Vananglen was not only guilty of abuse of power, but manifested a malevolence of temper scarcely to be equalled. Though ffie General will never countenance soldiers in disrespectful behavior to officers, and will entertain a poor opinion of an officer--that suffers himself to be insulted without immediately chastising the soldier who may attempt it, yet he can never suffer officers to beat or abuse soldiers wantonly—blows should never be given except they are neces sary to the preservation of order and discipline, and then unaccompanied with those marks of cruelty and malevolence which were apparent in the whole of Mr. Vananglen's conduct; what renders his behaviorstill more criminal is, that he was anon-commissioned officer whom he made the object of his inhumanity ; and had it been a private soldier, the treatment could not admit of the least justificatan. Capt. Vananglen is released from his arrest, and cau tioned against similar conduct in future. A board of field officers. whereof Col. Cort land was President, appointed to settle the rank of bents.

Ihe General asitures them it is impossible to be opposed with equal numbers, and he dint if ever their number were equal they could not withstand the bravery and disci pline of the troops he has the honor to cum wand. It ought nevertheless to be remembered that they are a shrewd, desultory and rabid ene- - my, seizing every advantage, and availing themselves of every defeat on our part.— Though they can never withstand the shock of brave and resolute troops, yet should we be - so unattentive to-•our own safety as to give way before them, they become the most dangerous and destructive enemy that can possibly be. conceived. - They following fugitives with all the unrelenting hate of prevailing cowards, and are not satisfied with slaughter until they have totally destroyed their opponents ;—it there fore becoMes every" officer and soldier to re. solve never to fly before such an enemy, but determine either to conquer or perish. which will ever ensure success. -The General does riot mention these things under theleast ap prehension of whether offiiers or soldiers feel. ing it any part of their duty, but that,every one may go into action. with the same spirit. and ilitermination : should this happily he the case. nothing but an uncommon frown of Pro vidence can prevent us fror; “to- `nc• cess which will render prase our frontiers 4 and affurd everlawlrz bo•per to all concerned.

One evening, et a party, he formed an acquaintance with an old looking German nobleman, who seemed quite pleased with the conversation and bearing of the gentleman Yankee. A few days allprwards, his friend, the American consul, put in his hands a note. written oo embossed, gilt-edged paper, (not so common in those days as now.) and with ar moreal bearings on the seal. •• What's in the wind, now ?" exclaimed the Yankee with a look of surprise, as he drew of his kid gloves and opened the note. An invitation from Count Wogonstroffsky to dine, I expect," replied the worthy consul. " I believe it is," remarked Simcox, with a smile which soon changed into a terrible frown as he read these words-- 6.

It is expected that Captain Simeox wilt not make his appearance at table withnut his shirt—as ladies will be present. A dtcl: T y alone will not do."

Saying this, the redoubtable Sim. cox seized his cane, a rattan switch', ' with a convulsive grasp, and was about to sally forth in quest of Count Wogonstrcffsky. The Consul, with a quiet smile, saw the exciting effect which .was produced by the harmless looking missive. Stop," said hei as he gently laid his hand on the arm of his !Fiend.... What is the'matter ?" "The scoundrel!" sputtered the furious Yankee, •• the sour-crout-eating, gin-drinking Hessian sends me an invitation to dinner, and says that as ladies will be present, I must not come without my shirt Let ofe go, my friend.

I have a little story to tell you, which may possibly account for the Count's singularmessage, that has so very naturally excited your choler. After you have heard what I have to say, if yon are determin ed to give the Count a threshing—why peg away, that's all Captain Simcox, with a dogged air, turned round, looked in his friend's face, which was lighted up by a meaning smile, and threw him self on an ottoman, saying---•• you are right— there's no hurry—l can flog the rascal as well an hour hence as now—so heave ahead, my fine fellow, as there is scarcely no time,to be Inst.

