I As an introduction to the documents which I save mentioned, it may not be improper on this centennial anniversary of our national-independence to refer briefly to the trials, perseverance, -courage and self-reliance of those historic people who are known as tfre pioneer set tiers of the central region lies between the Allegheny mountains and the Mississippi river, i The rapid and marvelous growth of com munities, stales, tunruuan civilization ana civil and religions liberty in- this vast region seems to be almost miraculous. "When men and women, who are now living in the union, were little children, old enough to lisp the child's prayer, the beaotifnl Ohio river;" throughout its long course or about one thousand miles. Bowed through an unbroken There was so civilized.

settlement on its Kentucky was a wilderness with out one white inhabitant Vincennes, Detroit' and Mackinaw were small French villages; but to the English colonies in- America these places were imperfectly, as mis sionary stations and Indian -trading posts. At a period not far off in the coming time the immense, attractive and genial. region that lies between the 'Alleghany mountains and the Mississippi river, on account of the number and character of its population, its wealth, its Inexhaustible resources and its moral and intellectual power, will.be distinguished as the chief atrongbold of the greatest nation in the world. In 1750, about one hundred and twenty-five years ago, -the English -colonies In North America contained' a civilised population amounting to about one million and fifty thousand. At the aams time the Dumber of French eluding all their settlements in Canada, those" planted in tbe regions lying west- -waxd of the Alleghany mountains, and those in different parts' of Louiif.ana, amounted to only about fty-two thousand.

1 Tbe war in which the English forces under tbe command of General Edward, Braddock were defeated, in 1755, on their march to the site of FortPu Quesne, was commenced and carried on between Britain and Francs, in order to settle their conflicting claims to vast regions lying westward of the Alleghany monn- htalna. At the 'Close of this war France, by treaty concluded in 17C3, ceded to Great Britain the province of Canada, and all that part of Louisiana which was situated east of the river Mississippi and "north of the Slit degree et north latitude. By tbe terms of a proclamation issued by the Icing of Great Britain on the 7th of October, 1763, the lands and territo-riel lying to the westward oX the sources cf the rivers which fall into the sea from the west and porta west" were reserved under sovereignty, protection and dominion" of the lor the, use of the Indian tribes. All the subjects of Great Britain were strictly prohibited from making any settlements on the lands thuseet apart, westward of the Alleghany mountains, for the occupancy and use of Indiana. pome time before Canada was ceded to Great Britain, a French the Mar-' a.aia Du Quesne, held a secret conference at Montreal with Indian deputies, of the BixNKationa, reproached them for their willingness to surrender the control of the valley of the Ohio? to the English rather than to the French.

"Are you iz- xtarant," be said to them, "of the difference between the king of France and the Look at the forte which the kipgof Franco has built! You will find that under the very shadow of their walls the beasts of tbe forests are bunted and slain; that they (the forts) are in fact fixed in the places most frequented by you merely to gratify more conveniently your necessities. The English, on the contrary, no sooner occupy a poet than the woods fall before their hands, the earth is subjected to cultivation, the game disappears, and your people are speedily reduced to combat starvation." No permanent English settlements were established on the western side of the Alleghany mountains before the year 1765. The names of the founders of early civil-iced settlement is these regions show that those pioneers or their ancestors were, -with-a few emigrants from England, Ireland, Germany, Holland and France, 'Among the early settlers around the site of old Bedstone Fort, on the river Mononnhela. were those who bore the names of Wiseman, Frisser, Lynn, Colvin. ervaJson Tygart, Brown, ewam.

Between the beginning of tbe year 1765 and the close Of the year 1799, different parties, of that hardy and adventurous olasa of people who Were called western pioneers, founded settlements in Che west ern parts ot Virginia, ia western Pennsylvania, in Kentucky, and in the territory ot the United States northwest of the Ohio.

Prior to the year ISOO, in Western Penn sylvania, in Western ra Kentucky, and in the territory ot the United States northwest of tbe river Ohio, a small number of the inhabitants were colored persons, and these, with the exception of a few. were slaves; The haray adventurers wno passed west- waraly over 'the Alleghany mountains.

between the years of 17b5 and 1300, to lay tbe foundations of civilized settlements in a vast wilderness, were strong-hearted and strong-handed men and women. They were sot learned in letters, nor sluiial in the practice of the mechanic arts. Specimens of their clothing, arms, agricultural implements and household 'furniture have been, in many instances, preserved uu present time, and are exhibited as curious ana interesting memorials ox eany western manners and customs. The pioneer set tlers ot "the west" -earned with them, severally, tome contribution to the general store ot pioneer, knowledge. Somevwere eood scouts and soldiers in times Of Id dian warfare.

