HUNTINGDON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
[JULY
remaining part of the year 1780 was spent in recruiting a company, when organized, they mustered 110 men, and were detached from the frontier service. In the year 1781, it was reported that a large body of Indians lay on the Cinimihone river, west branch of the Sus- quehannah. Col. Samuel Hunter, who was then in command, selected Capt. Peter Grove, Capt. William Campbell, Lieutenants Grove, Creamer, and Van Campen, to act as spies in discovering the location of the Indian forces, to ascertain their size, watch their movements, and to make report by sending in one of their number. They marched in the month of August, but made no discovery, On their return one evening about sun-setting, they discovered a smoke, which they at once concluded must proceed from an Indian camp. The number could not be determined; at all events, it was settled in council to give them battle that night. They were dressed and painted in Indian style. Each had a good rifle, tomahawk, and a long knife. It was a fine evening; all felt fit for action, and eager for the conflict. The appointed time came, and, with a silent and stealthy step, they reached the camp undiscovered. To their surprise, they found that the battle must be waged with about thirty Indian warriors. They kept their rank, and each man fought arm to arm; first used the tomahawk and knife, and then poured in their five shots-raised the warwhoop, and roused the whole par- ty with a loss of four killed and several wounded. It was a roving party that had long been a terror to the frontier settlers; they had killed and scalped two or three families, and plundered every house they had vi- sited.
In the spring 1782, Van Campen was sent with a party of 25 men, up the west branch of the Susquehan- nah river. On the morning of the 16th April, on Bald Eagle creek he met with 85 Indian warriors. A severe battle took place; 19 of his men were killed, himself and five taken prisoners. The day after the battle the Indians killed one of the prisoners for some trifling cause.
Van Campen and his fellow prisoners were marched through the Indian villages, some were adopted to make up the loss of those killed in the action. Van Campen passed through all their villages undiscovered; neither was it known that he had been a prisoner be- fore, and only effected his escape by killing the party, until he had been delivered up to the British at Fort Ni- agara. As soon as his name was made known it be- came public among the Indians. They immed iately demanded him of the British Officer, and offered a number of prisoners in exchange. The commander on the station sent forthwith an officer to examine him. He stated the facts to the officer concerning his killing the party of savages. The officer replied that his case was desperate. Van Campen observed that he consid- ered himself a prisoner of war to the British; that he thought they possessed more honor than to deliver him up to the Indians to be burnt at the stake; and in case they did, they might depend upon a retaliation in the life of one of their officers. The officer withdrew, but shortly returned and informed him that there remained no alternative for him to save his life, but to abandon the rebel cause and join the British standard. A farther inducement was offered that he should hold the same rank that he now possessed, in the British service. The answer of Van Campen was worthy the hero, and testified the heart of the patriot never quailed under the most trying circumstances. "No sir, no: my life belongs to my country; give me the stake, the tomahawk, or the scalping knife, before I will dishonor the character of an American officer.
In a few days, Van Campen was sent down the lake to Montreal, and there put in close confinement, with about 40 American officers. In the month of Septem- ber he was taken out of prison, with ten of the other officers, and sent to Quebec. From thence they were removed to the Isle of Orleans, on the St. Lawrence,
24 miles below the city. About the 1st of November' they were put on board a British vessel, which sailed to New York, where he was exchanged, and immediately returned to the service of his country.
On the 16th of November, 1783, he was finally dis- charged from the army of the United States, after a perilous service of a little more than 7 years.
Major Van Campen is still living, [at Danville, Liv- ingston Co. ] in green old age, in possession of his faculties, and enjoying, in common with his countrymen, the fruits of our free institutions, which have sprung into life since he mingled in the revolutionary contest. He is respected for his patriotism and bravery, and be- loved for the amiable qualities of his mind, by an ex- tensive circle of friends. Benevolent in his disposition his life, since the revolution, has been spent, not in hoarding up wealth for self gratification, but in alleviat- ing the distresses of the unfortunate, and extending the hand of charity to the wants of his fellow beings.

From the Commercial Herald. HUNTINGDON COUNTY, (PA.)
Messrs. Editors-Having understood that you had expressed a desire to publish in your valuable paper, "Sketches" of the natural history of the several coun- ties in Pennsylvania, I take the liberty of furnishing you with a brief notice of Huntingdon County. Though now rapidly growing into importance, through the in- strumentality of public improvements, and the conse- quent stimulous given to industry and enterprize, it is but a few years since it was denominated "the back woods;" and scenes of Indian massacre are yet fresh in the recollection of many of the inhabitants. Even its location, except as delineated on the maps, is yet but imperfectly known to strangers.
