A TALI OF HE LAST WAR. nr j. H. IM.RAHAM. Edward Ogilvie; was the youngest of five brave b oilier* win" served their country, troth r n the fi-M and on the sen during the fast war. Tf,, tr ni-dher was aw flow of comfortable estate, who dwelt in a pi- a®ai! homestead lacing the, w'ateir nl Boston Hay. Large elms overshad owed the rcof, and broad fields interspersed with w-odland-surrounded the mansion, while rr\;,nd was the property of Squire Hat wood, a man o| ®uhUntial w-alth, who had an only tan drter of ••ightr" n, who was a belle and an eif- ®. The road ff-m the homestead of the widow Ogilvie wound along the sea-beech with a hedge and green fields bordering it °n one side, fnd the white sparkling sand and blue waves *on the other. The distance between the two mansions was little less than a mile, *nd about half wav between was a bridge of stone, span- ing a small rivulet, that bad a course of a (ij7.--n mites from the ml.-tier. It v.as about an hour before .-unset, near the rise of the vi ar, in the mouth of October, that Edward Ogilvie was crossing the bridge on his -it to Annette Harwood, the beauty and heir . -®. for the charm® <f the ru®:ic : eile had taken laptive the vonng students heat!, and every evening for the last month he had ditected his st-j - m the direction oi her abode. Edward a- in his twentieth year, of good figure, of a j -a-uglut eon.eu hat diffident address, and A ith that calm meditative aspect peculiar to for *uch was this young man. An n-it- was not l.ved without giving h-r heart m to Edward: but the Sqnre, although ia- iad observed, -with apparent indifference, • in- tiititual attachment, had a mind of hi own ' uching a mattT so interesting to the lover* then: selves. Edwai 'i had get upon the bridge where In i .. t ,i:i_*et a few minutes as he cro.-s- d, to W'3tci: t! e lViw.ing sea rush through the arch up the c - r>k and gaze upon its expanse of waters: or J- the opposite -ide of th bridge, rontem platt 'b.-cib k inlet. &s it lost itself amid over ar-gii - 1.-e.- in a rhil w here stood a mil! be longing equally to the two manors. Edward bad paused a moment on the bridge t watch the effect of the puroie light of the we-tern skv reflected upon its mottled bosom, when hi-" eyes were arrested by a sail in the ■ fling. H-continued to watch it for a few u, nts, and then went on his way, from time •a tin ► glancing seaward to admire the stately tnd -io.v motion of its trackless passage over 'her,f>n. As he came near the dwelling of byjjre Harwood, he discovered that her course us* towards the land, but seeing Annette on 'be piazza, he foigot the vessel to hasten to her. ' !> me. ting tva® more like that of brother and r than of lovers; that is, it was affectionate, I,'M.k and free from restraint. 'He shall have a lovely evening to w ilk, the 1 will be so pleasant,' aid Annette, whom We would stop to describe if our pen could do justice to her beauty. We will, however, say 'hat the color of her eyes, was a sleep sea blue, 9ft i they sparkled like wavei glancii g in the sun light, her lips had doubt!'ss once been a • sir of cherries, stolen from Cupid, to make AT mouth the prettiest mouth imaginable.— B T sir.ilet were stinshin", fier form wassylph tke and blooming with youth, ber voice full ul music, and every motion graceful as a fawn s. Nbe as good-humored, intelligent, and auita b<y grave, and was just the maiden to ensnare 9 stu.iptil like Edward Ogilvie. 'Yes, Annette; the air is rich with golden tints 9'd ioft as a June evening. Suppose we raro kie towards The village, and listen to the mar lal music of the soldiers as they march from the grounds 4' i 'T should like it of all things. My father says our company, the Blue-, made the finest show of any n parade, to-dav.' 'He was at the review, then V 'Yes, and acted as a colonel or major, I be lieve. At any rate, he has just came horn-* on horseback, in full uniform, with a sword by his side, and looks as brave, I tell you, as a crusa ding knight. He told me to hold my little tongue, and so 1 have for a full minute.' 'AnJ the longest time you ever held it, Net ty,'said the Squire, coming out of the house with his chapeau in his hand, and his sword unbelted and beneath his arm. 'Ah, EJwaid, good evening, man. Tine day we have had for the general muster.' •Yes, sir. Are tile troops dismissed vet ?' 'N .t all.' 'We were going up the road to the hilltop, to listen to the music, father,' said Annette. 'No, no! Slav at home, child,' said the Squire 'gravely. f suppose Master Etward has asked vou to go ?' •I did, .Mr. Harwood; 1 thought the walk might he pleasant.' 