Into the details of their early stroggli s. their civil and military con tests of years in duration, involving long and expeosive Ir f i lotion, 1 shall not enter, but the render will find in the History of the ,! Valley - by AI r.. Minor. much that will deep-' ly interest him, in the events that preceed ed the period nt which we begin. The same historian paints the scene of peace, plen ty and mijoyment, that dwelt in the valley at the opening of the Revolutionary War, as all but Elysian, and even after it broke out, these quiet people were so tar from its scenes that they might have hoped to escape the personal experience of its horrors. But the fear of the savages all around them, and the tones who had settled in the northern part of the valley, and there built Wintermoot's Fort. kept the colony in a slate of alarm.— They had a fortification some few miles be low, called Forty Fort, from the number of Connecticut pioneers who settled the valley. and this they strengthened : it afterwards became famous in history. Almost the who!, number of able bodied men, were drawn off to recruit the army under Gen. Washington, and the Valley was left in n defenceles state, All the aced men, art; the young who were able to carry a weapon, were formed into companies to defend the women and children. It was rumored that the Tories and Indians were prepairing au expedition to ravage the Valley. Congress, in session at Philadelphia, was apprized of the intention, but with a blindness to conse quences, scarcely credible, to say nothing of the inhUmanity of their indifference, took no steps to provide against the approwhing storm. The inhabitants were left to shift for themselves, while the men who were ca pable of protecting their wives and child ren were detained in the regular army. In the northern part of the State of New York, a body of Tory Rangers under the command of Col. John Butler, with some five or six hundred Indians, makin g an in vading, army of more than a thousan d men, prepared to comedown on this peaceful val ley, and lay it waste with fire and sword.— In the month of June, 1778, they gathered at Tioga Point, and embarked in canoes and flats, they-floated gently down the, river at the rate of four or five miles an hour, and before their approach was suspected, they landed a few miles above Wyoming, and took possession of Winterrnoot's Fort, at the head of the Valley. Col. Zebulan Buddr, of the American ar my, then at home on a visit, was called by acclamation to take command of what forces could be raised in the valley to resist the in- vitsion. Ile is said by sonic writers to have been u cousin to the Col. John Buller com manding the enemy's forces, but there is no proof of this relationship, and the worthy descendants of Zeliulon repudiated it alto gether. Immediately the British comman der sent to Col. Z. Butler, in command at' Forty . Fort, and demanded a su rrender of all the Forts, and the valley, which de mands were promptly refused. A council of war was (tailed. and the only question to be considered was whether they small(' narch tit to meet the me my, or remain in the fort ;mil ree.o re the attack, ti lich would he 'wide so sent as their refusal to surrender was reported. In favor of hold ing on within the fort. it was urged that in a short tiine . the militia companies might be expected to return from the regular army, and with their aid, tho enemy could be re pelled. On the other hand, itvas obvious that delay was to ruin the valley ; the work of devastation and death would be urged on with savage cruelty, and the only hope was in a decisivs blow. No reasonable ground existed for supposing that any help would come from abroad. A large majority took this view of the case, and disastrous as the issue was, it appears to us, at this day, that the conclusion was the only one to which they could come, under the .circumstances, and the result was no worse than it would have been had they remained in the fort.— We see no reason whatever for seeking ex traneous influences to account for the deter mination to march against the enemy, with the bold design of driving them back or per ishing in the attempt. The whole force that now left the fort teas a "forlorn hope," of only three hundred men and boys . ; and with them were Judges of the Courts and all the civil ()alders near at hand. Grand fathers took their muskets and marched to the fight. One of these old men had sever al grandsons on the field. Some heroic women were nt hand, of Whom it may be said; as of Washington—women, "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of their countrymen."'

