IWayth's selection of the two men limned was a judicious one. Still well I afterwards knew well, having employed him as scout with my command for a long period. At the time referred to, however, he was a mere beardless boy of perhaps nineteen years, possessing a trim, little figure, which was set off to great advantage by the jaunty suit of buckskin which lie wore, cut and fringed according to the true style of the frontiersman. In his waist-belt he carried a large-sized revolver and a bunting knife. These, witli his rifle, constituted his equipment. A capital shot whether afoot or on horseback, and a perfect horseman, this beardless boy on more than one occasion proved himself a dangerous foe to the wily red man.

NUGENT, INTEREST PAID On the morning of September 25, the sun rose upon Forsyth and his famished party with unusual splendor, and the bright Colors of the morning horizon seemed like a rainbow of promise to their weary, longiDg spirits. Hope, grown taint with long waiting, gathered renewed strength from the brightness of nature. The solitary plain receding in all directions possessed a deeper interest than ever before, though it- still showed no signs of life and presented the same monotonous expanse upon which the* heroic band had gazed for so many trying days. Across the dim and indefinable distance which swept in all directions the eye oftan wandered and wondered what might be the revelation of the next moment. Suddenly several dark figures appeared faintly on the horizon. The objects wore moving. The question uppermost in the minds of all was, are they savages or messengers of relief ? As on such occasions of anxiety and suspense time wore heavily, minutes seemed like hours, yet cach moment brought the sufferers nearer the realization whether this was their doom or their escape therefore). Over an hour had elapsed since the objects first came in sight, and yet 'the mystery remained unsolved. Slowly but surely they developed themselves, until finally they had approached sufficiently near x'or their character as friends or foes to be unmistakeably established. To the joy of the weary "watchers, the parties approaching proved to be troops; relief was at hand, the dangers and anxieties of the past few days were ended, and death either by starvation or torture at the hands of the savages no longer stared them in the face. The strong set up a shout such as men seldom niter. It was the unburdening of the heart of the weight of despair. The wounded lifted their fevered forms and fixed their glaring eye3 upon the now rapidly approaching succor, and in their delirium involuntarily but feebly reiterated the acclamations of their comrades. id main street CAPITAL - - $300,000.

A3 the result of a thorough canvass these agents succeeded iu collecting at Naples nearly three hundred emigrants, principally en route for Buenos Ayres. So enraptured were the peasantry that they sold or mortgaged their cottages and small gardens to procure the passage money to a land in which they had been led to* expect to find fortunes awaiting their arrival. They parted with their trieuds in the happiest manner, aud those residing in regions apart from the thoroughfares of tra^l' feet out with their iamilies od foot, and thus oceomplished the entire journey to Naple*.

They did not attempt to charge the island as they had done the previous day. when their attempts in this direction had cost them too dearly, but they were none the less determined and eager to overpower the little band which had been the cause of such heavy loss to them already. The scouts, thanks to efforts during the night, were now well protected, and suffered but little from the fire of the Indians, while the latter, being more exposed, paid the penalty whenever offordiug the scouts a chance with their rides. The day was spent without any decided demonstration on the part of the red men, except to keep up as constant a tire as possible on the scouts, and to endeavor to provoke the latter to reply as oiten as possible, the object, no doubt, being to induce the frontiersmen to exhaust their supply of ammunition. But they were not to be led into this trap ; each cartridge they estimated as worth to them one Indian, and nothing less would satisfy them. W.

The troops arriving for their relief were a detachment from Fort Wallace, under the command of Colonel Carpenter of the regular cavalry, and had started from the fort promptly upon the arrival of Trudeau and Stillwell with intelligence of the condition and peril iD which Forsyth and his party were. When Colonel Carpenter and his men reached the island they fonnd its defenders in a most pitiable condition, yet the survivors were determined to be plucky to the last. Forsjth himself, with rather indifferent success, affected to be reading an old novel that he had discovered in a saddlebag; but, Colonel Carpenter said his voice was a little unsteady and his eyes somew hat dim when he held ont his hand to Carpenter and bade him welcome to "Beecher's Island,"a name that has since been given to the battle ground. pBICK YARD.

