BV A westers maw. About thirty miles J»low’life presjeni city of Pittsburg, stood an ancient fpft, known a* Fort Mclntosh, ,ll was built by ary gentleman of that, name, in the summer of 1778. U waaone of a line of forts, which was intended to guard the people who lived South of the Ohio river, from the incursions of the savages to the northward. T(ps fort pros one of the favorite resoris of the. .great Indian spy and hunter. Captain Samuel Bra. ay. Although his usual headquarters was Pittsburg, then consisting, of a rude fort and a score or two of rough frontier lenemensl. r Brady had emigrated westward, or rather had marched thither in 1778, as a lieutenant m the distinguished Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment, under the command of General Richard Broadhead, of Easton. When, in me spring of 1779, Mclntosh retired from command, in the VVeas, Broadhead succeeded him, and, remained at Pittsburg until 1781. Shortly after his advent to the West, Brady was brevelted Captain. Brady had served at the siege of Boston, fought.at.Long Island and While plains, gone, through the whole of the terrible campaigu of Trenlon and Piiocelon, suffered at Valley Forge, distinguished himself at Germantqwn and Brandy wipe, and narrowly escaped death at Paoli. But his tastes led him to the er ratic mode of warfare known upon the fron tier, indeed, bis early education upon the upper Susquehannah had inculcated and de veloped those tastes from the. very earliest boyhood. Hating an Indian with that in stinctive hatred, Which is begotten ip the bosom of the white race, by long years of. contest and outrage, a biller intensity w;aa imparled to the feeling in this case by the murder of his father and younger brother by the Indians, under trying and terrible, cir cumstances. , Having promised Ibis much by way of in iroduclioo it brings us to that eventful morn ing in which Brady set pul from Fori Mcln tosh, fbr Pittsburg. He had with him two of. bit trusty and well-tried followers.. These were not attached to,the regular army, as he Was, but Were scouts and spies, who had been with him upon many an expedition. They were Thomas Bevingtonand Benjamin Biggs. Brady resolved to fallow the northern bank of the Ohio., Biggs objected to this, upon the ground, ns Brady well knew, that the woods were swarmng with saVagea. Brady, ttowever, had resolved to travel by the old In man path, and having once made up his mind,;ad 'cofun deration conld 'detePMrn'from carrying out his determination. Bevington had such implicit faith in his ability to lead, that he never thought of questioning bis will. Quite a discussion arose between Biggs and his captain at the mouth of Beaver river, about a mile above the fort, and wheie they must cross ihe Ohio, if they continued upon the northern side. Biggs finally waived bis objections, and they crossed Beaver, and pro ceeded with the habitual caution of woods men who fully understand their business.— Tney had started early, and by rapid trav. eHng they had reached, ete noon came, Ihe last piece of bottom land on the north side of the river, just below what is known as the Narrows. Upon this bottom a pioneer, more daring than most others, had"built a. cabin; and opened a small spot of Reared land;— ito bad planted it in corn, and it gave prom ise of a most abundant harvest. But os they approached the edge of the clearing, just oulsida of tin fence, Brady dis covered “ Indian signs,” as'he called them. His companions discovered them almost as quick as he, and at once, in low topes, com municated to each other the, necessity : for a : keen watch. They slowly irtateddhsm ajongi the side of the fence toward the house, whoso siluanon- tKey well .knew, until they stood upon the.brotrd^thaibluff banit.whioh overi looked if;- A sight of ,ths > most; terrible de scription met lheir eyes.
