PIONEER INCIDENT.

Among the early pioneers, it was no
unfrequent case, that children carried off
by Indians, and raised to savage life,
were afterwards met as enemies by their
old associates in some cases, near rela-
tives. One remarkable case Of this Kind
was that of young Ward, Of Kentucky.
Another occurred in a family 4 med
White, in Wythe county. western Va,
and is thus narrated to me
John White lived on Walkers Creek,
one of the tributaries of the Great Ka-
nawhH, Wythe county, and went out
with George Rogers Clarke on one Of his
expeditions against the Shawnees. The
Gen. being in want Of intelligence as to
the future plan of the enemy, and desi,
rous Of obtaining information. sent out
White, by himself, to bring him an In
dian. White went out and after two
days unsuccessful hunt, returned with
out one.
The General still being determined to
have an Indian. sent White out the Sc
cOnd time. saying, Take companions
if you will White being renarka6te 'or
size, strength. agility, courage and pru-
with the determination Of having an lndi
an, if he went to Canada for him.
After days travelling, they struck a
faint trail, which, by the middle Of the
third day, took them to an Indian village.
" bite cautiously crept mp to reconnOiter.
discovered Il large muscular Indian sit
ting on a lng with his back towards the
whites. and facing the cncampment en-
gagged in mendinY n moccaSn. The In
dian was partially concealed by tree,
under which he was sitting, frOmsthe
view Of the villagers.
White at once { though fully aware Of
to carry that Indian before Clarke, and
leaving his companions, not thinking it
prudent for the three TO proceed, for fear
Of discovery, he crept softly up behind
the Indian, who sat perfectly unconscious
of danger, Till he felt the grasp of White
on his throat and saw Il pistol presented
at his head. White, in hurried words, in
The language Of his tribe, told him that if
he made no noise or resistance, he would
promise he should return to his tribe.
The Indian made no resistance. and
White carried him in triumph to Clarke,
who, Immediately on seeing him, said
This is no Indian"
Inquiry being made of the Pioneer
who and when e he was, he said
was born Of white parents, and when
[ was a small boy, the Indians attacked
the settlement. and killed all the family,
save my oldest brother, who escaped du-
ring the onset, and took me prisoner"
He described the place from which he
was taken. During the recital the coun-
tenancc Of the captor appeared very
much agitated; he asked him several
questions AS SO his early remembrances,
and finally cried out

All circumstances went out to confirm
the truth of this assertion, even to the
similarity Of persons. The exile was re-
stored to society. and for many years sat
in the Legislature of Kentucky, but still
so (anrctnned his old habits and prcde ,
Lotions, as to spend months his time in
the woods.

The Senatorial Election.

Never in the history Of our Union
have We read of a n attempt OF so bold
and outrageous q character TO tn W ar. the
will Of the people as tina. recently made
by the Locofocos in the Iowa Legislature
to prevent the election Of an u. S. Sen.
ator. ..~s a. ..... g..
AZ long az they could stave it of, and
keep the majority from electing, by ere.
asinR discussions among them, they were
willing 10 60 into convention; but as soon
a. II was ascertained that the majority
would unite and elect. force, If nothing
else would do, would be resorted to by
the subservient tools OF Dodge, Jones,
Hem a. Go. to prevent it. g.
The "spoilers were spoiled" howev.
er, and the Locofoco leaders Of Iowa,
their tools in the Legislature, and Mil.
ton J. Browning, their associate conspi
ra,or and drill Sergeant, have been con-
signed to the tomb of the Capulets.--
Sic transit gloria Locofocoism, and its
convert, MI Browning!
We see by late proceedings that the
Locofooo members of The House protest
against the action of the Convention and
declare it illegal. Well. le. them pro.
test, in so doing they but make a record
10 their own shame. and the people will
remember them by il. hereafter. We
are glad they have hung out their sign.
As to the validity OF the election Of
Nj. Harlan there ia no doubt. As the
Republican says: "The Constitution of
tho United States says 'The times, pla.
ces and manner Of holding elections for
Senators and Representatives shall be
prescribed in each State by the Legisla.
,urs thereof The time, the place and
the manner in which the Senator and
Judges should be elected, were p~rescri-
bed by the present Legislature, and they
have been elected at the prescribed time,
and in the prescribed place and manner
by q majority Of the votes of all the
members of the Legislature, and when
these requirements have been complied
with, there is nothing that can ihvalidate
the election, and all efforts TO do it will
only expose the folly. desperation and
shallow patedness of those who may at.
temp, it,"
