A SETTLER’S EXPLOIT.
As: Samuel Bowditch, one of the early
settler’s on Grand river, in Kentucky,
was going across a patch of swamp, one
afternoon, about; half a mile from his
dwelling, to look after some cattle, he
heard a stick snap behind him, and turn
ing quickly round, found himself con
fronted with a huge savage, in all
hideousness of his war paint, and with
rifle or musket levelled at his head, the
muzzel not more than four feet from him.
Bowditch himself bad a rifle in his hand,
but he knew the Indian could shoot him
before he could raaie it and Are, and he
did not make the attempt, but immedi
ately dropped it to the ground and held
up his palms, in token of submission.
On seeing this,; the savage walked up
and said:
“ Give Injun gun!”
“ 1 see you’re a big chief, and 1 hope
we may be friends.” v
“ Where livet” asked the savage, as he
produced a stout thong of deer-skin, and
proceeded to bind the hands of his cap
tive, who, being a small man, saw he was
no "match for the other, even without
weapons on either side, and so submitted
quietly, though agonized at the thought ■
of his poor helpless wife and children in
their lonely cabin over the hill
“ 1 live out yonder not a great way ;
from here,” replied the captive, nodding
hisheftd'in the proper direction.” |
u Howmany got ?”■ "queried the savage, j
The settler hesitated about telling cor- i
rectly. He first thought he would name |
a number lpige enough to deter the In- j
dian from going thither, and thus, per-|
Imps, save bis wife and children from a 1
ALTOONA, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1863.
fate like his own, but after a 1 moment’s
reflection, it occurred to him that, should
the savage take him there, a chance
might arise for him to regain his liberty,
and he decided upon speaking the truth.
“ Why no Long-knife tell 1” demanded
the Indian, with an impatient frown.
“ No make lie!”
“ No, rflief; PH tell you the truth. —
There are only three persons in my cabin
—my wife and two children—but I know
a big brave chief like you won’t hurt
’em.”
“ Me go see ’em!” returned the savage,
with a fierce gleam of triumph which "the
other did not fail to notice.
Having tightly bound the hands of his
captive behind his back, the savage felt
about his dress for other weapons, took
away his ammunition and putting both
weapons over his shoulder, told the white
man to lead the way. This the latter
did, full of liope, fear and general anxiety,
till he came in sight of bis humble log
dwelling, situated in a pleasant valley,
through which flowed a ' pretty little
stream, a branch of the Green river,
when the Indian ordered him to stop, and
proposed to make him fast to a tree, by
meams of another deer-skin thong secured
to that around the wrists.
“ Ain’t you going to let me go down to
the house with you?” inquired the cap
tive, now begining to feel much alarm for
7 CO
the safety of his family.”
“Me go alone !” returned the savage
gruffly. “Me big chief—want -calpl”
“ Oh, for God’s sake, don’t kill my
poor, innocent wife and children 1” plead
ed Bowditeb, fairly agonized at the
thought. “ You arc a great chief, I
know, and you’ll remember that they never
did you any harm
“ Long-knife scalp much good !’’ re
joined the Indian sullenly, as he finished
binding the other to the tree, and strode
away down the hill, carrying the two
weapons with him. Bowditch watched
him, step after step, as he glided away
under cover of the trees, keeping some
rock, stum]), or clump of bushes between
him and the inmates of the dwelling, so
they might not by any chance perceive
his approach and take the alarm.
“At any rate I can holier yet!” mut
tered the captive, “ and maybe they’ll
hear me; and forthwith he set up a series
of yells, that went echoing and re-echoing
far away through the forest.
The settler saw his wife and children
come in haste to the door, and look up
the MU in alarm. At this time he shout-i
ed ht the top of his lungs.
“ Quick, Esther—go back into the
house and bar it up tight! The Injuns
are after you, and I’m a prisoner! Quick!
Quick 1 or you’re lost, and children
too!”
For a moment or two the’ mother and
childfed stood as if paralized with aston
ishment and terror, and then, to his great
relief, he saw his little boy point in the
direction of the skulking savage, and all
three retreated and closed the door.
