Massacre by Tecumseh.
Correspondence Of the Register.
GREENvILLE, W. VA, August 10.
Your correspondent, who was called
off here into the wilds Of West Virginia
on business, decided to combine pleasure
with the trip, and accordingly joined
large party OF ladies and gentlemen,wh
left Marietta, o., on August sth, for the
purpose OF camping ont" Their des-
tination was reached on August 10th,
and their tents were pitched several
miles from this little village, up the
Hughes river, on tract OF land which
has lately been sold to Park and Ora
ham, OF Pittsburgh. The tract, contain.
ing about 900 acres, brought the sum
of Sl5, 900, and was purchased solely LOT
the lumber which is on it They Will
strip the land OF its timber, saw 1t at
their mill and raft it in the river here,
and when the water rises, float 1t to
Parkersburg, from whence it will be
towed to Pittsburg. An immense trafhc
in this line of business Is carried on IN
this portion OF the State, and it will not
be many years, We hope, before this
country, which is naturally rich, will
be fully developed by the Improvement
of our rivers and by railroad facilities.
About mile above here there is
SPOT to which the natives point with
reverence and awe. 1t is the Neil
house at which Tecumseh and his band
of six Shawnese Indians captured ne
gro boy, whom they took with them on
that memorable trip when they COM
mitted the horrible massacre few miles
above Williamstown. A gentleman
loaned us a book, the only one in the
State probably, which contained an &C
count Of this horrible butchery. 1t ap'
pears that man named Carpenter, his
little son and party of six white men
were driving herd OF cattle from
Clarksbnrg to Marietta. They had nearly
reached Marietta when night overlook
them and they decided to make camp.
This band OF indians got on their trail
and Just at sunrise on one Thursday
moning in the year 1871 they reached
this camping place. The negro boy

to tree on the top OF the nearest hill,
from which he witnessed the horrible
deed committed by the Indians.
Carpenter had awakened his men
from their pleasant slumbers, and was
in the act OF offering thanks to Almighty
God for his care during the night, when
these blood thirsty villains descended
upon them and took their life's blood.
The massacre took place near the
mouth of what has ever since been
known as Carpenters Run, which
empties its waters into the grand Ohio
just above Carpenters bar, point we'll
known to all river men. Not long since
We took some trouble to visit the graves
of these unfortunate men, who were
buried near where they fell by soldiers
encamped at Williamstown, then known
as Williams Station. These graves are
situated a short distance up the Run in
a forest and are allowed to 90 unattend-
ed, many OF the inhabitants OF the
neighboring county being wholly I'M
aware of where they lie. w.

any previous year, and DURING that and
the four years next preceding more
miles were constructed than during the
entire previous history OF the country.
Was IL cafe then to judge the future by
the past? No more 30 than it ID now,
and this fairweather prophets said II was
not: and vet the panic came In 1857.
During the five days ended Dec. 81 1872,
the number of miles OF railroad con-
structed in the United States was 20
92i, or considerably more than twice as
many as during any previous period OF
five years, and 40 per cent. more than
have been constructed during the past
five years. Again the fair-weather
prophets said it was not safe 10 Judge
the future by the past, and wanted TO
know who could tell what the future
had in store for this great country; but
their contempt for the past and fair
promises for the future did not avert
the panic OF 1873, nor make the year oil
that followed any the less
painful. In fact, the signs OF prosperity
were the same in kind, il not IN degree,
before each OF the two last panics that.
they are now, and il there is any better
reason now than there was then Tor IN
dulging feeling OF security The Ctronl.
Gle has not yet succeeded in making that
reason apparent. ~,
In view of all the known facts, Mr.;
Thompson may certainly be excused
for speaking a word of caution to the
bankers. He does not predict panic
for this year or the next: but il he per-
ceived no danger Of one for the next tiye
or ten wears he would be not the less
excusable for reminding them that they
should avoid every act calculated to pro-
duce those conditions which favors the
OF apanic. He is excus-
able for saying:
sin receiving deposits from the general
and promiscuous public, we morally,
though perhaps not legally, assume
fiduciary trust, and in using such de-
posts the utmost caution and conserva-
ton should be strictly adhered to by al
ways having a sure and speedy con:
probability over a sufficient amount OF
our assets to meet any demand obilga-
tions,' even in the light OF raging panic.
at is criminal to assume liabilities or
enter into negotiations, though ever 30
over which hangs con-
tingency that may possibly endanger
this fiduciary trust.
