THE INDIAN SCOUT.
Titc devotion of our forefathers to tiie interests
of their country, their severe privations', their
enduring constancy to titc immortal cause, their
patience under trials, sometimes startling, some
limes long and arduous, is well known to a pos
terity grateful for all they suffered, all the pangs:
and hardships they endured.
The cool interpidily, the daring tact in milita
ry warfare, the calm in lifferenee, (the result of
conscious superiority,) with which they under
took any enterprize, no matter how hazardous if
might be, must command •he admiration of all
future ages. It would seem as if the genius of
calm resolution presided over all their actions, j i
The incid-nls which we arc about to relate, (
arc matters connected with the early history of i
our country, and will serve to evince how much i
wc are indebted to that “brave band, in how
ever subordinate a situation they might be, sot i
the possession of the liberty we now enjoy.
L, ird Chatham, in one of his indignant/noo.'s i
in the House of Lords, pronounced, perhaps, the
most tremendous and well deserved phillipic ■
agasnst Mr. Walpole, that ever was heard in any
public b »dy upon any occasion.
Mr. Walpole, it seems had risen in his place,
and justified the employment of Indians in the
war against the c donisls, “for it is perfectly
justifiable,” said Mr. Walpole, “to use all the
m ans to subdue them that God and nature have
placed in our hands!”
As though a thunderbolt iiad fallen at his
'feet, Lord Chatham sat for a moment, at the
astounding annunciation. “I am astonished,
shocked,” said lie, “to hear such sentiments and
such principles avowed in this house! IV hat? to
send forth the merciless Indian to ravage, kill,
murder, and plunder at his will, and against
whom have you sent them? against your pro
testant brethren in America! men of your own
H ,‘sh and blood, and the descendants of our
common forefathers. Spain can no longer
boast a prc-emincncc in barbarity! She let loose
her bloo lliounds against the defenceless people
of New Spain, but we, more ruthless than they,
let loose the wild, untutored savage thirsting tor
blood, upon our protest ant. brethren in America!”
“.Sir,” said he, addressing the president, “I
couhjL,not have slept this night upon my pillow,
without giving my protest against such aiihor
i e.it, enormous, an I preposterous principles.”
The indignation of the noble Lord was well i
justified as the sequel will show.
It is well known that the Indians were cm
ployed to li r-iit against the colonists and that ;
the, - pursued a most desolating, and indiscrimin- .
ale warfare. The cunning of the savage was ,
tainted with the hatred they bore to those whom ,
they considered as intruders on their soil.
Tie events which wc are about, to record, are i
matters of history, although not generally known
to ihe public mind, yet they nevertheless seem i
10 evince t! 10 stern devotion, the cool determina
tion, an 1 the admirable skill with which some
of the acts of that li no were aclu ved. It would
be evident, however, that nothing but the most
exalted patriotism, lire most calm determination
to sacrifice himself to his country’s cause coulu
have m iuced a man to peril ins life in the man
ner that the one whom wc are about to mention
venture i his life.
lo penetrating through the country towards
the Northern part of this State, it became very
necessary for the colonists lo have a constant
vigilance upon the Indians who were every
night prowling about, and, as will be seen in the
sequel, with but too fatal an effect. 'I he army
stationed uno i (wha. was then called) the
northern lines,were ever held in constant requi
sition, in consequence of the activity of their
savage foe. and the restless nightly vindictive
ness with which they pursued their predatory
warfare.
Arrived at a certain point where they thought
they could encamp with security, they pitched *
their teats, partook of their frugal meal, the tat.
too heat, aad all except the sentinels, the guard
and the officers retired to rest.
