COMPOSITION ROOFING,
RRISBURG, PA.,
RESPECTFULLY inform the citizens of
risburg, Reading, Lancaster, Lebanon, and
their vicinities, that we are prepared to put on
roofs on most liberal terms, and at the shortest
notice.
We respectfully call the attention of persons a
bout to build, to our invaluable method of roofing,
now much used throughout the principal cities of
the United States and their vicinities. This mode
of roofing having all the combined requisites of
cheapness, Durability, and Security against'Fire
and Water, and dispensing with high gable walls;
the roofs:require an inclination of not more than'
three-quarters (1) of an inch to the foot, and in
many eases saving the entire cost of rafters—the
ceiling joist being used.
The gutters are made of the same material,
withaut• any extra charges ; consequently, our
roofs sire put up at almost haf the cost of either
Tin, Slate, or Shingles. The material being of
an imperishable nature, it surpasses all others in
Durability ;—bosides, in case of any casualty, it
is the most easily repaired of any other roof now
in use. Yet, the best proof we can OW fie to its
being both fire and water proof, are our many re
ferences, to any one of whom we are at liberty
to refer.
N. 11:—Bat let it be distinctly understood,
((since we manufacture our own composition, and
do the work in persond that we warrant all our
Work Proof ,against both Piro and Water ; if they
prove contrary, we will most willingly abide the
results. .
The materials being mostly non-conduelors of
heat., no roof is so cool in summer, or so warm in
Winter. Tbose wishing to, use. our roof should
give tbo raft Ore a pitch of about oneinch to the
foot. [luny .27, 1854.-4. m.

A BOLD ADVENTURE
In the Last INF.
One day during the last war, opposite
the entrance to Portsmouth Harbor, and
about three miles' from the shore,lay a
black frigate at anchor ; and the contin
ual motion on its decks, as seen with
the aid of a glass from land, betokened
that some event of unusual interest %via
soon to occur. Although it showedno
colors, it required an eye, of but little
experience in naval matters to decide
that it was English. WFiat could he its
object was a trystery.' Its Wooden walls
effectually concealed the principal op
erations from many who watched it anx
iously from the shore, `arid when, during
the day, it was joined by another vessel
of the same class, and a heavy man-of
war, not a little excitement was created
among those who lived near the water.
Towards Portsmouth the enemy had
often thrown longing glances. It was
the key to New Hanipshire and the
western part . of Maine, and possessing
one of the finest harbors in the world,
where a navy, without losing a spar,
might ride out a tempest, it held, in
their eyes, e place of no mean import
ance. But the iron teeth that grinned
on the forts at the mouth of the Pisca
taqua had "hitherto- been:. an effectual
check upon their courage; Besides,
several thousand well-trained soldiers
had been collected. there, in anticipation
of an attack, and whola companies of
volunteers were daily arriving froth the
northern part of the state, and even from
the Green Mountains, panting with a
desire for a conflict. Portsmeuth, was:
under martial law. Its long rope-walks,
school—houses, and churches, were
crowded with . the bpne and muiele of-
New England, 'all deterniined - to defend
the place to the last extremity. The
sea shorn was Walked, for miles, night
and day, by a corps of sentinels,'and
every precaution taken to guard against
surgrise.
A notice of the approach of tiftWar
.
ships soon reached the town. - The tall.
flag staff thattad been placed near the
mouth of ~, , the river,. and was watched
continually from the steeples, was seen
to have been inclined- towards ths. sea
which was the signal of danger rimed
upon. And when the sun,werit down,
not knowing how imminent it might be,
the excitement that filled the place was
tremendous. 'There was mounting in
hot haste' and couriers dashed through
the, streets like the winds. Every cart
and, carriage„was,busy in removing the
women--and-valuables to a situation of

BREAD FROM BRAIN.
Mere the iron of our livei
Is wrought out, in bre and smoke,
There,the mighty Vulcan strives—
Hot the fbrnace, hard the stroke,
There the windy bellows blow,
There the sparks in millions glow,
There on anvil of the world,
Hard the labor ! small the gain
Is in making' bread from brain.
Where the nameless stone is raised,
Where the patriot's Mince were placed,
Lived helittle lcivedand praised.
Died he—little mourned and graced.
There he sleeps who knew no rest,
There lathiest by those he blest;
Here he starved While, smiting seed,
Where he starved.the worms now feed,
Herd the labor! small the gain
Is in making bread front brain.
In that chamber lone and drear,
Sits,the poet writing flowers,
Bringing heaven to earth more near,
Raining thoughts in dewy showers,
While signs of nectar rare,
Only is theinkbowl there;
Of feasts of gods he chants—high trust,
As he eats the moldy dust,
Hard the labor! small the gain
Is in making bread from brain.
When the prophet's - warning voice
Shouts the burden of the world,
Sackcloth robes mustbe his choice,
Ashes op. his head be hurled.
Where the tyrant lives at ease, '
Where false prieits dons they please,
lie is scorned and pierced inside,
lie is stoned and crueided,..,, -
Hard the labor! Small the gain
Is in making broad from brain.
Patriot! Poet! Prophet! feed
Only on the moldy crust;
Tyrant, fool and false priest need
All the crumb and scorn the just.
Lord ! how long! how long, oh Lord ?
Shall the world - withhold reward ?

