A few moments, which appeared as hours, brought me to the spot, where I beheld a beetle which as worthy the pencil of a Weat, or the pen of a Scott. Girt) , wee a wan of herculean strength, and possessed a courage truly inJomitable; his opponent, the Indian, who had crossed the ridge, was equally powerful and bold; hero -the% had jieit met as I came up. The Indian stood with his uplifted tomahawk; Girty wih his knife drawn, and they were glaring upon ench other like two hungry panthers. The Indian suddenly threw his tomahawk, but Girty, whose eyes were upon the instrum ent, as suddenly. stooped—it passed over hie head, and sunk deep into a fallen tree, where the slender handle trembled ter some moments, from the violence with which tt was hurled! Much has bean written oldie Roman Athlete°, of their thick necks and muscles, and powerful frames, but few of them, I doubt enuld have • competed with - Girty or the Indian. The savage gave a yell ofdisappointment,nnd drawing his knife sprang upon his antagonist.. I stood with my fingers upon the:trig ger of my gun; but they for a while were so closely locked in each others embrace, that 1 could not fire, for fear of killing Girty. In the scuffle the Indian's knife dropped, and no one hut a man possessedof invincible courage would bayoneted R 9 Girt) , did at that moment ; for he magnanimously threw dawn his own and opposed the red man totally unarmed. and invited him to a bet of what western people term rough end tumble. "Let him alone, and secure those knives, and I'll beat him to death." cried Girty, with perfect sang froid• This request. I immothately attended to. The Indian's blows fell with powerful force upon the breast ufGirty, but 'did little or no injury; while Girty's thumps- were planted full in the Indian's face who soon fell to the earth apps• rently Melees. Girty now took' his knife and proceeded very deliberately to scalp hie foe, when the savage sprung upon his hands and knees, and struggled violently to get up; it was his last struggle, for the keen knife penetrated his heart.

We have just been informed, by 31ajor Sitgreaves, of the following tragic occur rence that took place on Monday , night week last, near Bloomsbury, Warren coun ty, New-Jersey, about Fl miles from Easton: the particulars of which are as follows. About 9 o'clock on the evening alluded to, a negro slave, aged about 20 years, and be longing to Gen. Williamson, went to the house of his eon, Mr. C. Williemsom, who was from home, and having conducted him self improperly, . was ordered from the premises by Mrs. Williamson. - He return ed to his masters residence, where be stayed until about mid night, when he again repaired to the house of the son, and do rnanded admittance. Mrs. W. commanded him not . to attempt to enter, for if he did he sould jeopardize hie life. He disregarded file threat, flirced open the door, and enter ed the room, upon which Mrs. W. took up a loaded tun, which her husband always kept, anproached the negro, who still persis ted in . endeavoring to accomplish his wicked design, and shot him. The load eutereed his breast, he staggered backward a few feet, and fell dead on the floor. The lady is a daughter of Mr. Drake, of Washington, New Jersey.

Grave Considerations.. The Clay men in their arrangement.o the next Preeidencial campaign, give Penn sylvania,,and as we learn, New York also, to the enemy. We presume they are like. wise content to cast off Ohio, Indiana, Ver. mont, Maryland and New Jersey 1 Nay, perhaps they would not be unwilling to give Mr. Van Buren the whole flt) States and elect Mr. Clay without their aid! Be this as it may, there are some coneidera. lions which we humay commend to their notice. W hat, fur example, will be the ef. fect in Pennsylvania if the name and pipe larity of Gen. Harrison be not employed The Old Song. The Clay papers of New York are la boring hard to explain the cause of the Whig defeat in that city, and their reasons are echoed by the Clay presses elsewhere. They ascribe it to fraud, colonizing, and va rious other causes all wide of the mark.

We are informed by gentlemen who were in New York just betiire the late Charter Electi n, that the rout of the Whigs, and triumph of Fanny Wright ngrarinnisiii,was not unexpected by the cool heeds of the Whig party. It is, however, confessed that their worst fears are more than realized. They did hope that an increased vote, as has been hitherto almost uniformly the case, would secure the succuss of the Whig noin inations. This hope was based upon the well known fact that there is always a large body of ,votersin the Whig ranks who neg lect, except on important occasions, to exer citie their right of suffrage, whereas very few of the members of the opposite party ever fai: to employ their franchise. Hence, an increase in the votes in their estimation, would secure a Whig victory. We have said that the result was antici pated, by the cool heada s of the party. It was so, for the reasons we stated on Satur. day, and in consequence of the tyrannical arid proscriptive course pursued by The ultra Clay men toward their airocilOn. whose good geof/ Ma& thaw to VAlVlltit3 • hope of ever succeeding with Mr. Clay. For this offence—the unpardonable crime of considering that gentleman too vulnerable. to Loco Foco assaults to ho the candidate of the Whig party, many of the hest members of the party—men who bed labored for years to secure the predominance of the Whigs, whose fidelity was unquestioned ane unques tionable, were scorned, and excluded from all .posts of trust or responsibility. Other', who preferred Gen. Harrison, or Mr. Web. •ter, or Ge•. Scott, met with the same treatment. Our design in referring to this ',abject, is to caution certain gentlemen of this city to beware how they follow this example of their brethren of New York. They have adopted that example we know, but we can lion them, in a IriendlY spirit, not to con• tinue to follow it. There is a point beyond which human endurance cannot go—beyond which a spirit of non resistance ceases to be a virtue. In plain terms, we mean that all the hon• ors and offices of the party have been per celled out to members of the Clay Club— that a determination has been expressed to exclude any and every one, however compe tent, who has dared, like a freeman,to think for himself, and to avow a preference PT Gen Harrison. If this be Hue, and we have ample reasons for believing it; we cnu lion our liiends to bewnre bow they al. tempt its execution. Upon their beards will rest the responsibility of the counse quence.
