Westmoreland county, by a band of Indians, under the command of the famous Seneca chief, Guyasutha, is taken from the detailed account of the affair in the Greensburg Argus of 1836. The burning of Hannastown and the massacre that followed took place July 13, 1782. The centenary was observ ed with appropriate ceremonies at the scene of the terrible occurrence, and this account of that terrible day will be read with interest. It is as follows: About three miles from Greensburg, on the road to New Alexandria, there stands two modern built log tenements, to one of which is a sign-post and a sign appended, giving due notice that at the "Seven Yellow Stars" the way farer may partake of the good things of this world. Between the tavern and the Indian gallows hill on the west once stood Hannastown, the first place west of the Allegheny mountains where justice was dispensed according to the legal forms by the white man. The county of Westmoreland was establish ed by the provincial legislature on the 26th of February, 1773, and the courts directed to be held consisted of about thirty habitations, some of them cabins, but most of them aspiring to the name of houses, haviug two stories of hewed logs. There were a wooden court house and a jail of the like construction. A fort, stockaded with logs, completed the civil and mili tary arrangement of the town. The Crst Prothonotary and Clerk of the Courts was Arthur St. Clair, Esq., afterwards General in the Revolutiona ry army. Robert Hanna, Esq., was the first presiding justice in the courts; and the first Court of Common Pleas was held in 1773. Thomas Smith, Esq., afterwards one of the Judges on the Supreme Bench, brought from the east the most abstruce learning of the profession, to puzzle the backwoods lawyers; and it was here that Hugh Henry Breckinridge, afterwards also a Judgo of the Supreme Bench, made his debut in the profession which he after wards illustrated and adorned by his genius and his learning. The road first opened to Fort Pitt by Gen. Forbes and bis army passed through the town. The periodical return of the court brough together a hardy, adventurous, frank and open-hearted set of men from the Redstone, the Georges creek, the Youghiogheny, the Monongahela, and the Catfish settlements, as well as from the region, now in its circumscribed limits, still called "Old Westmoreland." It may as well be supposed that on such occasions there was many an up roarious merry-making. Such men when they occasionally met at courts, met joyously. But the plough has since gone over the place of merry making ; and no log or mound of earth renains to tell where justice had her scales. On the 13th of July, 1782, a party of the townsfolk went to O'Conner's fields, about a mile and a balf north of the village, to cut the harvest of Michael Huffnagle. ***** The summer of 'B2 was a sorrowful one to the frontier inhabitants. The blood of many a family had sprinkled their own fields. The frontier north west of the town was almost deserted ; the inhabitants had fled for safety and repose toward tbe Sewickley settle ment. At this very time there were a number of families at Miller's station, about two miles south of the town. There was, therefore, little impediment to the Indians, either by way of resist ance, or even in giving warning of their approach. When the reapers had cut one field, one of the number who had crossed to the side next the woods, returned in great alarm, and reported that he had seen a number of Indians approaching. The whole party ran for the town, each intent on his own satety. The scene which then present itself may be more readily conceived than descrilted. Fathers peeking for their wives and children, and children calling upon their parents and friends, and all hurrying in a state of conster nation to the fort. Some criminals were confined in jail, the doors of which were thrown open. After some time it was proposed that some person gbould reconnoiter, and relieve them from uncertainty. Four young men, David Shaw, James Brison, and two others with their rifles, started on foot through the highlands, between that and Crabtree creek, pursuing a direct course towards O'Couner's Gelds; whilst Capt. J , who happened to be in the town, pursued a more cir cuitous route on horseback. The captain was the first to arrive at the fields, and his eye was not long in doubt, for the whole force of the savages was there mustered. Ho turn- cd bi« b< r-f to fly, but was observed and pursued. \\ Len he had proceeded I |:-L-,rt distance, be n:et the four on ' foot te!d it em to fly for their lives— ( that the savages were coming in great ' force—that he would take a circuitous route and alarm the settlements. He went to Love's, where Frederick Beaver now lives, about a mile and a , quarter east of the town, and assisted i the family to fly, taking Mrs. Love on the horse behind him. The four made ! all speed for the town, but the fore ' most Indians obtained sight of them, j and gave them hot pursuit. By the j time they had reached the Crabtree j creek, they could hear the distinct foot j falls of their pursuers, aud see the sun ! beams glisten through the foliage of the trees upon their naked skins. When, however, they got into the mouth of the ravine that led up from the creek to the town, they felt almost secure. The Indians, who knew noth ing ot the previous alarm given to the town, and supposing that they would take it by surprise, did not fire, lest that might give