All the camp except those on duty, were in
silent repose, and nought was heard but the oc
casional challange of the sentinel to the relief,
or the officer of the night, “who comes there?”
The army seemed hushed in repose, when sud
deuly the crack of a rifle alarmed the whole
camp. The alarm spread to the- tent officers, ,
and the guard was oidcrod out to ascertain from i
whence the fire proceeded.
They approached tlie spot from whence the
jihot secured to have been fired, and there!—fatal
certainty!—they found the dead body of the de
ceased sentinel.
It seems that his post was situated along the
ed'gs of a piece of wood, and that there was an
opening about half the distance of his beat. In
passing this opening he had been shot by the
rifle of (as it will hereafter appear) an Indian
chief. Another sentinel was placed upon the
post, an 1 nothing further transpired that nighty
although the sentinel on duty had strange mis- \
givings as to the mysterious shot that had laid
fiis comrade low!
The next night the same post, was manned by
a brave soldier, and just before the relief (.which
came every two hours) appeared, another crack
of a rifle was heard in the same direction, anil
upon repairing to the spot, lo!—another sentinel }
had fallen. j
The soldier raised the dead body of the second
victim of Indian artifice, and one of them j
was heard lo mutter in a low tone, “I’ll revenge ■
the death of my two comrades on that savage, |
if there’s cunning in a yankee.”
The honors of war were dispensed to the two
soldiers, but the feeling oi revenge had not leti
the brsast of the soldier who had Just made the
above menace! Still Jus modesty determined
him from making any application to the com
manding officer to obtain leave lo put his threat
into execution, and another sentinel was put up
on post at the fatal opening of the woods. Ail
was still at twelve o’clock —the sentinel pared,
to and fro, cheerfully, and in confidence ot the
ultimate success of their country’s cause, when—
crack! went another nfle from out the fata! ope
ning in the wood.
Rifle after rifle now spread the report, and a
double guard, upon repairing to the spot, found
another of their comrades dead upon the field.
He, too, was buried in sorrow, and in silence,
for the whole camp was full of sorrow 7 , and it
would seem of indignation, too, that no soldier
was to tie found who could escape the uneering
rifle of the Indian.
Early, however, the next morning, a soldier
presented himself to a Bergent at the door of the
marque of the commandant, who desired to
—a—a——M
speak with him.—The sergeant reported this ex
traordinary visitant, and he was admitted into
the marque. Having saluted his commanding
officer (which salute was of course returned,) he
was requested to state his business there so ear.
ly in the morning.
“You will excuse me, sir,” said the modest
soldier, “but I have understood that you, can’t
get a man w T ho will venture to stand or walk, as
a sentinel, on the riecc of ground at the opening
of the wood.
“It is too true my friend, I cannot get a man in
the corps who will go there after so many of their
comrades hav« fallen Ly the rifle of that infernal
Indian.”
“Will you let me have my own way,and I will
go?”
“How do you mean? have your own way?”
“I want a suit of grey, sir.”
“Grey?—let me see—l have one —you shall
have it—what next?”
“I want my rifle browned, so that the moon
won’t shine upon it, and show ray motions, for
them sarpeuts are the devil in the night?”
“Granted; you shall have both these requests
granted—what next?”
“Why, I must be allowed to whistle or sing
upon my post, as I please.”
“The devil!—that’s contrary to all the rules
of military discipline!”
“Very true, but wbat rules of military disci
pline will you apply to such a varmint as that,
who night after night picks off some of your
bravest and best soldiers, and some of my best
beloved companions in arms. I’ll tell you what
captain, I have conic here to offer myself a sac
rifice upon the altar of my country—if you take
the sacrifice take it.”