The general features of this section of country, like its pioneer settlers, are "rough and strong," occasional- ly presenting to the eye of the traveller views of terrific grandeur, partaking of the "sublime of nature's works." One of these presents itself in travelling westward im- mediately on passing the boundary" of Mifflin county, on "Drake's Hill," a part of Jack's mountain. The turnpike road is carried along the side of an awful pre- cipice, with "avalanches" of rock and rolling stone on each side, threatening to slip from beneath your feet, or overwhelm you from above, On this hill you catch a glimpse of Aughwick Valley, stretching southward. This, though not generally so fertile, is perhaps as large as any valley in the county. Here, about four miles south of Shirleysburg, stood "Bedford Furnace," the first one erected in Western Pennsylvania. It has long since fallen to ruins. The estate, formerly Ridgley & Cromwell's has changed owners, and a town has been laid out at the scite of the old furnace, called "Orbiso- nia," from the name of the present proprietor,* in which a post office, bearing the same title, has recently been established. The inexhaustible mines of iron ore, and never failing water power, at this place, are likely once more to make it "known to Fame." I'wo fur- naces have been lately built, and a forge is now being erected in the immediate neighborhood. The ore is chiefly prized for its peculiar adaptation to the ınanu- facture of castings. But to resume our travels.
At the foot of Drake's Hill, the mind of the traveller, especially if he has descended in a stage coach at half speed, feels greatly relieved, and the eye is greeted with a view of the river Juniata and the Pennsylvania Canal on the opposite side, built and excavated along the base of a mountain, bearing the same threatening aspect with the one he has passed. A little farther on you get along side of the canal at "Jack's," where it

crosses the river on a handsome covered aqueduct, but soon are obliged to leave it, and "take to the hills" again. There is nothing then to interest the traveller until you get near to Huntingdon, the county town, ex- cept an occasional peep at the river and canal, and some fine mountain scenery. The approach to the town is peculiarly beautiful. At about half a mile distance, the road cut through a valuable quarry of solid rock, ac- quires an elevation of some twenty or thirty feet above the canal, from which it is separated by a railing placed on a nearly perpendicular wall. On rounding the hill, the aqueduct across the mouth of Stone Creek-the town beyond, with its spires, gardens, and adjacent highly cultivated fields-the canal, river, and variegated "leafy world" on the surrounding hills burst at once on the enraptured vision! The "grave-yard hill," within the limits of the borough, covered with half-grown forest trees, is (strange to tell) an admired and much frequented spot by the living. The place was formerly called "Stone Town, " or "The Standing Stone, " from the circumstance of a stone some ten or twenty feet high, having been erected here by the Indians "time out of mind," on which hieroglyphics were inscribed, indicating to those who frequented the place, the course which the party of hunters preceding them had taken, their success in the chase, &c. Tradition relates that the original stone was destroyed or concealed by the Indians at the time of their expulsion by the white savages. Fragments of the stone erected in imitation thereof by the whites, are yet in the possession of some of the inhabitants, on which are inscribed the names of visiters, and dates as early as 1760. The town was in- judiciously laid out; no street or avenue along the river, narrow streets and without alleys, and as injudiciously selected, with regard to local advantages, for the seat of justice, when the organization of the county took place in 1787. Notwithstanding these disadvantages it is a wealthy and respectable place. In days of yore it was famous for its hospitality and sociability.
It was no uncommon occurrence to see the parson's lady lead down the contre-dance by the powdered me- chanic, to the melodious "Flowers of Edinburg." or "White Cockade." The inhabitants are not quite so "primitive" in their manners now. Wealth here, as elsewhere, has exercised its magic power, and the de- scendants of those who "some time back" in the pro- gress of gentility had no family intercourse, are now united in the bonds of matrimony and the old folks sit and chat, "cheek by jowl" with zeal, or affected com- placency.
Huntingdon for many years commanded the trade of the whole county. The progress of improvement has extended equal facilities to other portions, and of course, deprived it of much of its former sources of traffic. It is still the natural depot and outlet of the surplus pro- ducts of Wood-cock and Stone Vallies. The former a rich limestone soil, and though rather hilly, well adapt- ed to the culture of small grain. The direct public road to Bedford passes through it; the inhabitants are generally of German extraction. Stone Valley has heretofore chiefly been considered valuable for its for- ests of timber and the facility of transportation afforded by the creek which gives name to it. Though better calculated for grazing than grain growing, yet it con- tains some good upland; iron ore has been discovered in the neighborhood, and a furnace is about to be built on the head of the creek-a forge a few miles lower down has been in operation some years. In this valley are situated the "Warm Springs," a place of consider- able resort during the watering season. The water is something colder than the common temperature of our rivers, light on the stomach, diuretick, and a chemical analysis discovers the presence of magnesia. It has been found serviceable in rheumatic affections. But as my leaf is filled I must cease for the present at least, though not half through the county. Should my lucubrations prove acceptable, I may perhaps be tempted to finish VOL. XII. 6
my tour through the upper part of the county, includ. ing what is commonly called the "Iron Region." *
