i Having been various and contradictory- reports
concerning thetragic fateof'iny fatherand the at?
tendant circilmstancesy I have thought it beat to
perform thepainful task of giving you some tacts,
in reference thereto, which may be rehedupon:^
: Near three years ago, four negroes, between tbe
- ages' ! of nineteen and twenty-two, fled fro y
father’s, in Baltimore nineteen miles ir^u
the These neg .
• to be free at the age of twenty-eight,jin
vthey knew.. It had come to the
.father that they had sold wheat, st „ f
- ito:a free negro. A ■warrant.was go ‘ a .j.
; . reB t of the iree negro/which, coming to the ears ot
to find them, and assure them that if they would
i come home nnd behave themselves nothing would
be said to them about their theft. They were found,
- but did not return. , -
After having carefully .provided the necessary
vouchers and papers, Attended by a deputy mar
shal and-two : constables from Philadelphia, my
father, his son; (Dibkinson,)his nephew,(Dr.Thos.
T. G. Pearce,) Joshua Gorsuch, Nathan Nelson and
■NicholasHiitchLns, set out on the firstoflast week
for the sceoe of intended arrest. The plan was to
arrest the fugitives on Wednesday morning, but
this plan was frustrated by the non-appearance of
the deputy marshal, who had the authority and the
papers. Both the city constables returned to,the
•city, with the understanding that they were to come
‘ back at night with the new warrants—one of them
having been deputed to act as marshal. The de
linquent marshal made his appearance on wednesr
day morning about nine o’clock, urging as an ex* |
•cuse for his failure that he had been followed by a
negro, whom he knew to be a spy. In endeavoring
-to elude his pursuit and prevent the discovery of
his posse, by rapid driving, he broke'his wagon.
It was then agreed that they would attempt the
arrest-on Thursday morning, strengthened by the
! constables, whom they expected to return on Wed
nfesday night —but these did not return. •
Deputy Marshal Henry H. Kline, and the five
gentlemen in company with my father, reached the •
house where two of the runaways were supposed
to jive, iust about morning dawn. This, house
‘ stands near the heacb'of the Great Valley, in Lan
caster county, about two miles from the village ot
Christiana. The valley here is about three quar
ters of a mile broad, quite trough-like in shape,
and bordered with wood. ‘Across this valley runs
a narrow , rough lane. About 150’yards from the
southern border of the valley, and one hundred
yards from the lane that crosses it, stands the house
of the fugitive, connected with the large lane by
a short lane twelve leet wide. As this party, at
this early hour, were proceeding -along, the lane
that crosses the valley, and near the house, one of
the negroes, who was recognized as Nolson, came
to the mouth of the short Jane, and .upon seeing
these men, ran towards the house, all the party .in
full.chase. The negro barely made his escape.
One man was stationed at each corner of the house
to guard the windows. The house is two stories
in height, and the negroes were all up stairs.
The Marshal and my father entered the house.
Mr. Kline asked for the owner of the house; told
'them he was an United States Marshal, and that
he came for the purpose of arresting Mr. Gorsuch’s
slaves, Nelson and Josh. He then read to them
the warrants, and while doing this, he heard them
loading their guns up stairs. The Marshal and my
father started both together to go up stairs, the
latter having first called to Nelson that he saw
' him, and told him that if he would come down
peaceably and go home v/ith him, he would treat
him as kindly as before he ran away. Resistance
he said, would do no good, for he came with the
.proper officer and authority, and he would not leave
the premises without his property. While they
were on the steps and intending to prQceed,one ot
the negroes struck at them with a staff shod with
Sharp iron. My father then turned and went outot
the door. Just as he.got out a gun was fired at his
head from one of the windows, but the aim was
too high. The Marshal coming out just behind him,
-fired his pistol in the window. Again they went
in, and starling to go to the upsteps, aii axe was
thrown down at them, which, however, passed
harmlessly by them. In this way a little skirmish
ing was kept up between the negroes at the win
dows and the young men outside, and between
those at the head of the steps and the two men in
the house. v.
