OI K LOCAL HISTORY.
Th> .Innlaln Valley piircliiwetl by tbe
I'eniiH for £4oo—The Indians repudiate
the harrain—Ht'-eessliiii of the % alley to
the Indians; Stringent legislation In
regard to "Squatters Hostility of the
Indians; farts for protection of the set
tlers; Xaeencrets by the savage*: Wagon
road from London Jicross the Allesba
ilies; first Clou ring-mills in fledtortl
County, Ac.
The occupation by "squatters," of
lands owned by tbe Indians, referred to
previously, was only temporarily hin
dered by the efforts of the provincial
authorities. The intrepid adventurers
still persisted in occupying these lands,
and finally thePenns found it necessary
for the peace of the Province, to malic
an effort to extend the boundaries of
their possessions by purchase from the
savage proprietors. Accordingly, at a
treaty in Albany, in 17"4. Thomas and
RichardPenn purchased the whole Ju
nh'tta Valley from some of the Indian
Sachems, for £400! But those chiefs of
the Indian tribe--, who were not present
at this treaty, refused to regard it as
blading upon them, and pronounced
the transition a fraud. "They said
line did .lot understand the points of
the com pas-, and if the line was so run
as to include the west branch of the
Susquehanna, thtv would 'never agree
to it." According tn .Smith's Laws, vol.
xxi., p. 120. "the land vherc the Shaw
nee and Ohio Indians 'ived, and tiie
hunting-ground of the jfo.'awarcs, the
Xanticokes, and the Tupci'os*. were all
included."- So decided and gt n "ral v, as
the dissatisfaction of the India n;:, that
in order to keep what few ron Wed
from being alienated, the propriars
found ii necessary lo cede buck to then\ i
at a treaty held in Easton, in October,
17A-S, all the 'and lying north and west i
of the Alleghany mount: ins, within
the province."—[Jones'Juniata Vailev,
p. 52,. The "squatters" still continuing '
their tre.-pa.-c- upon the Indian hinds, ;
the Provincial Council'pa.—ed the :'oi
towihg severe enactment, in February, j
1768;
"That if m y person settled upon .he :
unpurchased lauds, neglected or refused ;
to remove from the same within thirty
days after they were required so to do
by persons to bo appointed lor that pur
pose liy the Governor, or by his procla-1
mat!on, or, having so removed, should i
return to sach - itiement, or the settle
ment of any other person, with or with
out a family, to remain and settle on
such lsinds, every such person -o neglect
ing or refusing to remove, or returning
to settle as aforesaid, or that should set
tle after the requisition or notice afore
said. being legally convicted, wr.s to be
punished with death, without the ben
efit of elergv."
Rut this pieee of legislation did not
have any effect upon the dogged ?>ersi.- -
tenee of the "squatters." In fact it was
never (xecuted, tho' offenders against
its provisions were not wanting. Tlie
result was, as before stated, the hostility
of the Indians and the massacre of ma
ny of the setters. During the wars
with the incensed red men, large num
bers of the inhabitants fled to the more
thickly populated sections. In 171>3,
peace was made with the neighboring
tribes, and in October, I7fil, the Ohio
Indians also ceie-ed their raids upon the
sel f Lenten ts, which enabled tic scatter
ed inhabitants to return to thbir homes
and resume the cultivation and im
provement of the lands they formerly
held by "the right of possess!' u."
The. French war was raging when the
fir.-1 important settlements were made
in the region now included within the
limits a" Rod ford county. Tho Indians,
having formed an althaea with the
French, were v vy hostile to the new
invaders of their huntitig-grounds and
resisted their encroachments with great
'determination and ferocity. Hundreds
of the settlers, without distinction as to
age or sex, wbre killed by the savages.
The only protection all. axled the set
tlers against the assaults of these im
placable enemies, \V;W a line of -mail
forts, erected by the inhabitants them
selves, the principal of which and the
first erected, was the one iocated where
the town of Bedford now.-tat.ds. There
were others at various points, known as
Fort Littleton, (the location of which
is at present includeil within thoeoit
linesof Pulton county,} Martin'.- Fort,
I'iperV Fort, arc! Wingam's Fort. The
only oft* of theke everoccupied i>y Brit
i-li troof.was that at 1 Jed ford. The
!*revisional Record:- .-how that during
tiK* depredations of the Indian-, just
snokon of, 27 plantations wore burned,
and, tlis t of "9:1 families which settled
in the Coves and Couolioway.-, 17 were
either kiiied or t-arried into captivity."
Numerous others, of whom tradition
alone gives account, met with a similar
fate.
We are indebted to a paper prepared
many years si nc, by Hon. George Third,
(deceased,) and John Mower, Esq., of
this place, for the following authentic
statements in regard to the early settle
ment of khecounty:
"The original white population was
composed of Scotch-Irish, and their de
scendants, constituting the frontier set
tlers. It is said by cue whose opportu
nities for accuracy of research, were fa
vorable, t hat the county did not pros
per much until 17S0, or thereabouts,
when the*' Jerricans from Franklin.Cum
lierihnd, York and ! monster, began to
porir into OUT fertile vail ,ys end coves.
This was not uniii iheindinnshad ceas
cd o be a terror to the settlers.
"Although the Inhabitants were, from
Xh<f time of the first settlements, cou
.-hjmly on their guard ugain.-t the lu
ililuis. yet tlie principal troubles com
niienced at the break ing out of theKev
■ojutionary war. A frontier life at that
tnne was one constant scene of strife
and danger. Bedford county was, at
the time, the Alleghany frontier, and
its inhabitants were, consequently, ex
posed to the full force of savage fury,
and severely did it often fall upon them.
"At theeoiumencement of the Revo
lution, the county of Bedford furnished
two companies, who marched to Boston;
and, although but a frontier county, at
a distance from the principal scenes oi
excitement and points of information,
contained asn.uch of tiie patriotic spirit
of the day as could be found anywhere.
A meeting was held, composed of for
mers and the most substantial citizens,
who, entering fully into the spirit of
the Revolution, passed a number of res
olutions prohibiting the introduction
and use of every article of foreign man
ufacture."
In 17on. a force of three hundred men
was sent out by the provincial authori
ties, to open a wagon road from Fort
Loudon (from which Loudon, Franklin
county, derives Us name) to the forks of
the Youghiogheny. The project, how
ever, was not prosecuted to completion,
until three years after, when General
Forbes marched against FortDuquesne.
The route of ibis road lay through the
heart of what at present constitutes
Bedford county. Washington, then a
< 'okmol of the Virginia troops, opposed
the making of this road, as did the Vir
ginians generally, for the reason, as al
leged, that it would give IVnnsyhani
ans "a footing in the Monongahelacoun
try," which they regarded with a jiu!-
ous eye. But Gen. Forbes decided in
favor of the route, and thus -ecuml to
the settlers a wagon-road across the Ai
legiuuiies, a result which, of themselves,
they were unable to accomplish.
Previous to the burning <<f the "squat
ters'" cabins hy Secretary Peters, those
indoniitable pit tneors hat 1 <-recti-da grist-
JXA'L, on Yellow (beck, which was not
onlv the lirst mill erected within the