'Humph! Look you, young man,' said Squire Harwood, bluntly; 'military music is not made for the amusement of studious youths after id ling the day over mustv books, nor merely to please a lassie's ear. It is the voice of the sprit of liberty j and calls the young men of the land to light her battles, and the maidens to make them clothe® to fight in, and colors to fi-ht under! Vou, I see, like my Annette, and, so far 3s 1 can see, she likes you back again.— Now, Edward, you are a very correct young man; that I know, hut you see, I haven't but one daughter and don't mean that she -hall . marry a man, who. excellent 3? he may be, through all this war has never draw n a blade nor pulled a tiigg-r m defence of bis country. Your brothers are all brave fellows and are serving her with honor. You stay at home to pour over dictionaries :n the day time, and come to make love to Annette by moonlight. — Now, I have nothing against vou as I said be fore: but 1 have made up my mind that Annette shan't marry a man that hasn't had a hand in the war against the English. If you are ola mind to follow the example of your brothers, and let me hear something you have done, I can tell my neighbors with pride that you shall have my consent to marry Annette; lor her's I dare say, she has given you long ago. A test, you know, is as good as a sermon, Master Ed ward. So if you want my daughter, you know how she is to lie won.' Thus speaking, Squire Harwo ul IAKT* An nette under Id# arm, and bowing very kindly | but firmly to the astonished lover, disappeared within the housp. Edward remained standing a moment upon the spot where they had left him, as if trying to realize what had passed. He then turned away in silence, bis cheek burning with the glow of a mortified and sensitive spirit. The profession he had in view was that of a clergyman; although not deficient in courage nor patriotism, he had suffered his brothers to take the field and the deck, while he c-mained at home. f'he words of the Squire sank into his spirit. He walked slowly homeward, very sad, and filled with the painful idea of losuu her who was so very dear to him. He stopped and speaking aloud, said firmly— <ll Annette is only to be won bv taking up arms', I will enlist to-morrow ! It is honorable to serve one's country. lam not yet a clergy man, and I can therefore act freely. This is the iast day the reproach shall be thrown upon me, that I remain dally ing at home while my brothers are abroad expo-ing their bosoms to the weapons of their country's foes ! While he was speaking he saw that the ship, which he had noticed hall an hour before a a . distance, had drawn close in with the land, and bad dropped anchor close in with the inlet.— The sun had already s>t. yet he could see her distinctly and di-covered that she was a mer chant ship. He remained for some time watch ing her and listening to the distant drum of a detachment of the militia of the town and neighbor hood, which was retiring homeward fro . the muster fi- ! d. The sound of the drum ii3U dud away in the distance beyond the mill, and the long da-hing ol the wavus against the bridge fell upon his ear. 'Well, to-morrow, I, too, shall match to the sound ot fife and drum ! I will enlist as a pri vate and make my way up. Annette shall be won !' He paused, thinking he heard the sound of oar®. He looked s-award, but the twilight rendered objects too obscure to detect any boat approaching. Yet each moment the (all of the sweep came nearer and nearer, and he was soon enabled to see a barge pulling in towards the bridge. He saw thai the boat contained at least twenty men. It moved slower as it drew nearer land, and a person standing up in the stern directed the landing. It s'ruck the shore close bv the biidge within the inlet ; and al most beneath where he stood. When the par ty embarked he saw that half of them were sea men, and the other half marines, and that all were well armed. They were commanded by a voung midshipman, who forming them into a column, nar< bed them up the bank and the bridge. Edward as they came near, drew him self up in the li.nb of a tree, and was conceal ed by the foliage, while he observed with sur prise their stealthy movements. 'How far is the griit mill hence, Sambo ?' asked the young officer, looking about him, after his party had got on the bridge, all but one (o gu3rd the boat. 'The grist mill am about a third of a mile up the creek, and the other one where the most grist is-about a mile. There is a good path along thy-shore,' answered a man in the trua Yankee intonation, but speaking wrlh manifest reluctance. •If you deceive nrie, darkey, you are a dead man,'raid tEe midshipman, very positively, BEDFORD, FA., FRIDAY .MORNING, DECEMBER 3, 185a r j 'I knows dat well nuff, so I tells you th p l : truth, though I hates to, mighty I knows all I 'bout di-- place' c>s I used to live here once.— !

