NO. 17, As soon as the news reached Carlisle of the attack on the volunteers who went to the relief of the inhabitants of Tuscsrora and Sherman's valleys, another company of thirty or fnrty men, under command of Sheriff Dunning ami William Lyon, went la "pursuit of the enemy. They surprised a party of fifteen Indians at < the bouse of Alexander Logan, In Shcr nian'e valley. The savages hail murdered Alexander Logan, Ills son, and a man In the employ of Logan, and _ mortally wounded a fourth who died soon after succor arrived; and surprised, a portion of them were frlunderlng the house, and others were shooting down the cattle. The whites surrounded the Upausp,eotJngAnyflgea v aud,attunUed-th6m" with great spirit, closing around them until It became almost a hand to hand conflict, when the Indians broke through the circle and fled to a neighboring thicket, which effectually shielded.them from observation and thus secured their escape, One or two Indians were killed and four or five were supposed to ho mortally wounded. The expedition ro- turned to Carlisle without the loss of a man, bringing in all the horses and oat-, tie that had not been carried off by the Indians, and accompanied by.the inhab itants of Sherman’s valley, Tuscarorn valley and the region of country between Carlisle and the mountain. So univer sal was the panic that in a few days there was not an Inhabited house north of Carlisle, while In Shippeusburg there were over thirteen hundred refugees, lodged in barns and cellars and leaky sheds, for ail the dwelling houses were Ailed to overflowing. meantime Fort Pitt wae sur rounded and out offfrom all communica tion with tbe white settlements, and Col. Bouquet was directed to march to the relief of the, garrison, with military stores and provisions. Orders' were is sued to collect the provisions and the means of transportation at Carlisle, but such was the general demoralization and destitution that when tbe army arrived the terrified Inhabitants had made no provision for Its support. Plantations and crops bad been abandoned, mills wore destroyed, horses had been killed or.driven ofT by the savages, and the roads were filled with flying families destitute of tbe necessarlea’of life. What little provision there was had to be di vided among the fugitives. After eight days, provisions were obtained from the Interior counties, and a sufficient number of horses and wagons impressed.to war rant an onward movement. The entire force under Bnquet did not exceed five hundred effective men, veterans of ap proved courage and resolution, but many of.them infirm in health.and strangers to the woods and the Indian mode of war fare. The frontiersmen had no.confidence in the power of this little army, and de clining to join it as volunteers, they awaited in despondency its defeat, and were busily preparing to abandon the re gion west of the Susquehanna. The In dians received intelligence of tbo ap proach of Bouquet’s forces, ami temporar ily abandoned the siege of Fort Pitt, with the design to attack them on the march, They fell upon his advance guard near Bushy linn, hut were beaten offend pursued some distance. Heavily reinforced, they returned to the attack with renewed vigor, and simultaneously other parties who had lain in ambush, rushed from the woods at either side, and poured a destructive fire upon both flanks. Seeing his little band entirely surrounded* Boquet determined to cut his way to the rear, and after an hour’s stubborn fighting, succeeded in reaching tbe commissary stores, whence his men rallied and drove the Indians everywhere from their position. That night they encamped on the field of battle, placing the wagons and wounded in tho center, while the troops were arranged In a clr oleeucompassiug the whole. They passed a wakeful and anxious night, and the morning was awakened by the shouts and yells of tbe foe, who encircled the camp at a distance of five hundred yards, and endeavored to strike terror Into tbe hearts of tbo troops by their savage de meanor. Boldly attacking the lines, they strove, under an Incessant fire, to pene trate them ; and though frequently re pulsed, they returned to tbe attack with increased desperation. The whites were exhausted by continued service, and were almost famished for. lack of water, but maintained their position. until night, when their brave commander resolved upon a desperate game. Two companies feigned retreat, and two others were placed in ambush by the wayside. The Indians fell into the snare, and abandon ing the woods which had sheltered them advanced intrepidly after the retreating foe, when suddenly the retreating com*? panlea turned upon them and tbe troops in ambush gave them their fall flre/put- ting them to a total rout, and leaving the way open to Fort Pitt.. The loss of the enemy in killed was about sixty. The English lost fifty killed and sixty woun ded, The unexpected success of this expedi tion served to reassure the desponding Inhabitants of the Cumberland Valley.— Many Individuals made every effort to raise a sufficient force to protect the frontier seetlements. , David Scott, of Great Cove, gave his bond to pajl and maintain a scouting party of twenty seven men for three nuutbs, and by a petition presented 16 the Assembly, Hap pears that the settlers had taken into pay anumber of men, accustomed to bunting, enured to hnrdshlpstniid well acquainted witlrihe country. They were resolute fellows, under the command of one who had been a captive with the Indians for several years. They scouted at a cou slderable distance from the settlements, and by despatching messengers, gave the inhabitants timely notice of impending danger. The Assembly also resolved that a force of seven hundred men should lie raised, to ho employed in protecting the frontier inhabitants during the har vcat, or until the next meeting of the Assembly. The second battalion, under command of Col. Armstrong, was sta tioned in Cumberland county, and om tuueed the' following companies Cspl.