“I accept your generous offer—and now do as
you please, and command anything you want
in the camp to complete your disguise—but bow
long do you mean to stand?”
“Till I kill him.”
“Well, he genera'ly prowls about, and has
shot ourmen between ten and two.
“At ten, then I will take my post, but let no
relief offer to come anywhere near my post, until
day dawns or it will break up all my plans.”
“Very well act your pleasure, only, if you are
shot, don’t blame me.”
“N -t a bit of fear of that, sir, if you only let
me whistle and sing on my post.”
“Do any thing you like —I’ll trust you, and if
you kill him, I’ll make a lieutenant of 3 7 ou.”
The sentinel made his salute and departed, to
make his arrangements for the coming encoun
ter, which he was convinced without the exer
cise of much cunning, might he a fearful one,
and awaited the hour of tattoo with an air of
conscious superiority even over Indian cunning.
Duriuglhe hour between tattoo and ten he was
busily engaged in browning bis rifle, and in pro
curing the grey dress or uniform, which his cap.
tain had promised him.
The object, as the reader, of course, will per
ceive of browning his rifle, and assuming the
grey uniform, was, tiiat his position might not
so readily be perceived by the Indian.
At ten o’clock, be took bis post —be walked
on, quietly, backward and forward, past the fa
tal opening in the wood, (for his heal Jay directly
past il) until near half past eleven.
He then began to hum a tune, and then to
whistle as careless of any danger (or uncon
scious of il) around him. Continuing on in this
manner, until within about five minutes of
twelve, when lo! as he passed the opening in
the wood, wliisilihg as he walked, he thought he
discovered in the moonlight, the ornament of an
Indian chief! He had shown his own sagacity
in divesting himself of any that would be a mark!
Passing on as il’ he had not seen any thing re
markable, he marched rapidly (whistling all
tiie while) past the opening, when suddenly tur
ning, he dodged behind a tree! His grey dress
and browned rifle, prevented the savage from
discovering where he was; but hearing no more
of his singing nr whistling, he naturally conclu
ded he must be lurking about in the bushes.
Our hero kept his eye, guided by the light of
the moon, upon the spot whence the other shots
had proceeded, kneeling on one knee, with his
rifle in his hand.
Presently he saw the tall form of the sax-age
peer above the branches in tiie opening, gazing
around for what ho imagined to be another vic
tim to his arms.
The weary sentinel, res! ing upon one knee,
cocked his rifle! The click of : lie rifle-cock cau
sed the savage lo turn his hea l for he heard it
in the direction whence it proceeded. The sen
tinel fired, and the crack of his rifle was answer
ed by all the camp, but he quietly resumed his
post.
The guard was turned out, the drums beat to
arms, and presently along came a detachment
of soldiers, lo the post of the [supposed] devoted
sentinel. There he stood, an 1 saw them come
(he had now reloaded his rifle) “Who comes
there?”
“Officer of the day and file of men.”
- “Advance your sergeant, and give the coun
tersign.”
The sergeant advanced, and having given flic
requisite signal, the officer of the day began to*,
-'question the sentinel.
“Who fired the first shot on any of these posts,
sir?”
•T fired, sir.”
“What for sir?—At an enemy.”
“Yes, sir, and a good one. too.”
“What—the Indian chief?”
“Just so, sir.”
“Have you killed him?”
“Let your men go and see if you please? I
cannot leave my post. But I don’t think I put
on in v grey dress and browned my rifle for noth
ing.”
“Good soldier,” sai l the officer, as ho and his
men passed on t hrough the opening in the wood,
and fronting to a thick mass of bushes, in the
midst of them, tu y discovered the tall form of
the chieftain; who had been the means of the
death of so many of the gallant sentinel’s com.
rades. lie lay upon his face; and the rifle hall
of the marksman had penetrated between the
eyes!
’ Tiie next day saw the humble private a lieu
tenant.

