U U THE ftAFTSfflAR' TIIE PERILS OF TOE BORDER. "While reading recently aa account of the i rightful massacre of several white families by the Black-foot Indians, we were reminded of a thrilling event which occurre d in the "Wild West," a short time subsequent to the Revo lution, in which a highly accomplished young lady, the daughter of a distinguished officer of the American Army, played an important part. The story being of a most thrilling nature,and exhibiting in a striking manner the 'Perils of the Border," we have concluded to give an extract from it, as originally published, as fol lows : The anglo on the right bank of the Great Kanawha, formed bv its junction with the O hio, Is called Point Pleasant, and is a place of historical note. Here, on trie 10th ol Octo ber. 1774, durins what is known as Lord Dun more's War. was fought of the fiercest aud most desperate battles that ever took place be tween the V irgmians and their Iocs. After the battle in question, in which the Indians were defeated with great loss, a fort was here erected bv the victors.which became a post of rreat importance throughout the san euinary scenes of strifo which almost immedi ately followed, and in which in this section of the country were continued for many years al ter that establishment of peace which acknswl edzed the United Colonies of America a free and independent nation. At the landing of the fort, oa the day of our Etorv opens, was fastened a flat-boat, of the kind used by the early navigators of the Wes tern rivers. Upon the deck of this boat, at the moment we present the scene to the reader, stood five individuals, alike engaged in watching a group of persons mostly females, who were slowly approaching the landing. Of these five, one was a stout, sleek negro, in partial livery, and evidently a house or body servant ; three were boatmen and borderers, as indicated by their rough, bronzed visages and coarse attire ; but the filth was a young man, some two-and-twen ty years of age, of a hne commanding person and a clear, open and intelligent countenance and in the lofty carriage of his head-in the gleam of his large, bright, hazel eye there was something which denoted one ol superior mind ; but as we shall have occasion in me course of our narrative to fully set forth who and what Eugene Fairfax was, we will leave him for the present, and turn to the appreach ing group, whom he suemed to be regarding with lively interest. Of this group, composed of a middle aged man and four females, with a black female ser vant following some five or six paces in the rear, there was one whom the most casual eye would have singled out and rested upon with pleasure. The lady in question,was apparent ly about twenty years of age, of a slender and graceful figure, and of that peculiar cast of feature, which, besides being beautiful in eve ry lineament, rarely fails to affect the behold er with something like a charm. Her travelling costume a fine brown halit, high in the neck, buttoned closely over the bosom and coming down to her small pretty feet, without trailing on the ground was both neat and becoming; and with her ridiiig-cap and its waving ostrich plnme, set gaily above her flowing curls, her appearance contrasted forcibly with the rough, unpolished looks of those of her sex beside her, with their linsey bed-gowns, scarlet flannel petticoats, and blea ched linen caps. "Oh, Blanche," said one of the more vener able of her female companions, pursuing a conversation which had been maintained since quitting the open fort behind them, 'I cannot bear to let you go ; for it just seems to me as if something were going to Lajpen to you, and when I feel that does happenr" way, something "Well, aunt," returned Blanche, with a light laugh, "I do not doubt in the least that some thing will happen for I expuct one of these days to reach my dear father and blessed moth er, and give them such an embrace as is due from a dutiful daughter to her parents and that will be something that has not happened for two long years at least." "But I don't mean that, Blanche," returned the other, somewhat petulently ; "ard you .Just laugh like a gay and thoughtless girl, when you ought to be serious. Because you have come safe thus far, through a partially settled country, you think, perhaps, your own pretty face will ward off danger in the more perilous wilderness but I warn you that a fearful journey is before you ! Scarcely a boat descends the Ohio, that does not encounter more or leas peril from the savages that prowl along either shoro ; and some of them that go down freighted with human life, are heard of no more, and none ever return to tell the tale." "But why repeat this to me, dear aunt," re turned Blanche, with a more serious air, "when you know it is my destiny, either good or bad, to attempt the voyage ? My parents have sent for me to join them in their new home, and it is my duty to go to them, be the peril what it may." "l'on never did know what it was to fear?" pursued the good woman, rather proudly. "No," she n-peated, turning to the others, Blanche Bertrand never did know what it was to fear, I believe !" "Just like her father!" joined in the hus band of the matron, the brother of Blanche's mother, the commander of the station, and the middle-aged gentleman mentioned as one of the party ; "a true daughter of a true sol dier. Her father, Colonel Philip Bertrand, God bless him for a true heart! never