THE SPY OF THE MOHAWK.
BT WILLIAM W. CAMPBELL.
Who baa not sceD the beauiifd valley
of the Mohawk ? As the iron-horse
draw? the long train, now winding around
the base of some lofty hill, and now al
most suspended over the foaming waters
of the river, the traveler, seated at his
ease and looking out upon the variegated
beauties of the shifting scene cab hare
but an imperfect idea of the toils and
trials of those who seventy years ago
traversed this ame valley. Then, days
and weeks were occupied in passing from
Schenectady to Uiiia. The old fashion
ed keel boat was forced up against the
rapid current with great labor; and
when the river was swollen in the
Spring, the navigation was even consid.
ered dangerous. And yet, in the old
French war, a large army, with all its
munitim? and equipage, passed through
the valley on its way to the westf rn and
northern frontier ; and in the Revolution,
the bold scheme was devised of sending
a division of the American forces, intep-
ded to opperate against the Six Nations,
up to the Mohawk to Canajohnrie, and
thence to the head of the Qisego Lake.
It was a hazardous and toilsome expe
dition; and the old soldier. General
James Clinton, was appointed to the com
mand. It was a fitting postor the man
who had from early youth been inured
to the dangers and hardships of border
wars. Early in 'the spriDg' of 1779, he
reached, with the detachment, the point
now occupied by the village of Canajo
haritf, and which was formerly the site
of an Indian castle of the same name.
From here large parties were sent out
to clear the way, and open a road to the
head of Otsego Lake, over which the bat-
to -11:5 He -i i"on tba river could be traus-
poru
It
i.i a latere us ;
-prise,
i-It
niacder, a'liJ uued the' j aiieccs and pat
riotism of officers and men in its execu
tion. The distance was some twenty
miles, and the rout lay over the high
range of land which there separates the
tribu'aries of the Mohawk from the head
waters of the eastern branch of the Sus
quehanna. Spring had gone and Sum
mer had come, before the batteaux were
carried over the mountains, and launched
tor the first time upon the bosom of that
beautiful lake. -Wmle this portion of the
American army lay at Canajoharie, the
events occured which it is proposed here
briefly to relate.
It was at the close of a leng day in
early Summer. The sun was low in the
west, and its rays, no longer holding dal
liance with the clear waters of the Mo
hawk, were taking their farewell kiss or
the green old forest-trees which covered
the tops of the surrounding hills. Strag
gling partits of soldiers, in their fatigue
dresses, were moving slowly down the
winding road, returning to camp wearied
from their hard day's toil ; some of them
reflecting upon the plaasant scenes which
tliey had left, and calling to mind their
own distant homes, where their wives
and little ones, at such an hour in days
gone by, had looked out and watched
their return ; and resolving never again
to leave those quiet scenes for the rude
and hard life of a soldier. The evening
parade was over; the roll of the evening
drum was ended; the watch-fires werej
kindled, and here and there a light
twinkled through the small window of
the bouses of the German settlers, which
were even at that day thickly sprinkled
along this portion of the valley.
Around the hnuse occuj)ie4 tby :the gen
eral as his head-quarters, there seemed,
on this evening to be an unusual gather
ing of officers,, and from the hurrying to
and-fro of subordinates, it was evident that
preparations were making fpr some occur
rence f more than ordinary interest. In
deed, it was no secretin thecampthat two
persons had been arrested on the previous
day as spies, an .that a court-martial
would assemble that evening.before which
they would be arraigned. It is hardly
necessary to observe, that the war of the
revolution found thesettlements . along
the upper part of the valley of the Mo
hawk, and upon the head-waters of the
Susquehanna, in a very exposed situation.
Sir William Johnion died in 1774. For
more tl an a quarter of a century he had
exerted a great influence over the inhab
itants of that region, and over the In
dian tribes, and especially over the tribe
which even then had their dwelling-pla
ces on the banks of the river to which
they had given the same,'-and who by
their skill and prowess stood at the head
of the great coufedracy of the . Indians of
New York. The influence which was pos
sessed by Sir William, was retained by
his son-in-law, Guy Johnson, especially
over tie Indians, most of whom, in the
following year, left their pleasant home,
and went with him to Canada He wa
followed also by a large number of the
white inhabitants, who espoused the cause
of the mother country. -Many of these
men afterwards enlisted into a regiment
organized and commanded by Sir John
Johnson, (a son of Sir William,) and
known in the border wars of New York
by the name of "Johnson Greens."
Others joined with the Indians, and as
suming the Indian garb and adopting the
Indian, mode of warfare, made incursion,
into the settlements, and laid them wastes
marking their progress by deeds of wan
ton and savasre cruelty. Two of these
men, who had been engaged in this bor
der warfare, had been, as before observ
ed, arrested as spies in the camp of Gen
eral Clinton, and were now to be tried
for their lives.
The preliminary arrangments having
been made, an order was given to bring
jn the prisoners The charges were few,
and briefly stated. They set forth thaf'the
prisoners had in the firt instance aban
doned their country in her hour of need,
and haying gone over to the enemy, did
afterwards enter into the enemy's service
and din commit acts of aggression upon
the true and patriotic inhabitants of the
Province of New York ; and being: thus
engaged in the service of the enemy, did
come into the camp as spies."
The trial proceeded. Witnesses were ex
amined, who testified to the prisoners hav
ing been residents of the Province pre
vious to the war; and, indeed, their fami
lies at the lime lived in the vicinity, and
within a few miles of the camp. They
knew, from genera reports, that they had
joined the enemy; but no overt act was
proven especially agnlrsi the principal
iff,, t
"JIave all the witnesses been examin
ed?" asked Gen. Clinton. " ' -
"There is one other witness, who is
momentarily expected." was the reply of
the Judge-Advocate.