The Indian now uttered a fierce yeU,
and stepped out into plain view, fired
both pieces one after the other, at the
dwelling, as it he had impulsively adopted
this means to vent his rage at being dis
covered and foiled of his murderous pur
pose. Then looking round at his captive,
he threvv duwn the rifle belonging to the
latter and drawing his tomahawk, started
toward him on a run. Bowditch, who
had watched every motion, and knew that
in his rage the savage would brain
and scalp him, now gathered all his
strength, and made one desperate effort to
free himself, acting rather from the in--
stincts of self-preservation titan from any
hope of success.
But to his great joy, his unspeakable
joy, he heard and felt his bands strain,
crack and snap, and suddenly found him
self free and his arms at Übefty. He
looked quickly and wildly around, almost
disposed to doubt his senses—to discredit
his misfortune —for any future seemed
good which give him even a bare chance
for his life where he expected only certain
death.; The Indian was at least a hun
dred arid fifty, yards from him, and his
rifle unloaded and with a start in a; race
for life—in a race that involved not only
his owe life but that of his wife and chil
dren—who so swift of foot as to overtake
hint ? ■
„ With a loud yell of mingled joy and
defiant, away he went over the hill' and
with a louder yell of rage at his unex
pected "escape, the fierce savage came
bounding after him. Bowditch knew every
inch of the ground in that vicinity, and
he had already regained sufficient presence
of mind to shape his course so as to tafrn
advantage of ail the chances in his favor.
The hill about the summit was a succes
sion of rocks and bushes,, with caves,
chasms and precipices, and over, through,
and along these natural obstructions the
fugitive believed he could make his way
with aiiy main living, either white or red,
and so took the most troublesome route
for his larger and more unwieldy pur
suer, resolved, should he by chance find
the latter gaining on him, to double on
him at a certain cave not more than half
a niile; distant, where he could enter, by
[INDEPENDENT IN EVERYTHING.!
following one of the labyrinthian pas
sages within, and could come out on the
same side into a thicket not more than
fifty feet from the main opening.
Ixioking back occasionally, as he fled
along his rooky way with the ease of a
mountain goat, Bowdilch soon discovered;
that however superior to him his adver
sary might be in mere physical strength,
he was no match for him in speed in that
particular locality : and this not only in
spired him with the hope of escape, but
with such confidence in his own resources,
that he began to calculate in turn how
best he might compass the destruction of
his foe.
Why not lure him into the cave,” he
muttered, “ and let him fool his time
round thar, whilst I start back after my
rifle, and follow up the audacious whelp?
I’ll do it, and if I don’t get even with
him, then it’s a clear case fortin’s against
me.”
Having come to this determination,
Bowditch slackened his chase till his pur
suer was in full, view, when be pretended
to stumble and fhll, and then got up and
ran with a limp, which caused the savage
to yell with a fierce delight and redouble
his exertions to overtake him. This
was exactly what he intended to bring
about, and he now managed his pace with
so much deception, that, though seeming
to exert lymself to the utmost, he per
mitted the panting savage to gain a little
every minute, till the mouth of the care
was reached, at which time not more
than a hundred paces divided them. The
Indian saw the fugitive disappear in
the dark opening, and believing tliat
he now had him secure once more, he
came bounding up and plunged in after
him with a yell of triumph. The settler,
who knew every twist and turn of every
passage in the cave—and there were many
—now uttered a sort of wailing groan
from the center, to urge the Indian on,
and then quietly slipped off in a different
direction, and reached the bright open
air about the samel time the other did the
middle of the interior.
“ Now then for it,” muttered Bowditch,
as he slipped over fhe brow of the hill and
ran toward his dwelling, which, owing to
the ridge bending round the valley, in the
shape of a magnet, or horse shoe, was
scarcely as far distant as when he called
to his wife.
His family saw him, and with a cry .of
joy his wife threw: open the door.
“ Quick, Esther!” he exclaimed, as he
came up panting; t’other powder-horn,
and some bullets—quick!”
“ Ain’t you coming in, Samuel ?” in
quired the wife in isurprise and alarm.
