Hood, and Major McMahon, crossed the
creek, and inquired the women who were
prisoners, the number of the enemy, and
were informed hundreds; when they imme-
dately turned and made good their retreat.
This band was composed of as brave men
as any country could boast and those who
survived took an active partin the skirmish-
es which followed during the remainder of
the war. Many of their descendants reside
in this neighbourhood, and no doubt inherit
much of the courage and love Of liberty
which distinguished their fathers in the
hour that tried mems souls.
The first night after the surrender Of the
fort the prisoners were confined in an ash
house near Muncy. One of them, a man
named Henry Gilfllan, had attempted to e.
scapc after the surrender, and was on the
second floor of the building when Old Mon
teur came in and pointed his gun at him,
as if about to shoot. He was followed by
Old Catreen, who exclaimed to Gilfillan,
"Ah! you debil, you tschot me-" Frighten-
ed until his knees knocked together, he re-
piled, "No, never shot any body" "You
lie, you debll; got my WRIT cut by you" "
and she waved her tomahawk as if about
to hurl it at his head" I've good mind
to scalp YOU" she continued, after looking
at him until she thought him frightened
sufficiently not to attempt running away a
gain. 1t is said that such was the fright
he received at this time, that for years he
could not divest himself of the idea that the
rustling of the leaves as he passed though
the woods was the noise Of the tread of thC
Indian in pursuit.
On the march one of the Monteur's Sc
creted himself behind large tree, and az
Mr.. Vincent, Sr,-one of the captives-
came opposite, raised his tomahawk anC
gave the Indian yell, and then marched OF
with an inward chucklo, as if pleased will
the alarm he occasioned.
The captives-of which the late Bethue
Vincent was one were taken through th
upper part ofthis state to the Tioga river
thence into the Gennessee country, from
there to Niagara, and from thence to Low
er Canada. The country through whicI
they passed was one vast wilderness, AM
they did not see white mans dwelling al
ter they left Lycoming creek until they arri
we'd at Fort Niagara. A little beef wilhou
salt roasted on the end of stick, was thei
chief article of food. They were treate
as well'as they had reason TO expect, an
; much better than many others in simil;
situations. They remained prisoners

A quaint old author denounces oysters
as being ungodly, uncharitable and unpro-
fitable meat; ungodly, because they are ca
ten wilhoutgrace; uncharitable because they
leave nothing but shell, and Improbable
because they must swim in wine.

and to have them executed by armed bands of
mercenares? What more is requisite to con-
stitutc despotism! We protest We arc una
bic to CONCEIVE Of any additional pretensions
! 1t is needless to enlarge upon this subject. A
people so humble to contemplate these pro-
ceedings without feeling the spirit of their ia
theirs burning in their bosoms must have reached
point Of debasement where the very name of H.
bevty ceases to be an ineligible word. We per-
form our duty in placing the facts before the
try, and solemnly warning the people against
the evils that are to come. These extraordinary
proceedings were not had without the counsel
and 0driscnenf Of the Executive. The simulta-
neous display Of the motto, sthc supremacy of
the ldrs," was not a thing of chance. There is
every reason to believe that there are more than
TEN THOUSAND MEN already organized, armed and
equipped An active correspondence is going on
between this city and various sections Of the
Union. The Usurper himself is encouraging these
military organizations, as his letter shows. The
whole country is distressed. agitated heaving with
the elements of discord, characterization. and an
archy. No man can anticipate the result. But
we remain firmly impressed with the belief
that a subversion Of the Government is in con-
temptation; and that, unless timely steps be ia
ken to arrest the Executive In its progress. the
liberties of the country will be lost. We may be
too suspicious of the character and interests OF
the individuals in power; but we had rather err
from too much jealousy. than allow ourselves to
be taken BY surprise and fettercd while sleeping
