G. WaiTTiEit.i SEA SKETCH. | " 4 During the summer of 1814, the British had not duly!laid claim to all that portion of the District |of Mains lying east of the Penobscot, 1 bat Admifal Griffith and Sir John Sherbrooke, the lattjer being then the Governor of Nova Sebtia, hpd been a heavy forceto take possession of Castine, which place commanded the entrance to the Penobscot river. Shortly before the arrival of the English squadron, Commodore Samuel Tucker l bad been sent* around eo Penobscot Bay to protect Jha Ameri can coasters there, and while the British sailed up to Coptine, he lay with his vessel at Thom aston. j. ’ It was a schooner that the Commodore com manded,! but she w.as a heavy one, and well armed and manned; .and ,thgt . she carried tlu> true “ yknkef gi|t”‘hpoh her decks, the enemy had received tooAnany proofs. On the taoro ing of tile 28th 6i August a messenger came down from Belfast with the intelligence that the British frigate was coming from Castine to take hinf. Tucker knew that the ißmisb feared him, Sir John Sherbrooke had offered a large ajmount for his capture. Whenjthe Commodore receive;! the intelli gence, bis vessel was tying at one of the low wharves j where he would be obliged- to wait hearty tiro bolirs for the tide to set him off.— But he Hastened to have everything prepared to get off as soon us possible, for jbe had no de sire to Meet the frigate. > 1 The sghopner’s keel was just cleared : from the nuucL'and one of tbe men bad been sent upon tha wharf to cast off the bow-line, when a wngort drawn by one horse came rattling down- to ibe spot. The driver, a rough-looking countryman, got out upon the Wharf, and then assisted'a middle-aged lady from the vehicle. The ladyS’a first, inquiry was for Commodore Tucker.J He was pointed ,out tp. her, and .she stepped jupon the schooner’s deck and ap proached! him. ■ • -• A ■ - - “ Comfaodore,”. she asked; “ when do yon sail frpmlhere ?” ■" “ Right off—as soon as possible, madam 1” “O, tijen, I know you'will'be kind to me,” the ! la'dySurged in persuasive tones. “My poor bus band .died yesterday, and I wish to carry his corpffi to Wiscasset, where wo belong, and where hi i parents will take care of it.” , “But,.my good woman,,! shan’t go to Wis asset.” ‘ t i . “ If you only land me -at tbe mouth of the Sheepscc|t, I will ask 'no more. I can easily find a boht to take me up.” “ Wheie is the bony ?” asked Tucker. ”In the wagon,” replied tbe lady, at the same time raising the corner of her shawl, to wipe awjay the gathering tears, ” I have a-, small sum of money with me, sir, and you shall be pdid fi)r your trouble.” , “ IVtJtut, woman ; if I accommodate yon, there won’t be any pay about it." - The kind-hearled old Commodore was not tbe man to rfcfuse.a favor, and though he liked not the hotbdr of taking she'woman and her strange accompaniment on bparn, yet he could" not-re fusej. anti when he'told her he would do as she had,requested, she thanked him with tears in her eyes.* ’ ' 1 ■• / Some df tho men ■were sent upon the wharf to bring -khe body on board. A long buffalo robe was|lifted off by the man who drove the tbe wagdn, and beneath it appeared a neat black cofln. Some words were passed by the seamen ap they bore the.coffin on board, which went to ihow pretty' plainly .that the , affair didn’t exactly suit them. - It may bare been but prejudice on .their part, bnt yetjseamen should bd allowed a prejudice once in a While, when wejeonsider the many stern realities they have to encounter. ', ■ ' “ Hush* my good men," said the Commo dore, as lie heard their murmured remonstran ces. “Suppose some of you w' from hom|es— would you not wisl .remains might be carried lo you: 'dome, bukry now.” '. Tfaff man Said no more, and en was placed in' the hold, and th shown to ibe cabin. In less thr the schoojher was cleared from standing put of the bay. ■ la the ivening the lady passe _ deck,aa4 the Commodore fissured her that he should to land her early ort the next taernipg. She ezptemt her gratitude and satisfaction, and remarked that before sho're tlred she Should like to look and see that her tusband’f; Corpse was safe. This was granted,, .and one the men lifted off the hatch that she might go Mown into tho hold. ■ i “ I declare,” 'muttered Daniel Carter, an old; sailor whp had the wheel, 11 she takes on .drOadr ftilly," J ■ . - ■ ■ “ Yes4pbor thing,” responded Tueker, as he heard the woman's sobs and gleans. ■ D’ye notice what an eye she’s got ?” coc tinaed Carton “No,” .said the Commodore, “only that it was ewol enwitb tears.” ’ .! •“ My e ! But they shone though, when she stood here looking at thecompass.” - Tuckei sniilednt the man’s quaint earnest neB», ahd without further remark .ho went down to the cabin.

