THE KNIFE AND TOMAHAWK. BV A WESTERN MAN. About thirty milos below thc present city of Pittsburg, stood au pneieut fort, known os Fort McIntosh. It was built by a revolutionary general of that name in fie summer of 1778. It was one of tho lino of forts, which was inteuded to guard the peoplo who live south of the Ohio river, from the incurious of the savages to tho northward. This fort was , one of tho favorite resorts of tho great Indian spy and hunter, Captain Samuel Brady. Although his usual headquarters was Pittsburg, then consisting of a rude fort and a score or two of rough frontier tenements. Brady had emigrated westward, or rather bad marched thither in 1778, as a lieutenant in the eighth Pennsylvania Regiment, under tb*} command of Gener al Richard Broadhead, of Easton. When in tho spring of 1779, McIntosh retired from command in tho West, Broadliead succeeded him, and remained at Pittsburg until 1781. Shortly after his advent to tho West, Brady was brevetted Captain. Brady had served at ino siego of Boston, fought at Long Island and White Plains, gono through tho whole of the terrible campaign of Trenton and Princeton, suffered at Valley Forge, distinguished himself at Germantown and Brandywine, and narrowly escaped death a Paoli. But his tastes led him to the erratic mode of warfare known upon tho frontier. Indeed the early education upon the upper Susquehanna had incul cated and developed those tastes from the very earliest boyhood. Hatiugnn Indian with that instinctive hatred, which is be gotten in tho bosom of tho white rnce, by tong years of contest and outrage, a bitter intensity was imparted to tho feeling in bis cato by the murder of his father and n younger brother by the Indians, under trying and terrible circumstances. Having premised this much by way of introduction, it brines us to tho open ing of our story. On '.bo 21-it day ?if August, 1779, Brady Eet out from Fort McIntosh, for Pittsburg. He had with him two of his trusty and well-tried followers. These were not attached to tho regular army, as ho was, but were scouts aud Bpies who had been with him on many au expedition. They were Thomas Bov ington and Benjamin Biggs. Brady re solved to follow thc northern bank of tho Ohio. Biggs objected to this, upon tho grouud, as Brady well knew, that the woods were swarming with savages. Bra dy, however, had resolved to travel by tho old Indian path, and having made up his mind no consideration could deter bim from carrying out his determination. Bevington had such implicit faith in his ability to lead that he never thought of questioning his will. Quite a discussion arose between Biggs and his captain at tho mouth of Beaver river, about a mile above tho fort, and where they must cross thc Ohio, iftboy continued on tho northern side. BiggJ finally yielded his objections, mid they crossed Beaver and proceeded with the habitual caution of woods-men who fully understood their business. They bau started early, and by rapid traveling tboy had reached, ere noon came, the last piece of bottom land on the north side of thc river.jiiBt below what is known as tho Narrows. Upon this bottom a E?oncer, moro daring than most othors. nd built n cabin, and opened a small spot of cleared Land. He bad planted it in corn, and it gave promise of u most abundant harvest. But as they approached the edgo of tho clearing, just outside of the fence, Brady discovered "Indian signs," as be called them. His companions discovered them almost as quick as he, and tit once, in low tones, communicated to each other tho necessity of a keen watch. They slowly trailed them along tho side bf tbe fence toward the bouse, whose situation they well knew, until tbey stood on the brow of tho bluff bank which overlooked it. A sight of tho most terrible descrip tion met their eyes. Tho cabin lay in a mass of smouldering ruins ; from hence dull bluo Bmoko roso in tho clear August sunshine. They observed closely every thing about it. Brady knew it was. cus tomary for the Indians after they had fired a settlor's cabin, if tbero was no im mediate danger, to retire to tho woods close at band, and watch for the approach of any member of tho family who might cbnuce to bo r.b."eut when they made the descent. Not knowing but that they were oven then lying close by, bo left Bevington to watch the ruins, lying un der cover, whilst ho proceeded to .he northward and Biggs southward, to make discoveries. Both wero to return to Bevington, if they found no Indians. If they were too numerous to bo attacked regularly, Brady declared it his purpose to have one fire at them and that should be the signal for both of his followers to make tho liest of their way to the fort. All this rapidly transpired, and with Brady to decide, was to act. As he stole cautiously round to the northern nido of tho inclosure, he heard n voice in the distance Binging. He listened keenly and coon discovered from its intonations, that it was a white man's. Ho passed rapidly in tho direction whence the sound carno. As it approached be hid himself behind tho trunk of a large tree. Pres ently a white man, riding a fine bono, came .dowdy down the path,. Tho form was that of Albert Gray, tbs stalwart, brave, devil-may-care Bettler, who had built him a home miles away from tbe fort, whore no one would dare to take a family, except himself. Brady wore, as bo almost always did, tho Indiau garb, and had war paint upon his face. Ho knew that if he showed himself upon tho path, Gray would shoot, taking him to be an Indian. He there fore suffered Gray quietly to approach his lurking place. When the time came, he sprang forward ere tbe settler could have time to prepare, drew