" Fuss and Feathers."
BY RODXAC.
TCXE— OId Van Tucker.
At Lundv's Lane the person tall
Of Seott "seen tow'ring 'bove them all,
Atforded a conspicuous mark
For British halls aim'd at the heart.
Hurrah for Scott, the hero fam'd!
Hurrah for 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 Seott, fce.
The fav'rite plume well deek'd and high,
And quite conspicuous to the eye,
On Scott, the tallest of the tall,
Al as stricken oft' by British ball.
Hurrah for Scott, &c.
Twice shot himself—two horses dead—
His plume knock'd off—he rushed ahead,
So fiercely that John Bull, the pursy,
Ahfi'med, thought Scott a little fussy.
Hurrah for Scott, &e.
Our hero rush'd 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, &e.

Luudv's Fane 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 W INFIELD SCOTT
on the bloody field at Lundv'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 twenty-seventh of the
present month. The anniversary of the bat
tle is on the 2">th ; but as that happens to be
Sundav, it was deemed advisable to hold the
meeting on the 27th. 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 old companions in arms, to
fiijov the pleasure of a 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 hrts witnessed mighti--rarmies,"
savs Mansfield, in his account ol that battle,
"moved over more memorable fields, and fol
lowiiti bv louder notes of the iar resounding
trumpet of fame; but a bloodier scene for
those engaged, a severer trial of courage and
of discipline, the world has not seen. Hard
bv was that cataract, whose world of waters
lushes over tin precipice, and rushing, runs
into the gulf below .'
With the darkness qin" the greater rage of
battle —ttharg" after charge was made. For
n time the faint learns of the moon struggled
with the smoke, and gave a little light to the
combatants, but it was little. The moon
ito(f became oh -cured, and no light, save the
rapid flashes of the muskets and cannon,
pierced the black clouds,"
It was an awfi',l nigl.r. Hand to hand, and
bayonet to bayonet, fierce men struggled, bled
arid died wiih the gloomv horrors of the
night for their shroud, and the roar of the
cataract and of battle for their rerjuiem.
The events of that sanguinary ti> Id shod a
halo of glory ort the prowess of American
arms. The proud, defiant boast of the haugh
ty Briton, that he had never met his match in
u hand to hand fight was humbled. Gener
al Scott, then a stripling in his 28th voar,
with new troop* and inferior numbers, drove
the best veterans of 'treat Britain from their
position, arid captured their guns by the point
(f the bayonet. He was the idol of the
American army. His genius, skill, bravery,
generosity and soldier-like bearing inspired
tvery man with bravery and love for their
voung chivalrous chief. Hss trumpet voice
was heard above the roar and surge of battle.
He was the soldier, bean-idea! 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 carnal from the field literally
tut to piece*; with grape shot an 4 bayonet
thrusts, ii is clothes were riddled with bul
lets, his tail plume was shot from his head,
and two hor&ofc ware hilled under him. But
he fought it out, until victory perched upon
the Yankee Eagle, without fainting. Gen.
Bcott never faints in the hour of danger.
MURDEP.i
A most shoeking and cold blooded murder
was perpetrated on Shaver sCreek, on Ihurs
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 hart est
field, together with a number of other persons,
when a trifling controversy arose between
them, as to which could mow the fastest. —
Lightner said, 4 1 can mow foster than any
Lightner of the name. 1 cau ruow as fast as
Tom Stewart can walk.' .Stewart said, 4 that
is an insult' —and immediately took up a
scythe and ran Lightner through the body.—
The sevthe penetrated his side about the re
gion of the stomach, coming out on the op
posite side, a little higher up. lie 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, lie 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. Henrv Harbison, of Wood berry Town
ship, in this county, was robbed of $-100, on
Thursday night last, while going from W il
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 ha secured
by the robbers, but without rendering him
any bodily ha v m. Being an old man, he was
unable to distinguish who the robbers were.

A Voice from a descendant of General Wash
ington in favor of General Scott.
tetter from tlie Hon. 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
if any such was made it lias miscarried. My
name having been thus unexpectedly presented
to the country, I cannot longer consent to re
main silent, and therefore adopt this mode of
responding to the nomination.
I am highly honored in being deemed
worthy of such distinction, and by having
my name associated with that of tfie eminent
and revered citizen selected by the Conven
tion for the office of President of tfie United
States.
The Baltimore Whig Convention has pre
sented to the nation, as candidates for the
same offices, the names of Wintield Scott
and Wm. 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
fntnk, manly, and courteous bearing. I re
spect him fur talents often severely tested,
but which never failed him under the most
trying circumstances; and I admire him for
his military services, by which the character
cf his country has been elevated at home and
abroad, and been equalled by those of no
man liv ing or dead since the days of the
Revolution.
He has freely shed his blood in maintain
ing the honor of bis country, and her rights.
His 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 esteemed
for his virtues by all who know him.
Entertaining these opinions of the candi
dates of the W big National Convention, and
being fujlv and willingly committed to their
support, I am constrained most respectfully
to decline the nonfmatian of the American
National Convention.

is better known as a Whig."