Call somebody, to tho wheel, ah’ let’s} go an look at that coffin.” , I The Commodore was woni'er-struck by wbat he bad “heard ; but,, with that calm presence of mind which made him what, he was; be sat coolly to thinking. In a,few moments,he called one of the men aft,to relieve Garter,’ and then he wpnt down into the cabin tp look after hip passenger. , The olaUei bad turned in and eeeined iota, shoring. Tiick’er returned to the deck and took Carter one side. 1 ‘ “ No noise, now, Carte.rj but follow me as though nothing bad happened.”' ,;.‘.Siiriiri,” responded Dan. The two n'ppfpached the main hatch, and Carter stooped to raise it, when his' hand, pouched a small ball that seeniedto bavh been ‘pinned up. under the after Break of the hatch. “ It’s a ball of twine” sold Dpn. “ Don’t touch it; but run and get a lantern,” replied Tucker. [ , . Carter’sprang tc 4 obey, and when he returned, a number, of men had gathered about the spot. The botch was raised, and the ’Commodore carefully picked up the' ball of twine, and found_that it was made fast to'something be low. '-ile descended to the hold, and'there he found that the twine fan in beneath the lid of! the coffin. He had no doubt in his min'd that there was mischief boxed up before him, and be sent C ar t® r for something that, might an swer for a screw-driver. .The man soon re turned with a stout knife* and the Commodore set to work. ; He worked very carefully, how ever, and kept a bright look-out for the string} , At length the screws, were all out, and- the lid was very carefully lifted from its'^laco. “Great God in Heaven !” bursftfom the lips of the Commodore. “By.

Road, where they fell in with some rebels, and five of their nuraberwas miss ing, the next-morning at roll call; and on their return to Camp-in the evening, they fell in with our,pickets, when pretty sharp firing ensued, but.Tbrtunhtoly no one was hurt." That'nfght We slept on the ground,' which- was a pretty cold bed; the next morning about ten. o’clock, we heard heavy canonnding towards the river; : wo returned ,to : our .Gamp, where we still remain; The firing we heard, was Cot. Baker, with 1800 men, and the Rebels -with 4 abodi-13;000, under the:command. of Gen. Ev ans,, , Oar men were repulsed , with considera ble loss, and Baker was killed. It .seems hgrd to see our brave men fall, when our country so md’tSh needs them; battle sdctns to me that when we think uf an eaSy victory, w« are cer tain, of defeat; but.vre hope there will not be .many, sufiht if. stafemente are true there are nearly 400, 000 troops in Virginia, and when they meet, there will be some warm work'here —I 'think it will be Soon; 1 Tfidfe Is always .somptbipgpo- soje ran. that,precedes .a .dreadful s.torru, that I lbipk-soon the storm that has beep gathering 'for the last, few months, wifi bilked fufth in all lis furyi which will cause the earth to Shake, and manya stout heart to beat more! quickly than d* iaV Alreadyaomie of .the brayest men; that,'even -tryd AuiErioaniSoil, have fallen in defencm.qf their country, and yet there is more .sacrifice to be made, but it, gives roe pleasure.to'see'so Why that n're willing'to give -everything, -evbn life; if needed,'to restore dur ■glorious Union! .■ .. There is something in the presence' of war . which not even the rugged furest.can withstand. When we came here, we could not see but a little ways .around; but now the woods bays disappeared. Night and day we 6ould hear the fatal axe doing its work of destruction, until the green forest baa been completely cut down. Sometimes at the hour of midnight, the drums will beat all to arms, we get up, pack our knap sacks, got dn'our cartridge boxe§ and haver sacks,'alb ready to vtart,.but.often it proves to be a false'alarm; then we have to go to bonk again,;or sit up an.d shiver with the cold.. In the days of my boy hood, I thought it would be a nice thing to be a soldier, but I did not know the duties attached to such a life. We often, iio iloWn on the wet'ground with nothing but thanstafry Heavens for our covering.

I would say that it is no place for a man, unless'be tas got good teeth—if be values bis'life worth' anything—, but ,we get enough of thefti; and we i make out to worry tbem downin some shape; but I think with bard crackers and ai plenty of -powder and ball, we shall be, able to make tlie rebels dance to the tune of “St. Patrick’s day in'the morn ing.'’ lhave often heard it said that the dark est hour ii aiways just before day;' 'lf it be -trujs I think that day will soon dawn on us berovat least lb ope so, fur the night has seemed long and dreary. ; , We have got so stout that we drill with our knapsacks on, nndT think that if wo.keep on improving, we shall be able to drill with our tents on dulr backs’very-soon.
