A loose class of Eng- Iratierß had come into tlio valley, introduced the sale of Intoxicating ;nr*. Many of the Indians, under Influence of drink, worn tempted' to I tvilh ail they had; and when re «l la sobriety, found themselves de :il\ 0 f their shins and furs, and left hr.ut find or clothing fur themselves families. Their destitution made ureventrful and ready to embark in perilous enterprise holding out hope hinder or reward. In 1751, the justl of Cumberland county united iu a ? r to the Governor, complaining of great disorders committed by many ions engaged in the. Indian trade; during the same year, Isaac Norris, ikerof the Assembly, in a inesaage'to Unvernor, said : “As it appeals from lute notorious disorders among the ian.traders, as well as from .the rep utation of the magistrates of Cum-, ami county, that some very, unfit nm are engaged in that business, we ethe Governor will enjoin ihejusll jf the county to bo more careful .In future wh.en they recommend for li ei, 1 ' .As early as 1741, the Governor he Stale, In. his message to the As- My, said: ,l I am apprehensive that Indian trade, as it is now carried on, involve us in a genera} war with the inns. Our traders, in defiance of law, y spirituous liquors among them, taking advantage of their'lnordinate elite lor it, cheat them of their skins wampum, and often debauch their n into the bargain.

Presents were made Co all the Indian tribes, and they were told that the English wished to drive the Indians from their hunting grounds, while the French were their lust friends. Ail these causes tended to produce complete alien ation between the two races which bad lived in imnnony, side by side, for over twenty years. Tbe disaffection of the Indians first manifested itself in capturing (he .whites and delivering them to the French. Iu 1751. a number of. Indi ans, headed by a Frenchman, captured George Henry, Joim Evans, James Dev oy and Owen Nicholson. They were carried to Quebec, and flora thence sent to lloohSlie, in Fiance, where, after many hardships,’their release was eflect -ed through ihe.mediation of theßritlah minister, and they weie sent by him to I&ond'nvutui from thence got d passage Philadelphia,.,,A r , of their sufferings was. made to the Assembly, aud Uiey were voted £lO to bear tbeir expenses to tbeir homes in Cumberland county. During the same year relief was also afforded by Che Assembly to Alex. Magonty, Patrick Burns ami Gen. Hutch ison, who had be u n carried off and held In captivity by (he Indians, and they were sent to their homes iu Cumberland couniy. Those abductions were but tbe prelude to more sanguinary sequences. Here and there a white man and his family were brutally murdered by the Indians, and consternation spread throughout the valley. In 1754, a petition was sent to the Governor, representing that the peo ple of the frontier were in imminent danger of destruction from merciless and inhuman savages, and praying for the protection of the provincial government. Tho petition was signed by : Benjamin Chambers, Hubert Chambers, jas. Carn ahan, James 1 McTeer, Charles Morrow, ■John Mitcbe l !. Joseph Armstrong, John Miller, Alexander Culbertson, Ju-.-Hol liday, Nathaniel Wilson, Win.

