THE HEROINE OF WHEELING. Though we may sing of and tell about the hardy and true men who fought so bravely and suffered so.greatly to estab lish the principles of that Government un der which we now exist, we must not for get those heroic women who, as mothers and wives, sent forth with cheering words their sons and husbands to the battle fields of strife, or as sisters aided to clothe and equiptheir brothers. Their aching hearts werd sileht, their burning tears were washed away, as with smiles they embra ced them at'partingV and with high words -- —~ of trustful faith, like the w'otnen of Sparta, - bade them turn no'back on the conquering __ foe. _ .The records of all ages bear no slight testimony to the devoted courage of •.. . women, and were our history’more per - fectly hnown, instances of. female courage -■ would'befdund td parallel the"mOßt won - - - dayful of ancient chronicles.. We have .. j now to record an act performed by a young •' f ■ woman during our revolutionary struggle, which, for nerve and desperateness, is ; is scarcely to be matched: In the year 1778, Wheeling* Virginia, was besieged by a large force of British ■:and Indians, At this time the Fort, with an insufficient force, was under the com mand of Col. Silas Zane, a brave and mer itorious officer. Distant from this about eighty yards, and outside the walls, was situated a-block house, in ; which was Col. v ; Ebenezer Zane, a brother of Silas, and the senior officer, with a few men. There . were several women in the fort, and among '■ them at the time was Elizabeth Zane, a sister of the Colonel. She was a young woman of extraordinary beauty, haviDg a tall and finely formed figure, with a head like Juno; a black eye, mild and firm in its expression; and voice soft and musical as a flute ,- and with an expression ofcoun tenance as bland as an Italian sky, though beneath it might slumber passion as warm as the fires of Vesuvius. It may be sup posed that many a soldier’s eye-followed her wishfully, as in days of quiet she . roamed about the Fort, or strolled for a ~'T' ' walk with one of her brothers.i Many a , - proposal had been made for her in vain. Officers of high rank had sued for her, and - many a gallant , enterprise had been under , . taken in her name, but all to no effect so far as- winning her affections went. She was not one of those light witted women, ■ to be caught by fine show and fine’ profes sions. As far as her heart went she placed no difference between high-nodding plumes ... and the last man in the rank—the last man i not the least. She was about that age when -young women are most- apt to be caught by fine compliments or dashing ap . pearances; but plain and direct in her . manner, it was her study to give no en couragement to the attention of her nu merous suitors. Yet from this descrip • tion the reader must not infer that she was not susceptible to the soft passion of love. Far from it, for her troth was at that time plighted; nor could the most ambitious thought in the world have tempted her to Swerve from the sanctity of vows made to the lover of her choice—made, as all lov ers’oaths, are, in the quiet eveniug hour, and witnessed by the : moon, that lovers’ planet, “ all the starry hosts of heaven.” r, Among the soldiers in . the Fort at the time, none was a greater favorite with the officers and men than Ashley Harper.— . 'Bold, adventurous and generous almost to . h fault, no hazardous expedition was pro jected in which he was not always ready to volunteer; and many a desperate ad ■ Venture, and many a forlorn hope had seen him! face the savage foe with odds against • him; and while powder-flashed and bayo nets gleamed, he was sure to be found in the-hottest of the- fray.' ;On two occasions had he saved the life, of his superior offi ! cer, when the uplifted tomahawk glittered with the fearful expectation of its victim’s - blood. He enlisted in the service a year .previous as a private; and though promo tion to the rank of a non-commissioned of ficer had been offered him, on account of . his pood qualities as a soldier, and his in r ’ “ telugence as: a man; he had refused its ac ceptance, declaring that, as desire 'was to serve hiscountry, he was willing to . serve through the wars' as a private, leave '. ingall conditions above that to soldiers more competent and more ambitious. He was the son of a respectable farmer, whose : industry had enabled him to raise up and educate a large family; a man of severe discipline; whose watchful eye detected youthful fault in time to prevent their ma taring to crimes. He. had been . mtimate With the family of the Zanes, and when ABhley expressed a desire to cnlist, the old man easily