AULD SCOTH NANNIE. DANIEL BOONE. 'Of all men saving Scylla, the manslayer, who passes for, in life or death most lucky. Of the great name that in our faces stare. The General Boone, Backwoodsman of Kentucky, Was happiest among mortals any where. Tor killing nothing but a bear or buck, he Enjoyed the lonely, vigorous harmless days Of his old age in wilds of deepest mare." BYRON. When stories are related over a winter's fire, in that considerable planet called the Mississippi Valley, no name is more familiar, or will ever be in the narrator's lips than that of Boone. It has not yet gathered half its fame there is nothing like it in history: and this same back woodsman should be ranked above Romu lus or any other founder to which nations looked with reverence. Ho was born near Bristol in Pennsslvania in 1740, but afterwards lived at Reading, till, at the age of 13, he removed with his father to the Valley of Yadkin in North Carolina. The sports of the boy denoted the pursuits of the man: and as soon as ne couiu poise a gun, ne wageu exterminating war upon the squirrels, raccoons and wild-cats. In this he was pre-eminent above all boys of his age. He loved not the imprisonment of a school, though he acquired the rudiments of a common education, The tedious day of study spent. The heavy moulded lecture done. He to the woods a hunting went. But sighed to see the setting sun. His passion was for the woods, and a tree looked to him like a friend. He had tkatbestof followcrs.a dog, and that unquestionable friend, a gun. With them he past his days in the forest. On his first long absence when scrarcely fourteen, the neighbors sympathising with the alarmed family turned out for a search; for it was feared that "an evil beast had devoured him.' After a long and weary hunt, they discovered at the distance of a league from any plantation, a cabin of sods and branches, a comfortable hut that would have commanded the respect of Robinson Crusoe. It was some what covered with skins of wild beasts and garnished with trophies of the sylvan chase. A joint of game was roasting nt the fire. Here they found tho juvenile Nimrod, who at that green age was a hunter of wolves, bears, and panthers. It is recorded of him that being in the woods of Pennsylvania with other boys, they heard close at hand the harch and formidable scream of the panther. All retreated but Boone, whose coolness never deserted him. The animal was near and crouching in the atti tude to spring; when Boone lodged a bullet in his heart. These encounters were to his taste. The blood more stirs. To rouse a lion than to start a hare. But, he had contributed, not his mite, but his talent, towards creating a scarcity f game, nnd he was gratified when his father carried the household penates to the wilderness, for such was the residence cn the Yadkin. The removal was a patrtarchial procestion. The old man carried wife, children, servants, flocks and herds. The whole family loved retirement and disliked to live in houses with bolts and locks. To Daniel was assigned the venatic depart ment, and he discharged its duties faith- j fully, but he had no esteem for an ax or a plough. The farm indeed prospered, but ! there was more venison than beef. I These were golden days for Boone, but j his success attracted other settlers, who ! came "cranking in"' and he s?w the! smoke at other cabin?, ami w hat was hard er, he heard tl he sound of falling trees. fe was not unfavorable to This sylvan 1 the kindly atlections. whirh urrp tmn