notice of their approach; this saved the lives of David Shaw and his companions. When they got to the top of the hill, the strong instinct of nature impelled Shaw to go Grst in to the town and see whether his kindred had gone into the fort, before he entered it himself. As he reached his father's threshold and saw all with in desolate, he turned aud saw the savages, with their tufts of hair flying in the wind, and their brandished tomahawks, for they had emerged into the open space around the town, and commenced the war-hoop. He resolv ed to make one of them give the death halloo, and raising his rifle to his eye, his bullet whizzed true, for the stout savage at whom ne aimed bounded in to the air and fell upon his face. Then with the speed of an arrow he fled for the fort, which he entered in safety. The Indians were exasperated when they found the town deserted, and after pillaging the houses, they set them on fire. Although a considerable part of the town was within rifle range of the fort, the whites did but little execution, being more intent on their own safety than solicitous about destroying the enemy. One savage, who put on a military coat of one of the inhabitants, paraded himself so ostentatiously that he was shot down. Except this one, and the one laid low by Shaw, there was no evidence of any other execution, but some human bones found among the ashes of one of the houses, where they, it was supposed burnt those that were killed. There were no more than 14 or 15 rifles in the fort; and a com pany having marched from the town some time before, in Lochry's ill-fated campaign, many of the moat efficient men were absent; not more than 20 or 25 remained. A maiden, Jeannet Shaw, was kilted in the fort; a child having run opposite the gate, in which there were some apertures through which a bullet from the Indians oc casionally whistled, she followed it, and as she stooped to pick it up, a bul let entered her bosom—she thu3 fell a victim to her kindness of heart. The savages with their wild yells and hid eous gesticulations, exulted as the flames spread, and looked like demoni acs rejoicing over the lost hopes of mortals. Soon after the arrival of the ma rauders, a large party of them was ob served to break off, by what seemed concerted signals, and march towards Miller's station. At that place there had been a wedding the day before. Love is a delicate plant, but will take root in the midst of tho perils of gen tle bosoms. A young couple, fugitives from the frontier, fell in love and were married. Among those who visited the bridal festivity, were Mrs. II , and her two beautiful daughters from the town. John Brownlee, who then owued what is now the fine farm of Frederick J. Cope, and his family were also there. This individual was well known in frontier forage and scouting par ties. His courage, activity and gen erosity, and manly form, won for him among his associates, as they win everywhere, confidenco and attach ment. Many Indians were acquainted with his character, some of them had probably seen his person. There were in additiou to his mansion a number of cabins, rudely constructed, in which those families who had been driven from their homes resided. The station was generally called Millerstown The bridal party wero enjoying them selves iu the principal mansion, with out the least shadow of approaching danger. Some men were mowing in the meadow—people iu tbe cabins were variously occupied—when sud denly tho warhoop, like a clap of thun der from a cloudless sky, broke upon the their astonished ears. Tho people in the cabins and those in the mead ows mostly made their escape. One incident always excites emotions in my bosom when I bear it related. Many who fled took an east course, over the long steep hills which.ascend toward Peter George's farm. One man was carrying his child, and assisting his mother in the flight. When they got to the top of tbe hill, the mother exclaimed they would be murdered, the savages were gaining space upon them. The son and father put down and abandoned his child that be might effectually as&ist his mother. Let those disposed to condemn keep silence until the same struggle of nature takes place in their bosoms. I'crhapß he thought the savages would be more apt to spare the innocence of infancy than the weakness of age. But most likely it was the instinct of feeling, and even a brave man had hardly time to think under such circum stances. At all events, Frovidence seemed to smile on the act, for at the dawn of the next morning, when the father returned to the cabin, he found his little innocent curled up on his bed, sound asleep, the only humau thing left amidst the desolation. Let fathers appreciate his feelings : wheth er tbe Indians had found the child and took compassion ou it, and carried it back, or whether the little creature had been unobserved, and when it be came tired of its solitude, had wander ed Lome through brush and briers, will never be kuown. The latter sup position neon' 9 most probable from be ing found in its own cabin and on its j own bed. At the principal mansion, I the party were so agitated by the cri»-s of women and children, mingling with the yell of the savag< a that all were for a moment irresolute, an 1 that moment sealed their fate. One I young man of powerful frame grasped i a child near him, which happened to : be Brownleo'B, and effected hiaesenjic. ' He was pursued by three or four sav ages. But his strength enabled him to gain