=.._ As Samuel Bowditch, one lof the early set
, tier's on Grand riyer, in Ken ucky, was going

eCrosa patch of swamp, one ifterno6n, 'about
,half a mile from his dwelliing, to look'after
sonic, cattle, he heard a stiick. snap behind
him, and turning quickly rohnil, found him=
self confronted with a huge .savage, in all
( the hideoniness of his war „paint, and with
rifte,or niusketlevelled at - his head, the Muz
zle rwt. more than four feet from him. - BoW
ditehliiiriself had a ritic,in its hind, but he
k.new„thelndian. could sholt him before he
could raise it and fire, and he did not 'Make
the attempt, but immediately dropped it, to
, the ground and held .up hiA palms, in token
_of submission. . • i
and
said: seeing this, the savage walked:up and
said: , ' • , „
. ..
"-Give Injun gun !" .
. ' "I see you're a big chie and I hope we
may be friends." . .
• , “Wliere live ?" asked 4ie savage, les he
prOduced a stout thong of deer-skin, and pro
, ceeded to bind the hands of his captive, who,
being a small man, saw he was no match for
:the other, even without we ipons on either
side, and 'so submitted quie,ly, though ago
nized at the thought of his poor, helpless wife
mid children in their lonely efibin over th e li i 11.
.' . f , I-live out yonder; not a great way from

in the proper direction. ' -:1 -
" Row many got ?" - queried the'sava.ge.
The settler hesitated about telling correctly.
He first thought he would 'Janine a number
. large enough to deter the Indian from going
thither, and thus, perhaps, have, his wife and
children from a fate like hip own, but after a
moment's reflection, it occurred to him that,
should the savage, take hint there, a chance
Might arise for him to regatnhisliberty, and
:he-decided upon speaking the truth.
f " Why no Long-knife tell i" demanded the
Indian, with an impatient frOwn. "No
I make lie !" ..
"NO, chief; tell you. he truth. There
are only three persons cabin—my wife
-;and two children—bui I know a big braye
thief like you won't hurt 'em."
"Me go see 'em !" returned the savage,
' with a fierce gleam of triumph, which the
Other did not fail to
Having tightly bound th 4 hands of his cap- .

his dress for any other weapons, took away
his'amMunition and putting both weapons
'Over his shoulder, told the white man to lead
We, way. This the ratter full of hope,
fear -and general anxiety, till he came in sight
• of his humble log dwelling,. situated in a
pleasant valley, through which flowed a pretty
little stream, a branch of "the Green river,
when the Itidian ordered [him to stop, and
proposed to make him ' fiist to a tree, by
t• means of another deer-skin thong secured to ;
: that around the wrists.
" Ain't yOu going to let hie go down to the
house with you ?" inquired the captive, now
_ beginning to - feel much alarm for the safety
of his family.
"Me-go alone 1" returnee the savage gruff
- ly. "Me big chief—want; scalp I"
" Oh, for God's sake, dOn't kill my poor,

'are a great chief, I know, and you'll remem 7 .
ber that they never did ydu any harm I"
" Long-knife scalp much goodl" rejoined
the Indian 'sullenly, as h finished • binding
the other to a- tree, and strode away down
- the hill, carrying the two weapons with Win.
Bowditch watched him, htep by step, as he
glided- away under cover of the trees, keeping
. some rock, stump; or clump of Welles between
him and the•inmatea of the dwelling, so they

that in his rage the savage,Would brain and

and-made one desperate effort to, free him

preservationthan from any hope of success.
But to his greatly, - his, unspeakable ;joy,
he 'heard' arid felt his bomis strain; crack and