" were roads, villages, metes, oounas, iaws and lawyers. Ho resolved to quit them all and to dive deeper into the wilds. To escape all these evils it was necessary to interpose the barrier ol the Alleghany mountains. A few hunters and others naa brought back golden reports of the west ern regions which excited every imaginalion, mil leu irrcssisuoiy uuuu wwnv i . r ii I 1 Tl - But no description could exceed tne oeaulv nr mnftnifirwirB fit the west. What ever was errand in mountains, or beautiful in river or vegetation, was there. The caverns under the earth had the extent of the largest cities, and ran beneath navigable rivers. There were in the rock, footsteps of men, horses and other animals as distinct as if made in snow. The a nimals' remains were prodigious in size. The streams in some places ran through limestone walls of 400 feet. It was a tcr restrial naradise to which all the animals which gave their names in Lden seemed gathered. It was a country of warriors: and happy, thrice happy were the first ex plorers. Among these, was Finley, who on his return from North Carolina, tound Kindred spirit in Boone. They were too much pleased with each other to par for the winter, and rinley was the guest of Boone' till they had matured a plan for occupying Kentucky in the spring. On the first of May then in 17by, the two leaders with four followers, all me bolder than the Argonauts, assembled and the neighbors met to witness their ir departure. The adventurers had each a a rifle, ammunition and a knapsack. Tears filled the eves of honest Daniel as he turned from the door, for he was as kind and affectionate, as brave and persevering. The poet has called him the "Man of Ross, run wild." Having crossed the wooded ridges, they stood on the western declivity of the Cumberland mountain What a scene! an interminable extent of wood, river and prairie, without inhabitant, for it was the hunting ground, not the abode of the Indians. When Boone was thus retreating from so ciety it could not have occurrred to him ev en as a possibility, that in half a centurjL this country would have four millions off inhabitants of which he was the pioneer and that the water would be navigated by more than 200 large vessels. It is not easy to realize these changes after they have happened ; but none surely would have predicted them. The adventurers came at the foot of the mountain upon a herd of buffaloes 7iwZo custode, unappropriated flocks, of thousands. These passed on, with the force of a torrent, and the travellers were in imminent danger of being crushed. Finley however, who was no novice, but a hunter fit to stand by Nimrod and "givo di lireclorns idei i tions," lodged a bullet between the ho of an unwieldly bull, one of the lead of the column. He fell, and those near turn sinnnpd I ma rruatcH rrr fnaiAn ....... w.r. uo.w.. . tne mass uenina, wnicn however pressedl onward opening where the fallen buffalo lay, ana tins opening widened as the two masses of animals passed onwards, giving a space for the hunters. As the last division thundered by, Boone exclaimed Job of Uz, had not larger droves of cattle than ours.' They had successful hunting, and collected many peltries, without having met during the summer a single Indian. So passed their time to near the close of the year. But in a subsequent exploring expedition,Boone and Stewart were captured by a party of Indians who sprang upon them from the cane brake both captives understood the advantage of appearing unconcerned, and, they marched with at least cheerful countenances. This cave ascendency to the advise cf those anions the Indians who were for sparing life, and, deceived by the apparent contempt of the captives, vigilance was remitted on the part of the Indians, but none 4as wanting on the side of the prisoners.)n the seventh night, the savages having fWl plentifully before a great fire, fell intoTJ ucvi siuiuuer. iiu ooone anu nis companion were not drowsy. Boone raised himself to a sitting posture, looking round to see if his motion had been observed. An Indian turned in his sleep, nnd Boone fell back to his recumbent posture. After a quarter of an hour he sat up again, and had some silent communication with Stewart, who without waking any one had got upon his feet. They retired from the circle of sleepers, and were lucky enough to get their rifles from tho place where they stood. Then they stole silently into the woods. This was at dawn. i and at night they wero at their camp. iney saw torms approaching, who on being challanged, answered, "white men and friends," and Boone found in the Strangers his brother and a companion ho just arrived from the Yadkin. They pursued their occupation of hunt ing, but w ere aware that the Indians wcVe in tho neirhborhonf! Sff-irr -no L-inj

Yet he used to affirm that this period was the happiest ,u ms u,eBut it had many dangers. One day as ne rented m one ol his excursions und?r the shade of a tree, he perceived four