did seem to know what it was to fear and Blanche is just like him !" By this time the parties had roarhorl the boat ; and the young man already described Eugene Fairfax, the secretary of Blanche's lather at once stepped forward, and. in a no lite and deferential manner, otlered his hand to the differed females, to assist them on board. The hand of Blanche was the last to touch his and then but slightly, as she sprung quickly and lightly to the deck but a close observer might have detected the slight flush which mantled his noble, expressive features as his evt fkr a sin! instant met hers. She Might herself have seen it perhaps she did but there was no corresponding glow on her own bright, pretty face, as she inquired, in the calm, dignified tone of one having the right to put the question, and who might also have been aware of the inequality of position be tween herself and him she addressed : "Eugene, is everything prepared for our de parture I It will not do for our boat to spring a leak again, as it did coming down the Ka nawha for it will not be safe for ns, I am told, to touch either shore between the different forts and trading posts on our route, this side 01 out aesunation, the Falls of the Ohio." "No, indeed!" reioined liOTannt nnii-tlr it will be as much as your lives are worth'to venture a foot from the main current of the unio ror news reached us only the other day, that many boats had been attacked this spring v- "l wuu an on ooara.l -u one leeis more concerned about the ,- pasfS8 or Miss Bertrand than mvself " rep.ied Eugene, in a deferential tone", "and Since our arriral Imr. I I... i.r- . . j - - , -"- ""o mi Dotiun; un done that I thought might possibly add to her uu comiorx. "That is true, to mr Twrui i..i,.j ln'nexriDi.h? ?ncl? of Blanch ; "d I thank , , lriax, m behait ot my fair kiuswo man. There will, perhaps," he pursued, "be no great danger, so long as you keep in the current ; but your watch must not be neglect ed for a siDgle moment, either night or day ; and do not, I most solemnly charge and warn you, under any circumstances, or on any pre tence whatsoever, suffer yourselves to be de coyed to either shore !" "I hope we understand our duty better, Co lonel," said one of the men, respectfully. "I douut it not." replied the commander of the Point ; "1 believe you are all faithful and true men, or you would not have been select ed by the agent of Colonel Bertrand, for tail ing down more precious freight than you ever earned; but still the wisest and best ot men have lost their lives by giving ear to the most earnest appeals ol humanity. You understand what I mean 1 V Lite men, apparently in the greatest distr.ss, will hail your boat, represent themselves as having just escaped from the In dians, aud beg of you, for the love of God, in the most piteous tones, to come to their relief; but turn a deaf ear to them to each and all of them even should yon know the pleaders to be of your own kin ; for in such a case your own brother might deceive you not wilfully and voluntarily, perhaps but because of le- mg goaded on bv the savages, themselves con cealed. Yes, such things have been known as one friend being thus used to lure another to his destruction : and so be cautious, vigilant, brave and true, and may the good God keep vou all from harm !"' As he finished siieaking, Blanche proceeded to take an afiectionate leave of all, receiving many a tender message for her pa-ents from those who held them in love and veneration and the boat swung out, and began to float down with the current, now fairly entered up on the most dangerous portion of a long and perilous jonrnev. The father of Blanche, Colonel Philip Ber trand, was a native of Virginia, and a descen dant of one of the Huguenot refugees, who fled from their native land after the revocation of the edict of Naclz in ljio. lie had been officer of some note during the Revolution a warm political and personal friend of the au thor ot the Declaration of Independence and a gentleman who had always stood high in tho esteem of his associates and cotemporaries Though at one time a man of wealth, Colo nel Bertrand had lost much, and suffered much, through British invasion; and when, shortly after the close of the war, he had met with a few more serious reverses, ho had been fain to accept a grant of land, near the fails of the Ohio, now Louisville, tendered him by Vir nia, which then held jurisdiction over the en tire territory now constituting the State of Kentucky. I he grant had decided the Colonel upon seeking his new possessions and building up a new home in the then Far West, and as his wife had insisted upon accompanying him on his first tour, he had assented to her desire, on condition that Blanche should be left among her friends, till such time as a place could be prepared which might in some degree be con sidered a fit abode for one so carefully and tenderly reared. Blanche would gladly have gone with her parents; but on this point her father had been inexorable declaring that she would have to remain at the East till he should see proper to send for her; and as he was a man of positive character, and a rigid disciplinarian, the mat' ter I ad been settled without argument. When Colonel Bertrand removed to the West, Eugene Fairfax, as we have seen, accom panied him ; ari l coming of age shortly alter, he had accepted the liberal oiler of his noble benefactor, to remain with him in the capacity