Beaveß Valley, Dec. 18,1873.
. [PaperNo. It.] ‘:
In my former letter# 1 3 traced very
brie fly, the general history of the oeco
nancy of Western Pennsylvania by the
P Fre ncb and English to the year 1748.
ENGLISH AHD FRENCH BTV ALBYi
Tbe contest for the supremacy in these.
fjrefl t wilds had.now become s dciperate
earnest one between the two nattona.
L English had gained a strong foot*;
io ld in ibe Ohio and Allegheny ’regions'.
4 t this-period, and wereveryjealotis of
what they considered the encroachments
0 f the French on English! 1 territory.
Many were the plans laid to comateract
the influence of the French among the
savages and ultimately! to expel; jthenii
ir om the contested lands. An expedition
ffa s fitted out by the; English in Eastern
Pennsylvania to be sent to the Allegheny
river, under the leadership of Conrad
Weiser, an Indian interpreter, and a man
of strong natural ability and fine talents.
In company with him was George Crog
bac. a trader among the Indians, and who
had charge of some wares for distribution.
The object of the mission was “To use the
utmost diligence to acquire a perfect
knowledge of the number, situation, dis
position and strength of all the Indians
i 0 or near those parts, whether they be
friends, neutrals or enemies, and to be
very particular in knowing the temper]
and influence of the tiibe&of Indians who
sent deputies to receive him, for by the
knowledge of these matters, he was to reg*
ulate the distribution of the goods .which
was to be divided dmongst them.”
WEISEB'S EXPEDITION.
Weiser and comrades, arrived at Logs
town, August 36] 1748—a settlement sit
uated on the Ohio river about fourteen
miles above the mouth of the Beaver riv
er—and there stopped, making this their
headquarters for any future movements
.bat might be made. During their stay
here, a few of the more adventurous of
.be party, started on August 29, 1748, to
explore into the more remote regions of
•he Indian country. .
They went into Beaver Valley on the
same day, stopping at a large Indian town
earned Coscosky, situated about one
mile below the junction of the Shenango
and Mahoning creeks, or where the Bea
ver river is formed.
As far as can now be learned, this was
the first entrance of white mea into Bea
ver Valley, and was made on the part of
■the English.
Five years later, during the year 1753,
the French warned the tribes Of the Iro
quois, Delawares, Shawnee, Twigtwees
ani Wyandot Indians, that they were
coming to build forts at Venango, Monon
gialo Forts (Pittsburgh,) Logstown and
I Beaver Creek, for protection against the
' English. • ■
rat’se threaten ings of the French arous
ed rot only the suspicions, but also the
watchfulness of the English, who at once
took immediate steps to prevent the
movement, and prevent the
french frorn gaining such a strong hold in
this region.
FIRST APPEARANCE OP WASHINGTON.
The alarm became so great, and a crisis
seemed so imminent, that Robt. Dinwid
dle, Governor of Virginia, at once pre
pared a deputation to visit the scene of
contest. He appointed George Washing
ton, then a youth of twenty-two years of
age. to go with the party to the scene of
prospective conflict and ascertain the de
signs of the French.
Accordingly, be undertook his mission
on the 30lh day of October, 1753, and
came to Logstown, as the most available
point whence to make his inquiries and
observations.
In Colonel Washington’-s journal of this
expedition, we learn that while at Logs
lown, a party of his men penetrated Bea
rer Talleyrand in all probability he was
or at the mouth of the Valley himself.
The efforts of the two nations to gain
the ascendency on the waters of the Ohio,
the unavoidable conflicts between
outing parties sent out by each, were
Ee casse s in great part, which led to the
: &iuguration of the destructive war be
,WefcD them in 1755. This terrible war
“Vastated the entire country, and ren-
the combatants desperate in the ex
"eme - For three years the conflict raged
] lb tlie greatest fury, success rewarding
party pretty evenly, and no real ad
rantgge Saving been gained by either. At
]‘ ! juncture, each nation was anxious
*ia the confidence and support of
e Indians as allies in the pending war.
ENGLISH TACTICS.
•^ 8 a means of accomplishing this pur
!!*' English, on the 15th day of July,
> Se nt a Moravian by the name of
“nstian Frederic Post. Irom Philadel-
la 10 lhe Ohio, to make an effort to en
f sympathy of the Indians in behalf
toe English cause. He undertook ■ the
lss ion, a nd in the accomplishment of it,
visited the several points of import*
°n the upper Ohio, and among oth
! Passed through- Beaver Valley, and
'Opped at an Indian town of ninety
° Bes two hundred warriors of the
'. aware tr ‘be, named Ensbknshkee.
1 li WaB P r °babiy the same town visited
eiger in the year 1748, which he re*
Th'• aS Dame< * Coscosky. , ,
|s town was occupied as a frontier
7 the French in 1759, and was a
n °f considerable note and Importance
)n e the Indians and those who had oc*
to visit it.
