After laving Unished reaping, and resting keinsolves in the field, some distance totn their arms, and without any senti- nets, they were surprised mu] fired on from ditVovent quarters. Joseph Mitchell called on them to run for their arras and defend themselves to the last, but the men Hod in consternation. As two In dians wore dragging a young woman . away by the hair, .Mitchell tired on them and killed one of them ;• hut ho himself was killed by a shot ns ho was reloading his gun. Joseph Mitchell, Jus. Mitchell, William Mitchell, John Finley. Robert Sleeuson, Andrew Ensiow, John,Wiley, Allen Henderson and William Gibson were killed; and Jane MoCammon, Mary Minor, Jannot Harper, and a son o( John Finley cere captured. Only one Indian was killed, and lie was said to he a chief. His scalp fell to the lot of Margery Mit chell, widow of Joseph Mitchell, who sent the following petition to Richard Peters, Esq., at Philadelphia: " I was some time ago in Philadelphia, in expec tation of receiving a reward from the Commissioners for an Indian scalp, but was quite disappointed. It ill suited me at the time to take so fatiguing and-ex pensive a journey. One might think onmirfhn humanity would induce the gentlemen to allow hiesomnsmall matter on that occasion, especially as I lost my husband and son, which has so sensibly affected me that,l am unable to provide (ho common necessaries of life. y o ur Honor gave me some hopes, when in town, Unit you. would use your interest in endeavoring to prevail with the Com. mlssioners to consider me,.which I doubt not you will do, as it is part of your char acter to relieve the distressed.” About tlie same time a party of Indians appeared in Rhcrmau’s valley and drove the inhabitants to the fort id Carlisle. Lieut. Armstrong, with forty sqtdiers, and thirty oftlio fugitive country people, crossed- the -mountain. Everywhere, in burned houses and crops, they saw the traces of (ho enemy ; out loaded as. they wore with plunder, the Indians had no intention of giving hattic, and succeeded in eluding their pursuers. .The following items were gathered'hy Mr. Rupp from tiles of the Pennsylvania Gazelle for 1757 : Juue-iUth, Alexander.

During these memorable years there was one man whose personal' prowess and individual acts of retribution on the savage foe made him a greater terror to the Indians than any other single indi vidual. He was known as Capl. Jack— “the Black Hunter”—“ the Wild Rifle-” As early as 1750 or V 752, he entered the woods along the Conodoguinct, built a cabin near the banka of the Big Spring, and passed hia time in hunting and fish ing. Oncevening, when he returned from a day of sport, he found his cabin burned and bis wife and children murdered.*— From that day lie forsook the haunts of civilized man, lived in caves, seized every opportunity for revenge, and was of signal service in protecting the frontier inhabi tants from the Indians On oneocoasion, at the dead of night, a white family were suddenly awakened by the report of a rifle. They jumped from their beds, and by the glimmering light from the chim ney-fire, saw an Indian fall to rise no more. The open door exposed to view the wild hunter. “ I saved your lives,” he cried, as he turned from the house and was buried in the gloom of night. Ho never shot without good eau.se f aiui his aim was unerring. He formed a com- ■ pany of rangers to defend the settlers against savage incursions. On a given signal they met at their rendezvous, and their exploits along the Conodoguluct, the Coitodoehengue and the Juniata, were fold over at the li realties of the settlors for half a century. Ilia hardy hunters vol unteered lor the ill-starred expedition of Gen. Bruddock, and Col. Croghau, speak-. ing of thorn, in a letter to the General, says : “ They are dressed in hunting shirts, moccasins and skins, are all well armed; and, equally regardless of heat or cold, they require no shelter and ask no pay.” .. ‘ In the old grave yard at Rocky Spring is a plain marble slab", bearing the inscrip- tion: 'Mu memory of James McCalmont,- who departed tin's life July 19th, ISO 9, aged 72 years.” Hqjived near Strasburg, and was generally the leader of parties of the settlers of that locality sent in pursuit of the savages, and from his success in discovering their haunts and indicting summary vengeance upon them for their atrocities, ho was considered by the In dians as a daring and formidable foe. On one occasion, while returning home from Chambersburg, he was pursued by a party of Indians bent on securing the scalp of their hated enemy. He ran into a barn which stood by the wayside, aud escaped out of the farther side anil secreted hiai self in a thicket. Tho savages set the barn on fire, and stood around yelling at their supposed success in capturing their foe. When they found ho, had escaped, they gave a yell of disappointment, and started again on