In a few minutes, a man entered. He
was bowed down, not with years, but with
sorrow. His grey hairs were the marks
of misfortune, not of age. For a moment
his eye rested on Newbury, and the guil
ty prisoner grew pale, as he mef the
searching glance of the witness. He was
sworn, and commenced a minute detail
of the destruction, in the previous year,
of the neighboring settlement, where he
then lived; and he was absent when the
Indians, and Tories, disguised as Indians
reached his bouse; that he hastened home
only to iind his dwelling on fire, and his
whole family, his wife and four children,
fy.assacred , that he succeded in extin
guishing the fire, and on examination, he
found one of his children, a daughter
about eleven years of agestill alive ; that
he carried her to the door, and she reviv
ed so as to be able to sit up ; that while
supporting her in his arms, he saw anoth
er party of the enemy approaching, when
he fled and concealed himself ; that the
leader of the second p;trty was known to
him; and that as he approached the door,
the Tory leader, with ab'ow of his tom
ahawk, extinguished the spark of life
which was kindled up in the bosom of his
child. "And there," pointing to the pris
oner, Newbury, "sits the Tory leader !
May God have mercy on him, for lean
not!" - -
He sat down under great exciiement of
fealing.and burying hi$ face in his hands,
sobbed aloud. As for Newbnry, his face
paled and his lips quivered, when the wit
ness commenced his narative; and when
concluded, despair seemed to have seized
him. The ,Court pronounced him guilty,
and he was hanged tne next day. His
wife pleaded for him, but in vain. The
interest of the patriot cause required that
retributive justice should be deal out. She
was permitted, however, to take the body
of her husband for the purpose of burial.
It wa placed in a rude coffin, and laid in
the basement room of a house in the vi
cinity of the camp ; and while several
persons were sitting around, a large black
snake issued from the wall, and passing
over tne coffin, glided away into the op-
.
posite way.,
It may well be imagined that amazement
teized upon those who were witnesses of
this strange event. The'tale oon spread,
and it was readily inferred and oelieved
that his Satanic Majesty had offered in
that shape, " to . convey away the soul of
the guilty Newbury.'. As aconsequnce,
tlio God of Hosts wai cn the tide of the
i: t i ti
pauiutb. TiiB puiriuiuui and courage of
tbe; people were much promoted by this
srange occurrance. It must b9borne m
ornd that the mostearly settlers in that
region of country were- Germans, ann
that they partook largely of the super
stitions of their fatherland- Many a Get
man mother, on this occurrence, called to
mind and related to her listening chil
dred, the tales of the spirits of her native
mountains in Germany; and for many
long years after the close of the Revolu
tionary war, the trial and execution of
' Sergeant Newbury" formed a fruitful
theme of Winter evening conversations
and the subject of many a nursery tale.

for the payment of the bounties author

tional bounty provided by this act.
The above having been referred by the
Secretary of War to the Attorney Gen
eral for his opinion cn the point, wheth
er the rules and regulation as within
amended are in conformity with the law,
the latter has given an affirmative ' re
sponse. The following very important decis
ions have recently been given by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue at
Washington:
1. Farmers will not be required to
make re turn of produce consumed in their
own immediate families.
2. The farmer's profits from sales of
live stock are to be found from deduct
ing the gross receipts for animals sold
and the purchase money paid for the sa.ne
If animals have been lost during the year
by death or robbery, the purchase mon
ey paid for such animals may be dedus-
ted from the gross income of the farm.
3. No deduction can be made ly the
farmar for the vnlue cf service rer:u.;red
by his miner chilJern, whether he actu
ally pays for such' services or r.ct. If a
dult childern work for' him and receive
compensation for their Jabor, they are to
be regarded as other hired laborers in
determining his income.
4. Money paid for labor, except, such
as is used or employed in domestic ser
vice or in the production cf articles con
sumed in the family of the producer..raay
be deducted.
45. No deduction can be allowed in any
case fpr the cost of unproductive labor.
If honse 'servants are employed a portion
of the time in productive labor, such as
the making of butter and cheese for sale,
a proportionate amount of the wages paid
them may be deducted.
6. Expenses for ditching and clearing
new land are plainly expenses for per
manent improvement, and net deducted.
'7. The whole amount expended for
fertilizers employed daring tne year to
the farmers may be 'deducted; Jbut no de
duction is allowed' for fertilizers produced
on the farm. The cost of seeds purchas
ed for sowing and planting j:nay be de
ducted. 8. If a person sells timber standing,
the profits are to bo obtained by estima
ting the value of the land after the re
moval of the limber, and from the sum
thus obtained deducting the estimated
value of the land on the 1st of January,
1862, or on the day of purchase, if pur
chased since that date.
" 9. Wnere "repairs have been made by
the tax payer upon any building owned
by 'him during the preceeding five years,
nothing can be deducted for repairs made
during the year for which hii income is
estimated.
10. A farmer should make returns of
his produce sold within the year,, but a
mere executory contract for a sale is" not
a sale ; delivery, either active or con
structive, is essential. .The criterion by
which to judge, whether a sale incomplete
or not, is to determine whethef the ven
dor still retains in that chrracter a right
over the property ; if the property were
lost or destroyed, upon which parties, in
the absence of any other relation betw
een them than that of the .vendsr and
vendee, would the loss fall. '
