From Jones' 41istory of the Early Set tlement of the Juniata Valley," recently published, we copy the following account of the person from whom Jack's Mountain is said to be named : Among the first settlers in Aughwick Valley was Captain Jaok, certainly one of the most noted characters of the day. He was a white man, of almost Herculean proportions, with extremely swarthy com plexion ; in fact, he was supposed by some to be a half breed Indian, and by others a quadroon. His early history and real name aro altogether shrouded in mystery. He flourished about Shirleysburg between 1750 1762, when, with two or three companions ho went to the Juniata and built himself a cabin near a beautiful spring. His solo pursuit, it would appear, was hunting and fishing, by which he procured the means of subsistence. Late one summer evening, returning, with his companions from a fishing excur sion, Capt. Jack found his cabin in ruins, and his wife and two children murdered From that moment he became an altered man,•roaming the woods alone, sleeping in caves, hollow logs, or wherever ho could find shelter, The loss of his family no doubt crazed him for a time, as he did not appear among the settlers until the fall of 1753. In the interim, however, ho was frequently seen, and we may add frequent ly fell, by the savages. There is reason to believe that on the discovery of the wrongs done him, he made a vow to de vote the balance of his life to slaying Indi ans. If he did, right faithfully was his vow kept, for his fame spread far and wide among the red-skins. The settlers about Aughwich, as well as those in Path Val ley and along tho river, frequently found death savages, some in a state of partial de cay, and others with their flesh stripped by the baldmagles and their bones bleach ing in the sun on the spot where Jack's rifle had laid them low. On one occasion he lay concealed in the woods by the side of the Aughwick path, when a painted warrior, with a red feath er waving from his head, his body bediz ened with gewgaws recently purchased from a trader, came down the path—a crack from Capt. Jack's rifle, and the sav age bounded into the air and fell dead without a groan. It appears that three others were in the company, but had tar ried a t a spring : on hearing the discharge of the rifle, being under the impression that their companion had shot a bear or deer, they gave a loud ..whoop." Jack immediately loaded, and when the Indians came up to the dead body, he shot and killed a second one. His survivors then rushed into the thicket, and one of them getting a glimpse of Jack, shot at him, but missed. Seeing that the chances wore desperate, Jack jumped out and engaged in a ltand•to-hand encounter--the fourth savage being armed with a tomahawk.— Ho soon despatched the third by beating his brains out with his rifle ; but the fourth an athletic fellow, grappled, when a lung fight followed, and only ceased when both were exhausted by the loss of blood. Thu Indian managed to get away, leaving Jack the victor on the field of battle. Weak and faint though he was, he scalped the three savages, fixed those trophies upon bushes overhanging the path, and then without deigniej to touch their gewgaws or their arms, managed to work his way to the settlement, where his wounds, con sisting of eight or ton stabs were dressed. It is said that one night the family of an Irishman named Moore, residing in Augh wick, was suddenly awakened by the re port of a *gun ; on opening the door they found a dead Iritian lying upon the very threshold. By the feeble light which shone through the door, they discovered the dim outline of Capt. Jack, who merely said, "I have saved your lives," and disappeared. With an eye like the eagle's and a con stitution that could bravo the heat of sum mer us well as the frosts of winter, he roa med liko an uncaged tiger, the most formi dable foe that crossed the red man's path. Various were the plans and stratagetns re sorted to by the Indians to capture him, but they all proved unavailing. He fought them upon their own ground, with their own weapons, and adopted against them Their own merciless warfare. In strata gem ho was an adept, and in the use of the rifle his superior did net exist in his day and generation. These qualifications made him not only a terror to tho Indians, but fatuous among the settlers, who for their own protection formed a scout or company of rangers, and tendered to Captain Jack the command, which he accepted. This company was " LIBERTY AND UNION, NOW AND FOREVER, ONE AND