PRESENTIMENTS OF DEATH.
There is an article in the December number of
the United Service Journal, entitled “Recollec
tions of the British Army,” to which the follow
ing is added byway of a note, showing how sin
gularly, in some instances, presentiments of
death or accidents have- been verified.
Inthc year 183a, the regiment 1 belonged to
(the 71st) formed part of the expedition for ih.i
reduction of the Cape of Good Hope. We lan
ded there in January, ISUG. The day on which
we landed, Captain - iih-wegimcnt,
Sriso an desi-
that 1 tiie
different officers of my with all of
whom he was well acquainted, an t wc were very
intimate friends. Wc went round together, ami
wc bid good-bye to all the officers, probably,
though 1 did not remark at the time, (that I re
member) with morethau iiis usual solemn man
ner. When xve got back to my post —“Now
], said he, “my hardest task is to take
leave of you.” I replied, “We shall beat the
Mynheers to-morrow, an 1 then we will have- a
jolly day in Cape Town.”—“ No,’’said he, “ I
"shall die to-morrow.’’ On the next morning, al
most as soon as the action commenced, I heard
he wasshot through the neck by a burgher, and
killed on the spot.
Shortly after the 71st was ordered to Buenos
Ayres, aiid the ship that I was on board of, a
transport, having rolled away her masts, was
separated from the fleet. While we were ma
king the best of our way lo South America, some
of my brother officers were lamenting our silua
tion, and regretting that we.shou Idbtooe late to
share in the conquest. I replied, “A on need be
under no apprehension, you will be time enough,
for I shall lose my leg there.”—l said this,-fully
assured in my own min i that it would be so ; but
if you ask me from whence that assurance arose,
lam unable to ausw -r. Some days afterwards,
the surgeon said his instruments had contracted
a little rust, and asked who could best put them
in order. To which I replied—as they would
first be used upon me, I was the best person to
get it done, and gave them to a man of my com
pany to do. Tire assistant surgeon was a friend
of mine, and I prevailed ou him lo leach me
how to apply the toruiquei to my leg. I select
ed one with great care, and by its application
(humanly speaking) I saved my life—without it
I should have bled to death. We landed next
evening at Pointa de Quillincs, under the village
ol Reduction.—M v 7 brother officers appointed
me prize agent, when I begged another officer
might be nominated, as I was assured 1 should
not be able to act.
The next morning, when the drums beat to
arms, I saw the surgeon, ran to him and said,
“ Look out for me —I shall be the first that falls.”
The third shot the enemy fired from the first
gun they opened, struck me ou the calf of the
leg, ami nearly took it off; as I lay ou the
ground I successfully applied the tormquet. I
had been speaking to Colonel P., as we were ad
vancing, who was just about to order my com
pany to the front, as sharp shooters, when the
first shot was tired—the second tdbk away the.
musket of the man on my right, (i. e.) the left
hand man on my right, passing between his head
and mine—the third struck me. I saw it co n
ing all the way from the gun, a Spanish six
pounder, about six or seven hundred yards dis
tant, but I think not so much. So accurately
did I sec it! that tny covering sergeant called
out “ Stoop.” I said, “ Stand up, il. is coming
low.” T asked myself, when on the ground,
why I did not attempt, by stepping right or left,
to avoid it; but I could never give any reason.
I state these things to show it was not a Iran,
sient thought I uttered at random, hut it took
root in my mind, and governed my conduct.
The day that I quitted Buenos Ayres (11th Au
gust) as I was going oat of the fort on crutches
to embark, Captain K., Royal Engineers, over
took me, and said—“ L., you remember telling
me you shoul I lose your leg—now, observe, I
have not half an hour to live; take my writing
desk with you—it contains such and such things:
if ever you reach England you will sec my fa
ther : tell him so and so, &.c. &,r.’ I had to hob
ble half round the fort to embark, and before I
got on the banks of the river, in about, I suppose,
twenty minutes, they called to me over the ram.
parts, “ K. is just killed.”
A Printing Office, on Publication Day. —To
see a Printing O/fico in all its glory, the unini
tiated ought to visit a newspaper office on the
day of publication, although they may assure
themselves of a frosty reception at such a time.
There is a breathless excitement in the scene.
Not a sound is heard, save at times, the slipshod
step of a compositor creeping across the Hoof to
the foreman’s desk for more copy, or the contin
ual click clicking of the types as they tall into
their places in the composing stick. The cbm.
positors are stationed at their cases, noiseless
and busy as Wordsworth’s cattle in a meadow—
there arc “forty setting like one.” Mark the
diversity of figure and expression, and, believe
me, there is a.- great a divesity of talent among
them. That thin stooping figure with .sharp
face, high nose, and dark motionless eyes, has a
genius for setting advertisements. Ho is the
uncontrolled master of lhat department. That
fine-looking fellow with an oval border of black
whiskers round his faec, and corresponding curve
of his leg, the wit, orator, and gay- Lothario of
the establishment, lias a taste which the lore
man himself does not disdain occasionally to
call to counsel. Tiie greasy looking individual
with a bald head, if you keep whiskey from him,
and him from whiskey, (no easy task, by the by.)
will set you a whole column of “close diV,”
without one typographical error. Many Sir!
of a ivlon lay morning Ids type take strange va
garies. Tile-demure gentleman, with his nose
stuck in his composing stick, has a genius for
“scheme work,” which technical phrase desig
nates what the vulgar call tales, file. The pa
per is up—one by one flic compositors have de
sisted for want of copy. They are now busied,
under the superintendence of the foreman, who
iias arranged the matter and measured out the
columns, in tying them up. Now they slip them
from the galleys ou the stone, a i l arrange them
in close parallels. The chase is placed around
them, and the quoins inserted. They who stand
aloof are the apprentices: they are not. allowed
to interfere with this part of the ceremony.
That slender handsome slip of a lad at the cor
ncr has commenced journeyman this day. His
whole frame thrills as he lingers fhc chase. He
feels himself a man. Now all draw back but
two, who raise their mallets to drive the quoins
home, and plain the surface of the form. As
the clatter begins, the brawney pressmen issue
from their den, and swing the ponderous mass
from the st one and. disappear in Ihe press-room
the dull sound of their process may be
to issue. One by one the compositors
havb assumed their jackets and dropped oft’.
The day’s work is over with them all, with the
exception of the unlucky apprentice detained to
fold the papers, who stands brooding bitter
thoughts. While an eager and curious public
is crowding the place of publication, to snatch
the first damp sheets, the silence of lowliness
settles down on the deserted compositors’ room.