Thes filed off the I ridge, and taking the path along which the n-gro led the vav, they were i soon lost to the sight of Edward in the gioom of the overhanging banks of the creek. 'These men, then, are Engli-h,' he reflected, .as he left himself down upon the brnlge, "the t ve-s-1 i-a prize bound for Halifax, with a mil -hipmari, and two and thirty men—twenty : ! here and ten on board. My course is decided on ! It will take them an hour to vi.it both ! mills. Half of that time is enough f>r me. I shall know where to seek the militia party with file and drum, ami if I cau find twenty ; men among them willing to place themselves under u v orders, I will win Annette before to morrow's sunn*".' As he spoke, he glided noiseles-ly aw ay horn the biidge, and after g.-tting beyond the hear j ing of tie men in the boat, he flew like the i , i wind arioss a meadow in the direction of what • was called the Cross K ad, a cluster of viliage habitations, the principal of which was a large country tavern, where he knew he should find assembled many of the militia men who had ! bortie a part in the review in the neigiiboring ! ' town. This inn was about half a mile from the , j bridg-, on a toad in the rear of Squire Har j u farm anofs whicfi, leaping fence after fence, E I ward Ogilvie was now flying with the 'speed of a deer. The tavern as he cane n-ar was so quiet, ! that he feared the men he sought had retred to their respective homes. Seeing a light in the top, how evt r, he hoped to find some person® there. Through the window, as he approached ■ the door, he saw the bar-room was neatly filled with men. Tiie next moment he was in their presence. His manner was divested o' all ex citement. and a spiiit, calm and resolute, beam ed from his eye®. There w er--at least twenty men iti the apartment, most of them with knap sack® and bayonet he!'.- upon their persons, and | -ouie leaning upon their muskets, while the ! guns of the party were stacked in the room.— J Some of .them were smoking others, others drin -1 i king, and all listening to a long yarn, told by one of the part y, of certain exploits bv himself, ! personally, at the battle I'iatt.burg. On Edwards, entrance the land! >rd first' i noticed him. 'Ah —so y n enter a tavern on training day, ; Mt. Ogilvie. Glad to #ce you. Though vou i are not much of a fighting man, I like vou for i your brothers' sake, who are all serving their i J country. But there niu.t be parson* a* well ; as soldn rs, and every man to his trad-.'' All eyes were now turned upon the young man. Advancing a little way inta the loom, . j he said : . j 'I am glad to find so many of vnu here assem ! bled. If the brave men among vou ar° w iliing j l ito place yourselves under my direction for the next tw'o h .urs, I will lead yon where vou | can v* in both honor and prize-money !' : 'Spoken with spirit !' exclaimed seveial of . i the men. 'That lings like your brother George,' said | the landlord. ' j 'But w hat is it !' cried ail, crow ding round j ! him. ; 'Will yon be led by me ?

'You are uot going to keep out of dan > ger?' , 'No, sir. If there are twenty brave men here who will volunteer to go with me, I will pro • ceed to their boat, take possession of it, and em bark to their ship.

Once on board, the ship will ■ easily fall into our bands, for most of the prize Freedom of Thought and Opinion. ! crew are ashore. Who will volunteer? Lb s bold proposition at first startled them: but in less than five minutes twenty of them had valunteered, and in two minutes more he was at their head leading them to the bridge, whifo the 'Squire' with his detachment, procee ded to cut off the retreat of the enemy. The result was in all respects successful, i The E iglish party at the hills surrendered after a grief skirmish, and were taken to the ta vern as prisoners within an hour alter the; 1 Squire had left it.

