who hail died in llie field of battle, visited
the warrior in his night visions and called
loudly Tor revenge, it was ascertained at
the garrison above the mouth of the Ilnck
hockirg river, that llie Indians were gath
ering in great numbers for the purpose nf
sinking a blow on some post of ilio fron
tiers. To meet lliis crisis, two of the
most skilled and indefjligablo spies were
dispatched lo watch their movements and
report. ( , 'f , ...
M'Cleland and White, two spirits that
never quailed at danger, and as uncon-
querablo as the Lybian lion, in the month
of October, anil-on one of the balmy days
of Indian summer, took leave ol their fel
lows and moved on through the thick plum
and hazel bushes wilh llie noisless tread
nf panthers, armed wilh iheir unerring
and trusty rifles. They continued llu-ir
march, skirling llie prairiea, till they reach
ed that most remarkable prominence, now
known by tho name of Mount I'leasant,
the western termination ol which is a per
pendicular cli IT of rocks of some luin
ilrcds of furl high, and whore summit,
from western view, towers lo the clouds
and overlooks the vast plains below. When
this point wss gained, our hardy spies
had a position from which ihey could see
every movement of the Indians below in
the valley.
. Everv day added a new accession of
warriors lo the company, They witness'
ed their exercises of hnrce racing, running
foot races, jumping, throwing the tnma
hawk and dancing ; the old sachems look
inr on with. Iheir. Indian indifference, the
'squaws engaged in their usual drudgery.
and the children engaged la their playful
gamhola. I he arrival ol a new warrior
was greeled wilh terrible shouts, which
striking the muralfaceo( Mount Pleasant,
were driven back in Ilia various indtnla

not likely to.be ensuarad by their euaning,

nor, without a desperate conflict, .to full
victims to their acalping-ltnives or toma

still stood in the hollows of some of the
rocks j hut, in a short lime, this store was
exhausted. and M'-C'ltdiind aiiij .While must
ahant)on. their . enterprise 01, find a new
supply. , Tu accomplish this most hazard
ous enterprise, MOleland, b"jng the old
est, resolved lo make llie attempt ; eml,
with his trusty rifle in his hand; and. iheir
two canteens strung across hie shoulders,
he descended, by a nircuitnus route, to the
prairie,, skirling the hill on (be north, and
uudiTi cover of ilia haed, Ihjckets,. he
reached Ihe river, ani lurniug In a bold
point of llier hill,, he found a besuliOil
spring within a few feet of ihe rder, now
known by ihe name of. Cold. Spring, on
the frm ot D. Talmadge, Esq. . He tilled
his canteens, and returned in ufety in his
watchful companion. It was now deter
mined to halt) a fresh supply of water
every diy, and this ditty, was performed
alternately. ,..,... , 7 ....
. Oil one of these occasions, after While
had tilled his canteens, he sal a few mo
ments watching the limpid elements as il
came gurgling out of thn bosom of the
earth, when the light sound of footsteps
caught' his practiced ear, and upon turn
ing around he saw two squaws a few fuel
Iriirn him. Upon turning tho foot nf ihe
hill, the eldest squaw gave one of those
far-reaching whoops peculiar lu Indians.
White at once comprehended his perilous
situation. If ihe alarm should reach the
camp or town, he and his companion must
inevitably perish. Self preservation com
pelled him to inflict i noiseless death on
the squaws, and in such a manner as, if
possible, lo leave nrl trace behind. ' F.ter
rnpid ill thought and prompt in action', he
sprang upon his victims,' with the rapidity
and power of A linn, and grilspiiig the
ihrpat of each,' sprang into the river. He
Imist ilie lica'l ol the eldest under the wa
ler. While making strong efforts to sub
merge) tlio voungcr, who, however, power
fully resisted him, and during the short
slrugglo with this young aililelic, to his
astonishment, she addressed him. irl his
own langnrrge, though in almost tflarticu
lale sounds. ;
Releasing his hnlil, ahe informed him
that she had been a prisoner for ten years,
and was takeu from below Wheeling, and
that ihe Indians had killed nil the family,
and thai her brother and herself were ta
ken prisoners, fiul he succeeded on the
second nighl in tnaking his escape. Dir
ring this narrative, White had dmWired the
elder squaw, and had lei her float off with
ihe current, where il would not probably
be found mil soon. Ho now directed Ihe
girl In follow him, nod with hia nsual
speed and energy, pushed Inr (he mount.
Thsy had scarcely gone half-way, when
they heard Ihe alarm cry some quarter of
a mire down the stream. It was supposed
some paTty of Indians, reluming from hunt
ing, struck tlie river just as ilio body ol
Ihe squaw floated past. : White and ihe
girl succeeded in reaching Ihe mount,
where McClt land had been no indifferent
pectntor to the sudden commotion among
the Indians. : ' ' 1
The prairie parties of trirrior", were
seen immediaiely to strike off in every di
rection, and W hue and the girl had scarce
ly arrived, befnro a party of some twenty
warriors had reached the eastern acclivity
of the mount and were cautiously and
carefully keeping tinder cover. Soon llie
spies saw the swarthy foes as they glided
Irom tree m tree and I rum rncK to rocR,
till iheir position was surrounded, except
on Ihe wesl perpendicular side, and all
hope of escape was cut off. In this
perilous condition, nothing was left but In
sell their lives as dearly us possible, and
this Ihey resolved In do, and advised the
girl In escape to the Indians and lell them

