AVcUsport 15 Ycnrn Ago.
All the motives that imiwllcd the Mora
vian colonists at Gnadoii'IIacttcn to remove
tho Indians who were living in commu
nity with them to tlio east side of tho Le
high ill the spring of 1751, is now lost
in the debris of years. It was said that the
land atOnadenlluetten had becomeso much
impoverished as to necessitate this change.
This must have been a mistake; thero must
have been other reason., paramount to this
for dividing tho Indian and wiiite portions
of tho community. Tho settlement at Ona
don-Huettcn was eminently prosperous, and i
had become nn important trading post; and
besides this, Nathan Dunkle had built n
grist and saw mill on Mahoning creek near
whero Heilman'a mill now stands. But the
times had now become troubulous and wur-
tlireatenlng. Independent of the English
and French war raging on the Susquehanna
there wcro distentions mid bickering among
the Indians themselves, and especially a
feud between the Dclawarcs and the Five
Nations. In the commencement of 175-1, a
young white man having murdered the
peaceable o'd chief Tattemi, that astuto
diplomat and Quaker Indian, Tadcuskund,
was chosen leader and King of the Dcla
warcs. Tadcuskund had been converted
to Christianity and babtised j and his chief
purpose was to preserve nu equilibrium of
peaco between the white colonists and his
own people, nnd.it is likely ho saw in this
peaceful living together of whites and In
dians at Gnadcn-IIuctten a serious cause for
jealousy among tho tribes outside, and so
arranged with Bishop tjpangenberg at Beth
lehem to bring about this separation. And
Ihus was established New Guadcn-IIuetten,
now Weissjiort
In the removal tho Indians were kindly
assisted by the congregations at Bethlehem,
Nazareth, Clirislianbrunn, and Gnadenthal
who furnished not only workmen and ma
terials, but even contributions in money.
Unanimity and diligence contributed so
much towards tho progress of tills work,
that tho first twenty houses were inhabited
by the 4th, and the foundation stono of the
new chajiel laid on the 11th of Juno. Bish
op Spangcnbcrg offered up a most fervent
praycr.nnd delivered a powerful discourse on
this solemn occasion. The houses were soon
after completed, and a regulation made in
nil tho families, for tho children, of each
sex, to be projierly taken caro of. Tho
dwellings were placed in such order that
the Mohegans lived on one sideof tho street
aud tho Delaware's on the other side. The
bretbern at Bethlehem took tho culture of
the old land on tho Uahoning, ujion them
selves, made a plantation of it for the use of
Ihe Indian congregation, and converted the

care of the plantations, and for missionaries
passing on their visits to tho heathen. A
synod was held In New Gnadeu-IIubttcii,
from the Cth to the 11th of August, 1751,
and tlio chapel consecrjtcl. Many Indian j
assistants were invited to this synod, the
chief intention being maturely to consider
the situation of the Indian mission,
But dospito these efforts, as described
in our article last wock, French emissaries
incited a massjcroalGuadoit-Huetten on Ihe
24th of Nov. in the following year, which,
for the nounie set at naught Tadeuskund's
pacific policy, "let slip the dogs of war," and
converted tho northwestern frontier into a
scene of bloodshed and destruction. With
a force of 120 men Benjamin Franklin, by
comuilMion from the Governor of the I'eun
sylvain colony came to assist tho distressed
people of Gnaden-IIuelten, In hisautobicw
graphy Franklin describes his march from
Bethlehem through the mm, tho night spent
at Uplinger's farm near Lebigh Gap, bis ar
rival hereon the afternoon of tho ISth of
January, 1750, and bis subsequent building
of Fort Allen. He says i
"The next day being falf, we continued
our inarch, and arrived at the desolated
Gnaden-IIuelten. 'mere was a mm near,
round which were left several pine boards,
with which we soon hutted ouiselvesj an
operation the more necessary at that iacle-,
ment season, as we had no tents. The next
morning our fo't was planned and marked
out, the circumference measuring four hun
dred and fifty-five feet.wbieh would requ1,re
as many palisades lo be made, one with an
other, of a fAiot diameter each. Our axes, of
which wo had seventy, were immediately
set to work to rut down trees) and, our men
being dexterous in the use of them, great
dispatch was made. Each pine made three
rial i sad a of eighteen feet long, pointed at
ono end. Whilo these were preparing, our
other men dug a trench all round, of three
feet deep, in which the palisades were to bo
planted and, the bodice being taken off
our wagons, and the fore and hind wheels
separated by taking out the pin which unit"
ed the two parts of the perch, we had ton
carriage, with two horses each, to bring
the palisades from the woods to the sjt.