,himself free and
his arms at liberty. He looked quickly and
ar,onnd, almost disposed to doubt his
senses—to discredit his good fortund-Lfor
any fortune seemed good- which - give him
even a bare chalice for his life where he ex
pected only certain death. The Indian was
at least a hundred and fifty yards from him,
and his rifle 'unloaded and with a start in a
race for life—in a race' that invorved not
'only his own life but that- of his wife and
childroie--whe so swift of :hot as to.overtake
him ?
nder !
on
With a loud yell Of - mingled joy and -defl
anee, away he went over the hill, and with a
louder yell of rage at his unexpected escape,
the fierce•savage came bounding after him.
BoWditch knew every inch ofgroutl' iri 'that
vicinity, and lie had already regained sari
dent presence of mind to sliape his course so
as to take advantage of all the chances in his
favor. The hill. about the- summit was Et
sudeession of mks: and bitshes, , with caves,
chasms and *precipices,
,and over, through,
and along these natural obStructions the fu
gitive believed be could make his way with
any man living, either white or rid, and so
took the most troublesome route for•his lar
ger and more unwieldy pursuer, resolved,
should he by, chance find the latter gaining
on him, to double on him at a certain Cave
not more than half a mile distant, where he
could enter, by-following one of the, labyrin
_thian passages within, and, could eotrie;out
61i the same Side into a thicket not more
EmE
ICE
than fifty,feet from the main opening.
tOokingback occasionally, as he fled along
his rdeky way with the ease of a mountain
goat, Bowditch soon discOvered that how
ever superior to him his adversary might .be
in mere physical Strength, he was no match
fOr him in speed in that particular locality;
and this not only inspired him with the hope
Of escape,: but , with such confidence' in his
own resources, that he began. to calculate in
turn how - best he might compass the destruc
tion of his foe.
, not lure him into the cave," he;
muttered; "and let him fool his time- round'
thar, Wkilst I, start back arter-my rifle, and
follow up the audacious whelp ? 171 do it,
and if I don't get even. with him, then it's a
clear case tortin's against trie."
- Having come to this determination, 'Bow:-
ditch slackened his chase till his pursuer was
in full view, when he -pretended to stumble
and fall, and then got up and ran with !sil
limp, which caused the savage to yell with.
ferce delight and redouble his - exertions'
overtake him. This was exactly what he in-'
tended,to bring about,. and he now managed
his pace with so much deception, that, though
seeming to exert himself to the utmost, he
permitted the pantin g savage to gain a little
every minute, till the mouth of the cave was
reached, at which time not'niore than a am
dred paces divided them. = The Indian saw
the fugitive disappear in the dark opening,
and believing that he now ' had hint secure'
'once more, he cameboundingueand plunged
in after him with a -yell- of triumph. The
settler, who knew every twist and turn of
,every passage in the cave—and there were
many—now uttered a sort of wailing groan
- from the center, to urge - the Indian on, and
then quietly slipped off in a different diree
tion, and reached the bright open-air about
the same time the, other did the middle of
-the interior.
"New, then ffr it," muttered Bowditch, as
he slipped over the brow of the hill and ran
, toward his dwelling, which, owing to the
.ridge bending round the valley, in the shape
of. n magnet, or horse shoe,was scarcely us
1, far distant as when be calld to his wife:,
His family saw him,. and with a cry ofj(iy
his wife threw open the door, -'
"Quick, Esther!" he exe,aimed, as he
came up panting•; ,t'other powder-horn and
some bullets—quick !"
"Ain't you coming in, Sanytel ?" inquired
the wife, in surprise and alarfii;
• "Just long enough to get!, thetri things,
since you wore-L " he answeticl4 as he hound
ed in and hurried to a rude shelf° on one side
of - the room, "I've sort o' played the: co - Ward
once to-day," he added, "and now lam go
ing to wipe it out. Shut -the door, Esther,
and keep yourself and the children out' of
danger. I'll be back shortly. Good-byil"
and without waiting for a reply, he ran out
in - the direction of his rifle, hiS wife Vainly
calling for him, and entreating him to come
back, and not risk his - life foolishly. . . •
As soon as he .once more got hold of his
rifle, he hastened to load it, and felt, as he
afterwards expressed it, "like a new Man."
Then keeping himself as much under cover
as possible, he hurried up to a point where
he could secrete hiinself and command a fair
view of the mouth of the cave, within' easy
rifle range..
' Paint-faCe haint he mut-
ter'ed; with an ominous frOwni 'At's riy opin 7
ion lie never will !" and like a cat watching
for game, he kept his eyes riveted upon the
spot where he expected' to see him appear.
Fors ten Minutes all was 'still=-nothing
Moved—and then, to his bitter satisfaction,
he beheld the : lndian : ,coming out 'with a
stealthy step, looking cautiously- and suspi
ciously around. Th rifle Of the settler was
already leveled, and fol. a Moment or two he
sighted directly , at his heart, and then fired.
The savage threw up - his hands convulsively,
uttered a noise between a groan and a yell,
and fell back quivering mrthe earth'. Boiv
ditch took time to reload; And then approach
ed him cautiously. He Found" hint-quite
dead..

