In the war of 1812, the volunteers of the State of Pennsylvania promptly obeyed the authorities, when a call was made upon them for their services to defend our shores from invasion. The same spirit that urged every true-hearted American to abandon his domestic circle and his daily business, and oirdle on the sword or shoulder the musket, still animates the bosom of the present gen eration. At the first tap of the drum, thou sands started up, ready for any emergency, either to repel an aggression or to chastise an insolent 'any sacrifices, no doubt, would be tvil lingly of personal comfort und_pecuni ary profit ; but in the hour of need, person al sacrifices weigh not a feather with the American,' as the past and the present strongly exemplifies. Among the many companies in this city whose services were_ accepted during the last war, there was one composed entirely of gentlemen and merchants of Philadelphia, under the command of Charles noss,-41 line spirited gentleman, whose memory is cherished by a large circle of his former companions in arms and associates in busit nese. It was a troop of horse, called the First City Troop—a corpseystablished dur ing the revolution, and which still preserves For the Lehigh ItegiNtar The Dying Child. 111321Z3 For 1 am going now Our Deep Old Well A Spy in the Camp. -•-- - - ALLENTOWN.

The writer_oLl this sketch was a member of that troop for ninny veers, and tie well remembers the ! sensation of pride when gazed upon -that war-Worn -trophy ; and no doubt the same sensations throbs the breast of the youthful members, when Ulu sacred banner . is un- furled. Durinry the war, this lino corpse. admi rably equipped tunl well mounted, acted as videues between the Chesapeake bay, the scene of strife, and the troops .of Camp du Pont, under the command of.Ckn. Cadwal lader. They were poked at die lead of the Elk, at a place called Mount 8011, a very exposed situation, within a view oldie Brit ish fleet which then infested the waters of Chesapeake. Upon one occasion, on a Saturd:ty, aftvr the troop had been mustered ma gone through their drill—the horses were pit k eted, and the regul , ir order of military duly was being performed, a strangor in the !garb of a country-tnan, was seated up on a rail, kicking-hisiteels-againsLthefence, ap pa Foully a carel~•s's speClator or tip. vari ous scenes before libo. when, being observ ed by Ross, he asked yin who h.+ was and what he wanted. Tho stranger, with a re- marl4able tone, and many expressions pecu liar to a .f*vnuine Yankee, not often seen SO far South replied that he lived hard brthe mouth of the Susquehanna, and wanted to see the surgeon of the troop, as he had a Wadi - boy with him who he was fearful had the small-pox, and before lie took him among, his other hands he wanted to he cer tain of it. Captain Ross. after scrutinizing the man for a moment or so, replied that there was no surgeon attached to his troop, bin plenty of first rate doctors, whose pa tients were suffiqing in Philadelphia for want of their services, and pointed out one of these gentleinen, at that moment busily etig agod in cleaning his charger. "Doctor, drop your currycomb and come hero a moment—here's a patient for von." The doctor very promptly obeyed ,the summons, and in company with Mr. S—, craninenced a professional examination of the boy, which resulted in a very i411 . 1,77(aC -. tory declaration that there were 00 sym toms of the fatal disease spoken of, it being a common rash owing to the season. The farmer appeared highly delighted, and ten dered all sorts of remit eration in the shape of chickens, ducks, gatese,&c., if they would only pay hint a visit. 'rho sun was at that moment sinking beneath the horizon, and the long shadows indimted the approach 'of night. After gazing for a moment at the waters of the, bay, and' his little punt, or dug-out, "see here, gentlemen, -it is a long row to my place whit the tide against me suppose I must stay here till morning.'' "Oh yes. certainly, old fellow," replied the doctor and Mr. S., "come to our quar ters, we are going to tap a small brisket of champagne, sent to us by our friends in Philadelphia, and if you never tasted the beverage, you have the chance of a first taste of a liquid which by Jupiter and like roaring of boys, was called Nectar.'' The farmer followed them, and they were soon at work popping off coals, and imbib ing, the sparklin g liquid, which he of the punt declared to be the real stuff and no mistake. A dead set was made upon the man of the chickens, and his head appear ed to he proof against the most violent as saults, thawing forth, however, some quali ties which his figure hail given no evidence of. Ile sum?r some admirable songs, in a hich sailors atlid saucy tars were the he roes, which so captivated our troops, that they made him repeat them over and over again ; and thus passed convivially the bet ter port of the night, when they fell to sleep, without any preparations of the toilet, es rcpt dulling the belt. tied casque. In ilia morning, the wanner, now become familiar with his friends of the last night's . convivial party, loitered about the camp, mingled with the troopers, watched the per ado, and after the drill, Oven assisted the li doctor and his friend Mr. S—, to rub and curry their horses. Towards nightfall he departed with his negro, and after a time his little boat slowly receded upon the wa ters, turned a point, and was lost to view. Some time after, the troops were recalled to Philadelphia, and Were then discharged.