of private secrelary and confilential agent. On taking possession of his grant, the Colonel had almost immediately erjeted a fort, and of fered such inducements to settlers as to speedr i!y collect around him quite a little communi ty of which, as a matter of course, he became the head and chief; and to supply the wants of his own family and others, and increase his gains in a legitimate way, he had opened a store, and filled it with goods from the Eastern marts, which goods were transported by land over the mountains to the Kanawha. and thence by rtater to the Falls of the Ohio, whence their removal to Fort Bertrand became an easy matter. To purchase and shin these eoous. and deliver a package of letters !o friends in ha East, Eugene had been thrice dispatched his third commission also extending to the escorting of the beautif ul heiress, w ith her servants, to her new home. This last com mission had been so far executed at the time chosen for the opening of our storv. as to bring th? diiierent parties to the mouth of the reat Kanawha, whence the reader his seen them ilow I v floating off upon the still, glassy bosom of "the belle of rivers." The day, which was an auspicious one. pass ed without anything occurring worthy of note, until near four o'clock, when, as Blanche was anding on the fore part of the deck gazing at the lovely scene which surrounded her, she saw a seemingly flying bodv suddenly leave a limb ot a gigantic tree, (whose mighty bran ches extended far over the aiver, and near which the boat was then swayed by the action of the current,) and alight with a crash upon the deck of the boat, not more than eight teet from her. One glance sufficed to show her what the object was, and to freeze the blood in her veins. The glowing eyes of a huge panther met her gaze. The suddenness of the shock which this discovery gave her was over- With a deafening shriek she fell ' "-D- . , .r.Lj- unon her knees and ciaspeu r-er ua.ius ueiore her breast. The panther crouched lor his deadly leap, but ere he sprang, tne iiunun knife of Eugene t ainax (wno, witn inc steers man, was the only person on deck besides Blanche,) was buried to tne nut m nis siue, inflicting a severe bat not fatal wound. The infuriated beast at once turned upon Eugene, and a deadly struggle ensued. Hut it was a short one. The po.ished blade of the knife rdaved back and forth like lightning flashes, and at every plunge it was buried to the hilt in the panther s body, who soon fell to the deck,dragging the dauntless Eugene with him. On seeing her protector fall, Blanche uttered another shriek and rushed to his aid; but as sistance from stouter arms was at band. The boatmen gathered round, and the savage mon ster was literally hacked in pieces with their knives and hatchets, and Eugene, covered with blood, was dragged from under his carcass. Supposing him to be dead or mortally wound ed, Blanche threw her arms around his neck, and gave way to a passionate burst of grief, But he was not dead he was not even hurt, witn the exception of a few slight scratches The blood with which he was covered was the panther s, not bis own. But Blanche's em brace vas his a priceless treasure an index of her heart's emotions and affections. It was to color his whole future life, as will be seen in the progress of our storv. Slowly and silently,save the occasional creak, dip, and plash of the steersman's oar, the boat of our voyagers was borne along upon the bo som of the current, on tho third night of the voyage. The hour was waxing late, and Eu gene, the only ono astir except the watch, was suddenly startled, by a rough hand being pla ced upon his shoulder, accompanied by the words, in the grun voice of the boatman : "I say, Cap'n, here's trouble !" "What is it, Dick 1" inquired Eugene, star ting to nis iee. "Don't you see thar's a heavy fog rising, that'll soon kiver ns up so thick that we won't be able to tell a white man from a nigger V replied the boatman Dick Winter by came a tall, bony, muscular, athletic specimen of his class. 'Good heaven ! so there is !" exclaimed Eu gene, looking oil upon the already misty wat ers. "It must have gathered very suddenly, for all was clear a minute ago. What is to be done now t This is something I was not pre pared for, oo such a night as this." "It looks troublous, Cap'n, 1 ii allow,-' re turned Dick ; "but we'er in for't, that's sar tin, and I s'pose we'll have to make the best on't." "But what is to be done 7 what do you ad vise V asked Eugene, in "a quick, excited tone, that indicated some degree of alarm. 'Why, ef you warn't so skeered about the voung ladv, and it warn't so dead agin the or ders from head quarters, my plan would be a cl ar and easy one I d just run over to the Kaintuck shore, and tie up." "No, no," said Eugene, positively; "that will never do, Dick that will never do! 1 would not think of such a thing for a mo ment ! We must keep in the current by all means!" "Ef you can," rejoined the boatmen ; "hut when it gits so dark as we can't tell one thing from t'other, it'll be powciful hard to do ; and ef we don't run agin a bar or bank afore morn ing, in spite of the best o' us, it'll be the luck iest go that ever I had a hand in. See, Cap'n it's thickening up fast ; we can't see eyiher bank at all, nor the water cyther ; the stars is gettin' dim, and it looks as if tharwar a cloud all round us." "I see ! I sec ! returned Eugene, excitedly. "Merciful Heaven! I