1 ^A?t?t?#W??Oer part of th? year 1751,
tho Fre?oh, aided by vt?Bt bodice of tho
Hurons'aud Iroquois Indiaos, had begun
? bore to tho Rritieh arid Araerioan colonies
Ia Northern Virginia, the North wost portion
. of Nov York ?tato-tho Freuob by their
.*?noroaohmenta oa the frontier, and tho Io?
diaos by their numorous forays ?nd savage
barbarity to ait who were uufortuuato
enough to fall iuto thoir hands.
To put a stop to theso progreso! vo pro?
ooediogs, numerous bodies, both of the
regulars nnd colonial militia, ?ere despatch
ed to tho several points assailed; among
the rost a Col. Henry Innis, with a oom
p^ny of thirty men, was ordered to oooupy
' . email outpost, or log fort, willoh at that
period, stood within a TOW miles from tho
North Fork of th? Allegheny river.
Having arrived safely at their quarters,
tho little company set ?bout righting up the
old post to make it as oomfortablo as cir
cumstances would permit, and this being
eton? and order onco moro restored, sentries
were plsoed at all the advaneed points of
the station, whilo tho strictest vigilenoo
?ss both enjoined and exerolsod by day and
night.
Among the Virginia riflemon who had
Volunteered into tho oompaoy, was a tali
manly looking young fellow who from fatal
nnd unerring skill ss a marksman had re
ceived the somewhat inspiring norn do
plume of Death. But with whatever jus
tice his-name had been applied to him for
his skill, his disposition oertainly entitlod
him to no suoh terror sptoading epithet.
On tho contrary, ho waa tho very life of the
company.
His rich fund of mother wit, large social
. propensities and constant good nature ron?
tiered him a general favorito with tho men;
while tho neVof failing stook of game
which his skill enabled him to supply tho
mess table of tho offioore, not only recom
mended him to their good graoos, but
caused many a littlo short coming of his to
he winked at and passed over in silouoo,
whioh otherwise, perhaps, ho might not
haye got over so easy.
The eompany had not been stationed at
tho fort more than a weok, ore Death, in
one of his excursions for game, discovered
a small farm house, somo throo miles from
the fort, witera lived a oertain Miss Iles tc:
Stanhope, whoso equal in beauty and amia
ble qualities ho had never seen before
And to render himself still more oertain ol
tho faot, he called on tho following doi
uudcr oover of tho pretenso of having lot
his powder flask.
Death was invited to ooroc again by far
mer Stanhope, who bapnonod to bo fron
tho same parish as tho father of our hero
and we neod soarooly say that tho invita
tion was both oagotly and joyfully aoooptei
and as ofton ns oiroumstanocs would permit
complied with.
The sooond week ofter this ooourreno
took plhoo, was marked with two ovents
whiob, though singular, both offooted th
wolfare of widely different dogrccs of im
portanoo. Tho first was, Death had eithc
lost his skill as a marksman or that gam
had removed to a safer and moro.distan
neighborhood, for tho officers' lardor ha<
been sadly wanting in tho items of wood
cook?, black cooks, partmigan, &o., for th
week past-and tho second nud most im
portant of tho two ovents, was, that in reg
ular succession, four sen ti nols had disop
??eared from the extreme left lino, withou
eaviog the slightest traoo to oluoidato th
. mystery of their disappearance.
Tho cirouaistanco struok suoh a drem
into the breast of the company, that n
one could be found willing to volunteer t
take tho post-well knowing it would b
only Uko signing thoir own doath warran
to do so; and Gol. Innis, not wishing t
wilfully saorifice tho lives of his men b;
compelling them to go, enjoined doubl
. caution on the remainder of tho sentineU
and left tho post unoccupied for a night o
two.
