Braddock amved in Virginia in,April 1755, and ai once, in oonnootion with th 4 Governors of tho Colonies determined to, cornu* *nce operations; and of tho three expeditions tb ,n agreed upon, ho re paired to lead the one against Fort-Du Quesno ia his own person. • ■ ■ 'Ab already stated, the number of his forces amounted to 1200 men, a large proportion of whom ‘ were regulars, and the remainder undisciplined provincial troops, yet who wero much hotter skilled in encountering the Indians—with whom tho French were in alliance, than even the flower of the British soldiery. Passing up the west bank of the Monongahela to a point directly opposite the mouth of a small stream, now known as Turtle Creek) Braddock determined to crosi the river and Apursuo the balance of his march toward the Fort on .the Pittsburgh side. The landing of his forces was undisputed, and having disposed them in tho finest military order, hb was marching within a fifteen minuW walk of this memorable field, the event of .which which so soon to terminate his coarso with n fatal baft. , The formation of tho bank of the rivor at this point, and extending for half a mile back, is very peculiar, On the immediate margin of the river there is a lovel fiat, which oxtondsbaok about two hundred yards, where it gives way to a second bottom of about a quarter of a mile in width, but of much groator elevation; and, at the northorn edge of this, a third elevation rears its command ing heights, and which Is still thlokly covered with wood. It was tho second of these flats, or tables, that constituted the main theatre of this important contest. Running across this second flat, about a quarter of a mile apart, are two deep leading from the upper margin down to tho river’s edge. These ravines, owing to tho fact that the .grounds wero not subjooted to any agri cultural process, from tho time the battle was fought until within the last two years, aro still pre served in about tho same state of formation os they were described in an ancient record of them, made about a hundred yoars ago. Large forest trees and clumps of underbrußh covered the plain between these two natural ontrcnchraents, which, together with the latter, afforded the ,mast complete facili ties for an enemy to ambush, imaginable. Reader, you have horo a hurried sketch of the topography of this battle-field. ‘ A few native oaks still rear their massive boughs upon tho spot, and, from beneath one of those—within a very few yards from where Craddock fell, surrounded on all sides with the fruits of peace and enterprise, we m&y. picture to our mental vision the gory pand rama of that trsgio scene. * It was growing late in the afternoon, when the Vantof the English reached the western edge of the enclosure formed by the two ravines, when sud denly they found themselves the victims of a per fect hail-storm of halls, aimed with a deadly pre cision' by an undiscovered foe, and wbioh at onoo tljrew the regulars Into the utmost oonfusion. It was at this time that C6lofidl ’tfTashinpton, tho Aid of General Bfaddock, though but twenty-three years of ago, saw the importance ( of dictating to his superior in command! But the advice, of Washington was unheeded then, and ruin was the result (Ominous beacon of the past!) . •The Provincials, seeing (ha great disadvan tage ip which they were subjected by Attempting ;optnly to fight with « hidden fde, flew behind the trunks of trees to employ a similar stratagem. But Braddock, too proud to depart from the scientific tactics of war—too brave to fly for his life at the peril of his honor—but alas! too arrogant to profit by the judioious advice of a subordinate officer, rushed.forward, sword in hand, and branding them with cowardioe, actually struck several of his own men for.thus imitating tho moanness of an Ignomi nious foe. , ® , ° t moments tho battlo ragod with impetu ous fury. Five horses had been shot from under Braddock before he reoeived his mortal wound; jilmost.evory British offleorlay dead upon the field, and whoa the retreat wos oommonced, Washington wps only living or ■ unwounded mounted person in thearmy. May wo not ask, In view of this, can skepticism doubt that the Btrong arm of tho Al mighty wak that day, and ever after, tho invincible shield of that inun of men—our own great Wash ington t . Sixty-Jour officers, and one-half of the army; wero .'cither* killed or wounded. That the procedure of. Braddock upon this occasion, was rash and impolitic, no ono can doubt; yet it is equally certain, that ho made himself thovolun iftry, martyr to a courage whioh but fow men pos sess -.But, trusting that enough has been written to call.to mind one of tho moat notable events in our colonial history, I close with a reiteration of my belief, thnt nothing can more effectually serve to,k,oep. alive the smouldering embors of our na patriotism, than the frequent presentation to •thp through tho medium of the press, the heroic deeds of our ancestors. j she following linos from Coopor, oxpross thl .idea to a nicety : f rofiown, thoughwroughtin anoientdftys, J of a few stout hearts, that fought and died, Whew duty placed them, at their country’s rido; Tho man, that is not,moved with what ho reads.