hope no accident will befall us here ! and yet my heart almost mis gives me ! for this, I believe, is the most dan gerous part of our journey the vicinity where most ot our boats have btea captured by the savages." Saving this, Eugene hastened below, where he found the other boatmen sleeping so sound ly as to require considerable effort, on his part, to wake them. At last, getting them lairiy roused, he informed them, almost in a whis per, for he did not care to disturb the others, that a heavy fog had suddenly arisen, and he wished their presence on deck, immediately "A fog, Cap'n ?"' exclaimed one, in a tone which indicated that he comprehended the peril with the word. "IJush!" returned Eugene; "there is no necessity for waking the others, and having a scene. L p ! and follow me, without a word ! lie glided back to the deck, and was almost immediately joined by the boatmen, to whom he brienv made known his hopes and fears. They thought, like their companion, that the boat would be safest if made last to an o verhanging limb of the Kentucky bhore ; but frankly admitted that this could not now be done without difficulty and danger, arrd that there was a possibility ol keeping tho cur- tent. "Then make that possibility a certainfy.and it shall be the best night's work you ever per formed!" rejoined Eugene, ma quick, exci tone. "We'll do the best wo can, Cap'n." was the response; "but no man can be sarlin ot the current of this here crooked stream in a foggy night." A long silence followed the voyagers slow ly drifting down through a misty darkness im penetrable to the eye when, suddenly, our young commander, who was standing near the bow, felt the extended branch of an overhang ing limb silently brush his face, lie started, with an exclamation of alarm, and at the same moment the boatman on the right called out : "Quick, here, boys ! we'ro agin the shore, as sure as death !" Then followed a scene of hurried and anx- confusion, the voices of the three boatmen mingled together in loud, quick, and excited tones. "Push off the bow !" cried ono. "Quick! altogether, now ! over with her!" shouted another. The de'il's in it ! she's running aground here on a muddy bottom !" almost yelled a third. Meantime the laden boat was brushing along against projecting bushes ami overreaching limbs, and every moment getting more and more entansled: while the long poles and sweeps of the boatmen, as they attempted to push her ofLwerc olten plunged,v. ltnout touch ing bottom, into what appeared to oca soil, clayey mud, from which they were only extri cated by such an outlay ol strengtn as tenaea still more to drrw the clumsy crau upon me Aank they wished to avoid. At lmgth, scarcc- v a minute from the first alarm, mere was a kind of settling together, as it were, and the boat became fast and immovable. The fact was announced by Dick V inter, in his characteristic manuer who added, with an oath, that it was just what he expected. For a moment or two a dead silence followed, as if each comprehended that the matter was ono to be viewed in a very serious light. "I'll tret over the bow, and try to git the lay of the land with my feet," said Tom Harris ; land forthwith he set about the not very plea sant undertaking. At this moment Eugene heard his name pro nounced by a voice that seldom failed to ex cite a peculiar emotion in his breast, and now sent a strange thrill through every nerve ; and hastening below, he found Ulanche, ruuy dres sed, with alight in her hand, standing just outside of her cabin, in the regular passage which led lengthwise through tho centre of the boat. "I have heard something, Eugene" she said, "enough io know that we have met with an accident.but not sufficient to fully comprehend its nature." "Unfortunately, about two hours ago," re plied Eugene, "we suddenly became involved in a dense fog ; and in spite of every precau tion and care, we have run aground it may be against the Ohio shore it may be against an island it is so dark wc can't tell. But be not alarmed, Miss Blanche," he hurriedly added ; "I trust we shall soon be afloat again ; though in any event, the darkness is sufficient to con ceal us from the savages, even were they in the vicinity." "I know little of Indians" returned Blanche, "but I have always understood that they are somewhat remarkable for their acuteness of hearing ; and if such is the case, there would be no necessity of their being very near, to be made acquainted with our locality, judging from the loud voices I heard a few minutes ago." "I fear we've been rather imprudent," said Eugene, in a deprecating tone ; "but in the excitement " His words were suddenly cut short by sever al loud voices of alarm from without, followed by a quick and heavy trampling acrosss the deck ; and the next moment Seth Harper and Dick Winter burst into the passage, the former exclaiming : "We've rrn plum into a red nigger's nest, Cap'n, and Tom Harris is already butchered and scalped !" And even as he spoke, as if in confirmation of his dreadful intelligence, there arose a se ries of wild, piercing, demoniacal yells, fol lowed by a dead and ominous silence. So far we have followed the lovely heroine and her friends in this adventure ; but the foregoing is all that we can publish in our col umns. Ihe balance of the narrative can only be found in the New York Ledger, the great family paper, which can be obtained at all the periodical stores where papers are sold.
