Letter from Fort Wayne, Indiana,
Fost YVath, Ind., May SI, 1878.
Mr. Editor Deu Sir: The defeat of the
allied tribes at Tippecanoe crippled the In
dians to such an extent that they never suc
ceeded in making another decided stand
against the whites, excepting the Miamias,
who were attacked and helplessly defeated
by Lieutenant John B. Campbell, on the
Miasissinewa river in 1812. Slowly and
surely they gave way to the steady step
pings of that people who were destined to
now the seeds of Christiany and Civilisation
Where once they dwelt :n all the nobleness
of their savage nature which, although
not exactly commendable, yet it is with
reelings of pity and regret that the student
of their history views their pitiable and sad
Tate. Long and bitter was the struggle
that ensued before ihey left del'encelicss the
graves of their lathers. Strong in the con
viction that their title to this great land was
a "fee simple" one, perpetual in its grant,
and stamped with the approval of the
Great Spirit," whose children they were,
is it any wonder that they sought to retali
ate on those who had invaded the sacred
precincts of their wigwams f who had
robbed and murdered their fathers when
under the influence of that "demon" which
was instrumental in tho accomplishment of
their 'hellish" designs t TTe answer in
the language of Logsn-No ; when he
came to my house and Was hungry, I fed
him; when he came cold and naked, I
clothed him s but, serpect-M!-e, when I held
him to my bosom until warmed to life, he
turned and stung me.' "Never," says Jef
ferson, "will I forget those mournful words,
"Who is there to mourn for Logan f"
In 1815 the Territorial Assembly passed
and presented to Congress memorial ask
ing for admission into the Union as a State,
and on the 7th of November, 1816, the Ter
ritorial Government was superseded by a
State Government. The question is often
asked why the growth of the State has been
so slow up to within few years ago ; but, in
comparing her condition witi that of mcst
of the States of the Northwestern Terri
tories, from a topographical and geograph
cal standpoint, many reasons present them
selves, which, when carefully examined,
will enable one to give a true solution to
this problem. In Illinois, as in all prairie
States where the natural advantages are
many to aid in the erection and easy way
for railroads, avenues of travel are quickly
opened up, and one year's immigration will
amount to more than ten in a State covered
with heavy forests, like Indiana was when
found in the first days of her settlement.
Where these forests prevail we generally
find the land swampy and wet, and until
they were cleared away and the land ex
posed to the influence of the sun and wind,
her interior was almost inaccessible ; and it
was only along navigable streams that roads
were to be found, and these were nothing
more than Indian trails, which in time be
came well-beaten highways; and experi
ence has proven that it takes twenty to
thirty years to make good roads in a soil
heavily timbered. In going from one set
tlement to another, and in making journeys
to and from mill, fcc, often days were cus
tomed, so great was the distance and the
inconvenience ot crossing streims, where,
perhaps, a temporary structure called a
bridge had been washed away by a freshet,
trees blown across the " highway," and
many other draw backs, "too numerous to
mention." Hence it will be very easy to
see that instead of the early settlers turn
ing their attention to questions of public
enterprise and general utility, ttey had to
devote all of their time to extorting from
the soil their daily sustenance, which they
considered paramount to public improve
ments. There is some difference in opinion as to
the geological formations that are found in
this State, but so strongly are the character
istics of the drift of the northern half of
the State marked, that the conclusions are
almost unanimous that this dritt is the re
sult of the Glacial period, and that its pres
ent distribution was effected by the agen
cies of ice and water. This drift is com
posed of sand, clay and gravel and numer
ous boulders of rock of crystalline and
tnetaphoric nature that are found embedded
In it. There are scarcely any positive ob
jections to refute or question the truth of
the upper or boulder drift proper as belong
ing to that period, while below this we find
a compact bed of clay whose dark lead color
is owing to the high state of impregnation
of lerric sulphide. Siliceous rock, gneiss,
greenstone and pebbles are found in this
bed corresponding with what is found in
surface formations. The age of this drift
is bard to ascertain, as no fossils are found
excepting the imperfect remains of forests
of semi-tropical trees, but the condition
and nature of it would lead to the belief
that is formation was accomplished by grad
ual depositions, nnlike other places found
where we are led to believe that the de
posits were the result of rapidly dissolving
glaciers. Superficial deposits are found in
the northern counties, while beneath them
are uniform strata Of rocks. These deposits
are mostly in ridges of almost pure sand,
and from their nature teem to mark the
gradual retiring or Lake Michigan to its
present margin. While the dip of the out
cropping rocks of the State are westward
yet it is not uniform, for we find in the
southern part the dip is westward about 80
feet per mile, while in the central part the
flip is south of west 20 feet per mile, and
in some places the strata are upheaved so
that many reversals take place. The Lower
Silurian formation presents the lowest rocks
of Uie State which come to the surface,
while the Devonian formation out:repa in
bear strata of limestone belonging to the
Csrniferous group extending from the Ohio
river to Monticello, where It disappears
under the northern drift A fine-grained
Mod-stone, known as the' argillacious, out
crops west of this, and is ranked by Michl
gn geologist with what is called Marshall
sandstone it is composed of limestone and
shales. This group in many other coun
tries present coal seams, but in this form
ation it is perfectly void of Seams of coal,
nhile in its shales perfect specimens of ma
rine fossils and coal plant are found. This
"knob sandstone" forms the floor of our
. I a - J
oe"s na marks the eastern line of
them. East of them all rocks outcropping
above the surface dip westward under them
and are geologically beneath tiem. A rray
Eastern sandstone of a course-grained na
ture, U noticed on the eastern margin of
the great Indiana coal field, ranging from
40 to 100 feet in thickness. It has the
characteristics of what English geologists
denominate " conglomerate or niilUtone
grit." Spaces exist between the massive
sandstone base and coal, which are occu
pied by beds of shale. Occasionally
stratum of limestone of an impure nature,
mingled with fire-clay and sandstone per
fect casts of sigillarias, catamites, ferns and
other beautiful and perfect specimens, which
geologists kive to study and admire, are
found in these shales, while the limestone
I furnWhes marine fossils of a atibcarbonifer
ous character. The specific gravity of the
j coal of Indiana is much less than that of
lue Appalachian system. A much less
freological disturbance, combined with an
elevation ot temperature aud the light pres
sure the fields are subjected to, says Prof.