Two or threo rooonnoitoring partios ha
been despatched off around tho ncighboi
hood in tho hope of finding somo oluo t
tho mystery, or of obtaining some intolli
genoe of tho enemy, butoaoh of them ro
turned as wiso aa they started, with n
reward for thoir troublo oxoept wear
bones.
lt was on tho third night of tho desor
tion of tho poBt that our hero, Death, wt
returning to tho Fort, after puying a vis
to Stanhope's farm. The moon was up, bu
her light was nearly ult obscured by th
denso masses of clouds whioh at overy fo
minutes were driven by a pretty stiff broez
ovor hov faco, whilo the hugo trees, no
all in full leaf, cracked and groaned, an
bent their tall forms to and fro, os tl
heavy gusts rushed whistling in among the
hranehes.
Our hero had approaohed within a hui
(Ired yards of tho termination of tho fores
that skirted the small open spaoo in whio
tho fort stood, when bo soddenly .pause
and orouohing down upon his barnda an
knees erspt cautiously forward a few paoci
Having remained in this position for sevo
ral minutes, he stealthily again returned i
the manner he had advanoed, and plunge
into the forest at a point considerably low(
than whero he had intended to loavo
boforo.
Col. Innis sat reading alone in his pr
yate apartment, when an orderly entorc
and informed him that one of tho mc
wished to speak to him.
< "Bond him io," said tho colonol; and >
tho noxt moment our friood Death had ci
terad, and mado his bow to the oommsn<
log offieer.
?Well what sorapo have you boon got ti n
toto now?" said tho colonel when he ss
who his visitor was.
?None, Colonel," repliod Death; "but
have como to ask a favor."
?Let us hear it," said tho Colonel, "an
wo will then seo what weean do."
' "Well Colonel, it is simply this, if ye
will pat tho "rifles" under my orders f<
to night, and lot mo oooupy tho deserte
post, I will not only ol oar up tho mystery i
the disappearance of the sentries, but mal
the post ti os ble for tho future."
, '?Bat ho.v?" said tho Colonel, in intent
surprise.
Ml guess, Colonol," answered Deatl
?you had bettor let mo have tho mon, on
order us off, and I'll tell voa thc whol
affair afterwards, I promise that not on
shall rcooive a single soratoh,. that is if tho
follow my directions implioitly."
"Von are s strange man," said tho Colo
niel, "bat I fdlult T will let you have you
way tilla timi, When do you iQtoo? to,
<4la about an hour's timo," sbswerod tho
.^Nery will, ? ?rill gWo neoessa,ry ordors,
so that you can start whoo you think pro?
por. Add whit it moro, if you perform all
that you hove promised and don't oause me
tO ropobt having honored you, you shall
hnvo poor Campbell's plaoo.
II co tor Campbell was a breve but very
head strong young Scotchman, who had
oeonpied the post of Lieutenant at tho fort.
Io a Budded freak of daring ho voluoteered
to stand sentry at the fatal spot whoro
th reo acut rica had already mysteriously disi
appeared, sud he paid for his rashness with
his life. . k.
"Now my lads," Bald Death, "as in about
an hour af tor his conversation with Col.
Innis, he approached the deserted posts
at tho bead of s dozen riflemeu who had
been temporarily placed at his oommand,
"1 will toll you what wo aro going to do.
Tho long and short of the affair is simply
this: it's a gang of thom cussed thieving
Iroquois, that have circumvented and oar
, ried off our four moo-shooting them
with their rifles."
"To night es I was returning to the fort,
I suddenly thought I heard tho sound of
soveral voices, and oroepiog on my hands
and. knees towards tho spot, got near enough
to hear and seo that about a dozen wero
thon and there arranging their plans to
j surprise the fort to-night-intending tostoal
in upon it by the point which their oussod
deviltry had rendered BO essy of access. I
only stopped long enough to learn this,
when I hurried off to the Colonel aud asked
bira to plaoo you at my disposal; and
hero wo aro. I did not say a word to him
about what I had learned, hoing determined
that if possible the 'rifles' should havo
tho honor of exterminating the varlets.
And now I ask, aro you willing and roady to
follow my orders?"
Every mao cheerfully answered in tho
nflirniativo; and with quickened pulsee,
and sanguine hopes, tho little company move
forward again.
