Ill' C. F. CLAUKSOX. HISTORICAL. Too great a portion of the newspapers of the Isy, are devoted to fictitious tales and too little lo Historical facts relative to our own countrr. and other countries. There are circumstances and facts connerted with our history of twice the interest of any unfounded or fictions tale. In reading a volume of Niles Register the other day, printed in the year 1813, we were much delighted with reading again an account written by Daniel Boone of his first visit to Kentucky, and of the trials and hardships he underwent in the early settlement of that portion of our country. The name of Daniel Boone is familiar to every ear so is also his history to many. But there is ronstsntly arising in our country a new generation

who are spending too many of their long evenings in (reading the cheap and trashy iiovels which are the peculiar curse of the present day. We copy below a short history or Boone's early scenes in Kentucky written by himseir, before which we will give a short sketch or the man. Daniel Boone was born at Bridgeworth, in Somersetshire, England, about the year 1730, While he was young his parents emigrated with him to America, and settled in North Carolina. From early boyhood he loved his gun, and as our early history was merely a history of Indian w ars, he was bred to the profession of Arms, and was retained in the service of the country under the authority of Great Brit!an, and rose to the office of Colonel. He knew not w hat fear was. It will be seen by his own account that he left North Carolina some years before the Revolution, and spent thai exciting period or our history in the wilds of Kentucky and Ohio. In 1812, Col. Boone, being poor, old, and destitute he petitioned Congress for a grant of land. We believe he (Led poor, at the advanced age of about 94, near the Charette village m Warren county, Missouri, and his grave is near the town of Mirthasville. His wife who was the companion of his incredible hardships, perilous adventures, and feats of noble daring, reposes by his side. Their graves is lone and obscure, the spot having been overrun by a thicket of briars. The traveller passes the spot, not knowing that the ashes of one of the greatest men that ever trod the earth reposes there. Many of our school children have read his history, but many hare not. In his memorial to Congress in the year 1912 Daniel Boone says: Ed. American. 1 It was on the first or May, KG'.), that I resigned my domestic happiness, and left my family and peaceful habitation on the Yadkin nrer, in North Carolina, to wander through the wilderness of America, in quest of the country of Kentucky, in company wilh John Fmley, John Stuart, Joseph Ho'lden. James Money, and William Cool. On the seventh or June, after travelling through a mountainous wilderness, in a western direction, we found ourselves on Red river, where John Finlev had formerly been trading with the Indians; and from the top of an eminence saw with pleasure t!ie beautiful level of Kentucky. For some time we had experienced the most uncomfortable weather. We now encamped, made a shelter to defend us from the inclement season, and began to hunt and reconnoitre the country' We round abundance or wild beasls in this vast forest. The buffaloes were more numerous than cattle on other settlements, trowzing upon the leaves of the cane, or cropping the herbage or these entensive plains. N e saw hundreds in a drove, and the numbers sout the salt springs were amazing. In this forest, the habitation or beasts or every Amercan kind, we hunted with success until December. On the 22nd or December J dim Stuart and I had a pleasing rimble; but fortune changed the day at the close of it. We had passed th round a reat fiirpt food myrimads or trees, some gay with blossoms, others rich with fiuits. Nature had here a series or wonders and a fund or delights. Here she displayed her ingenuity and industry n a variety or flowers and fruits, beautifnllv colore!, elegantly shaped, and charmingly flaore.b. and we were diverted wilh numberless animals presenting themselves perpetually to j'r view. the decline of the day, near the Keiuncky rirer, as we decended the brow or a small hiil, a number of Indians rushed out of 'iliick cane brake, and made us prisoners. 'ey plundered us, and kept u in confinement seven days. During this time, we dis Mveied no uneasinrss or desire to escape, hich had made them less suspicion?; but in " dead or night, as we lav bv a large fire in a thick cane brake, when sleep had locked up ?lr soes, my situation not disposing me to rest, I gently awoke my companion. We sei- ' ,,lis ravoraWe opportunity and departed, greeting our course towards our old camp; found it plundered and our companions jpersed r gne home.