INBEPARADI.E. HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1856. uniformed like Indians, with hunting shirts, leather leg,gins, and mocassins, and, as they were not acting under the sanction of the government,styled themselves Capt. Jack's Hunters. All the "hunting" done, however, after securing game to supply their wants, was probably confined to hunt ing for scalps of Indians ; and as it was a penal offence, then, to occupy the hunting grou ads of the Juniata Valley, (much more to %shed the blood of any of the savages,) it is not likely that the squatter "hunters" ever furnis hod the Quaker Proprietors with an official list of the killed and wounded. These exploits gave Jack a number of so briquets is the absence of his real name : ho was known as the ..Black Rifle," "Black Hunter," <<Wtld Hunter of the Juniata," &c. On occasion, with his band, he followed a party of marauding Indians to the Conococheaguo, and put them to route. This act reached the authorities in Philadelphia, and Governor Hamilton granted him a sort of irregular roving com mission to hold in check tho unfriendly Indians of the frontier. With this author ity he routed the savages from the Cove and several other quarters, and the general fear ho inspired among them no doubt pre vented much mischief. Early in Juno Captain Jack offered the services of himself and his band to accom pany General Braddock on his ill-fated ex pedition against Fort Duquesne. Colonel Crogan urged their merits, saying. .They aro well armed, and aro equally regardless of heat or cold. They require no shelter for the night and ask no pay.' Unfortu nately for the expedition the oiler was de clined, probably for the very reason it should have been accepted—because they would fight Indian fashion and not bo murdered in 'regular' ranks, civilized form. Of the final end of Captain Jack, (says Mr. Jones,) the have nothing definite.-- 0;e account says ho went to the West; an other that he died an old man in 1772, having lived the life of a hermit after the end of the war of 1763. It is said that his bones rest near the spring, at the base of the mountain bearing his name ; and l this we believe. The early settlers of the neighborhood believed that Captain Jack came down from the mountain every night at twelve o'clock to slake his thirst at his favorite spring; and half a century ago we might readily have produced the affidavits of twenty respectable men who had seen the Black Hunter in the spirit roaming over the land that was his in the flesh ! A Character. "Old Bumblebee" (says an exchange paper) was the cognomen of Mr. T., of Newburyport. Ho gained the title from the fact of his catching a bumblebee one day as he was shingling his barn, and in attempting to destroy the insect with his hatchet, cut off the ends of his thumb and forefinger, letting the insect go unharmed. Other mishaps happened to the same old codger in the same barn. In one of his ab stractions he shingled over his hatchet ; and cutting a small aperture in the build ing to let a litle daylight in, this man ac orally eat in a wooden pane as being econo mical and not likely to be broken ! Uncle 'P., in ono of his oblivious freaks, nailed his left arm so firmly betwixt two boards of a fence ho was putting up, that he had to call help to get extricated from his self imprisonment. Ho once put a button on a gate instead of the post. But tho rarest freak of all was when he ran through the streets with his hands, about three foot as sunder, held before him, begging tho pas sers-by not to disturb him, as he had got the measure of a doorway with him. Webster in Death. Webster's forehead, renowned for its massive breadth and fullness, presented a much smaller apppcarance as he lay in his coffin in the library at Marshfield. An ordinary sized hand could easily have cov ered the whole of it. Perhaps this was owing to the removal of the brain. Before the open coffin was carried out upon the lawn, numbers placed their hands upon that familiar brow, as they took their last look. The lips were slightly parted, the teeth, so long of extreme whiteness, were just perceptible. A strong resemblance remained between the face of the dead and tho portrait of the living Webster which hung upon the wall, whore also looked down upon the corpse the picture of his beloved son Edward, who died in Mexico, and of Lord Ashburton, his friend distin guished for his part in the settlement of the north-eastern boundary question. The body, it will be remembered, was clad in the citizen's dross he best liked—blue coat and bright