Dur ing tho succeeding fall and winter these troops wore continually employed in ranging along tho . western frontier, changing their course almost daily, and never lodging two successive nights in tho same place. -They were poorly sup plied with clothing and cooking utensils, and their sufferings drew forth many an earnest remonstrance from their officers to the provincial authorities. The Spring of 1704 brought with it In creasing difficulties. Tho people who had crowded to Carlisle and Shlppena htirg, were chiefly supported by contri butions from Philadelphia, In' hopes of returning to their plantations early in the spring. Many of them were forced to sell what few cattle they had saved, to support themselves and others ; and many who in the fail had Refused to ap ply for a share in the public contributions, became a burden-on their friends before the winter closed. All bopetf of return ing to theirs plantations were speedily abandoned.. On tho 20th of March, Ag nes Davidson and her child, a year old, Andrew Sims’, a lad fourteen years old ; Margaret ta Stephens, twelve years old, ,4uui-Joseph—Miloheilr’ , three'* , ‘ were made prisoners in the district be* yond Shippeusburg. Savon houses were .burned In the Path Valley. The fami lies saved nothing but their wearing ap parel. and one poor woman, with a babe only two hours old, was compelled to flee for her life. On Monday, March 10th, the savages carried off nine people from within nine miles of Shippeusburg, and ■shot one man through tho body, whom they left lying in a Held. They were pursued unsuccessfully by about one hundred provincials. The houses of Juo. Stewart, Adam Sims, Jus: McCamrrmn, Win. Baird, Jas, Kelley, Stephen Cald well and John Boyd were burned. On Sunday, July 22ud, two or three Indians were seen at Fort London, and on the Wednesday following) a Avoman with child,named Cunningham, passing from her home to a neighbor's house, whs murdered and scalped by the savages j she was then ripped open and the un born child laid beside her. Another woman, named Jamieson, was missing, and was supposed to have been carried off. June 6th, Colonel Armstrong writes to Gov. Penn : “ Yesterday morning thir teen persons were killed, and several houses burned to the ground, about four miles south of Fort Loudon. A number of tho inhabitants and provincials are endeavoring to make out the tracks of the enemy, and are nowin pursuit, but at this season of the year have but a small chance of success. By burning the houses. the Indians intend to lay as much of the country waste as they can. The summer opens with a dismal aspect before us. I shall be obliged to bring the troops entirely on this side of the moun tain, and for some time.give up those settlements on, tbe other side, aud as we; are not able to protect one half the peo pie. How this country will make a stand, or their crops be saved, is not easy to de vise. They are running to me from ev ery quarter for help.” Three miles north of the present town of, Greencastl©,. on the brow of a steep and romantic hill, stood a log school house. In front of It there was a deep ravine, overgrown with hiierwood ; on the north and west the hills were cover ed with a dense forest ; while at the foot of the hill there Issued a cl ear and spark-, ding spring. Tho “master” was an old gentleman named Brown, and to his care the people of that vicinity commit ted the training of thpir children. On the morning of July 20th (1704) two o( the boys informed tho teacher that on their way to school they had seen several Indians; butlie regarded the tale as the idle fancy of a timid child, and directed the scholars to prepare their lessons. Soon afterwards two Indians and a half grown Indian boy appeared at the door. Their menacing manner soon convinced the master that they were bent on mur der, and he.implored them to take his life If they wished, but to spare the little children; hut they disregarded his appeals, and while the two! larger Indians stood at the door to prevent the escape of any, the hoy entered the.house and killed the master and ten of the scholars, after which the whole of them were scalped. Some hours after the bloody massacre, one of the neighbors passing by; and hearing no noise in the school, went in and thelre saw the master dead and scalped, with his blble under his arm, and ten of the children lying dead in pools of their own blood. On© of the scholars, Archibald McCullough, though severely wounded and scalped and left for dead, had by that time sufficiently lecovered to relate what had occurred. Three of the scholars were named Taylor, Hart and Hale, and two others were children of an unhappy man who had four others carried off by the savages a few years before. The alarm was given and a party at once set out from McDowell’s mill under Capt. Potter, on the track of the Indiana, but were un successful. As *a femarkable confirma tion of this narrative, John McCullough, who was ,a prisoner among the.Xndians relates that “ three Indians, with whom I was well acquainted, wont to the neigh borhood from which I had been taken.— They were young fellows, ndne of them more than twenty years of age.