The murder of Jaue, McCrea . has been a theme which eloquence and sen sibility havealike contributed to digni fy, and which has' kindled in many a breast the emotions of a responsive sympathy. Gen. Gates's descrintion. in his letter to Bursovne altboiieh more ornate than forcible and abounding more in bad taste than simnhcitv or Dathos. was suited to the feelings of the moment, and product'! a lively impression in every part oH America; and the glow ing language of Burke, in one of his most celebrated speeches in the British Parliament, made the story of Jane McCrea familiar to world. the European I I This yourig lady was the daughter of! a clerevman .who dipd.in New IprcAv 1 hr.fnrP thP R-vnlnfM.: .fW h.r fnl, J ' ' ' " I""" SV AtsVASA- er'sdt ath she sought a home in the house of her Lrother: a respectable cen- tleman residing on the western bank of a w Hudson's River, about four miles below Fort Edward. , Here she formed an in timacy with a young man named Da vid Jones, to whom it was understood she was engaged to be married. When the war broke out, Jones took the side ot the royalists, went to Canada, receiv ed a commission, and was a captain or Lieutenant among the provincials in Durgoyne's army. . , Fort Edward-was situated ou the eastern margin of Hudson's River with in a few yards of the water, and sur- rounaea oya piam 01 considerable ex tent, which was cleared of wood and I cultivated. On the road leading to the north, and near the foot of the hill about one third of a mile from the fort, stood a house occupied by Mrs.-McNeil, a wid ow lady and an acquaintance of Miss T.IcCrea, with whom she was staying as a visitor at the time the American ar my was in that neighborhood. The side of the hill was covered with a growui 01 ousnes, and on its top, a quartefofa mile from the house, stood I a large pine tree, near the root of which gushed out a perennial spring of water, A guard of one hundred men had been left at the fort and a picket under Lieut, Van Vechten was stationed in the woods a little beyond the pine tree; y - Early one morning this picket guard was ai.acked by a party of Indians, rushing through the woods from ; differ ent points at the -same moment, and rendinpr the air with hideous veils. Lieut. Van Vechten and five other were killcd and scalped, and four were woun ded. Samuel guard,' whose Staindish, one 6f the post was near the pine tree, discharged his musket at the first Indian he saw, and ran down the hill towards tne lort: but he had no sooner reached -.: 0 Lai plain, than three Indians I pursued him, cut off his re- I r:.l wcunded him in the foot. 'One , of . thena rpranj 1 poa him, threw him to the ground, piuioned Iiis arms, and then pushed him violently forward up the hill. ' He naturally made as much haste - - 1 as he could, apd a short time they came 10 tns spring, where several Indians! were assembled. , ' . Here Standish was left to himself, at a little distance, from the spring and pine tree, expecting every moment ' to tliare the fate of his comrades whose c-zl;s were conspiciously displayed.

A messenger was des paicnea to convey me amicting intelli- j . ? o gence to her brother, who arrived soon afterwards, took charge of his sister's remains and had them interred on the east side ot the river about ' three miles below the fort. The body of Lieuten ant Van Vechten was barried at the same time and on the same spot. ' . ' History has preserved the facts bv which we can at this day, ascertain the reason, wny mis Mcorea should re main as she did in so exposed and un protected a situation, She had been re minded of her danger by the people at the fort. , Tradition relates, however, and with seeming truth, that through some, medium of communication she had promised her. lover, probably by his advice, to remain in this place, un til the approach of the British troops should afford her an opportunity, to join him in company with her hostess and friend. It is said, that, when they saw the Indians coming to the house, they were ai.nrst ingntenea, and attempted to escape! but, as the Indians had made signs of pacific intention,; and one of mem neia up a letter -intimating 'that it was to tie opened, tneir lea. s were calm- d and the letter was read. It was irom Jones, and contained a .request tnat tney would put themselves under the charge of the Indians whom he ad se,lt tor the purpose, an : who would guard them m safety - to the British camp. Unfortunately two separate par- ties oflndians, or at least two chiefs actlllff UldeDendentlv of each Other, had united hi this enternrise. r.nmhinintr tvitK ' " ' I 9 " I it an attack on the picket " guard. It is incredible that Jones should have known this part of the arrangement, or he would have foreseen the danger it ! threatened. Whetr the prize was in their hands, the - two' chiefs quarreled about the mode of dividing the reward they were to receive; and according to j me Indian rule ot settling disputes 111 the case of captives, one.of them in a wild fit of passion killed the victim and secured tlie scalp INor is it the least shocking . feature of the transactions, that the savage seemed not aware of the nature of his mission. V Uninformed as to the motive of his employer for ob taining the person of the lady, or not comprehending it, he regarded her in the light ot a prisoner, and supposed the scalp would be acceptable Let it be imagined what were the feelings of tne anxious lover,' waiting with joyful anticipation the arrival of his . intended bride, when this appalling proof of her death was presented to him,' The ii nocenf had suffered by.the hand of cru elty and violence, which he had uncon sciously armed : his most fondly cher ? a. a ished hopes were blasted, , and a sting was planted in nis soul, which time and forgetfulness never could eradicate.- His spirit wasf scathed and his heart broken. . He lived but a few years, a prey to his sad recollections, and "sunk into the grave under the burden of his grief, y' --.,:K-.ry 1 The remembrance of this melancholv tale is still cherished with a lively sym pathy by the people who dwell near the scene of its principal Incidents.

' , Baitimoee, July 20.- An accident oc curred at Burns' bridg-eT on the s Northern Central railway on , Friday "morning last, which resulted in the instant death of t wo men. . It appears that a man named Burns, who bad been employed on the road for number of years, with another, were on the track with a band-car, and had entered the bridge before they were aware of "the ap-1- proacn ot any train, not knowing that an extra train had been placed on the road.-r-They made no effort to get cl the car iq escspe, but tried to work it to the openin v limn. ins locomotive ranuponi them, and Burns' bead 'was entirely sever ed from h 13 bodjr whL"h w&s ulsur horribly mangled.; The body of the other was very triiieh "mutilated. ' 'it is said tbat the train which preceded the fatal 'one carried a red flag to give notice that another was com' trig. The bodies were buned on the hne of road, by the agent of the company.
