servant a large and
fine looking mullatto man. The Indians
have a peculiar fondness for slaves; Snip a
greed to give up the captive girl for Patrick.
Here was a dilemma; Col. N. was a most
humane and benevolent man; he would have
made any secrifice to have regained the un
happy maid; but he valued hi slave as a fel
low creature, and loved him as a brother.—
He would use no force—Patrick hated the
In * ans as cordially as did Major Pasqui, and
he heard the proposition with indescribable
horror. His master look him aside and ad
vised him to take the place of the girl, offer
ing him his freedom, and the money which
had been collected for the ransom; assuring
him at the same time, that in a few weeks he
would certainly find an opportunity of escap
ing. It was all in vain; the po-session of
the world would not have induced Patrick to
change masters. Finding every attempt
fruitless, and not having sufficient numbers
to attempt force, the trav ellers were obliged
to abandon the idea of liberating the cap
tive, and leave the unfortunate maid to her
fate. They resumed their journey, and aftSi
much suffering and hair-brr>rilh escapes from
tho scouting parties of different tribes, they
arrived at Fort Pitt.
Thirteen years afterwards, the treaty of
Greenville was held the Indians, by
Gen. Wayne. On this occasion the prison
ers who had 1 been taken during the previous
inroads of the savages, were brought in to
be given up. Major Kirkpatrick was then
present, as chief of the commissary depart
ment. Among the he recognized
the girl whom he had left on the Scioto, in
1782. She was the wife of her captor, Capt.
Snip, and the mother of five little savages, the
eldest of whom appeared in thejerotrd, armed
with his bow and arrows. She was perfectly
reconciled to her fate, and refused to quit
her husband, to return to civilized society
and her friends.
