PITTSBURG, [PENN.] JUNE 11.
'T'° the account published in our last,
of the fkirraifh between the party
under the command of Lieut. Bufork
,and the Indians, we are enabled to add
that a party of men went to the place a
day after the Battle, and got 21 wallets
full of plunder, a rifle gun, and some
other articles, which had been left by
the Indians, and which was fold for
Fifty Three Pounds.
' In Germany, an excellent and cheap
die has been invented by Mr. Vogler,
adapted to woollen and cotton manufac
tures. It conlifts limply of the feeds .of
the red trefoil, a plant very common in
this country, and used to feed horfesaad
Cattle. A decoction of their feeds is
mixed with different mineral fubdances,
and the dies produced arc very beauti
ful, and cf great variety. Among thefc
are yellows & greens of different Shades,
as also citron and orange colours. These
dies refill the action of the fubdances
with which trial are usually ma™, bet
ter than the common dies, and promote
many ad antages, if adopted to the ma
nafaaurcs of this country.

A gentleman arrived in town a few
days ago from Kentucky, informs, that
the inhabitants there are in high spirits
with the active exertions which the Ge
neral Government is making to quiet
their troublesome neighbours. A large
party of volunteers were there embodied
and had proceeded into the Indian
country upon an expedition which was
to lad 30 days. A corps of equal strength
was to be ready on their return to pro
ceed against the Indians, and it was in
tended that a refpebtable military force
should continually keep the field, until
the Federal Troops were prepared to
aft.
„The President of the. United States
arrived at Augusta, in Georgia, the ißth
of May —where he^uas received with
^very possible demonftration^of pleasure
and refpe&. Onfheaift, he crossed the

Vernon, at which place-he ts arrived,
and may be expeded at the Seat of Go

The Pittfburg paper of June 4, fays
—" We hear from the town of Wash
ington, that a man arrived there on
Monday last, and brought the foil wing
intelligence, viz. That some foes who
were out from a Ration on Short Creek,
had come in and informed that they had
discovered fome^ndians— immediately a
party of 27 men, under the command of
Lieut. Buftirk, crossed the river, and
foan came upon the trail, and Lieut<
Bufkirk, with three of his men, being a

Captain Rodgers, of taa brig JUT°,
arrived in this river from Antigua, after
little advanced before the rest, were fired
on, by which Lieut. Bu(kirk|was killed,
and toe three men wounded. Tne In
dians immediately run, and were fired
on by the rest of the men, woo purfaed
them about two miles, ft is supposed
fame of the Indians were wounded, as
blood was difeovered where they were
fired upon. This party confided of 14,
and this affair happened on Sunday af

" The fashionable toy for full grown
fools, marks a degree of fablimity in the
ridiculous, hitherto unattempted in the
annals of ,v,,%, and narks degration
in,our youthful character — heretofore dif
tinguilhed by the fpi-it and gallantry of
aspiring manhood. Vhceffeminate shoe
string—th? pie-talk flocking,—the fondle
thigh,the Scaramouth breeches—•theguf
lefs belly—the fa-inch waikcoat --the
jeanty coat —the era uat —-the cofmecical
countenance —the high crowded, double
byt'omed bonnet ——the clonterly, c'reafe
freight locks and the knotty bludgeon
—have long marked preparations folly,
the rifog chanter of the rifiag genera
tion. But this fashionable Spinning Jenny
is now the rage, and finally crowns folly.
“ Fhe toy (hops of Grafton -flreet, the
last ten days, vie with James Fair,
in the resort of fools.— Two penny trum-
pets, gingerbread kings,cornereak ^biftles,
or fix-penny drums, were never more ia