Fort Vancouver,[ft'. T.) October 2, l*?5S. \ SIR :—Since mv letter of the '23.1 ultimo, to the Adjutant General, I have received a report from Major Garnett of September '2Hh, announ cing his return to Fort "i ncop, with the col umns under his command after a march of five hundred and five mile®. He reached a point fifty mile.® north of the fort on the (Tlx uiagon sending out from point to point in his course expeditions to scour the valleys to the right and left to the distance of fifty mile®. The Indians would not meet in battle but by great enterprise he succeeded in laktng and doing justice upon the greater num ber of those who attacked the miners. f'he hostile chief®, Owhi and Qualcliin fled the country either unable to unite the tnbes'of war or deqiairing of meeting the troops with sue c-.s. The Major destroy "J much of the pro vi ion® and zed much of the stock of these j Indians : and in th<* general opinion has so im pressed them that further hostilities are not ap- , prehended. Tit • hostile Indians sent s >me few !ock to the Salmon-river Indians for protec- i ti -n or for sale. The impression already ma le j by the troops was 93 salutary that these In liana ; tetifrrd iha rattle t®> th- Indian agent and the j Indian who brought them from the hostiies wa-j surrendered bv the friendly Indians and execu ted bv the order of Major Garnett. This short j campaign of forty four days has iilustrat-d the ! capacity of the commander and the energy of J the officers and soldiers and amply repaid the ; Government. From Colonel Wright I have j dates to the 2oth ot which I give the following ; summary, viz r On S-pteinber 17th, he made a pacificatun with the Co? ir d'ALnes wium he found anx ious to submit to any term® as the pi ice of peace. On September 231 the Spokanes arri ved at hi® camp in 'he same spirit and yielded j ready submission to the same demand.®. Tne , terms granted were in general terms, such a® j were stipulated in my letter of June 25th, to j !he ag'-nt ofthe Ctp ir d'AUene.® Rev. Father Joset who rote to me at their reque-t before the troops were put in motion. These are, the sur render of the authors of the attack upon Col. Step; oe, the delivery of all property taken by them, the free and unmolested passage of all whites :h ough their cou'i ry and hostages for good behavior. * * * * On the same day (25th)Owhi principal chief of the Yakimas who bad been driven from hi country by Major Garnett entered Colonel Wright's camp. He was placed in iion.®.— His sm Qualchin arrived the n*.\t morning.— This man was implicated in the murder of the fndian agent, Bohn, previous to the outbreak of 1556 and since then has been the most defermi ned in hostility. He was ex-cuted. On the , 25th the howitzers abandoned by the troops in the Spring were recovered an d also the remains •of Captain Tavlorand L-eut. Gaton who fell at that time. Col Wiight marched for the Pefouze on the same day. All engaged in the hostilities have been beaten and all except these have been driven to terms. It is not probable that they single-handed w ill irake a stand, and f am prepared to find in the next despatches from Col. W., their submission. The short and ton out side, bloodless campaign is over. The sudd j n assembling of the troops took the Indi ans bv surprise; their energy and superior arms threw them into const ernation; the expenditure of life and treasuie in a long war, ha® been ,-avrd; peace is obtained, and a control over the most warlike of the Pacific tribes, which need ; reverbe lost. The energy and good leading of j Col. Wright and Major Garnett are een in the fruits obtained. Their officer* and men j received their commendation. They have pi oven good soldiers, patient, enduring and active. I commend the zeal of all concerned to the (ieneral-in-chief. 1 am. sir, verv respectfully vour obedient servant. - N. S. ( LARKE.

He went, j but soon fell asleep in his pew and his mind j j wandered off into the "the land of dream®."— | The occasion was one of unusual solemnity as j , a revival was in progr-s®. Th- minister prea- j ; ched a sermoa well calculated for effect. Hi® j peroration was a climax of great beauty. As- , i suming the attitude of one intently listening, he | ; recited to the bieathless auditory : : "Hark 1 tbey whisper, angeU *ay''— ' /fog in came from the d-acon's pew, in a stentorian voice.
