SHIP CANAL TO LAKE SUPERIOR,
AROUND THE FALLS OF THE ST. MARY.
The feasibility Of such an enterprise is
said to be fully ascertained, the accom-
plishment of which would open a wide
and valuable field Of commercial enter
prise and profit to our Lake cities and
capitalists. The mineral wealth Of that
region is undoubtedly immense; and the
Fur Trade, now monopoIized by the Hud-
son Bay and North West Fur Companies,
offers great inducements in favor of such
an mprovement-N. Y. Express.

FRANCES SLOCUM.
Or, The Kmdian Captive.

In the year l777 and '7S it will be
remembered, the Delaware Indians along
the banks Of the Susquehanna in the
State of Pennsylvania, were very annovng
10 the white inhabitants, and that frequent
massacres and tortures were the results of
their hostile movements; but the length of
time, which has elasped, since those numer-
Gus depredations were committed, has,
measurably, erased the horrors of such
scenes of carnage from the memories of the
present inhabitants of the beautiful Village
of WMKEs-BARRE.
In the year l777, there resided within
the present limits of that town, a respecta-
BILE gentleman, whose names was JoNA-
THAN SLoCUM. His family consisted of
his wife, seven sons and two daughters, of
which Frances was the youngest sister,
In the autumn of that year, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Slocum were from home, and the
children with others) engaged at play
about the door-yard, party of hostile Del
aWares approached the house, and after
killing one boy, bore off another with Fran
ces, as prisoners.
We shall not pause, here, to attempt
TO picture the dsmay of her brothers and
blSteTs lWHO Hdu SGCIGlcu themselves
upon seeing their beloved sister. thus torn
from their society by the ruthless hands OF
savage barbarians; nor shall we attempt a
description of the horrible feelings of ten
der father and anectiOnate mother, on their
return. What agonizing groans and sor-
rowlul palpitatious Of the heart, were theirs
may be imagined, but not described with
the pen. Frances was gone! but to wha
part of the habtablo world to them was Z
mystery, and for aught they knew, she had
soon after her captivity, fallen victim tC
the tomahawk and calping-knife.
Diigent search was instantly made
through the immediate nelghborhood
where the circumstance transpired; bu
without success. Day after day passed
by, without bringing to the ears of dis
consolate father and mother the least Ii
dings oftheir dear-long-l though no
forgotten Frances. Hope that last hes
solace of human sorrow, at length laie'
them; and the hearts Of the parents became
as it were, gladdenend with the conscious
ness that their darling child had ceased t.
exist, and that the Spirit of their France
had sped to an endless immortality.
About two or three months after I'M
heart-rending catastrophe had occurred, tn
father and grandfather Of the unIorluna'
Frances, were killed in an engagemeI

From the Wyoming Republican

From the wyoming republican.
The steps which have led to the CON
summation detailed in the article below,
we carefully noted in the Republican"
as they transpircd: The first was the acci-
dental discovery, and subsequent pubica-
ton in Lancaster paper, of a letter writ
ten more than two years ago by gentleman
of Logansport, Indiana, (Col. G.. w.
Ewing The paper containing the letter
soon found its way to those interested here;
and the result was an immediate commune
cation with Col. Ewing by member of Mr..
Slocum's family. The correspondence, a
portion of which we published, was OF
such nature as to induce Mr.. Slocum
TO set off Immediately for Indiana, to salts
fly himself by personal examination. But
it seems his brother in Ohio had received
the same Intelligence, aud preceded him in
his visit. The result Of the interview is
the subjoined statement, which we extract
from the "Peru Forester" an Indiana pa.
per, kindly forwarded to us by some un-
known hand. What a theme would the
suherngs and trials of the captive during
her long hours of chceress bondage
the extent Of country she has traversed
the scenes and changes through which
she has passed-her feelings and sentiments
afford for . narrative!
