Though we may sing of arfd tell about the hardy awl true men who fought so bravely and ^ * i: i *? suttereu so greatly iu esiumiaii >uc ^uuupi^ of that ^08wtiwnui4 wwter we ruiw e.\i*f, we must-not forget those heroic women who, as mothers And wives, sent forth with eager hearts apd cheering words their sops and ha ? bands to the hitter fields of strife, or as si ters aided to clothe and equip their brothers. The r aching hearts were silent, their burning tears were blushed away, as with smiles they embraced them at parting, and with high words of. trustful faith, like the women of Sparta, hade them turn no back upon the conquering foe. * The records of nil ag>*s bear no slight testi^ niony'to the devoted courage of woman; and were nor own history more perfectly known, instances of female courage would be found to .-parallel the, (post wonderful of ancient chronicles. \Ve have now to record an act * nerformed by a young woman during our revolutionary struggle, which, for nerve and desperatenees.'is searcelyto be matched. ia the year 1778, Wheeling, Virginia, was besieged by a large forco of British and Indians. At this time the fort, with an insufficient force, was under the command of Colone) Silas Znne, a brave and meritorious officer. Distant from this about eighty yards, and out side the wall, \va? situated a mock-iiousc, hi which was Colonel Ebeuezer Zane, a brother of Sila*. and the senior officer, with a few men. There were sfcvcral women in the fort, and among them at the time was Elizabeth Zane, a sister of the Colonel. She was a toang woman ot extraordinary beauty, having a tall and fiutly formed iigure, with a bead like Jono; a black eye, mild aud firm in its expression; a voice 6oft and musical as a lute; and with an expression of countenance as bland as Italian skies, though beneath it might slumber passions as warm as the fires of Vesuvius. It may be supposed that many a soldier's eye followed, her wistfuH}*, as in days of quiet she roamed about the fort, or strolled for a walk in company with one of her brothers. Many a proposal bad been made iu vain. Officers of high rank had sued for her, and many a gallant emprise was undertaken in her name, hut all to no effect, so far as winning her affections went She was not one of those light-witted women to be caught by fine show and fine professions. As far as the heart went, she nlaced do difference between high-nodding plumes and the last man in tho ranks?the last ^ man, not the least She was above that ago y when young. women are tho most apt to he ' caught by tine compliments op dashing appearances; but, plain and direet in her manner, it was her study to give no encouragement to the attentions of ji?r numerous suitors. Yet from this description tho reader must not infer that she was not susceptible to the softer pug. sion of lovo. * Far from it, for her troth was at that time plighted; nor could the most nmbitions thought in.the world have tempted her to swerve from the sanctity of vows made to the lover of her choice?made, as all lovers' oaths are, in the quiet evening hour, and witnessed - ' - ?-'.lSx.11 iL. by me moon, inn lovers piariei, auu?an wio BtJirry hosts of heaven:"* Among the soldiers hi the fort at this time, none was a greatcrfjivorite with officers and men than Ashly Harper. Bdld, adventurous, and j?nerons almost to a fault, no hazardous oxqtifton was projected in which he was not nlw^teady to volunteer, and many a desperate adventure, and many a forlorn hope, had seen him fuce the savage foe With odds against h'm; and while powder flashed and bayomts gl ; ined, lie was sure to be. found .in the hotle t j od but a f few yards from the fort, g ?"Conc'dering, as well he might, * f Ways and means tor a supper lh.it night." h he looked about with a solemn scowl, and bemilliner from the shadow of the fort a lover ' ! and his mistress?he knew it was h lover and !,c ' his mistress, they spoke so tenderly to one an! other. F They came out from the fort Stealthily,* and stole softly over the green sward to the foot of . 6 the chesnut, and sitting,down upon one of the 0 knurled loots, said kind things, uttered'sacred 1 vows, and breathed fervent- sighs one to the * other. They sat there an hour?a good hour P by the fnarch of Saturn-?talking and sighing- v ail the while, when, culling upon all die-stars 1 to witness their oaths, and sealing their vows with a kiss, they retired. . ' 8 It was-but a short time after this occurrence '' that the seige of Wheeling was commenced by the British and Indians; and although the place 11 was defended with zeal and an unlimited 6 amount of courage, the hopes of the beteiged ^ grew somewhat dim as ihey looked forth upon v ! the masses that surrounded them. A scarcity 8 j of provisions was not what alarmed them, for 8 I of those at present they had a sufficient sup- 8 ' ply; hut alarm became almost consternation " when it was announced, on the second day of P the seige, that their powder was short. Sever. 8 at desperate assault* had been inndo by the f i enemy to break into the fort, hut Colonel Zune *' | and his men repulsed and drove them back as f ! vigorously as they assaulted. The Indians on 1 J1 two or three occasions attempted the destruc- 1 tion of the fort and block-house by lire; but in 1 each instance -they were shot down ere the ^ | faggot and the burning brand could be applied. ^ ' But ultimately those in the fort began to iaiHn F their hopes'of a successful defence, when the r word was passed around that tliey were in the '' possession of a few charges of powder only. v Theie was an. abundant supply in the block- 1 house, which they had been prevented from v removing by the suddenness of the assault; '' but how was it to be gotten now? Surrounded ^ by the most inveterate of foes, what -possible ^ method could be adopted to procure them a sup- ^ ply of ammunition! Their condition must be known to the enemy the moment their fires slackened, and then they could easily be de- f stroved without the least show of defence. The second day ol'the siege had well ugh e worn ,nway?it was in the middle of tne 11 afternoon. The- last shot had been fired 8 ?the last grain y, one do< outii oi Campbell's Bakery, and opposite 11.
