TALE OP THE FRONTIER. Wi' In the spring of 1794, while Gen. Wayne, in if? Command of the northwestern army, occupying gc'fWt Grenville, tfhitfh be had constructed the ftt -preceding winter, the news was brought to him. I\ -' that a party of. Poltawattamics had surprised land destroyed the block-house of a small settle ment not far distant, and mpssacred all the inmates except a girl, whom they had taken prisoner, and were then supposed to he con : dneting tier to their village. . This female, Miss i.-lpEgglcston, was the daughter of an officer of ;-;?-,Bome note, who was.a friend of Gen. Wayne, ky and he determined to save her if it was in his H-; power. At this lime he had some one or two little bands of heroic; stfools attached to his fedivision, and he knew if a rescue could be ef p|.fected at all, the men to entrust with that im m' I )or tant enterprise could be found among them ftf' and them only. Now it so happened that a small party of . these scoots was at that moment in the fort, having come in the night previous with impor tant information, and were preparing to set oft , immediately. Sending for one of the most da . 'ring of these, Robert McClellan, by name,who, ' - though not their regular leader, sometimes act ' ed in that capacity when his commander was . absent, the General briefly. informed him of 1, what had taken place, and asked him if he thought there was any hope of Miss Eggleston HV EMEHSOX BENNET. f ,' being rescued. ! “I can’t say as to that, Gineral,” replied the ij’i scout, “but this I will say, that if it kin be fl done, I kin do if.” | ; “How rnanymcndo you want?” asked St Wayne. Sijt; “How big is the party, Gineral ?" inquired the other. /y “From the report; I sliould judge there were; Sv" thirty of them.” > • .. “Then it won’t do for ns to make a regular. ; Stand up fight on’t, Gineral, unless we have the captain and all others along;. and as they be'in afore to-morrow, ef then, I rccken %jlts best to operate/by circumnavigation, and ;;|||jie two that’s here with me—Hickman an Hart be jest as good for that there as a dozen r; Juporot ■ Only, put me where I kin git on their ;ii|ftrail| and ef the red niggers arn’t 100 far ahead. I’ll soon fetch a good report of them, ef I don’t f the young woman.” ... ‘But you must bring a good account of Her,’ cspdndcd Wayne, in a positive tone. “Tt is to sijraroavc her that I send you ; for she is a daughter »lffibf my friend, and her.life and rescue are above |||price.” ' , ' “Then, wo will save her,'Gineral,” replied scout; “that is, ef the butchering varmints .

VOL. 4 5. reached Ute ruins of the blech house Where the massacre had taken place, just ns the sun was setting. There was light chough, to find the broad trail of the retreating Indians; and with no unnecessary delay, they set out upon it.nnd advanced some two or three ..miles further, when the gathering darkness compelled them to encamp, and to postpone further operations until morning. . The night passed off without disturbance; and at dawn of day they arose and resumed their journey. Ere the sun had set, they travelled far upon the trail of .their foes m a northerly direction. ■ ■■/ ~ . . It is not our purpose lo follow them in the detail. Suffice it to say that near the close of the second day, they had reached a point be yond which the trail forked, and it became nec essary to make a careful examination, in order to determine which party had taken the priso ner with them. To the best of their judgment the whole number of Indians was not less than than thirty ; but they were not equally divided at the point of separation, as was evident from one trail being larger than the other. They soon satisfied themselves that the girl had been taken with the smaller party, and this was a pleasing discovery, as it gave them a hope of being successful in her rescue. This decided, they pushed on rapidly till night, and then encamped; and at the close of-the third day, just as tho night was setting in, theyuiame within sight of tho camp fires of thefUfoes. Wailing two or three hours, until the darkness favored them, they carefully pro-, ceedcd to reconnoitre the Indian camp, which was in. a pleasant, heavily wooded valley, thrbugh which flowed a tributary of the Wa bash. Advancing stealthily under cover of the bushes, they beheld six Indians carelessly dis posed around the fire ; three of them apparent ly asleep, and the others conversing in very low tones, but occasionally laughing, and totally, unsuspicious' of danger. A little* apart, and bound,to a tree, was.a captive—a young and beautiful wSman—whose now pale and deject ed features spoke the despair of her heart, and combined with her disheveled hair and torn garments, rendered her an object of pity even to men hardened to alinostjtvery sense ofsuller ing and distress. Having fully ascertained the number and-po sition of the enemy, and tho fact that the priso ner they had come to rescue was still alive, the scouts drew back to a sale distance and held a whispered consultation As to the maimer of. tlieir future procedure. ‘T don’t exactly like cither of your plans,” said McClellan, who had quietly listened lb'the propositions of the other.