FRONTIER ' The eigth number of the Illinois Maga zine contains an article entitled “Reminiscen ces of the Scioto Vulleit,” in which the fol lowing anecdote is related. When Virginia ceded the territory northwest of the Ohio to 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. Hurd Romes —A corresponded of a Virginia paper calls Gen.