— The enemy, after the attack on Baltimore. withdrew all their forces front the waters of the. Chesapeake, to concentrate upon New Orleans, where they received a terrible chas tisement for their robberies upon the defence less inhabitants of the bays and creeks of Maryland and Virginia. Dr.— and Mr. S—, the two of as the entertainers of the Susque hanna farmer, shortly after made a voy age to Giberalter in a fine, vessel, as super cargoes, and Ul3Oll their return to the Uni ted States, with fair prospects of realizing a handsome profit, were overhauled by the Southampton frigate. and captured. They were both transferred to the decks of the British man-of-war, and whilst seated apart upon a gun carriage.- 'bemoaning their ill luck, and wondering What would be done with them, their attention was drawn to the captain of the deck, who stopped before them once ueftvile and examined them with great _ MEEMI attention• As he passed them ;wain, lw WAS hcard to mutter some words which were very familiar to his friends. "Throes aboutosoops right dress, wheel in a line, march." "Why, kl—," said Mr. S—, "to you hear Gm] fellow—curse ma if he is not going through the troop drill. Ile num be a horse Marine." At that motnent the ollicor stepped up to them, and after gazing at them a few sec seconds with a comical expression.said— "Cients, you have got into a fix." "}'es sir," replied the doctor, "your as. sertion is self-evident ; and what is worse, Wt. see no way of gettina- out of it." 'You are front Philadelphia. hey ?—you !lave a fine troop of 11 orsys, called the 'First City Troop,' par excellence, commanded by Cumuli] ROSS." Our friends made no reply to this, won dering, the while how a lieutenant on hoard 11 is Alajesty's ship should know any thing, about these old troops. "And further," he continued, "you have some good hellaws in that troop, who know how to crack a bottb• of Cll3lTirle_:lll2. and tell whether a black bow has got the small pox or not." The last observation quickly recalled to both of them the incident above narrated, and starting to their feet, they asked him how he knew anythimr about this troop. and that incident of the black boy and the champagne. The of then coming close up to them said. smilingly—• oflentlemen, I knew your faces the mom ent I cast my eye on you ; I was n spy in l Your camp for two davS; I was second of ficer on board the Endynnon, under com mand of Admiral Cockburn ; disguised as i you saw me, with that black boy, hired for the occasion, I visited your out-posts, and it was I who spent such a jovial night with you on the shores of the Chesapeake.— :Now let's see if I cannot return the oomph ' inert. Come to iny mess, and though I have.no chant pagne, yet there is something in the locker to treat a clo er fellow with." They were treated. whilst on board. with great kindness, and through the inteices• tott of this officer, wore enabled to l g . released, and shortly returned to the 'Tinted States by a vessel sailing from Bermuda 'no Traitor soy. AN INCIDENT O6"1111.1 'REVOLUTION The writer has been indebted to his friends fur many of the' incidents which he has giv en to the public ; and among those which have been kindly fernished hint, is the fol lowing. it cannot fail to interest the reltd• or on, more accounts than one. To 'site buy j ust able to wield his rid', engaged in the defence of his country during the Amer ican I:evolution, was no uncommon occur rence. Hut it was a roost extra mlinary circumstance to find one, nut yet arrived at the age of maturity, fighting on the side of liberty, when his. parents and all his rela tions were zealous and active partizans en the opposite side. It may with truth be said that hundreds and thousands took side, during the Amer ican Revolution, from accident or incident.: while it is nut denied that the great mass of people were actuated by principle in the it resistance to tyranny and oppression. Hut it would seem that Jordan Montjoy espous ed the cause of his country in the :-ante maneer that Sir Jelin Palstad is allsoged to have Prince Dal, inn his encounter with the robbers. It was not reason or • reflection which taught hint that right and justice were On the side he stood, for he was too young to reason or have reflection en the matter.