Indians, during the .1 evolutionary war,
but soon after was rebuilt.

Tliere are hearts that ache in every
house-hold; and the achingheart i.lin
gers for sympathy. The neglected ch. Id
that crosses our path, or whose litti"
pfncheii, weird face looks in at our door,
"for broken pieces the youth whom j
iiur world has fluttered a*l crushed; 1
the proud, ambitious man, whose hopes
have been wrecked, and who feels that
he has nothing for which to live; ohl
a;-e tottering on his stall'; the peerless
woman, and haunting' belle, all have
unutterable longings for sympathy.
"Kiss me. Hardy," said the dying;
Nelson. At that bitter hour, oven
the stern man of battle longed for some
visible expression of k induces, and 1< ive.
It is strange that, poor, weak, erring
creatures as we are, we have so little
sympathy for others. Too few of us
that iook upon the sorrows of others,
as He looked upon them who went a
bout relieving human misery, and who
spake to the downcast and miserable,
words of unequaled tendorw We
seem to forget that we are all members
of one family—that we are all subject
to like feelings; and that is as hard
for others to suffer as ic is for ourselves.
As we see the deformed, the beggar,
the feeble, and pinched by want, and
care, we seldom think how sadly we
should feel in their situation. We smile
easily at some flippant remark of our
next neighbor without thinking how
our crushed spirit would feel at a smile.
We let some trivial thing prevent us
from visiting the stranger, the sick and
the needy, never once thinking how we
should feci languishing in pain, with
out the soothing influence of friend or
acquaintance; passing the long, weary
hours, uncertain whence the sustenance
was to come to save us from perishing.
Yet who has made us to differ? lie
who has rendered our lives pleasant,
hits made others unfortunate, unci we
are unworthy of the blessings He has
bestowed u[K>n us, if we are unwilling
to imparl them to others. Our feelings
should be so susceptible to misfortune
that we cannot passively endure that
another should suffer. When Sir Phil
ip Sidney ';is dying on the battle-field,
an attendant brought him some water.
A wounded soldier looked wishfully at

"Bear it to him," said the noble man,
"his necessity is greater than mine."
Beautiful! the generous philanthropy
that filled his great soul. Not only