On the 10m or October, the rear oT our company was attacked by a number or Indians, who kill ed six, and wounded one man. Or these my eldest son Mas one that Tell in the action. Though we repulsed ihe enemy, yet this unhappy affair scattered our cattle, brought us into extreme difficulty, and so discouraged the whole company, that we retreated forty miles lo Clench river. We had passed over two mountains, Powell's and Waldeirs, and were approaching Cumberland mountain, when this adverse fortune overtook us. These mountains are in the wilderness, in passing from the old settlements in Virginia to Kentucky, are ranged in a S. W. and N. E. direction, are of great length and breadth, and not far distant rrom each other. Over them, nature has formed passes, less difficult than might be expected from the tiew of such huga piles. The aspect or Ihese cliffs is so w ild and horrid, that it is im possible to behold them without terror. Un til the 6th or June. 1774. I remained w ith my family on the Clench, when I and Michael Stoner were solicited by governor Dunmore, of Virginia, to conduct a number of surveyors to the falls of Ohio. This was a tour of near eight hundred miles, and took us sixtytwo days. On my return, governor Dunmore gave me the command of three garrisons, during the campaign against the Shawnese. In March, 177i. at the solicitation of a number of gentlemen of North Carolina. I attended their treaty at Watago, with the Cherokee Indians, to purchase the lands on the south side of Kentnckv river. After this I undertook to mark out a road in the best passage from the settle - ...v.... ....v. ...v. lummuinj. Having collected a number oTenterprising men well armed. I soon began this work. We pioceeded until we came within fifteen miles of where Boonsborough now stands, where the Indians attacked us, and killed two, and wounded two more. This was the 20th of March, 1775. Three days after they attacked us again; we had two killed and three wounded. After this we proceeded on to Kentucky tiver without opposition. On the first of April we began to erect the fort or Boonsborough, at a salt lick, sixty yards from the river, on the south side. On the 4th, they killed one of our men. On the 14tli of June, having finished the fort, I returned to my family, on the Clench. Soon after. I removed my family to this fort: we arrived safe; my wife and daughters being the first white women that stood on the banks or Kentucky river. December 24th, the Indians killed one man and wounded another, seeming determined to persecute us for erecting this fort. July 14ih, 1776, two or colonel Calw ay's daughters and one or mine, were taken prisoners near the fort: I immediately pursued the Indians with only eighteen men. On the 16th I overtook them, killed two ot them, and recovered the girls. The Indians had divided themselves into many parties, and attacked on

the same day, all our settlements nnd forts, doing a great deal of mischief. The husband-jtom

' y "'l'l"j "iiiis, ii ii-u new parents, brothers, sisters and Triends. I was exceedingly familiar and friendly with them, always appearing as rhcerful and satisfied as possible, and they put great confidence in me. I often went a hunting w ith them, and frequently gained their applause for my activ ity at our shooting matches. I was careful nol to exceed many of them in shooting; for no people are more envious than thev are in their sport. I could observe in their countenances and gestures the greatest expressions of tov when they exceeded me, and when the reverse happened, of envy. The Shawanes king took great notice or me, and treated with profound respect and entire friendship, often trusted me to hunt at my liberty. I frequently returned v ith the spoils of the woods, and as often pre sented some or what I had taken to him , expressive ol my duty to my sovereign. My food and lodging was in common with them; not so good, indeed, ns I could desire, but necessity made every thing acceptable. I now began to meditate an escape but carefully avoided giving suspicion. Until the 1st of June I con tinued at Old Chilichothe. and then was taken to the salt springs on the Sciota. and kept there ten days, making salt. During this lime I hunted w ith them, and found the land, for a great i extent about this river, to exceed the soil of Kentucky, if possible, anil remarkably well watered. On m v return to Chilicothe, -150 of the choicest Indian waitiors were ready to march against Boonsborough. painted and armed in a dreadful manner. This alarmed me and 1 deiermiued to escape. On the 16th of June, before sunrise, I went off secretly, and reached Boonsborough on the 20th, a journey or one hundred and sixtv miles, during which I had only one meal. I found our fortress in a bad stale; but we immediately repaired our n.mle nnioo .rioc ..i r. .i .i....i.i u. lt '"bh-iu flim lUMIHU UHUl'IC Oil!lions, which we completed i:t ten days. One 01 mv lenow-prisoners. escaping alter me. brought advice, that on account oT inv flight the Indians had put off the expedition for three weeks. About August 1st, I set out with nineteen men. to surprise Point Creek Town, on Sciola. Within four miles we fell in with thirty Indians going against Boonsborough. We fought and the enemy gave way. We suffered no loss. The enemy had one killed and two wounded. We took three horses, and all their baggage. The Indians having evacuated their town, and gone altogether against Boonsborough, we returned, passed them on the 6th day, and on the 7th ai rived safe at Boonsborough. On the 8th. the Indians army, 444 in number, commanded by Captain Dugnestie, and eleven other Frenrhmen. and their own chiefs, came and summoned the fort. I requested two days consideration, which they granted. During this, we brought in, through posterns, all the horses and other cattle we could collect. On the 9ih. in the evening.

