; THE BATTLE OF GIIOKOW.
j The battle of Grokotv, the greatest in
Europe since that of \V aterloo, was fought
on the twenty-fifth of February, 1831, and
tlie place where I stood commanded a
I view of the whole ground. The Russian
army was under the command of Diebitsch,
and consisted of one hundred and forty
two thousand infantry, forty thousand cav
| airy, and three hundred and twelve pieces
of cannon. This enormous force was ar
ranged in two lines of combatants, and a
third of reserve. Its left wing, between
Wavre and the niarshesof the Vistula, con
sisted of four divisions of infantry of forty
seven thousand men; three of cavalry of
ten thousand five hundred, and one hun
dred and eight pieces of cannon; the right
consisted ol three and a half divisions of
infantry of thirty-one thousand men, four
divisions of cavalry of fifteen thousand
seven hundred and fifty men, and fifty-two
pieces of cannon. Upon the borders of
the great forest opposite the Forest of El-'
I tiers, conspicuous from where 1 stood,!
was placed the reserve, commanded by
the Grand Duke Constantine. Against
this immense army the Poles opposed less
i than fifty thousand men and a hundred
i pieces of cannon, under the command of
j General Skrzynecki.
j At break ol day the whole force of the
Russian right wing, with a terrible fire of
| fifty pieces of artillery and columns of in
fantry, charged the Polish left with the
! determination of carrying it by a single!
and overpowering effort. The Poles, with :
six thousand five hundred men and twelve!
pieces of artillery, not yielding a foot of!
ground, and knowing they could hope for :
no succor, resisted this attack for several
hours, until the Russians slackened their
fire. About ten o’clock the plain was sud
denly covered with the Russian forces issu
ing from the cover of the forest, seeming one
undivided mass ol troops. Two hundred
pieces of cannon, posted on a single line, j
commenced a lire which made the earth 1
Tremble, and v*<ia mure terrible mail the
[oldest officers, many of whom had fought!
latMarego and Austerlitz, had ever be-J
j held. The Russians now made an attack !
upon the right w ing—but foiled as upon !
the left, Diebitsch directed the strength of!
his army against the Forest of Elders, j
hoping to divide the Poles into two parts.!
One hundred and twenty pieces of camion J
were brought to bear on this one point,
and fifty battalions, incessantly pushed
to the attack, kept up a scene of massacre!
unheard of in the annals of war. A Pol
ish officer who was in the battle told me !
that the small streams which intersected J
the forest were so choked with dead that
the infantry marched directly over their j
bodies. The heroic Poles, with twelve'
battalions, for four hours defended the i
forest against the tremendous attack. |
Nine times they were driven out, and |
•fine times, by a scries of admirably ex
ecuted manoeuvres, they repulsed the Rus- j
sians with immense loss. Batteries, now
concentrated in one point, were in a mo
ment hurried to another, and the artille- j
jry advanced to the charge like cavalry,
| sometimes v-Rli'm a hundred feet of the |
enemy s columns, and there opened a mur
j derous fire of g t: ,p e .
| At three o clock, the Generals, many of
, whom were wounded, and most of whom i
h.ul their horses shot under them, and
fought on loot at the head of their divi-ji
sions, resolved upon a retrogndc move
ment, so as to draw the Russians on the ;
open plain. Diebitsch, supp,, s j„,r Rtobe •
a flight, looked over to the city° and ex
claimed, “Well then, it appear* that af
ter the bloody day, I shall take tcainthe Bel
vidcre Palace.”—The Russian troop s de
j bouched from the forest. A cloud of I\, lS _ I
|sian cavalry, with several regiments of ht,.
jvy cuirassiers at their head, advanced to I
the attack. Colonel Pietka, who had j
! kept up an unremitting (ire from his bat-;
jtery for five hours, seated with perfect!
