AW ORCHARD BONG.
Winter orchards,piled with branches gaunt,
and lichened, stiff and bare,
Slackening to the dreary landscape when

How the robin loves to linger twittering in

Bpring- time orchards,flushed with sunshine,
calling buds to open wide—
Hounded buds, like fairy vases, with the
finest emerald dyed, ,
Shedding perfume to the breezes as they
swing from side to side*
Sommer orchards, white with blossoms,
dropping white flakes all around,
Wafted, oh, so softly, downward, till they
rest without a sound, . .
"With the dewdrops, and the daisies, and
the mosses on the ground.
Autumn orchards, dense with leafage, bow
' ared thickly overhead, .
Whefe the clustering pears and apples ripen

Anrt the chfldren search for windfalls in the

Orchards, orchards, all your lessonß for our

Would our lives bent to God’s finger with

THE MI’BDEIt OF HISS JANE McCREA.
Who Killed Her?
In speaking of Bancroft’s last volume,
the Journal of Commerce argues that
the statement of the historian as to the
famous murder of Jane McCrea, is in
correct. The Journal says:
Probably no event,either in ancientor
modern warfare, has received so many
versions as the killing of. Miss Jane
McCrea, during the revolutionary war.
It has been commemorated in story and
in song, and narrated in grave histories
in as many different ways as there have
been writers upon the subject. As an
incident, merely, of the Revolution, ac
curacy in its relation is not; perhaps, of
much moment. ‘When measured, how
ever, ty its results, it at once assumes
an importance which justifies such an
■ investigation as shall bring out the truth
in all its details. The slaying ofcMiss
McCrea was to the people of New York,
what the battle of Lexington was to the
'X New England colonies. In’each case
the effect was to consolidate the inhabi
tants more firmly against the invader.
The blood of the unfortunate girl was
not shed in vain. From every drop
hundreds of armed yeoman arose; and it
, has been justly said, her name wps passed
as a note of alarm along the banks of the
Hudson, and as a “rallying cry among
the Green Mountains of Vermont,
brought down all their hardy sons.” It
thus contributed to Burgoyne’s defeat,
which became a precursor and principal
cause of National Independence.
On account, therefore, of the impor
tant place which this tragedy occupies
in American history , it was with consid
erable interest that we -looked at this
narration in the ninth volume of Mr.
Bancroft’s work. Knowing that it
would treat of Burgoyne’s campaign—
awarethat historical scholars had, within
latey ears,unearthed material completely
changing the old traditions respecting
this tragedy—it is with surprise that we
find Mr. Bancroft falling into substan
tially the same errors in respect to this
event as some of his predecessors.
The Btory as told by him is, that as
Jane McCrea was on her way from Fort
Edward to meet her lover at the British
camp, under the protection of two In
dians, a quarrel arose between the latter
as to which should have the promised re
ward, when one of them, to terminate
the dispute, “sunk,” as Bancroft ex
fresses it, “his tomahawk into the
rain” of their unfortunate charge. This
version has so often been repeated as to
have become a standing joke among the
inhabitants of Fort Edward and Sandy
Hill—some of whom are the descendants
of the parties involved—and the remark
is often heard upon the revival of the
story—“l want to know if they have
started that story again!”
The correct version of the Jane Mc-
Crea tragedy, gathered from the state
ment made by Mrs. Mac Neal to General
Burgoyne, on the 28th of July, .1777, in
the marquee of her cousin, General Fra
zer, and corroborated by several people
well acquainted with Jane McCrea, and
by whom it was related to Judge Hay,
of Saratoga Springs—a veracious and in
dustrious historian—and taken down
from their lips, is different from the ver
sion given by Mr. Bancroft.
On the morning of the 27th of July,
1777, Miss McCrea and Mrs. Mac Neal
were at the latter’s house in Fort Ed-
ward, preparing to ride down to Colonel
■ McCrea’s ferry, for,the. purpose of going
, to the fort for greater security, as rumors
had been rife of Indians in the vicinity.
