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

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 . '

rapid approach of the Pattawotomics took to

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

family, respectably established in life, and
to see the savage wilderness where he was
cradled and nurtured under the uplifted tom

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. WATER.-