rjnilE Trustees of Warrenton Academy, deter
.SL mined to raise their Institution to a standing
that shall warrant a course of Education, liberal and
extensive, have placed at its head Mr. A. BAKER,
of .South Carolina, who. for acquirements and expe
rience. ranks among the first Classical Teachers in
the country. Although they believe Mr. Baker is
well known to the community, they think it may
not be improper to state, that he is recommended in
the highest terms by the lion. John C. Calhoun,
Patrick Noble, Francis IV. Pickens, the old Faculty
of the South Carolina College, and formerly, by
Fisher Ames and Dr. David Ramsay.
The course of Education will be fundamentally
and rigidly correct, and liberally and extensively
produced.
The government of the School will he energetic,
but administered with caution and kindness, and
should any student become so remiss or in anyway
so incorrect, as not to be reformed by an appeal to
his good sense and honorable feelings, he will be
dismissed, if he shall have attained to the age of 14
years, other but parental means will he used, in
similar cases, where the subject shall bo under this
age. The Trustees deem it unnecessary to men
tion the different branches to be taught, but they
assure the community, that a course will be pursued
which will prepare, in a much shorter period than
usual, students lor the Counting-! louse, for College,
nr for the study of a profession. Females will also
be received and may obtain a useful and liberal
Education.

Through to Mobile in four days and twenty hours,

-SSLi every other day immediately after the arrival
ot the Rail Road Cars from Charleston, 8. C-, say
at 8 o olock P. M. via Louisville, Sandersvillr, Haw
kinsville, Pinderlon, and ttrainbridge, Ga., Browns
ville, and Manana, to La Grange, Florida,, thence
per Steam Boats to Pensacola, mid thence per the
splendid Steam Boat Champion to Mobile.
An arrangement having been made with the
steamers plyingbetween Mobile and New Orleans,
whereby the passengers hy the Florida Line wish
ing to prodeedto New Orleans, &c. will,in Mobile
Bay be transferred from the Champion, to the New
Orleans, steamers on their way to that city, thus
the New Orleans traveller is enabled to reach said
city by the Florida Line from two to three days
earlier than by any other route.
'Phe roads are superior and the team? unsurpass
ed, tiie steam boats the best for the service, and the
navigation presents more than be found upon any
steam boat route in the southern region.
The Proprietors offering to the public, speed and
accommodation, so much beyond that of any other
rente between the North and South: hope that the
same will he an inducement for liberal patronage,
whereby they will be remunerated for the heavy
expense w hich it has cost to thus build it up.
They would take the liberty to recommend the
route to all who travel in private conveyances as
as the roads are of such a nature as to enable them
to travel many miles further in a day, with less
fatigue, than over any other, natural roads in our
country, independent, of the expedition per the
Steam boats front La Grange through the beatifttl
Santa Rosa Sound, and the Champion to Mobile.
The great improvements in the route have been
produced by the construction of 40 miles of new
road, viz : from Bainbridge, Ga., to Mariana, Fla.,
instead of the roundabout road hy Chattahoochee,
Florida, and a road from Cow Ford, 4 miles above
Cedar Bloffto La Grange,whereby the navigation
of the Chattahoochee river and its consequent de
tention are entirely a voided, lessening the distance
above 40 miles and improving the facilities more
than one day.
Passengers for St Joseph and Apalachicola wil
take steam boats at Brownsville, on Chattahoochee
river.

Bainhridga every other day via Quincy to Talla

not refused.
PEDIGREE. —John Bascombe is alight cites

cle, with very superior limbs and action, six years
old the ensuing spring; lie was got by ihe celebrated
racehorse old Bertran.This dim was got by Pacolel,

Hampton’s Paragon, and he hy imported Flimnap;

Col. Bird; Burwell’s Traveller was by Morton’s

’ great great grand dam by imported Figure, his great
great great grand dam was old Slaaierkin, w ho was
got by imported Wtldair out of the imported Cub
! Mare. Bascombe’s performances on the Turf are
j of so recent date, and so well known in the United
States. I deem it unnecessary to trouble the public
( with a detail ot them here, and will barely remark
that he has never been beaten since bo has been in