; York, gained an introduction to Presi
dent Johnson in order to present to his
Excellency the following petition, sent
to Prof. Achilie Magni by the Commit
tee in Milan. This gentleman, after
introducing ids honorable colleagues,
; then explained to the President theob
i ject of their interview:
3D. President —the public opinion in
Italy, such as it may be represented by
the former Ministers of the Govern
ment, B. Rietigoli and Minghetti, bv
the present Premier, General A. La
Marmora, by a number of Senators, by
one hundred and sixty-one Represent
atives, and by the most distinguished
men and . associations of that country,
. is in favor of supporting the humane
Idea of our great statesman, Centre Be
caria, i e.., to have capital punishment
abolished.
To this en -rprise toward progress
and Christian civilization, the Italians
have already gained the approbation
and support of the greatest and most
liberal-minded men in Europe, si eh as
Victor Hugo, Louis Blanc, Micßolet,
Jules I'avre, lloitsendortf, Alitternev
er, It. Cobticn, John Bright, and the
like. The Executive Committee es
tablished in Milan in order to carry iti-
to practice this idea, among other meas
ures, thought also of sending your Ex
cellency c, petition, signed hv hu nireds
of their distinguished citizens, 1 v Phi
losopher Tomageo, and by tumoral G.
Garibaldi, begging that in tin-, name of
humanity, without offending the sus
ceptibility of anybody, they ltikjiit no
permitted i oc&eeeii youtojoin Li their
views, ahd mainly in behalf of j< dor
son Davis. Here the President, with
an accent of surprise, interrupted the
speaker, .-ay it ar: "They plead for J of
fer-on Davis?" Yes, continued Prof.
M'lgni, they delegated us to present
\ ur Excellency their original petition,
and hope that by vouchsafing their sup
plication you would crown this glori
ous country with the laurel of peace,
give to all nations of the world an un
pnra Helled example of magnanimity
and wisdom, which will shine to ail fu
u 're generations and bring blessing up
on i'o forever. v

Pees'doit of the l\ .State# of America: >
A nation still far from that fullne.-s.of,
life and power to which she is entitled, !
nay. even under the necessity of appeal- !
ing to the universal brotherhood in or
der to overcome the last obstacles to her
revival, has in a -pecial dc gree the right :
of speaking in the name of humanity
without offending anybody's pride.— ■
Therefore, we hope that you, in receiv
ing our supplication, will forger that
we are citizens of a foreign nati on, and
will remember only that we are men
and your own brethren.
Thedeathof President Lincoln plung
ed us into mourning, but the ex<x-utiou
of I>avis would make us blush . We
cannot comprehend through wh at ne
cessity the justice of a great and victor
ious people coui'd imitate the vengeance
of an assassin detested even by you rv an
quished as ihfamous. "Weeannot u nd er
stand why the American Union -i.mttld
be !e>s sureeitlier of its greatness or /is
integrity, if to so much blood shed <lu r
ing the war this one drop more, co. dl.y
spilled in peace, should not be added.
Davis, from his scaffold, would say:
"Then 1 make you tremble."
Hat tling for freedom tind justice agaiz -t
the institutions and prejudices of old
Europe, we have up to the present stren
uously advocated that where freedom ,
reigns thence violence is banished; I
where the people arc sovereign there the
hangman is not their minister. To the
timid and incredulous we have until
how pointed out the example of your
States ; but ifacontrary example should
henceforth support him who founds or
deron terror, if that beneficial influence
which has fostered liberty in Europe,
/should 110 longer be shed from America, I
the fatal contagion of legal violence j
may perhaps begin to extend from Eu- j
tope to your '-bore-.
It has been said that republics aroj
more inexorable than tyrants, thai ty- j
rants may practice clemency from fear,
ambition ota suddon impulseof natural
goodness; that republics., on the con
trary, fear no censure, seek no applause
—are heartless. But we know that the
President of your Republic can feel for
every ohe, Abraham Lincoln would
net have dese-ved either sue!*, dogged
hatred from, the wicked, or such genuine,
earnest love and sorrow from t'ne good,
had he not gamed from the triuinphsof
war the sublime force to command par
don from the victors to tire conquered.
Now the attention of all, US well as our
pftiyer, Ddi reefed toward your Excel
lency, the heir of the task, and tiio vir
tues of your prodeeearior. While public
opi n ion i nEurope compels the monarch a
VOL. 61 -WHOLE No. 5.321. ,
! to mitigate tiie rigor of the laws by ex
j ercLsing 'their right of grace,' the friends
j of human progress are tremblingly a
i waiting your action, and hoping that
| the American people, at least in time
. of peace, will take the axe from the
| fasces of their lietors.