Duiing this period the warrants were read three
times, the Jaw was explained, lliey were advised
and entreated to give up the two slaves, anu as
sured that the arrests would be made even it blood
must he shed. A missile had been thrown out ol
the window and had wounded Pearce in the head;
he had attempted to shoot, but the cap only ex
ploded. At last they gave the negroes a definite,
time to decide ; the watch washeld, but belore the
time expired a white man rode up to the bars in the
lane. His presence inspired-the blacks ; they im
mediately raised a shout and'became confirmed in ;
their opposition. When thej marshal saw-the man j
at the bars, he went to him, and called on him in
the name of the United States, to assist in arresting
the fugitives, showing his - warrant, reading his
authority, and telling him the inevitable conse
quence of refusal. Another white man was also
present during this conversation. The reply was,
that he would not assist; and that they had better
go home, for they could make no arrests there, or
blood would be spilt.
Before, during, and after the conversation with
this man at the bars, negroes were arriving from
every quarter, so/he on horseback and others on
foot, armed with guns, pistols, clubs, corn-cutters,
&c. They seemed to be scattered all around upon
the first of their arrival, but most of them were
gathered in knots near the place where the white
man on horseback and the marshal were talking,
engaged in loading theiif guns. At the close of the
conference, the marshal called.to his party to retire,
saying that he would not press the arrest farther,
and that he would hold this man responsible for the
property. Then the marshal and two of the-young
men left. My. father was then near the house, his
son, Pearce, and Joshua Gorsuch, not far from him,
still guarding the *house to keep the slaves from
Just as the marshal and the two young
men left, the Quaker on the horse said something
to the negroes that had assembled near him, when
they 6et up a most hideous yell*and rushed towards
the house, the negroes in the house at the same
time rushing out, and whooping like .s ava g es > met
the advancing gang around my father. They were
four men, all armed with pistols, it is true, opposed
to about one hundred infuriated, blood-thirsty,
howling demons. s As soon as these two gangs met
in the narrow lane, the attack was made upon the
diminished band by a negro from behind striking
my father on the head, which caused'him. to fall
forward on hia knees, when he was shot several
times and cut over the head with corn-cutters.
When the young men near him saw him fall,
Dickinson and Joshua ran to him and discharged
6 their pistols into the crowd .that was murdering
him, Pearce having been cut off from them by the
negroes who advanced from the bars. As Dickin
son was shooting immediately over his father, his
revolver was knocked out of his hand by aiclub
striking him upon the arm, near the wrist. Then
a negro shot him in the right side and arm, lodging
more than seventy large shot in him. The negroes
were whooping and yelling with savage glee over
their victim, and the son, nephew and cousin start
ed, to save their, lives. escaped from this
narrow lane, the scene ol the awful conflict, into
the longer lane that extends across the valley and
the woods on either side. Dickisson, staggering
under the stunning effects of his wounds, blood
giishing from his mouth and streaming from his
arm and side, took the southern end of the lane,
and, in a distance of a reached the
edge of the wood, falling down by a large stump,
exhausted. Some of the fiends followed and would
have most cruelly murdered him, but an old ne
gro, who had been, in the affray, threw himself
over his body and called upon them for God’s sake
to assist him, for he would soon die any how.
Dr. Pearce and Joshua Gorsuch took the otherend
of the lane, leading to the woods on the other side
of the Valley, which were more than half a mile
distant.' Pearce kept the lane, and after him rushed
the whole band of negroes, shouting and shooting
' every jump, a distance ot three hundred yards. In
h» flight he overtook the Quaker on the horse, and
strove to keep him between himself and his pursu
ers, to which course he ascribes the salvation ofhis
life. At the distance of half a mile from the
negroes’ house, he reached a dwelling, and bolting
in asked two ladies, who were then the only per
• sons whom he saw in the house, to protect him.
They expressed fear lest the negroes might come
and find him there, and kill them for concealing
him. He told them he would not expose them to
danger then; and turned to go out, when they con
sented to conceal him. Soon his infuriated pur
suers came to the house and asked-if he was not
.' there. They were told that some one had gone past,
and they kept on to the woods, which they searched
and guarded until late al night, to find and to butch
er theirdesired victim.
