Centennial Anniversary of the ltattlo nnd

Ah toon ns the train stopped the l'resident
made his uppenr.tucu upon the rear platform,
and after three cheers hud hern given ho
made a brief address, in which he i ( furred to
tho celebration of the day, and expressed
tlio hope that all tho diil'erences in politics
and religion would be lost sight of, and that
the celebration would tend to eemeut more
strongly the bonds which should unite the
whole country in more fraternal relations.
The President then introduced Attorney-
General Devens and Secretary Sherman,
both of .whom made brief and appropriate
addresses.
When the train arrived at the Wyoming
Station tho Scranton City Uattallion, com
manded by Mnjor liores nnd the McClelland
KiHes, Captain Ginley were drawn tip in
in line. As the President stepped upon tho
platform he was warmly welcomed by Col.
lloyt, the ltepublican candidate for Govern
or, and after a brief reply by President
ilnycs, the partytvfro conducted to rarria
ges and conveyed to the residence of Hon.
Payne Pettibono for lunch.
The roads leading from the station to the
spot near Forty Fort, selected for the cere
monies of the day, were overrun with an
iminenne throng of persons, all hastening to
the mammoth tent, erected in tho open field
near the monument, lo cheapo from the sun's
hot rays, as well as to witness tlio ceremonies,
and beloro the President and party were
ready to leave their lunch every seat in the
tent was occupied and thousands standing
around. The heat was intolerable under
tho canvass, but still ninny hi aved tlio tur
rid atmosphere until the conclusion of tho
ceremonies. Others visited the spot
upon which tho old tort onco stood : and
hero they found a new one hud betn con
Btructcd. "It is of pine trees cut ill lengths
and sharpened to a point at the top, there
being threo tiers of posts to the front, and
reaching twelve feet high, as hUtory says tho
old fort was."
Tho dimensions of the old fort wore !
feet from corner to corner, by 214 in lenglh
It was built of logs sunk live feet iu tho
ground, and rising twelve feet above the Mir
face and slinrpenep at the top, with a ,;ale
wy iu tho centre of each end large uuougl
to admit nf a yoke of oxen through. There
was a (entry box on ench corner and two on
each side. The preterit fort is ns nearly a
fao simile of the old fort as possible, but is
only 172 feet iu length. Tho reason why it
was shortened was to show tho lino ot
burned earth at the lower end, so as to coti
vince tho skeptical that the builders were
correct in designating this as the site,
Tho streets nil along tho village of Wyo
mine up to the monument and the Fort were
profuely decorated with evergreens and
Hags, while arches were thrown across tli
streets. I.argo numbers of booths with re
freshments were to be found all over th
ground and among the visitors were a party
of Indians dressed In full coitume. who
played a game of polo during the afternoon.
rVmong tho descendants of the survivors of
the massacre, on tho stand, were tlioso of
Col. Zebulon Ilutler, and Mr. Win. II. Cas
tle, of Philadelphia, son of Joseph Castle,
I), i). J to was tlio only representative from
Philadelphia,
As early as 8 o'clock tho monster tent un
der the shadow of the monument erected iu
honor of the heroes who were so mercilessly
massacred by the Indians and Tory Hritlsh,
one hundred years ago, was filled. The cer
emonials were advertised to commence ut U
o'clock, but owing to the unavoidable ab
sence of the chairman, Colonel Charles Dor-
ranee, tho ceremonials did not begin until
tU6. Judge Dana filled tho President's
chair, nnd announced that tho celebration
would lie opened with prayer by the Itev.
D.J. Waller, principal of the liloomsburg
State Normal School.
An original ode to music, composed by
Mrs. Waters, was sung by a choir of COO vol
ces, led by Prof. Durinan.
The audleuce appreciated thomuslc.whlch
was certainly well rendered, and applauded
it warmly.
An original poem composed by Mrs. Hich
ard was recited by Miss Kssie Hopkins, of
Iiradford, Pa. The lady is an excellent elo
cutionist, and did her best to make herself
stage, and much enthusiasm was manifested.

