Crawford, was taken prisoner, nbumanely
tortured, and murdered by the Indians-was

himself an able negociator. He either knew
Crawford's character, or he had read II dur
ing the interview. The captain was an ex-
pert woodsman, stout, active, and chivalrous,
and prided himself on his personal prowess,
for which he had already obtained some
celebrity. To have declined the wsgoner's
challenge might have seemed to indicate
want Of manhood-it might have lessened
him in the eyes Of his men-and his own code
Of ethics. perhaps, suggested that the wagon
er was entitled, in justice, to the tdr chance
which he claimed. lie accordingly accepted
the challenge, and both parties began to strip
for the combat.
At this moment, tall young man, who had
recently Joined the company, and stranger
10 most of them who had been carelessly
leaning against tree, eyeing the scene with
apparent unconcern, stepped forward, and
drew Crawford aside. "Captain," said he,
"you must let me fight that man--he will
whip you." Crawford was not willing TO ap'
pear to back out, but the youth insisted that to
have the captain beaten, which would be the
result if he persisted, would tarnish the honor
ofthe company and moreover, that he him
self was tho only man who could whip the
WAGNER. The confidence OF the youth, and
something about him which inspired conf
dcnce in others, enabled him to carry his
point. Captain Crawford having done all that
policy required, in accepting the challenge,
very prudently suffered himsefto be persuad
ed by his men to let the stranger take his
place.
The two combattants were soon stripped
and prepared for the fight. There was
great disparity in their appearance, the odds
being decidedly in favor ofihe WAGNER. He
| ,tl,o IF hin hu
dened by exposure. and experienced in af.
fairs ofthis kind. The youth, who, when clad
in his hunting shirt, seemed slender, now
showed himsefto be a young giant. His
frame had not yet acquired the fulness, the
compac,ness. and the vigor of ripe manhood
which it afterwards possessed to so high
degree-his limbs seemed to be loosely hung
together, but his bones and muscles were
enormous, and his eye full ofcourage.
The conflict, though bloody, was short.
The WAGNER was completely and terribly
beaten. The youth sprang on him with the
ferocity of an enraged tiger, and the battle
was no longer doubtful. the tre.
mendous fist of the youth struck it inflicted a
severe wound. The blood followed every
blow. and the WAGNER, who had been the
victor in many hard fought field, in few
minutes lay mangled an" exhausted at the
feet of his vanguisher, who was but little, it
at all hurt.
That youth was DANIEL MORGAN, who had
now for the first time, taken the field against
the enemies of his country as q private sol
der, who afterwards rose to the rank OF Maj
General, who So often led our armies in bat
tie, and who was perhaps more frequently
engaged with the enemy than any other Of
fcer of the American revolution. lie was as
