A Hcniniscience oj the War. Rear Ad.
miral Garden, in one of his published let
ters to the English people, urging measures
t encouiage enlistment in the navy, re
lates the following accidents of his own his
torv:
In the year 1813 Sir John Beresford, in
the Poicliers seventy-feur captured an A-
raeiican corvette, whose botswain was an
Englishman, and previously Sir John's
coxswain, and who had deserted to the A
mericans. This man .was put in irons, and
left at liermuda lur trial by court martial.
I was at this time a prisoner, on parole, in
the United States of Araorica.and had leave
to visit Now York from New Loudon, but
on mv road, at New Haven, was arrested
and brought back, and on my remonstrating
at such conduct, the marshal of that Amen
can district, a Mr. l'orsdyke, said to tne,
'Sir.our government has been informed that
a British seamen naturalized here, captuied
in one of our corvettes, as her boatswain,
by a British ship of war, has been placed in
irons, and is to be tried-oy a court martial,
and our' government expects will be hung,
I am therefore directed to inform you that
as soon as they hear of the said seamen be
ingexecotod, you Sir, as the senior British
officerra prisoner in the United Slates, will
be executed at this place;' and iu this sus
pense I remained until information arrived

The following extraction! the .Pittsburg 1
Manufacturer, shows inused the 'right feel
ing.' It will bo recollected that among the
few democratic pa'pers that prcfericd a
'new man" the Manufacturer Was first, mo9t
zealous, most persevering, most determined.
It did not succeed; because a large majority
of the people thought otherwise, but In the
exercise orf a true denlocralie spirit, It yiel'ds
its owtf opinion to that of the majority, and
comej in manfully to the support of David
R. Poiter. Thus has it been with all; and
the party is now nS firmly united, and inov
ing on as harmonionsly and (confident of
success; as at any timo heretofore. Wo
rejoice therein, as it is the sure harbinger of
a glorious victory.
THE RIGHT FEELING.
Many of the opposition flattered them
selves with the expectation that the portion
of tho democracy party who preferied a
'new man,' would, if Gov. Porlor was re
nominated by ihe 14th of March Conven
tion, continue their opposition to him, and
thus indirectly aid the federalists, This
hope wo knew to be fallacious: wo judged
the 'new man'men by our own. feelings, and
reasoning from such 'analogy,' Wo know
that whoe'ver'tno convemlon might mi
nato would ho supported. We are gratified
to see' with what promptness all the demo
cratic journals in the state yield to the de
cision of tho majority and pledge themselves
to support the nomination.
We are particularly pleased to find that
our friend of the 'Backwoodsman' lias, with
a manliness that docs him credit, pledged
himself to sunnort tho nomination. The
following remarks are taken from his last
naners i
,lVe have rocoived tho broceodincs of
tho 4th of March Convention, but loo lata
to have thorn inserted in this paper. Gov.
Porter ha3 been unanimously chosen the
domoeralic candidate for re-election. Wo
therefore placo at our tiiast head tho name
of DAVID R. PORTER on whom we trust
the whole party will unite.
Wo strenuously opposed tho nomination
of Gov. Porter, but as a majority of ihe
demorratio party through thoir Representa
tives, have chdsen him as our standard bea
rer, wo cheerfully submit; and hope that all
miner differences or opinion will bo lorgol
ten. Let the utmost harmouy prevail, and
in Uctober next, let us give a long pun, a
strong pull, and a pull altogether, and a
glorious triumph will inevitably crown our
When those who desired a 'new man' so
promptly signify thoir willingness to yield
to the majority, we feci certain, that the old
spirit will animate tho whole vartu in the
present'eanvass. If so wo will givo Mr
Hanks, the liana canaiaatei a Waterloo