Let Thy children eat who labor.

tap of the drum,or the first blast of the
bugle, to spring to - the defence.
The night gathered dark and chilly.
The heaven's looked' watery and were
filled with clouds of mist. 'A - -double
watch was set upon the outposts; , and
the soldiers lay down to dream of their
homes or of battling for its safety.
No sooner had the darkness begun to
settle on the sea, than boats just obsery
able through the twilight, were seen,
passing between the enemy's vessels,
and evidently bearing orders, from one
to the other and, maturing, their plans.
Through' ttie opened part-holes could
be seen, flying in all directions, and
there wps not one who saw these'move
merits that did not' feel the fate of
Portsmouth would be decided. before
morning. All along thii coast and On
every eminence commanding a view of
the vessels, were collected -little com
panies 9f *sspeculating watchers Pa a
little fevi,rods frOm the shore,
on the east side Of the river were gath
ered ten - or twelve men carefully noting
every motion that was visible, and lis
tening to every sound that cattle °lithe
waves.
"Is it not possible to know what is
the object' Orthose water coffins?" said
en old : gentleman while he strained his
eyes as the dark-neee grew deeper.
"It might be done," said a young man
whose face had been bronzed by a fa
miliarity with all weathers • "it .is near
ly dark enough. Come, Bill, what 'say
you? there won't be so much light as
&trans from a cat's eve in an hour; shall
we take a boat then, and, slip along
side?" pirt, as a stout fellow of thirty
was called, could not permit that a man,
Younger than himself, should propose a
deed he would shrink from executing,
and immediately signified his willing
ness to join in the almost reckless en
terprise. •
The night was cloudy, the darkness
had settled thick and heavy, the waves
looked !lice a black, undulating pall,
and as though to increase the awfulness
of their conditions, the. British had ex
tinguished their lights, soon.after the ad
venturers had launched the boat, and not
an object could be traced through the
almost palpable blackness, the bOat's
distant. They rowed in.silence for some
time, and had gone twn-thirds of the
distance before either spoke : "Are you
sure this, is the right .course, Ned?" at
length said' Bill, as they, rested on - their
oars.- ,"Httih.l speak lower. No, lam
not certain',. but we cannot -be , far from
them. If but one star would lookout,
it would be better-than this eternal
gloom. I cannot even see the lights on
the shore, through this fog. What •a
murky night we Are out in 1 Gloomy as
a grave-yard." "Hang the, British, I
had rather meet. a legion of.-them by
daylight," whispered Bill i moodily,_
~ ',"But hark I there they lay, dead, ahead,
add getting ready to <make a port-too,"
6 continued; as he heard.the lew,grat.
/no ef, a cable; as it was slowly.and cau.
.tiously drawn up..
.Lightly as theswellow's wing the oars
dipped into the brine, silently itS.the-fin
of a shark, the boat •cut the water, and
directed , ,by 'the, sound, ere_ the anchor
swung at the ,bow, they glided.unseen
under the very stern of the larger ves
sel..: Here They held` last - for several
minutes, in breathless .anxiety to catch
some word, which should reveal - the de
sired secret. -But the humming of voi
ces; out' of which nothing distinct could
be gattiered,was mingled with the winds,
sighing through the rigging, and the
dashiing•of the waves against the huge
fabric.
With their patience nearly worn out,
Ned- at length whispered, "Bill, if you
can keep your hold I will go abroad and
get a full report of these vill'ains' busi
ness." The latter was about to reply,
when they heard hurried motions on the
deck, a large boat was let down, and a
dozen men, all of whom by the faint
light of a lantern, they discovered to be
armed, pushed off toward the - shore that
lies south of the'Piscataqui.
Scarcely had they gone,' thin Ned,
with the assistance of a rope, that drag
ged in the water, climbed to the deck.
The watch was grouped beside -a-gun
-carriage, and Ned, as confidently as
though, he'had Amen one: of, the crew,
walked by;:.and reaching :the hatchway,
descentied to the lower deck. Here he
found himself among several , hollered
men, a" - part of whom were in their ham
mocks. but others although it _was dark
as a dungeon, ; appeared ; to be arranging
their clothes and, preparing for some
desperate enterprise. _
- Almost 'lost in the confueion, he stood

