Lynchburg Vir. Aug 7. By this morning's mail we have received through the medium of the Western Sun, (6th of July) interesting ac counts relative to Indian affairs On the 2d of July a militia officer with ten men arrived at Vincennes I T from Kaskaskia with dispatches from Gover. nor Edwards for Govenor Harrison, and also for the secretary of war to be put into the Post Office at that place, The information brought by that command is very unpleasant. And it is feared that a rupture with the Indians cannot be avoided. The most distressing news is as the account of the murder of three whole families on the frontiers of Randolph County, in the Illinois. A considerable portion of the militia are designated and commanded to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning. On Monday last a duel was fought at Taconic, on the confines of Connecticut Massachusetts and New-York, between Mr. Henry Armstrong. (second son of General Armsrong) and Mr. Benjaman Price of this city. Two shots were exchanged without effect, at the 3d fire Mr. A received his antagonists'ball in the side which struck his rib, and fell to the ground. The wound is not dangerous They fought at eight paces. The cause of the duel is said to be a trifling quarrel which took place at a ball at Col;' De Veausis, at Rhine beck. Died.

May 20th, 1811. OR, WEEKLY THE VISITOR. After having successively adopted and rejected every means that occurred to my imagination, I was forced to confess to myselfthat the task I wished to undertake was impracticable. I could not stir a step without being closely watched; there was not the least of my actions but what the Abbess was accurately informed of in all its details; and I was but too well assured, if I attempted to send a letter to any one it would be opened and read before it was suffered to be taken from the Convent. I was interdicted from appearing in the hall, or mingling with the rest of the Nuns. A still stronger motive than all these I have mentionad, determined me to forego the plan I had conceived; it was, that if I rendered myself suspected by a degree of zeal, the ultimate success of which could not but be doudtful, the Abbess would no longer entrust me with the care and superintendence of Virginia. This idea alone made me shudder. [NO. 18. No! I exclaimed, dear and unfortunate friend, no, I will not run the risk of depriving you of the only consolation which Heaven permits you to enjoy." "The next day Virginia did not meet me as usual at the foot of the staircase of the subterraneous vault. Anxious with regard to her health, and apprehensive that she might be in want of assist nce, 1 hastened to her gloomy chamber; but words cannot express the surprise and terror with which I was seized, when I perceived she was not there.-Virginia.' I exc aimed in a state bordering on distraction, Virginia! ungrateful Virginia! is it thus you have repaid my confidence?— Gracious Heaven what has become of her!' I added, sympathizing in her destiny. Suddenly a dreadful idea petrified me with fear. "If the Abbess, informed of the alleviations I have procured to my unfortunate prisoner, has conveyed her away in order to plunge her in some other dungeon I could not support so horrid a supposition, and rushing towarde the subterraneous gallery, I traversed every part of it. I already felt my limbs sink under mes and was bedewed with a cold in the entrance of the passage; sweat, when I perceived Virgi-she perceived that the cold air, nia; she appeared to come from which still blew towards her, proone of the angels that terminated ceeded through a crevice of the the gallery. rock adjoining the wall. One of her tapers were extinguished; she immediately lighted it again, but the reflection of both was so feeble: that she almost dreaded to advance farther: however the hope of finding an issue towards the 'Marcella,' said she, seizing my hand with a degree of ardour that surprised me, dear Marcella, I have just beheld the light of Heaven!-Liberty-yes, I believe that liberty, dear liberty, is not ravished from me for ever!-Eu-country restored her courage. She genio! Eugenio!' added she, with transport; then leading me with more than ordinary emotion to her chamber, she informed me, as distinctly as the agitation of her feelings would allow her, that after she had been walking for several hours in the subterraneous gallery, the fatigue produced by the exercise induced her to sit herself down by the wall which terminated the vault. While she leant against one of the angles, she felt that the stones yielded to her weight; surprised at this phænomenon, she rose, and endeavoured to shake a huge mass, which, soon giving way left a wide aperture, through which the cold air suddenly rushed upon her. Plunged in the most profound obscurity she was unable to distinguish the extent of the vacuity she had affected, and returned to her chamber, from whence she brought two tapers. in order to examine it with more attention. She soon distinguished a narrow and oblique passage, the extent of which she was. however, unable to explore. She ventured over the ruins, and found herself continued her way, and observed, with surprise and pleasure, that the passage widened as she proceeded. A few minutes after, a hollow noise struck her astonished ears; she stopped to listen, and distinctly heard the murmur of a cascade. Recollecting that she had observed several in the neighbourhood of the Convent, she deubted not that the path she was exploring would conduct her to the rocks; and her heart beat with violence at the flattering idea. She aiready thought she had reached the extremity of the passage, when a sudden gust of wind extinguished both her tapers, and she was plunged in darkness, save the faint glimmering light that proceeded through the opening. Her terror then became extremè, and she remained for some time immoveable, neither daring to advance or to return; she determined upon the latter step as the least, dangerous of the two, and she had with difficulty regained the gallery at the moment when I was tortured with such cruel anxieties for her safety. |
