From a small volume, under the above title, published in this city, we make the following extracts. They are descriptive ofscenes which occur only in a state of war, and which are hap. pily nnlVeqncnt in our country. m As the volume is but lit'le known, they will doubtless be ac ceptabb* to our readers. The tale from which i they are taken is called “Soldier’s Bride,” and is mostly taken up with scenes drawn from mili-j lary life. •‘A few years ago, that part of the s*afe of New. York, which lies along the main route fromj the Hudson to the western lakes, presented an : agrceahle, hut eccentric diversity, of scenic beauty, combining the wildest traits of nature, J 1 <p t 3 j with the cheerful indications of enlightened civ-j ditv, and rural comfort. The desert smiled, hut ! ,t smiled in its native beauty. The loot ofsci- ! cnee had not vet wandered thither : nor had the j amjile coders of a s’ate been opened, t« ► diffuse j with unexampled munificence, over a widely j pread domain, the blessings of industry and i commerce. The beautiful villages scattered I throughout this extensive region, exhibited a neatness, taste, and order, which would have been honorable to older communities. Between j these little towns, lav extensive tracts of wild- j deniess, still tenanted by the deer, andcnlight '•ned bv the notes of the feathered tribes. Farms, I rv-wlv opened, were thinly dispersed at convent-j * Tit distances. The traveller, as he held his s ditary way among the shadows of the forest,! acknowledged the sovereignty of the sylvan dei-j ties, whose sway seemed undisputed; hut from i These sib nt shades he emerged bt once into thej light of life and civilized society. Such were! the c ffects produced by an industrious, and some what refined population, thrown among the ro. r aatic lakes, the fertile vallics, and the bound- j kss forest of the West. “ The war of 1812, while it exposed the, fee bio settlements of the frontier to the d.anger of hostile incursions, produced life and hustle, whore before fill had been silence and repose. -Multitudes of men penetrated the quiet recesses] of the forest, and pitched their tents l>y the peace-{ Til waters, whose murmurs had heretofore' mingled harmoniously with the songs of the na tive melodists. The drum, the trumpet, and the life—the clash of arms and the heavy reverbe rations of artillery—the rumbling of wheels, and the voices of men—all that is discordant, and all that is inspiring, in the sounds of war,! hurst upon the repose of the wilderness. In. regions, however, such terrific indications las'ed but for a moment —the gust of war,l like the summer cloud sporting its forked light-; ningsns it swept along, rolled onward, to tic-1 velopc its awful splendor, and destructive enor fly. on the distant field of battle. “ In the spring of the year 1814, a company ! of American soldiers, destined for the shores of lake Erie, inarched through this sequestered j couu f ry. I’pon a delightful evening, late in the j month of May, they arrived at one of those pret ty villages to which I have alluded, upon the borders of a small lake. This little hand con s.sted of about ninety, newly enlisfed men, com manded by a single officer, whose youthful ap-! P' arancc indicated that his military career had .as yet boon brief.—The vicinity ofa comfbrta-| hie hamlet, and the signs of civility and plenty,! wore peculiarly grateful to the weary soldiers,! who had toiled on their march, from the dawn, 1 nn'il near the close, of an unusually sultry day..! If not “ tired of'war’s alarms,” they wore op- , pressed with its fatigues. Emerging from thej iv>som of the monotonous forest, whose loneli- | ness and silence had become tiresome, they halt- ; *'d on a small eminence, and gazed upon the scenes before them. There were groups of cot-! I tages embowered in shrubbery, and n b wcdill- | ces of higher pretensions, hut less picturesque:'] and there was a village church, white as thej j driven snow, pure and spotless as the purpose toi which it was devoted—with its pointed spire, di-1 reeling the soul to another world. The beams; t O_ j j of the evening sun glittered over tnc blue wa-[ tors of the lake, and the surrounding objects] throw their long shadows upon its tranquil mir-l ror. The lake itself, buried among the hills and, woods, indented with bays and promontaries, 1 ] was so beautifully romantic, that even the rug ged soldiers seemed to inhale refreshment as they, passed along i‘s delightful shores. An unpractised observer would have smiled to soe how much importance was given to the ar-. raagementof a little band of jaded recruits, pre vious to their exhibition in a secluded hamlet. But what soldier triumphs not hi the conquest of h female heart ?