slightly upon his follower*, when he came to a rye fi»-ld, and taking advantage of a thick copse, which by a sudden turn intervened be tween hitn and them, he got on the fence and leaped far into tho rye, where he lay down with the child. He heard the quick tread of the sav ages as they passed, and th'-ir >1 itver steps as they returned, muttering their guttural disapj uinmeut. That man lived to au honomble old age, but in now no more, liiownlee made his way to the door, buviug seized a fifle ; he saw, however, that It was a desperate game, but. m.ide a rnsh at some Indians who were entering the gate. The shrill, cle-ir voice of his wife exclaiming, "Jack, will you leave me ?" and he sat down besides her at the door, yielding- himself a willing victim. The jiiirty were made prisoners, including tiio bridegroom and bride, aud several u! the family ol Miller. At this point of time, Capt. J was seen coming up the lane in full gallop. The Indians were cer tain of their prey, and the prisoners were dismayed at his rashness For tunately he noticed the peril in which he was placed in time to save him self. Eagerly bent upon giving warn ing to the people, his mind was so engrossed with that idea, that he did not see the eu«my untiil he was within full gun shot. When be did see them and turnod to fly, several bullets whis tled by him, one of which cut his bridle rein, but he escaped. When those of the marauders who pursued the fugatives returned, and when they had safely secured their prisoners and loaded them with their plunder, they commenced their retreat. Heavy were the hearts of the women and maidens as the were lead iDto captivity. Who can tell the bit terness of their sorrow ? They looked as they thought, for the last time upon the dear fields of the country, and of civilized life. They thought of their fathers, their husbands, their brothers, and as their eyes streamed with tears, the cruelty and uncertainity which hung over their fate as prisoners of savages overwhelmed them in dispair. They bad proceeded about half a mile, and four or five Indians near the group of prisoners, in which was Brownlee, were observed to exchange rapid sentences among each other and look earnestly at him. Some of the prison ers had named him; and whether it was from that circumstance, or because some of the Indians had recognized bis person, it was evident he was a doomed man. He stooped slightly to adjust his child on his back, which he carried on his back, in addition to the luggage which they had put upon him; and, as he did so, one of the Indians who had looked so earnestly at him stepped to him hastily and buried a tomahawk in his head. When b« fell the child was quickly dispatched by the same individual. One of the women captives scream ed at this butchery, and the same bloody instrument and ferocious baud immediately ended her agony of spirit. God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, and He enabled Mrs Brownlee to bear that scene in speechless agony of woe. Their bodies were found the next day by the settlers and interred were they fell. The spot is marked to this day in Mecbling's field. As the shades of evening began to fall, the marauders met agaiu on the plains of Hannastown. They retired into the low grounds of the Crab tree creek, and there regaled themselves on what they had stolen. It was their intention to attack tho fort the next morning before the dawn of day. At nightfall thirty yeomen, good and true, had assembled at George's farm, not far from Miller's, determined to give, that night, what succor they could to the people in the fort. Tbey set off to the town, each with his trusty rifle, some on horseback and some on foot. As soon as they came near tbe fort the greatest caution and circum spection was observed. Experienced woodsmen soon ascertained that tho enemy was in Crabtree bottom, and that they might enter the fort. Ac cordingly, they all marched to the gate, and \iere most joyfully welcomed by those within. After some consulta tion, it was the general opinion that the Indians intended to make an attack the next morning: and, as there were but forty-five rifles in the fort, and about fifty-five or sixty mon, the contest was considered extremely doubtful, considering the great superi ority of numbers on the part of the savages. It became, therefore, a mat ter of the first importance to impress the enemy with a belief that large rein forcements were arriving. For that reason the horses were mounted by active men and brought at full trot over the bridge of plank that was across tbe ditch which surrounded the stockading. Thiß was frequently re peated Two old drums were found in the fort, which were uew braced, and music on the fife and drum was kept occasionly going during the night. While marching and counter-march ing, tbe bridge was frequently crossed on foot by the whole garrison. These measures had th« desired effect Tho military music from the fort, the tramping of the horses, and the march ing over the bridge, were borne on he silence of the night over the lowlands of the Crabtree, and tbe sounds car ried terror into the bosoms of the cowardly savages. They feared the retribution which they deserved, and fled shortly after midnight in their stealthy and wolfe-like habits. Three hundred Indians, and about sixty white savages in the shape of refugees, (as they were then called,) crossed the Crabtree that day with the inten tion of destroying Hannastown and i Milkr's station.