IJ, attention to,the following article
tiaraHart:jibing - Telegraph, which ,
de
serves to be thought :Over carefully by men
of hlrparties... Its statements are matters

motenough to say that Andrew G. Curtin.-is
loyal and true to his country ; that he is earn

subdue the rebellion that while he IMs
'twined the Government, he has also found
care forthe Soldiers of Pennsylvania:
This 4 is' tntich, bin 'we 'Must also remember
that in his administration of the internal
affairs of the State he has been most vibe and

by his economy and skill to point out a 'way
by Which' the 'people , may- be relieved of
heiivy taxes, shows administrating talent of
the highestorder. This Andrew G. Curtin
has done. IrpOnlis re-election depend great
financial interests, and it will improire the
general prosperity of the people, by increas
ing the State; revenues_ and diminishing the
State taxes, it's certainly tis two and two, make
four : y • • . •
"When Andrew G. Curtin - assumed 'the
powers - and the duties of the ExecutiVe office
of Pennsylvania, 'we will not say the condi

Cif her GoVernment, in the various industrial
pursuits and corporate enterprise of the peo

of profound. peace, notwithstanding it was at
a-titne When the Democratic slave-drivers of
the South with their dpughface sympathizers
of the North, were dint:Acting their plans to

the year , 1862 the- receipts , ,from- ordinary
sources of revenue were in excess of receipts

three thousand one hundred and snientv-iix
dollars and eighty-two cents: (the -6:Xmas of

$144,095,87), and that the ordinary expenses
for 1,862 were ninety-five - thousand three
hundred and seventeen dollars and — Sixteen
tents less than the year previous! .
"This healthy condition of - the - revenues

economy which !was insisted; ";on by Gov:

_Ti' enue laws,
with a view to the legaiik ' "the burdens

Also recomniended'to the 'Legislature the jus
tice and expediency of restricting thq rate of
local taxation, which has been, and still is,
insome parts of the Commonwealth, oppres
sive. , Considering the increase of taxation
by the National, Government, and consider
ing, too; the enormous enlaroement of the
war expenses, theses igureS at once redound
"to the-credit of Gov. Curtin and the people
, of ,Pennsylyania. We want : the tax-payers
carefully, to ponder these fitcts. We want
tile tax-payers to remember,, in the first year
'of Andre* G. Curtin's adailnietration, that .
4e-increased the revenues of the • State one
;million thirty thousand one hundred and sixty
raix dollarc, and eighty-two cents; . and, that
the ordinary expenses of . the State for the
year 1862 were ninety-give thousand three hun
dred and seventeen dollars less than the year
previous : and that Andrew G. Curtin, by the
rigid economy which he enforced during his
entire administration, even while he was
equipping and sending out' thousands of sol
diers, white he was relieving the watitsof the
soldier's family, while he was succoring the
sick and wounded, 'and bringing the-dead
from the battle-field home to buqedainong
iiii
their kindred, was enabled to ccomrii end, in
the face of these extraordinary expenses, a
revision of the revenue lairs, With a - vieto, to
the reduction'of-the rate of local and 'State
taxation !
"The - Administration of no other State
Government in, the Union can point to such
a record for the past three years. The his
toiy of no Government in the world exhibits'
such results. These facts prove a rigid ecom
only and a wise statesmanship, entirely -due
to Andrew G. Curtin. They pat to. rest all
doubt as to his claims to a re-electlen. They
prove that in his hands the :interests of Ithe
.State and the welfare of the people .are safe.
Will the taxpayers of Pennsylvania accept
the proof? Will the people continue to re
pose - in Andrew G. Curtin the cOnfidence
and approval with which they attended his
steps during the past, for the coming three
.years? - If they do not, they niust expect in
creased
. taxation and enlarged indebtedness !.
.If they - do-if the people of Pennsylvania
decide (as we believe they will) 'to re-elect
Andrew G. Curtin Governor of the State--
just in proportion as the revenues have been
increased and the State taxes were reduced
for the past, so will these revenues, be in
creased and that taxation reduced' in the
coming year of another administration. This
is an important fact. It can be viewed - oray
in one light. It cannot be disputed or "mis
represented. - The result in figures of the in
crease of our revenue and. the reduction of
the - State taxes depend entirely upon the
contingency that Andrew G. Curtin becomes
GoVernor of Pennsylvania for three years
after the expiration of his present term., '
'Tax=payers of Pennsylvania, remember
these facts!"
SPEECH OF HON. N. It; BROWNE.
There was an immense Union meeting held
in Philadelphia to ratify the re-nomination
of Andrew G. durtin; fOr the gubernatorial
chair. There were addresses made from
- several stands. The proAdings were very
'spirited. The Hon. N. B: Brovine, Post-
Master of Philadelphia . under Buchanan's
administration, was chosen President of the
meeting, who, on taking the chair, made the
following address ;
I acknowledge the , honor of presiding over
.a meeting of BO many loyal Philadelphiani..
We acknowledge no party hat our country.
[Cheers.] We are for a vigorous prOsecution
- of The war until the last rebel shall uneoMi
tionally submit. We are for putting down
all foes, whether-they be domestic or,foreign.
These are the objects for which the loyal cit
izens propose ,to conduct the present cam
paign. [Cheers.] •
Identified Bs I tiVe' been all my life with
an opposite organization, there is not one of
_these objects that has not claimed my atten
tion since the first gun was fired upon Sum.
ter; and I have forgotten the traditions of the
Democratic party- if in my course there is
anything,inconsistent with the teachings. of
that party, from the clo,ys!of Jeirersorftto Jack