prevailed on Col. Silas to en roll him among his own men. Wow-we will not pretend to say that there had been any particular understand ing between Miss Elizabeth and the young . - gentleman above spoken of, previous to his becoming a soldier, though such a thing " might possibly, have been in a mute way. Verbal declarations certainly had not been ' made; for an owl told how one moonlight _ : evening, while he was sitting in the. shady hranchesofa chestnut that stood butafew yards from the Fort, •Considering as well he mighty -V V. . Ways Bndmeaniior E.fixipper tiiavnight,” . V.. he looked about with a solemn scowl, and , beheld, coming from the shadow of the Fort, a lover and his mistress; he knew it ■ : l Was a : lover' smd his mistress,'they spoke so tenderly to one another. They came out from the Fort so stealth ily and stole softly over the green sward - to the foot of the chestnut, and sitting'down : upon the gnarled roots,.said kind-things, utteredsacred vows, and breathed fervent sighs one to the other. They sat there an ■ hourr-a good hour by the march of Sat . Urn, talking and sighing all . the while, when, calling upon all the stars to witness , - their oaths, and sealing, their vows with a . kiss,;tha^retired. It was but a short time after this occur , rence that thasiege of Wheeling, Was com menced by the British and Indians^^tei.al- - though theplacewasdefendedwftTT^zeal and an unlimited amount of courage, the , hopes bfthe besieged grew somewhat dim as they looked forth- upon the masses that surrounded them. A scarcity of provis iocs.was not what alarmed them, for of ' those af present they had a sufficient shp - ply;.biit-alann became almost consterna tion when it was mhoim^ day of the siege, that their powder was short. Severaldesperate assaults had been made by the enemy to break into the Fort, but Col. Zane and his men repulsed and drove them back as vigorously as they as saulted. The Indians on two or three oc casions attempted the destruction of the ■ Fort and block-house by fire; but iq egch JjPWS'SKi?. ■>:: or*. - ■■"••<,V' ’ ■•>■:• !a* y ~..- „< >' '■- a •: :: y *=:•■•---=-•- : *- * - a ■ '- .

But ultimately those in the Fort began to fail in their hopes of successful defence, when the word passed ' around that they were in the possession of a few charges of powder only.. There was an abundant supply in the block house, which had been prevented from moving by the sud denness of the assault; but how was it to be gotten now? Surrounded by the most inveterate foes, what possible method could be adopted to procure them a supply of ammunition? Their condition must be known to the enemy the moment their fire slackened,; and they could easily be des troyed vvithout the least show of defence. iHorning JJOO I. L. HARPER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

To busi ness men it affords an excellent medium for Advertising and being the only Democratic paper issued in Alleghe ny county, it goes into the hands of a class of readers reached by no other paper. Advertisers will -be good enough to bear this in mind. The Allegheny River Trade, Below we copy from the American, of Satur day, a detailed statement of the products of the Allegheny river trade—which arrives at and pas ses Pittsburgh—by which it will be seen that the annual productions of Iron, Lumber, &c.,&c., ex ceed four millions,of dollars, and we are assured that the aggregate amount is not over estimated. When we reflect that the present territory embra ced in this estimate, does not exceed eight coun ties of the North Western part of the State, to wit: McKean, and a portion of Potter, Warren, Elk, Venango, Clarion, Jefferson and and with no other means of transportation than the semi-annual floods of the Allegheny and its tributaries, we may well expect that with the ditional facilities of Plank and Rail Roads, now in contemplation by the industrious population of that section, the trade will soon be doubled or quadrupled. We are led to these remarks from the fact that the detailed amount far exceeds all our calculations. The statistics given below are very interesting and valuable to the business men of this commu nity. They show, at a glance, the importance of securing to Pittsburgh a speedy and safe commu nication with the region of country at the bead of the Allegheny. The Convention to be held at Keimersburg, Clarion county, on the 22nd inst, will no doubt be attended with good results, and we trust a large delegation will be in attendance from this city. ' We have been furnished from the most authen tic sources with the details of the Allegheny River trade, the product of but a portion of the northern part of this State—and from the