who, with a reverence due to departed valor, perform
&pilgrimage to the spot where its highest efforts have
been performed. On the shores of the pond, a sandy
beach spreads out, covertd with aged trees, and
:banded on one side by a meadow and terminated by
ao inconsiderable brook, which, being s wollen, in the
spring time, by the waters poured from the dissolv
ing shows of -the mountains, forms a narrow penin
sula.
Here the small company, engaged in this celebra
•ted and rash expedition. retreated. with the savages
on their front flank, and the waters on their right and
rear, and continued the work of death, till the enemy,
learning too late that the desperation of tho few is
mightier than the courage of many, retired leaving
the survivors of the fight toenjoy a triumph gained by
the loss of more than half their num'er.
It is not by the inconsidernhle forces engaged in
this battle, that we are to estimates its consequences.
It should be remembered, that the Indians, irritated
by a long series of injuries, and with n strong effort to
stem the torrent of desolation which was sweeping
over their hopes, hod dug up the hatchet, and to the
hardships of a settlement in the wilderness, were ad
ded the horrors of a rathless warfare.
The pilgrim of those days listened, in the still wntch
es of the night, for the fuotfall of the invaders; the mus
ket was the companion of his toils and of his pillow,
and too often the fierce yell of unsparing foes came on
the Silence, and the flames rose from his dwelling, and
his children were murdered and himself carried into
captivity, to expire in the tortures indicted in the sport
iveness of cruelty.
The defeat of a hundred was to them, even as the
slaughter of the thousands, on the blood-stained field
of Waterloo - , to the conqueror of Europe. It broke
their spirit, anti from that hour the star of the nation
_grew pale, till it went out in darkness.
When we stood upon the battle ground, the sun was
just. setting, and the thoughts that pressed upon the
mind were many and melancholy. He went down as
calmly on the eve of that long day of carnage—the wind
sighed as mournfully through the evergreens of the for
est—the waters curled as gently—the murmur that
came on the departing twilight was as sod—and the
snoods waved with motion as graceful as they now do.
But, then, the last rays of fading light fell on the
'eyes that were soon to be closed in eternal darkness—
thebreeze mingled its solemn wail with the groans of
the dying soldier—the waters rolled along, stained
with the red current of life ; and the trees shaded the
cold cories of the slain.
AU round was so calm and still. that it were nn in-
-suit to nature to make so lovely a solitude the scene
of contention, and to offer human sacrifices on the pur
pled altar of violence. The sounds of merriment, the '
rejoicing of mirth, the pleasant softg or the sprightly
dance, were more in harmony with the quiet beauty of
the spot, than the rude confusion of warfare, and the
-desolation of slaughter.
It was well that the flood had come, and washed
the soil from the red stains, and the storms had spread
out the white sands over the spot where they had fought.
A hundred years had gone by, and, as yet, no monu
ment had been raised to preserve to posterity the me
mory of the place of combat.
The gratitude of a century has done nothing to per
•lietuate the names of those who have added to the in
heritance of our honors. Long after the warriors
bad fallen, and after the eagle and the wolf had
been gorged with their mortal remains, the scattered
relics were gathered, and buried at the foot of an
aged pine.
The fire has since scathed it branches, and blasted
its verdure: the trunk has decayed and each traveller
carries away a fragment from its stump as a memen
to of his visit; so that, eta, long no mark will remain to
-distinguish the graves of the fallen, and to warn us that
we do not profane. with our footsteps, the eat th which

THE CHINA TREATY
The National Intelligencer c f Tuesday has a letter
of Mr Cushing. to the Secretary of State, giving the
'main features of the Treaty, an abstract of which we

-perfect equality between the United Suites and China,
Alas been sedulously observed.
1.-The tariff is amended by the reduction in the
--duties on some articles of A mericsn production, and
by fixing, with greater precision, what goods are con

port or import of whatever he pleases. No modifica
tion to be made in this tariff without the consent of the
United States.
. 2. By the English treaties, the Consul is security

Mr Cushing, in closing his communication, reworks
'that his treaty which is called, from the place at
which it was concluded. the treaty of Wang I liya, in
tho new provisions it makes, confers a great benefit
on the commerce of the British empire; for the sap
plementary English treaty stipulates that any new
privileges conceded by China to other nations shall be
enjoyed also by England. and there is a similar pro•
vision in the treaty of Wang Hiya, and thus, what
ever progress either government makes in opening
this vast empire to the influence offureign commerce,
is for the common good of each other, and ofcllChris