Now Captain Crabtree had a very neat dickey in his trunk. dickey, as every one knows, is. or was a shirt bosom, with a hand some shirt collar attached, and would serve on a pinch as a very good apology for a shirt— indeed dandies in those days often dispensed with:a shirt for weeks and months together.— Crabtree, with a degree Or presence of mind and fruitfulness of expedtents, which were characteristic of that worthy seamen, resolved to fret himself no longer for the absent thin. but to make the dickey do doutle duty on the important occasion. .' . , .. • • He arrayed himself accordingly. loriked in his glass, and admired his appearance: He felt cool and comfortable, too—and that was something gained on a sultry day in July. He even began to entertain the idea of discarding altogether, as superfluous, that article of dress which he had hitherto { considered indispensa hte, especially when in full dress. In the meantime, as he had a strange habit of throw ing off his coat when oppressed with heat. without much regard to his company Or cir cumstances;he took the precahtion to prevent such an occurrence on the present occasion, by stitching his coat and his black velvet vest together. At the appointed hour. Captain Crabtree entered the mansion of the German nobleman, where he was received with Marked courtesy by the Count, and introduced; to a good com pany of ladies and gentlemen, principally na tives of Denmark. Crabtree understood no language but his mother tongue, but by dint of a tolerable assurance and emphatic gestures, he got along, tolerably well. Dinner passed off—and the wine, as is usual abroad, circula ted freely. Crabtree found himself somewhat in a melting mood, and soon ceased to remem ber the peculiarity of his costume. When dinner was over, he was bhallenged by a lady to play a game of billiards. The greater part of the company adjourned to the billiard room, to be witnesses of the game— and the captain,,after a few uusuccessfbl strokes with his cue, involuntarily essayed to throw off his coat, declaring that he could never play well with, that heavy garment on. The coat clung with a sort of fraternal affection to the vest, but the impetuous sailor could not take the hint, or brook delay. Another desperate effort, a couple of buttons gave way, and the coat and vest being unwilling to part company, were both stripped off, and thrown triumphant ly on a chair ! when lo ! the captain stood in the midst of the assembly, grasping his cue with a business-like air, and arrayed as if for a pugillistic contest in the prize-ring! . A scream from the ladies, and some emphat ic exclamations from the gentlemen, firs! re minded the forgetful sailor that something was wrong. Ile glanced at his bare arms, then caught a view of his whole person in a large mirror. and the truth rushed upon his mind like a flash of lightning. The dickey was do ing all it could to - supply the 'plays of a more simple garment. hut it was wofully deficient in dime i sions—and to the astonished captain. seemed s runk to half its usual size! Captai Crabtree - dropped his cue, gave a 1 sort of convulsive jump, which would do credit to a- harlequin vaulter, uttered a loud demi savage salt-water' howl, which was heard a mile off, and scampered down stairs into the street, regardless of the bluithes of the ladies. or the storm of hisses and revilings from the scandalized gentlemen. He stopped not. but flew through the streets like a frightened mad man, while the wondring, populace, shouted and clapped their hands, or sprang aside to give him a fair field for his race. This oily added to his speed. and in a few minutes he was snugly moored in Intestate room, on hoard his good ship, with the, door closed behind him, and securely bolted. The flig,ht.of Cap tain Crabtree was a theme of story and song for a month afterward—and those who beheld it, will never forget it 'until their dying day. As for Count WogonstroffskY; he hardly knew what to make of it—at first, he' was/dis posed to resent it as . 4 deliberate ' affront, and sent Crabtree a polite' and'. preising invitation to meet him in the Deer, Park, to settle' the affair with pistol , ..

But there are many who seem discontented wish the endearments of a rural life, and sigh for the pent-up atmosphere of a crowded city. Tosuch we would say, shake off the delusion! The gilded drapery of fashion, the pride, and pomp of gloated wealth may, for a moment, dazzle the eye, but when we look around us for the comforts and quietude of our peaceful cottage, we will soon perceive that those trap pings cannot give ease to an aching breast, or slumber to a troubled conscience.

Who would not live in such a country !—Valley Farmer. [From the Cultivator.] Fattening animal'. There are some rules which may be advan tageously adopted in feeding animals,- which, however obvious they may be, are too often passed over or neglected.. Some of these will be specified ; and Ist. The preparation of food. This should be so prepared that its nutritive properties may be all made available to the use of the animal, and not only so, but appropriated with the least possible expenditure of muscular energy. The ox that is obliged to wander over an acre to get the food he should find on two or three square rods ; the horse that is two or three hours eating the coarse food he would swallow in fifteen minutes if the grain was ground, or the hay cut as it should be—the sheep that spends hours making its way into a turnip, which if it was sliced,-it would eat in as many minutes ; the pig that eats raw potatoes or whole corn, when either cooked. could be eat en in one quarter the time now used. may in indeed fatten much less rapidly than if their food was given , them in a proper manner. All lood should be given to a fattening animal in such a state, that as little time slid labor as pos sible, on the part of the animal, shall be requi red in eating. 2d. The Mod should he in advance. From the time the fattening•process commences, un til the animal is slaughtered, he should never be without food. Health • rid appetite ate best promoted by change of food rather than by limiting the quantity. The animal that is stuff ed and starved by turns, may have streaked meat, but it will be made too slowly for the pleasure or profit of the good farmer. 3d. The food should be given regularly. This is one of the most essential points in feeds Mg animals. if given irregularly, the animal indeed consumes his-food, but he soon acquires a restleps disposition. is unseasonably disturb ed, or their quiet broken by unwonted invite-. lion to eat. 4th. The animal should not be needlessly intruded upon during the hours of feeding.— All creatures fatten much faster in the dark than in the light, a fact only to be accounted for by their greater quiet, Some disturbed at every appearance of , his feeder, and -is never in that quiet state so necessary to the taking on of fat.. It is surprising how readily an animal acquires habits of regularity .in feeding, and howsoon the influence of this is felt in the improvement of hie constitution. When. at the regular hour the pighas had his pdddingt 'or the sheep itetuthips, they compile them selves to rest, and those creatures that are the most irritable and impatient Of restraint while fietlitig,,snch turkeys and geese, ate found to take on fat rapidly when 'confined in dark roonis;'und only led at stated hntira by -hand.