—where is the martial spirit,' that is not elated with the smile of beauty I Churlish indeed would be the leader, who should fail in the observance of a customary homage to •ho fair, even ofa vHlage. Not so our officer— he determined that every heart in the hamlet should beat to the music of his drum —and cheerily issued his orders. The stragglers are called in, and the ranks closed. The systematic order of parade takes place of the looseness of the march. The soldier, whose weary limbs. Sfcomcd incapable of further exertion, now ap. pears to inhale new life; his nerves are braced,j his form erected, and hia arms grasped with: vigour. The drum s’rikes up a lively march— 1 the little fifl*r sends forth his shrillest notes —the' word :s given, and the body moves forward! w ith a firm and rapid step. The piercing sounds i wafted over the lake, announce the approach of •the military strangers. The villager quits his ! work tos’are, the enraptured children rush to ' join the cavalcade, the ladies forsake the tea-ta ; hie, and fly to the windows, to admire “the handsome fellows”—and the soldier is rewarded for his momentary exertion; conscious tint* he has exci ed a vivid interest, which will not he forgotten—at least with the next twenty.four hours. In the rear comes the baggage wagon, loaded, followed, and preceded, by men, women, and children—the sick, the weary, and the lame. But even these are not without their pride. The poor soldier, with his knapsack at his back, his child on one arm, and his wife lean ing upon the other, flicks himself as much “ his country’s stay, * In the clay and hour of danger,” as the stoutest comrade in the ranks. | “ The young officer led his command proud ly through the village, and selected a retired spot on the margin of the kike for his encamp ment. Arrived at -the welcome place of rest, a new scene of bustle ensues. The officer marks off the ground for his camp, and surrounds it by a line of sentinels. The pleas of fatigue are not allowed to interfere with the established rules of discipline, and all are actively engaged in erecting the frail tenements ofcanvass, which are to protect them during the night. The wag ons discharge their multifarious burthens, and each reclaims his own. Thcjtonts are pitched in a regular line, with technical accuracy. Par ties are despatched to procure water, and wood, and straw. The fires arc kindled in the rear of the encampment, the business of cooking com mences, and cheerfulness reigns throughout. The sly jest, the loud laugh, and martial song resound. Satisfied wjih the present enjoyment, the careless soldiers soon forgot their past fatigues, and took little thought of the toils that awaited them.” * * * * * * ♦ “ The battle took place on tho margin of the Niagara river, on an extensive plain, which had ' once been covered with fine farms, but now, j forsaken by i s inhabitants, desolated by war, jit exhibited o?dy a barren waste. The river at that place begins to acquire some of that te rri : sic velocity, with which it rushes over the awful ! precipice throe miles below, creating one of the grandest natural curiosities in existence : the noise of the cataract is heard, and the column [of foam dis'inctly seen, from the battle ground. jOn the other side the field is bounded by a thick forest, but the plum itself presented a level smooth surface, unbroken by ravines, and with out a tree or hush to intercept the view, or an obstacle to impede the movements of the hos tile bodies, or to afford to either party an ad vantage. From this plain tho^American camp was separated by a small creel:. In the full glare ofa summer sun, on the morning of the sth of July, the British troops wore seen ad vanning towards our camp, across the destined field of strife, their waving plumes, their scar let uniforms, and gilded ornaments, exhibited a gay and gorgeous appearance—their mar tial music, their firm and rapid step, indicating elastic hopes and high courage. Thq Ameri cans, inferior in number, were hastily put in motion to meet the advancing foe ; they cross ed a small rude bridge, the only outlet from j the camp, under a heavy fire of the enemy’s ar tillery; and moved steadily to the spot select, ed for the engagement. The scene at this mo. ment was beautiful and imposing. The British line, glowing with golden and crimson hues, was stretched across the plain, flanked by pieces of brass ordnance, whose rapid discharge Ii spread death over the field, and filled the air with thunder ; while the clouds of smoke en -1 veloping each extremity of the line* left thecen- I .tre only exposed to the eye, and extending otT i to the river on the one hand, and the forest on ' the other, filled the whole back ground of the landscape. The Americans were advancing in column. They were new recruits, now led for the first time into action, and except a few of ! the officers, noire of all that heroic band, had j ever before seen the banner ofa foe. But they moved steadily to their ground, unbroken by the galling five; and platoon after platoon, wheeled into line with the same graceful accu racy of movement which marks the evolutions of the holiday parade, until the whole column i J was deplored into one extended front; the of ficers carefully dressing the line with technical ; skill, and the brigade evincing, by its deep si i lence, and the faithful precision of its move jj incuts, the subordination of strict discipline, !• and the steady firmness of determined courage. 1 Now the musketry of the enemy began to raG ’ tie, pouring bullets as thick as hail upon our j ranks. Still, not a trigger was drawn, not a! ] voice was heard on our side, save the quick I peremptory tones of command. General Scott! * rode along the line cheering and restraining his | [I troops ; then passing from flank to flank to see! j that all was as lie wished, he wheeled his steed in-j 'i to the rear of the troops and gave the command j to“ fire.” A voice was immediately heard in the: I British rank—supposed to be that of their com-; ! mander: exclaiming,“charge the d—d Yankees! 