!sang froid upon a disabled piece of can-!
non. remained to give another effective
fire, then left at full gallop a post which he
' had so long occupied under the terrible
lire of t he enemy’s artillery. This rapid
movement of his battery animated the
j Russian forces. The cavalry advanced *
[on a trot upon the line of a battery of!
! rockets. A terrible discharge was poured
! into their ranks, and the horses, galled to ‘
| madness by the flakes of fire, became *
wholly ungovernable, and broke away,!
spreading disorder in every direction; the'
! whole body swept helplessly along the fire !
!of the Polish infantry, and in a few min
: utes was so completely annihilated that,
‘of a regiment of cuirassiers who bore in
scribed on their helmets the ‘lnvinciblos,’ j
! not a man escaped. The wreck of the
routed cavalry, pursued by the lancers,,
carried along in its flight the columns of
infantry. A general retreat commenced 1
land the cry of “Poland for ever !” reach
ed the walls of Warsaw to cheer the |
j hearts of its anxious inhabitants. So ter
rible was the fire ol that dav, (hat in the 1
| Polish army there was not a single gener
al or staff officer who had not his horse
; killed or wounded under him, two thirds
j of the officers, and perhaps, of the soldiers,
j had their clothes pierced with halls, and
more than a tenth part of the army were
wounded. Thirty thousand Russians and
ten thousand Poles were left on the field
of battle: rank upon rank lay prostrate on
the earth, and the Forest of Elders was so
strewed with bodies that it received from
that day the name of‘Forest of the Dead.’
The Czar heard with dismay, and all Eu
rope with astonishment, that the crosser
of the Balkan had been foiled under the
walls of Warsaw.
All day, my companion said, the can
nonading was terrible. Crowds of citi
zens, of both sexes and all ages, were as
sembled on the spot where we stood, ear
nestly w atching the progress of the battle,
sharing in all its vicissitudes, in the high
est state of excitement as the clearing up
of the columns of smoke showed when the
Russians or Poles had fled; and he describ
ed the entry of the ren mint of the Polish
army into Warsaw as sublime and terri
ble; their hair and faces were begrimed I
with powder and blood; their armor shat
tered and broken; and all, even dying!
men, were singing patriotic songs; and!
when the fourth regiment, among whom!
was a brother of my companion, and who:
had particularly distinguished themselves
in the battle, crossed the bridge and filed
slowly through the streets, their lances
shivered against the cuirasses of the
guards, their helmets broken, their faces;
black and spotted with blood, some erect,!
some tottering, and some barely able to!
sustain themselves in the saddle, above |
the stern chorus of patriotic songs rose*
the distracted cries of mothers, wives,
daughters, and lovers, seeking among this
broken band for forms dearer than life,
many of whom were then sleeping on the
battle-field. My companion told me that
he was then a lad of seventeen, and had j
begged with tears to he allowed to accorn-j
pany his brother; hut his widowed mother
extorted from him a promise that lie would I
not attempt it. All day he had stood with I
ins monier uu inquiry spot wneru nu am,
his hand in hers, which she grasped con
vulsively, as every peal of cannon seemed
the knell of her son; and when the lan
cers passed, she sprang from his side as
she recognized in the drooping figure of
an officer, with his spear broken in his
hand, the figure of her gallant boy. He
was then reeling in his saddle, his eye
was glazed and vacant, and he died that
night in their arms.
llow to i*av for a Farm. A man
in the town of D , some twenty years
ago, went to a merchant in Portsmouth,
N. 11., who was of a Bank,
and stated that he lived on a farm, the
home of his fathers, which had descended
to him by right of inheritance: that this,
his only property, was mortgaged to a
merciless creditor, anti that the time of
redemption would he out in a week. He
offered to remortgage his farm.
Mer. I have no money to spare; and
if I could relieve you now, a similar diffi
culty would probably arise in a year or
two.
Far. No, I would make every exertion:
I think I could clear it.
