men and women. His family consisted of five children by a second wife—viz.: Anna, 18 years; William, 16; Nelson, 12; Adeline, 10; Amanda, 8. With his pension and earnings he lived very comfortably. He asked for news of brothers Ebenezer, Gad, Jacob and their families. In a letter dated Cincinnati, 9 Sept. 1827, he says, My children of the first crop have gone from me, from Dan to Beersheba. He knew nothing of them, excepting that George, Polly, Francis and Henry resided near the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, where he had formerly lived. His daughter Susanna had died about a year before near Lebanon, Ohio, and he thinks left nine children to mourn her absence. Elisha and Joshua, his sons, now lived in Indiana, about forty miles from him. Where the rest were, he did not know. By the wife now living with him he has had six children (one then deceased). William, the eldest, lived with the son Joshua. Three girls and one boy were living at home. He had finished a snug, sma

rom the very outset the way he intended to follow, from which he did not deviate until he had reached the banks of the Susquehanna. We have described the valley of the Shenandoah at sufficient length to obviate the necessity of pointing out in this they would probably have had no means of defending, a solid mass of fugitives was hurrying along the left bank of the Susquehanna, thinking there was no safety except north of that river. Never, it is stated, had the bridge-toll produced such heaving up the atmosphere on the evening of the 28th of June, announced to the alarmed population on the right bank of the Susquehanna that the enemy had reached the river. In the mean time, Early was levying contributions upon York and sending detachfall upon his rear in the Cumberland Valley and cut him off from Virginia. Ewell, being already near the banks of the Susquehanna, could not come back quick enough to defend his communications directly. He adopted a course which was both daring an

flows northward through Will's Valley from the borders of Georgia and Alabama. In this last State the dip is southward, and rills form the Big Will's Creek, which, coursing around the extremity of Lookout Mountain, empties at Gadsden into the Coosa River: we have already alluded to this district in reference to Streight's expedition. Between Lookout Mountain and the Blue Ridge on the east about thirty-one miles will cover the breadth of the great depression which, from the banks of the Susquehanna, separates this range from the Alleghany Mountains, properly speaking. Where Lookout Mountain lies the district is covered in part with small parallel spurs. The first on the west is Missionary Ridge, a succession of big knobs like shelves detached from the mountain. Gradually separating from the mountain and trending northward, this spur forms the small valley of Chattanooga Creek, which gives its name to the town situate near to its mouth. Pigeon Mountain, soldered as it were to the

move from the old homestead, and with a wife, a yoke of oxen, a cow, and a few husbandry tools, build a small hut in some new plantation, and by tasking every faculty of mind and body, win for themselves plenty and independence. Such were they who began to dwell among the untenanted forests that rose between the Penobscot and the Sainte Croix, or in the New Hampshire Grants, on each side of the Green Mountains, or in the exquisitely beautiful valley of Wyoming, where on the banks of the Susquehanna, the wide and rich meadows, shut in by walls of wooded mountains, attracted emigrants from Connecticut, though their claim of right under the charter of their native colony was in conflict with the territorial jurisdiction of the proprietaries of Pennsylvania. The mild climate of the south drew the herdsmen till further into the interior. In defiance of reiterated royal mandates, Virginian adventurers outgrew all limits of territorial parishes, and seated themselves on the New River, ne

oravians; and there, three years later, Brainerd wore away life as a missionary among the fifty cabins of the village. Logan had grown up as the friend of white men; but the spirits of his kindred clamored for blood. With chosen companions, he went out upon the war path, and added scalp to-scalp, till the number was also thirteen. Now, said the chief, I am satisfied for the loss of my relations, and will sit still. But the Shawanese, the most warlike of the tribes, prowled from the Alleghany river to what is now Sullivan county in Tennessee. One of them returned with the scalps of forty men, women, and children. On the other hand, a party of white men, with Dunmore's permission, destroyed an Indian village on the Muskingum.

med and equipped, and there are 5,000 more in the county ready to rush to the rescue at a moment's notice, and teach the rebels a lesson that they would not forget in a hurry if they attempted to invade the Southern counties. These Home Guards are drilling every day, and are now quite an efficient force. A proclamation from the Mayor has been issued strongly supporting the one from the Governor regarding the arming of the State. The rebels cannot advance to Harrisburg across the Susquehanna river without encountering a force in their front perhaps as large as their own, independent of the army which would certainly fall upon their rear in such an event. There is a fond at a place called Peach Bottom, on the Susquehanna, about twenty miles from here, by which the enemy might attempt a demonstration against Philadelphia. Even a demonstration of this kind is exceedingly improbable. There are two, and only two, objects, I am now satisfied, which the rebels can hope to accomplish

issioner of Exchange, for files of Northern papers of Thursday, the 18th inst, and preceding dates, giving us unbroken files of Northern journals. The third page of the New York Herald is emblazoned with a map of Pennsylvania, south of the Susquehanna river, showing the route of the "Rebel Invasion," and the line of the Federal defence. All Pennsylvania is a blaze of excitement, and meetings are held in every city, township, and country precinct, to volunteer to check the advance of the Confederate troops.--fortifications are being rapidly erected all along the North bank of the Susquehanna, and General McClellan or Gen. Franklin has been called for to head the State troops. That our readers may appreciate the rapid growth of the Federal terror and the progress of our army, We give a condensation of the first dispatches, dated the 15th. On that day the intelligence was received that Lee, with an army 90,000 strong, was marching northward and Hooker was marching on to prevent an a