[From the Wheeling Intelligencer, of Jane 29.] The Republican party ever since it* ( origin has l>een a party of positivacon ' victions wud reform ideas. It has not j been a party of negation. It is tha j most aggressive political organization jin the history of the Government, j Commencing in 1856 with the proposi | lion that freedom is national and 1 slavery sectional, it undertook to make crood this proposition as respects all | the territories of the United States. It held that the Constitution did not carry 1 slavery into the territories. Upon this proposition it carried the country in ISCO. At every step of the agitation of this subject befoio the war it was antagonized Ly the Democratic party, which was so completely a party of the South and of slavery that it held that the C cal steps in tli« conduct of the war. He only yielded at the last to the suc cessive svapi-b i.f this influence, after thu fullin-.--, ot time, and thus became tl e exponent oi the fully matured con victions and purposes of the vital ele ment in the Re|m->lican party. TLe same iui|» l!ing influence was at wurk nil throng It trie period of recon struction. '1 i»o Republican party re fused to take any steps backward or sacrifice any i.f tie logical results of the war, but carried on the work of restoration upon the same plane, as to what was right aud what was wrong in politics, upon which it demanded the prosecution of the war. We refer to this characteristic of the Republican party simply to explain the position which it has occupied several times on great public issues, notably on the question of honest finance. No party ever took greater risks for the right than did the Repub licans at the outburst of the greenback craze. But for the fact that the same old clement of the party, that was ever present with it as a good genius, push ed itself boldly to the front at that time, and put itself fearlessly upon tha intelligence and moral honesty of the people, this country would hare been bound hand and foot and delivered over to the heresy of unlimited irre deemable paper money, aud made the victim of another John Law paper money craze, with all its disastrous consequences. This saving element in the party de feated the third term craze, and saved the party from a crushing defeat in 1880. This same element is now as serting itself in Pennsylvania against the Camerons.—against the rule of spoils and bossism—and it is willing to take all the risks of defeat this year, in the confident faith and belief that it will rally the party next year as a great unbroken organization, on the same cardinal principle of a public recognition of what is wright and what is wrong in politics. This is the principle that underlies the contest in Pennsylvania. It is the best element of the party attempt ing to restore its ancient standard of steady and unrelenting reform in the administration of public affairs. It is an element that cares nought for men or spoils, nor for mere party success, but that, like the Golden Horse-Shoe knights of the legends, is always ready to do battle and dare defeat for that which is right. That it will finally succeed we have no more doubt than have of the correctness of its past policy. It is bound to succeed. Those who are now hesitating are those who have general ly been inclined to temporize in the face of the grand positions always as sumed by this element of the party. They will bring up the rear ranks in this contest as they always have in the past. It is the glory of the Repwbltcan party that it is not afraid to take risks of this sort. This is its distin guishing feature as an organization, aud always has been. It is not a par ty of negatives. It deals in some thing positive. And this is the charac teristic that always commends it at least in every great contest, to the sober judgment of the people. It always wins as against the Democratic party when the contest is for a well defined sound principle. Anawer (his.

Brown's Iron Bitters. As some lady visitors were going through a penitentiary, under the es cort of a superintendent, they came to a room in which three women were sewing. 'Dear me !'one of the visitors whispered. 'What vicious looking creatures! Pray, what are they here for V 'Because they have no other home. This is my sitting-room and they are my wife and two daughters,' blaudly answered the superintendent. The parishioners of a clergyman in Scotland, in expressing to him their aversion to the use of manuscript sermons, asked : 'What fars ye take up your bit papers to the pulpit ?' He leplied that it was best, for, really, he could not remember a sermon and must have his paper. 'Weel, weel, minister,' they retaliated, 'if ye canna remember the sermon, then diuna expect that we can.'
