THE INDIAN SCOUT. The devotion of our forefathers to the lotereiti of their country, their tevere privations, their enduring con tanc to the immortal cause, their ftatience nnder trial?, sometimes startine, sometimes long and arduous, is well known to a posterity grateful Tor all they suffered, all the pnngs and hardships they endured. Tbs cool intrepidity, the daring tact in military warfare, the calm mdiflerence, (the result of conscious superiority,) with which they undertook nny enterprise, no nutter how -hazardous it might be, must command the admiration of all future ages. It would seem as if the genius of tatm resolution presided over alt their actions. The incidents whicK we are about to relate, are nutters connected with the eatly history of our country, and will serve to evince how much we are indebted to (that "brave bund," in however subordinate a situation they might be for the possession of the liberty we now enjoy. Lord Chatham, in one of his indigTiaut mood, in the hou?e of lords, pronounced, p?rhp, the most lie metidocs and well deserved philMpic against Mr. Walnotr, tint ever v&s

heard in any puVic body upon anv occasion. Mr. Wat pole, it seems, had r;sin in his place, and j,jUli,d the employ msnt cf Indians in tlio war against the colonists, "for it 1 perfectly jus tifiable," said Mr. Walpolc, "to u s nil the means to subdue them tint (iod and nature have placed in our hands!'' As though a tuunJeibot h ad f alien nt his feet, lord Chatham sat for a inoment; and but for a tiuaienl, at the Htouddi annutir iation. "Iam tonished,s'iotked,M s lid lie, 't.T har Sdch sentiments and tutti principles avJWcd in this house!

It is well known tls.it the I idi ans ' Kite cmplojcd to ftht iigaiint tlie ; colonists, and that they pursued a : most des.datin nnd in b.iiiniuate , Airfare. The cunning of thr savage wu united with th? lulled th,y bote , t those whom they co ii l.-r .d a in ( traders on their soil. ' The events which we are about to : record, are matters of history, nt ; though not cenefally known by the. public mindt yet they nevertheless! item to ctinco ths stem dexotiun. thii cool deterntinalion, an I the ad , tmrable skill wi'.h which some or the hcts of that time were achieved. It Hill be evident, however, that iioth ing but the most txtlled paliioti-in, ii. .1 . . . . 1 . in? inosi caim ueiernun ition to sacrt Rce to his country's cms, could have ' induced a mm to peril his life in the; winner that the ono whom wc are h bout to mention ventured his life. In penetrating through the country towards trie northern tairl of this tate, it became very necessary for die colonist tolmva a constai t vigi'ince Upon the Indians, who were eviry night pronling about, and, as will JO seetl in the sequel, with but too faml an effect. The army stationed ipon (what was then tailed) the I northern linc, were ever held in contint requisition, in consequence of 'It a ttrlittlt -v f t ti a s ft l v ti ira ftt. is l-i rl HIW OVII! li VI VUTi 11 fj laia he restless, nightly vindictiveness itli which they pursued their preda'o ry warfare. Arrived nt n cettaiu point where bey thought they could encamp with ecurity, they pitched their tents, parook of their frugal meal; the tattoo teat, and all, except the sentinels, the ;uard and the otlicers, tried to rest. All the camp, except those on duty, sere in silent repose, and nought was IAt kill Ihd nriidctAHal r ll n 1 1 en fTf nf I V. IK I . U U . . 1 V. VV I Willi I .

The a srm spread to the tents of the offitrs, and the guard was ordered out, I ascertain from whence the tire roceeded. They approached the tot from whence the shot teemed to i?e been fired, and there! fatal

certainty! they found the dead body of the deceased sentinel! It seems that his post was situated along the edge of a piece of wood 4 and that there was an openingng about half the distance of his beat, In passing this opening he had ilJeen ttiot by the rifle of (as it will hereafter appear,) an Indian chief. Another sentinel was placed upon the post, and nothing further transpired that night, although the sentinel on duty liad strange misgivings as to the mysterious shot that had lain his comrade low ! The next night the same post( was manned by a brave soldier, undjjtist before the relief (which cune every two hours,) appeared another crack of a rifle was heard in the ittne dircctin, and, upon repairing to the spot, low! another sentinel had fal len. The soldiers raised th dead body of this second victim t-f Indian rvt it fice; and one of them v- is heard to mutter in a I off tout;. l it revenge thi. death of my own ru m ules un tin' savage, if there's cuii-i-.! in ti van kce."

Act your pleasure, only, if you are shot, don't blame me.' Not a bit a fear of that, sir, If you only let me whistle und sing on my post.' Do any thing you;likeni trust you: and if you kill him, I'll make a lieutenant of you.' The sentine l made hit salute, and departed to make his arrangementt for the coming en-

counter'; which he was convinced, without the exercise of much cunning, might be n fearful one, and awaited

the hour of tattoo, with an atr ol conscious superiority even over Indian cunning. During the hour between tattoo and ten he was busily engaged in browning his rifle, and in procuring the gray dress or uniform, which his captain had promised him. The object, as the reader, or course, will perceive, of browning his rifle, and assuming the gray uniform, was, that his positionmight not so readily be discovered by the Indian. At ten o'clock, he took his po9t! : he walked on quietly, backward and j forward, past the fatal opening hi the teoo.-, (for his beat lay directly past it) until near half pest eleven j lie then bean to hum a tune, and j then io trhistle, as if careleBS of any danger, (or unconscious of it) around him. Continuing on in this mariner, until within about five minutes of ; w..-lvc, whee lo ! hs he parsed the 0-j':-iing in the wood, wUing as he a-alkcd, he thought he discovered in !i moodglit, the ornaments of an io !ian chief!

The next day saw the humbe private u Zieutenant r Preservation oIMppIes. The following valuable observations, contained in a letter from Noah Wehster, Esq., have been published in the Massachusetts Agricultural Repository: "It is the practice of some persons to pick apples in October, and first spread them on the floor of an upper room Apples after remaining so long on the trees ns safety from the frost will admit, should be taken directly from the tree to close casks, nnd kept as dry and cool as possible. If suffered to be on the door for weeks, they wither and loose their flavor without acquiring any additional durability. The best mode of preserving apples for spring use, I have found to be the puling them in dry sand as

soon as picked. For this purpose I dry sand hi the heat of the sum mer, and late in October, put down the apples in layers, with

a covering of sand upon each layer. The singiilaradvantages of this mode of treatment nre these.' 1st. The sand keeps the apples from the air, which is essential to their preservation. 2d. Sand checks the evaporation of the apples, thus preserving their full flavor at t lie time any moisture yielded by the apples (and some there will be) is absorbed by the sand, so that the apples are kept dry, and all mustiness is prevented. My pippins in May ri T nkn i I t i ana June, ore as Iresli as when i hrst picked: even the CnUS Of! the stems look as it just seperated from the twig. PORK.