While thus engaged, alarmed by the
discharge,of firearms, Mrs. Mac Neal
looked out of the window, and saw a
soldier running along the military road
toward the fort pursued by several In
dians. The soldier, seeing Mrs. Mac-
Neal, waved his hat as a sign of danger,
and pasaed on, which the Indians per-,
ceiving, left oft the pursuit and came
toward tne house. ’ Seeing their inten
tions, Mrs. Mac Neal screamed “Get
down cellar, for your lives I ” On this,
Jane McCrea and a black woman, Eve,
with her infant, retreated safely to the
cellar., but Mrs. Mac Neal was caught on
the stairs by- the Indians, dragged ' back
by the hair by a powerful savage, who
was addressed by his companions as the
“Wyandot Panther.” A search in the
cellar f was then begun; and the result
was .the, discovery only of Jane
McCrea,; who . was brought up
from Jher concealment—the Wyandot
exclaiming, “My squaw; me find urn
keep uin fast now foreber,
ngti!” J x ßy this tiihe the soldier had
arrived atlhe fort; ’ the alarm drum was
beaten: ahd a,party of soldiers started in
pursuit. Alarmed by the noise of the
drum—which they in common with
Mrs. Mac Neal and; Jenny heard—the
Indians hastily lifted: the two women
upon the horses which had been in
waiting to carry them to the fort; and
started off upon the. run. Mrs. Mac Neal,
however, slipped off her horse and Was
carried in the arms of a savage. At this
point Mrs. Mac Neal lost sight of her
companion, who, to use the language of
.M.rs..MacNeal, “was then ahead of me,
firmly seated on the
saddle, and held the rein while several
Indians seemed to guard her—the Wy
andot still ascending the hill and puff
ing along by the bridle-bit the affrighted
home on which poor Jenny rode.” The
Indians, however, w hen half way up the
hill, we, nearly overtaken by the P sol
diery, who at this point began firing.
' At Indians
would fall flat With Mry, Mac Neal,
¥H£ DkILY EVEN!
By the! time the tdp of the Fort
Edward Hill had been gained; not an
Indian was harmed; and one of them
remarked to Mrs. MaoN.“Wagh! am no
kill—am shoot too much high for hit.’l
During the firing, two or three of th®
bullets'of the pursuing party hit Miss
McCrea with fatal effect, who, falling
from her horse, had her scalp torn oft
by her guide, the Wyandot Panther, in
revenge for the loss of the reward given
by Burgoyne for any white prisoner—a
reward considered equal to a barrel of
rum. Her remains were gathered up
by those who would have rescued her,
and buried, under the supervision or
Colonel Morgam Lewis (then Deputy'
Quartermaster General) on bank • of
the creek three miles _ south' of Fort
Edward, and two miles of south of John
McCrea’s farm, which was across
the Hudson, and directly opposite the
principal encampment of General
Schuyler.
;It thus appears, first, that Jane
McCrea waß accidentally killed by the
Americans; - and, secondly, that the
American loyalist (one David Jones)
did not send the Indians on their er
rand.
; The incorrectness of Mr. Bancroft’s
statement in relation to the manner of
the death seems to be clearly proved, not
only by the corroborative statementpf the
Wyandot Panther, when brought into
the presence of. Burgoyne,to the effect
that it was not he, but the enemy, that
killed her,but by the statement of Gen.
Morgan Lewis, afterwards Governor of
this State. His aecount is thus given by
Judge Hay: “Several years after Miss
Tearse had departed this (to her (event
ful life, I conversed (in the hearing of
Mr. David Banks,at his law book store
in New York,) with Gov. Lewis. Mor
gan Lewis then stated his distinet recol
lection that there were three gunshot
wounds on Miss McCrea’s corpse, which,
on the day of her death, was,by direction
of himself,and in fact under his own per
sonalsupervision,removed together with
a subaltern remains,from a hill near Ft.
Edward fo the Three Miles Creek,where
they were interred. The feet of the bullet
wounds, of.which I had not heard be
fore, but which was consistent with
Mrs.Tearse’s statomant,was to me ‘con
firmation strong as proof from Holy
.Writ’ that Jane McCrea had not been
killed exclusively by Indians, who could
have done that deed either withja toma
hawk or scalping knife, and would not,