It gpve him great pleasure to introduce to tho
audience tho President of tho United States.
"I might say," continued Mr, Jenkins, "a

The President in reply said :

which have led to so many disasters iu this

Deal with the Indians fairly. Applause.
Do unto them as you would have them do

retired amid great applause.
Mr. Steuben Jenkins then presented him,
on behalf of tho ladies of the Wyoming
alley, with a cane, made from buckwood.
The President received the gilt and inti
mated that no doubt thero were many in the
audience who envied him in receiving h

cal address was delivered by Steuben Jenk-
eu's, E-q. The following is an abstract of
Ml!. JllNKIN'rt AI)l)Ki:.SS.
There is no event of equal magnitude that
occupies m Iart;o and conspicious a placo ;
none that has made the scene of its enact
ment so celeurateil in history ami song, as
has that of the I'.ittle of Wyoming, with its
attendant mas-acreo and conflagration; none
that lias so largely called forth the execra
lion ot mankind against the ono side, and
the feelings of compassion and sympathy
for the other.
We are met lo-day to recount the scenes
enacted hero un the ground just one hun
ilreil veins ago, and to commemorate tho
valor ami patriotism of that little baud ol
heroes who went forth to slay tlio march ot
tho ruthlfrH invaders of their soil and have
their l.unilies, their homes, their flocks and
their harvests fiom havoc am destruction
They were not soldiers, trained and inured
to martial service, well armed and equipped
for tho fray. They had no great command
cr with an army of veterans, going forthcou
querlug and to conquer; to sate his mad
u iibitinii or wreak iiis vengeauco upon an
lunoceni, uniillfiiiiing people. 1 hero was
no ono among them who possessed an ahso
Into command. They were principally old
men and boys unlit for the active and ardu
mm duties of the field ; who, from inellicieu
cy hail remaineii at home, while tlio young
men, better filled for those activo and ardu
ous duties, were serving iu tho distant rank
of our country's defenders,
It was no wnr of ambition, of plunder, or
of revenge on their part ; it was to sav
theiii-elves and their families froth butchery
their homes from the torch of the incendia
ry,their flocks ami herds from beingslaught
ered or driven oil, their harvests from being
destroyed and their liberty from being over
thrown.
After referring to tho sparsely sctlled
country at that tini'j and the habits of th
people ol the Wyoming Valley 101 years
ago, lie said that In 1U20 Charles I., of Kng
laud, granted lo the Duke of Lenox, th
Karl of Warwick, and others, under the
name of "'1 he Council of Plymouth," "all
that part of America lying ami being i
breadth from forty degrees of north latitud
lo tne loiiy-elghtn, inclusively, anil lu
brcadtli throughout the main lands from sen
to sea,"
Robert, Ivirl of Warwick, iu 1030 obtain
ed from the "Council at Plymouth," and the
next year, lti31, having obtained roiiflrmn
tion of his tille by royal patent from Chnrles
I,, conveyed lo Lord Suy and Seal, Lord
llrook, nnd others, "AH that part of New
Kngland, in America, between the fortieth
and forty-third degree of north latilude,frnui
Narragaiitctt river on the east, to the South
sea on the ut, throughout the main
lauds.
This grant was confirmed ly royal patent
from Charles II., on tlio !0th of April, 1GG2,
from Narragunset bay on the east to the
South sea ou the west, The Pacific ocean
nt that tlmo wus known as the South sea,
Wyoming lies within these bounds.
On the -1th of March, lGSl.Chuiles II, by
royal charter, granted to William Penn,
as Proprietary nnd Governor, the territory
embraced iu the present State of Pennsyl
vania, which covered two degrees of latitudo
of the same territory previously granted by
him to tho proprietors of tlio New Kngland
grant. Tho New Kngland settlers claimed
Wyoming under tho grant of 1(102 ; the
Pennamites claimed it under tho grant of
1081, from tin same king, This wns the
ground of controversy, nnd out of this con