and he felt there

But when lie reached the hatChway, he
found the passage.entirely closed by - two
old 'veterans, half intoxicated, who had
settled themselves there to lave a luiet
timeat lauding Old England and curs
ing the Yankees. Ned stood by, en
tirely invisible, but necessarily hearing
every word. At was nearly an heur that
he stood waiting for them to rise, and
listening to , their outbreaks of passion
concerning the Americans.
"Their men are no bolder than our
women,.and their gutts no better than
tin horns"
,said one gifufliy. "No,
Jack," said the other, and do you know
that, once on.a time, about twenty of
our gals, °n i che coastof Curnwall,dress
ed like sailors, put off' in a gun boat,
and took possession of .a Yankee seven

not bear such slander, and regardless of

lie, you old,-dog."' Beth.sailors, shock
ed as though the magazine had expfod
ed, pinned towards him, and, awaken
ed to a sense of Ilia situatien by his own
voice, Ned sprang out a' their reach,
and as soon as the,uProar had, in some
degree,, subsided, made his way on deck.
But here an unexpected event occurred.
The boat which had left before he came
aboard had just returned, and the crew,
when he stepped on deck, were in the
act of lifting up a pris(trier.,, Determin
ed, if possible, to know wlin it might
be, he elbowed his way into the group
with admirable coolness, and succeeded
in taking an arm of the prisoner,—
Wilde notice of their succesi was pass
ed below, =Ned found oriportunity to
whisper a word of encouragement in the
poor fellow's ear, and when the order
was given that he should be conducted
to the cabin, Ned, unobserved, stole aft
and dropped into the boat.
The prisoner found the cabin furnish.
ed in an elegant, even sumptuous yle.
Sofas, book-cases and tables 'of the cost
liest woods, rested on a carpet that trod
like velvet. Mirrors of enormous di
mensions, reflected the occupants at full
lengtl„ on every side. A lamp hung
above_ a rack that looked like a dazzling
pyramid, so rich were the polished sword
blades and jeweled hilts, the silver scab
bards, the varnished pistols, the steel sa
bres and the gins _ ,touched with the
highest finish thatkill could give them.
Flower vases, filled with beautiful ex
otics, were faitened to a 'stand, dins.:
ing an agreeable odor through the cab
in. An old man with snow-white hair
and thoughtful brow, sat in an antique
chair of carved-oak, and fashioned after
such a luxurious pattern that one might
have lounged his life out in it, and net , .
er grown weary. A girl, the (laughter
of the old man, with such an innocent
and sweet countenance as can belong
only to a pure mind, and with lips as
- -
tempting as her own " rese-bnds, was
reading when they entered. The pris
oner was brought before the hard-featur
ed veteran, and the officers arranged
themselves about at respectful dis

look, "remember,-it is the truth of what

presence, will cause you to be hung int
mediately at the' yard-arm.'
"Who are you ?"-
"A. soldier in the American army."
"And, what duty were you performing
on shore 1"
"That of a sentinel to watch for the
approach of the murdering British 1"
"Bridle your inaolence, young man ;
you did not perform your duty so well
that you can' finest of your -occupation."
"Ask your officer which was hardest,
his head or my gun-stock. I could not
dissolve the night, but I swept aside the
co.b•.webs that clouded the stars before
his eyes!"
"Sir," said the veteran, in a voice
hoarse with anger, which he strove to
conceal, "What is the force assembled
this night in Portsmouth I Recollect
that I shall knOvv before morning, and
if you deceive me you shall die. at day
break."
"This morning it was proclaimed that
it numbered thirty thousand, and they
have five hundred cannon in the town,
ready to blow your old hulks out of the
water, like cockle shells, if you are so
fortunate as to float after the forts have
the sifting of you.."
The old commander clenched his fist,
his face grew white' as his cravat, and
he would have ordered the fearless sol
dier to instant punisment, for his bold
reply, had not his daughter, who • had
stolen to his side, pressed his arm, and
breaking into tears, whispered mercy.
An angel's tears will melt iron ; or, at
all - events,'an iron soul, and his coun
tenance lost its sternness as he gently
put her aside and .directed that the sol
dier should be secured, and guarded on
the deck for the night.
As, he left the cabin, the girl, unseen
14 . het-father, threw her shawl about the
soldier's shoulders, and he touched-by
so unlooked for kindness, murmured a
fervent blessing upon her, young heart.