ry white man, as an evidence of friendship. We agreed to this also. They immediately grappled us to lake us prisoners; but we cleared ourselves of ihrm. though surrounded by hundreds, and gained Ihe fort safe, except one that was wounded by a heavy fire from their army. On this they began to undermine the fori, beginning at the water-mark of the Kentucky river, which is sixty yards rrnm the Tort. We discovered this by the wntrr being made muddy with the clay, and countermined them ..- i j .H...6 n C,K across meir subterranean passage. The enemy, discovering this, bv the clay we threw out of Ihe fort desisted. On ine tvui oi August they raised the seige. During this dreadful seige we had two men killed and four woun. led. We loM a number or cattle. We kil'ed 37 or the enemy and wounded a great number. We picked up 125 pounds of ineir nutlets, besides what struck in the logs the fort. Soon after Ibis I went into the settlement, and nothing worthy of notice passed for some lime. In July 1779. during my absence, Col. Bowman with 16.1 men went against the Shawanese or Old Chilicothe. He arrived undiscovered; a battle ensued, which lasted till 10 in the morning, when Col. Bowman retreated 30 miles. The Indians collected nil their strength and pursued him, when another engagement ensued for two hours, not to Colonel Bowman's advantage. Col Harrod proposed to mount a number or horses, and break the enemy's line, who at this time fought with remarkable ftiry. This despeiate measure had a happy effect, and the savages fled on i.ll sides. In these two battles we had nine men killed and one wounded. The enemy's loss was uncertain, only two scalps being taken. June 22d, 1780. about 600 Indians and Canadians under Col. Bird, attacked Riddle's and Martin's stations, and forks of Licking river, with 6 pieces or artillery; they took all the inhabitants captive, and killed one man and Iwo women, and loaded theothers with Ihe heavy baggage, and such as failed in the journey were tomahawed.

About this time I returned to Kentucky with my family; for during my captivity, my wife thinking me killed bv the Indians, had trans ported my family and goods on horses, throu' the wilderness, amidst many dangers, to her i oner's house, in North Carolina The history or my difficulties in going an! rolrnin. is too long to be inserted here. On the 6ih of Octo ber, 1780, soon after my settlingagain at Boons borough. I went w iih my brother to the Blue Licks; and. on our return, he was shot by a party or Indians; they followed mcby the scent or a dog, which I shot and escaped. The severity or the winter caused great distress in Kentucky, the enemy during tte summer having destroyed most or the corn. The inhabitants lived chiefly on Buffaloes' flesh. In spring 1782, the Indians harrassed us. In May they killed one man at Ashton's station, and took a negro. Capt. Ashton pursued them with 2a men; and, in an engagement which lasted two hours, he was obliged to retreat, havmg eight killed, and four mortally wounded; their brave commander foil in action. August 10, two boys were carried off from major Hoy's station. Capt. Holder pursued with 17 men; they were also defeated, and lost four and one wounded. Our affairs became more and more alarming. The savages infested the country, killing men at every opportunity. In a field, near Lexington, an Indian shot a man. and running to scalp him, was himself shot from the fort, and fell dead upon his enemy. All the Indian nations were now united against us. August 15. 500 Indians and Canadians came against Briant's station, five miles from Lexington: they assailed the fort, killed nil the cattle round it; but being repulsed, they retired the third day. having about 30 killed, their wounded uncertain. The garrison had four killed and three wounded. Augrst 18, Col. Trigg, major Harland. and myseir. speedilv cnllected 176 men well armed, and pursued the savages. They had marched beyond the Blue Licks, to a remarkable bend or the main fork of the Licking river, about forty-three miles from Lexington, where we oveitook them on the 19th. The savages observing us, gave way, and we. ignorant of their numbers, passed the river. When they saw our proceedings, having greatly the advantage in situation, they formed their line of battle from one bend of the Licking to the other about a mile from the Bluo Licks. The battle was exceedingly fierce for about fifteen minutes, when we. being overpowered by numbers, were obliged lo retreat, wiih ihe loss of sixty-seven men. seven of whom were taken prisoners. The brave and much lamented Colonels Todd and Trigg. Major Harland, and my second son, were among the dead. We were afterward told, that ihe Indians on numbering their dead, findirg they had four more killed than we, four of our people that they had taken were givrn up to their young warrirors, lo be put to death after their barbarous manner. On our retreat we were met by Col. Logan, who was hastening m join us with a number or well armed men this powerful assistance we wanted on the day of battle. The enemy said, one more fire from us would have made them give way. 1 cannot)

