Allentown April 4, 1850. - . Illtoccilancouo In A ugust, A. a 1777, when General nu: goy eitine down i . ruin the Northward with a [nighty army and in great wrath, he sent Col. Winn with a strong detachment, to desolate the country eastward, and to en rich themselves with the spoil. Bennington was particularly marked as nil object of their vengeance ; accord ingly , Col. Baum took post with his front on an advantageous height seven miles west of the town, where he fin.tilit cI strongly, his rear being seven miles back.- The inhabitants of Bennington were 'ouch alarmed ; the militia below had been sent for, but few had yet ar rived ; however they fo:lned aline between the town and the enetny, within about three miles of them, and by some int.:ans got intel ligence of the day fixed upon to destroy the town. The inhabitants were fixed with con sterhation, and aroused to the greatest cau tion and exertions. A council was held, and it was determined,not best to wait the enemy's approach, btir to go out and attack them in their strong !mid. EVery male able to bear arms went forth to the battle. The woman and children were paraded along the main street, with the carts and wagons loaded with their furniture and effects, the night before the action, ready to move on in case the enemy prevailed. Thus matters were disposed, when the important day arose which was to decide the fate at Bennington. Gen. Stark and the officers with him, can sidering. everything at risk upon the exer tions of their little band of invincibles, as they afterwards proved, made such judicious arrangements, and such an unexpected and spirited attack upon the enemy in their works, that they at.onee, by the crowning aid of auspicious heaven, forced them from their lines and redoubts, kilted and captiva ted nearly the Whole of their party. The inhabitants heard the attack, and Waited to know the issue with a distressing nil xiety, not, to be conceived, much less expressed. The firing ceased ; and, lo ! n courier hove in sight, all in foam ! and, us he approached, he flung his hat into the air. and announc ing to the trembling Multitude the joyful tid ings of success and victory ! "The day is our own ! the enemy are vanquished, and you are all safe !" Very soon after their eyes were gratified. with seeing the intended authors of their destruction, led captive through the streets, and secured under guard in 'their meeting-house. Nothing was now said or hoard, scarcely, but . ejacu lations of praise to god for their deliverance, and mutual congratulations of each other. But they had scarcely enjoyed the felici ty before their hopes were all blasted by prospects of the deepest distress. 11l tidings from every quarter, in quick succession, crowed in upon them. The action to. the northward is renewed. An express arrives with an account that a strong reinforcement had engaged Col. Herrick, and that he was forced to flee before them. At' the saute time a patrol returned from the southward with intelligence that a party of the enemy consisting of a thousand men, were upon the town from that quarter. At the same time the prisoners made ao insurrection w the meeting house. What a sad reverse of fortune ! from the most flattering prospects, at once reduced ro a situation beset with ills and environed round with danger and with darkness, without a gleim of hope left.—, But He who turneth the day into night, and night into day, for mortals, did not forsake ,them.