- They came to a school house, where they mur dered and scalped the master and all the scholars except onp, who survived ; a boy ten yeora of age, a full cousin of mine. I saw the Indians when they returned with the scalps, and soma the old In dians were very much displeased at them for klllingsb many children; and Neepaughweese, an. old chief or half king; said it was cowardice to-slay chil dren.” On the 4th of August, 1843, a number of gentleman’ went to the place where tradition said the bodies of the murdered victims were buried, at the font of the hill, near the spring. After the murder was discovered—so ran the story—the teacher and scholars were placed in a large, rudely-constructed hox, ail’d hurl ed in the same grave., After digging to the depth of four or five feet, tills com mittee of investigation found some rot ten wood and several rusty nails of an cient construction; and niter going down a little farther, part of a small skeleton was found.. The bones were much de cayed, and when the skull was handled If crumbled Into dust- By its side they discovered the skeleton of a full grown man, by the side of which lay several metal buttons and an iron tobacco box.- Then several smaller skeletons were found, lying alternately with feet and heads in -opposite directions. At that time someof theremalna of the old school house still existed. Ou a quiet Sabbath afternoon In Aug ust, a young girl, daughter of James Dysert. who resided about twelve miles above Carlisle, was going home from Diviue Service at the Big Spring church, when she was overtaken by a party of savages, was murdered and scalped, and ■ left naked by the wayside. There was something so startling In this outrage, perpetrated in tho imldst of a thickly settled community, that the greatest consternation once more prevailed, and many of those who had returned to their homes again fled to Carlisle for safety. Carlisle Barracks discontinued. —Some tirhq last fall orders were Issued from the War Department, removing the general cavalry recruiting station from Carlisle to Jefferson barracks at St. Louis, and making this post a sub-depot for the Eastern States. This action of the government created considerable excite ment among business men and others in our community) for this had been a mili tary post ever since the Revolutionary war, and the garrison bad come to be re garded as due of the fixtures of the (own. A petition was signed by a number of, citizens, praying the War Department lo revoke the order, "but we are not aware that any notice was taken of itl A re cent despatch from Washington states that “ a genera! order from the War De partmeufdiscoutluues the Carlisle bnr* 4 racks, Pennsylvania, as a. sub depot for the mounted recruiting service. Theperma will be trauslerred lo Bt. Loins arsenal, Missouri, and turned over to the superin tendent of the cavalry service. Burgeon Wright, and the ordinance sergeant on duty at the sub depot will remain uuill further orders, the latter taking'charge of the public buildings.” From this despatch It is evident that tbo post*at this place is to be eutirely discontinued. Wbat reason there may be for the removal wo are unable to con jecture. Since the war, the government has rebuilt the quarters foivoffleers and men nt a considerable expense, and. the location is one of the most delightful and bea\thy 111 the country. It is surely poor economy to abandon such quarters as these, and build others in the west at an additional expense. Du. Schoeppe’s Case.— A memorial has been presented to the Legislature by tbe counsel of Dr. Sohoeppe, setting forth that the January number of the American Journal of the Medical Sciences contains a contribution from Dr. J. J. Reese, of the University of Pennsylvania; giving the result of a series of interesting expe riments having reference to the antagon ism of various poisons, especially of the proposed antagonism of prussic add and morphia, which was the theory of tbe Commonwealth on the trial of Doctor Schpeppe. The result bf the Professor's experiments was that morphia will not retard the action of prussic acid; aud the counsel claim that this after-discovered evidence throws new light upon impor tant circumstances of tjie case which hitherto remained unexplained, and con clude with, this appeal: “ Will you per mit this man to suffer all hia life long, because there happens to be at present no Court invested with power to. review the many irregularities of his trial and to hear additional and after-discovered evi dence in tbe case? As it stands now, the time for any further legal proceedings in the ease of Dr. Schoeppe has expifed- His only hope of everseeingjustlce done him in hia misery lies with your honor able body. There is no other way, by which tbe unfortunate man coulcl obtain his right, than by a special Act of As sembly, by which" the Supreme Court is empowered to review both -the law ami the evidence, and to hear additional and after-dUcoyered evidence in this case : and we most earnestly pray you, that you willconferthis boon upon your respectful petitioner, our clients Jlightis right , and wrong is wrong, whether It concerns tho man of wealth ami high standing in the land, or the poor and lowest beggar in the country < In this case a great wrong has been, perpetrated.

We learn from private sources that some burglars entered the Gettysburg’Bank yon Friday or Saturday evening last and being discovered, a party went in pursuit/whp overtook the sup posed burglars in York county. One of the men in pursuit was a police officer, Who had in bis possession a photograph of tbe supposed murderer of Nathans tn New York, and this picture bears a strik ing likeness to one of tho captured par ties.' He was committed to York jail, aud some of tbe New York detectives were telegraphed for. true or not, tho story will at least serye as a seusa tion. ' ;•¥’ Josbph Whistler, of New Cumber berland, was serloifety injured at thesteel works at Baldwin, on Tuesday morning, by being struck under the chin by a heavy ibver, knocking him back against a quantity of iron.