“Just long enough to get them things,
since you won’t!” he answered, as he
bounded in and hurried to a rude shelf
on one side of the room, “ I’ve sort o’
played the coward once to-day,” he added,
“ and now lam going to wipe it out. —
Shut the door, Esther, and keep yourself
and the children but of danger. I’ll be
back shortly. Good-bye !” and without
waiting for a reply, he ran out in the di
rection of Ms rifle, his wife vainly calling
for Mm, and entreating him to come back,
and not risk his life Foolishly.
As soon as he jpnee uore got hold of
his rifle, he hastened to load it, and felt,
as he afterwards expressed it,“ like 1 a new
man.” Then keeping himself as much
under cover as possible, he hurried up to
a point where he Could secrete himself and
command a fair view of the mouth of the
cave, within easy rifle range.
“If old Paint-face haint mizzled,” he:
muttered, with art ominous frown, “ it’s
my opinion he never will!” and like d
cat watching for game, he kept, his eyes
rivited upon the spot where he expected
to see Mm appear.
For ten minutes all was still—nothing!
moved —and then, to his bitter satisfac
tion, he beheld the Indian coming out
with a stealthy step, looking cautiously
and suspiciously around. The rifle of the
settler was already: leveled, and fdl a mo
ment or two he had sighted directly at
his heart, and then fired. The savage
threw up his hands jconvnlsively, uttered
a noise .between a groan and a yell, and
fell back quivering on the earth. Bow
ditch took time to reload, and then ap
proached him cautiously. He found him
quite dead.
How' Thet Escaped —The telegragh
furnished us the other day with reports,
brought by seven deserters who lately es
caped from Sullivan’p Island. A late let
ter says ;—These deserters reached Morris
Island under the following circumstances:
Several belonging to the garrison
of Fori; Moultrie, who had gone out yacht
ing, went ashore at some point in the bay,
leaving their yacht in change of these seven
soldiers, two of whom acted as guard. As
soon as the shore party were far enough
away to make the attempt practicable, the;
soldiers, guards and all, formed the plan
of making use of the opportunity afforded
there of placing themselves under the pro
tection of the Stars and Stripes? So the
sails were hoisted, the yacht swung off
from her moorings, and the adventurers,
reached the American camp in safety.—?
The ydbht is said to be a very fine craft;

AN INCIDENT IN THE TOUR OF GOV. CrRTIN.
The panorama of life, in times such as
these, is thrillingly varied, intensely en
thusiastic, wonderfully attractive and de
cidedly interesting. In thus Speaking, we
allude particularly to that class of public
men who occupy an exalted and proud po
sition in State or National affairs. Of
this class, Gov. Andrew G. Curtin has a
prominent place before the people of the
State—in fact, we may truly say the world.
In this present tour, an incident occurred
that caused a tear of sympathy to start in
the eye of, the Governor. He had ad
dressed a large meeting at Catassauqua,
in the mountain region. As the sun was
fast receding behind the mountain-top, and
casting a long shade in the valley, the
Governor took passage in the train bound
for more level regions. He arrived in
Philadelphia in due time, having been met
half-way by Cod. W. B; Mann, and by
him and two other warm admirers, was
conducted to the Continental, where he
sought repose. His nature was well nigh
exhausted. The want of sleep, the fatigue
of travel, the eventful scenes of his life,
the universal hand-shakings, the surround
ing crowds, the vivacity and vociferations
of the thronging multitude, all of which
he had so recently passed through, made it
necessary for retirement.
He was to start next day on some busi
ness relative to the defence and protection
of the State, in of another rebel raid,
which seemed to be projected.
About ten o’clock in the morning there
appeared in the vestibule of the Continent
al a well dressed young lady- She was
by herself. Her face betokened hard usage,
that had added to her appearance ten years
to her natural life. She attracted rather
more than ordinary attention of the throng
moving to and fro through the main aven
ue of that palatial building. She main
tained her silence, and appeard wrapped
in deep thought.
Presently Col. ffm. B, Mann came down
the large winding marble steps; a slight
tap on the shoulder caused him to stop. —•
The young woman stood before him, and
said: “Sir you are Wm. B. Mann, I be
lieve.”
“ I am, madam, what do you wish ?”
“I desire to see Governor Curtin.”
“Well, madam, he is verymijch enga
ged at present; is your business pressing—
is it of a public nature ?”