Some knew how to mend go Da, and to make war-knives. Some were good hunters, successful trappers, and skillful in the use of the rifle. Some were good whose 'services were very useful in building log cabins. Some knew sow to tan hides, dress dear skius, and make hunting-shirts and moo-castrav Some could-make canoes, and otters caeUd build keel-boats, flat boats and barges. The arts of tmaking sugar, salt, and distilled liquors, were known and practiced.

Plows, hoes, horseshoes, flax-brakes, spinning-wheels, reels and looms were made with some degree of skilL Some one in every family knew cow to spin, and to weave linen and woolen fabnea, Hominy-blooka, corn-graters, horse-mills were in use. Pretty good sifters were made by punching small holes in deer-skin parchment Some were sxillful in the manufacture of churns, buckets, wooden bowls, baskets and brooms. Every pioneer knew how to make hominy, johnny-cake, pone, boe-eake, ash-cake, eassalra9-tea and spice-wood-tea. No pioneer was ignorant of certain rude methods of cultivating field crops and garden vegetables. In a word, either by physical strength, or moral courage, or tbe exercise of military talents, or the employment of skill in the practice of some useful art, or by the exemplary observance of chiistias duties, the early western pioneers, as were" able to contribute something either for the support or for tbe deiense, or for the -comfort and convenience, or for the moral and religious improvement ot the several tettlements in which they Shooting at- marks, hunting; fishing, trappine.

Johs Scull and Joseph Hall published the first number Of tbePit'sburg Gazette, which iwastbe first Swspsper "printed In the regions lying westward oi tne Auegnany mountains.

On tbe 11th of August 17 7, -the first number of the Kentucky Gazette was printed at Lexington by. John Bradford and fielding iiraruard. On the 9tb of November. 1793. the first newspaper printed northwest ot the river Ohio was issued at Cincinnati by William Maxwell.

It was called the Sentinel ox the Northwestern At Vincennes, on the 4th of July. 1304, Mr. Elihu Stoutcommenced the pnblica- tionof the first newspaper in'the Indiana Territory. Mr. Stout's motto was, printed on the Xirst page of sis paper: "jnaepena-ence is my hat pineeavand, I relate things as uey are, wiwout respect to piace or persons." In 1770 the viUage of.tt3burgwas composed ot about twenty log houses, in habited principally by Indian traders; and the garrison of Fort Pitt consisted of two companies of Royal.

Irish, command ed by Captain Edmonson. The Pittcburs Gazette of tbe of August 1786, says: "Frcm the 6th of July last to the lOtb-instant a Deriodof thirtv- five days) the followibg peltry waa bought up by one trader in this place, and mostly paid for in whisky and. flour: 3,173 summer deer skins, 74 fall deer skins, 43 fawn skins, 94 bear skins, 37 elk.skins, 84 beaver skins, 887. raccoon skins, 29 fox skins, 14 marten skins, 15 wild cat skins. 17 wolf 1C panther skins, and 67 pair, of moccaaisa." The value of furs and peltries exported from Canada in 1IS5, as rated in the-, cus tom bouse, amounted to 25,97 pounds sterling.

Before tbe year and for many yeri articles of merchandise, each as salt, iron, steel, iron pots and- petwer dishes, knives and forks, eta, were carried on pack horses over tbe Alleghany mountains, and obtained by pioneer set tlers on the borders of the river Ohio in exchange for furs and In- llSi John Filson, -who wrote the first history of Kentucky said: "Now, we know by experience that forty tons of goods can not be taken to the fails of the Ohio from Philadelphia underone thou sand six hundred pounds expense. From NewOrleans to the falls of the batteaux, carrying about forty -tonsTviave been rowed by eighteen or twenty men in or ten weeks which, at this extent will sot amount to more than five hundred pounds expense, which experience has proved to be about "one-third of that from Tha ionnkl of a tourist who -visited Pittsburg 1803, says: "Most of the articles of merchandise brought in wagons over the mountains in thesuumer season, and destined for the trade down tbe river (Ohio) are stored at this place to be ready ior embarkation. With; these a great many trading boats are laden, which float down the -river, stopping atthe towns on its banks to tend the articles. In a country so remote from commerce and of. so great extent, where each one resides on his own farm, and has neither opporta-n i ty nor convenience for visl tl ng a hi ar-ket, these trading-boats contribute very "much to' the accommodation of life, by bringing to every man's bouse those little necessaries which it would be very trouble some to go a great distance to procure." Before communications -were opened between the' eastern states and the Ohio valley by means of canals and railways, the somewhat' famous conestoga wagons, each drawn by six large Oonestoga horsea, carried merchandise from Philadelphia and from Baltimore to to Wheeling.

About the year 1820 a regular line of tbese wagons, was established by a company ot Philadelphia. It was called Tbe Liae to Pi tteburg through in crteen and ine puonc were notified that a team would leave Market and Twelfth streets, Philadelphia, every morn ing at 8 o'clock.