Tke Massacre of Wyoming. When I stood on the hills that overlook this whole valley, with Mr. Ruthven, who •vas kind enough to escort inc to the suin tnit and looked down on the fields and vill ages, and scattered hamlets, so peaceful and so beautiful, the river flowing gently by, and giving life to the scene, it seemed that this vale might have been the abode of primeval innocence, and it was hard to be lie° that it had been the scene of the red dest bloodshed, and the most savage war fare that had ever disgraced the name of man. Yet in the annals of our Revolution ary War, marked as they are by frequent records of Indian, British and Tory barbari ty, there is no tale that has been more just ly regarded with indignant horror, than the Massacre of Wyoming, It is true that most exaggerated and erroneous statements went abroad respecting it, and these were widely published in this country and in Europe.— And it is . another of many illustrations, that show how hard, nay, impossible it is, to put down a false record, after it has been incor porated into sober history. But our ancient enemies, now our friends, have enough to answer for, without being loaded with char ges of which they are in a measure inno cent. The overwrought stories of the Wy oming massacre, were first related in good faith, growing as such stories will the far ther they travel from mouth to mouth. and . when published they excited such indigne rtrion.against the enemy, it was not to he ex pected that the Americans would take any ;great pains to correct them, even if they Chad the moans. But the truth is bad enough; it is one °fill° darkest chuPters in the his tory of war. The valleys of Wyoming, was inhabited chiefly by people from New England, in the time of the Revolution: The first European who is.known to have visited this region, was Count Zinzondorf, who had been visit ing hie Moravian brethren, at Bethlehem and. Nazareth, where there are to this day, interesting settlements of this people. He extended his travels to this valley, with the holy pUrpose . of striving to do something for ; the spiritual good of the Indians. A re markahle escape of him from their toma hawk is recorded.'; ;He was regarded by the . savages as an. English spy, and they de 'ermined toput him to death., ,por this pur pose they entered his rude tent, where he was sleeping before a fire ; at this moment it rattlesnake was crawling across his legs, pad the Indians were at once %impressed vvith the idea that ho must bo under the ALLENTOWN, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA., MARCH 18, 1852 I - They opened with spirit,_and_the lines began to give way. The Indians in ambush kept up a galling fire ; and being scattered in various ban Is, their horrid yells were answered from one to another along , the whole line, doubtless magnifying their numbers, and filling maay a stout lwart with fear. The firing was kept up on both sides fur half an hour. when the vasny su . IteTlOr ninnbers of the invaders made it evi dent that they inns! overpower the heroic citizens. One of our officers gave an order for a change of position ;on the instant the savages rushed in with their fiercest yells ; the order for a change of position was mis taken for a command lo retreat. and tit(' lit , tie array was thrown into confusion. Col. Z. Butler, with utter disregard of his own rife, rushed between the lines, and, blend ing, the farther with the soldier, cried, "Dont leave me, my children, and victory is ours•" But the day was lost. The left wing ivas in full flight. Instan ces of heroism not excelled on more famous fields, are related of that day. Every cap taM that •led a company into action was slain. One youth just married, fell into the arms of his brother, and expired,..as_he_hatL time to say, "I ;tin killed—take care of La vinia.•' But when the battle was over, the massacre was only just begun. A body of the Indians rushed down to cut off the re treat of the inhabitants, and prevent them from regaining the fort. Their anxious wives and mothers were waiting the issue of that bloody conflict. Many of the Amer icans fled through the fields of grain, fluid attempted to reach Monocau island; where they were pursued and slain by scares.— Some were tempted by promises of safety, and butchered as soon as they came. A few crossed to the eastern shore of the river, and escaped to the mountains. One of the fugitives hid himself in the bushes on the island, where he was found by his own brother, a tory who shot hint dead while he was praying for his life. Thu Indian marksmen had singled out officers, and shot them in the thigh; so as to disable them, and yet save them alive for future torture. Capt. Bidlack was thrown on a pile of burn ing logs, and held there with pitchforks, till he expired. Other tragedies of iniquity were enacted too harrowing to be repeated. Would that they were forgotten ! In the meadow on the banks of the Sus quehanna, a little way South of the present residence of Capt. Henry, where I dined yesterday, is a flat rock just raised above ground, and known in history as the "Bloody Rock." The pastor's children guided me to it, and as they sported around and over it in the frolices of childhood, I could hard ly believed that this sweet spot had taken as name from the fiendish cruelty of a wo man. Queen Esther, a woman Irma Can ada, whose name was Catherine Nlontout', had married an Indian Chief, and by her vigor of mind, had gained great ascendan cy over the savages. She had several times visited Philadelphia before tit.. war, and by her r tiao,o,.ot. of inatowr, Rod ;ittractive person," had won the regards Stk. was ono of tip: leaders dies in this invasion and the chiel priestess in the scenes of torture that utari;ed the an ful night succeediug the battle day.

