.THE BATTLOF nASTINGS.
FROM .1311-LAVER'S NES.ROMANCE, "HAROLD THE
LAST or• THEfSiXON KISHS."
ME war now- raged:
Thetwo divisions'of the invading army
that included the auxiliaries, had sought in
vain to surround the English vanguard, and
thke . it In the rear; flifit noble phalanx had
no rear. Deepest and: strongest at the. base
of the triangle, every Where a front opposed
the 'foe; shields formed a rampart against the
dart—spears a palisade against tha horse.—
William, unable to pk:rce to the 'wrench
merits, while that vantuard maintained its
ground; but,.having approached near enough
to , behold, with admiring surprise— their
'strength, now changed!his tactics, joined his
knighthood to the oil* sections, threw his
hosts rapidly Into many wings, and 'leaving
broad spaces between his archers—who coy:-
tinued their fiery hail 7 ;-ordered his heavy
armed foot to advaneeholl aides upon the
wedge, and break'ini'rarairrfoi the awaiting
charge of his horse. ,
Harold, still in the centre of the vanguard,
amidst the men of Kent, continued to ani
mate them all 'with voice-and hand ; and, as
the Normans now closed iti, he flung him
,.elf from his steed, and strode on fool, with
his mighty battle-axe, to where the rush was
dreariest.
Now came the shock—the fight hand to
hand ; spear and lance were then thtoWn
aside, axe'and sword rose arid shore. But
beteie the close serried lines of the English,
with their physical strength, and veteran
practice in their own special arni, the Nor
man foot were mowed as by the scythe.—
In vain, in the intervals, thundered the re
peated charges of the fiery knights; in vaini
throughou! all, came the shalt and the bolt.
Animated by the presence of their king
fightiog among them as a simple soldier,
but with his eye ever quick to foresee, his
voice ever prompt to warn, the men of Kent
swerved not a foot from their indo ratable
ranks. The Norman infantry wavered and
gave way; on step by step, still unbroken in
array, pressed the English. Awl their cry,
"Out ! out ! Holy Crosse !" rose high above
the flagging sound of "Ha Rou! Ha,Rou!
—Noire Dame !"
' , Per la resplender De," cried NVilliarri Nor-
mans. Ho, spears to the rescue ! With me
to the charge, Sires D'Aumale and De Littain
--with me, gallarefiruse and - pe McWain ;
with me, De Graville and Grantmesnill—
Des, aide ! Notre Dame." And heading his
prowest knights, William eathe, as a !lion
deibolt, on the bills and shields. Harold, who
scarce "n minute belnre had been in a remo
ter rank, was already at the brunt of that
charge. At his word down knelt the fore
most line, leaving nought but • their shields
and their spear-points against, the horse.—
While behind them, the axe in both
bent forward the soldiery irithe.second rank,
to smite and to crush. And behind from the
core .of the wedge, poured the, shafts of the
archers. `town rolled in the dust. hall the
charge of those, knights., Bruse, reeled on

The English archers had at no time been
numermis; most of thetas had served with
the vanguard i 'and the shafts of those within
the ramparts were spent; so that.the foe. had
time to pause and to breathe. The Norman
'arrows meanwhile flew feet anti thick, but
William noted,to his grief that they struck a
gainst • the breastworks and barricades, and
so failed the slaughter they should.infliet.
Ho Mused a moment, and sent one of his
knights 'to call to him three of the chiefs of
ilia s.
areher vvere M
soon thiliiile of
his destrier. „ -
'See you not, Inalculroilv," - said the , duke,
"that your shafts and bolts fall'hatraless on
those ozier wills. Shoot inlthe air; let 'the
arrows fall perpendicular on those within—
fup vengence,ol the saigts fall, direct
- fremlieave r n ! Gi've ins thy, bow,
thus." . He . (hew the bow as he sat on his
steed, the arrow flashed up, and deicended
in the heart of • the reserve, withir. a taw
feet of the standard.
"So: that standard he yon mark," said
the duke, giving back the bow
- .
The archers withdrew. The order circu
lated through their-bands, and in a few mo :
ments more doWn came the from - rain:7 - 11
took the Enghsh host. as by surprisq, pierc
ing hide'eap, and even iron helm; and in
the very surprise that made them instinctive
ly lookup--death came.
A dull groan as frOm many hearts boom
ed from the entrenchments on the Norman
ear. •
"Now," said William, "they must either
use their shields to guard their heads—and .
their axes are useless—or while they smite
by the axe thej• fall by the shaft. On now to
the ramparts. I see my crown already rest
ing on yonder standard.
Yes despite all, the English bear up ; the
thickness of the palisades, the comparative
smallness of the last inclosure, more easily
therefore, manned and maiptained by their
small force defy other weapons than those
4if the bow. Eve - ry - Normac who attempts
tote scald the breastwork is slain on-the instant
and his body cast forth under the hoofs of
the baffled steeds. The sun sinks neafer