- “It’s our business to get the gal away—that’s the Gincral’s or ders ; ■and the way We can do that best-ja this way. Nowjnstead of tryin’ to stallthargunp. one of you must creep up and out the gal’s cords, and start her oft towards us as /easjyas you kin; but if thcrc’s.an alarm, tell her to* break for the nearest thicket, and we’ll glaiwl between her and harm. I don’t think there’ll he any trouble about us coming out all, right, for we’vo.fought bigger odds afore to-day, with out the ’vaulage-of surprise! and vtjO-’ve licked; ’em too?" *■ * ... ■ ;- . After some dFscussiou the plan of McClellan was adopted as the best, and Hart was selected to enter the camp and release the girl—the oth ers to pour in. their fire in.caae of alarm, which lyouid bo likely to throw the Indians into con fusion and give our friends so much the advan tage—while the girl would bo almost certain to escape, Which was what they now sought,rath er than the lives of the savages. Having thus arranged the matter, they kept perfectly, quiet and silent for sometwo or three hours longer, and then began the execution of their scheme., (.The fire, which the Indians-had fed while astir, had now gone to mere embers, but this only the better served McClelland's idea, as it would render Hart less liable to be seen on his approach to the prisoner. Some quarter of an hour more was spent in arranging everything for perfect action, and getting into position, which they usually did in that stealthy and quiet manner peculiar to men of their profession; Thert leaving his two companions where there lire would be sure to he effective, Hart as cautiously. and stealthily drew back, and glided round to the captive. , He reached her without causing any alarm, but .found her fast asleep, sitting on the ground,her back braced against the tree to which she was bound.- To awake and warn her v and assure iher that her.deliverance was at hand, without causing her to start and cry out and so arouse her captors, was a delicate task. He began, however, by whispering in her ear,’ and so con tinued, till She gradually awoke, and heard 'and comprehended his words, when her rare presence of 1 mind caino to his aid, and- he was greatly rejoiced 1 at, her reply— i “I understand you —T thank you—God bless you, whoever you are 1 Have no fear, I will do as you bid roe.” . - . “Then come as soon as I cut yofif cords,” ■whispered Hart, in reply, “git up and follow :tne. but don’t make a lit of noise ;, and if the Injuns happen to rouse, don't git skeered, but run for the nearest thicket, and leave roe and my comrades to setile them.” He then cut her bonds, and_ quietly, but with- trembling eagerness, she arose to comply with his directions: but the very first step for ward, her long corded and benumbed limbs partially giving way under her. she stumbled on a dry branch, which snapped beneath her feet. Instantly oi* of the Indians nearest the tree, started up into a sitting posture, when Hart, feeling himself called upon to act, suddenly presented the rifle at the breast of - his foe, and: lodged the contents in bis body. As he fell back, the scout with a yell of triumph' and. de fiance, bounded over him to attack thenext.lhe whole party being aroused and alarmed. Snap ping his pistol at the breast of the second, and finding it to miss fire, Hart struck out with a tomahawk, but stumbled at the same moment, and missing the warrior, who was in the act of rising, fell heavily against him. The latter staggered, and, was reafly much alarmed and confused ; .but comprehending, withal, that he had an enemy within his reach, ho quickly grappled him, whipped but his knife and plung ed it several times into his body. Ho was in the vefy'kct Of doing this, in'fact, when a ball from the rifle of McClellan entered his brain, and he fell dead over the expiring form of Hart ,—Hickman at the same instant shooting down another —for, with loud and terrifying yells; both had rushed upon them at the same moment with their unfortunate companion. There were now three unwounded Indians to two whites, and had the former known of their advantage, the day might have been their own; but they were surprised, alarmed and half par alyzed with thought that they were attacked by overwhelming numbers! and before they had done they had lime to recover their senses the smaller weapons of our heroes had done their work upon two more of them, the sixth one making his escape with a yell of terror. The skirmish, from first to last, scarcely ex ceeded a minute ; and probably no regular bat tle in the world showed such a proportion of the killed to the number engaged in so short a lime. . fy'lv !