A similar petition was sent by tho in habitants of Burg mi township—now part of Franklin county—stating that they had united iu terming a company, un dercommand of Alexander Culbertson, to defend them against tho incursion's of tlie savages, but they were entirely de -fenceless, being destitute of arms and ammnnnltion ; and asking that .they bo supplied with suitable means of defense. A few years later, a number of persons in that locality were captured by the In dians and carried off over the mountains Captain Culbertson’s company went in pursuit of the Indians, aud overtook them* near Sideling Hill. A desperate fight ensued, iu which Cupt. Culbertson and’nearly half his men were killed, and a number of them were made prisoners by tbe Indians. The stream known as Bloody Run Is said to have derived its name from that battle, which was fought on its banks. lii response to these petitions, Gover nor Hamilton sent a message to the As sembly, in August, 1751, in which he stales that “ the people of Cumlieriand county, are so apprehensive 'of danger from the nearness of French and sava ges under their influence, tiiat they have in the must earnest manner petitioned me for. protection, representing Unit a great number would be warm and active in defense of themselves and country were they enabled to he so by being supplied with arms and a’mmnuiiion,, which many of them are unable to pur chase at their own private expense. It b 'comes my indispensable duty, and I cannot excuse myself from pressing up on you to turn your thoughts on the de fenceless stale of the province in general and our back inhabitants in particular, ft is not in my power to answer their ex peetalions without the aid of your house.” Neither tile petitions of the iohahiianls nor the recommendation of the Governor seem to have had much weight with the Assembly, for most of the members were Quakers and non-combatants. The peo ple of tne vaiiey were therefore thrown almost entirely upon tlieii own resour ces, ami it was boldly charged, and never successfully contradicted, Unit when tit© roinnrsless Indian war burst upon 111© heads of the defend dess people of the valley, the provincial govern merit, tho’gli repeatedly warned of the danger, and implored to take some measures of de fense, had hot furnished o single soldier, nor arms, nor ammunition. And even after the horrors of Indian warfare had been carried into hundreds of defenseless families, the Governor again urged the Assembly to prepare for the defense of the border, reminding them that the frontier settlers were assailed by un en emy who made no distinction of ago nor sex", but slaughtered tile tender infant and its shrieking mother with the sav age fierceness of wild' beasts-but his ap peals were to no purpose. Although that assistance and protec tion were withheld, which they had o right to expect from the provioclai gov ernment, yet tile sturdy settlors in the Kltintinny valley were by no means disheartened. They determined to de fend their homes to the last, and at a meeting of the general committee of Cumberland county, convened by order of John Potter, sheriff of the county, at the residence of Mr. Bhippen, in Ship peiibhurg.on October 30th, 1755, at which time eighteen I ersons were present, it was resolved to build immediately (ivu large forts, one at Carlisle, one at Riiip pensburg, one at Col. Chambers,’ ono at Mr. Bleeps meeting house, and one at William Allison’s. The forts at Carlisle ami Mr. Steel’s mooting house have al ready been described. In 1756, Benjamin Chambers ereoted a fort at ills own ex pense, which wus visited by Jus. Young, who says: “In our journey to Fort Lyt tleton we stopped at Mr. Chambers’ mill, ten .miles beyond Shlppeusburg, where ho iias a good private fort, on un exceed ing 'good situation to be wade very de fensible ; but what I think of great oon sequence to tho government is that In paid fort are two four-pound cannon mounted, and jv-hody but* n* few country people to defendu. 1 If thoeneiuy should take that foit, they would naturally bring those cannon against Shlppena* burg ami Carlin le. I therefore presume to recommend to your honor either (o have tlie cannon taken from thence or a proper garrison stationed there.”. Acting on thU suggestion, tho Governor wrote to Col. Joim Armstrong, respecting Cham bers’ fort, who in reply Raya: ** 1 hove wrote to Mr. Chambers concerning tlie guns at fils fort, according to order, but lie tlftnks by going to Philadelphia be may prevail with your honor to let them stay where they are.” This application not succeeding, Col. Armstrong sent a party of his majesty’s forces, under com maud of Thomas Smallman, to leraove the cunnmi to Sbippensburg or some other fort; hut upon tlie arrival of tlie party at the fort, they found it so well defended against them that they with drew without accomplishing their object. Gov. Denny, on reeeTvTng’"Tiir«i , Tnlein*"’ gence, Issued his brdors to the sheriff of Cumberland county, to arrest Mr. Cham bers and bring him before him, under a strong guard, to Philadelphia. .Colonel Chambers, subsequently entered into recognizance to appear beforelhe Gov ernor, but.tbe cannon were suffered to remain in his possession. This fort stood on the bank of tbe Conocochcugue, in the rear of tlie lot recently owned by the late Judge Oyster, in Chamberaburg. It was « Blockade, enclosing tho dwt-llliighouse, and the flour and saw mills of tbe pro prietor.' Within the fort, a large stone building, two stories high, was erect© I— the waters of the Falling Bpring running under it, for safe access to the water ; Us windows were small and adapted to do fence; the roof was covered with sheet lead, to protect it from the torch of the savage. In addition to small arms, Col. Chambers had. supplied himself with the cannon previously mentioned.