SENTENCE OF ROBINS'ON
Agreeably to the appointment of tho'
Chief Jusiicet Roiinson was brought to'
the bar of tho Court this morning, about!
half-past eleven o'clock, and received the'
awful sentence of death'. He is to be hung
within thejail of this county, according to
tho laws of the State, between the rioiirS. o
10 o'clock in the morning, and 2 ocloc'k in"
the afternoon, of Friday, the 16th day of A
The Chief Justice seemed to bo much
agitated while pronouncing tins sentence,
and as soon as he had uttered the last sol
emn word, covered his face with his hands,
and wept. The prisoner was as cold and
indifferent ae evert and although he paid
strict attention to the awful ceremony, seem
ed to be Wholly unaffected by It.
This morning Robinson is said to have
mado somo confessions saying, that after
ho had given Mr. Sliydam his deuh wounds;
and had dragged him down into the front
basement, his victim requested a little time
to prepare himself for his fato, but that he
only answered him by a blow Upon the'
head with a spade; which fully despatched
him. He is also said to have asked the
Sheriff to share tho fees of his execution
with him, urging as a reason. tht ho w.ould
have to perform tho hardest part of the duty;
and ought to have at least ono half of tho
profits;

A POLITICAL JUDGR.
John Banks whom Thaddeus Stevons
and Theo. Fenn got Joseph Ritner to ap
point Judge, is now their candidate fo
Governor and at the same time judge. Will
he resign, er will he still, hold an to his
judgship and bo what the Telegraph calls
that "worst ol an curse a political tuuger
Can a man bo a candidate for Governor and
vet be an impartial judge where more than
half the suitors are his opponents? Wo
hope the parly who find fault with Judge
Parsons for having his namo upon tho Uon
tral Coimnittcs of correspondene whose du
ty is merely to collect or disseminate infor
mation. will not suner juuge uaniiB to re
main on the bench during tho campaign
Will ho outrage the sense ol propriety
three-fourths of the people over whom ho
presides by silting in judgment on their
cases while he is soliciting their votos?
We shall see. It he does not resign, we
hope to hear nothing raore of political
judges among the deinoactts
The Death Dealer. The new and dread;
ful engine of destruction, invented in Great
liritian, was lately tried near liOnuon, ui
precouce of many scientific men. A boat
mado Bolid with cross timbers and clamped
with iron spikes, 23 feet lor.g and 7 broad,
was placed in a pond; and when the parties
had taken up i safe position, was in an in
stant struck and shattered into fragments.
I ho manner in which this tremendous ef
fect was produced, and which can bo realiz
ed at son, on arty scale; was of course not
disclosed. J he strongest lurlress, and tho
largest ship could be instantly demolished
by an enemy, wilh thd aid of this new' pro
jectile. Tho boat weighed two tons, the
timber in her five and a hair tons, the wa
ter displaced was equal to Gdcen tons, and
yet tho engine that produced this destruc
tion only weigned eighteen pounds, and
was so safe, that when charged it could bo
kicked rbolita room wilh perfect impunity;
This is really tho ago of invention;
Capt. Charles IV. MorgM. There wts
no braver or worthier man among tho nine
officers who wero recently presented with
swords of honor, by tho State of Virginia
than Capt. Charles W.Morgan of the Unit
ed States Navy. Wc recollect an anecdote
of his gallantry during tho lato war, related
to us by a friend, and which we believe is
not generally knowni
xl tho commencement of the war tho now
lilvcrhaired veteran was a-gay, young, rnid
3hipmanattached to the Constitution, & was
on board of that shipjin tho cslebra'ed bailie
with the Cuerricro. On that memorial oc
casion he perfoiraed an act of most heroio
dating. Soon after the commencement ot
the battle, both vessels became enveloped in
a heavy cloud bf smoke, from tho incessant
cannonade so that it Was imposstblo to dis
tinguish either from the deck of the other.
At this period, young Morgan respectfully
suggested to Coin. Hull that a man should
be sent alofl, where- the smoke was not so
densely packed, in order to ascertain tho
position of tho Gusrriera, and direct tho
men how to point tho guns. The Commo
dore declined to send arty one oh a service
so desperate. Young Morgan immediately
volunteered, ran tip the shrouds, and in a
few moments was directing tho roon ot tlf'
guns, from amidst a shdwer of balls. His
clothus were cut In half a dozen places and
ho received ono or two slight wounds while"
in this perilous position. When the British'
frigate surrendered, her commander inquir
ed of Com, Hull, whether that was a reaf
pian who had been stationed in tho shrouds
of the Constitution; 'Yes,' was the reply,
'why do you ask!' 'Because,' said Dacres
'we have been firing at him this half hour;
he must havo a charmed life.' N. Y.Star.