On the night of the 18tli two raore men were selected to proceed to Fort Wallace, as it was not known whether Trudeau and Stillwell had made their way safely through the Indian linc6 or not. The last two selected however, failed to elude the watchful eyes of the Indians, and were driven back to the island. This placed a gloomy look upon the probable fate of Trudeau and Stillwell, and left the little garrison in anxious doubt not only as to the safety of the two daring messengers, but as to their own final relief. On the morning of the 19th the Indians promptly renewed the conflict, but with less energy, than before. They evidently did not desire or intend to come to close quarters again with their less numerous but more determined antagonists, but aimed as on the previous day to provoke a harmless fire irom the scouts, and then, after axhausting their ammunition in this manner, overwhelm them by mass of numbers, and finish them with toma hawk and scalping knife. This style of tactics did not operate as desired. There is but little doubt that some of the Indians who had participated in the massacre of Fetterman and his party a few montns before, when three officers and ninety one men were killed outright, were also present and took part in the attack upon Forsyth and his party; and they must have been not a little surprised to witness the stubborn defence offered by this little party, which, even at the beginning, numbered but little over 50 men. r "be* Orders received at Messrs.

He seemed an honest man, and in two days we had made up our mind to pay him a large fee and learn the strange art, with the privilege of using it to cure whomsoever we would. The scene in the large hull of tho Garden was a strange one. Gathered around the two large stoves, which, heated to redness, gaVe a cheerful glow to the otherwise dismal quarter, where (hese wretehed Italian emigrants who, stretched upon the floor or seated upon the rude benches, appeared perfectly indifferent as to the future. While this was true of the great majority, several cases were noticed which were extremely ■sad. Most prominent among the group was an- agel father with a large family who clung to him for encouragement, and besought him for some explanation —to tell them why they did not leave such cheerless quurters and seek that beautiful country which they had beard so much about. His agony appeared too terrible, and he neither shed tears nor offered to his wife or children any words of cheer.

HATS AND CAPS, Office at HOSIERY, SHOES, o ri a of 3 We give below the conclusion of General Custer's graphic description of an heroic defence against an Indian attack : The Indians still kept up a continuous fire from their dismounted warriors; but as the scouts by this time were well covered by their miniature earthworks, it Jul little execution. At two o'clock in the afternoon the savages again attempted to carry the island by a mounted charge, and again at sunset; but having been deprived of their best and most fearless leader by the fall of Roman Nose, they were not so daring or impulsive as in the fir«t charge, and were both times twice repulsed with heavy losses. At dark they ceased firing, and withdrew their forces for the night. This gave the little garrison on the island an opportunity to take a breathing spell, and Forsyth to review the situation and sum up how he had fared. The result was not consoling. His trusted Lieutenant Beecher was lying dead by his side; his surgeon, Movers, was mortally wounded; two of his men killed, four mortally wounded, lour severely, and ten slightly. Here, out of a total of fifty-one,were twenty-three killed and wounded. His own condition, his right thigh fearfully lacerated, and his left leg badly broken, only rendered the other discouraging circumstances doubly so. As before stated, the Indians had killed all of his horses early in the fight. His supplies were exhausted, and there was no way of dressing the wounds ot himself or comrades, as the medical stores were captured by the Indians. He was about one hundred and ten miles from the nearest post, and savages were all around him. The outlook could scarcely have been less cheering. But Forsyth's disposition and pluck inclined him to speculate more upon that which is or may be gained, than to repine at that which is irrevocably lost. This predominant trait in his character now came in good play. Instead of wasting time in vain regrets over the ad vantages gained by hiseremies he quietly s«t about looking up the ohances in his favor. And, let the subject b* what it may, I will match " Sandy" "against an equal number'' for making & favorable showing of the side which he expouses or advocates. To his credit account he congratulatad himself and comrades, first upon the fact that they had beaten olf their foes ; second, water could be had inside their intreuchments by digging down a few feet below the surface ; then for food "horse and mule meat," to use Sandy's expression, " was lying round loose in any quantity," and last, but most important of all, he had plenty of ammu- Upon these circumstances and tacts I orgyth built high hopes of successfully contending against any renewed as saulta of the savages.

They are usually sent to a placo of safety until the result of the contest is known, but in this instance, with the overwhelming numbers of the savages and the recollection of the massacre of Fetterman and his party, there seemed to the Indians to be but one result to be expected, and that a complete, perhaps a bloodless victory for them; and the women and children were permitted to gather as witnesses of their triumph, and perhaps at the close would be allowed to take part by torturing those of the white men who should be taken alive. The withdrawal of the women and children wa* regarded as a favorable bign by the scouts. :on.Nov Machinery generally 'It 1SG7, Odd Fellows' Block.