his unaided efforts Ned,
having again left his boat, crouched
like a panther near the stern, and waited
a fit time to spring and rescue him; and
it was when the sentinel passed him to
go to the bows that be glided to the
prisoner—with a thrust of his knife,
severed the cords that bound him to the
gun, and lifting him in his argils as
though he were an infant, hastened to
"the stern and swung into the boat. As
for life, they plied their oars, but they
had scarcely left the ship when they
heard.the alarm given upon its decka.--.
calls for lights and shouts that the prig.
otter had escaped, followed. Lanterns
flew through the ship, anditll was chg.
fusion. The bold. fellows in the boat
saw all, and felt, in that deep darkness,
that it was impossible for the British to
overtake them;, and althOugh within
pistol shot, they were unable to restrain
their joy, but with that fearlessness that
characterises American sailors, rested
on their oars and gave three hearty
cheers. Scarcely had the last tutus
left their lips; than a stream of fire shot
out from the ship, and the deep boom
of a cannon awakened them to their for
iy. Though fired at random, they heard
the ball whistle by, very near them.—
The boatswain's shrill call to quarters
rose on the night, and the sailors ex
pecting an attack every moment, rushed
to defend their decks.
Our heroes reached the shore safely,
and the sentinel, released of hit shack
les, was ready to resume his arms and
his duty. The night passed heavily and
in suspense, but in the morning the sun
rose from his bed, looking clear and
cold as an icicle. The sea was blue
but calm, and every ship was gone, and
not a speck dotted it from the shore to
the horizon. The British had given
over all attempts on Portsmouth, but
whether restrained by the crafty story
of the trusty sentinel, or the valiant
cheering of the men in the boat, will,
perhaps, ever be a point in dispute.

The Deed Scott Case*
THE orricat REPORT
Continued from last week's issue
it is impossible, it would seem to be
lieve that the great men of the slave
holding States, who took so large a abate
in framing the constitution of the Unit•
ed States, and exercised so much indu.
ence.in procuring its adoption, could
haVe beery so forgetfull or regardless of
their own Safety and the safety of thosie
who trusted and confided in them.
Besides, this want of foresight and
care would have been utterly inconsist
ent with the - caution displayed in provi
ding for the admission of new members
into this political family; for when they
gave to the citizens of each State the
privileges and immunities of citizens in
the several States, they at the same time
took from the several States the power of
naturalization, and confined that power
exclusively to the federal government.
No State was willing to permit another
Stateto determine who should or should
not be admitted as one of its citizens,
and entitled to demand equal rights and
`privileges with their own people within
their =own territories_ The right of nat.
uralization was, therefore, with one ac.
cord, surrendered by the Stales, and con
fided to the federal government. And
this power granted to Congress to es
tablish an uniform rule of naturalisation
is, by the well-understood meaning of
the word, confined to persons born in a
foreign country, under a foreign govern.
ment. It is not a power to raise to the
rank of a citizen any one born in the
United States, who from birth or par
entage, by the laws of the country, be•
longs to an inferior and subordinate class
and when we find the States guarding
themselves from the indiscreet, or im
proper admission by other Statle.pf em
igrants from other countries, Ity.4iving
the power exclusively to Congress, we
cannot fail to see that they could never
have left with the States a much more
important power—that is, the power of
transforming into citizens a numerous
class of persons, who in that character
would be much more dangerous to the
peace and safety of a large portion of
the Union than the few foreigners one
of the States might improperly natural.
ize. The constitution upon its adop
tion obviously took from the States all
power by any subsequent legislation to
introduce as a citizen into the political
family to the United Utates any one, no
matter where he was- born, or what
might be his eharaciir or condition ;
and it gave to Congoss tire power to
confer this character upon those only
who were born outside of the dominions
of the United States; ani no law of li tt
State, therefore, i gassethkr . ice the con
stitution was adopted, can give any right
of citizenship outside of its own terri
tory.
A clause similar to the one in the
constitution,, in relation to the rights
and immunities of citizens of one State
in the other States, was contained in-the
Articles of. Confederation. But there
is a difference of language, which is
worthy :of note. The provision in the
Articles of Confederation vvas,'"that the
free inhabitants .of each of the States,
phuperre, vagabon l as,:and.fugittves from
justiCe excepted,should be entitled to all
ihe` privileges and immunities of free
'citizens in the-several States."
It Will be obterved - that, under - this
Confederation, each State had the right
to decide for itself, and in its own trib
unals whom it would acknowledge as
a freeinhabitant of another State. The
tertiffreAin4abit'ditt . ,. in. the generality