true. He says to think about slavery. is a

Judge Woodward is an avowed secession

the school in which lie was reared; He.holds
that, no man at the south carries' out the doc
trine of State rights more vigorously than
he. He would make this Union a_tnere or 7 _

CAN'T GO. VAIMA.NDIGHARL.
The Leading War Democrats of Cinciri=
nati and-Hamilton•county, haVe issued an
address; callingn Convention :"to determine
by what course we can best discharge our duty
to our country and - ourselves: daririg the pre
sent crisis of ow national affairs;" In their
address they say I . •
"A'crisis has rirrived, 'when it-becOmesire
cessary that the 1 voice of true -Democracy
should be heard in defenie of its sacred prin-•
ciples. Our country is in the midstof a civil
war, the magnittide of which has never been
equaled iii-the history of • the - world ; and
which has.been'forced upon us,. without a
palliating circumstance to justify the uctsof
those in rebellion against the Government.
The object_ of the strife, upon the part of the
Government, fifto_preserve - the bond of
political existence : —tO v,indicate the authori
ty of the Constitution, and maintain_ as a
nation our territorial landmarksimimpaired.
r lt is manifestly our duty es Dentoci•ats, in
the present crisis, to pledge the Government
not only all the men and
also
. which the
emergency requires, but also by our votes to
yield it that moral support so necessary to
the seedy accomplishment of its object:
It is the duty of theDemoffacy in this, the
agur -of the nations peril, to stand by their
Government, and to preserve to' themselves
and their"posterity the institutions and laws
of their country—and though, politically op- 4
posed to the present Administration, yet, the
will of the people having been fairly and con
stitutionally ex.pressed though the ballot box,
it is our duty as American citizens, respect
fully to yield obedience thereto.
The true - Democracy of Ohio, standing
where thy have ever stood, still maintain
the Deintieratic doctrines of freedornof speech
- freedom of the press, alree and untrammeled
ballot-box, personal liberty, and the due en
forcement of the Constitution and laws4--and
while they so belitv.:, and will so a2t; they
do_not4prove of that anxiety for personal
liberty which leads Some
_Democrats to for
get that their Government is struggling for
existence. • • .
This species of oppositiontends to paralyze
the arm of the Government, encOurges, trea
son, gladdens the rebel 'hosts, and if fostered
and•encouraged, our glorious Reptile must
fall.
Entertaining these Views, it - is clearly im
possible for ue to suppor; as our candidate for
Governor of the State of Ohio a man' who,
from the commencement of the war, has, as
we believe, placed, himself in 'direct opposi
tion to the Government, and who desires to
propoae terms of peace to traitors, who open
ly declare thy 'will accept peace on no . terms
short of a recognition of a Southern Con
federacy.
WoodWard;the Copperhead candidate foi
Gcivernor of this State, stands - upon identic
ally the same platform as Vallandidham,
whom the title Democrats of Ohio are re
pudiating. The Club of Philadelphia which

dorsed'the traitor Vallandigharn. How can
a true Demeerat in Pennsylvania support
principles which -his politiCal brother Of Ohio
feels bound to repudiate. -Is not. true De