1 charge thed —d buffalo militia! charge? charge!” ' The American general ordered his men to “sup port arms!” The British rushed forward with bayonets charged; but they were struck with amazement when they beheld those whom their ; commander had tauntingly called militia , stand ling motionless as statues ; their muskets erect, their arms folded across their breasts, gazing calmly at the hostile ranks advancing furiously with levelled bayonets ? It was a refinement of discipline rarely exhibited, and here altogthcr unexpected. The Americans stood until the enemy approached within a few paces ; until the foemen could see the fire flashing from each I other’s eyes; and each could read the expression of his adversary’s face; then, deliberately as the word was given, the Americans levelled Their pieces and fired—and the whole of the enemy’s line seemed annihilated ! Many were killed* many wounded, and some rushing forward with a powerful momentum, fell over their pro strate companions, or were thrown down by the weight of succeeding combatants. In one in ‘ s tant the ground lately occupied by that gallant lino, wa&coTorcd by flying Britons; in another. a second line had advanced to sustain the con j] test, while the broken fragments of the first were • 1 rallied behind it. The “Buffalo militia” were now- the assailants, advancing with charged | i r • • ~ bayonets. Then it was that the young Ame rican chiefs, who led that gallant host, displayed [the skill of veterans, and the names of Scott,; Jessup, Leavenworth, M’Niel, and llinman, 1 were given to their country to adorn the prou dest page of its history. Five and thirty , minutes decided the contes - , and the retiring foe ] was pursued and driven to his fortress. None : who saw, will forget the terrific beauty of that [scene —the noble appearance of the troops —the , dreadful precision of every movement —die awful j » .fury of the battle —Its fatal severity—its brief i continuance—its triumphant close. | ‘As the victors returned from the pursuit of [the retreating enemy, a scene of intense interest i was presented. They traversed the field which * J t !a few minutes before had sparkled with the proud [equipage of war. There had been gallant men ! and gay uniforms and waving banners ; and there i had been drums and trumpets, rind the wild notes of the bugle, stirring the soul to action. There had been nodding plumes <sc boating hearts, and •eyes that gleamed with valor and ambition. [ There too had been tempestuous chiefs, emulous 'of fame, dashing their fiery steeds along the i hostile ranks ; and there had been all the spirit j stirring sights and sounds !lint fill the eye and ! the heart of the young warrior, more than the [poet’s fire so the entranced imagination.— [ What a change had a few brief moments {produced? Now the field was strewed wi’h 1 ghastly heaps of hloo-ly and disfigured forms : with the wounded, the mutilated, and the dying. 7'he ear was filled wi.h strange and melancholy, and terrrific sounds ; the shouts of victory had given place to groans of an jgnish, tlv j complaints of the vanquished, the jpraj’crs or the imprecations of the dying.— ; Here was one who called on heaven to protect ; his children; another raved of a bereaved wife ; ]a third tenderly aspirated a beloved name, con 's crated only by that tic—while others depreca ted their own sufferings, or pleaded piteously! for the pardon of their own sins. Here were] those who prayed ardently for death, and some] who implored a few moments more of life*. Com- j plaints of bodily pain, and confessions of unre ! pented crime, burst forth from the souls of many jin heart-rending accents ; while some, as they ! gazed upon the fast flowing crimson torrent, wasted the brief remains of breath in moralizing upon the shortness of life, and man’s careless 1 1 prodigality of existence. Many go Hunt spirits] there wore on that ensanguined plain, who pray-1 ed silently; and some who dared not pray, and | yet scorned so murmur. Their compressed lips bespoke their firmness; their eyes wandered wildly and wistfully over the bright scene that was fading before them, and they grasped fer vently the hands of those who mournfully bade them farewell. Last of all were seen those in whom the soldier’s enthusiasm overpowered eve ry other sensation, who smiled at pain, and wel comed victory even in death, j “ I’he actors in this scone seemed to have! multiplied for those who had occupied but a small; space when marshalled in compact bodies, were] now scattered widely over the plain. At one spot was a group of men, at another a heap of mutilated bodies; all around were broken car-j riagesymd the carcasses of men and horses. 'J’hel distinctions of rank and country had ceased withj many. 7’he British grenadier and the Ameri can rifleman slept in death together, & the limbs of the common sentinel were thrown across thej body of his officer. The soldier slightly hurt,, snpported'his desperately wounded enemy; the] dying Englishman reclined his bend upon the ! lap of the bleeding American, and the American! threw his exhausted frame into the arms of thej vanquished Briton. Everyone demanded help! ; from the nearest hand, or afforded it where it j seemed the most necessary. The sullen pride! of the vanquished, and the ready courtesy of! the victors, alone distinguished their deport-! ment.” " FUIA Tlfi i* iTr Y •-F the drawing of the cnntcmp'ared GOLD AND * P LAND LOTTERIES , will he regularly issued I from this office.
