Ifeil. 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

“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.”

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.

‘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

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.

beneath his foe, and listened to their irregular
breathings which were soon, to cease in death.
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. Without any
attempts to be cunning, and by mere force of
■his abilities, and,a straightforward life, ho might
have been fur more successful., lie loved In
trigue for its own saker-. 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.

Merrily sound the songl*-, .
Toung wife, I talked to your husband in my
last letter, and I now address you. I told him
that you have a claim on his time.and society.
There are qualifications of' this claim which
concern you particularly,-gud'so I speak to you
about them. Your husband, labors all day—
every day—and during the walking bouts be
tween the conclusion oil Jaa,labor at night and
its commencement in the morning, lie must have
recreation of some ■ kind,.and' here comes in
your duty.
If you do not make his homo pleasant, sothat
the fulfilment of his duty to you shall bo a sweet
pleasure to him, you cannot hope for much of
his company. What his’ nature craves it will
have—must have. Ho cannot be a slave all the
time—a slave to his work by day, arid a slave
tp you by night.' He muotMhave'hCurs of free
dom ; and happy are you if, or bia own choice,
ho take tho enjoymont yoji offer in,the place of
anything which the outsiuo world has to give.—
I suppose there are few men, who, when their
work is over, end ; their :>nppor oaten, do not
have a desire to go down town «to meet a man”
or visit “ the jfost office.? 5 There is a natural
desire in every heart toddle every day, an hour
of social freedom—a foty minutes, at least, of
walk in the open air, and Contact with the minds
of other mem This his'.(jntirelya natural and
necessary tiling;, and,should encourage
rathcr.'.than. sook to
. band ss iricliricd to vik'.v—m iduces ; iUid asso
biate.with bad companiolJS; ‘ ~
Precisely herb is a danger'etta point jot vcttn
husband and Wife. The Wife has boon alone
during the day, and thinks that her husband
ought to spend (lie wliatp. evening with,hot.—
The husband has been confined ,to his labor, and
longs for an hour of freedom, in Whatever direc
tion his feet may choose,to wandeb. Pbfhtfps
wife tliinks lie.has no business to wander at all,
and that his custom is to winder too widely and
100 long. She complains, aSfcl becomes exact
ing. She cannot bear to have hbf hbsband out
"of her sight fora moment after he quits bis
work. Now, if there bo anj'thWfg in all this
world that will make a husband hate his wife,
it is a constant attempt on her part to monopo
lize all his leisure time and all his society, to
curtail his freedom, dncTii fendcncy to bo fori
over (retting-his'oars with the statement that
“ she is nothing 55 , of course, that ho “ does not
care anything obout about “ her, 55 and that ho
dislikes his homo. Treatment like this will just
as certainly rouse all the perverseness of a man 5 s
nature as a spark will ignite .gunpowder. In
justice and inconsidoratoness will not go.down,
especially when administered by a man's com
panion. Ho knows that he loves his homo, and
arid that ho needs and has a right • to a-certain
amount of his time away from home; and it he
bo treated as if lio possessed no such necessity
and rigid, ho wilt soon learn to be all that his
.wife represents him to bo. I tell you that a
man wants very careful handling. You must
remember that ho can owe no duty to you .which
does not involve a duty from you. You have
' the charge bf the homo, and if you expect him
to spend a portion, or all of his evening in it,
you must make it attractive. If you expect a
man, as a matter of duty,- (o' giVe any considera
ble amount oflime to yoursocioty, daily, through
a long scries of years, you aro to see that that
society i'a* Worth something to him. Where aro
your accomplishments? Whore are your hooka?.
Where are yobr subjects of ; '-
But let us take up' this- question' separately :
HoW shiilf a' wife make her homo pleasant and
her society attractive ?-This is a short ques
tion', but a 1 full ajbopfe, I
can only touch abow points, in the first placo,
sho shoufyl* never indulge in fault finding- .If a
man has learned to expect that ho. wifi invaria
bly he found fault with by his' Wife' Mi hid return
homo, and’ that tho iiurden of her words will bo
complaint, he has absolutely no pleasure to an
ticipate and none to enjoy. There id bßf Obo
alternative for a husband' in such a citsc'— efthor
to stool himself against complaints, or bo har
rowed 1 up by tftorar, and made snappish and was
pish. They nevor prodgeo a good cficct under
any circnmotaneeS 1 whatever. There shbrild al
ways- bo a pleasant word and look ready for.
him who returns from 1 the toils of the day,
wearied with earning the necessaries'of tho
family. H a pretty paisof slippers lie before
tho fire, ready for bis feet, so much tho better.
Then, again, tho desire to'bo pleasing in per
son should never leave a wile for a day. The
husband who comes homo at night, and finds
his wife dressed to receive him—dressed neatly
and tastefully, because sho rVishcd to be pleas
ant to Ills' eye—cannot, Unless he bo a brdte,
neglect her, or slight her graceful pains- taking.
It Is a compliment to him. It displays a desire
to maintain tho charms which first attracted him,
and to keep intact the silken bonds which her
tasteful girlhood had fastened to his fancy. ~
I have seen things managed' Very differently
ftom this. I have known an undressed head of
“ horrid hair 55 worn all day long, because no

wrong young wife, for there Is no being in this

beneath which a heart is beating with tho same
unvarying truth and affection, through all glad

this, has little temptation to spend much time

Correspondence of the New York Tribune .
PLANTING WHEAT IN IIILLS—SUCCESSFUL
EXPERIMENT.
Booiiester, Fulton Co., Tkd.,
July 27. 1858.
Through the Tribune, on coming to the no
tice of the greatest number of readers, I wish to
present the following matter bf vast importance
in regard to the cultivation of wheat. .
I planted last Fall five rows of wheat, with
Spaces between difierent rows, of three feet, two
feet, and eighteen inches: this was kept clean
with the hoe, and the product is as follows'. avr
erage number, of stalks from each seed, neatly
thirty-two; number of grains to the head, sev
enty-two t-o one hundred.
. 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.

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.

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.