than Banaires with the fall grown fop

" Beardless Senators, who presume to
rife in reply to the arguments of a Pon-,
fenby, scruple not to dandle through the
streets in broad day with their Bedinaires
in their hands.
" During the fascinating oration of
Mr. Grattan, in tbe debate of Saturday
night, the Sup e^a,of the Law am fed
itfelf with a Bad^aire. The mania has
caught all raqka, like the cruelty of w.r,
regardless of age or condition—from the
college Tripling to the veteran senator
+— from the tea-table milk fop, to the foge
tarrifer. And whence this odious and
depraving folly ? The facetious Prince
Os Wales is reported to be the author of
Badinaires ; and, .in just satire on the
puerility of a talTlel.s and effeminate
race, -he has condemned the whole set
of puppies to the fportof /cb@ol boys, and
the divertion of whirligigs=-in order if
possible te ridicule them into manheod.

The. following fatiricic paragraph, taken
from alate Dublin, paper, if anything
could prevent the adoption of fuch.ridi
culous modes, we should imagine fudici
eat co chec< .the folly of utiag a whirling
cane.,
The foregoing is all the account of
Indian depredations brought by the
mail from . Pirfburgh this week —we
doubt not that many recent accounts,
like those mentioned .in the article from
the Hartford paper, will turn out to be
either premature or greatly exaggerated.
A very formidable force is now on the
marca to protest the frontiers,and bring
the Savages to reason, or punishment.
The present war in India will proba
bly be fcruiniaad—.this is said in 2
late London Paper—but threats, of va
rious complexions, for several years pad,
which appear to strike at the Miniver,
have served only to fix him more Wrong
ly as Premier.
Is it an argument in favor or against
2 publication that the author Should
be prosecuted?
Something has been said about a pro^
fecotion of the author cf the pamphlet
entitled " Rights of Man." Should
that take place, if the principles of the
author are right and just — -except all
sense of freedom is extind in the English
nation—a jury will never be found who
will convict the writer ; and if the prin
ciples (hould receive fuc 1 a fantlion, it
will not be long before the people of
England would adopt the language of
Mr. Paine, and fay, that "German
Electors make German Kings''— and
then in the words of scripture, " To
your tents, O Israel.".
The idle of 4 prosecution, ffiould one.
take place, would be an index to the
public opinion of that pamphlet in En
gland. —-

door, whereupon he fell dead at her feet.
Abidance was immediately procured,
bit invain —the severity of the thock he
Had received, when he took the leap into
eternity, proved mortal. It was, howe
ver, alledged that the force of liquor
had a great ihare in this man's death, he
being much addifled to tippling auT
gambling—although he had 2 fa nily to
maintain.
Tne untimely end of this unfortunate
man thould be a warning to deter others
from the idle practices to which he was

Ordained, at Portsmouth, on the 29th

New-Holdernefi.
" Last Monday evening a very for
rowful event took place here. .As Wil
liam Baker, jan'r, son of deacon Willi
am Baker, of this, town, was bathing
himfelf in the river near his father's
hedfe, he was unfortunately drowned,
Two other young men, who were with
him, very narrowly escaped. His body
was soon after taken up, and every mean,
thought.of,ufed for his recovery, but to
nopurpofe. He has left a disconsolate
widow, and deeply affeded parents, and
cooneaiohs. Benevolent hearts will drop
a tympathetick tear with his mourning
friends, when they are informed, that
he was the only Surviving of his aged
parents ;—that he was the 9th son, and
Lith, child which they have buried;—and
that he was married into a reffeciful fa
mily but 14 days before^ the relentless
king of terrors dissolved the connection.
He was decently interred this day° On
which oce fion a difeourfe was delivered
from Matti xxiv/gy. 40. to a numer
ousand solemn assembly. , ,
"So sudden a transition from a blooming
youth,in full vigor of health,to a hreath
lefs corps—from the bridal chamber, to
the habitation of the dead—it is hoped
will be duly noticed. For the voice of
providence in this, concurs with the
voice of inspiration," Therefore, be ye
aljo ready ; for in such an hour asye think
not, the Son of may cometh."
