all the forces raised, or to be raised,
in Virginia.
In execution OF the duties Of his
new Office, Washington, after giving
the necessary orders for the recruiting
service, visited the frontiers. He
found many posts, but few soldiers.
OF these the best disposition was
made. While on his wsy to Williams
burg to arrange a plan Of operation
with the lieutenant.governor, he was
overtaken by an express below Fred
erich sbure, with information that the
back settlements were broken up by
parties of French and Indians, who
were numbering and capturing men,
women ADD children, burning their
houses, and destroying their crops,
and that the few troops stationed on
the frontiers, unable TO protect the
country, had retreated to small stoc.
kade forts. Washington altered his
course from Williamsburg to Winches.
ter, and endeavored to collect a force
for the defence Of tho country. But
this was impossible. The inhabitants
instead Of assembling 10 arms, ana
facing the invaders, fed before them,
aud extended the general panic.
While the attention Of individuals
was %engrossed by their families and
private concerns, the general safety
was neglected. The alarm became
universal, and the utmost confusion
prevailed. Before any adequate force
was collected to repel the assailants,
they had safely crossed the Allegheny
mountains, after having done an i'm.
msnsity of mischief. Irruptions Of
this kind were repeatedly made into
the frontier settlements Of Virginia,
in the years Of 1856, 1867 and 1853.
These generally consisted Of o con
siderable number Of French and H.
dams, who were detached from Fort
Duquesne. It was their usual prao.
tice on their approaching the settle
ments, to divide into small parties,
and avoiding the forts, to attack soil

live in the woods, found little Difficult.

fatal blow was struck. Sunday unim-

various results, but the numbbr killed
on both sides was uncomfortable,
when compared with the mischief
done, and the many who were put to
death, otherwise than in battle. The
invaders could seldom be brought to .
regular engagement. Honorable war
was not in their contemplation. Plum.

their objects. The ~assemblsge Of q

STUDYING ELECTRICITY.
Among the most suggestive expert
ments in electricity is that Of tn,
pith balls. The pith Of cornstalks o,
other vegetable growth arc used be

Balls the size Of q pea are made Of
this substance and hung by cottor
threads and fastened to a knob, plat,
or the point Of . wire that will con
duct electricity. The cotton threat

CHAPTER I 1853 to 1853.
CONTINUED from last week.
The controversy about the Ohio
lands, which began in Virginia, was
taken up very seriously by Great
Britain, and two British regiments
were sent to America to support the
claims Of his Britannia majesty.
They arrived early in 1865, and we're
commanded by Gen. Braddock. That
Officer, being informed of the talents
Of George Warrington, invited him to
servo the campaign as . volunteer aid
de camp. The invitation was cheer
'ully aceepted, and Washington
joiusd Gen Braddook near Alexandria,
and proceeded with him to Wills
Greek, afterwards called Fort Cumber-
land. Here the army was detailed
till the 18th Of June, waiting for
wagons, horses and provisions. WASH
ington had early recommended The use
Of pack horses, instead Of wagons for
conveying the baggage Of the army.
The propriety Of this advice soon be-
came apparent, and . considerable
change wal made in conformity to it.
The army had not advanced much
moro than ten miles from Fort Cum
bsrlsnd, when Washington was seized
with . violent fever, but nevertheless
continued with the army, being con.
veyed in 4 covered wagon, after he
had refused to stay behind, though so
much exhausted as to be unable to
ride on horseback. He advised the
general to leave his heavy artillery
aad baggage behind, and to advance
rapidly to Fort Duquesns, with . &C.
lset body Of troops, . few necessary
stores, and some pieces Of light artil.
lsry. Hopes were INDUCED that by
this expeditions movement, Fort Du.
9uesoe might he reached in it's present
weak state with ! force sufficient to re.
duce it, before expected reinforce.
ment should arrive. Gen. Braddock
approved the scheme, and submitted it
to the consideration of a council held
st the Little Meadows, which recon.
mended that the commander in chief
should advance as fast % possible
with 1900 select men, and that Col.
Dunbar should remain behind with
the remainder Of the troops and the
heavy baggage. This advanced corps
commenced its march with only thir
ty carriages, but did not proceed with
tho rapidisy that was expected. They
frequently halted 10 level the road
and 10 build bridges over inconsider
able brooks. They = consumed fou'
days in passing over the first nineteer
miles from Little Meadows. At thil
place, the physicians declared tina
Col. Washington's life would DO on
dangered by advancing with the army
He was therefore ordered by Gen
Braddock to stay behind with a SINAI
guard till Dunbar should arrive wit
the rear Of the army. AS soon as hi
strength would permit, he Joined tn
advanced detachment, and immediat,