His Excellency, James BuchanAn, President of the United States, arrived at the Bedford Springs op Thursday of lost week, accompanied by Ms niece,'Miss L&t’eV&nd Miss Rebecca Black, d&ugb* terof the Attorney General, fo quietly wero his movements, that the Springs was the firstintimation the visitors had of his intention to be there—and he seems to have left Washington in the same unostentatious manner,- but few having any knowledge of his intended visit until after his departure. The President looks remarkably well, and walks os Arm and oreot as he did, twenty yearn ago. He was cordially and enthusiastically welcomed to the Springs, by the Immense audience, in a beautiful little inoidont which occurred at the dinner table, an hour or two after his arrival. When seated, his hpnor, Judge'Burnside, inthe namo of the ladies ahd gentlemen present, extended to him a cordial weicoiao, and when the-President rose to reply,' (whioh he did in that courteous, easy, and dignified style so peculiar to himself,) the 1 entire comf'vriy rose to their feet as a testimonial of their high re spect for the greatest statesman now living. The efleot of his speech waa each as to make all.feel en tirely at home in his/eompariy—anil,without' any re serve, all soon inado’his personal acquaintance. 1 Divested of show .or ceremony, Mr. Buchanan is. seen mixing with the peoplo as freely and familiarly as he did beforo his couhtrymen’ihvbsted him with tho highest honors inthe world. 1 Mr. Buohanan has. proved, himself, all that hjs most sanguine friends expected of him, and he is this day as firmly fixed in the affections of the people, as ever Gon.

AU honor to thoxnan who, from the obscure walks of private life, has reoohed tho highest trust in the gift of freemen, A distinguished friend, writing, from the National Metropolis, says: , “Mr. Buohnnan, as you well know, always had more of my admiration and respect than any other publio man.

The State Contral Committee deem this entirely unne cessary, as will be seen by thjir decision, whioh we will publish noxt week, and havo advised the Gen eral not to do so. It was never intended that a Dcmocratio candidate for Governor should travol tho entire State to make speeches—but if a Mass meeting is got up for the East aed for tho West, our word for it, General Packer will meet David Wil mot, or any other speaker of the opposition, in Pennsylvania, or elsewhere, and manfully sustain bin high reputation as an orator and a Democrat.— Bedford Gazette. THE UTAH INDIANS. The Washington Union publishes the copy of a letter recently received by the Commissioner of In dian Affairs from Agent Hunt: Great Salt Lake City, June 30,1857. Sir:—l havo tho satisfaction of reporting,in behalf of the Utahs and other adjacent tribes of Indians in the Territory of Utah, that no dis turbances of any kind have occurred during the quarter ending at this date. This uninterrupted harmony, whioh has now prevailed among these tribes for more than twelve months, is justly attri butable to the efforts whioh have been made to es tablish them upon suitable reservations arid to in troduce among them a system of agriculture; and though these reservations have been visited during tho season by large bands of wild Indians who live oastof the Wasatch mountains, the influence whioh those farms exerted upon them through the “ home tribes” has enablodusto conduct our intercourse with them in a very tranquil manner. • We have in cultivation this at these set tlements, about 700 sores, as follows, viz : At the Spanish Fork farm 220 acres wheat, 40 acres oats, 10 barley, 50 corn, 8 potatoes, 2 buckwheat, 4 tur nips, ana 2 aores of garden. At the Lampote farm 153 aores wheat, 10 oats, 16 corn. 8 potatoes', 8 squashes, and 8 aores beets, melons, and garden. Attbo Aired farm 25 aores of wheat, corn, and squashes. At the Corn Creek farm 65 acres wheat, 60 eorn, potatoes, and squashes. The crops look promising, and give every assurauoe of n plentiful harvest. As I have learned that the office of Iqdlan Superintendent has been separated from that of Governor in this Territory, and as tboSupe.in* dent has not yet reached the field of his labors, I take tho liberty of addressing this communication directly to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and remain, very respectfully, Ac., Garland Hunt, Indian Agent, Utah.