— Nor was he e•overned in his choice by inter est, for this. would have prompted him to have taken the side of his father and ieht- Lions. Ile must then have known that lib erty was the true and lawful inheritance of his countrymen, and that duty required him to forsake father and mother, and cleave in to it with ardent and insatiable feelings of love. The parents of Jordan Montjoy were to t ies of the deepest ilye, and their house was a place of common rendezvous for the 'bloody scout" when in Spartenburg District. All the meetings of the tories in that part of the country were held then?. and their schemes and plans of murder and devastation were there formed and connected. No Whigs ev er visited the "house through social inter course, or deemed it prudent so to do under any circumstances, unless with a strong es cort. Jordon associated with none but the friends of his father ; and seldom saw tiny -of those who-were—opposed to him ; yet he felt a secret partially for those whom lie knew net, , and whose principles he never heard mentioned, except with execration ! Ile was thought by Iris friends to be too young to be of service to them and was therefore suffered to remain at home in pence and quietude. Their schemes and plans, however, were not concealed froth hint, and',l he had free access to all their deliberations and meetings. . • It was during one of these meeting of the "bloody scout," that he because cenni2ant of a deep-laid scheme to surprise and capture a company of "liberty men," Mule: the cum- NEUTRAL IN POLITICS, mand of Capt.'Thomns Farrow, Dahrens District. No sooner had he !ward of all their nrran7inents than he mounted - a fleet horse, and pat off post-haste to inform the NV hig,s of their dangers and contemplated destruc tion, Captain Farrow immediately deter- Mined to tah•e advantage of the timely warn hug, and surprise the tortes by an attack that night.—This he did successfully, and turn- ! ed the scale against the "bloody scout," to the terror and confusion of ther friends in the neighborhood.—This traitorious act of yonng Alontjoy became known to the tories. and they threatened his death on sight. In consequence of their threats and the dis pleasure of his relations, he had to leave I. home. forever, and take up his abode in the American rdinp.-1 le became. in a short time one of the most active, enterpri.dno daring partizans of whom the Whigs could boast. Ile was always sent mit to recon noitre and spy out the Inurement of the tor- . les. In one of the these adventures near his fathers house he met a company of tor. les, under a noted leader by the name of Gray. With the speed of an arrow he dash ed - by - Gray, - fi red. his pistol iii his face, and made his escape in safety. For suave• time during the latter part of the Revolution, young. Montjity belonged to an A mencon garrison on the frontier of Georgia. On ono occasion, while here, he volunteered to ho with'a small detachment. in pursuit of some Indiaas, who had been stealing some horses to that neighborhood. The detachment was under the contmand of a Leiutenatit,who did not exercise that precaution which is absolutely necessary in the pursuit of Intlians.—The detachment was surprised and till killed except Mount joy mid one other. ' Nlonnjoy did not leave the ground until hut had fired his rifle and two pistols, and seen all his comrades, save one fall side by side. [le escaped unhurt, although vverais balls had passed through his coat and pantaloons. On another occasion, while in the same garments, the Indians became so trouule song- that it was dangerous to venture out at all.--It was at the haz. - ,rd of one's life to ge to the creek nr blanch within sight of the fort.—There wss an old lady in the oarri gun who hail a horse about this time which she could get no one ride to water for her. After making application to sev eral, she asked Motujoy if he would be so oblieing, as to risk his life in riding her horse to water.— 'Without any sort of hoe r Latium, Jordan complied with the 0111 lady's request, took his pistols, mounted her horse, and rode to the creek. • While the horse drinking, he discovered an Indian slipping from tha bushes nearest the fort, and before he could wheel, the savage had his bride) reins in his grasp. With the quickness of thought Jordan drew his pistol and lodged the contents of it in the bosom of his assail ant: Such presence of mind, such perfect commanded himself, under a circumstance so well calculated to try the nerve of a lad aquirid for him very deservedly, a high character among his assochttes it) arms. - Many other incidents similar to thia above might be related of this i youthful hero. • A True Story. Not many years ago, a young lad the son of a poor farmer, living near Crich Church fancied, or rather dreamed, that if he wonld .o ) •to London, by way of London Bridge l'ohe would find a fortume. London was - a great way from CI especially to a poor lad, ignorant of goo4raphy and travel, told living is an age bel o w railroad:;. So he put away the strange drain •front his mind ; yet ap,ain and again it returned, until :he poor lad became soyxcio d that he could no longer delay visiting London. But he had. told no one of his dream, nor of his iro.,int ion ro (,) to London'. fir li' well knew ev !ry one would ridicul- the-dream, and his hull er would