MEYLKRT. [CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.] In following up the account given by Le Forto of the efforts of the Frenoh to get into the good graces of the Shawaneae which proved successful in not only making them their allies in the Allegheney country but also in getting a colony of them located farther north, evidently to aid them in keeping open a connec tion from Canada to the Allegheny river and having by this means gained a foot hold they next took measures to regain the exclusive trade of country. The Delawares who also had colonios on the head waters of the Ohio were driven by force of the French to stop trading with the English and following this came the arrest of English traders who were taken to Canada as pris~ oners, and although a treaty was entered into between England and France in 1748, yet there was no settlement of the boundaries of Pennsylvania and nothing perminent established. The Susquehanna country was at the time largely controlled by three Indian chiefs, Teedyuscung king ol the Delawares, and Paxinos a dis tinguished chiefton of the Shawanese *nd Shekalamy the Vice Roy of the Iroquos, stationed at Shemoken, now Subury. Teedyuscung whose head quarters was at Wyoming wag born near Trenton in 1705 and when first mentioned was holding the position of chief of a colony of his nation that had reluctantly boen made by the Iroquois to leave the lands near the Delaware and goto the Susque hanna. He was a man of great force in the councils of his nation and up on the death of Tadame was elected king, lie is discribed as a lusty raw boned man inclined to be haugh ty in his manner and desirous of re spect, his great failing being that oi fondness for rum. lie became the recognized leader of all the Indians upon the upper Susquehanna, con sequently very obnoxious to the Iroquois. In his independant and determined spirit he refused to sub mit to their dictation. Having been brought up in close contact with the Rnglish and by native force had be come a dreaded power in preventing the extension of their settlements. Prior to his day there had been several treaties by the terms of which the Indians claimed they had been deceived and the old contention vras taken up by Teedyusing and although the hoiuc at Wyoming that they had been forced to accept proved one of great advantage in consolidating the nation as it brought them near the other tribes >f the Delawares that had previously settled on both sides of the Alle gheny's and nearer their hunting ground on the Juniata. It in no way removed the feeling of resent ment towards the English or their allies—the Iroquo^ Of Paxinos we have been unable to learn but little and that to the etfect. that he was the embodyment of treachery and deceit character istic of the Shawanese nation. The name of Shekalamy is first found in 17*27 as the representative of the Iroquois at Shamoken, his name oc« curring iii all important treaties from that time until his death in 1747 after which the provincial govern*- ment out of regard for the efficient rendered during the twenty years of his administration obtained the appointment of his son as his suc cessor who seems to have fdled the place very acceptably for a few years but on the renewal of the French vnd English war and the Iroquois nation being divided he according to his own statement was half persuad ed and half driven by parties of In dians coming to the Susquehanna from the Ohio, to leave his post which was subsequently taken possession of by the provincial government and at the site of which was erected Fort Agusta. The news of the defeat of Brad dock in July like wild fire among the Indians nil along the upper Susquehanna and the Dela ware Indians were very soon enlisted in the service of the French. The Wolf tribe from the immediate vicin ity of our county, removed their families to the Lake country where the}' could obtain supplies from the French. Teedyusing was stationed at Tioga where expeditions were planned by him for the distruction of the defenceless border settlements. He had been made to believe by the French that they would soon be able to restore to him the lands of his ancestory on the Delaware river and lie had become fully convinced that this was the opportunity for his nation to become freed from the yoke of the Iroquois as well as the encroachment of the English. While the provincial government wa* condoling over their losses iu connection with Braddocks army the news of the spread of hostile In diana all along their border settle ments broke up like a thunderbolt. The unprotected homes of the set> tiers of Northampton and Lancaster counties were the first to be destroy ed, their homes were burned, grain destroyed and families either killed or carried away captives. Added to this came the report that 1500 French soldiers with Indian allies gathered from every direction were coming from the Ohio upon them. Penn sylvania of all the colonies was the most defenceless it having been the uniform policy of the Quakers who in the ascendency in the collonial council to confine the government appropriations to the carrying on of peaceful measures. The action how ever of the Surrounding colonies and the very active measures taken by the citizens of Philadelphia. Benjamin Franklin being their leader, resulted in moving them to activity. The first blow struck up on the Susquehanna was near Sha niokin about the 20th of October where 14 white persons were killed. From that date for about three months, murder and outrages were almost constant. The only white persons who traveled the Susquehan na country with any degree of safety were the Moravean missionaries and they were recalled from their labors by their bretheren at Bethlehem be fore the close of the 1755.