"Courage!" cries the voice of Harold,.
"hold but till nightlall, and ye .ate saved.—
Courage, and treeilogi."
"Harold aitd-Holy Crosse!" isthe-answer.

towards the breach.
"Forward," cries Odo, "T see the hands
of the holy saints in the air ! Forward !
is the dead that wheel our war steeds round
the living.
On rush the Norman knights. But Har
old is already in the breach ; rallying around
him heads eager to replace the shattered
bleaStworks.•
"Close shields! Hold last!" shouts his
kingly voice.
Before him were the steeds 01 Brnse and
Grantmesnil. At his breast their shields :
Haco holds over the breast the shield.=
Swinging
atoll with both hands his 'axe, the
spear of Grantmesml is shivered in twain by
thevkings stroke. Cloven to the skull rolls
the steed of Bruse. knight .and steed roll
on the bloody sword.
BM a blow Irom the sword of Be Lacy
has broken down the guardian'shield of Ha
co. The son of Sweyn is stricken to his
knee. With lifted blade and whirling maces
the Norman knights charge through the
breach.
"Look up; look up and guard thy head,"
cries the fatal voice of Haco to the king.
At that cry the king raises his flashing
eyes. Why halts his stride I Why drops
the axe from his hand ? As he raised his
head, down came the hissing death-shaft
It smote the lilted lace ; it crushed into the
dauntless eye-balk He reeled, he staggered,
lie fell back several yards, at the loot of his
gorgeous standard. With desperate hand he
broke the head of the shalt, and left the
barb, quivering-in the anguish.
Garth knelt over him.
''Fight on," gasped the king, "conceal
my death! Holy Crosse! England to the
rescue: Woe—woo
Rallying himself a moment, he sprang to

ot ce more a corpse.
TUE7BAnLmim.—The folrwing incident
we relate on the ainhorily oI the oh! sailor,
who delivered a temperatiee lecture on board
a steamboat running betweetiNew York and
New Haven.
1 Having found a : man who was divested of
all decent clothing, and in a wretched state
of health in consequence of thinking, he in
duced him, amidst the discouregernents ot '
1 the tavern keeper, at 'whose house he had
found him, to sign the temperance pledge for
one year. ' The landlord prophesied that lie
would not keep the pledge a year, or thht if
he did he would • never renew it. As the
1 year was coming to a close, the old sailor
called upon the man and secured his signa
ture again. . . e signed it for 999 years, vvith_

A LMOST A FIOIIT j On A TALE OF A HORSE.—
A better joke came off the other afternoon,
on one of our Brooklyn ferry-boats, than of
ten occurs.in this fun-benighted country.
A gentlenian who evidently had dined,
drove on the boat, ads] forgetting the festtna
lents rules-of . -ferries, neatly 'drove over a
very angry looking individual, who, if one .
might judge horn the acerbity!: of his counte
nance, had not; the liner seeing, the vision
of a horse's - head appear over his shoulder.
wheeled suddenly and caught the beast by
the:bridle, looking horse whips at the incum
brer.t of the carriage.
'What the - a —I do you Mean by catching
hold of my horse?r said the driver.
'And what the d—l do :you mean by al
most driving over me?' replied the holder,
in the true Yankee spirit of answering one
question by asking another.
'Let go the horse P
'I will not !t
The driver dismounted, advanced toward
the other, whip in hand, and shortening his
hold upon the handle, sung out in a voice of
thunder, tell yon, sir, let go that horse P
I'll be d—d di do 1'
'You won't ?"No.'
'Well, then,' replied the driver, throwing
his whip into the vehicle, ay planting his
hands oomlortably in his pockets, 'Well, -
then, just hold him, will you?' So saying
with a polite bow and quizzical grit:, he
vanished i ito the cal in.
The crowd of passengers ''ho. had been
standing 'speculators of the fight' roared aloud,
not 'quiic as gently, however, 'as staktag
doves,' and the contending party, dropping
the reins as it they were unpleasantly warm,
marched off for the other end of the boat, his
whole appearance bearing a striking resem
blance to that of a man detected in the act of
purloining his eeignbor'a mutton. '

