Evening was approaching, when the party halted
at a part of the route, where for many miles the

and broken hills, often rising almost perpendic

now when the leveling plow of the farmer has

down the ail.• of each hill, and Lis cattle have

was confined in a wide braid it the neek and
bung loosely about her shoulders. Her sh o rt,
dress of blue cloth was resulted at the waist by
a belt of wampum and ornamented at the bottom
with a double row of brooches. Her bright
*earl. r legging and deer akin moccasins were den.
orate.; with the dyed quills of the porcupine, and
as she stood there in all the unrestrained and
natural grace of her wild beauty, she presented
a figure of female elegance and symmetry that
many a proud belle might have been glad to
claim The eyes of the young men rested upon
her for a moment and then turned towards each
other, for she had advanced noiselessly and stood
where but a moment before the grind had been
unoccupied Again the fingers of felph were

girl observed him and said in their dwo language.
"Tbe white men have finished the work of the

The deep dark midnight of the Genesee forest
eurrouoded the camp ..f General Sullivan, ren
dered still more deep and dark by the red glow
of the low fire that served to show tie situation
of the camp. All was still. The sentinels had
grown careless and the fires had gradually less•
coed in brilliancy, till a low line of red light
barely defined the outline of the camp, and ex
tending into the lake upon the margin of which
it was so closely situated, that the shadow of
more than one tent fell upon the water. In one
of these sat the Commander of the expedition
with several of his officers.

"Boyd is a thorough fellow, I hope that may
account for his long delay, but I sometimes fear
his zeal may I,•ad him into danger "
"No one knows better how to meet it," said
one of the party
"The sentinels have replenished the fires, I
should think, by the light upon the Lake," re-
marked Sullivan, after a moment's silence.
"Sentinels," said a new comer, and Boyd en'
fe t ed the door, "the sentinels are asleep every
man upon his post; Honyerry could have scalped
them all "
"Boyd," exclaimed his General, "we are right
glad to see you; you must have found plenty of
work to have kept you so long."
"A patch here and there, whibh we were care
ful to destroy."
"Where is Ilonyerry?—we wish to consult

c.inuot be far from here When that is destroy

"Ilonyerry is lighting the fires of the sleeping

Ilonyerry was a friendly Oneida, the guide of

now Honycrry came into the camp under the
soling conviction that 4t no very distant place a
body of Indians were collected. Along the
Moseys he hal seen that the wigwams had been
but recently'lleserted Their squaws and their
papooses were near, and their warriors would pro
tect them. When Flonyerry rolled himself as
his blanket and slept quietly, the soldiers grew
oarless, and relaxed their vigilasoir, but wow that
Hooyerry wattled of danger, all were ow the
alert Twl hours had passed away is tbe coun

Flonyerty whispered in his favorite Boyd, sad

of an owl. A step or two in the direction indi
cated by the Oneida, showed him the quick ears
of the guide bad not been deceived. A tall
figure glided of at his approach, and took the
direction of the lake Boyd followed,, but the
Indian sprung for the canoe, which shot a few
feet away from him, and he fell in the margin of
the lake. The grasp of Boyd was upon him and
both struggled in the water. The white man had
the advantage, sod the Ladies seeing.the hope
lessness of the contest exerted just strength
sufficient to render his opponent eonfident of be

reached the boat, when the Indian suddenly gave
a spring, the boat was lying a few feet away, bay
ing apparently drifted towards them,—One arm
was around his foe, with the other hand he grasp
ed the side of the canoe--his body had appeared
above its side, when he was clasped around the
neck, and soon lay prostrate in the boat's bottom,
where Ilonyerry had during this time been con
oealed. Ere the officers bad dispersed, Monato,
(for it was ho,) was carried a prisoner to the tent.
A weary sentinel was Fleetly, as be kept his post
that night beside the tent of lionyerry and
Boyd, and despite his efforts, more than once his
mind had wandered off to the land of dreams,
and a form of strange, add beauty had been be•

upon but oner lie strove to keep awake, but
h,• loved to indulge in that state of dreamy con ,
seiousness, when, though we have a sort of in•
definite idea that we are dreaming, our thoughts
have all the luxury of reality From one of
these reveries Huntly was aroused, just as the
first faint streak of light appeared across the lake,

She would save him, but vhe•lovee him not.