Democrats acting in sympathy and harmony

TITE FOURTH OF JULVIS6R,
From the London Star f July 2)
- WITH DEEP, 'DEVOUT AND GRATEFUL JOY
we publish to-day the news of victories that
are the heralds of ahappy peace. Seldom; if
ever, has it been the lot of the journal*, to
gnnounce on the same -sheet two -events of
such transcendent importance as the' fall of
Vicksburg and the retreat of Lee. Thij glo
rious Fourth of July lies indeed received:a
glorious celebration. In tens of thousands of
Northern honies the birthday of Ameriqii
freedom was-being liept with mingled
and fcar, = -with blended - inetnoriesofjOy acid
sadness, of pride and humiliation. * Through
put RekEngland, and the populous Middle
States, and the vast North-west—in cities that
date back from our own heroic' seventeenth
century ~and iii cities that have sprung up
within the memory of living men upon the
site-of world-old forests or on virgin prairies
—around the Pilgrim's
_Rock and on the gold
sown strand of the Pacific—citizens- of the -
Great Republic spake with tremul6us lips, as
'beneath the-shade of laurels twined with cy
press, of their fathers' legacy of freedom, sand
of the deadly struggle in which -their own
brothers and sons were wrestling for the pre
servation of that glorious heritagethetnion
sacred alike to liberty and,law. :They knew
riot that on that very . day the' God .of their
country and of their sires—Abe God of justice
and of mercy—had vouch - sated to the com
monwealth a great &Wtranee. Their bro
ken ra.lways and telegraph lines delaytd the
happy tidings that on that same Fourth of
July the flat; of - the Union had been exalted
over the obstinate stronghold of rebellious
slave:masters, and the sun had risen upon the
greatest of their hosts in'dire retreat. 'What
ever remains to be done or suffered—whatever
hkttles to be fought or fortresses to besiege- , .-
, the arinies.and people of, the Union may at
'least rejilice, with u-nutterable gladness and
thanksgiving, that the boastful 'progress of
the'eneruy has been turned back and the very
Chiefest of his defences -broken dOwir.
THE STATEDEBT:
There is one proof of good or bad adminis 7
tration-of a State's affairs that alltpeople Will
'reeognia-e:and appreciate,- and that is found
in the management of its finances. Gov.
Curtin's' administration -tan be submitted,-to
this test. - He has just issued his proclama
tion announcing that the State debt has been
reduced, during the past year;Nine Hundred
and Fifty-four Thousand, Seven-Hundred
and Twenty Dollars. and Forty-Cents ($954,
't•lOdu.) So splendid a result, in a time of
war, is surprising, and the people of Penn
sylvania have reason to congratulate thein: ,
selves - upon it. The finances of the State,
have been wisely faithfully, economically
and honestly managed. Would it not be the
height of folly to change a State administra
tion that has done so well., and put new and
untried- men into office? Would 'it not be
ingratitude ,of the worst kind, to dismiss 'a
Governor who has proved -so faithful, and
under whose hands the burdens of State tak
ation are yearly coming down? We have no
'fears that Governor Curtin will be defeated.
The people know him; honor him and trust
him, and he has so many claims upon their
confidence, that it -is scarcely necessary to
bring 'before them this claim founded upon
his nduction of the' State debt. - But vie
want to see him re-elected .by .such a revising
Majority as will forever silence and crush
the Copperheads who are calumniating him
and trying, to brim , '' Pennsylvania_ into al
liance with the rebel States by electing Geo..
W. Woodward. We wantto haves the reb=
els and. Copperheads taught by Pennsylvania
a lesson like they have been taught by Maine,
but on a much larger scale.—Philadelphia

A BRA-VE hiArre ANswEtt.—General
Butler, in a speech lie- made while stopping
over night in XetvAlartipshird on his'-wgy to

they now ?" - "Some of them," replied Gen
eral Butler, with his customary promptness,
"lie sleeping beneath the sod; and othe. - 7s
are still tightingothe'battles of their Country;
while you remain here at home hiding the
caus'e of traitors!'
- In another portion •of his speech Genera
Butler said': . '
. "Will you- volunteer?" a voice' - replied;
"No." "You voted for Breckiriyidge,"Auld