Here, perhaps is a fitting place to pause; but more remains to be told. laEsmus New England Squire, Frank has a grandfather living in the country, a good specimen of the old-fashion ed New England farmer; And—go where one will, the world over—l know of no race of men, who taken together, possesses more integrity, more intelligence; and more of those elements of comfort, which go to make a home beloved, and the social basis firm, than the. New England farmers. They are not brilliant, norare they high ly refined, they know nothing of arts, his trionic or dramatic ; they know only so much of older nations as their histories and news papers teach them ; in the fashionable world they hold no place ;—but in energy, in in dustry, in hardy virtue, it substantial knowl odge,and in manly independence p they make up n race, that is hard to be matched. The French peasantry are, in.all the es sentials of inteligence, and sterling worth, infants, compared with them • and the far mers of England :are either die merest joc keys in grain, with few ideas beyond their sacks, samples, and market days ; or; with added cultivation, they lose their independ ence is subserviency to some neighbor pa• Iron of rank ; and 'superior intelligence teaches them no 'lesson so quickly, as that their brethren of the globe are unequal to them, and ape to bo left; to their cattle: end• the goad, There are English — farmers uTdei - jdit, ho are men in earnest, who read the papers, and who keep the current of the year's in telligence ; but such men are the exceptions. In New England, with the school upon cv. j ery third hillside, and the self-regulating, l freeacting church, to watch every valley I with week-dav quiet, and to wake every val. ley with Sabbath sound, the men become, ; - as a class, bold, inteli,gent, and honest actors, who would make again, as-they-have made before a terrible army of defence ; and who would find seasons for their actions, as strong as their armies. Frank's grandfather has silver hair, but is still hale, erect and strong. Ilis dress is homely, but neat. Being a thorough-going Protectionist, he has no fancy for the gew gawns of foreign importation, and makes it a point to appear always in the village church, and on all great occasions, in a sober suit of homespun. He has no pride of al:- pear:lnce and he needs none. Ile is known as a Squire, throughout the township ; and no important measure can pass the board of selectmen without the Squire's approval : and this, from no blind subserviency to his _opinion, because his farm is largeoliad-he-is reckoned "fore-handed," but because there is a confidence in his judgment. Flu is jealous of none of the prerogatives of the country parson, or of the school-mas ter, or of the village docker: and althoutzh the latter is a tasty politician of the opposite party, it does not at all impair the Squire's faith in his calomal suffers all his Ra dicalism, with the same equanimity that he sutlers his rhubarb. The day-labdrers of the neighborhood, and the small farmers consider the Squire's note of hand for their savings, better than the best bonds of city origin ; and they seek his advice is all matters of litigation. Ile is a Justice of the Peace, as the title of Squire in a New England village implies ; and many are the country courts that you peep upon with Frank, from the door of the great dining-room. The defendant always seems to you, in these important cases— especially if you beard is rather long,—an extraordinary nil fiat) ; to wimm Jack Sheppard would have been a comparatively innocent boy. You watch curiously the old gentleman, sitting in his big arm chair, with his spectacles in their silver case at his elbow, and his snuff box in hand, listening attentively to some grievous complaint : you see him •ponder deeply—with a pinch of snuff toaid his judg ment—and you listen with intense admira tion, as he gives a loud preparatory "A hem," and clears away the intricacies of the case with a sweep of that strong; practical sense, which distinguishes Mt New England far tner,7--getting at the very hinge of the mat ter, without any conciousness of his own precision, and satisfying the defendant by th-' clearness of his talk, as much as by the leniency ,of his judgment. His lands lie along those swelling hills which in southern NeW England, carry the chain of the White and Green Mountains, in , emmil, undulations. to the borders of the sea. Ile farms some fifteen hundred acres —"suitably divided," as the old school agri culturist say, into "wood-land, pasture, and tillage." The farin-house, a large irregular ly built mansion of woad; stands upon the shelf of the hills looking southward, and is shaded by century old oaks. The barns and outbuildings are grouped in a drown phalanx a little to the northward of the dwelling..•-- Baaveen them a high timber gate opens up on time scattered pasture lands of the hills ; opposite so this ; and across the farm-yard, which is the lounging place of scores of red necked turkeys, and of matronly hens, cluck ing to their callow brood, another gate of similar pretentensions opens upon the wide meadow land, which rolls with a heavy "ground swell," along the valley'of a moun tain river.. A veteran oak ,stands sentinel at the brown meadow-gate, its trunk all scarred with the ruthless cuts of new-ground axes, and the limbs garnished in "Summer time, with the crooked soothes of murder ous looking scythes. Tile high-road passes a ston'e's - throw away ; but there is little "travel" to be seen, and every chance passes will inevita bly come' under the range of the kitchen windows, and be studied carefully by the eyes of the stout dairy-maid : to say noth ing of the stalwart Indian cook. The last, you cannot but admire as a type of that noble old race, among whom -your boyish fancy has woven so many stories of romance. You wonder how she must re gard the white interlopers upon her own soil ; and you think that she tolerates the &mire's farming privileges with' more mod esty than you would suppose. You learn however that she pays very little regard to white tights,—when they conflict with her own ; and further learn, to , your deep regret that your Princess of the old tribe, is sadly addicted to cider drinking and having heard her once or twice, with a very indistinct "Gooer night Sq-quare," upon her lips— your dreams about her grim - livery tame.