Mer. Well, it you will obey my direc
tions, I can put you in a way to gel the
money; hut it will require the greatest
prudence and resolution. If you can get
a good endorser on a note, you shall have
money from the bank, and you can mort
gage your farm to the endorser, for the se
curity. You must pay in one hundred
dollars every sixty days. Can you do it?
Far. I can get Mr. for endorser,
I and I can raise the hundred dollars for cv

M cr. Then borrow a hundred dollars
more than yon want, and let it lie in the
bank: you will lose only one dollar inter

you must spend nothing—buy nothing:

He departed, the note was discounted,
and the payments punctually made. In
something moto than two years, he came
again into the si, jre of the merchant, and
exclaimed, “ lam u freeman —I don’t owe

TO THE OFFICERS OF THE NAVY,
j Ihe honor of your profession has been
called in question. The officers of the
Navy are accused of distracting the serv
ice with mean and pitiful jealousies—of
skulking from duty—of feeding on the
vitals and sucking the blood of their coun
try—of being governed by a sordid and
itching, grasping, monopolizing spirit—
of making gain their object, and money
their god. Our character is wantonly as
sailed. Reproached with the most oppro
brious epithets, we arc spurned as toad
eaters, cut-purses and cut throats, and
with insult threatened to he dragged into
service like Africans into slavery. In
short, we are said to be a horde of tinkers
and coblers, who have disgraced our cail
ing, and brought our navy to so low an
ebb, that “no man living can bring it back
to the high water mark of glory.”
We are denounced in sweeping terms.
An attack upon all, is an attack upon
each one; and every officer of spirit feels
himself as much aggrieved, and as much
honorably bound to notice the insult, as
though the calumny had been addressed to
him alone.
”1 he charges are preferred in the col
umns ol a newspaper, which is under the
immediate control of the Executive. It is
considered and acknowledged to lie the
political organ of the administration, and
the sentiments and opinions set forth in
its columns, are received as the authoriz
ed expressions of Executive will. What
ever appears in it relating to public meas
ures, or to any of the several departments
under Executive control, the people are
wont to consider as sanctioned by official
authority. And the fact is notorious, that
the officers both of the Army and the Na
vy, are in tho habit of considering and
treating all general orders, regulations,
and every thing relating to the police of
their branch of service published there,
as official acts authorised by the head of
their department.
The so circumstances invest the charg
es with the most grave character, and
press them home upon us for our most se
rious eunstcierattoh. ir raise, they con
tain matter of impeachment—if true, ev
ery officer must how his head in infamy,
and the American Navy will be blotted
out from the annals of the nation. Com
mon sense forbids the idea that a matter
involving such consequences, should be
lightly hazarded, or set forth without
much deliberation, and the sanction of
high authority.
Those who preferred them have ( bccn
called on by the public voice to withdraw
charges—but the charges were reiterated,
and it possible made more offensive than
ever.
Placed in this condition, it would he
turpitude itself to talk of an alternative.
Wc have but one course left us. We must
act. In our passivencss, good men would
read guilty! guilty! to every base charge
and specification on the long list of crime
alleged against us.
Every American citizen has a right to
demand the name and presence of his ac
cuser. This right belonged to us before
we were sailors, and we have not surren
dered it by our subsequent engagement as
officers. Leaning on this privilege, wc
look to our country for protection, and to
the law for justice.
A high functionary of the Government
was accused as the calumniator of the
Navy. N timorous calls through the pub
lic prints have been made, in the most re
spectful manner, on him to come and de
ny the charge. The respect which we
have for his office, forbade the belief
among us that he should be so unmindful
of decorum, so lost to honor and to prin
ciple, as to attack us and our calling,
when he should protect and defend both
—that he should so far forget the dignity
of his station, or would degrade himself
by stooping to the columns of a newspa
per, thereto seek, in the most insidious
manner, to poison the public mind against
us and our profession, we are unwilling
to believe. He has made no disclaimer.
