INDIAN WARFARE IN KENTUcKY.-The fol-
lowing is of II letter written by Col. James
Perry, of Nelson's county, Ky, to Rev. Jordan
Dodge, OF Sturbridge, Mass, dated April 20, 1885,
1t furnishes vivid idea of the dangers, hardshps and
pels encountered by the early settlers, who sought for
home in the wilds of the West and of the heroisn
which was displayed by the noble and vruous part
ners of their dangers and sufferings:
Son the first of April inst, a number of Indians
surrounded the house of one John Merrill, which
discovered by the barking Of dog. Merrill stepped
to the door what he could discover and receiv-
ed three muske balls, which caused him fall back
into the house with broken leg and an arm; the In
dams rushed TO the door, but it being instantly
fastened by his wife, who stood against it, with girl
about fifteen years Of age the savages could i'm
mediatey enter; the Indians broke one part Of the
door and one ofthem crowded partly through the he
roic mother, in the midst of her screaming children
and groaning husband seized an axe and gave fata
blow to the savage, and ne falling he0dong into the
house, the Others supposing they had obtained their
end, rushed after him, until four Them fell in like
before they discovered their mistake; the
rereated WEIGH gave opportunity again TO the
door. The conquerors rejoiced in their victory, hop
ing they had killed the whole company; but their
pectatons dashed, by finding the door
again attacked.
Their fears came them like q flood they
heard noise the top OF the house, and then found
they were coming down the chimney all hopes Of de-
liverance were at end, but the wounded man
ordered his little child 10 tumble a couch that
filed with hair and feathers on the fire, which made
such smother that two lusty Indians tumbling
down the chimney; the wounded man, exerting every
faculty in this critical moment seized billet Of wood
with which he conquered the smothered Indians; at
the instant the aimed blow at the door,
but not with the same effect the rest, but which
caused him to retreat they then again secured the
door fast possible, and ejoiced at their deliver
ance, but not without fear Of third attack; they
fully watched with their new family until morning,
and were not again disturbed.
We learn by prisoner that made his escape from
tho Indians that the wounded savage last mentioned,
was the only one that escaped at this time; his
turn he was asked. What news, brother'' 'paguy
bad news replied the wounded Indian for the
squaws have left the dshclout, and fight worse than

ADVICE TO sUNDRY PERSONS.

When you feel your passions rising never confine
or repress them. How many boilers have burst by
too close an Imprisonment OF their contents
Always proclaim the faults of others. There
should be in a republican form of govern
mept.
Never give mp your opinions, although you know
you are wrong-it shows you have independence.
When you attack your neighbours character, do it
behind his back so mt to hurt his feelings.
Make it a rule to keep company with rogucs and
rascals, then you should he prosecuted FOR an Of
fence you have committed and your comrades should
be called witnesses against you, nobody will be-
lieve them, and so you will get clear.
When you have done an let of charity, publish it
to others, thai they may do so TO Eesides every
man preach best from his own notes.
Never pay your debts; it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for
payment impairs the obligation of contract, and even
the Legislature has no right to do that.
DIsTINcrIoN SOCIETY. The idea held by
many that the humble mechanic is not good by ma
ture, ms the wealthy monarch, is, we think, a very
erroneous one, and one that is held gby those who
have but very little intellect. They generally to
be found among that class Of people who have never
obtained mouthGul of vituas by the sweat of their
brows, know not how TO appreciate the many
forts which extended by the labors of the indus
trious mechanic There many persons who con
sder the mechanics and working men, the lower
classes OF society, while many ignorant fop, who
is lazy and too proud to work, is esteemed by them
one ofthe higher class. This banecul principle
we fear has been nourished by many from whom we
should have expected better thngs,& whom once
thought would discountenance any invidous disinc-
tons between rich and poor. Mankind very apt
when they rise in the world to forget their once i'm
povershed condition, and to feel that they are Of
better blood than those through whose nstrumenta-
ty their riches have been ob:ained but is msta-
ken notion sprngng from the native principle of self
love.
No distinction should be made between one pro-
If there be distinctions let their real worth he the
ly ground for it. Then we shall see, that worth
makes the man and not wealth as some have er-
ringly supposed, and we fondly hope that the day
may he far distant when this truly republican
timent shall be cherished in the bosom of every
who nhabits the fertile soil of our happy and much
tincons by any other rule, and pay respect to
earthly grandeur, than to intelligence and virtue,
consider enemies, although perhaps ignorantly, to
those equal rights, which purchased by the
blood and suerings of our patriot fathers in times
that tried mems souls-.1fethodiSt Protestant