"The warrior will laugh at Itiv squaw. Wis

" Will the white man release Monato?"
"If she will come."
"She will; when the stars begin to go out

" Monato shall be free; but Wistawala must

knife from bit belt.
Where is Monato?" iluntly pointed to the
tent close beside him She took the knife and
entered. A moment and two forms glided into
the forest.
The morning light had scarcely penetrated the
recesses of the forest, when the camp of Sullivan
was astir The escape of the Indian prisoner
was considered an act of agility on his own part,
until a moccasin imbedded in the soft mud of the
lake shore, which exactly fitted the smaller of
two foot prints that had passed there, showed
that - another agency had been employed. A
council was immediately called, at which it. was
decided that the army should hasten forward', and

Went were but just in advance of them, before
they should have time to make use of the infor.

a detachment, therefore, to guard the sick and the
provisions, the main body hastened forward.
NIGHT SECOND
Night again came down upon the camp of
lien Sullivan; but now it spread its sable folds
over the tired soldiers, as they sunk to rest be
side the Concocts, soother of the beautiful little
lakes of Western New York. Again the cow
wander of the expedition sits surroundell , bi his
officers. One is standing before his General,
with the glow of patriotism in his eye, and the
energy of a brave spirit in his voice.
" It is a necessary measure, the commander
ought to know the position of the foe; with Hon
yerry for a guide, and a little ban d of picked
men,
I do not fear to penetrate into their forests,
and learn their disposition and strength."
" Boyd," replied his General, "tbe offer is

which were deserted. Encouraged by this to
think the enemy had vacated the region, Boyd
dispatched two runners to his General, and stay:
ed awhile at the las , mentioned place to rest.
But their progress had been watched. The
demoniac tory :eadqrs of the Indians were pre
paring for their destruction. They knew the bra
very .pf the gallant Boyd, and the sagacity of
the Oneida, and wisely concerted their plans.
N Wilt THIRD
It was early twilight. when the party return•
log to the camp, had reached the place where the
paths of the villages met, and deceived by the
apparent absence of the enemy, even HosErry
proceeded with less than his usual caution. They
had reached a hill almost within sight of the
army, when the smothered war *hoop of the
enemy came ringing in their ears, and the little
band of brave men were surrounded by the foe.
On every side was a barrier of dark forms. Sum
mooing his men in an instant, Boyd was prepar
ed to undertake the only possible means of escape,
he levied his whole force to break through the
enemy's ranks Driven back bat not dispirited,
again tbey returned to the same attempt, and
again failed. At last, reduced to eight, and al:
most hopeless, they rushed for the last time
against the enemy Two only escaped. Three
mere taken prisoners, the rest were left dead
upon the ground One of the prisoners, bore
the name of private Barker, the others were
Huntly and Rolph
Hurriedly the Indians bore their prisoners
back to Little Beard Town, and when deep night
fell upon the Valley of the Genesee, their dark
forms were seen beside the war fire, stamped with
all the ferocity of their natures, when about to
glut their vengeance by the tonne of a prisoner.
Brief time only had been allowed to the wall for
their dead, for well they knew that at daylight
the army of Gen. Sullivan would be in pursuit
of them First Barker and then Rolph fell each
a victim to the horrid cruelty of their savage
captors Bundy was alone, and an old chief
advanced,—
" The Indians have lost their braves, cut down
by the strong arts of the pale faces. Monaco
is among the dead, and Wistawala would adopt
the pale face brave in the place of her Indian
lover 'Will the young brave live with the Senecas?
Wistawala is fair; will be be her brave? Will he
fill the place of "Monaco?"
Within an hour Handy was on hie marsh to
over take the Senecas, who bad started for a
distant hunting ground, far towards the setting
sun He had goue to be the brave, the chosen
brave of Wistawala