Brown, would have a tendency to diminish
its gravity below that of the bituminous
system, although asimilsrity exist between
the seams of each field, and that in all prob
ability before the upheaval of the Miami
Axis" and the Carboniferous and Devonian
strata were divided they were united.
We would like to enlarge on the " Eco
nomical Geology of the State, but time
and apace will not permit, henae we will
glance casually at her natural facilities,
from a geological standpoint.
There are between 6,000 and 7,000 square
miles embraced in the coal fields of Indiana,
all of which is bituminous ; yet from the
peculiar properties it present it is divided
into two classes (if you will allow me to
express it in that way) known as "the free
burning " and the coking coals." The
first class is in blocks and is found at the
base of the coal measures in seams three to
five feet thick. These seams are often sep
arated with a conrse of shales, fire-clay and
sandstone ranging from twenty to thirty
feet in thickness. A bituminous shale,
named by the miners " black slste," forms
a roof over them, while a light-colored clay
usually is found underlying them. Perfect
lines of lamination are presented, caused
by a vertical fracture, which indicates that
the formation had been made of successive
layers, resembling hardened aspbaltum, aud
have no tendency to harden with heat.
Small fragment of charcoal are found, in
which fibers of wood are found almost per
fectly preserved. This charcoal, being uo
bituminiaed, causes ery little smoke to be
produced until bslf consumed, and on com
bustion resembles that of anthracite, leav
ing about four per cent, of ashes. Veiy
little sulphur or phosphorus is found in it,
and it has no tendency to run together into
cakes, bnt the blocks maintain their origi
nal shape until consumed, giving it the
peculiar properties necessary for the smelt
ing of ores, aud almost equal to charcoal in
the production ol pig iron. The upper
coals are highly bituminous, producing
much smoke, clinkers and ashes. Cannel
coal is also found in several counties in the
State. In fact, a vast amount of wealth lies
bidden beneath the soil of Indiana, waiting
for the hand of enterprise to reach down
and lift it up among the developed wealth
of the country. Large and rich varieties of
iron ore are fonnd at the base of the coal
measures, mingled with beds of shales in
the form of nodules several feet in thick-

Information of the robbery in the Post-
ofhee, of postage stamps and watches, was
scattered as speedily as possible on Monday
a week. On that day a despatch was re
ceived that a tramp had offered a watch-
case for sale to a watchmaker in Uarrisburg,
and had been arrested and would be held
subject to further proceedings. Mr. Wag
ner, who is conducting the watchmaking
and jewelry business in the Post-office
room, in this town, went to Ilarrisburg and
identified the case offered by the tramp,
who gave bis name as John Peters he
is a German.
The watch that belonged to ex-Sheriff Lou
don, and which was in for repairs, had been
sold te a colored man for $2.00, but was
also obtained. Chief Justice Cilly of Har
risburg brought the tramp to this place on
Wednesday, for lodgment in jail. Since
the arrival of the thief, a second watch has
been obtained at Ilarrisburg. It U the one
that Michael Stooer left at Wagner's for
. ... . .,j
repairs. 1 ne watcn naa aiso Decn sum io a
colored man. Tba last-nrentioned watch
was sent to Wagner ty Harrisburg author
ity on Saturday. More development are
expected. There is a talk of the United
State authority taking hold of Peters for
for robbery of the Post-office.
McClure's Times tells, in the following
way, in the issue of May 30, of the crook
edness of a former citizen of this county.
The Timet says: James B. Spiese, a Har
risburg lawyer, was convicted in the United
States District Court yesterday, before
Judge Cadwalader, for receiving as a fee
for the collection of a pension a sum in ex
cess of $25, the amoant fixed by the pen
sion laws, it being a criminal offense to
charge more to a client than this sum. The
evidence showed that Spiese had collected
$142.80 arrearages of pension dne Sarah
Collins, an old woman, whose husband had
been killed during the rebellion. Upon the
receipt of this amount Spiese told her, so
she swore, that be bad only obtained $390.
Out of this be then took $100 as a fee. and,
after giving her the balance, advised her to
deposit $150 in the bank. This she did, and
Spiese drew it all Ot and only gave her
$50 of it. The defense tried to break down
the old lady's story, and it was urged thst
the lawyer had performed other services for
her. The jury, however, rendered a ver
dict of guilty without leaving the box. Sen
tence was deferred.
"Recently, it hat become known that bees
are nicely hived in theeorniceof the Luther
an church in Licking Creek valley. The bees
enter the cornice at the end nearest the road.
How long they have been there is a ques
tion to conjecture at, with no probability of
a conclusion being reached. The bee, it is
reasonable to suppose, belongs to the per
quisites of the pastor, and therefore Rev.
Mr. Berry may be congratulated on the
prospect of a full supply of delicious honey
for next winter' use in the parsonage."

It may seem a little early in the campaign
to make announcement ot candidates for