his tomahawk, and seizing bim dragged bim from his horse. A3 he did so, he whispered to bim : "I am Captain Brady, for God's sake bo quiet" Gray, with tho instinctive feeling of one who kuew there was danger, and with that vivid presence of mind which characterizes those acquainted with ? frontier life, ceased at once to struggle. ? The horse had been started by the sudden onslaught, and sprung to one side. Ere , he baa time to leap forward, Brady had caught him by the bridle. His loud ? snorting threatened to arouse any one who was near. The captain soon soothed ' the frightened animal into quiet. , Gray now hurriedly asked Brady what the danger was. The strong, vigorous i spy, turned away his face unable to an- i swer him. Tbe settler's already excited fears were tbus turned into realities. The manly form shook like an .aspen leaf, i . with emotion-tears fell aa large drops of i water over his bronzed face. Brady per-' i milted tbe indulgence for a moment, whilst he led the horse into a thicket ; close at hand and tied him. When he i returned Gray had sunk to tho earth and i great tremulous convulsions writhed over j him. Brady quietly touched bim upon i the shoulder and said, "Come." He at i once arose, and had gone but a few yards J until every trace of emotion bad appa* ' rently vanished. He WM no longer the f bereaved husband ami father-be was { the sturdy, well-trained hunter, whose < ear and eye were acutely alive to every j sight or sound, the waving of a leaf or ( tho crackling of the smallent twig. . TTn dAS?i-ftd auy prYw??A directly towr.rd i the house, but Brady objected to this, and 1 they passed down toward the ricer bank, t As they proceeded, they saw from the c tracks of horses and moccasin prints upon < the places where , the earth was moist, I that the party ?vas a numerous ono. i After thoroughly examining every cover t sod possible place of concealment, they I Ssa cd ou to tbe southward and. came i ck in that direction So tho spot tfbe?e' r Bevington stood sentry. When they ? reached him they found that Biggs iud 11 il.Il.I.?I??!?.???ll. not returned. In a few- minutes be came. He reported that tbo trail was largo and broad ; tbo Indians hod taken no pains to conceal their tracks-they ?imply bad struck back into tho country so as to avoid coming io contact with the spies whom they suppoiod to bo lin gering along tho river. The whola four went flown to tbe cab in and carefully examined tho minn. After a long aud minute search, Bra dy declared in au authoritative manner that none of the inmates had been con sumed. This annouueemeut at once dis I pellcd tho most harrowing fears of C?ray. As soon as all that could bo discovered liad been ascertained, each one of the party proposed some course of action. Ono desired to go to Pittsburg and ob tain assistance-another thought it beat to return to McIntosh aud get some vol unteers there-Brady listened patiently to both these propositions, but aroso quickly, after talking a moment apart witb Biggs, and said, "Come." Gray and Bevington oboyed at once, nor did Biggs object. Brady struck thc trail and began pursuit in that tremen dous rapid manner for which he was to famous. It was evident that if the sav ages were overtaken, it could only bo done by the utmost exertion. They were sonic hours ahead, and from the number of their horses must bo nearly all moun ted. Brady felt that if they were not overtaken that night, pursuit would he utterly futile. It was evident that this band bad beeu south of tho Ohio und pluudcrod tho homes of other settlers. They had pounced upon thc family of t? ray upon their return. When tim pursuit began, it must have been two o'clock. At least two hours had been consumed by tho spies in mak ing the necessary exploration about the house, ero they approached it, and ex amined the ruins. Not a word was spoken upou the route by atty oue. Their leader kept steadily in advance. Occasionally be would diverge from the track, but only to take it up again a mile orso in advance. The Cap tain's intimate knowledge of the topog raphy of the country, enabled him to anticipate what points they would make. Thus be gaineu rapidly upon thom hy firoceeding moro nearly in a straight ?ne toward the point nt which they aimed to cross Beaver Uiver. At Inst, convinced from the general direction in which thc trail led, that he could divine,with absolute certainty, tho spot where they would ford that stream, bc abandoned at and i truck boldly arru: a the couutry. Tho accuracy of his judg ment was vindicated by tho factt that from an elevated crest of a long lino of hills, he saw the Indians, with their vic tims, just disappearing up a ravine on tho opposite side of the Ii.wer. He counted them as they slowly filed away under the mys of thc declining sun. There wore thirteen warriors, eight of whom were mounted-another woman, besides Gray's wife was in the cavalcade, and two children besides his-in all, five child ren. Tho odds seemed fearful to Biggs nnd Bovington ; although Brady made no comments. The moment they " hud passed out of sight, Brady again pushed forward with unflagging energy, nor did his followers hesitate There was not a man among them whoso muscles were not tonse and rigid as a whip-cord, from exercise and training, from hardship and exposure. Gray's whole form seemed to dilato into twice its natural size at tho sight of his wifo and children. Terrible was the vengeance be swore. Just as the sun set, tbe spies forded tho stream and began to ascend tho ravine. It was evident that the Indians intended to camp for tho night scmo distanco up a small creek or run, which debouches into Beaver River, about three