Miss Augusta ;Ct/NSiNOHAtf.—Hiss Augusta Cunningham, as we stated before, seems completely prostrated by this new disgrace' that has oome upon bee name-*«he ia the personi fication of grief and wretchedness; The slightest allusion to the murder, the'marriage/or the birth, she cannot endure. Either of the topics renews her woe. Her abler Helen .stated, on -ner exami nation the other day, that Augusta had been ill for somoweeks before she left home; she mentioned typhus fever as the cause of her iUttesd.. Her ner vous system seems overthrown, and she is really an object for commiseration. She left Bond street on Monday afternoon, before the sham confinement, and declares she will never return. Filial affec tion may.have induced her to cling to her mother and support her, even to her soul’s jeopardy; but that was when the rest of the world was arrayed against her mother. • Who can blame her for that? But against this new contemplated fraud aha seems to have determinedly planted herself, and when her mother persisted in her Wicked 1 resolve, she abandoned her, very properly, to her fate; Augusta remains with her aunt, a very respectable married lady on Lexington avenue, hot even there 1 her wretched destiny pursues her, for her presence In a family brings upon 4 the very unpleasant re gards of the public. Ma. Eckei,.—Mr. l Eekel, about whom so much interest gathered duripg. the opening scenes of the Burdell tragedy, is now in the city. pnrsuing his ordinary business, and Seemingly taking' little in terst in the last developments in this extraordinary case. But his fripnds feel - assured that every sus picion of his complicity in the murder is cleared away by the rdcenf disclosures. The glaring fraud of the desperate woman with whose name andcrimes he had beon associated, has turned speculation Into a new channel in search of accessories to the foul deed.-' Nof isifcat all improbable that before the present investigation is concluded speculation will be changed into certainty on that head. > The SubrogaSe’s Decision on Mrs. Cunning ham's impreftabn seems to exist that the decision of the ,Surrogate cm the.dotation of granting administration to Mrs.. Cunningham upon' the estate of Dr. ‘ Bdhlell may be affected by the recent ■erpltaiofrof her plot to produce afalse heir.' It is natural ; enough that such. an. ide*, should be entertained by those,who are. unac quainted with theirhles which govern Judicial pro-', ceedinw, and wlth'the intelligent, iJonsistent, aiid' faithful adherenoe to those rules which charad terire Mr.Bradford.'Jßut the truth is, that hll that'fataedf plot'and boonterplotywhich has fol-‘ .lowed. upon .the Bond street tragedy,iSiasfar as the Surrogate is concerned, as if, it, had. never, hap pened. No circumatancoof it‘is before Mm:' It is. not in the testimony in' the dase' ‘oh 'Which he has to decide. > His judgment must be based.on the evidence, .which, has been submitted, to'him through the forms of judtcfalproof: The only way in, which he would be:entitled-to considerianynfew fact coming to light )&inee ; ti\e was .closed, would be by its regular introduction after an appH cation should bo-made by thb party interested, and granted by*himself, to,open.the base.for thatptu pose. This has not been done.. Indeed, Mr, Til den, counsel for the Burdfell 1 beirs/wakso' perwh’ .the tiorrogato’s■ deoislon wouldbedri'theiffavbr,' that although h© knew, early in duly, that this; attempt, to get up an .heir to the Burdell.estate would be made'by Mrs. Cunningham,' *■ yet he refused, to apply to the Surrogate; to' get him to . open .the, case to admit proof of the. fact of said attempt ny’ Mrs. Cunningham. He'was willing,* ‘he said, to let the'case rest • entirely upon’ £he evi dence produced before the Surrogate on the.trial. ;In r the same‘spirit .the California commission, which' would have caused ‘sotae months 'delay, was 'indefinitely postponed. As the general ana pru dential rule is to exhaust all relevant and material Evidence, this shows greater confidence in the result ! than would be usually justifiable. ' ‘ ‘ 1 ' Although the decision of the Surrogate has not been announced, and no intimation has been made of what it is likely to be, It is by no means to be assumed that he has not long once arrived 'at'a conclusion. The argument of. counsel was finished on the -2d of July. Whatever, impression Mr. Bradford may ’ have had of the trial, or oh the argument, it is well known to be his habit to look over the whole testi mony,before committing h inself to an opinion; and in a case the most extraordinary that has ever come 'into' his court, or perhaps in any other, he would naturally doeni it proper to write out the grounds of his ( decision. There does not seem to be any other reason for the delay in promulgating the re sult to which it is understood be' came to long be fore .tile recent developments.