V7r= ner fortunately came up to the assistance of Col. Herrick, in an advantageous situation. They engaged and vanquished the enemy_,_' a second time. Thus were their fears again dispelled, and their desponding spir its revived to joy and to praise. And now they had leisure to attend to the killed and wounded. A good old gentleman, who had two sons in the field, whose furrowed cheeks and ver locks added venerableness to his hoary brows, being told that he was unfortunate in one of his sons, replied, "What ! has he mis behaved ? (lid he desert his post or shrink from the charge?" "No, sir" said .the in formant, "worse than that—lie is among the slain ! he fell contending Mightily in the cause !" "Then I am satisfied," replied the venerable sire ; "bring him in and lay him before me, that at leisure I may behold and survey the darling of my soul." Upon which the corpse was brought in and laid before hint. He then calls for a bowl of water and .a napkin,and with his own hands washes the gore from his ,son's corpse, and wiped his gaping wounds, with a compla cency, as he himself expressed it. which be -fore he-had -- never felt or experienced. [low beautiful is death when earned by virtue ! how precious the blood which is shed for one's country ! how triumphant to fall, when by falling we rise to conquest, honor and immortality. May America never want of her sons to imitate so bright an example, and to become rivals for such distinguished glory—to stand forth ti the hour of her distress, and nobly vindicate her cause, and avenge tier wrongs!' Kidd the Pirate. In old times, just after the territory of the New Netherlands bad been wrested from the hands of their Iligh :Mightiness the Lords States General of Holland, by Charles the Second, and while it was as yet in an unquiet state, the province was a favorite resort of adventurer's of all kinds, and par ticularly of buccaneers. These were pirat ical rovers of the deep, who made sad work in times of peace among the Spanish settle ment and Spanish merclumt ships. They look advantage of the easy access to the harbor of the Manhattoes, and of the laxiety of the scarcely organized government, to make it a kind of rendezvous, where they might dispose of their 111-gotten spuds. and concert new depredations. Crews of these desperadoes, the renagates of every coun try arid clinic, might be seen swaggering, in open day, about the streets of the burgh ; elbowing its quiet Alynbeers ; trafflicking their rich outlandish plunder, at huff price, to the wary merchant, and then squandering their,gains in taverns ; drinking, gambling, singing, swearing, shouting ; and astound ing the neighbovlincd with sudden brawl and ruffian revelry. At length the indignation of government was aroused, and it was determined to fer ret out this vermin brood from the colonies. Great consternation took place among the pirates on finding justice in pursuit of them. and their old haunts turned to places of per, il. They secreted their moneys and jewels in lonely out of the way places , buried them about the wild :Ames of the rivers and sea coast, and dispersed themselves over the face of the country. Among the agents employed to hunt them by sea was the renowned (taw. Kidd. He had long been tt hardy adt,tenturer, a hind of equivocal borderer, hialf trader, half smug- . t - ler, with a tolerable dash of the pickaroon. He had traded for sonic time among the pi rates, lurking about the seas in a little rak ish. musquito built vessel, prying into all kinds of odd places, as busy as a Mother fury's chicken in a gale of wind. This non descridt personage was pitched upon by government as the very man to cominand a vessel fitted out to cruise against the pirate, since he knew all their haunts and lurking places—acting upon the shrewd old maxim of •'seting a rogue to catch a rogue." Kidd accordingly sailed front New nrk in the Ad venture.galley, gallant ly armed and duly eommissioned,and steered his course to the Madeiras, to Bonavista, to Madagascar, and cruised at the entrance of the Red Sea. Instead hoWever, of making war upon the pirates, he turned pirate him self—captured friend c,r foe—enriched him :self with the spoils or a wealthy Indianian, manned by Maors, though commanded by an Englishman; and having disposen of his prize, had ,the hardihood to return to Boston, laden with his Wealth, with a erew of his comrades at his heels. His fame has preceeded him. The alarm was given of there-appearance of this cut purse of the ocean. Measure were taken for his arrest ; but-he had time, it-is said, to bury the greater part of his treasures.. He . even attempted to draw his sword and de fend himself when arrested but was secur ed and thrown into prison, with several of his folloWors. They were carried to Eng land in a frigate, Where they were tried con demned, and hanged at Execution Dock.— Kidd died hard, for the rope with which he Was tied up broke with his weight; and he tumbled to the ground r he *as tied up a NUMBER 28. second time, and effectually; from whence arose the story of his having been twice. SUM Such is the main outline of Kidd's his tory; but it his given birth to an innumera ble progeny of traditions. The circumstai of having buried great treasures of Bold and jewels after returninm from his cruising set the brains of all the good people along the coast in a ferment. There were rumors on rumors of great stuns found here and there sometimes in one part of the country, some- . times in-another: an of [hies d rocks bearin g mysterious marks, doubtless indicating the spots where treasure lay hidden ; of coins found with Moorish characters, the plunder of Kidd's eastern prize, but which the.com mon people took fur diabolical or magic in-" scriptions. Some reported the spoils to have been buried in solitary unsettled places, about Plymouth and Cape Cod., Many other parts' of the eastern coast. also and various pla ces in Lon; Island Sound, have been-gilded by these rumours and have been ransacked by adventurous money-diggers. An interesting Story. Dr. Kane, already widely known as one of the heroes who sailed in search of Sir John Franklin with Mr. Grinnell's expedi; tion, has led a life of unexampled adventure as the follow inn account of it, up to his de parture u p on the Artie EXpedition, shows: We have not recently encountered any nar rutive so thrilling. Why may we not hope for a book from Dr. Kane, comprising his remarkable experience ? No American, of bis age has ever seen ad much of the perils of the world, or of the world itself. Ile was surgeon of the Amer ican Legation to Chinn, and on his way to the Celestial regions, he spent some weeks on a foot-tramp through the orange groves of Brazil, and about a month in tiger-hunt ing near Bombay. Hence, after a dozen. unsuccessful attempts to smuggle himself in the forbidden lands of Chinn, ho went over to the Philippines, and by the aid of the good 'Monks of the interior of Manila; explored its fastnesses and volcanic wonders: Ho was the first man to descend into the great crater of the Teel, lowered down two' hundred feet over the bring, by a bamhoo rope tied round his middle, and brought back a bottle full of its sulpher waters burn: i»g oil his befits in the lava cinders. Leaving China, after a second visit, in which he encountered shipwreck, he pass ed to India as physician of the Dremendhar Dagore, and was palannuined for some three months through the wonders of ital mountain archik , cture, the ancient glories of Candy, the stupendous passes of the Ghaut country, visiting Madras, Poncitherry, and every spot that we have read of in the trial of Warren . Hastings.

Wrecked again while passing down the Nile. and wounded, in at. encounter near Alexandria, he pushed amass to Greece, and traversed every scene of classic interest, climbing to the Hippo crene Spring, and sleeping on the shore of Marathon.

Availing himself, at Perote, of a mis 7 creant escort of jailbirds, that Gen e Worth had employed as a spy Company, he got to a series of fights, in the last of which he received the swords of Gen.

SinCe then he has been cruising, and practising hydro: graphy on the coast Survey, up to the Mom , ont of receiving his telegraphic despatch; accepting his urgent proffer of services for the Artie. Expedition.. Ho had tho rice fe , ver in the Canton River, the plague in Egypt, the yelloW fever at Rio, the congest tive at Puebla, and the African fever on the coast.