— Wilkin the fori he remained in safety, with Ids family, throughout tho whole series of Indian wars. It was also a place of siieiter and security to many of the neighboring families in times of alarm Though tho fort was occasionally assail ed by tlie Indians, no one was injured who remained within its enclosure. Mr. McKinney, a farmer of the .neighbor hood who had taken shelter there, ven tured out with his son to see the cattle on his farhi, and their bodies were after terwards found, murdered and scalped, about hulfn mile from the fort., In a letter to Gov. Morris, June 14th, 1754, Charles Swain, who wan despatch ed f> Sbippensburg with provisions for Gen. Brudduck’a forces, then in the west, says : “I can find but little cellaring here for securing the pork, but have pitched on a shady and dry spot in the woods for a cellar, for what I cannot store in such cellars as are in town. Tlie principal ex pense attending tho magazine hero wilt lie to biresome person to attend tlie cattle, also to watch tile stores ai.d pork, for they assure me there are many ill-disposed peraoiis In these parts, who would both take the pork, and break into the stores, If not watched.” It is probable a rude stockade was erected at tbis time “ at (lie shady and dry spot in the woods,” for the protection of the government stores, for | in June, 1755, letters from Sbippensburg apeak of tbe “ murders committed near our fort,” and in July, of the same year, Mr. Swain again writes to Governor Morris : “ I suppose the people will now come fust into these parts, and sbail use all expedition iu forwarding a fort. I have pitched on u piece of ground of Mr. Shippen’M, and the’ Umber about here is all bis, therefore I should bs glad if he was written to about It.” ‘ And in Aug ust, of (he same year, Mr. Shipped writes to James Burd, at Sbippensburg, and says I hope tbe people will all go to gether immediatefy to build tbe fort.” In .* December, lie again writes M I hope you are going on briskly with, tlra fort, for you may expect the Governor will he there before he. returns.” Fort Morris ‘ was then probaoly erected in 1755. by Col. James Burd, and In 1753 and 1757 it was garrisoned by two companies of the royal troops. According to tradition there were two forts lu Sbippensburg— fort Morris and fort Franklin—the for mer. probably mined In honor of tlie vlsitof Governor .Morris to Sbippensburg, of which mention was made by'Mr Shipped—And tho latter probably called after Benjamin Franklin, who frequent ly visited the county on matters pertain ing to Indian troubles. Fore Morris stood at the • north-east end of the bor ough, on tho bind of the lafo Wifflum McConnell, known a* '‘Die fort,” where tlie remains of a well dug for the use of the fort still exist. At tho went cud of tlie benough, on a steep rocky bluff, stood Fort Franklin, sometimes called tbe “Bull's-Bye,” from the fact Unit a large round bole was left in the gable end of tlie ’building, to servo as a look-out. The.re mains of the wall stood there until IS3U, and a school house is now erected on tho silt*. Other authorities indicate that fort Morris was at tlie western end of t lie town, and fort Franklin In 'the north eastern section, but all agree that both forts wore at Sbippensburg. "TnE Day we LhibnuKATE.”—Wednes day was Washington’s birth-day, some times Irreverently caMed “ Birtliingtoii’s Washday.” The illustrious “ father of ids 'country" was born of poor hut res pectable parents, In the city of Genoa, in the year 1492. When George was a little hoy, lie had.a little hatchet with- which he chipped the bark off oue of his fath er's cherry trees. The “ old man,” as George called him, was very Indignant, hut pretended ignorance of the author of the mischief, in order to entrap the youngster into telling a lie about,it, in which event he proposed to give him a sound flogging; but George suspected the old gentleman’s design, and took the wind oomplolely out or bis sails by own ing up- When he grew up to bo a man, lie turned out to be very “disloyal” to the government under which lie lived, and was openly denounced us "the great est rebel of Ids time.” The same shrewd ness which he manifested in youth, did not desert him in maiihnod, hut saved him on numerous occasions from being “hung on a sour apple tree,” Though possessing no especial fondness for vulgtir jokes, anecdotes, negro songs, theatres, fast horses nor fancy pups, yet ho was chosen President of the United States. His good lady was quite popular with the people, though she neither wore low necked dresses nor $l5OO petticoats, and. after her husband's death did not sell her old clothes at auction. During his term of oflleb, George was highly es teemed, and a great many old-fashioned people even now believe that he was us good a President us General Grant or Abiahain Lincoln. PjSUSONAL.--.Wo are pleased to learn thatPrnl. Spencer F. Bulid,of the Smith sonian Institute, and lonnorly a citizen of this place, has been appointed by the president, Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, under a recent act of congress. Special Court.—A epeclal terra of court, for tho trial of civil erases, was held Inal Week, before a full bench. Too following cases weio disposed of: Cyrus H. MoCorhiluk and Leander Mc- Cormick, partners trading as McCormick & Brother, vs, The Cumberland Valley Railroad Company, John Gish, Jacob V. Gish and Ira Long. Tills action waa brought by the Messrs. McCormick, man ufacturers of the reapers which bear their name, for' the value of a reaper alleged to have been lost aoraowhere along the Cumberland Valley Railroad. The reap er hud been sent to the warehouse at Shippensburg, and from there waa di rected to be sent to some point down the road. It never arrived at its destination, and its whereabout was uever afterwards discovered. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiffs for $144 77.

