%Mi& HEROINE OF WHEELING.
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

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 <?f the fray. Ou two occasionsJfcad he saved ai
j t!:e life of his superior officer,, .wheto the uplifted tl
; tomahawk glittered with the Mtfful"expectation
I of its victim's blood. He hS^tolisted in the tr
! service a year previous, as%nirofte; and al- o
though promotion to the ran? of. a ifojjpom- n
j missioned officer had been ottered liinf 6h ac!
count of his good qualities as-n soldier andln- a
lelligence as a man, he had refused its accept- e
1 ' J ?no kw ?vn!?r ilncirA WAR to

j serve his country, he was willing to serve n
' throi gh the war as a private, leaving all condi- tl
j tions above that to soldiers more competent and n
! more ambitious. He was the son of a rospee- e
table farmer, whose industry had enabled him to
raise up and respectably educate a large family b
?a man of severe discipline, whose watchful
eye detected youthful faults in time to prevent f
their maturing to crimes. He had been intimate
with the family of the Zanes, and, when b
Ashley expressed a desire to enlist, the old h
man easily prevailed upon Col. Silas to enrol t!
him.among his own men. p
Now we will not pretend to say that there j<
had been any particular understanding between v
I Miss Elizabeth, and the young gentleman above s
: spoken of pre* ions to ids becoming a soldier, a
though such a thing might possibly have been a
in amute way. Verbal declarations certainly t
had not been made; for an owl told how, one i
moonlight evening, while he was sitting in the r
shady branches of a chesnut that tt>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 <if powder was exhaurted.
Now, what - was to be done? Mai e ?
terms of capitulation, or despairing, submit to
fate? They in the block-house still held out
! bra vol v, and a li tie concert of action might F

show symptoms of wavering. At this eri. is a
Colonel Zane called his men around him, Hi d c
after describing to them the situation in which
they were placed, he desired to know if there
was any one among them desperate enough to p
attempt a passage through the enemy to the g
block-house. He added that it was indeed a a
lot lorn hope, but at the worst could not remain
in their present condition. No answtr
followed the appeal. The men gazed at t! e;r j
commander and into the eyes of t-ach other
with the most complete despair, and with faces
hlarik with any ray of hope. Elizabeth stood I
by the tide of her brother, silent; but that silence
was more eloquent than the words of
the Colonel. Perhaps, though, a slight pang (
might have fluttered her pulse to hear no one c
speak. Was theie not one brave enough to (
peril life for the salvation of the whole? Am j
munition was all that was wanted. Oue keg a
of powder, and they were free! At this mo- 8
uicnt u young man stepped modestly forward .
and said: ,
',ri * 1 ' -?*Jt k/i nuactiflrn TC\ 1
"uoionei, i wiu auempK ? - ,
fall, remember me; if I succeed "
His eye caught the expression of Elizabeth's "
features, ns they glowed upon him with unut- f
terablo fondness and pride, and fell to the
ground. Col. Zane stepped forward, and ta- c
king the young soldier's hand, said? u
"You are the man I expected would volun- n
teer for tliis enterprise. Co, and God protect
you! If they^feo you from the block-house,
they will try to cover you with their tire. Selfpossession
is your only hope. Now away,
while the eoeuiy are partiully withdrawn," j.
But here Elizabeth stepped forward, and,
addressing hor brother said? . *
"Silas, undertake this enterprise."
"YouT-tfeplied her brother, viewiny her wil
itonisfiAient. "Impossible! Do
13 danger of the attempt?"
"Perfectly," she answered. "Yo^^ave n
len'to spare., Every one is needed in defenc
f thejiort; and this is the only service l ea
mder ,
"But a man would be mo^e fleet, Elizabetl
nd more certaiu of success," said her brotl
r.
"Still 3rou hnvo no man to spare; and a w<
lan would not run the same danger in passir
irough the enemy. Besides, if I fall, I sha
ot be so much missed, nor your forces weal
tied."
The Colonel was affected to tears, and, en
racing his sister, exclaimed?
--?*? t III L. J... A
"11)60 go: UOU S will ue uuiic, auu me
le protect you!" ?
A doaen men now sprang forward, prompt*
y the devotion of this heroic woman; and As!
ty Harper, more argent than the rest, insist*
liat it was his right, as he was the first t
ropose. But Elizabeth would hear no ol
ections for the enterprise. Partially d

peod might be less impeded, she Vas let o