When they were set un, our carpenters built
a platform of boards all round within, about
nx feet high, for the men U sUnd ou when
to tire through the loopnoiea. no mu
swivel gun, which we mounted on one of
, the angles, and fired it as oon as fixed, to
' let the Indiann know, it any were within
hearing, that we had such nieces i and thua
our fort, if that name may be given to so1
miserable a slochade, was finished In a week
though It rained so hard every other dy,
that the men could cot work. This
gave me occasion to obserre, that, when men
are employed, tbey are beat contented for
on tbe days they worked tbey were good
natured and cheerful, and, with the con.
sciouiness of baring done a good day'a work,
they spent the erening jollily) but on our
idle days they were mutinous tod quarrel,
some, finding fault with the pork, tho
bread, Ac, and were continually In bad hu
mor) which put me In mind of a sea nap
tain, whose rule it wis (o keep his men con
stantly at work j and, when his mate once
told him thatthcy haddoneererything,and
there was nothing further to employ thrm
about: "N," said he. "make them scour the
anchor." This kind of fort, however con
temptible, Is a sufficient defense against In
dians, who hare no cannon. Finding our
selres now posted securely, and having a
place lo retreat tn on occasion, we ventured
out in parties to scour the adjacent country,
We met with no Indians, but we found the
places on the neighboring hills, where they
had lain to watch our proceedings.
I bad hardly finished this business, and got
my fort well stored with provisions, when I
received a letter from the governor, ac
quainting me, that be had called the As
sembly, and wished my attendance there, If
the puture of affairs on tho frontiers was
such tbat my remaining there was no long
er necessary. My friend. , too, of the As
sembly, pressing me by their letters to be, If
possible, at the meeting; and, my three In
tended forts being now completed, and the
inhabitants contented tn remain on their
farms, under that protection, I resolved to '
return the more willingly, as a New Eng
land officer, Colonel Clapham, experienced
in Indian war being; on a visit to our estab
lishment, consented to accept the command,
I gave him a commission, and, parading
the garison, had it read before them and
introduced him to them as an officer, who
from his skill in military atrairs. was much
more fit to command litem than myself I
and, giving them a little exhortation, took
my leave. I was escorted as far as Beth
lehem, where I rested a few days to recover
from the fatigue I had undergone. The
Prst night, lying in a good bed,Icuuld hard
ly sleep, it was so different Irom iny hard
lodging ou tho floor of a hut at Gnaden
IIuelten, with only a blanket or two."
Fort Allen was so named by Franklin in
honorof hisold friend, Chief-Justice Win.
Allen whoso sou at a later date laid out the
city of Allentown. Immediately on his re
turn to Philadelphia, FratiKlin caused au
additional cannon to be added to the arma
ment of Fort Allen. The fort was a quad
rangle; the two walls running north and
south wcro 100 feet; those east and wc.t
120 feet. At the northeast and southwest
corners were added two angles with loop
hole so constructed as to enable thegarrison,
in ca:a of attack, to enfilade the four sldi s of
tho stockade with tbo two cannon. Inside
tho fort were suitable barracks and an ex
cellent well to supply tho garrison and
others seeking refuge there with shelter and
water.
This fort was ono of a line of frontier de
fenses extending from tho Susquehanna,
near Lancaster, tn Ihe Delaware Water Gap.
The wisdom of Franklin in !ocaling Fort
Allen is characteristic uf the man. It ef
cctually barricaded the Indian trulls up
nnd down the Lehigh ; and In Ihe after
years of Indian atrocities and troubles along
the borders, it is a voucher of the dread they
had of it that they never attacked Fort
Alien, but always gave it a wide berth.
Up to tho building of Fort Allen, efforts
to colon i to that portion of Northampton
county now included within the limits of
Carbon, had been confined to the Morarlan
brethren at Bethlehem, except, perhaps,
a few emigrant from New York who had
taken up farms in the valley of I'oho Poco
creek. But the massacre atGnaden-Htietten
and the continued war-like attitude of the
Indians very much discouraged the colouiita
here, whose houses had been destroyed and
their stock stolen and carried avsy r and a
serious check was this put upon emigration
hither.
In the meantime Tadenskund continued
his misnamed peace-policy with the whltea
and his ceaseless intrigues to retrieve for tho
Dclawarcs the position in the Six Nationi
which the Iniquols had despoiled them of
under Tattemi. His policy, far from bring
ing icacf, fomented continual trouble and
bloodshed along the frontier, while his In
trigues caused his sincerity to bo distrustnl
by tho whites and to be watched by his
own peoplo and envied by neigborins tribes.
He never tired of "kindling the council
fires" with the whiles at Easton; was vain

Tadcuskund could not eseape the fate that
had long been Intended for him. In the
spring of 1783, when the Euro wan nations
had made peace, but the Indiana were still
at war, he was burnt tip, together with his
house, as he was lying lu his bed asleep. A
number of Indians were wilniwea U tho
fact that the house was set on fire from the
outside. Suspicion fell principally upon tbe
Mingoes, who were known to be jealous ol
him, and fearful of his retentmtnt, if he
should succeed in insinuating himself inter
the favor of the English, and making good
terms with them for his nation. His great
est weakness was a fondness for strong
drinks, the temptation of which he could
not easily resist, and would someUmeedrink
to excess. This unfortunate propensity it
supposed to hare been the cause of bis cruel
and untimely death.