1 fbe conclusion of this destructive
* and the almost entire expulsion of
the French fromtheseweslern lends, it
wm ardentljr-hoped that Jpeace would
now rewardthe efforts of the hardy pio
neers*, and , that they should henceforth
jenjoylhe* fruits of the fertile ▼alleys,
without disturbance from any hostile par*
ties, but they were -doomed to, the , most
bitter disappointment. It really seemed
as if ttie country were to* become a mighty
scene of conflict, when should. !be : tested
the prowess )f arms, for whoever might
desire to enter .the, list. .
THE INDIAN WAR. ...
The savages. having tasted blood, and
dangled before their deligbtedeyes the
scalps of tbe White man, agreeable to their
instincts, thirsted for blood end would
not accept tba terms of peace, but com?.
ihenced the murder of the whites, result*,
ing in a fierce and bloody war. The Eng
lish government immediately, prepared!
for the emergency, and fitted ont strong
expeditions for the .dispersion of the In*
dians, pne of which Operated to a limited
extent in the valley, of the Beaver. Col.
Boquet was ordered to Fort Pitt to fit out
ao expedition, and immediately began
preparing for a march into the Tuscaraw
as region. On the 8d of October, 1764, he
left Fort Pitt with a well-equipped army
of 1,500 men, in every way thoroughly
furnished for active duty and bard ser
vice.
On his way to the Tuscarawas valley,
he passed over the Beaver Valley on Oc
tober 6lh, crossing the river abont where
New Brighton now stands, of which it
was said by the Colonel in his report,
“Also stood about seventeen houses which
were deserted and destroyed by the In
dians after their defeat at Bushy Bun,”
&c. The valley was spoken of as being
very fertile and that in getting across it*
they had to cross a very steep ridge, which
would be the case if they crossed where.
New Brighton now stands, as seems to
have been the case.
He probably caused his troops to clam
ber up the steep hill on which are found
the “Alum Rocks.”
WASHINGTON IN THE VALLEY.
In the year 1770, George
was again in the valley, while on an ex
pedition down the Ohio river. In his
journal he makes special mention of Us fer
tility, attractiveness and beauty, and says,
“We came to the month of the Big Beaver
Creek, opposite to which is a good situa
tion for a house,” &c. The “good situa
tion for a house” is now covered by the
pretty little town of Phillipsbnrg, on the
opposite of the Ohio river.
Thus far, in this running hlsloryof the
valley, mention has only been made of
the different military expeditions sent out
-against the tribes of Indians, or the visits
of messengers and agents who touched the
valley in the course of fulfilling their
missions. Those already mentioned, were
the only white men who had tbps far set
foot in the valley and no steps had been
taken for settlement until during the year
1770. It bad been the con
tending armies for twenty-two years or
from .1748 to .1770, before any man dr
company dare set foot on. its soil as a
place of permanent settlement. So far as
settlement was concerned, the Indian was
the absolute “Monarch ot all he survey
ed,” and alone hunted over the hills and
through the valleys for a subsistence.
■ Beaver.
The Bedford Inquirer makes this notice
of a prolific woman residing In that coun
ty :
“A few days since a comparatively
young man, smooth faced and small, from
Londonderry township, called upon a
first class Bedford lawyer and asked the
question ; “Is there a law in this State
allowing a pension to parties having
twins?” “Not that I know of,” said the
lawyer. “Why? Why, said the client, I
have had twins seven times in seven years,
and I know they give n pension in Russia
for fulfilling the law, (bible) and I thought
the Keystone never went back on the
commandments.” The lawyer told him
the Keystone never went back on wbat
was right; and thought probably be might
find something In the statues that would
be in his favor, and that he should call at
another lime. The prolifique Mater, a
buxom brunette is about 39 years of age,,
and has in addition to the fourteen twins,
given 10 tingle births in seventeen years.
That she deserves a handsome pension
there is no question, and if our county
Commissioners are not inclined to “pony
up,”we call upon the Constitutional Con
vention and onr Congressman to look af
tar|her interests. We truly and honestly
believe she ought to have a premium or —a
divorce.
Survivors of the Mexican War.
An effort is about being made to secure
for the surviving soldiers of the Mexican
war a pension from the government. A
meeting is soon to be held in Pittsburgh,
for the purpose of preparing a form of pe
tition which will be placed in charge of
General Negley for presentation to Con
gress. But comparatively few of those
who served in the Mexican war are now
living, so that the list cannot be a long
one. Many of them entered the army at
the breaking out of the- rebellion, and a
number of the best officers in the service
were those who had - received their mili
tary training on Mexican soil. A. large
proportion of those who had served in
Mexico, and entered the Union army dar
ing the rebellion, fell in battle, or suc
cumbed to the ravages of diseased The
claims of the survivors are certainly en
titled to every; consideration at the hands
of Congress, and If the effort is made to
secure a pension for them, it will no doubt
be successful.