MuCairnont’s trail, but being remarkable forswiftness or foot, he succeeded in outrunning the Indians, who pursued him to tho fort at Shippens- burg, where he selected a few men from the -arrison, and in turn pursued the Indians, returning with their scalps. He was working in a field, with several other persons, at harvest time. Their guns were in a distant part of the field, ami a gang of prowling savages sprang from a thicket, aud one of them, more bold than the rest, ran for the guns. McCulmont started in lhesamedirection,andalthongh tho Indian had tho advantage of tho ground, reached the guns first, and shot the savage dead. On tho southwestern side of Strasburg is a cave, culled McCaU moot’s cave, in which ho was accustomed to hide when pursued by the Indiana. It was in the midst of a thicket, and so covered by thick vines and bushes that It afforded uu admirable retreat In times of danger. In later days he was a Major in Clfe revolutionary war, and became distinguished as a brave and accomplish ed soidier. On one 11)00081011, while on duty In New Jersey, ho captured a do/.fm Hessian soldiers; and having no con- •ut way of disposing of them, ho hod them to Strasburgj where he owuhl a largo tract of land, and induced venir marc thorn to settle there. Amu* Court.— Tho April term of tho CoujMh of Common Pleas, Quarter Ses sions, &c., for this county > willcommeuco in this borough on Monday next, the 10th iust., to continue.two weeks. No cases of a genera! interest are to bo tried in the Quarter Sessions, but In the Common Pleas more than the usual number of causes are down for trial- I'lHk!—About twenty minutes before olio ojciock, on Thursday' morning Inst, smoke wns discovoroil issuing from a frnrno simp, in the rear of tlio -brick lilnoksmilh and wagon-maker shops, on East South street, adjoining tiro grocery store of Win, Blair, & Son. These shops were the property of William Blair, and wore in the occupancy of George Linde monde and Geo. Wolf. Prom tbelnteness of the hour, it was a considerable time before the people could be aroused ; and before the engines got fairly at work, the frame shop was wrapped in flames, ami considerable damage done to the wood work of the other buildings. The frame building was used for storing away the finished work of the wagon-maker shop, and the seasoned material, and as pearly .all the contents were destroyed, the loss of Mr. Wolf is heavy, but is covered by Insurance. As soon as the " Union " and “ Good Will" steamers got to work, they checked the flames but there seemed to be more than the usual delay iir getting -water on-the -iUo.—The, Are plugs nearest the fire being taken by the Union and Good Will, the Cumber land steamer’was not in service, for lack of a suflleient quantity of good hose. This Is.an evil that ought lobe remedied at once. As there had been no lire in the frame building for several months, the conflagration whs undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. The students of Princeton College have been dismissed, on account of a case of varioloid liavjng occurrod there." This paragraph, which lias been going the rounds, is. only partially true. The Student who was taken ill was Edward Todd, son of Gen. Lemuel Todd, of (his place, anti tfie attack was a very slight one, if indeed it teas varioloid at all. Mr. Todd was at oneo removed to comfortable quarters, two or three miles from Prince ton, and ns the sessiou was almost at an end as a prudential, measure the students wore dismissed; We are pleased to learn that Edward Todd is rapidly recovering, and will be homo us soon as it will be prudent for him to travel. Accident.—:Ou 'Wednesday tho 2f)th nit., Mr. Jns. Coyle, a worthy and indus trious citizen of South Middleton town ship, met with a most painful accident: He was working af ids trade, (which is that of a carpenter,) in Papertown, and in attempting to split a piece of pine, tile hatchet glanced ami struck him on tile loft arm, severing (be sinews of the wrist in a shocking manner. The wound hied ■profusely, and it was at first feared that .amputation would, he 'necessary. Wb are giad to learn, however, that he is now doing well, ami it is hoped he will not be permanently disabled. XlonsF. Thief Abkfstep.—On Monday the27th nit., a man named Niche! hired a horse and buggy at Hie livery’stoble of H, IC. Ped'ej', Esq., in this borough, with tho avowed purpose of going to Harris burg. Not,reinrningat the time specified, suspicions were aroused and search made. On Wednesday, Constable Charles Sanno arrested Nickel .at Hunter’s Run, with tho properly in his possession. He was brought back to Carlisle and lodged in the ‘-Sandstone Tower.’’ Ho will prob ably be tried at tire April sessions. Saturday last, April Ist, wasawretch ed day, and every class of tho community united itr denouncing it. It snowed am! rained ami stormed the entire day, and those unfortunates who had to re move their household goods felt the full force of the storm. Business men* who hail to meet their engagements, did so as quickly ‘as possible and then hurried home. Our market was a slim affair, and prices were somewhat stiff, butter selling at 60 cents por pound, eggs at 2S cents a dozen, and other-articles in proportion. “All Fool's Day” Hi is year, was certainly anything-but a pet. IloimisitY.—'Tim Newvillo &tar of (he fdley of Thursday last, says: We (earn mt filestore ofMr.’John Kyle,at Jleho >tii Church, in Newton township, was ihlicd of a large amount of drygoods. notions, Ac., on Friday night- last. The store was entered hy breaking open a window. All Ilia hosiery, Muon, knives, cigars, and almost everything not too bulky was carried off, to the amount of between four and six hundred dollars. Several travellngsacks were taken, doubt less to carry off the booty. No clue has as yet been discovered of the thieves. • A barn near Newburg, the properly of Robert Peebles, was burned about two weeks ago. The building was old, and contained some hay and straw, which caused it to burn fiercely. For a time tho surrounding buildings were enda'ugered from the falling sparks, but the timely efforts of the people who had collected prevented’ its spreading, Tho fire, it is thought, was tho work of an incendiary, and a reward is offered by the authorities of the village for his apprehension. The Rooster. —Tho juveniles of our town.have taken hold of the “ Rooster” in a business-like manner, and the shrill notes of the chanticleer of the boys’ own manufacture are to be heard from morn ing uni il night. It is a queer kind of a rooster they carry with them—being made generally from coffee essence boxes, oy ster boxes, etc., with a rosined string ’ fastened to the bottom- By clasping the fingers and running them down tho siring, I hey got up areal, hona Jlde crow, or something between a crow and tho scream of a parrot- People of a nervous temperament are loud in their denuncia tion of this new juvenile treasure, anil anxiously hope its life will be of short duration- We second the motion. Fire.— At Middletown,Dauphin coun ty, on Saturday morning tho 25th ult., between the hours of 2 ami 3 o’clock, the extensive shedding aud stabling attached to Jacob Leiby’a distillery, were totally destroyed by lire. The loss is estimated at between $5,000 and $7,000, on which there is an insurance of $3,800. Tho fire was doubtless the work of an incendiary, as tho distillery was not in operation at the time, aud there was no fir© on tho premises. Burglary.— On Friday night last, some persona entered tho house of Wm. J. Keinert.in North Middleton township, by removing a shutter from one of the lower windows, and lifting the sash ; and stole therefrom five hundred and thirty dollars. The family knew nothing of tho robbery until next morning. Mr., Kolnert is collecting the tax of North Middleton township, and intended in a day or so to pay the amount in hands to tho county treasurer. He offers a re ward of £-j{) for the detection of the thief. • Tableaux.— Some of the young ladies and gentlemen connected with the Sec ond Presbyterian.church, gave an exhi bition of tableauxi at the residence of Judge Hepburn, on Friday evening last, for the benefit of tho organ fund of the the new church. It was a decided success, both in tho character of the representa tions and in a financial point of view. Garden 'Seeds will soon be sing ing, ‘‘Put me In my little bed,” The Bokdeu Damage Bill.—Con siderable Interest is manifested in the Legislature in relation to the passage of the border damage bill.’ Last week Hon. Jeremiah ,S.- Black ami Col. A. K, McClure appeared before the special committee and made lengthy arguments in favor of the passage of the bill. Judge Black prefaced his remarks with the explanation that he was not their coun sel, and had no foe, and would accept none. Ho was firmly convinced, how ever, of the justice of their demand. The duty of the state is to protect her citizens, and, if she fall in that, the citizens have a claim for damages. If that be not the purpose of the state, he .did not know what the state was created for. If Penn sylvania neglected, or was unable or un willing to defend her cUlzeas'at the time of the raid, she is bound to make repar ation now. Falling then, theatate,should repair the damages now, when she Is able. If the state did not at the forma tion of the federal compact, strip herself of the right of self-defense, the duty to defend all heFpeople still exists, and hav ing failed to perform thatduty at the time of the invasion, she is liable to the suf ferers of the border. The people.of a state are partners, and they should bear the misfortunes of war in common. If those adherents of the government in the south who have suffered losses of proper ty at the hands of the insurgents, have a Just