troversy, anil from tho efforts made on both
sides to ellect a settlement nf tho disputed
territory, each side to tlio exclusion of the
other, the strugglo between tho claimants
arose.
The orator then referred lo tho action of
the town of Westmoreland, nnd of the adop
tion at a town meeting, held August Stli,
17 io, of tho following:
Voted, That this town has but of late
been incorporated and invested with the
privileges of the law, both civil and military
and now in a capacity of acting iu conjunc
tion with our neighboring towns, within
this ami the other colonies, in opposing ye
late measures adopted by Parliament to en
slave America; also, this town having taken
into consideration the late plan adorned by
I'arliameut or enforcing their several op
pressive and unconstitutional acts of depri-
'ing us of our property, and of binding us
n all cases, without exception, whether we
consent or not, is considered by us highly
injurious to American or Kngllsh freedom ;
therefore, we do consent to and ncquiesce in
the late proceedings and advice of the Con
tinental Congress, and do rejoice that thoso
measures aro adopted and so universally re
ceived throughout tho continent, and, in
conformity with the eleventh nrticlo of the
association, wo do now appoint a committee
to attentively observo the conduct of all per
sons within this town touching tlie rules and
regulations prescribed by the honorable
Continental Congress, and will unanimously
join our brethern in America in tlie com
mon caitso of defending our liberty.
The speaker then referred to the move
ment at this time lo expel the Connecticut
settlers from W yoming, and said that at a
town meeting, held March 10lll,!770, it was
oted "that the first man that shall make
fifty weight of good saltpetre, in this town,
hall be entitled to a bounty of ten pounds
awful money, to bo paid out of the town
treasury.
Mrs, lietliiah Jenkins, wife of Lieutenaut
John Jenkins, says the women took up their
oors, dugout the earth, put it iu casks, nnd
ran water through it, as ishes are leached.
hey then took ashes, iu another cask, and
made ley, mixed the water from the earth
with the ley, boiled it, set it out to cool, and
the saltpetre roso to the surface. Charcoal
and sulphur were then pounded and mixed
with the saltpetre, and powder was thus pro
duced for the public defence.
At the first news of the conflict at Concord
and Lexington, many of the young men o
Wyoming hastened to join the Colonial for
ces, near lioston, to resist tlio encroachments
of the UritMi Government and maintain
their liberties, and some of them arrived in
time to take part and fall in tlie battle of
Hunker Hill.
rVugust 21th, 1770, it was deemed necess
ary to erect suitable forts for defence, and a
tockade was erected around tho house of
John Jenkins, which was called "Jenkins'
'ort." This was in Kxeler township, now
West Pittston, about ten or twelve rod
above the northwest end ol the 1'ittston rer.
ry bridge.
I'.lisha Senvell and somo oilier inhabitants
of Ki ter township, joined with tho Win
ermoots, the Van Al-tynes, and other:
from Montague town-hip, Sussex county.
New Jersey, in building a fort a mile
more below, on the blow of the plain, where
a fino spring flowed from the foot of the hill
forming the plain, which was named "Win
termoot Fort."
Tlie inhabitants of Kingston erected a fort
an acre or more in extent, on I lie west bank
of the Suquehnniia, in that township,
the town plot, near the centro ol tho town
which was named "horty l ort, from tin
fact that the township wns originally settled
by forty proprietors and divided equally
amongst them.
Upper Wilkesbjrre had its fort just abov
the mouth of Mill creek, built to guard and
control the mills erected on that strean;
called "Wilkesbarre Fort."
Thern was a fort in tlio town plot of
Wilkesbarre, situated on the river bank just
below South ftrect, called "Wyoming
Fott."
The inhabitants of Hadover erected n
block house on the bank ol the river, fome
three miles below Wilkeslurre.ralleil "Stew