* He stated shortly after the close of the case that he had, come to,a decision upon it. ( When the counsel bad closed their argument she gavwthemjpermission to' hand in any more points or written arguments that they might desire to, remarking at the same time, “I do not moan to Say that I'have rt6t'made'np'my mind, but it is subject to a review of the testimony: ’’ This indicates pretty clearly that h\s mind was then made' up, and h|s constant admission, .ever since, that his mind was fn&de'upto his decision, implies .that a.review of the evidence,has not changed it. , . , { Since the late*criminal attempt has been made by Mi* Cunningham,' he has told- several 'persons that this would notaffeet his ■ decision do. the least —that his mind had .been made up for sometime. This mifcht indicate indirectly, though pretty clear ly, how his mind is.madeup. i Indeed, those who know him.,best, and his manner of weighing and deciding upon evidence,* are unanimously or the ‘opinion, it will be against Mrs. Cunningham. His omission to send out the California eommiwioa fan*- filies that he considered the case sufficiently esfab* ished otie way or the other, and as theapplication for said commission was made by'the defendants, .it may be iadged.in which way he considered, the oase established. There are ether collateral facta that go to show that his decision will be against Mrs. Cunningham’s application, hnd one that will tire publio satisfaction; and be sustained by the igher courts of law if it should be appealed from. His decision may be expected in the course of two or three weeks. * Her Confidence in a Favorable Decision— Re-furnishing the House.—Whatever doubts othora may hare entertained as to her likelihood of haring the Surrogate’s decision in'her fovor, she herself appeared to have entertained none. She was sanguine in her belief that the marriage would have been affirmed. She hftd'oven gofle u> thp. expense of having the house No. 31 Bond street re-furnished at very considerable cost—whether on risk or not we cannot say. She is said to have assorted, however, that since the death of Dr, Burdell she has defrayed all the enormous ex penses to which she was subjected by litigation and otherwise, and only borrowed on one occasion $l5. To a person who suggested to her that it was hardly prudent in her to go to the expense of re furnishing tho' house before the rendering of the Surrogates decision,* she replied that she was go ing to bo confined iu five weeks, and was not go ing to let her baby be born on bare boards. Important from tne Prairies—Reported Murder of Surveying Parties. Tho Kansas oity Enterprise, of August Ist, says: “ Letters were received at Leoompton on the 35th ult., which state that the Choyenne or Sioux In dians, or both, had attacked several of the United States,surveying parties /in tho, southwest por tion of Nebraska, and murdered a number of the mon. “The report is, that five of Cant. Caldwell’s, four of Cant. Berry's, and all of Col. Manner’s party, including the latter, had been murdered. We bavebebn unable to learn particulars. “ It is the opinion of-those hast acquainted with tho country in whioh these parties were, and the region of country {reversed by the various tribes of Indians, that if these massacres have occurred, they were committed by tho Pawnees, and charged on the others to escape punishment. This, also, is the opinion of the Surveyor General, now in our oity, who States that the lands upon which the surveyors were at work have always been claimed by the Pawnees, and that they have ever manifested gr'ea{ displeasure at their survey by the government.” - • POLITICAL MATTERS. Pennsylvania.—James B. Sansom, Esq., of the Fulton Democrat, has been nominated for the Legislature. Mr. S., two years ago, was eleoted of tho Pennsylvania Legislature Ho ia highly spoken of as a sound, practical man, and an unswerving Democrat. Kentucky.—The Democrats havo earned one member of Congress in the Eighth District, and six members of tho Legislature. The Louisville Conner of Thursday says :—“We publish, this morning, a list of eleven Democrats and four Americans, elected to the Senate, and fifty Democrats and twenty-seven Americans, eleoted to tho House of Representatives. The oountios jot to hear from will probably elect three Democrats and two Americans to the State Senate, and nino Democrats and thirteen Americans to the Legislature. Tho Demobratio majority in the lower branch of the Legislature will be from fifteen to twenty.” So far as heard from in Kentucky, the Demo crats have eleoted fifty memborsof the House of Representatives to tho Know-Nothings’ twonty sevon. To the State Senate, tho Democrats have chosen eleven members, and the Know-Nothings four. For Congress, seven Democrats are elected, certain, to two Americans, and there is one, Tal bot, in doubt. Tim Kentucky Legislature.—The Cincinnati Gazette, in speaking of the political complexion of the Legislature of Kentucky, say* • —Next December, at Frankfort, in our sister State, will bo witnessed an event, the like of whioh has never been seen by the present generation. It is the assemblage there of a Legislature that con tains a Democratic majority, u e should have to go back to 1828 or 1828 to witness a similar phe nomenon. The Democrats havo, since'that time, had the Governor and half the delegation imCon fress, but never the Legislature. The oppdation ad a permanent end enduring ascendency in that body thut never could be shaken in the least. Truly, with the loss of that body the sceptre has departed from Judah, and a new era has dawned upon Kentucky. She is in the Democratic column henceforth as firmly as Virginia. Death op Hon, H. L.

