This was then one of tho best places on the rircr for the calehing of shad, and the recent accession to the numbers of tl.o Indians, ,ad straightened them for food. It is stated that 5,000 shad haro been taken in one day, by ipp.ng nets, from llurnham a rock, at this point. Secure in their position, boasting of what they had done, and wero still intending to ac complish against tho Kngliah ; making occa sional excursions against the whites for tho purpose of driving oft" their cattle, and well knowing the weakness of the settlements, tho Indiana were scornful, and had no npprchsions of an attack from a foe they expected to de spise.

Thcso statement, wero confirmed by two lads named Gillette and Stcbbini, who had been taken prisoner at Springfield and escaped about this time. About 180 men, alt that could be spared from tho various towns, were gathered from Springfield, Northampton and Hadley, and con centrated at Hatfield. These wero under com mand of Captain Turner who determined to lead the expedition himself, assisted by Capt. Sam uel Holyoke ofSpringficld, and T'nsign Lyman of Northampton, and Sergeants Kellogg and Dickinson of Hadley. hvery thing waa pre pared and the troops assembled at tho place of rendezvous on the 17th or May, ICG. It was no part of their plan to make the attack in broad day. The enemy most bo fought by hi, own tactics and in his own method of warfare, A i.iiil.t attack: was accordingly tlnned and on the evening of the 17th, tho party set out. The Indiana wero SO miles oil, and the night was exceedingly dark.

The heait rending calamity at Illoody llrook we have already chronicled. The blow which may bo considered in all its ciicumstanccs, the particular revenge for that massacre, was struck at Turner's Falls. It was tho severest shock the Indians received during King Philip's war. It waa here that the peculiar tactics of tho sav age foe wero turned upon himself with four fold vengeance. The surprise was complete, the ro venge ample, and the power of Philip humbled. The war had proceeded wilh various suc cesses on both sides. Springfield had been burned ; Hatfield and Northampton attacked : Ihe settlements were watched, erery straggler cut oft an dovery unguarded point assailed.

In about half an hour hogavo up firing, and, as I had put four shots out of seven through his loophole, I thought I must have hit him. I left a namesake of mine in my company to watch him. Very soon the Russian (who, by the by, was a splendid shot) filed again, and put the ball right through pri vate 'a cap, because he did not bob his head when he saw the smoke. They began to fire C8-pounders at us in the lido-pits from the great gun in the Redan, 700 yards from the pit I was in, and, with two men loading rifles for me, I bullied them so much that they were half an bour loading Ihe gun, for I had a very sharp corporal watching tho gunnera with my telescope, and directly they tus, so that if il is once past you before il bursts, all tho pieces will continue to fly forward and you are safe i whereas, aa the mortar shell is pitched os high as it will go into the air, and then drops, the pieces have no other impetus than what the bursting charge gives thorn to fly in every direction fur a radius of upward of 800 yards, and aometime considerably more.

The following extract from s letter address ed by Mrs. Stowe to a friend In this country, in answer to an inquiry fur some particulara of her early life, give an account of tho origin of the world renowned "Uncle Tom's Cabin." After a playful description of her peraoial if. pcarance an account of her marrisgo with Professor Siowe, al tho age of twenty-five her settlement I .a no Seminary near Cincinnati, in Ohio, and tho increase of her family, she says "The most beautiful of these (her children,) and Ihe most beloved, lies buried near my Cin cinnati residence.

On this point she always maintained a delicacy and reserve, which, though it is not stall uncommon among slavo women, appears to mo remarkable- She alwaya called her master her husband, and spoke of him with the aame apparent fuel ing with which any woman regard, her hus band, and it waa not till after sho had lived wilh me some years that 1 discovered accidental ly the real natore of the relation. 1 shall nev er forget how sorry I felt for her, nor my feel ings al her humble apology.

Tho demand fur $10,000 by the United Stales government fur the alleged concealment of property atolcn by partiea from the accessory transit company, waa based upon the following comparatively trilling occurrence : A black mm by the name ef McOrsw had some difficulty with the agent of the company, and demanded and obtained hi, dischargo from their employ. He borrowed a boat from an employee of the company for the purpose of crossing with his family lo GreJIottn- A he put off from the shore he was challenged by sonu one at tbo Point, and fired at. Hd con tinued his course, and was followed by the par, ty who had fired at htm, and who, with ecTeral oilier,, partially intoxicated, pursued him to tho Greytown police station. The eity marshal, hearing the disturbance, came forth from his bed, and after eorae trouble re-established order. The next day L petty employee of the company came to the city, and staled thai Mcuraw had stolen the company's boat. He wa informed that if the company a agent would mako allida tit of the fact before tho mayor, the man would be delivered up. The company's agent declin ed doing this or) the ground that hi. instruction did not allow him to rccognite tho Greytown authorities. With rccard to the insult to Mt Holland, which .hat gentleman baa endeavored to place: upon the ahouldera of the city authorities and Ihe majority of the people, tho Post, after showing that it was the action of an individual only, and that the aolhoriiies and many private citizens exerted themselves to diseover the au thor, publishes a letter recently forwarded to Ihe government by Mr Fabena, and which was addressed by the city attorney of Oreytowa to him, on tho morning of the day succeeding tho outrage, and which, after expressing the deter mination of tho city authorities to punish the offender, solicited from him any information which would facilhato Ihe step, which bad been taken to bring him to justice. The Post asks why wa not this letter published with Ihe oth er official papers relative to the affair, setting foith the grounds taken by the city authorities, which grounds should have been thoroughly investigated before a serious decision was made.