claim against their states, then is the , claim of citizens of southern counties so much thostronger against Pennsylvania, The state should pay the debt and de tnand'spayment ol the general govern ment- He had no doubt that the demand would be heeded. As to tho clause of the' constitution which limits an increase of the public debt to $750,000. Judgeßlnck said this ia not an increase but a diminu tion of the debt. This was not creating a debt, but paying phe which already exists. The opinion so ably stated by Judge Black cannot have failed -to make a strong impression on the committee and on other members of the legislature who were present. A. K. M’CJnre, esq.. Tiexfc the committee at "rent length. Ho reviewed the precedents and authorities in favor of tho payment of. these claims. The general government had paid damages of a similar nature in many instances which he cited. Congress had paid the settlers on the frontiers the losses occasioned by Indian ravages. Tho war claims of Mas sachusetts and of Maryland had been paid their citizens by the state legislatures, and tlie general government has refund ed .the entire amount. Such just de mands supported by the power of tho state were never rejected. ButthocTauns. of individual citizens would not bo heard by the government at Washington. The only way was for the.atate to pay her cit izens the losses which they .had sustained, and then rely oh the justice of the na tion. He made eloquent reference to tho ■sacrifices and sufferings'.of the people of the . border counties. He indignantly denounced the flippant and cold-blooded, allusions which had been made concern ing them in a portion of the press of the state. These people demanded justice of their fellow citizens, and made no men dicant appeal to charity. Local Legislation.— Several bills of a local nature buvo been introduced.into the lower house of the Legislature by our member, Mr. Leidig. One of these pro vides for restoring the collection of the taxes to'tho township collectors.— Another provides that “ bummers ,r shal! be committed at hard labor lor thirty days, and reduces the. fees of the sheriff for maintenance. Another repeals a provision of a previous act giving the borough authorities power to appoint viewers in the opening of private aileys and courts. Another incorporating a market company, with authoiUy to-build, ono or more market houses at any place within the borough of Carlisle. The cor. pornlora are Robert Given, Joseph C. Hotter, C. P. Humrieh, Henry Saxion, W. F. Sadler, John Gutshali, George S. Bcetem and W. fv Woods. A Caution to Drawers or Promis sory Notes.— A man drew a note prom ising to pay one hundred dollars. He used a printed form, but did uot'elose the blank devoted to dollars, and after It passed from his hands and became nego tiable paper somebody inserted fifty after the one hundred and before the printed word dollars, making it read one hun dred and fifty dollars. The note thue altered, got into the bands of an innocent party, who presented it to the drawer, but payment was refused. Suit was brought and the Supremo Court decided that the maker of the note was liable for the full face, of the note, because, through negli gence he had not drawn aline between the written word “ hundred" and its printed word “ dollars.” Any testimony the drawer might offer to establish the fact that he gave a note for only one hundred dollars must go for nothing, as •• there was nothing on the facepf the note show ing that it had been altered.” Evidence of an alteration on the face of the note would have changed the case. Wo may furthermore add that the Chief Justice added that such ruling wasdeemod ueces sary to facilitate the circulation of com mercial paper. Tim business men ot the Cumberland Valley are desirous of having a train run from Chnmbersburg to connect with the trains leaving this city for.

A JJoy Drowned.— On Wednesday afternoon a son of Mr. Bowman, aged eight years, of New Cumberland, strayed from bis father, who was plowing) fell into a race and was drowned.

Dear Sir: In the year l.Vtf I was attacked with Dyspepsia. From that time until the year 1&JI I continued gr nving worse, and was reduced from a strong and healthy man to a mere living skeleton, weighing but 1H» pounds. During those four years! had the attention of the moat celebrated physicians fu New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. I also visited the watering places, and tried every remedy I could hear of for the euro ol Dyspepsia, without ex periencing any relief whatever, and I finally in despair gave up all hope of being cured, and re turned homo with the feeling that death alone could allovlato my sufferings. In this extremi ty; at the urgent solicitation of my wife, I began the use of“HOOFijAND‘S GERMAN BITTERS.” although with uo more faith la its efficacy than I had In preparations previously tried.