prohibit hint fic:n vritmg London on so foolish an errand. So he kept his own secret and conosel, and, early one pleasant morning set out on hi , advetor... It was a weary lung way. bin he fo.e.vd it bravely, only resting by day to eat the simple meal of bread and cheese Ito hack provided in his small pack, and, resting by night wherever road-side shelter ()tiered. At last he came insight of London. Our poor lad was not a little bewildered by the great show of St. Paul's Church, the Lon- don Column and Tower, with many other marvellous sights, but uppermost in his mind was his dream ; and he wondered how Ignition Bridge could be corrected with. the fortune done so humble as he. By dint of perseverin;r inquiry, he ;Otnol the Midge, determined to cross the Thames in no other way. Once . On the, bridge Ito looked on every slily, but no furnmo apprare.d. only raw crowds of people going to and fro, never mimiing him. Faint with travel and mortification, having Ihr hours walked up and down the bridge, he was turning his face homeward, satisfied that his dream was, like all dreams, n cheat, when a rag ged boy, of his own size, accosted him with. "What for are you searching, London Bridge all day have you lost a bob r meaning, by "bob," a small coin, "Nay," stild the dreamer, "I have 'come up here, because [ dreamed if 1 wont to London Bridge, I should lind my fortune." NUMBER '2, "0, ha !" replied the ragged stranger, • , if I were to follow all my dreams I should -have-had a dozen fortunes long ago. It was only last night I dreamed that if I would gn to Chuckstone Cross,*and- dig _ under. it. I. should find a bag of gold ; but blam me HI believe in dreams, besides I don't know if there is such a place as Chuckstone Cross iri thi; world." The dreamer caught a sudden light from this confession, and, without more ado, bid.: ding the stranger-boy good-by, strode back for Chuckstone Cross, which was near by his father's house, "for," said he to himself. "perhaps this is the fortune I was to find on Low! on 13ridge." Elope made his feet light and hr ems soon at Chuckstone Cross.— When night came, and all was still, he crept from his bed. in his father's house and stooling out slyly to the cross, he fell to work removing the stone, and digging up the hard earth. It was not long before he struck upon something chinky, and directly out came a fine bag of gold pieces, in all many thousand pounds. Thus the poor lad, obeying his persistent dream, found his fortune ; and beyond all doubt, all our former speculations tolTie7con trary nn.withstandinr, the cross was original ly erected by the person or persons who bur ied the gold, as they naturally conjectured a cress the lieu thing likely to be disturbed, while it was a ,c!ood and durable mark over their deptot. But, though the fortune was found by following a dream in this instance, we doulcwhether it is safe or well to trust too much in dreams, since dreams are gea ncrally shadows of ideas of our waking' hours—mere phantoms of our own conjura tion—still, if any of our readers do dream persistently.and think their dreams worth tracing out, let them be careful how they re -1 veal them to others, as the ragged London. , or did to the poor country lad who found what, with more curiosity and secretiveness, might have been another's fortune, under Uhuckstone Cross.-If7iitney's Republic, A Dying Artist. In a little whitewashed' chamber, with d single window, lay a dyingartist. A tatter ed covering was spre . ad over the broken cot/ and his head rested on a threadbare coat folded into a pillow, while his eye wander. , ed from the pictures strewed about the room to a faithful spaniel, who. sitting by his side licked tie! wasted hand which hung listless ., Iv over the bed. . . The closing day shed a softened light over the apartment, and here and there a ro , y beam played among the shadows as the wind moved the old tree before the window. • Around him lay the mighty olfurts of his enthusiastic mind now prostrated by sick ness and neglect. Gorgeous sunsets tinged every cloud with the hues of the rainbow —fearful storms where shipwrecked mari ners clung to the broic'en spars, praying ftif succor which could never come—sunlit bays where gallant barks were dashing though the sparkling water—velvet laws where quiet cattle broused upon luxuriant grass- - here a castle frowning from its massive rocks—there a cottage hiding amid its wood. bine and honeysuckle in some shaded val ley—calm and tempest—light and shadow —all, lay scattered around their dying sa.- thor. I,iviug on in hope of fame, (fatly he had transferred to his canvass the grand and beautiful scenes which flitted across his brain. But vainly had he toiled. Fashion the ruler of the arts had never taken him by the hand. . The wor!iings of his mind were too deep' for the common Understanding of mankind, and IP. , was doomed to die alone and unre finned. Pinup• generations would perhaps ,ive thousands for the fruits of his labor.— the satisfaction of even a passing smile as: denied to hint while yet living.