miles from the location of Fort McIntosh, aud two below the ravi no. The Bpot, owing to tho peninsular form of the tongue of lr uti ly ing west of the Beaver, at which they expected to encamp, wns full ten milea from that fort. Here there was a famous spring BO deftly and cunningly situated in a deep dell, and so densely inclosed with thick mountain nines, that there was little danger of discovery I Even thoy might light a firo and it could not be seon one hundred yards. Thc proceedings of their leader, which would bave been totally inexplicable ta all othors. were partially, ir not fully understood, by his followers. At least they did not besitato or question him. When dark came Brady pushed forward with as much apparent certainty at he had done during the day. So rapid was hi.i progress, that the Indian! had hut just kindled their fire and cooked their meal, when their UH;, tal foe, whose presence they dreaded as much as that oi the small-pox, stood upon a hugo rock looking down upon them. His party had been left a short dis tance in tho rear, at a convenient spot, whilst bo y/cnt forward to reconnoitre. There they remained impatiently foi th reo mortal hours? They discussed, in low tones, thc extreme disparity of thc force--the propriety of going to get as sistance. But all agreed that if Brad) ordered thom to attack success was cor tain. However Impatient they were, ht rc turned at last, He described to them how the womec and childror Cl$ within' tho centre of c cresent formel by the savages as thev slept. Their guns were stacked upon tho right, and most of their tomahawks The arms were not more that fifteen feel from them.. He had crawled within fifty feet of thom, whon the snor ting* of the horses, occasioned by tho approach of a wild beast, bac aroused a number of tho savage: from their , light slut -.bera, and he hue been compelled to lie quiet for more thar an hour, until they slept again. He then told thom that ho would attaci them. It waslmpossible to use fire arms Tliey much depend solely Upon the tnift and tomahctcJ: The knife must tx placed in the left band sad tho toma hawk iu the right. To Biggs he assigned the duty of securing their arms. Ho was lc begin tho work of slaughter upon the right? Gray upon tho left, and Bevington ia the contre. After each fairly understood the duty as signed him, the slow, difficult, hazardoui approach began. They continued upon their feet until they hod gotten within ono hundred yards of the foe, and ther lay down upon their bellies and began the work or writhing themselves forward like a serpent approaching k victim They atlast reached the very verge ol the lino, each man was at his post, save Bigga, who bad the farthest to go. Josi as he passed Brady's position, a twig cracked roughly under tba weight of bia body, and a hugo savage, who lay within tho reach of Gray's tomahawk, slowly sal up as if startled into this posture by tho sound. After rolling his eyes, he again lay down and ali was still. Full fifteen minutes passed ere Biggs moved ; then he slowly went on. When he reached his place, a very low, biasing sound indicated that be was ready, Brady In turn reiterated the sound os a signal to Gray and Bevington to begin. This they did in the most deliberate manner. Nb nervousness was permissible then. They slowly felt for the heart of each tavage they were to stab, and then plunged he knife. The tomahawk was not to ba ?sed unless the knife proved inefficient STot a sound broke the stillness of the light as thoy cautiously felt and stabbed, iriless it might be that one who was feei ng n??i? near tho siroko of the others cnifb and the groan of the victim whjm he other had ?Tain. Thus the work pro ceeded. Six of the savages wera slain. )ne of them bod not been killed outright >y the stab of Gray. He sprang to iii? ect, but as be arose to shout his war cry', he tomahawk finished what tbs knife jad begun. He ataggered r ?d fell heavily brwatd, over one who aaa not yet been ??ched. He in turn started up, but indy was too quick, his knife reached ii? heart and Che tomt-bawk hi? brain almost Rt the same Instant. All wero slain by tho three ?pie*, ex cept one. lie surfed (o flee, but a rifle shot by Higgs rang merrily out upon tb? night air and closed bis career. Tho women and children, ularajed by the con trat, fled wildly to tpo w??d ; but when all had grown still and they were called, they returned, recognizing amid their fright thc toucs of their own people. The whole party took up their march for McIntosh at once. Abc.t sunrise next morning thc sentries of tho fort were surpriser! to seo the cavalcade of horses, men, women and children, ap proaching the fort. When they -cog nized Brady, they at once admitted him and Ihr whole party. In Ute relation ol the circumstances afterwards Bevington claimed to have killed three. Thus Brady, who claimed nothing, must have slain at bast six, whilst the other two slew as many. The thirteenth, Biggs shot. From that hour to this, the -pring is called the "Bloody Springs !" arid the small run is called ''Brady's i.un." Few even of thc most curious of tho teople living in tho neighborhood now aught of the circumstances which conferred these names, which will be preserved bv Lradltion forever. Thus ended one of the very many band to baud fights which uie great spy had with the savage?. His history is fuller of daring incident, sanguinary, close, hard contest, perilous exploration and adventurous es cape?, than that of either of tho Hetzels, of Boone or Kenton. He saw moro ser vice than any of them, and his name was known as a byeword of terror among the Indian tribes, from the ritis'iuehnnna to Luke Michigan.