Rcmonstrnnces proved fruitless. The
two spiea quickly matured their plan of
defense, and vigorously commenced the
allark from the front, where, from iho
very smnll backbone of the mmini, the
savages had to advance, in single file, ami
without any covert. Beyond this neck
the warriora availed themselves of rocks
and trees in advancing, but in passing from
one lo Ihe other ihey must be exposed lor
a short lime, and a moment exposure of
Iheir swarihv forms wss enough for the
nnerrinir rifles of the spies. The Indians
being entirely ignoranl of how ninny were
in ambuscade, were more cautious how
Ihey advanced. ' ' 1 1 ' ''
' After bravely maintaining (he fight lit
frnnt and keeping th enemy in check,
Ihey discovered a new danger threalenieg
them. 1 The arch foe nnw made evident
preparations id attack them on the flank,
which eniiltl be more successfully done by
reaching an isolated reck lying In one of
ihe ravinee on the southern hill side." I ma
rock rine gained by the Indians', Ihey
could bring the1 spies under point blank
shot ef th rifle without the possibility of

and allhougli he fell that the Indian mual

other flint, he proceeded to Ihe task ..with
the iilirinst Composure. . .
" Casting his eye Wward the fearful point
soddeTtfy. he sur the warrior sirelching
'every muscle for the, leap; and with the
agility of the panther he made the spring,
but instead nf reaching the roch, he gave
a yell, and his dark body fell and rolled
down ihe sleep Iritei the valley below.
He had evidently received a death wound
from some unknown hand. : A hundred
voices re echoed from bvlow ihe terrible
shout. Il was evident that they had lost
a favorite warrior, as well as being disap
pointed for a lime, of the most important
movement. -A very few minnies proved
that Ihe. advantage gained would bs nf
short duration; for already the spies Caught
a glimpse of a tall swarthy warrior cau
tiously advancing hi the covert so recently
occupied by his lellfiw companion." Now,
ton, the attack in front was renewed with
increased fury, o as to. require the inees
sanl fii C of both spies lo prevent the I li
dians from gaining the eminence, and in a
short lime M'Cleland saw a warrior ma
king preparations 10 leap to Iho fatal rock.
The reap was made, and. ihe Indian turn
ing a somerset, his corpse rolled down the
hill Inwards his former companion. Again
an unknown agenlhad interposed id Iheir
behalf. This second 8acrifire"cast dismay
into the ranks of their sssaiUnis, and just
as tin sun was disappearing, behind ,lhe.
western hills, the loo withdrew lo a short
distance, to devise somo new mode of at
tack."' This respite came miist seasonably
lo our spirt, Who had kept their ground,
and braiely maintained the unequal tight
from nearly the middle qf the day. , . ,
Now, for tho firjt lime, was the girl
missing, and the ejes.ilioight that through
terror she had escaped to her former cap
tors, or ihnl she hud been killed during ihe
tight, but they were hot long left to con
jecture. The girl was seen emerging from
behind a rock and coming ID ihein wilh a
rifle in her .hand. During the light she
saw a warrior fill who had advanced
some distance before the rest, snd while
some of them changed their position, she
resolved at once, live or die, to possess
herself of his gan and ammunition ; and
crouching down beneath the underbrush,
she crawled to the plica and succeeded in
her enterprise. Her keen and watchful!
eyo had early noticed ihe fatal rock, and
here was the mysterious hand by which
ihe two warriors fell, the last being the
most intrepid and blood-thirsty of the
Shawnee tribe, anil the leader of the
company which killed her mother and
her sister, and look her tod her brother
prisoners. , ,
Now, in the west,, arose dark clouds,
which soon ovrsnrend ihe whole heavens,
and the elements were rent with pcala of
thunder.' Darkness, derp and gloomy,
shrouded the whole heavens; this dark
ness greatly embarrassed the spies in iheir
contemplated nighl escape, supposing thai
they might readily lose their way, and ac
cidentally fall nn iheir enemy ; but 8 short
consultation decided the plan ; it wns
agreed that the girl should go foremost,
from her intimate knowledge of the locali
ties, and Another might be gained in case
they should tall in with any of the parties
or outposts. -1 mm ner knowledge 01 me
language, she m'ight . deceive ihe sentinels,
as the sequel proved, for scarcoly had
thev descended a hundred yards when a
low whist from ihe girl warned them of
their danger. '
The spies stink silently nn the ground,

