" Fuss and Feathers."
BY RODXAC.
T UNE — Old Dan Tucker.
At Lundy's Lane the person tall
Of Scott seen tow'ring 'bove them all,
Afforded a conspicuous mark
For British balls aim'd at the heart.
Hurrah for Scott, the hero fam'd !
Hurrah fur Scott, the hero fam'd !
Hurrah for Scott, the hero fam'd !
The hero, "Fuss and Feathers" nam'd !
Tho' two fine horses under Scott,
Were shot and killed he fainted not ;
When shot himself on side and shoulder,
It only made the hero bolder.
Hurrah for Scott, &c.
The fav'rite plume well deekM and high,
And quite conspicuous to the eye,
On Scott, the tallest of the tall,
Was stricken off by British ball.
Hurrah for Scott, &c.
Twice shot himself-—two horses dead—
His plume knoek'd off—he rushed ahead,
So fiercely that John Bull, the pursy,
Aliftrned, thought Scott a little fussy.
Hurrah for Scott, &e.
Our hero rush'u his men to lead,
Against our foes with daring speed,
Until he saw the battle gain'd;
Then Scott they "Fuss and Feathers" nam'd.
Hurrah for Scott, &c.

I.undy's I.ane Scott Meeting.
There has been a general desire manifested
in New York, Ohio and Michigan, to unite in
a grand mass meeting in commemoration of
the brilliant achievements of WIN FIELD SCOTT
on the bloody field at Lundy's Lane; and the
Whig Committee of Niagara county, New
York, have accordingly entered upon arrange
ments for such a meeting to be held on the
battle ground on the ficenitj-sevcnth of the
present month. The anniversary of the bat
tle is on the 25th ; but as that happens to be
Sunday, it was deemed advisable to hold the
meeting on the 271h. That it will be an
immense gathering, there remains no doubt.
Thousands and thousands will be there from
Ohio, Michigan, and other States bordering
upon the Lakes; and New York will have a
representation to make it perhaps the largest
political meeting ever held on this continent.
The Buffalo Express thinks that the gallant
old chief could, with propriety, take this oc
casion to revisit the scenes of his early tri
umph, and thus enable thousands of his ar
dent friend- and oid companions in arms, to
<-njov the pica- ore of n personal interview on
the spot, made famous by his deeds. Should
it become known that he will be there, acres
of friends from all parts of the country will
be there, and mingle their shouts of greeting
with the roar of the mighty cataract in the
neighborhood.
"The world hits witnessed niighti-ruvmles,"
says Manslioht, in bis account of that battle,
" moved uvef more memorable fields, and fol
lowpd bv louder iiut\s ..f the iar resounding
trumpet of fume; but a bloodier scene for
those engaged, a severer trial of courage and
of discipline, the world has not seen. Hard
by was that cataract, whose world of waters
rushes orer the precipice, and rushing, runs
into the gulf be low |
With the darkness cgm n the greater rage of
battle—charg" after charge was made. For
i; time tiie faint beams of the moon struggled
with tie- smoke, and gave a little !i<_ht to the
combatants, but it was little, The moon
iia>i: became obscured, and no light, save the
rapid flashes of the mn-kets and cannon,
pierced the lilac'; cloud","
It was an awful nighr, Hand to hand, and
bayonet t<> bavonet, fierce men struggled, bled
and died with the gloomy horrors of the
night for their shroud, and the roar of the
cataract and of Icyttle for their requiem.
The events of that sanguinary field shed a
halo of glory on the pro won; id' American
arms. The proud, defiant boast of the haugh
ty Briton, that he had never mat his match in
a hand to hand fight was humbled. Gener
al Scott, then a stripling in his 28th vear,
v-dth now troops and inferior numbers, drove
the best veterans of Groat Britain from their
p.-sition, and captured their guns bv the point
of the bayonet. He was the idol of the
American army. His genius, skill, bravery,
generosity and soldier-like bearing inspired
every man with bravery and love for their
young chivalrous chief. His trumpet voice
was heard above the roar and surge of buttle.
