What the old Hollandcr meant by " Mar
cttco on the Iron Hill" we have been I'M
al,l,. to ascertain. 1t WAS probably an In
dian name applied to some part of the coun-
try between Iron Hill and Grcy's Hill, now
called Red Hill The reader will observe
that, like some OF his countrymen IF the
present time, D'Ilinoyossa had Il rather linz
;tcd command OF the English language.
Following this. on the same page, is to be
seen the following letter, which was evil
IDENTIFY presented to the Council at this meet
ing at Spcsutia. and which speaks for itself:

DAT of which we have seen that, upon the
advice of Mr.. HoliingSworth. yoI are come
to the islands of Nathaniel (lie for to cN-
anime the lamentahlc murder done by the
Sanhican Indians unto four Engli>hmcn.
ut is thrlS): For rs much as hath appeared
to us that how have been four persons, out
of the province of Maryland, which, after
two DAYS stay, departed from hence other
plantations as rhry said, and by the way are
met hy the said Indians, by whom they ar"
murdered And on Marrttico, on the Iron
Hill. met them two Indians coming from
the MinuuaS country to one OF them thrN
did rive a hat. and nothing else: to the
other, they gave no, hing. The same Nv"
Indians came to the town, imagining n"th-
ING: but the murd"rrrS, which killed the
man did very secretly and speedily pass
this place up to the river: two Of three i'll
habitlnts of New AmStel did, in the nlean-
while lay hold OF these Indians, and l
caused them to b" brought To the fort; tat
,tter many examinations, found them not
uuilty. but that it was done by another M
lion: therefore we have released them, he
cause the innocent cannot suffer Tor the
guilty otherwise il would he Il ease Ground-
ed of no reason, besides there is some time
past between, and would have ocrasioned
between us and the Indians Il difference
which might damage It's with them to an
open war, whereby the culture of the coun-
try and the advancement of the colony would
b;. much hindercd, i'll which, apparently,
your Honor would take no comfort nor con-
tent with the two Indians which have not
been actually i'll the fort and therefore, let
| your Honor he assured that the releasing of
the two Indians hath not been done out OF
any i'll intent, NOR III the pre1udlce Oh so
GOOD Christians, our neighhnrS, i'll favor OF
the heathenS, which have committed from
time TO time divers murders and robberleS
upon our nation, also wishing that we could
lay hold of this good opportunity i'll reVtng-
ing ourselves upon the murderefS also. 10
| conclude. YOUR Honor may he confident that
the shedding of Christian blood is most de-
| testablc unto us, assuring yourself that we
shall contribute in all Things TO the preServ;'-
tiom of friendship with nrigh"orS OF orr ne

Then follows the cnmmi sion OF Captain
John Oibrr, authorizing him 10 take conf
,nand OF fifty soldier; and to march with
them to the Su>uurhannaueh>' f,rf. This
fort WAS probably just ah"y" the junction
of tl;. Dctnraru creek and SuSluchannl
river. There is ito doubt VIII itrver about
the SusquchannauyhS having Il fort AT that
place, because John Hans stillman testified
that he had seen It there. Stillman WAS an
Indian trader, and AT one time had = trad
ing-poSt 1T the junction of the Big and Lit
tie Elk creek He also had Il trading post
at the mOuth of the Suslnchanna river, and
was well acquainted with the Indians. His
evidence, taken many years afterwards,
when he was Il very old man, may he seen
in PENIS Breviate which WAS submitted t"
the English Court of Chancery when Penn
and Baltimore We're quarrcling about their
boundary lines.
Vincent, in his History of Delaware, says
this fort WAS upon Iron Hill; but, had HI

The Chronicle and Constltutiouaiist.

Last week We had the pleasure OF
a visit from Mr.. Earle l.. Jennings. the
energetic agent of this sterling daily and
weekly journal. The Chronicle and
Constitationalist has long been a neces-
sity Mt the Press and Banner office, and
any high praise which we would now
bestow on that paper which was first to
urge South Carolina to the political
course that brought her deliverance
would be only to repeat something that
we have said before. AS early rs 1875
that paper, with an ability and boldness
that was not without effect, urged us to
strike from our limbs the shackles
which hound lis, and to none are we
more indebted for our triumphs in 1876.
Always manly, h%igh-toned and honora-
bile, alike to friend and foe, the energy
and skill displayed in the general make.
up of the paper cannot fail to commend
itself to u citizens.

A PIcSIc To THE ALLEGuESlEs.-
About ten O'Clock In the morning Of
lovely day in the carly part of October We
len the hosW;Ablc home Of cur friends,
nestled among the Bald Eagle hills, for =
trip 10 tho Alleghcnics Nine of us, large
and small crowded into long wagon
drawn by two stout horsoa We were a
merry party. Nothing could be more
charming than our ride. The road thu,
wound up the mountains side was lined
with trecs and undcrbrush-bcforc Us
stretched n long vista of ovcrarching trees
narrowing with distance, while growing in
the cool, shaded places among the rocks
was the graceful waving fern, some a bdrh,
liyid green and Others buff or creamy white.
Everything showed signs OF drought.
At one place whore limpcd stream
was wont % come bubbling down the
mountain side, 1t was only a dry bod Of
stones, but farther on we found q little
spring, that, although not 80 large A. 1t
usually is, supplied us with a cool, refresh-
ing drink. But 10 the right and to the
lcft Of us, though some distance away, We
saw the smoke from fires on tho mountains
What a grand view We had from the
top slope after slope seemed to rise till
they almost touched the sky-tbe bright
pines and cvergrcens contrasted beautifully
with the yellow Ofthe hickory and the dull
color Of the oak leaves. Here and there
the overhAnging clouds were pictured by
the shadows that rested upon the face Of
the mountain, bringing the sunny spots out
into brighter relief
At the top we diverged from the road
into n by-road 10 what is Familiarity known
as "Wolfs hollow" Here we selccted
level, shady place and spread down our
blankets and buffalo robe from the wagon,
the seats Of which served as comfortable
sofas, while we eagerly gathered around
the large basket Of tempting refreshments
and jug Of sweet, rich, fresh cider that We

wants of the inner man the gentlemen Of
the party went in search Of chestnuts, with
the understanding that should they be sue
cessful, they would call US 10 the pleasant
task Of gathering them. In little while
they returned, but as others had been ahead
of them they were unsuccessful. So we
turned our faces homeward and were fully
compensated by the luxuriant beauty scat
tered along the pathway.
The quantities of grand pine and fern
tempted us not 10 90 home empty handed.
While the trusty horses logged leisurely
along, most Of US strolled down the noun
side culling boquets OF the green and
creamy white ferns frightened with the
glowing leaves of the maple. When VIC
were tired we returned 10 tho wagon laden
with what wo considered treasures, but