Kaufmau, James Errsminger, Barenco Wilder, George 'RhWdsTEirH: Coover, John~C~'Kirk f * William Swleuey, Adam Feeruan and Samuel .Shoop. Tills was an action In damages brought against the authorities of New Cumberland. The plaintiff're fused to pay a certain tax assessed upou him, and the tax collector Jevied upon a boat belonging to him and sold It. The plaiutlff’showed that the borough autho* rities were neither legally elected, nor had they been sworn according to taw, nor had the collector and treasurer given the bonds required bylaw for the faithful performance of their duties. The jury brought iu a verdict of $3O 00 for tho plaintiff. Hepburn for plaintiff ; Todd for defendants. J. Xs. Plank w. Samuel- Diller, Sr., ex ecutor of Jacob Burkholder.

After Burkholder’s death, Plank produced a note for 53.500, drawn In his favor by Burkholder, and slating on its face that it was for services rendered. The defen dant alleged ihut no adequate considera tion was given, for the note, and that Burkholder did not give the note under seal as presented to court. This led to a lengthy investigation. In regard to Burk holder’s physical and menial condition, —which occupied several days, a large number of witnesses being examined* The case not being concluded on Satur day afternoon, was resumed on Monday morning of this week, and concluded the Mime evening, the jury rendering a ver dict of 53 t 91)0 for the plaintiff. Miller & Newsham, Shearer and Sharpe fur plain tiff; S. Hepburn, S. Hepburn, jr., and Heuderson & Hays for defendant. Death’s Doings.—Occasionally there are deaths which seem to cast an unusual gloom over the whole community. This was especially true of two deaths which occurred in this place last week. Mias Mary H. Blair, oldest daughter of A. H. Blair, E-*q f , an interesting and lovely young lady, after a lingering illness, died of consumption, on Thursday lust, and was burled in the old grave’ yard, on Monday afternoon. Little Florence Weakley, daughter of lion. J. M. Weak.ey, a sweet and win some child, übout four years old, was prostrated with gastric fever, and died on Thursday night, after a few days’ illness, and was buried in the Catholic cemetery on Saturday. She was one of those bright, lively children who win the affection of a whole neighborhood ; and muuyVere the heartfelt words of regret spoken in tueuipry of bright eyed little Florence. .Mis.- Mary B. Gregg, wife of John M. Gregg, Esq., died at her residence, in CliaiuberabuTg, on Saturday last, after a lingering illness.

The Counterfeit .Swindle,—This community Is being flooded with another Instalment of counterfeit circulars from Now York, odering counterfeit green* backs for sale. Tsvo of them were re ceived at this office* Several of these scoundrels have recently been arrested and tried in New York; and they univer sally put In the defense that they never send out counterfeit money. When their dqpes in tho country send for a package of counterfeit money, enclosing.slo, $25. or $5O, they semi them, in return, a small package of shavings and brown paper, accompanied with a polite note, inform ing them that iho enclosed is tho only counterfoil money they deal In, an*l as the business of passing counterfeits la a dangerous one, and generally leads to the penitentiary, they would advise their country friends to abandon tho Idea of becoming first class scoundrels, and in go to work and earn a livlngat some .honest employment. We advise our friends not to be caught by tbo specious promises of *111686 rascals.