Many are without any boggage, this having been sent fiom Havre direct to Buenus Ay res by sailing vessel. Friendless and without money, they have apparently determined to remain where they are until something is done for them. They are evidently convinced that they have already done too mucti in the hope of improving their lot. The Emmigration Commissioners have furassist them with provisions during the past two days, but are unable to protect them against the chilliness of tho weather. The women and children, who are unaccustomed to weather as severe even as the present, are suffering greatly. Superintendent Casserly of Cnstle Garden has written to tho Italiau Embassador at Washington, lias informed the Consul in this city, and has made application to Dr. Cecearini of the Health Board for the empljyment of a portion of the men. If no other provision is made for these destitute emigrants they will be sent in a few days to Ward's Island, and be maintained at the expense of the city. The Commissioners are naturally very anxious regarding the result.—JV*. 1". Paper. Apr, gg. 1870. And now we propose to give the readers of this journal a simple art which has enabled us to make very happy many unhappy stammerers. Id our own hands it has often failed to effect the desired result, but in three-fourths of the cases which we have treated the cure has been complete. The secret is simply this : The stammerer is made to mark the time in his speech, just as it is ordinarily done in singing. He is at first to beat on every syllable. It is best at the first lesson to read some simple composition, like one of David's striking the finger on tho knee at every word, then read iu a newspaper, beating each syllable.SEAMAN & CO., of all kinds, auch as he naa supplied his customers with for many years, and added greatly to the capacity of his establishment, to meet his increasing trade He is now, betler than ever before, able to do all for any customer that low prices and prompt service can do to make up an inducement for purchasing.

As thousands have paid fifty and a hundred for this secret, we take great pleasure in imparting it to the patrons of this journal. Failures in Society. PITTSTON, Pa. An article wiiich has no superior. Society is full of failures that need never have been made ; full of men who have never succeeded ; .'full of women who in the first half of their dnys did nothing but eat and sleep and simper, and in the last half have done nothing but perpetuate their follies and weaknesses. The world is full, I say, of such people ; full of men in every trade and profession, who do not amount to anything ; and I do not speak irreverently, and I trust not without due charily, without making due allowance for the inevitable in life, when I say that God and thoughtful men are weary of their presence. Every boy ought to improve on his father; every girl grow into a nobler, gentler, more self-denying womanhood than the mother. No reproduction of former type will give the world the perfect type. I know not where the Millennium is, as measured by distance of time, but I do know, and so do you, that it is a great way off as measured by human growth and expansion. We have no such men and womeu yet, no age Las ever had any, as shall stand on the earth in that age of pcace that will not come until men are worthy of it.—Bop. W. H. Murray. March 9. 1871-ly DEALER 121 The well men, relieved of the constant watching and fighting, were now able to give some attention to the wounded. Iheir injuries which had grown very painful, were rudely dressed. Soup was made out of horse flesh, and shelters were constructed protecting them from the heat damp and wind. On the sixth day the wounds of the men began to'exhibit more decided and alarming signs of neglect. Maggots infested them, and the first traces of gangrene had set in. To multiply the discomforts of the situation, the entire party was almost overpowered by the intolerable stench created by the decomposing bodies of the dead horses. Their supply was nearly exhausted. Under these trying circumstances Forsyth assembled his men. He told them " they knew their situation as well as he. There were those who were helpless, but aid must not be expected too soon. It might be difficult for the messengers to reach the fort, or there might be some delay by their losing thsir way. Those who wished to go should do so, and leave the rest to take their chances." With one voice they resolved to stay, and, if all hope vanished, to die together. The Stohm.—The late storm in the North of Europe was frightful in its ravages upon the coast of Denmark and Prussia. The Prussian fortified town of Stralsund was considerably damaged by inundation, ind reports eighty vessels wrecked. The Island of Kugen, jus opposite, had its fishing-boats destroyed aud its fields flooded. The little Islands of Zingst, Darr, and Hiddensee lost all their fishing-smacks, and had thenhomes damaged by high water, while half the town of Praotto was prostrated by the wind, and the small Island of Botoe, with all it* inhabitant, was eompletely submerged. piTTSTON DYE HOUSE, (ITYOMIXti FIRK IKSlRAJiCE CO. ?T WILKJES-BAKKE, PEN.NA.

It was a perilous mission, and called for the display of intrepid daring, and judgment, aud unflinching resolution, besides a thorough knowledge of the country, as much of their journey would necessarily be made during the darkness of night, to avoid discovery by wandering bands of Indians, who, no doubt, would be on the alert to interrupt just such OWAN HOTEL, PITTStON, PA. undersigned lias lately purcfased the HoDperty kuown aa the Swan Hotel, in the ;lj of Pitifton, and is now prepared to meei ,„manils of the public for a first class Hotel Sept. 3u,'69-1 y.
