ELICISMIIiI.MCYBa;w THE rO,I7OrG irsIRRIORS. Extract of a Lotter from Michigea. "For the substantial accuracy of the fol lowing story I can truly vouch. One of the parties is intimately known to , me. The tragic scene, while it affords a new develope ment of the individual sufferings and horrors incident to war, especially to border wars, discloses traits of youthful courage and pre - .tienc,e of mind, eminently_ worthy of public __ record. _ - - - Towards the close of the late war with . Great Britain, in 1813 or 1814, when the American arms had been so far victorious as to alarm and intimidate the Indians on these frontiers, they acceded to a proposition to meet American commissioners at Green ville, in Ohio, for the purpose of making a treaty of peace and of cession and indemni ties. The British authorities in Canada, learnitig the intelligence ofthis contemplated convention, became anxious to prevent as many of re tribes disposed to attend it as possible from doing . so. For this purpose theydetached - a - frorteMlcCi — nadian'savages,l commanded by a French Canadian officer, whose object was.to intercept a tribe of the American Indians, and overawe them from proceeding ,to Greenville. This scheme soon became known to the military authori ties of the United States on this frontier.— They pronriptly adopted measures to coun teract the project of the enemy. - They se lected a lad about sixteen years of age, the son of a,respectable native of this' country, who had enjoyed the confidence and good will of the Indians all his life. The father having died, they transferred their attach 'ivient to the son. This boy armed himself witlitomahawk, scalping knife,' musket and ammunition; engaged, as his companion, a half-bred, the nephew of the Canadian commander of the hostile Indian force, some- What older than himself', and proceeded from Detroit to visit the friendly Indians, and to induce them, by his hereditary influence, to proceed on their mission to Greenville, as well as to warn them against the meditated attempt of the enemy to intercept them.— The two lads marched with.celerity, amidst trying difficulties and dangers. They pass .ed a Pottawatomie village, with the abori ginal inhabitants of which the Ampican lad was a great fiwourite. These Pottawato alias were aware of the movements of the Cimadian Indians; and after the two lads had left their village in pursuit of the business on which they had been dispatched, they came apprehensive that their youthful favor ite and his companion might be- captured and massacred ,by the hostile force.' They, lherefbre, sent a nu - tither of their after 'them, for the purpose of affording them protection. Before these generous allies overtook them, the two boys had begun to / * On the opposite detachment of the *was too late: They .radian commander to on shore and stir. igning aubmission,_ y. approached the ider was advancing le to the determine :ally, and not to be __ all. They formed the plan of walking up as' near as possible, with safety, to the Canadian officer, and of shooting him down on the spot, each pledg ing himself to the other - to fire simultaneous ly. As they cattle near to , him,, the half 'breed discovered that the officer was his un de. Foes moment he faultered;. but re-in. spired by the determined spirit and energy of the- American led, he- marched fearlessly up tostardi the commander.

At this instant, the friendly Pottawatomies providentially ap peared on . the opposite shore of the river, gave a tremendous yell, and rushed across the stream with the rapidity of lightning.— The savage enemy, by this time apprized of . ' the flue of their commander, and seeing the rapid approach of the Pattawotomics took to flight. ' The brave lads were saved, pro ceeded on their journey amidst perils scarce ly less emminent than the one they had just 'escaped, and effected the object of their try ing and dangerous mission. The treaty of Greenville was signed and ratified; peace Was restored with the Indian tribes; and the intrepid young American, left a pennyless orphan by the death. of his parent and the disastrous effects of the war, lived to educate and ..bring up a large family of sisters, by his own exertions, and still lives, in prosperi ty and affluence, to enjoy the.soCiety of that family, respectably established in life, and to see the savage wilderness where he was cradled and nurtured under the uplifted tom ahawk, in a state of high cultivation, and • blossoming and blooming like the rose." AGES OF GREAT MEN. The appointment of Mr._S. TALisoN to be acting govenior of Michigan, atjhe age of 20, has excited .much animadversion. It is not intended to justify it; but the fact sug gests a reflection that many of our great men have held very elevated places at an age much less advanced than we are apt to sup pose. LAFAvm-r.e.; at twenty years' of age,. was ' Major General in the American army.— , KNOX was at the same time of equal rank, and a very efficient leader at twenty-seven; GREENE, the hero of the southegi war, was a Major General at thirty-six;•VVAiNE was - thatAirrie - thirty.two;--WiLKINSON - was - a- Brigadier General 'itt. twenty; REED was a bput thirty-six; MIFFLIN thirty-two; HAM ILTON,. a Colonel, but in the meridian of fame and usefulness, at, twenty-one; SCHUY LER. was forty-five, and WASIIING'rON was of that age only when appointed Commander in-Chief. The greater part of the Membert of Congress of 1776, were young ADAMS, JEFFERSON, CHASE, RUSH, and ny others of the revolutionary worAjea, were distinguished in politieLd-affairs before they were thirty. In the olden fillies, when it was a custom in many parts of New England to sing psalms and hymns by "deaconing" them; as it was called, that was, by the deacon's read ing each line previous to its being sung, one of these church dignitaries rose, and after looking at his book some time, and making several attempts to spell the words, apologi zed for the difficulty he experienced in read ing, bynbserving, - "My eyes indeed are very blind." The choir, who had been impatiently waiting for a whole line, thinking this to be the first ofa cgicbmon metre hymn; immedi ately sang it. The good deacon exclaimed,. with emphasis, $ • "I cannot see at all." This of course they also 'sung, when the astonished pillar of the church cried out, -----1-1!1--really- think -yon-are-bemiteh4l4--:,--- Response by the choir, "I really think yott are bewitched."—Deacon: t-T-419-4uescia- you-aIV-----*- The choir finished the verse by echoing the Wit line, and the deacon sat down in despair. - LAW AND PILYSIC GOING BY.