buttons, white neckcloth, black pantaloons and white silk gloves. There was no expression of pain or melancholy upon the swarthy face, but rather a look of satisfaction. When the coffin was carried do Pin the step leading into the tomb, one of the silver handles was accidentally pres sed against the granite portal and lifted up. In the next moment it was disengaged and fell with a knock against the side of the cof fin, which instantly disappeared in the vault. To the writer, who alone noticed the circumstance, trivial in itself, it seemed like the knock of Death, announcing that the great Irian was sbut forever from this warld. l'he day was bright in the morn ing, but clouded up just as the funeral commenced, and closed in rain.—Boston Post. y;A'X~~Yt~IZ. SUMNER ON DOUGLAS. We take the following passage from Mr. Sumner's great speech, in allusion to Senator Douglas. In the same speech he portrayed the character of Mr Butler so truthfully as to provoke the attack of Mr. Brooks, which has been reported : As the Senator from South Carolina is the Don Quixote, the Senator from Illi nois (Mr. Douglas) is the squire of Sla very, its very Sancho Panza, ready to do all its humiliating offices. This Senator in his labored address, vindicating his la bored report—piling one mass of elaborate error upon another mass—constrained him self, as you will remember to unfamiliar decencies of speech. Of that address I have nothing to say at this moment, though before I sit down I shall show something of its falacics. But Igo back to an earli er occasion, when, true to his impulses he threw into this discussion, ' , for a charm of powerful trouble," personalities tno,t dis creditable to his body. I will not stop to repeal the imputations which he cast up on myself, but I men::on them to remind you of the isweltercAyenom sleeping not' which with other in!:, , tettiontz, lie cast into the cauldron of this debate. Of other things 1 speak. Standing on this floor, the Senator issued his rescript, requiring submission to the usurped power of Kan sas ; and this was accompanied by a mat ter—all his own—such as befits the tyran t ical threat. Very well. Let the Senator try. I tell him now that ho cannot enforce any such submission. The Senator, with the Slave Power at his back, is nit strong enough for this purpose. He is bold. lle shrinks from nothing. Like Damon he may cry, .l'autlacc l'audacc lotdourB l'utulaceP but oven his audacity cannot compass this work. The senator copies the British officer, who with boastful swagger, said that with the hilt of his sword lie would cram the 'stumps' down the throats of the American people, and lie will meat a sim ilar failure. Ile may convulse this coun try with civil feud. Like the ancient :nadman he may s et fire to this vast 'loin. pie of Constitutional Liberty, grander than the Ephesian dome ; but he cannot en force obedience to that tyranical usurpa tion. The Senator dreams that ho can subdue the North. He disclaims the open threat but his conduct still implies it. How lit tle that Senator knows himself, or the strength of the cause which hu persecutes! He is but a mortal man I against , him is an immortal principle. With finite row er ho wrestles with the infinite, and he must fail. Against hint a stronger battal ion than any marshaled by mortal arm— the inborn, ineradicable. inflexible senti ments of the human heart ; against him is nature in all her subtle forces ; against him is God. Let him try to subdue these. FREE PRESS, FREE SPEECll.—'Those words used to be synenomous with our re publican institutions, but times arc sadly altered now. In Kansns, any newspaper which writes against slavery extension, is mobbed and destroyed, and in Califor nia, the people of Sacramento will not per mit a public discussion on the principles of the Republican party. Thus the policy of Louis Napoleon, in suppressing free speech and a free press seems to have become na turalized in our country, with other foreign influences which aro to be deplored. elf Lieutenant Governor Koerner, the Illinois Democrat who recently bolted the Democratic nomination, arrived in Chi cago last week and was honored by the Germansiand others with a torch-light pro cession and serenade, in which the ger min singing clubs participated. Lieut. Governor Koerner made u speech ender sitict the Republican State ticket. The gscatest enthusiasts, prevailed. [Rom the.dlbany Evcning Journal.] The Kansas Record. Availing themselves of the fact that the alleged death of Dr. Root, (ion. Pome roy, and Mr. Mitchell, the shooting of Jones, and the killing of "eight pro sla very men," now prove to have been un founded, tho doughfaces boldly character ize all statements of outrages in Kansas as "Republican lies." That there line been falsehood as well as truth sent over the telegraphic lines by the Missourians who have charge of them is unquestionable. But these false state ments do not invalidate or diminish the re al catalogue of crime. To enable our rea ders to keep the latter in memory, we sub join below a list of a few occurrences which are not even attempted to be denied.