General Armnlrnng.
' The editor of the New York Comme rri il Advor.
lisei ijivcs has'y biographical sketch of the late
General John Armstrong, who dirJ a few days
ince near the city of Now York.
Grn. A. wa a native nf Pennsylvania. He was
n officer in the Revolutionary Atmy, and waa tn
AiJ to General Mercer. He fiit t1itinguihol
himself hy the ntliomhip of the famous "Newbtirg
Letters," which, as the army wm about to he dis
solved without payment to the officer, called upon
the whole to holJ themselves together n n army,
and demand payment of Congress.
It will le recollected thnl the first of those li tters
caused Washington great uneasiness. It rallied a
atftim which was not to he met at once. He there,
fore alluded to the letter, and the proposition, in his
next general order. Another letter came with in
creased severity. Washington addressed the offi
cers, and they limited their action to a respectful
application to Congres. The Commercial adds
the following :
In this connection we will rspeat an incident
on re related to us hy the Inte Major Faiilie, of this
city. The Major was a Lieutenant in the Revolu
tionary Army at the close of the war a young
man, full of spirit and enthusiasm, and ready for
advpn'U'e. He had lhought'csly lieen induced to
embark in the project of Armstrong, and was ac
customed to meet in cpnetav. with the officer who
had heen seduced to join the conspiracy not, how
ever, that they thought it exactly a conspiracy, hut
only a combination of pitriotic men to obtain their
rights to demand that justice to which they were
r mil li d at the hands of a country they bad been
serving so faithfully and so long. The I ist meet
ing of the conspirators, according to the .Majors
relation, was broken up in a most unexpected man
ner, and under circumstances which effectually
prevented their ever convening again. They were
assembled in the night, thirty or foity of them ar
dent, hut-headed young men in a place, na they
supposed, of perfect secrecy, and without the knowl
edge, as they imagine.!, of any who were not in
the plot. There they were, in a long room, as
snug as so many mice in a cheese, maturing their
plans, ond not doubting of their success, when sud
denly their door opened, nnd in stalked the majes
tic form of Washington ! He w.lkcd directly j
through the room, with solemn visage and lofty
tread, glancing his eyes at the conspirators on ci
ther hand, until he reached ihe head of the room,
when he turned round, and gave them look of
mingled sorrow and indigr.t!on, which went to
their inmost souls. 'Never,' said the Major to us,
hare I seen such a look , and never did a act of
fellows feel cheaper than we did. They slunk off
as they could, and I, for my part,' he added, 'never
knew how I got away !' "
General Arm-trong distinguished himself aa a
Minister at P.irw, hut lie lost nearly all his credit by
the loss of Washington Cily, when he was Secreta
ry of War," where he was charged with total ne
glect of means to defend the Capitol of the nation,
even after he had been earnestly solicited to supply
those means. That was the end of Gen. Arm
strong's public career. He sppeared to loe no
opportunity to aail, and he was a vigorous writer,
evidently more skilled in the theory, than in the
practice of war, understanding better what an offi
cer should do, than how to do it himself.

Ship-maw. The Pit'shurg Sun of Tuesday, the
1 1th int., says:
We learned yesterday evening that Shipman ar
rived in this city on Sunday morning last, and im
mediately started on the steamboat Exprcs, for
Cincinnati. He registered his name as "Mr. John
son, of New York." Nothing was known of the j
circumstances while he was in the city. The po- j
lice got the first intimation of the matter yesterday,
twenty-four hours too la'e. lie ia doubtless on his
way to Texaa.
A ne w mode of building farm houses is thus re.
lated in the Western New Yorker ; Hanks arc ob
tained from the saw mill, I inches thick hy 4 in
ches wide and after the cellar walls and sills are
laid, these boards are piled on each other like bricks,
and nailed say at a distance of eighteen inches by
ten penny nail', each of which bind three planks
firmly together at the corners and pirtilinns, they
are laid to hriuk joints I ke tnicks cut to fit be
tween door and window frames, and made to pro
ject when cornices are to i formed the building
ia then roofed in the uua1 way, plastered inside and
clapbnarded, and makes a warm, economical, firm
and very durable bouse. No raising is necessary,
nor breaking of limbs two boys can build it.
PrisiiMr.T i NoiiTit ('moMta. At a re
cent term of the Supreme Court of Wake county,
(N. C.,) William I'ully was convicted of man.
.laughter, in having killed one Uriah Lewis. On
the 7th inst. I'ully was brought into Court for
sentence. The Raleigh Register furnishes the
following report of the sentence, and it inflidion.
Judgment waa then given that the prisoner be
branded with a letter "M" in the brawn of the
thumb of the left band, and be imprisoned for six
months, the hot brand to remain on the hand till
the prisoner should have repeated three fi'mcs, "God
ave the Slate," The branding then took place
forthwith at the bar, in the presence of the Court ;
and the prisoner was conducted to piison.

On the breast of the billow,

Unruffled the mirror,
Unbioken the ray :

Swept over the stream,
And broke the repose
Of the wave and the beam.

Love's spirit will rest,
Pure, peaceful and holy,
In fond woman's breast ;
Till passion's w ild breathings
Have fanned into flame,
To illttmii.e her pathway,
Or perish in shame.

lic thai their efforts will be unceasing to render it
worthy of being a companion for ihe young. To
plant the seeds of morality and truth in the youth
ful heart, to in.-til virtuous principles and motives
into ihe mind, to aid in the formation of character,
to cultivate a laste for knowledge and improvement,
and with instruction to blend pleasure and amuse
ment, these have been, and will continue lobe
the end nnd aim uf the woik. Every article will be
I thoroughly digested before it is admitted into Ibn
j woik, and gieal care will be taken that il shall no'
I contain anything inconsistent with the object it
view. It is designed lo Is?, not interesting for thi
I momi nt only, but of permanent value, and fit t