The post consisted of a long narrow
epaco, bounded on oaoh sido by a rooky
shelving bank, while its extremo cod was
closed in by dark and impenetrable looking
forests.
Tho bank on caoh sido of tho pasa was
covered thickly with brush and undergrowth
and among theso Death now carefully con
oealod his mon; taking enro to arrange them
so that their Aro would oross ouoh other,
end bidding thom not to Aro until ho had
given them tho signal, and after they had
fired not to stop to reload, but dubbing
their rifles, to jump down and fiuish tho
struggle in that munncr.
With steady alacrity oaoh man took up
tho post assigned him; and in another mo
ment thc spot presented tho same lone, still
and solemn appearance it had worn prc?
vious to their arrival.
Tho little company had begun to grow
very impatient, and Death himself feared
they had either abandoned tho attempt, or
else changed they; plan of attack, when
suddenly his quiok eyes deteotod .tho fori?
of one of his crafty foes issue in a
crouching position, from tho dcop shadow
which tho lofty trees throw far up tho
pass.
"Three, six, wino, twelve, thirteeu,"
counted heath, as ono after ai,other they
emerged, in singlo filo, from tho wood,
and with quiok cat like stealthiness of movo
mont, advanced up the pass, their rifles
in trail and their faces and bodies ren
dered still moro hideous aod ferocious looking
by tho grotesqc markings of their warpaint.
On they carno swiftly and silently nod all
unconscious of tho futo thi.t was in store
for thom.
Tho foromo3t of tho band, whoso com
manding stature, wolf teeth collar, aud
oagle tuft, at once proclaimed him as tho
chief, had advanced until ho WJS directly
opposito tho bush in which Death was
hid, whon tho latter, with startling dis
tinction, suddenly imitated tho cry of
a night owl, and disoharged his rifle.
Eight of tho Indians toll by tho vol
ley now poured in upon them, but strange
to say that ono of thc fivo that did not
fall was tho chief that Death aimed at.
This unu?ual event was owing to thc
following cause: tho brunch of tito bush
on which ho had steadied his aim in
firing had suddenly yielded at thc mo
mont ho hud discharged his piece,
rendering harmless his otherwise uner
ring aim.
Uttering an imprecation at his ill luck,
Death sprung down tho bink with thc rest
of his companions, and with ono bound
roached tho sido of tho Iroquois ohief.
They grappled und both foll heavily to tho
ground, clasped in a fearful embrace, und
darted glances of savage hntrend ot ench
other beneath their knitting aud scowling
brows.
"Keep offl" shouted Death, ns ho saw
ono or tWO of his companions in the
net of stooping down to assist him,
''Koop offl And if he masters mo let
him go.''
Over and over they rolled, writhing ond
straining, but seemingly neither obtaining
any advantage over tho other. At lust tho
head of tho Iroquois suddenly carno in con
tact with tho point of a rock that pro
truded from ibo bimi;, stunning him so thut
ho released his vise grip of Death's thront;
and tho latter, thus released, springing to
his feet finished his career by bringing tho
heavy brceoh of his nile with sledge hummer
foroo down on his head.
Tho remaining four Indians had been
likewise dispatched; and tho victorious
riflemen (none of whom hud reoeived
any wound worth mentioning,) now set
up such a shout of triumph for their vio'ory
that tho echoes of tho woods rung it for
minutes after.
A?? Col. Innis promised, Death was pro
moted to tho vacant post of Lieutcnunt;
and now door reador, wo bog to inform you
that our hero and uncompromising veteran
General Morgan, of revolutionary notoriety
wero one nod tho samo individual. About
a fortnight after this eventful night, Stan
hope's farm became tho scene of as much
mirth, good outing and dancing, as could
bo possibly disposed of during twenty four
hours, and although wo think it will bc
almost superfluous to do so, will add, that
the 0SU80 of all this merry makins: was
tho marrisgo . of tho Beauteous Hester
Stanhope to Lieutenant Henry Morgan.