His silence increases the ground of suspi
cion. That silence and the relation he
holds to the Navy, add to the importance
of the charges against us.
The honor of the Navy is the honor of
the nation. Every true hearted Ameri
can looks upon our profession with feel
ings of pride, and, with emotions of pa
triotism, considers himself, in some meas
ure, identified with it. He, too, feels that
he Ins been scandalized by the manner
in which our character has been assailed.
The eyes of our countrymen are turned
towards us with an expression of look
that cannot be misunderstood. We owe
it to them to explain to the world why we
have been so long silent under such foul
aspersions.
| Wc go upon, and have acted up to, the
Principle, that the Navy is the nation’s,
j and wc the officers of our country —and
'we i, rf > resolved never to compromit the
! honor yf the one, nor the usefulness of
I the other, by lending our official
ter to any tfivug that savors of party. The
fact that the loudest and most earnest
calls lor the author of the charges, came
from that portion of the press known as
the Opposition, placed us under restraints
which prudence required we should not
regard. We were constrained to be si
lent, lest by demanding the name of our
assailant when the press was loudest in
its calls, we should lose our vantage ground
by incurring the additional charge of act
ing with a party, and of lending the Na
vy to political purposes.
Thus we have forborne to act. We have
patiently waited until the excitement pro
duced by a circumstance so astonishing
and extraordinary, should subside, though
not without the hope, that individual
charged with the libel would step forth as
well to repel the charge against himself, as
refute the calumny against the officers, j
Our hope has been disappointed. The
first burst of indignation is passed—the
cause of our silence is removed, a longer
inaction would be ruinous. It becomes
us as American officers—it is a duty we
owe to our country, to our absent comrades
and to ourselves, to rise up as one rnan to
protect the Navy from the envenomed
shafts of calumny, and to challenge our
accusers to make good their charges.
In the character of officers, we appeal
to our commander-in-chief, the President
of the United States, and with the lan
guage due his station, demand to know of I
him how far he sanctions those secret pro
ceedings against us. Nor shall the matter
rest until the innocent receive justice and
the guilty their reward.
Yours, very truly,

master of Evershaui Academy, weighed
upwards of twenty-six stone (3(54 lbs.) —
when twelve years old, he was nearly as
large as at the time of his death. At two
years of age, he required two nurses to
lift him in and out of his bed, one of
whom, in a fit of anger he felled to the
Poor with a blow of his hand. Dr. Staf
ford, who was enormously fat, was honor
ed with this epitaph:
Fake heed, oh good traveller, and do not tread

For here lies Dr. Stafford, in all this church

A n'ecdotck ok Le an Mkn.—A reverend
doctor of a very ghostly appearance, was
one day accosted by a fellow with the fol
lowing salutations: “Well, doctor, I hope
you have taken care of your soulV “Why,
my friend?” said the divine. “Because,”
replied the other, “your body is not worth
caring for.”
A poor diminutive Frenchman being
ordered by his Sangrado, to drink a quart
of ptisan daily, replied with a heavy sigh;
“Alas! doctor, that is impossible, since I
only hold a pint.”
When the Duke de Choiscnil, a remark
ably meagre man, came to London to ne
gotiate a peace, Charles Townsend being
asked whether the French government
had sent the preliminaries of a treaty, an
swered, “I do not know but they have
sent the outline of an ambassador.”
Periodica!. Stories. The celebrated
Bubb Doddington was very lethargic.
Falling asleep one day, after dining with
Sir Richard Temple and Lord Cobhani,
the general, the latter reproached Dod
dington with his drowsiness. Dodding
ton denied having been to
prove he had not, he offered to repeat all
Lord Cobham bad been saying. Cobliam
challenged him to do so. Doddington re
peated a story, and Lord Cobham owned
he had been telling it.—‘And yet,’ said
Doddington, ‘I did not hear a word of it;
but I went to sleep, because I knew that
about this time of day, you would tell that
story.’