of the spies' rifles was heard by the girl,

. The teareer of Curran, the celebraled
Irish orator, furnishes an apt illustration
ol ihe results of energy and perseverance
in overcoming physical and menial defecis.
Curran, did not possess those natural gifts
which are supposed to be necessary lo
success as a debalot.. In .preparing him
self for the position to which hia ambition
had aspired, he was obliged lo grapple
wilh tlilnculties' which would have dis
couraged, any would-be vrator of lew
sanguine tenipermenl. Poverty, one of
the most depressing, evils wilh which
genius has to contend, was by no means
ihe least of these dillicolties. " His
voict," nays one of hia biographers, w was
bad, and his aiiiculalmu haaly and confus
ed; that he' went among his fellows by
llie name of ' stuttering jack Curran.'
Ilia manner was awkward, his jestures
constrained and meaningless and his
whole appearance calculated only to pro
duce laughtesnntwrthstanding the evidence
he gave of superior abilities. ' AH of these
faults he overcame by severe and palienl
labor. Constantly on the walch against
had habit, be irracliced daily before a
glass reciting passages frnm Shakespeare,
Sanius and the best English orators."
He succeeded completely in conquering
his bad habits and innate defects, and hi
the words of one of his friends he
turned his shrill and alnmbling brogue into
flexible, austatned ami finely mndulatet!
voice; bis actions uecame iree aim forci
ble ? he acquired 'perfect readiness in
thinking nn his legs." We need not par
ticularise his corns ol study, mil win
merely ejuote Ihe remark of one nf hia
biographers, that "his oratorical training
was aa severe' aa any Greek ever under-

At the present 'crisis, alt Information,
derived Troiri personal research and' ex
perience, with res'pect to the real co'rtiti
tion of' Turkey, has bedome doubly inler
esfi'ng.: We siihjtiint' therefore, thtf sub
stance of an elaborate calculation of the
number and distribution of the inhabitants
of European" TarVeyi 'which' appears in
the appendix fo " Mount Athos. Thessaly,
and Epiriia, by Mr. G. P.' Bowen, Fellow
oT Brasenose CoUege,' Oxford." Tho
author prefixes lo his tables the following
remarks: u ''"'1 u 1 ; ;
The real amount and distribution of ihe
population in the heterngeneOns provinces
known by the general nnineof Turkey in
Europe, are problems which have never
yet been solved, ;, The European subjects
of the Porte have been .rated as high aa
thirteen or fourteen, millions by Mr.
Urquharf and other writers. ' But this
number umloubiedly far exceeds the truth.
All stalisiicS of ibis nature are more ot
less guess work in ihe East ; for Orien
tals still retain' the ancient -prejudice
against. Any Accurate ' numbering of the
people,' a process which ' is connected in
thoir minds wilh conscriptions, poll-taxes,
and oilier disagreeable associations. I
will, however, subjoin a translation nf a
very able paper on this subject, which
was kindly drawn up for ine by my learn
ed friend, Dr. Ph dales, Greek Professor
in the University of Corfu. He is a na
tive of Epirus himself, and has lung and
deeply studied rhe ethnology of Tukey
in Europe. The diligent inquiries which
I have myself instituted in various well-
informed .quarters at Constantinople and
elsewhere, make me feel pretty certain
thai his calculation is not .far . frnm the
truth. , If il errs at all, the mistake lies
in rather underrating the number of the
Mahoinmedans. Perhaps they approach
more nearly to a third than to a fourth
part of Ihe whole population: ! . . .