“ I desire to see him; I have come all
the way from Ohio- for the purpose. I
have been to Catassauqua, hut the train
was to late; I arrived in the city this
monring and must see him; he is the only
dear friend I have on earth.”.
Such an appeal was resistless. The
gallantry of Colonel Mann, as well as his
business, could brook no delay. He retir
ed for a moment, and presently ushered
the strange lady into the presence of the
Governor.
“Oh ? Governor, I am so glad to see
you,” said she, as she placed her left arm
upon his shoulder and imprinted a kiss
upon Ms manly forehead.
“Madam,” said he, quite overcome,
“to what am I indebted for this unexpec
ted. salutation?”
“Sir, do you not know me?”
Take a chair,” said the Governor, bland
ly, at the same time extending one of the
handsomest in the parlor.
Col. Mann and the few gentlemen pre
sent at once , became interested in the scene,
arid silently looked on.
“Shortly, after the battle*of Antietam
you were upon that bloody field,” said she
to the Governor.
“ I was,” replied the Governor, thought
fully, with a sigh, as the fearful scenes of
Carriage were thus unexpectedly brought
to his memory. ■
“ You administered to the wants of the
wounded and dying.”
“It was my duty, as a feeling man.”
“You did your duty well. Heaven
alone will reward yon, sir, for in this life'
there is no reward adequately expressive
of the merit due you. You, sir, imparted
consolation and revived the hopes of a dy
ing soldier of the 28th Ohio.; lie was bad
ly wounded in the ana ; you! lifted him
into an ambulance, arid, the blood dripping
from him, stained yopr hands and your
clothing. That soldier was as dear to me
as life itself.”
“ A husband?” said the Governor.
‘•No, sir.”
“ A brother, perbrps?” ?
“ No, sir.” , !
“A father?”
“ No, sir.”
“A son?”
“ No, sir.”
“ A lover ?”
“ No, sir.”
The little party around werb more inter
ested than ever. If not a husband, fath
er, brother, son, or lover, whu, then, could
it be?
“ My dear madam,” said tire Governor,
at length breaking the silence, “ this is an
enigma to me. Please explain more about
the gallant soldier of Ohio;”
.“ Well, sir, that soldier gave you a ring
—C. Ei. D. were the letters engraved on
the interior. That is the ritig now upon
EDITORS AND
your little finger. He told you to iKjMf.it>
and carefully have you done sot**
The Governor poHed tha-Ting 3
sure enough the letters weretheae.
“The finger that used to wear that ring
will never wear it any more. The' hand
is dead, but the soldier still fives, thanks"'
to your kind attention on that bloody
field.”
The whole scene was yet a problem,
that even the sagacity of Colonel Mann
could not solve. *
The Governor was now more interested
than ever. “ Well, madame,” said be,
“ tell me all about it la this ring yours ?
Was it given to you by a soldier whom
you loved?” !
“ I loved him as I loved my life; but
he never .returned that love ; he had more
love for his country than for me; Xihonor
him for it. That soldier who placed that
little ring upon your firager stands before
you.” So saying, the strange lady arpse
from her chair, and stood before the
Governor.”
The scene that how ensued we leave to
the imagination of the reader. A happy
liour passed, The girl who had tbps in
troduced herself was Catharine E, David
son, of Sheffield, Ohio. Shd*wasengagod
to be married, but her future husband re
sponded to the call of the President, and
she followed him by joining another regi
ment. He was killed in the same battle
where she fell wounded. She is alone in
the world, her father and mother having
departed this life years ago. She was the
soldier of the 28th Ohio who had placed
the ring upon the finger of Governor Cur
lin, for the kind attention gived her upon
the bloody field of Atitietam.
The right arm had been amputated
about half way between the elbow and
shoulder. The interview finally ended,,
and having at last seen her benefactor,
she bade him and his friends adieu, taking
with her an order, bearing the bold 'signa
ture of A. G. Curtin, for one of Palmer's
patent arms. ■ ~
We had an interview with the heroine.
She was modest, although she had led the
life of a “ bold soldier boy.” She was
loud in her praise of Gov. Curtin, is
firm in the belief that through his I hard
working energy, he saved the lives of ten
thousand soldiers, many of whom still live
to bless his name as one of the “few im
mortal, not bom to die.”— PJdla. J^ress.
