You are aware that when I
arreared belt e you at the late
cleElection I had not ac-
cepted
(flee, although I bad
been gnashed as President of the
Executive Council. My reasons
for refusing that Office 1 stater)
to you plainly and in full. I then
explained to you, that although
it is necessary to have a Chair -
_man or President, the duties
hitherto devolving upon the Pre-
silent were not such as to wser-I
rart the country m paying i
hundred pout a year tor isl
services. Since that time, how-
ever, the office of President of the
Council has been materially al-
tered and other important duties,
• till now neglected,a
attached to it—so that it is now
in reality no longer a sinecure

Concluded.
Within five minutes after the arrival of
Elliot, every living being in the settlement
was collected within the stockade fort at
Wheeling. The story of the youth was
told in a few words.
' This is a distressing affair,' said colonel
Zane, the commandant of the garrison.
It is fortunate, however, that major M'Col-
loch is with us to -day. Twelve mounted
men under his cpmmand will capture the
copper -colored rascals before sunset, and
restore the dear child • to us unharmed.

the shape of an Indian fight,' replied the
intrepid hunter.

the number --mount as on the fleetest Lor-

you more. Time is precious. You pick the
men, and I go now to get the horses in readi-
ness.—
' It shall be done,' answered M'Colloeb,
'aad quickly too! Lewis Wetzel!'
'Here !' replied Lewis, as he elbowed
his way through the group of persons which
had collected around the major.
' I put you at the bead of the list, and will
espect much from you,' continued Al'Col-
loch.
' Major Mac,' said Wetzel, "I don't