[The great-qualifying requisition, to be observed above all others, in receiving the engrafted word into the depraved stock of a man’s fallen- nature, ifaa that meebtess and humility which the Loni has promised to guide in judgment.* The declara tion of the Saviour, respecting this, wherein he said, “Except ye be oonverted, and beeome as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven,” was but an illustrative confirmation of the necessity of every inquirer after the truth, placing himself in tho position of an humble re cipient of the knowledge which is promised to all true believers: for it was a well known arid beau- tiful truth, that little children, in coming to parents for information, did so with the most implicit con fidence in their judgment and veracity: And, shrely, the father is not removed higher above his son than is God above his children; and hence the reasonableness of' his injunction for all men to cbme unto him “with a heart believing onto righte ousness,” a mind willing to be taught from the great fountain of universal truth, and a life reflect ing in its every action the love we feel to tb« Au thor of Cur being. | The sermon, of which the foregoing is but a rapid, disconnected synopsis, given entirely- from memory.

T.. we see by the Squat ter Sovereign of the Ist inst, one of the largest of those caravans or “ trains” by whioh the com merce between the States and the Great Salt Lake Valiey is carried. The train will consist of seven ty-three wagons, eight hundred and seventy-six oxen, and ninety men. It will be laden with one hundred and forty tons of assorted merchandise, juiapted to the Salt Lake trade. Some idea of the immense value of the goods which will be carried, by this train may possibly be had, when we state that the freight alone upon them from here to Salt Lake will exceed $40,000. The wagons are now being loaded at the warehouse of £. C. Wolfolk, ahd it is surprising to see the amount of goods that cin be stowed away in one of these “ prairie scows.” The wagons are all got up in tne old style, with broad tire, stout wood and iron work, dee beds, painted blue, with bows, and covered with canvass, so as completely to protect tho goods from rains or storms. The “ motive power” of each wagon will be six yokes of oxen, bat a number of extra yokes will be taken along to guard against accidents, or to assist in difficult places. This train will start today or Monday next, and it will re quire from sixty to ninety days to make the trip, the length of time depending in some measure upon the grass, the state of the roads. Ac. When the train has arrived at Salt Lake, and discharged its freights, the cattle and wagons will be sold out, and the men who accompany it will either remain ia the Territory, proceed to California, or return to “ the States’' in the Spring. THE COURTS . Quarter Sessions—Judge Allison.— Bail Re duetd.—An application was made to tho Court on Saturday morning to reduce the bail in the case of the Commonwealth vs. John and G-abnei Eaxif. It appeared by the statement of counsel for the de fendant, that Alderman Ogle, before whom the case was heard, had imposed the ludicrous bail of $25 - 000 upon those two defentantr, although it was not charged that the defendants jiad obtained more than $6,000 worth of goods. ' Judge Allison said: Although he had not heard all the facts, that the bail-demanded was exces sive, that it should be reduced to $5 000 upon each of the charges, $lO,OOO in all. This practice of excessive bail is very reprehensible, and * Persecuting spirit. It may increase the utmeuUy of obtaining bail, but will ’have no effect before a Court of justice. Bail wa3 not entered in thisoaso before the rising of the Court. In the Case of the Commonseealtk vs. Anna Master, 6fC , Judge Parsons concluded his sum ming up, ana was followed by Mr. Edgar E. Pettit, in an elegant and powerful argument for the de fendants, whioh appeared to have due weight with the Judge Allison charged very impartially, and elucidated the principles of law involved in the case with great dearness and precision. His charge was clearly favorable to the defendants. The jury retired about 2 o’clock, and will bring in a sealed verdict thH morning- Judge Parson* for Commonwealth; Edgar E. Pettit for defendants. . A party of about thirty children, few* o them above fourteen years of age, and mostly com posed of boys from the Children’s Aid Society, left New York yesterday afternoon, in the Albany boat, for the West, under the guardianship of Mr C. C. Tracy, of thq Newsboys’ Lodgiog Housa! •They were neatly dressed, and their perfect happi ness at leaving the.cuty for the land pf the West was manifested by their joyous songs as the boat aotsd »ir»jr ftchi the pier with the tittle eolony.