Our Methodist friends and others are busily engaged making arrangements for the meeting, and an interesting session is anticipated. How to Make a. Town.—No town can reach a position of any importance, un less it produces something its neighbors are compelled to purchase. A collection of stores cannot accomplish anything in proportion to that aUTil'iiable by a manii* facturing'lown. This fact is beginn Ing to be pretty generally understood elsewhere, and it is lime out' moneyed men awoke to the truth. Death of Hon. Jasper E. Buadv.— This gentleman, who was atone time a resident of Chamhersburg, and who was well known to iho people of this county, died in Washington City, on the 23d ult., of erysipelas, aged about 80 years. Mr.' Brady was a'prominent politician, in the days of the old Whig party, and was elect ed to Congress in 18-IU over Hon. Samuel Hepburn, in the Franklin, Cumberland and Ferry district, and was beaten inISIS by Hon. James X. McLunahun. He re moved to IMUshurgh.about 1850, and sub sequently to Washington. Fur several years ho was chief of tho auditing divi sion of the Paymaster General’s ollleo. The deceased was a lineal descendant of Capt. (Sam. Brady, the Celebrated in* dial) fighter, and a near relative of the late Gen. Hugh Brady, U- Stales army. y« Local Fapeic— T/ie Conueantville Courier suys: *• The Comminslonois ol every county in the Slate ought to direct the preservation, binding and filing of each paper published in their respective counties. These tiles chould be preserved by the recorder with as much care as any other records of the county, ns they would form u very complete history of the ©venls In respective'localities h here published. In future years, to the historiau and the arcbroologist, they would be invaluable, and frequently.explain the origin of cus toms and institutions, which otherwise would be wholly lost. The moat insigni ficant 7-by 9 sheet published tu tlie moat obscure portion of the county, however remote from civilization, would frequent ly possess the greatest intrinsic value, because of the facts recorded there nt the time and place of their occurrence. The annual cost of tbeir preservation to the county would be inconsiderable, the ad vantage inexpressible.” Episcopal Mission.— Tbo Mechanics 'burg Journal of iboTOth Inst., says : “On Sunday last tbe Rev Dr. Leverett, pastor of St. John's Chapel, Carlisle, in two very able and Interesting sermons, estab lished tbo Mechanlcsbiirg Mission of the Protestant Episcopal church. Notwith- Btaudlug tint inclemency of the weather, Franklin Hall was well tilled with an attentive and respectable audience who came to see and, bear what manner tf people these wore. The mission is started under very favorable auspices and prom ises good results." A Good Idea. A bill b»s been intro duced In the Senate of thU Stale, which imposesa.penalty ol from thirty iaya’ to one year’s imprisonment for injuries to graves, trees, shrubbery, &c., in public cemeteries. It Istobu hoyed that this may became a law, ami that the vamfhlftmi practiced in cemotcrles, especially during tbo summer, may cease, or tbe vandals suffer tbe severest penalty of tbo Jaw.

IN WINTER. Having for the last thlriv-flvo years devoted my whole lime and attention to Urn study of lunu diseases and oimMimpflon. 1 feel that I uie derstand fuliv tho emu so that ought to ho pur sued to restore a tolerably bad ea«o of 'disease 1 lumiHto UeivHhv shundaeM. The and most important step Is for tho nationt loavoid liking cold and the host of all places on this continent for this purpose In wlnlor. is Florida, well down In the Stale, where tho temperature Is regular, in,,) no i subject to such variations as |.i mor.e Northern latitudes. Palutka IS a point I can ecommend. A rood hot**! Is kept there by Pe terman. Ea«t winter I saw several persons there whose lungs had been badly diseased but who under Urn healing Influence of the cllmuto and tnv medicine*, wore getting well. One hundred miles,furtuer down the river Is a point which I would prefer to t'ahuka.nH tho temperature Is more even and the ntr dryland bracing. Motlonvllleand Enterprise are located there • I should give a deemed preference to Meltouvllu*. it Is two miles from river or lake, ami it seems almost impossible to take cold there. The tables in Florida might be belter, and patients complain at times bat that Is a good sign, 'ns 11 indicates a return of appetite, anil when nils la the case j hey generally increase lu Uc.hU. and then tho lungs must