THE DESERTED CHILDREN,
a ncAi. isciuen r.
Ih the Autumn of 182J, a man tv in descending
‘^ie Ohio river, with throe small children, i:i a ea
rn.c. lie had lost his wife, urn) in tho emigrating
gpirit ofourpeop'e, was transporting his all toa new
lio'citry, where be miglil ngni.i begin the world.—
Arriving towards evening at u small island, he
landed there with the intention of encamping for
the night. After remaining a short time, he de-
termhnjd to visit the opposite shore, for tt(e pur
pose, probably, of purchasing provisions; and tel-
ing his chilttri
Jing his children that he would soon return to
them, he puddled off, leaving them ulnue on the
fsia >d. Unfortunately, he met on the shore some
loose company who invited him to drink. He be
came intoxicated, und in attempting to return to
the .sland in the night was drowned. The canoe
floated away, and m> one knew of the catastrophe
lire following day.
The poor, deserted children, in the mean while,
truadeted about the uninhabited island, straining
thairdittie e,, os to catch a glimpse of their father.
Night cume, m d they hud no lire, no food—no
bed to rest upon, and no parent to u ulcli over
them. The weather was extremely cold, and the
eldest child, though bat eight years of age, remem
bered to have heard that persons, who slept in the
Ou!d, were sometimes chill'd to death. She con
tinued, therefore, to wander about) and when the
y..Hugest children, worn out with fatigue and
drowsiucsB, were ready to drop into slumber, she
kept them awake with amusing and alarming sto-
jfies. At hut, nature could hold out no longer,
and the little ones, chilled and aching with cold.
Ih. iv themselves on tho ground. Their sister sat
down, and spreading out her garments as wide as
possible, drew them ori her lap, und endeuvored to
impart the warmth of her own bosom, as they slept
(weotly on her arms.
Morning enme, and tho desolate children sat on
Die shore, weeping bitterly. At length they were
Cited with joy, at the sight ot a canoe approaching
ill - island. But they soon discovered that it was
fllied'with Indians ; their delight was changed in
to lei-mr.iaiid they fled into the woods. Believing
that the.savages had murdered their father, und
»ow were come to seek for them, thay crouched
tnidu-'the bashes, hiding in breathless tear, like a
brood of young partridges.
The Indians having kindled a fire, set-down n-
Qnind it, and began to cook their morning menl,
and the oldest child, as she peeped out from her
lii ling place, began to think tiiat they Imd not kil
led their father. She reflected too that they must
Inevitably starve, if left on this lone island, while
on the other hand, there wns a possibility of being
kindly treated by the Indians. The cries too, of
tier brother and sister, who had been begging pi
teously for food, had pierced her heart, ami awiik-
tmed all berenergy. She told the little ones, over
whose feebler minds her fine spirit hud acquired
•a absolute sway, to get up and go with her—then
-taking a hand of each, she fearlessly led tneui to
the Indian camp fire. Fortunately, the savages
understood our language, and when the little girl
explained to them what had ocrured, they receiv
ed the deserted children kindly, and conducted
them to the nearest of our towns, where they were
'.kept by some benevolent people until their own
gelations claimed them.

Former events, and our advanced ages, preclude

The valor, the judgment, tire independence of

triotism of our great commander, Washington, led
u* triumphantly through the Revolutionary war,
and the nation through the first periods of the Fe
deral Constitution ; and we have entire confidence

will, under God, preserve inviolate our liberties,

may be perpetual. May Voor days be long and

The nets of Congress.—We have the sat-
isfaction of giving lo our readers, this morn
ing, a complete list of nil the nets which
passed Congress during the Session which
has just closed.
Never has u session pnssed under our ob
servation, in which so little business has
been done, good, had, or indifferent; which
peculiarity of this Session is obviously at
tributable to n pnrty organization existing
iu both branches, stronger than either tho
personal convictions of members, or tlie
imperative demands of public duty.
Few Sessions 4f Confront have ever pas
sed, however, to whose actual doings so lit
tle exception could he lakeii. Congress
certainly have loft undone many tilings
which they ought to hnve done ; hut what
they hnve done is much of it (what little
there is of it) good.
The appropriation bills for tho support of
the viu ions branches of the Government
have all passed ; and liberal appropriations
have been made tor tbe fortifications and
for tiie I’ublic Buildings.
The other public acts, r.f most importance,
ure those which have relation to objects of
internal improvement, to which seven hun
dred thousand dollar* have been appropria
ted, tit this Session, by various nets ; such is
the act for the continuation of tire Cumber
land Road, the act for extending it beyond
Zanesville, and the act providing for the re
pair of lire mild, fur which latter object n
hundred thousand dollars have linen appro
printed, (the provision fur sreeling gates up
on it having been rejected in the trehnte.)
The Louisville and Bortlaud Canal, the
Chesapeake nnd Delaware Canal, und the
Dismal Swamp Canal, &tbu Military Road
in Maine, have also received, in several acts,
tire aid of Congress.
After the hill concerning Public Build
ings, ibe only interesting measure of the
Session, concerning tire District in which
we live, is the bill for organizing tire gov
ernment of the Peintouliary, which "ill

the most solemn of all duties to iny country, the
companions of the immortal Washington, will af
ford me satisfaction and grateful encouragement.
That by iny best exertions, I shall be able to ex
hibit more than an imitation of his paU-iotic, labors,
a sense of my own imperfections, and the reve

To you, respected friends, the survivors of that
heroic hand, who followed him so long and so va
liantly in lira path of glory, I offer my sincere
thanks, and to heaven iny prayers, that your rc-
maining years inny lie as Imppy as your toils and