The girl, who had not fled far, now returned and joined them in their grief, for she felt that the poor follow had fallen in her rescue and de fence. ■ An hour later, the dying man expiring in the arms of McClellan, rousing a little at the very last moment, and speaking a few words faintly; - “Good Bye, boys,” said he, ‘‘and remember mo whenever and wherever you see the red nig gers.’* “We’ll do that, Hart, rest assured,” rcpl'cd McClellan, in an unsteady tone,; arid over Ins remains the two hardy scouts swore undying' revenge against their savage foes. Drawing the fair girl apart from the bloody scene, and assuring her that they were ns ready to yield their lives in her defense ns the one who had fallen, they gave a-blanket, and persuaded her to lie down and get what rest she could! that she might be-prepared for a long journey homeward, which they would commence on the morrow. Then' scalping their slain, taking whatever they considered of any value, they sat down by their dead comrade, and passed, the night beside him. rehearsing tales of adven ture, in which he had taken part, and renewed their oaths of vengeance against the whole In dian race. At daylight the following riiorning, they dug a rude grave with their hatchets and knives, and having shojVn their final respect to their late companion,* by interring Iris remains as well as circumstances would-permit, they set out on their return .to the fort, which they eventually reached in safety, arid where they delivered their rescued captive into the hands of General Wayne. ' It may interest the reader to know that this same young lady, so providentially preserved at the general massacre of her friends and so gallantly rescued at the expense of the life of one of those brave heroes of tho wilderness— subsequently became the wife ,of an officer un der Wayne, and the mother of one who .now holds a distinguished position in the councils of the nation. Aaron Burr. Randall, in his life of Jefferson, thus .de scribes Burr: , , , “Burr possessed much cunning and much penetration of a particular kind; but, like most wholly unprincipled men, ho overrated the power of evil, die believed every man and woman had their easy price. Ho therefore re lied on personal appliances, and petty intrigue and finessing, ro attain objects wholly beyond the reach of slich means. Ho baited mouse traps, expecting to catch elephants in them.— His life-long history’.is ah exemplification of of this trait of mind, and it is a life-long rolLof failures. In every great crisis of his career we find him with intense conning in his look, and mystery in his rapid movements, setting his little traps. But he.was always just wise enough to bo out goneralled when ho came in contact with a wise man; ho was always just artful, enough to .beat himself.

There was a fascina tion in it which blinded his judgment. Ho was ready to embark in it, and was san'gfdn'o of sue-; cess, where a man-of less astuteness but without bis taste for plotting, would have foreseen the certainty of defeat; it takes another' trait to complete the ebaruefer of a rash and ready con spirator. Ho was proverbially insensible to danger. Ho Was Willing to risk his life to carry out the most paltry amour. Ho was willing to risk it a thousand times in any desperate effort for fortune and power, rather than glide along smoothly in the current ot a common success. When we consider ids peculiar character, and weigii testimony adduced at hia subsequent trial, which was not impeached, or even ren dered the subject of a just suspicion, little doubt seems to remain .that ho contemplated k dis memberment of the'Union - as a direct result of Ids enterprise, or rather as a contingent, result, which was to' follow, If success crowned the first branch of the undertaking.

Those who are termed “simble-mindcd peo ple,” adopt a curiously innocent mode of ex pression occasionally, which comes so near art, at times, as to render its simplicity doubtful.

Thus, if wo count less thayarally grew, say thirty stalkS from each grain'qr’ .seed; and sev enty-two the fewest number ofgrniris found in any one bead, we get at the rate of over two thousand fold! and from that to three thousand two hundred, counting the .highest yield.— From the year 1845' to 1859, the average of wheat fit this arid parts of the adjoining coun tied, according to' my. record,' was less than twenty bushels to the acre, the very best being thirty three bushels. Indian corn sown broad cast, at the rale of from one to two bushels, will yield d larger arcragO, bht \Vlfpn planted in our usual Way produces from thirty to one hundred bushels pit afire: My object in writing Ibid is to bring the facts to ilie ti'otico of agriculturalists, and to in duce as many as possible to try the experiment on as much land as they aro wilting to experi ment with.. I hope those wishing to test the matter will get the wheat in before thb last Of August.- I lay off. the ground two feet each way, and put four grains to each bill, and keep clean tiff next harvest. It must be put in ear ly—no matter how soon after harvest. This will give thirty stalks to the square foot, pnd 104,089,600 grains to the acre; which, allbW ing 898,560 grains lo the bushel, gives nearly one hundred and sixteen bushels to tho acre.— This estimate is a correct one', based upon ac tual facts, and, although it looks like a wild calculation, Will, I think, prove so nearly cor rect as to help to reform our present slovenly and extravagant mode of wheat culture. The quantity of seed requited to plant an acre is on ly, a trifle over live pounds, if put in as above described. Where my wheat stood'in rows, three feet apart, when' ripe tlib htads appeared nearly as thick together ad in a fifel(f bf broad cast wheat, and instead of being from two lo three inches in length, were from six to seven. jOjiAS.

