ton,” anew work, by (itoif^c V>. 1’ (Jiistis.
It was in 177‘.J, thatCul. W.r-hin^ton,
accom|janied by Dr. James ^'raik, and a
(ionsiderahle party of hunters, woods
men, and others, prooepcled to the Ken-
hawa with a vie\v to ♦=‘!ipIoie the euuntry,
and make surveys ot extensive and val
uable bodies oi lands. At th:;t time oi
day, the Kenhawa was several hundred
miles- remote Ironi tluj Irontier settle
ments, and only accessible by Indian
paths, whicji wound tfirough the passes
of the mountains.
In those wild and unfrequented regions,
The party formed a camp on the harik of
the river, consisting ot rudely coiistruo-
ted wijrwams or slielters, from which
the^' issued to explore and survey those
alluvial tracts, now forming the most
fertile and best inhabited parts of the
west of Virginia.
This ronjantic camj), thounjh far re
moved from the homo of civilization,
possessed very many advantages. The
great abundance of various kinds of
^ame, in its vicinity, allbrded a sumptu
ous larder, while a few luxuries offoreisi;n
‘growth, which had been brnui^ht on the
baggai:;e horses, made the adveMlurers
as comfortable as they could reasonably
desire.
One day, when resting; in camp from
the futigjues attendant on so arduous an
enlerpn:'o, a jjjrty of Indians led by a
trader, were tliscovered. No recourse
v^as had to r\ruis, for peace in c;reat meas
ure reiLVitJil the f'ontiers , the bonier
warfare which so lone: i>ad l-.ariasseii the
unhappy settlers, had principnlly subsid
ed; tiie >b'.n’ap‘driven f:>rth(?r and frirther
back, as the settlements advanced, had
suflieiently felt the power of the wlutcs,
to view them with tear, as wcl! as hate;
again, the aj)proaoh of this p:i?'ty was a-
ry tiling but liostde, and Utr appearance
vf the trader, a being half savage, hail
civilized, made it ciTiain tiiat tiie mis.
sion was rather of peaoi than war.
They haltcl at a shcit diatance, atul
the inierpreter aJvancinsj, tleclartd that
he was condncti:)?: a party, which con
sisted of a Grand Sacliem, ant! some at
tendant warriors ; tl.at the Chief was a
very great man among the Northwes
tern tribes, and the same Avho coininand-
ed the Indians on the fall of Hraddock,
sixteen years before ; that hearir’.si of the
visit of Col. Washington to the \\'cstern
country', this Chief had set otit on a
missitui, the ofjjcct of w!i:oh, I'.imscll
would, make known.
Tlie Colonel received the Ambassa
dor with courtesy, and having put mat
ters in camp iu the best possible order
for the reception of such di.^tinguished
visitors, which so short a notice would
allow, the strangers were introduced.—
Among the Colonists were some line,
tall and manly figures, but so soon as the
Sachem a[)proached, he in a moment
pointed out the Hero of the Mononira-
hela, from amid the gj^jupe, althougli
sixteen years had elapsed since he h.id
seen him, and then onl> in the tumuit
and fury of battle. 'The Indian was of
a lofty stature, and of a dignitiml and
imposing appearance.
The usual salutations wore going
round, when it was observed, that the
Cirand Chief, although portVctly familiar
with every other one present, prescrvoil
toward Col. Washington the ninxt rev
erential deference ; it was in vain that
the Colonel extended his hand ; the In
dian flrev/ tjack, with the most irnpres
sivc u.nrks of awe and respect. A last
tHbrt was made to induce an intercourse,
by resorting to the, deity of the savages,

tasted, oll'ered to his guest ; the Imiian
Ijowed ills iieatl in sub!uis>ion, but wet

slaughter of the Cyclops, atid the rlcrr,.

twenty-five feet, about two-thirds of th,j
measure of the church of St. i’eter's at

was still more inferior to that suhlmic

an intermixture. orks ot reasoning
and imagination, of judgment and of fan
cy associate together. Like the sea
sons of the year, they aflord agreeable
variety. Severe and continued appl-i-
calion tries tho most gigantic intellect.
I'he faculties of the mind, however,
should not be sufiered to remain dor
mant, for they gain vigour and maturi
ty bv exercise. Prejudice of every
kind throw aside, they grievously wrap
the understanding, and sorely blast the
judgment. Proteus-like, error assumes
multifarious forms ; ami it is the scho
lar’s province tosti ip away its disguise.
Bacon terms intjuiry after truth, the
w'ooing of the kuow’ledg(‘ of truth, the
liresenee of it and the^ influential belief
of truth, the cnjoymefit of it. Creduli

every thing throw'n into it.
V^ Let a judicious friend recommenil
the books you reail. The sages oi an
tiquity deemed a great book—a great
evil. The numerous volumes that meet
us in the walks of theology, poetry,
criticism, and moral philosophy, alhird
?ni])le scope to the guidance of an able
and enlightened friend. I’egard the
quality rather than the quantity of what
you peruse; it has been ingeniously ob
served, were quantity alone the esti
mate of impro\ement, subci ibesrs to a
circulating library should be as wise as
Socrates, and as accomplished as Julius
Ciesar.

a desultoriness of genius, are inimical
to sound improvement. 'I'he jioels, or
ators, and historians of former ages,
were enamoured of a close study, and
inured to profound investigations.—
Homer and 'Vhucydides, Pluto and A-

Locke, and Nev/ton, the four pillars
which are said to support the monument
of British genius, were all severely
studious, and adhered with increased
steadiness to the pursuit of knowledge.
When the Romans took Syracuse, Ar
chimedes was so deeply engaged solv
ing a problem, that he was ignorant of
the enemy being in possession of the
town'; and a soldier, not knowing who
he was, killed him, because he refused
to follow him. An emperor once asked

of hf r works. You say that nature is
black, ami to prove it, you ha\-e collect-
on your canvass all the animals of this
hue that exist ; but you liave hu'gol to

orate.s the animal s[)irits, ami oppresses
the nerves. I\,xcessive apjdication giv’es
birth to .strange eoi'sequeiices. One
learned man supposes the Divine being
had deprived him cf his rational sotii,
when at tin; same time he wrote a mas-

jiressed this whim in his iledication lo