— There are five times as many similar ones reported, and tolerably well authorized.— But we wait until they shall be :officially and legally confirmed before adding them to our list.

The accession of the Stockton delegates from the Northern Amerman Convention is thus spoken of by the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer : In the American National convention, at the Appollo Rooms, yesterday, the cur tain fell on a potty farce, that was design ed by its authors for a startling tragedy. A half, score of Fillmore Know Nothings who obtained seats in the Convention by means familiarly partizan tactics of the day, for the purpose of preventing any action that might harmonize with tic Convention which assembled nt Philadel phia last week, fled the field. When they became convinced that their schemes were utterly impracticable. Cite exhibition they made of themselves excited no other feeling than contempt." The bogus character of this secession is shown by the committees appointed, on which there wore persons from Georgia, Tennessee and other Southern States, pas sing themselves off as delegates from Ohio Indiana, lowa. etc. Commodore;Stookton's friends seern nevertheless to be disposed to turn the matter to account. The Tren ton (N. J.) State Gazette suggests that as ono convention has nominated Stockton for I'resident, union and harmony may now be effected by the Republican Con vention adopting these two names to con• stituto its ticket. A MANLY SENTIMENT. Mr. Orton of the Sandusky Democratic Mirror, utters the following manly senti ment. The tone is so diflbrent from that of the democratic press, generally, that we give it a place in our columns, as evidence of progress among even the democracy : "The ruffian Brooks has challenged Sen ator Wilson to fight n duel. Senator Wil son very properly declines to meet the loafer, but sent word that he was prepared to defend himself against assailants. It is said that Wilson is an ugly customer in a fight. if so, Brooks will let hiss slow, as soon no hO hears of it for there never was an assassin who possessed true courage. LATER. Brooks has sent word to Wilson that he shan't attack him ! and ho can safely dis arm himself. Of course he won't ! Southern bullies never attack resolute northern men who are prepared to meet force by force on terms of equality. If Mr. W. is wise he will continue to carry arms about him.-- We have always denounced the practice, but deem a man unsafe in Washington at Ipresent unless "armed to the teeth." o f Support liWublicnn principles, VOL. XXI. NO. 26 Ballot-Boxes or Bayonets It h not easy to gut at the exact truth respecting the condition of Kansas. But from the reams of correspondence now co ming from that quarter, the great outlines of the case are sufficiently apparent. Tt is certain that a numerous body of artned-des perailoes, acting under the concurrence, if not the direct orders, of the administration, are roving about the territory, killing those who oppose them, despoiling all who are only supposed to be in favor of freedom, and even insulting their wives and daugh. tors. The orderly and peaceful settler is not safe in his own cabin. The chief town of the hone-fide residents has been pillag.•d. The largest building in the territory has been burned, because limas owned by a frcc.soilcr. A gentleman of aistinction, Gov. Robinson, is confined on a charge High Treason I for defending his home against ruffians. These are facts. What are the People going to do about them Will they meet them next November with the ballot box, or wait till nothing but bay. oncts will answer? If Kansas shall be subjugated, does any one suppose that a subjugating: process will stop there? Tests for the Times. The following texts from the Proverb of Solomon are very suital , le to the pre. cot times : 'lie that is slow to wrath is of great :in derstanding ; but he that is hasty of Spir it exaltedi folly.' 'A fools lips enter into contention, as , his month calleth for strokes.'