Lexington. Many widows were now made. The reader may guess what sorrow filled the hearts of the inhabitants, exceeding any thing I am able to de-scribe. Being reinforced we returned to bury the dead; and found their bodies strewed every where, cut and mangled ir a dreadful manner. This mournful scene exhibited a horror almost unparalleled; some torir and eaten by wild beasts; those in the river eaten by fish; all in such a putrified condition j that no one could be distinguished from anothj er. hen lien. Cla'k, at the falls of Ohio, heard or our disaster, he orH Prpil All .vnAitilini, to pursue the savase. We overtook iliim within two miles or their towns, and we should have obtained a great victory had not some of them met us when Bboul 200 poles from their camp. The savages fled in the utmost disorder, and evacuated all their towns. We burnofied to ashes Old Chilicothe, Peccaway, Newiniiicoiiie, ills-1 own and Chilicothe; entirely destroyed their corn and other fruits, and spread desolation through their country. We took seven prisoners and five scalps, and lostonly four men. two of whom wre accidently killed by ourselves. This campaign damped the eremy, yet they made secret incursions. In October a party attacked Crab Orchard; and one of them being a good way before the others, boldly entered a house, in which were only a woman and her children and negro man. The savage used no violence, but attempted to arry off Ihe negro, wholiappily proved too strong for him, and threw mm on the ground, and in the struggle the w oman cut off his head with an axe,whilt her little daughter shut the door. The savages instantly came up, and applied their tomahawks lo the door, when the moth, er put an old rua'.y gun band through a crevice, the savages went off. From that lime until the happy return of peace between the United States and Great Britain, the Indiana did us no injury. Soon after the Indians desired peace. Two darling sons and a brother I have lost by savage hands, which hae also j taken forty vMuahle horses and an abundance ! of cattle. Many dark and sleepless r.ighhj j have I spent separated from the cheerful socineiyoimen, scorched ty the summer's sun. 1 and pinched by the winter's cold, an instru ment ordained to settle the wilderness. But now ihe scene is ch.mged; peace crowns llio sylvan shade. January 18th, 1SI2. ADVICE TO MELANCHOLY. Well, sir, how have you been? Down in the mouth togain! Aye, "sir. you have been looking at something too long. Never should do that. In a woilJ that is whirling a thousand miles an hour, every ihing should bo taken at a glance. Get the wit of a tiling, and havedone with it. I give you five minutes a day to look at the stars, but don't particularize; for some in those far off planets send their light down long after they have been knocked out of existence, and you may be looking at a blank. Look out for such delusions, nnd act, remembering that the poetry of the hour, like the rrenm of your coffee, should be fresh ever) morning. Oh, sir, in a f world that never halts for a moment, in its everlasting amusements, your small agony is unpardonable. Why the clouds and darkness are a part or the day. Certainly part of the play. Rain and snow, and chillywinds, pain, trouble and tormentthose are the variations for which you may thank God. If there were not plainer faces and worse figures, your little wife would soon be a perfect fright lo you, a perfocl fright. Find your bubble and blow but never stop to look at the colors. Let them burst; no matter for that while your wind lasts. Blow away, there's nothing like it. If you are tired like myseir, and would like to look on I can only say that the moralities of such speculations are hazardous; and if you have any wind left, it is better to die w ith a rouud cheek than a hollow one. A man with a bubble is flatulent; and a woman without one that's impossible. Take my advice, sir. and let the world wag. If it rhoose to run off the track, let it. and if a comet has a mind to take us en route to the sun, why blaze away! There are thousands of better dots in creation than this old concern, and whether we go up. down or sideways rocket, earthquake, or thirty two pounder, we shall land somewhere; can't get lost no how. 1848. Already there is a movement looking to the Presidency in 1S18. The Philadelphia U.S. Gazette says: We noticed that one of the Native American papers, yesterday nominated Gen. W. Scott and Judge McLean, as the candidates for President and Vice President. The Boston Courier, a few days sinr-e, came out wilh a well digf sled editorial in favor of Native Americanism. The Courier is special, ly favmable to Mr Webster. We do not know that there was anv connection between the sentiments of the able editor of the Courier on ihe subject to which we re'er, and the no mination of Mr. Webster in 1819.