neal. Jacksonville, Hlborbln,Green Covo.arfd many other places m various parts of Florida, cun be safely recommended lo consumptives in winter. My reasons lor saying so arc that patients are le-s liable to take cold there then where (heroin a less oven temperature, and it Is not necessary lo sav that wheio a consumptive person exposes himself to frequent colds ho Is coitain to die shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well clown into the Slate nut of the reach «l prevmilti eusg winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost anv other of the localities I have named, will bene -111 thiMßWhnnrelmnWeil with n wrul.l liver, a illsariKl Htninaeli. ilenuiceil b.iwels, anr* llirnnt or cough hot for those wlu.se lungs are diseased a more southern point is earnestly recommend* ot For llftoen vears prior tolk«W. I was profession ally In New York. Iloston, Uattnnoro and Phila delphia every week, wheie 1 snw and examined on un average live hundred patients n week. A practice so extensive, embracing ovary possible phase of lung disease, has enabled mo to under stand the disease tally, and hence, my camion id regard lo taking cold. A person may take vast quantities of Scimnck’n Pu amnio Strain. Seaweed Tonlcand Mandrake Fill, and yet dlo it ho does not avoid Inking cold. In Florida, nearly eveivbndy Is using Keoenck-K Mandrake Pills, for the eiimate is more likely to produce billons habits than more northern latitude. It is a well established fad that natives of Florida rarely die of consumption especially those of the southern part. On the other hand, in New England, one third, at least, of the population dlo of this terrible d'sease.- In tlie Middle State* It does not prevail no largo- Iv nil 11 there are mady thouHandsof cases there. - Wliattt vast percentage of Ulo would bo silved If consumptives were easily alarmed lu regard to taking fresh c«hl us ih»y «ro about searlet fever, stn mo cases whore a free use of the Mandrake Fills is necessary. Mv object Is to give tone to dm stomach—to get up a good appetite. It Is always a good sign when a pntmnt begins to iriiw hungry. I have opes of such. With a rell-h for (ood and the g’aUrle ifbm of t hat rel ish eotues good h'lood.an i l with It. more flesh, which is closely followed by a healing of the lung*, Then tho cough loosens,and abates, tho creeping chills and clammy night-Hweilu no longer prostrate and nunov, .mu the patient gets well, provided ho avoids biking cold. Now there nre manv consumptives who have not the means lo go Flo.uta. The question may he asked. KMiero no hope for such? Corlalnly tlmro Is. My advice to such N, mid ever has been, to stay In u w inn room during the winter, with a temperature of about seventy degrees, which should be kept regularly at that point, 1 by means of a thermometer. Lottmoh a patient fake his' exerol-o within, iho bmits.of the room by walk I no up and down as mochas his strength will permit. In orderto keep up a healthy circu lation of tho blood, r hftvo cared thousands by , this system, and can do bo again. Cotiaump- Don Is as easily cured n« any other disease if it Is taken In time, and the proper kind of treat ment Is pursued. Tho fact stap J- undisputed on record that Sohenck’s Pulmonic Hyrup, Man drake Pills, and seawed Tonic have-cured very many of what seemed to*.ho hopeless cases or consumption. Qo w'horo you will,you will bo almost certain to And some poor consumptive who has been rescued from iho very Jaws of death by theletlsc. , Hofyr ns Mandrake Pills aro concerned, every body should'ltbep ffguppiydf tliembu han't!— They acton tho liver belter lhan rnlonvd and leave none of Its hurtful effects behind. In fact ihcv are excellent in all cases whrru a imrgativo medicine is required. I you have partaken too freely of fruit and dturrluoacusu *, a dose of tho Mandrakes will ruro you. If you arc subject to sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes and they will relievo you|in two bouts. X'you would obviate the effect of a chance of water, or the too' free indulgence in fruit, tako on« of the Mandrakes every night or every other night, and you nmv then drink water and eat water melons, pears, apples, p.um*. peaches or corn, without the risk of being made sick by them.— They will perfect tnoso wim live In damn sUna- Uousagalust chill* and fevers. Try them. They aru perfectly harmless. They can do yon good only. - -• I have abandoned my professional visits t- Rostou and New York, but continue to sec pa, • tiept.s at my offlee.