therefore,be likely (pardon the phrase in
this connection) to have wasted their
ammunition. In that opinion Governor
Lewis, an experienced jurist, if not ge
neral, familiar with rules of evidence,
concurred.
This opinion of two eminent lawyers,
as well as the statement, of the Wyandot
chief, receives additional confirmation
in the fact that when the remains or'
Jane McCrea, a few years since, were
disinterred and removed to the old Fort
Edward burial-ground, Doctor William
S. Norton, a respectable and very intel
ligent practitioner of physic and sur
gery, examined her skull and found no
marks whatever of a cut or a gash. This
fact also affords strong confirmation of
the opinion expressed at the time by
General Frazer at the post-mortem camp
investigation—that Jane McCrea was
accidentally, or rather unintentionally
killed by American troops pursuing the
Indians, and—as General Frazer said he
had often witnessed—aiming too high,
when the mark was on elevated ground,
as had occurred at Bunker’s (Breed’s)
Hill.
The falsity of the. statement that her
lover, Jones, sent the savages on their
mission is also susceptible of proof. The
well-established fact that Jones had
sent Robert Ayers (father-in-law of
Ransom Ceoke, Esq., now living at
Saratoga Springs), with a letter to Miss
McCrea, asking her to visit the British
encampment and {accompany its com
mander-in-chief, with his lady guests,
<on an excursion to Rake George, ciearly
shows how the charge against Joaes
had crept into a Whig accusation con
cerning supposed miscouductaud mean
ness; and the dialogue (also well authen
ticated) between two of her captors, in
relation to the comparative value of a
living white squaw—estimated at a
barrel of rum—and her scalp-look, ac
counts, perhaps, for the story of the pre
tended proffered reward (a barrel of
rum), alleged to have caused the quarrel
among the Indians which resulted in
the supposed catastrophe. All who had
been acquainted with David Jones
knew that he was incapableof such con
duct, and so expressed themselves at the
time.
The rumor, also, which is Blightly
confirmed in Burgoyne’s letter to Gaces,
that Miss McCrea was on her way to an
inJones’s admission that he imd. in
tended, on the arrival of his betrothed at
Skeensborough (Whitehall) to solicit her
consent to their immediate nuptials—
Chaplain Brudenell \ officiating. But
Jones explicitly denied having inti
mated such desire in his letter to Miss
McCrea or otherwise. “Snch,”headded,
“was, without reference to my own sense
of propriety,my dearjanet’s sensibility,
that the indelicacy or this supposed pro
posal would, even under our peculiar
circumstances, have thwarted it,” -In
deed , this question was often a‘ topic of
conversation between General Frazer
and Mrs. MacNeal,who,with Miss Hun
ter (afterwards Mrs. Tearse),accompanied
him from SaratogatoStil water,andonhis
decease returned toFortKd ward after wit
nessingthe surrenderof the British gene
ral. Jonesfrankly admitted to his friends,
that in consequence of the proximity of
tti'e savages to Fort Edward, he had en
gaged several chiefs who had been at
the Bouquet encampment, to keep an
eye upon the fiercer Ottawas, ana per
suade them not to cro3S the Hudson; but
if they could not be deterred from so
doing, his employes were to watch over
the safety of his mother’s residence, and
also that' of Colonel McCrea; For all
which, and in order the better to secure
their fidelity, Jones promised a suitable,
blit unspecified reward —meaning there
by such' trinkets and weapons as were
fitted for Indian traffic, and usually be
stowed upon the aboriginals, whether in
peace or war.
But partisanship was then extremely
bitter, and eagerly Seized the opportunity
thus presented of magnifying a slight
arid false rumorinto a veritable fact,which
was used most successfully in stirringup
the fires of hatred against loyalists in
general, and the family of Jones in par
ticular. The experience of the last; few
years afford fresh illustrations of how
little of partisan asseveration is reliable;
aid there is so much of- the tefribrleih
ciyil war which is indisputably true,
that it is not difficult, nor does itxequire
habitual hiedulity, to; give currency to
falsehood. .