He-ides these was the stoekadoat Pittstnn
on the east side nf tho river, nearly opposite
Jenkins Fort.
Thoor.ttor,afler referring to tho part taken
by the two companies raied in Wyoming,
in tho battle of Millstone, said that in tho
fall of 1777, many of the i-ettlers on the riv
er abovo Wyoming began to give evidence
of their sympathy witli the llritish Crown ;
a number of Mispected persons wero arrested,
and ll.e year 177S brought great distrust nnd
tear to the frontiers generally, but purlieu
larly to Wyoming, Tho defeat and turreti
der of Hurgoyne at Saratoga had left the
llritish without siillicient available force in
America to carry on a regular campaign for
that year, and, as the war was to bo continu
td, the only resource left to tho llritish Gov
eminent and her commanders was to employ
the Indians and Turks almost exclusively,
in carrying on a war of desolation ou the
frontier. This was their declared policy.und
it was at once suspected and that Wyoming
would be among the first lo he attacked, for
none wero so haled and exposed as the peo
pie ou the Sutquclinnna, They had been
among the first lo declare against llritish
usurpations, mid hud been tlie mostuctiie
and earnest iu supplying men and meaus to
support that deelaralion.
Afler referring to the rumors of Indian
depredations, the battle of Cobleskill on the
1st of June, and also to the fact that Giiciu
gerachtnn, who commanded a body of In
dians, overrun tbo whole line of the lower
west branch of tho SuMpiehanna until the
llllh of June, mid ou this day it is staled
that the savages glutted themselves with
murder and plunder, and retired iu triumph
A gloomy pall seemed to havo fallen over
tho infant settlement.and weeping and wail
ing were heard on every hand. Children
were murdered beforo their parents' eyes
husbands wero compelled to witness the hoi
rid death of their wives, and in turn, chll
dren were compelled to gaze upon th
maugled bodies of their parents. Neither
age, sex, nor condition were spared ; the
walls ot the helpless lufauts, the Imploring
cries of defenceless women, failed to awaken
a chord of pity in the adamantine bosom of
the tawny savage, lie laughed their pitiful
appeals lo scorn, and with a fiendish grin
of pleasure plyed the knife and toro the reck
ing scalps from their heads.
Tlie speaker then referred lo the killing of
ol citizens by the Indians, and of tho efforts
ol the settlers on the 2d of July to gather a
sufficient forco to protect themselves at For
ly Fort nnd other forts, but, ou the 3d of
July, 177M, the position of affairs was as fol
lows :
The upper part of the valley, on the west
side of tho river, was in the bands of tho
enemy, numbering 1100 men, well armed
and equipped, thirsting for conquest nnd
blood.
So complete and effective wns their pos'
session, that no person ban been able to pass
their lines to give information of their
numbers, position or purpose,
Jenkins' Fort, on tho Suquehanna,just
above the west end of the Piltslon Ferry
bridge, was in their possession, having ca
pitulated the day before, but possession had
not been taken until this morning.
Wintermoot Fort, situate on tho bank of
the plain, about a mile and a half below and
about half a mile from the river, had been
in their possession nil tho day before, and
was used as their headquarters.
1-orly tort, some four miles further down
the river, situate ou the west bank of the
Susquehanna river, was the largest aud
strongest fort in the Valley, Thither had
fled all the people on the west side ot the
river, on the 1st and 2d, and this was to be
the gathering point of the patriotic band
Wilkesbarre and Pitlston Forts wero
tlie gathering points for the people in their
immediate neighborhood.
The forces, such as they were, were dis
tributed throughout the Valley somewhat as
follows :
The Kingston company, commanded by
Capt. Aboliab I'uck, numbering about forty
men, was at Furty Fort.
Tho Shawnee company, cmimand. d In
Capt. Asaph Whittlesey, numbering about
forty-four men, was at Foity Fort.
Hie Hanover company, eomiunndi-il l.j
Capt. Win. McKarrachen, numbering' about
thirty, wa- at home in llanoier.
Tho upper Wilkesbarre company, cum
mauded by Captain Kiv.iu Geer, uumberiug
about thirty men, was at Wilkesbarre.
The lower Wilkesbarre company, com
manded by Capt. James Bidlack, Jr., num
bering about thirty-tight men.was at Wilkes
barre.
Ihe 1'ittston company, commanded 'by
Captain Jeremiah Hlanchard, numbering
about forty men, was at Pittstou Fort.
The Huntington nnd Salem company,
commanded by Captain John Franklin,
numbering about thirty-five men, was at
home.
These were the militia, or train bands, of
the settlement, aud included all who were
able to bear arms, without regard to age,
Old men and boys were enrolled in them.
Ihen theie was Captain Detrick Hewitt's
company, formed and kept together under
tho resolution of Congress, to which refer
ence lias already been made.
Besides these, there were a number who
were not enrolled in any of the companies,
numbering about ono hundred ; and in ad
dition, there were a number in the valley
who had been driven from tho settlements
up the river, making, altogether in the val
ley, a force of men of all ages and boys,
numbering about four hundred.
The speaker, after reciting the difficulties
under which the men in tho forts labored,
their attempt to obtain reinforcements said
that on the 3d of July, Major John Ilutler
demanded the surrender of Forty Fort. The
demand was refused by Colonel Denison,
who asked for time, and in the meantime
messengers were sent out for reinforcements,
la the meantime some of the men became
mutinous, but at last it was decided to leavo
tho fort aud meet the enemy, aud after the
settlers bad formed their line of battle, they
marched in single Hue us formed, nearly a
mile, and to within forty or fifty rods of the
fort, their right still restiug on the hill aud
their left extending about 1000 feet toward