ndians advancing openly as though they

had not discovered him. As four to one was too great odds even for him, he forth with gained the shelter ol tne www but after having gone two miles, he perceived that he was pursued. I" pursuera foiled all his tracts and leinis, inougu had not vet seen mm. At last he swuns himself on a grape vine that was suspended Irom a' tree and tnus made a jump of some yards by which he broke the trail. His next danger was from a ferocious she-bear, which came up on him,but was killed by a thrust from his knife. In due time his brother returned, mount ed on one horse, and leading another, hea vily laden. After a short epace it was determined that both should return to North Carolina for the family and other settlers, that would make the residence secure. On the second day of this journey Boone shot a panther upon the back of a buffalo where he was fastened by his teeth ana claws. Four or five families joined them in North Carolina, and the cavalcade set North late in September 1773. In Powell's Valley 40 persons more came in, who raised the number of emigrants to nearly 90 persons. On the west side of an Alleghany Ridge, in a narrow defile, the little colonyH were suddenly terrified by fearful yells, "As all the fiends from Heaven that fell Had pealed the banner cry of Hell." They were surrounded by savages who killed six at the first onset, but were repulsed by a discharge of rifles. Among the slain was the eldest son of Boone he domestic animals were scattered and ost. I his commencement was too mausVicious for the hardihood of the party I . i :i - .u wnicu reiurneu iuriv nines iu mo bcuioment on Clinch River. In 1774, Boone, then a resident at this settlement, was requested by the Gover nor of Virginia, to guide a party of sur veyorstothe falls of Ohio. He was appoint cd to the command of two contiguous grrisons on the frontier, with the rank of captain. He was also required to lay out a road from the settlements on thellolston to the Kentucky river. The party were repeatedly assailed by the Indians, and several of the laborers were killed. This party then built a fort, or a blockhouse and cabins surrounded by palisades, at Boonesborough, when Boone returned for tins iamnv, anu uis wue ana nis uaugmer I I II' ' 11 1 1. Pvvere the first white women that ever be held the Kentucky river. He was the ac tual settler and cultivator of the soil in Kentucky. The Indians though not amicable, did not attempt any immediate assault, and the great Commonwealth began its infant existance under happy auspices. The seeds of future empire took root and flourished. It is true there was danger; but there was no fear. In felling trees it was needful for the woodsman to look sharply at others, lest they should conceal a foe, and to be as familiar with the rifle as with the axe. Trees were cut cr girdled, and a garden soon surrounded the rude cabins. I ...... hiinrfreri fold increase. Tho fe males sometimes ventured beyond the pasades. Ihere were amoncr them three rustic graces, maidens; upon whom the wild solitude had stamped its impress. One afternoon they wandered forth like Proserpine, and her companions, and on the same floral errand, when they were suddenly seized by six savages. Some natural shrieks they raised, but hushed them soon for it is known of the Indians, that they are more renowned than Europeans for their decorum to female prisoners. No law is so sacred with them as that of honor; no penalty so hard as disgrace. The loss was soon communicated to the garrison and inexpressibly dear to the parents were the lost ones. Col. Calloway and Capt Boone, the parents, solicited volunteers to pursue the Indians, under an oath to retake the captives or die. Cowards wero scarce, and every man crowded around Boone to repeat the oath which has come down to us, "by the Eternal Power that made me a father, if my daughter lives, and is found, I will either bring her back or spill my life blood." Seven only (besides the parents) were selected to pursue. The trail was difficult to find, for it had been most artfully concealed, and was at last discovered by chance. The rearward Indians had covered the steps with leaves; the party often turned off at right angles and coming to a brook walked in the water. But it is hard to deceive a backwoodsman. When at a loss for the trail near a brook, they found some thing upon the ground more precious than all the diamonds of Sinbad's Valley. This was a little parcel of ribbons dropped by one of the captives. Afterwards they found a shred of hankerchief, or minute piece of dress, enough to show the pursuers that the piisone.-s had in all their troubles,forcsighuy a collected mind. Next day the footprints became plain, so that the backwoodsmen could tell the number of fugitives. On the fifteenth day's march, late in the ered in the wood a recapture or assault was committed to Boone, and he led his company to encamp, when some slept under the guard of a sentinel, w hile Boone, Calloway and a third, waited for midnight to approach and reconnoitre the enemy. These falling prostrate, crept by inches towards the Indians, so that "the blind mole could not hear a foot fall." Pushing aside the bushes they beheld 17 Indian in sound sleep upon the ground and they ihscovcrc. also an other camp near, and crawling round this, they beheld the maidens guarded by t o warriors with tomahaws & other weapons. One appeared to slumber the other seemed but too vigilant. Boone by a motion, directed Calloway to keep his muzzle upon the sleeping Ind'ian while he crept round to spring upon the watchful one. and to strangle him ifpossible without awakening the sleeper. But if he slept, he was easily awakened, for the shadow ef Boone roused him, and he sprung up uttering a yell that made the forest ring. The first thought of Callo-