Joshua Gorsuch', who had received a violent
blow on the • head when by my father, was rather
later in starting, and ran obliquely from the house
to the lane, reaching it in advance
Him they overtook and beat .over the head with
clubs, until it-was supposed they had' killed him;
but he got up and went up the lane far as he.
could. .One negro, who had chased Pearce farther
*.. than the rest, as he was returning, struck him
(Gorsuch) over the head with a club. At last he
reached the woods, completely crazed by the bio ws
he had received. ' There fie was found by the Mar
shal and taken to a place of safety.
.. Dickinson did not lie long before some gentlemen
came and carefully removed him to Mr. Levi Pow

Earthqnalte near Naples.
A letter, dated Naples 24, August, directed to the
Baltimore American, gives .the following ‘particu
lars of. the late earthquake in* that region:
“1 have received several details relative the
dreadful disaster Which occurred on the 14th inst.,
in the provinces,of Baiilicara, in this kingdom and
aboutone hundred miles from the capital. A list
of more than fifty villages is given; in which greater
or less damage was done; in more than one place
the principal buildings have been destroyed, and in
all several lives have been lost amid the ruins of
fallen houses. The greatest sufferer, however, was
the town of Melfi, a place containing 10,000 inhab
itants 5 three-quarters of thgcity are a-mass of ruins
the Archbishop’s Palace, the Municipality, the
College, the Barracks and the Police Station, have
: all been levelled to the ground. The known deaths;
amount already to 700 besides 200 wounded, among
whom the principal families count victims. ,
“ I have not time this morning to give all the mi
nute details, but it is sufficient to say that a rich
and populous district has been completely destroyed,
and the loss oflife has been immense. Itdoes not
appear the ground opened, but all. the injury was
done by the houses falling from the repeated shocks
ofthe earthquake, the rapidity of which was such
that the persons in the houses and passing in the
streets had.not time to escape. The King, on re
ceiving this dreadful news, immediately ordered a
sum of 4,000 ducats to"be sent from his-private
pursfe, to which the Queen added 2 000, in uddition
to the sum of ducat6 contributed out of the
Treasury. Temporary hospitals have been'put
and sappers and miners have been sent to different
places to assist in clearing away the ruins and
disinterring the unfortunate victims. Subscriptions
have been opened in the towns near to the place
where the catastrophe occurred, and the charity of
he city of Naples will not be deficient. 55

SAMJIfi B. HAINES’ 1 NEW AND IMPROVED
Horse Power,
NOW being; manufactured at the shop of the
undersigned in East King Street, Lancaster.
This cheap andi simply constructed Horse Power
excels any others now in; use—and more easily
operated, and cannot be put out of gear.
It is a single i conical Wheel Horse Power with
four Levers, to be operated by four or [eight horses.
The bed framd is solid and firmly prevents the
gearing from getting out of order, and no danger
of breakage. !
The master [wheel is cone shaped, having the
teeth or cogs on the underside, and thelever loops
cast solid with; the wtoel., The levers are firmly
set into boxes in the hub of the wheel, and secured .
by rods extending to each lever, and regulate the j
easy motion oflthe master wheel, so that the power
ot each horse is regularly divided, and the wheel
is prevented from jarring by the sudden starting of
the horsel The bed frame is 'composed of two
solid plank forming right angles by being halved
together at their centres. The bed plate is formed
of a solid iron casting, having a cone shape pivot
resting upon the centre of the bed frame and firmly
bolted through. The cone shaped pivot has a
shoulder upon which the master wheel revolves.
Journals or boxes are firmly screwed to the bed
plate and secure the regular horizontal motion of
the main shaft. •
Farmers are; invited to call and* examine the Ma
chines, which are warranted to. purchasers. ,
The undersigned .having spent much time and
trouble in perfecting-this- valuable invention, and
the machine having been fully tested, and applica
tion having been made in March last to secure Let
ters Patent for said Improved-Horse Power: All
persons are hereby duly notified and cautioned not