detailed state ment in our hands we are well convinced that the value is not over rated. Of the Lumber that is annually floated down the Allegheny to Pittsburgh, and to towns below, a considerable share is cut on or near the banks of the Allegheny River, but the greater share is from its tributaries, spreading through a large area of country. The Conewaugo and its branches an nually produce over 25,000,000 feet of boards; while the Brokenstraw, Tionesta and Clarion aw erage about 15,000,000 each. Then comes the Osway and Honeoye, Big Valley, Tunungwant, Red Bank and Mahoning—all of importance. The Iron business. forms another important branch of the trade of,the Allegheny. Of this we have equally reliable and authentic accounts. The number of charcoal blast furnaces on the waters of this river are 63—of which there is in Armstrong 11; Butler, 6; Ciariop, 28; and Ve nango, 18. -The actual products of these furnaces in 1850 was 43,000 tons, but their capacity for production is 58,000 tons. In times of fair de mand we may safely calculate„on a supply from these of 50,000 tons, which, at" an average price of the last ten years, $26, is. $1,300,000 Exclusive of this are the Brady’s Bend Iron Works, whose annual product in railroad, bar iron, nails, &c., &c., is in value. 500,000 A Rolling Mill and Nail Factory at Franklin 100,000 A Rolling Mill and Nail Factory at Kit tanning 380,000 Forges, Foundries, aod other establish ments not enumerated 60,000 $2,230,000 This enumeration, It will be noted, does hot in clude any of the Furnaces in Cambria, Westmore land, &c., whose product comes here by canal; or those in Mercer county, which comes by way of Beaver and the Ohio. ' We subjoin a synopsis of the Lumber trade from the details of the, account furnished us.—- There are upwards of 400 Saw Mills in operation, producing 150,000,000 feet sawed Lumber, sales average $lO per 1000 feet .’ $1,500,000 15,000,000. cubic feet Timber, sales av- erage 6d. per foot . 90,000 55,000,000 Shingles at $2,25 per M 123,750 500 largest size Elatboats, from Clarion River, average $l2O each 60,000 500 smaller class Flatboats from French Creek, Oil Creek, Red Bank and Ma honing, average $6O each. 30,000 Staveß, Heading, Hoop Poles, Molasses, Flour, Whißkey barrels and Wagon stnfT. .- 40,000 Manufactured articles of work, such as Buckets, Scythe Sneaths,.Grain Cra dles, &e..... 10,000 The arrivals in Flat Boats, of Potatoes, Hay, Wheat, Rye, Oats, Buckwheat, and Corn „ 30,000 $1,883,750 The greater portion of the Lumber is run be* low- Pittsburgh to supply the vast and extended Valley of the Ohio River, while an immense re turn, in the shape of Cash and Bills, are subset vient to the trade of Pittsburgh, for Merchandize, Flour,-Bacon; Iron,[and other Pittsburgh manufac tores.-’ v ' It will be seen by this statement that the pro> ceeds of the forests alone furnish an immense trade to the City of Pittsburgh—while the whole, or nearly so, of the Iron is purchased for Rolling •Mills and Foundries within the City. We presume there are many of bur citizens who are not pre* pared for so large a statement, or aware of the ex tent and importance of the Allegheny River trade. While that whole portion of the State has been neglected in a great measure, and while the fbs% ..y : [conclusion to-morrow.] PITTSBU RG H AT READING, AT HARRISBURG, To Advertisers* F.rcm the American of Saturday. tering aid of the Commonwealth has been so lib* erally bestowed on less worthy objects, it is now fast becoming the most inlereotiiig, as well as pro ductive part of Pennsylvania. It only requires greater facilities of ingress and egress to its mines and forests, by opening a communication byKail road or otherwise, with the New York'improve, ments, across the table lands, admitting' low grades, and following the valleys of almost,either tributary of the Allegheny to Pittsburgh. Of this the energetic population of that section are aware, and measures are in progress to consummate the work. But the cities of New York and Pitta, burgh are as; much interested as the country through which the road or improvement passes, while it opens to New York a direct route to the Ohio river, and the inexhaustible beds of coal in the border counties of Pennsylvania, it insures to Pittsburgh a larger outlet for the sale of her manu. factures than her pretent trade with tht whole State of Ohio. • . The Convention to be holden ail Reimersburg, Clarion co., on -the 22d of February, should & welt attended by influence sbonld be exerted; and we would suggest that a farther convention be held at Harrisburg, or some other central point easy of access, as early as con venient, inviting the New Yorkers to participate.