way and Boone was to fire, lot they

framed and supplicated for their daugh-J ters. 1 nev were bound and a csuncii was held by the lavages who determined to despatch their new captives without tor ture, a favor too seldom accorded to tne Long Knives. They were led out and bound to a tree. The executioners stood near with their tomahawks, and the prisoners were taking a last look at the forest, when a discharge arrested the immolation. An other and another volley succeeded, and the Indians fled in confusion, when joy of joy s ! tho fathers loosened the bonds of their daughters! In 1777, Kentucky was organized as a county of Virginia. In April of this year, a body of IOC Indians invested Boonsborough, supplied mostly with arms, though some had arrows. Boone received them in a manner that made them as anxious to go as they had been willing to come. In July he resisted an other horde of 200. After a close siege of two days they raised a yell of disappointment and disappeared in the forest.' Every house in the early settlements, was a garrison and sustained its sieges. The fortifications were simple, but the besiegers had little skill. The station was generally on an cminance, and every thing was removed that could conceal or protect the enemy. Tho enclosure con tained more than half an acre, and it it had no spring was furnished with a well or reservoir for water. The trench sur rounding the fort was five feet deep, and in this were planted large and contiguous pickets of hard timber twelve feet in t - height. At the angles, were projecting squares, where the sentry could rake the whole front. i he chief expedient ot the red men was to set fire to the building, which however, they seldom effecte Bryant's station was attacked in 1752 by GOO Indians, who found the garrison without a supply of water. The path that led to the well was commanded by a concealed band. Yet the women of the besieged, more noble than the Roman wives or maidens, volunteered to go forth for a supply of water. They went and returned till they had filled the reservoir, though they saw here and there a painted face under covert of the weeds. The Indians i respected this generous self devotion and no one fired. Where such are the mothers, what are the sons? Boone was the most formidable leader of the Long Knives. He was the patri i r- . l settlement, and often supplied arcn oi tne the destisute with game. When emigrant families were approaching he went ..... . out to meet them and conduct them in. Once as he was hunting to supply his party with ibod, he was approached b two Indians, armed with muskets and" tomahawks. Hcslipt behind a tree, exposing his person in some degree, to attract their fire. This he escaped, and he then drew the fatal trigger and one of his enemies fell dead. There remained a single combat in which one party must fall. One was armed with a knife the other with a tomahawk, both rushed towards the body of the fallen Indian. Boone received the blow of the tomahawk on his rifle, and plunged his knife to the hilt in his adversary's body. This is commemorated in sculpture over the Southern door of the ! Rotunda in the capitol at Washington. He was afterwards captured and carried to Chillicothe, where he was adopted into ! an Indian family and treated kindly. He became a general favorite. But after a while the tribe determined on an exp tion against Boonsborough, and Boone resolved to attempt an escape. The expe dition was on its way when the opportunity occurred, by the appearance of a deer which Boone was permitted to pursue. When out of sight he instantly turned, with his best speed, for Boonesborough, using every craft to mislead his pursuers. Few but Boone could have found hi3 way and concealed his trail. Travelling night and day, he went two hundred miles in a brief space, and was received with shouts by his friends. A new force was sent against this garrison of GOO Indians, commanded by a Frenchman, Duquesne. Col. Boone and another went out on a proposition for a parley, but they posted twenty-five men in a bastion, with orders to fire on the council on any appearance of violence or treachery. The two were seized by the Indians, when the men in the bastion fired, and the traitor who held Boon's companion was killed. In the confusion occasioned by this prompt fire, both escaped to the garrison. The Indians attempted to burn the palisades, but the fire was extinquished, and to mine from the river bank, but their work fell in. On the morning of the ninth day they retired, after having lost two hundred of their number. But two men were killed in the garrison; one hundred and twenty -fivo pounds of bullets were gathered iu the fort. While Boone was a captive at Chillicothe, his wife supposing that he was deadreturned with the family to North Carolina. Kentucky had been to her the j bloodyground. Her first bom son had ! fallen on its threshold, the daughter had been a captive, restored by the imminent risk of her father; and the father himself had as she feared, perished under savage tortures. The party arrived on pack hores, and they were clothed in skins. Bone afterwards returned to visit them T When he returned to Kentucky, he could freely indulge iu his passion lor the chase, for there was now no danger from the Indians. But as the Indians retired, the land be1 came more valuable, and deeds and titles came in rupute. Uoono had explored and occupied unclaimed tracts, but speculators and lawyers ousted him. This however, he bore better than the diminution of game Litigation upon land titles took place of Indian wars. The events of Boone's suits was not such as would reconcile him to laws, judges, juries and lawyers, and he '.clthis heart drawn towards the prairies of the Missouri. Behold the little family then upon a new and distant pilgrimage. They passed through Cincinnati 30 years ago, when that noblo city was a small village. Having being asked here how he could leave Kentucky? "Too crowd

A 'country editor, whose business had expanded into more ramifications than he could find time for, thus gives notice of a curtailment of his operations. "Peculiar circumstances render it necessary for us We, the Editor to curtail our business.