A good story is told of an old boatman,
| from the Schuylkill, who repaired to the
menagerie in Philadelphia, and seeing all
its wonders, thus addressed the chief ex-
Jhibitor; "Well friend, I’ve seen all your
big beasts and zebras, and zepliyers, and
hyenas, and them things—now where’s I
your menagerie? where’s his cage—lj
want to look at him?”
[TERMS $3 Ilf AOYAS^t
On the 18th of August, the State debt
of Pennsylvania, as officially ascertained,
was $24,2£0,0QQ 32, very nearly the
whole of which has been expended by the
State in the construction of works of In
ternal Improvement, Turnpike Roads,
Canals and Rail roads,—and when the
works which the State is now prosecuting
are finished, her debt will rise to fall
$30,000,000. This at the first blush
would appear to be art enormous burthen
for any State to sustain, and yet it is the
result of the voluntary of the peo
ple, who by their representatives in the
Legislature have willed that* the debt
should be contracted on their behalf. The
sound wisdom of the policy whicli has
with so liberal a hand expended million
after million in the establishment of artifi
cial channels of trade that penetrate ev
ery part of her vast territory, is exempli
fied by the comparison of Pennsylvania
as she was before that policy was com
menced, and what she h:p since become
under its magic-working influences. The
increased value of property of every de
scription lias already iuditecUy paid th»
debt many times over. Iq fact, no true
estimate can be made of the amount of
benefits which has resulted to the-people
of Pennsylvania from their internal Im
provement system, and it will be recollect
ed, too, that each successive year iqcreas>-
es in a rapidly progressive ratio the vast
aggregate of prosperity flowing from this
source.
But it is not only indirectly that the
works of Pennsylvania are productive.
The direct revenue derived from tolls
thus far in the fiscal year is nearly *BOO,-
000, and by the period of its termination
it will probably reach SI,OOQ,OQQ. Had
not the freshet taken place which in Jane
Inst destroyed thirty miles of the Canal oft
the Juniata, and have proved a serious
drawback to the business and rpveuue* of
the Main line, there is but jifUe doubt
that the tolls of the yea? would have
reached $ 1,250,000, or more—miaking a
gross return of five per cent, on the whole
amount of the State’s debt. Tito princi
pal portion of the revenue from tdUs is de
rived from that part of the public works
known as the Main Line — extending from.
Philadelphia to Pittsburg. Tho Qaasie
above the Juniata, including those on
both Branches, costing about $ 5,000,000,
have produced but little revenue to the
State for want of an appropriate outlet
from Columbia directly down to rf |ha
Chesapeake. That outlet is now irifUfe
course of construction, and its comple
tion will at once bring such an amount of
new trade into action that the State’s re
venue from tolls in 1840 will be but little
if any short of $2,000,000. — [Pennsyl

Tub Alleghany River.— lt is gener
ally known that a survey of this noble riv
er was made last summer by authority of
Congress, from the mouth of Potatoe
creek, some miles above the town of
Glean, N. Y., to the mouth of French
creek, and from the last named point to
Pittsburgh and the report of Col. Kearney,
who surveyed this part of the river some
years since, was adopted. The object of
both these surveys was to ascertain the .
practicability and probable expense of
rendering it a good steamboat navigation.
Both reports are highly favorable, and
state that for a comparatively trifling sunt
the river could he rendered a good Stea
mboat navigation from Pittsburgh to Oban.
Olean is the point at whicn the great
Hudson and Erie Rail Road, and the
Rochester and Olean Canal .roach the
Alleghany river. Both these improve
ments are in progress and will be com
pleted in two or three years or perhaps
less. When these works shall hocem
pleted and the river improved, an im
mense trade and intercourse will immedi
ately follow. Long before these improve
ments can be completed, a Rail Road
will be made from Boston to Albany, ao
that wc shall have a direct communica
tion from this city by Steamboat and
Railroad both to and New York,