The old Squire has been it) his day, connected .more or less intimately with Turnpike enterprise, which the Railroads of the day have thrown sadly into the back ground ; and he reflects often, in a rnelmi. choly way, upon the rood old times when a man coulcl travel in his own carriage quiet ly across the country, without being fright ened with the clatter of an engine :—and when Turnpike stock paid wholesome yearly dividends of six per cent. Carious Mode of {Getting a Wife.. One little act of p.tbteness will sometimes pave the way to fortune and preferment.— The following sketch illustrates this fret : A sailor roughly garbed, was sauntering thron7h the streets of :';ew Orleans, then imm a rather damp condition from recent rain and the rise of the title. Turning the corner of a much frequented and narrow alley, he ob served a young lady standing in perplexity, apparently measuring the depth of the mud dy water between her and the opposite side walk,. with no very satisfied countenance. The sailor paused, (of' ite tars a gtTat ad mirer of beauty, and certainly the fair face that peeped out from under the little chip , hat, and time auburn curls hanging glossy and unconfined over her muslin Ire: m., might tempt a curious, or an admiring glance.— Perplexed, the lady put one little foot, when the gallant sailor, with characteristic impul siveness exclaimed, "that pretty foot, lady, should not be soiled with the filth of this j lane ; wait a moment only, and I will make I you a path." So springing past her into a carpenter's shop opposite. he bargained for a plank board that stood in doorway, and coming back to the smiling girl, who was just co. I quettish enough to accept the services of the ! the handsome young sailor, he bridged the narrow black stream, and she tripped across ,with a merry "thank you," and a roguish smile, making her eyes as dazzling as they could be. Alas ! our young sailor was perfectly charmed. %Vitat else would make him catch up and shoulder the plank, and fol lowing the little witch through the streets to her home, she twice performing the cer emony of "walking the plank," and each time thanking hide with one of her eloquent smiles. Presently our hero saw the young lady trip tup the marble steps of a palace of a house, and disappear within I its rose. wood entrance ; for a full minute he stood looking. at the door and then with a wondeifully big sigh turned away, dispo sed of his drawbridge, and wended his path back to his shop. The next day he wets - astonished with all order of pro Motion from the captain: Poor Jack was speechless with amazement; he had not dreamed of being exalted to the dig nity of a second :rime's office on board one of the most splendid ships that sailed out of the port of New Orleaps. 119 knew he was competent, for instead of spending 'his money for amusements, visiting theatres and ' bowling alleys, on his return Iron sea, he purchased •books and became quite a student but he expected year; to inteuene...hefore his ambitions hopes would be realised. flis superior officers seemed to look upon I, hire with considerable leniency, and gave him many a fair opportunity to gather tmar itime knowledge ; and in a year, the hand, some gentlemanly young mate had acquired, unusual favor in the eyes of the portly coma; mander, Captain Humne, who had first taker, the smart hole black-eyed , fellow with hid neat tarpaulin, and tidy bundle, as his cabii , boy.