Do the Change of Seel' A writer on Scotch Agriculture, treating of barley says “ The desire to change seed is not hotV so general as formerly, indeed some districts rare ly do it. There are, Undoubtedly, facts show ing the beneficial effects of changing seed; but where tho condition of the land is maintained, land the crops pfopetry .ripened, the necessity of tho change of seed tnriy be doubted. On one farm in Mid-Lothian, the same barley has been raised without change for forty years, and in favorable seasons this grain has reached the extraordinary weight of GOlbs. per bushel.”— It is our opinion, that whep tho Ittpd iS well tilled and manured, the seed good to begin with, seasonably sown, harvested; and taken dare of, there is no advantage, as a general thing, but rather a disadvantage resulting (‘rout the chan ging of field and garden seeds, whether grttftis, beans, peas, bulbs or roots. Propagate from the best, is the maxim always to bo heeded. — Barley that weighs-00 lbs. per bushel will make stronger and more vigorous plants than that .weighing but 50 lbs. “Like begets like,” is an old and true maxim. . Hence, let the. farmer go through his wheat field and select the largest and best filled heads for. seed, and continue this for a series of years, and he will thus essentially increase the yield per acre. So of maize, oats and rye.; The far mer should select his seed corn in this way, and never from the crib, for in -the latter case, it may have heated and thus impaired its vitali ty or even destroyed it entirely. -A gardner for several years pursued a simi lar course with his beans, selecting only the longest pods for seed, and by so doing greatly increased the yield, as every year produced a relatively larger proportion' of long pods,'were filled. IJtyjce it being true, that good qualities arc transmissible not less than bad ones. It is of the first importance that you have good seed.— Having mado sure of this,, there is no necessity for changing seed, incurring the danger of in troducing foul seed intqyour grounds. _ Would that farmers and gardeners might practice these hints and save their own seed, as indicated, rather than use the gleanings, as is too often done, especially with garden products. , Of the common Scotch barley, the variety called Chevelier is .best, having produced 70 bushels per acre, 60 lbs per bushel. The Next Year’s Wheat Fields. Farmers have had a pretty severe "less on this season, in consequences, a part of which Were purely : providential and beyond human control' or foresight, and consequently past crying about: but another part—and we leave it to careful and honest people to. say, each for themselves, in how much—was. the direct and palpable result of natural and reasonable eflccls following a mismanagement which is inexcusa ble, or worse than that. It has often been de monstrated that thorough farming not_ only pays better in all seasons, but is far safer in ex . treme ones, that seems strange,that people who can so ill afford it will Continue to throw away hard labor m half doing their work, where they get no pay. How is the land . for the fall sew ing ? 'ls it in clover or in rich fallow, ready to take in the seed and bold it like a generous mother, and bear it up in ,a liberal Crop ?or wili it “have to do” a poor starved field that is of no use 'even to pray over; and from Which nothing short of a rairfltle will bring you the seed agitifl! J'aith ii a good thing, but in far ming particularly, you cannot get along with out that other grace of. Good Works, and this latte# well laid out-will wonderfully strengthen your faith when it ultimates in’ fruition. Bet ter have one acre of-land got in right and in season, than five Boris' half done. The first will pay double, the last will, nil half pay, or not at all, and leave you feeling like a very much abused individual besides. Somi men will make money on five acres, While ilhers will nit make a decent living in a hundred. Ohio Cultivator. Rhturn'ed Mormons at Nebraska' Ci’xr. — On the 28th of July a large ntfmb’er of the company of 200’ Itfomonsf w’hb fc&ivcd pass pors and protection from Gov., Gumming last May, reached Nebraska City on their return to the States. They left Salt Lake City on the I4lh .of May, and' spent twenty. days at Fort Kearney. They were under the care of Capt. Smith. The Nebraska City News says': “ We are informed by one of tbeilf lihmber who lias resided in Salt Fake 6’ity. during the last four years, that there are largo numbers in the city and throughout the Territory, who have fora longtime manifested great anxiety to leave the country, hut have been' compelled by Brigham and his satellites to remain. They express great gratitude to Gov. Camming, and to the Government <rf the United States, for their deliverance. They represent the times as being very hard in Utah. Men are paid very poor waged, and are robbed and plundered ol scanty earnings by those in authority. Men employed upon the public'works are fed upon dry bread, and when complaining of their hard faro, are told by Young, Kimball, ahd the oth er Mbrmon leaders, that there are plenty of streams of rfatefin the vicinity. The most ab ject and slavish servitude is prevalent among the lower classes. Thousads who came out in hand-carts would be glad to rcturnr mi’ Wheel d harrows." K7"Tlic. tongue of a humming bint ia very curious. It has .two . tubes alongside, of each' other, like the two tubes of a double blrtTelled gun. At the tip ol’.thb' tohgiib the tubes are a little separated, and their ends are shaped like spoons. The honey ia souped up, as wo say, and then it is drawn into the mouth through the long tubes of the tongue. But the bird tikes its ton gue in another way. It catches insects with it, lor it lives on these as well as on honey. It catchbs' thcrii in' this way; the two spoons grasp the insect-like a pair of tongs, arid the tongue bending, puts it into the bird’s month. The tongue, then, of the humming bird, is not merely one instrument, but it contains together—two pumps, two spoons, and a pair of tongues.