He was the soldier, beau-ideal of a warrior ;
and with him a- a leader, death had no ter
rors.
At the close of that tinm ensanguined con
flict, he was carried from the field literally
cut to piece* with grape shot r.nd bayonet
thrusts. Ijis clothes were riddled with bul
lets, his tall plume was shot from his head,
and two horse* acre killed under hiin. But
he fought it out, until victory perched upon
the Yankee Eagle, without fainting. Gen.
Hcott never faints in the hour of danger.
MURDER,
A most shocking and cold Mooded murder
was perpetrated on Shaver's Creek, on Thurs
day last. The particulars, as far as we have
been able to learn, are as follows: A young
man named Thomas Steward and another
named Lightner were working in a harvest
field, together with a number of other persons,
when a trifling controversy arose between
them, as to which could mow the fastest.—
Lightner said, ' 1 can mow faster than any
Lightner of the name. 1 can mow as fast as
Tom Stewart can walk.' Stewart said, ' that
is an insult'—send immediately took up a
scythe and ran Lightner through the body.—
The scythe penetrated his side about the re
gion of the stomach, coming out on the op
posite side, a little higher up. He died in less
than half an hour. Immediately after inflict
ing the mortal wound, Stewart, without wait
ing to withdraw the scythe ran to the woods
and escaped. He was taken and lodged in
jail, on Sunday afternoon. We learn that he
is a young man about 18 years of age!—
Huntingdon Globe.
BOBBERY,
Mr. Ilenrv Harbison, of Woodberry Town
ship, in this county, was robbed of S4OO, on
Thursday night last, while going from Wil
liamsburg to his own home—in the country.
He had been to the East, and was compelled
to go home after night, for which purpose he
provided a lantern, and when a short distance
from town he was attacked by four men, and
rifled of the amount stated above. The light
was taken out of his hands, and ho secured
by the robbers, but without rendering him
any bodily ha-m. Being an old man, he was
unable to distinguish who the robbers were.

J A Voice from a descendant of General Wash
ington in favor of General Scott.
tetter from the lion. George C. Washing
ton.
I have seen in the prints the proceedings
of the American National Convention, which
assembled at Trenton, New Jersey, on the sth
instant, from which it appears that I was
nominated for the office of Vice President of
the United States. No official communica
tion of the fact has been received by me, and
it any such was made it has miscarried. My
name having been thus unexpectedly presented
to the country, 1 cannot longer consent to re
main silent, and therefore adopt this mode of
responding to the nomination.
1 apt highly honored in being deemed
worthy of such distinction, and by having
my name associated with that of the eminent
and revered citizen selected by the Conven
tion for the office of President of the United
States.
The Baltimore Whig Convention has pre
sented to the nation, as candidates for the
same offices, the names of Wintield Scott
and Win. A. Graham. These nominations
received my cordial assent, as they will my
zealous support,
I have been on terms of friendly inter
course with Gen. Scott for twenty years, and
esteem him for his spotless character, and his
frank, manly, and courteous bearing. 1 re
spect him for talents often severely tested,
but which never failed him under the most
trying circumstances; and 1 admire him for !
his military services, by which the character j
of his country has been elevated at home and j
abroad, and been equalled by those of no :
man living or dead since the days of the
Revolution.
He has freely shed his blood in maintain
ing the honor of his country, and her rights.
Ills patriotic devotion to the Union, conser
vative principles, and firm support of the
Compromise measures, cannot in my belief,
be questioned without doing him great wrong
and injustice.
Mr. Graham is wholly unexceptionable, :
being respected for his talents and esiocmed i
for his virtues by all who know him.
Entertaining these opinions of the candi
dates of the \Y hig National Convention, and j
being fully and willingly committed to their :
support, I aip constrained most respectfully '
to decline the nomination of the American !
\ atiuud Convention.
