Kentucky. AT length they attacked
and routed the surveyors who were
engaged in selecting and locating lands
some of whom were killed, and others
forced to return to Virginia, and at the
same time a general war ensued along
the frontiers upon the head waters Of
the Ohio and Kenawha. To put a de-
cisive check TO the aggressions of the
Indians in that quarter, an army was
raised in Virginia Of upwards Of three
thousand men, one division Of which,
amounting to about one thousand five
hundred, under the command OF Col.
Andrew Lewis, was despatched to the
mouth Of the Kenawha, while the other,
under the command of governor Dun
more, directed its course 10 a higher
point on the Ohio. The division under
Col. Lewis, on arriving at the mouth
of the Kenawha, was attacked in the
point formed by its junction with the
Ohio, by an equal body Of Indians, con
sisting Of Shawnese, Delawares, Min.
Cos, and Tawas. The battle. commenc-
ed at sunrise, on the 10th Of October,
1774, and lasted until sunset, when the
whites were left in possession Of the
field by the retreat Of the enemy, hav-
ing had ifty.three men killed,an about
ninety wounded. On the evening after
the fight, an express arrived from the
governor, who was ignorant.o of the bat
lie which had occurred, with orders to
Col. Lewis division to join that under
the command Of the governor, in the
neighborhood Of the Shawnese towns.
Col. Lewis accordingly crossed the O.
hio, and was proceeding according to
his orders, when he was met by anoth.
err express, with the information that a
treaty had been concluded with the In.
dians, who had forever ceded all their
lands south Of the Ohio river TO the
whites. 1t was at that treaty that gov
ernor Dunmore received the celebrated
speech from Logan, the chief of the
Mingoes, justifying the part he had ia
ken IN the war, on account of the IN.
provoked murder Of his family by Col.
Cresap, which he had determined to
revenge.

HISTORY OF OHIO.

-1ub 92ifIas n CHAPTER 1. ,GslHtt .sa Ii
odMore than a century had elapsed
after Columbus had discovered thu
western continent, before any perma
nent settlement was made in Nortt
America. The first was the Colony o.
Virginia, in 1907, by the English; and
ia the next year the French planted
their first colony in Canada. The Eng
lish settlements were confined, for
some time,to the vicinity of the coast;
while the French gradually extended
sheirs up the St. Lawrence, and up on
the lakes.
dIt,is not known that any white man
over explored what is now called the
western country, until the year 1878,
when a French missionary, named
Marquette, went from Mackinaw, at
which place his countrymen had estab-
lished a post, two years before, by the
way Of the Wisconsin river, to the Mis-.
sIssIppi. After having descended to the
mouth Of the Arkansas, and being sat-
is6ed, from its course, that the Missis.
sippi discharged itselfinto the gulf Of
Mexico, he thought il imprudent to pro-
coed further, and returned to the
mouth Of the Illinois, which he ascen.
ded, and passed over to lake Michigan.
After his return he resided among the
Indians, until his death, in 1875, and
his discoveries were lost sight Of, until,
in, 1880, La Sale, who commanded a
fort where Kingston now stands,at the
foot Of Lake Ontario, built ayessel on
Lake Erie, which he named the Griffin,
and having sailed through the lakes,
d~isembarked some where near Chicago.
Having sent back the vessel, which was
never heard of afterwards, he crossed
ovsf' 70 the Mississippi. by the way Of
die Illinois river, and descended to the
gulf Of Mexico, and from thence took
passage to France. Sometime after
wards,hs rreturned to the Mississippi,
and ia crossing over to the lakes by
land, he was murdered by one of his
party, some where IN Illinois. An &C..
cespt Of the expedition was afterwards
published byeFasher Hennepin, . mis-,
si0hsrs, who accompanied La SalIstin

Cry OF Mexico, Oct. 8, l847.
An earthquake! we have had an earth
quake! Between the hours off and
yesterday morning, and when all mat.
ters where hushed in a stiffness most
profound, suddenly the earth began to
rock with a strange and most fearful
motion. | am living at the house OF
Pena y Pena, the headquarters Of Gen.
Worth, Immediately in front of the
beautiful alameda; and the first intima-
ton we had Of the dread convulsion
was the VIOLENT slaming Of the doors,
accompanied by a furious jangling Of
the glass chandelier hanging and swing
ing from the ceiling Of the room.--
Soon our beds commenced rocking
something after the manner Of a ship
becalmed at the close Of a storm, and
then came the shrieks of innumerable
women and children, driven half dress
ed, affrighted into the streets-the dread.
ed temblor, as the Mexicans call it, was
upon US. Most strange and impressive
was the scene disclosed from the front
windows, as Keeling and staggering we
approached and opened them-to walk
steady was impossible, so violent were
the ~upheaving and oscillations Of the
mighty EARTH The tops Of the large
trees in the alameda were swaying, the
water IN the reservoirs was billowing
to and fro, the walls around US were
cracking and gaping asunder, the wide
street in front was crowded with wo-
man and children as we'll as men,
screaming and praying, and crossing
themselves in the extremity OF their
fright, while our own soldiers were
Keeling iu~nsteadily in their midst, aston.
ished and awe-stricken at the strange
commotion. agss,5i segnn sello aaI
