NEW YORK, December 17
From the MINERVA,
A hint to the wife.

A gentleman who has visited Asia, suggests to his fellow-citizens who are extracting sugar from the maple tree, that it may be more advantageous to make the incision higher than they do at present, for the Asiaties always cut the Palmira tree just below the first branches, and of the liquor they make both sugar and an intoxicating drink. If the saccharine juice is formed by the combination of the particular property of the maple tree, with water which rises from the earth, it is natural to suppose that the present method of collecting the sap just above ground before it has undergone much commixture will be attended with its present result, viz. A great quantity of water and very little serrup.

If upon experiment it shall be found that more sugar is made from a less quantity of sap when the incision is made high up, one great advantage will be that less labour will be required to collect the sap and to evaporate the water.

KNOXVILLE, November 29.

We feel ourselves compelled, notwithstanding the pleasing prospects of peace, held forth in our last, to state the following account of murders, etc. by Indians, but we would willingly hope they were not committed by Cherokees.

On the 24th of October last, a party of Indians fired upon John Leper, and another man, near the house of the former, on the east fork of Red river, Tennessee county. On the same day another party of Indians killed and scalped Evan Watkins, within one hundred yards of colonel Winchester's mill, in Sumner county.

These two places are 70 miles distant from each other. On the 25th of the same month, a party of twelve fellows were discovered crossing the road between Bledsoe's Lick and Shaver's Cabins. On the following day cornet Evans was fired upon between Bledsoe's Lick and colonel Winchester's by four fellow's; and on the 26th the spies discovered a party of thirteen Indians crossing Cumberland river, towards the settlements within five miles of colonel Winchester's.

These several parties appearing in and about the settlements, nearly at the same time, spread an unusual degree of alarm among the inhabitants. Families in general throughout the neighborhood, shut themselves up in their stations, and all intercourse ceased for several days, except by patroling parties. The people exclaimed, Congress could not know their sufferings, and have the feelings of men, or they would take measures to give them effectual protection.

On the fifth instant, a party of fifty Indians on the waters of Red river, Tennessee county, fell upon the families of colonel Isaac Titsworth, and his brother, John Titsworth, and killed and scalped seven white persons, wounded a negro wench, and took a white man, three children, and a negro fellow prisoners. Pursuit was given by the neighbouring militia, and the Indians discovering their approach, tomahawked the three children and scalped them, taking off the whole skin of their heads. The white man and negro fellow were either killed, or carried off. - Our informant, from Mero district, supposes these murders to have been committed by Creeks.

On the 12th instant, the Indians killed John Covington, on his way from Red Bank, on the Ohio to Muddy river, Kentucky.

On Thursday afternoon a company of travellers arrived in town from Mero district. For the news from that quarter, we refer our readers to the following copy of a letter:

Clarsonville, Tennessee county,
Nov. 12, 1794.

Dear Brother,

Yesterday I was a spectator to the most tragical scene that ever I saw in my life. The Indians made an attack on colonel Sevier's station, killed Snyder, his wife, one child, King's wife and child, one of colonel Sevier's children, and another wounded and scalped, which must die. On hearing the guns, four or five of us ran over; we found the poor old colonel supporting his house with his wife. It is impossible to describe the scene to you. Mr. Jones, who goes, and was an eye witness, can give you the particulars. The crying of women and children in town - the bustle and consternation of the people, being all women and children, but the few who went over to Sevier's was a scene which cannot be described. This is a stroke we have long expected, and from every intelligence we hourly expect this place to be assailed by the enemy - colonel Sevier is now moving, and the town will not stay longer than Mr. James's return. My wife lies now on her bed, so bad that it would be death to move her. Thus we are situated. This place will, without any doubt, be evacuated, in a day or two, unless succour is given by the people from the interior parts - Pray ask the influence of major Tatum Douglas, and all our friends, with general Robertson, to guard us, or at least help us safe away., Adieu.

PITTSBURGH, December 13.

Extract from the orders issued by major-general Morgan, on his taking command of the army at Bentley's farm on the Monongahela.

GENERAL ORDERS.
Camp, Bentley's farm, November 30th.

The general anticipates the happiest issue that the army he has the honour to command, will afford to the laws and friends of good order and government in the western counties of Pennsylvania. The willingness with which the citizens have enrolled themselves to cooperate with the army in the restoration of obedience to the laws, are pleasing evidences that the unhappy delusion which lately pervaded this country, under the auspices of the friends to anarchy, are at an end.

The general hopes that the army now hunting for winter quarters, will consider themselves as in the bosom of their friends, and that they will vie with each other in promoting the love and esteem of their fellow citizens, and pointedly avoid every species of spoliation on the property of the inhabitants.

The offices commanding fatigue parties are particularly directed not to ____ the sugar or other trees producing fruit or comfort to the farmer, to be cut down for building or any other purpose whatever.

The burning of fencing, where there is such an abundance of fuel so easily procoured, is strictly forbid, and a violence offered to the person, or depreciation on the property of any individual, by the soldiery, will be punished in the most execplary and summary manner.

CONGRESS

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, December 18.

The house took up for a third reading the bill making appropriations for payment of the militia on the late expedition against the insurgents - after some debate the bill was passed, and sent to the senate. The house adjourned at 12 o'clock this day.

The committee to whom was referred that part of the president's speech which relates to the policy of indemnifying the sufferers by the depredations of the insurgents in the western counties of Pennsylvania, report the following resolutions, viz.

RESOLVED, That the president of the United States be requested to cause an ascertainment to be made of the losses sustained by the officers of government, and other citizens, in their property (in consequence of their exertions in support of the laws) by the insurgents in the western counties of Pennsylvania.

RESOLVED, That the president be authorised to draw out of the treasury of the United States, the sum of (blank space) collars, to be applied by him tp aid the said sufferers in repairing their losses.

The above resolutions have given rise to debate in the house - various opinions on the best mode of indemnifying the sufferers appear to be entertained by the speakers.

It was said the injured parties ought to seek reparation in the course of law in the first instance - and if indemnification could not be obtained from the aggressors, then government should afford its aid; but an immediate indemnification will operate to screen the guilty, and transfer their punishment so far as respects property ___ the innocent and the community at large; for it is absurd to suppose a man would appear in a court of justice to prosecute for that which he had already received. An objection was also drawn from another quarter, that if persons who lose property in civil commotions, find no difficulty in obtaining indemnification, it will render people careless and indifferent in defending their property. It might influence abandoned persons to contrive local insurrections for the very purpose of fleecing the public. These objections were replied to, by urging the justice of the claim of the sufferers; and the extreme danger which will arise, should those who distinguish themselves as supporters of the laws, be exposed to losses in proportion to their patriotism and signal exertions to uphold the government. The subject of these resolutions is yet before the house.