ANECDOTE OF GEN. TAYLOR.
WASHINGTON, July 2
While Gen. (then Col.) Tarim was eery.
ins. in Florida,lie captured many negroes in
his conflicts, with the Indians. Many. of
these tiegroes were claimed by periona
Georgia and Alabama, from whose 'service
or froni the service of whose fathers it was
contended they. had - escaped. Agents on
behalf of the claimants Are dispatOyd,:to
Col.. TAYLOR ; seeking, to recover them.—
Proof of identity of the persons claimed as
slaves was
,proffered,-and the right of pro.
pertylneisted upon. Col. Taylor relueed to
allow the claim, or even to examine it. .He
had come to Florida to serve in the .army
against tile Indians, not to act as a negro
catcher. His commission, he said, gave him
no judicial powers, and he could not assume
to determine matters beyond his prcivincei
The disappointed and enraged applicants,
after having tnedi' ---- 1T%" •- lt-rm0er means to op.
n'erate upon. Col. Tayloi favorably, carried
their complaints to the Secretary of War.—
He entertained Their view of the case. In
consequence, an order issued hom the De
partment was addressed to Maj. Gen. Jessup,
then commanding in Mork's, directing the
Surrender of the captured negroes to the
agent of the claimants. A similar order was
issued to Col. Taylor. The' lollowing is his
reply, as copied from the record in the War
Department:
HEADQUARTERS, ARKS OF TIIE SOUTH,
Tampa, (Florida) June 2, 1838.
Genera/ Jaave the 'honor to acknowl
edge your communication of the 10th May,
1838, accompanied by one•of the 9th, from
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, adress
ed to Capt. Cooper, acting Secretary of War,
on the subject of turning over certain negroes
captured by the Creek •wairrions in dflorida,
to a Mr. Collins, their agent, in compliance
with an engagement - of Gern - Jess.up - ." --------- 7
I know nothing of the negroes in question,
nor of the Subject, farther than what is con
tained in the communication above referred
to; but I must state distincily,:for the jailor-•
matron of all concerned, that while I shalt
hold myself ever ready to do the utmost in
my power to get the Indians and their ne
groes out of Florida, as well as to remove
them to their new homes west of the Mis
sissippi, I cannot for a moment consent to
meddle in this transaction,
or to be concern
ed, for the benefit of Mr. Collins, the Creek
Indians, or any one else i or to intertere in
anyway between the Indians...and their ne
groes, which may have, a tendency to de
prive the former of, their property, and re
duce the latter from a Comparative state of free
dogi, to that of slavery .at the same time
shall'take every mitions,tc&btain and restore
to his lawful owner '
;iifinlave among the
Indians who has abscondod'or been captured,
by them.
Very respectfully, I have the honor to be,
General, your obed't serv't,
Z. TAYLOR.

General R. JONES, Adjt. Gen. U. S. Army,
Washington, D. C.
Here Gen. Taylor showed !timely as firm'
in resisting what he conside.red anillegal and
disgracelut order of the Department, as he
had been prevsourly AA the importunities
or threats of the slave-hunters. Hie com
mission was in the power of Fie President
to revoke_ at any time; his honor was above
the reach of the President; it was dearer to_
him than all commissions.
Speech from Gen. Taylor.
At New Orleans, on the 3d.inst., a cere
mony of a most interesting character took
place at the St. (Medea Hotel. It was the
presentation of the gold medal_ ndered by
the State. of Louisiana as a gift to A;lnj. Gen.
Zachary Taylor.
The medaLwas_presented bylevi-Plerce,
