MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS. The last moments of Jefferson andfyd- ams.—The following beautiful extiact'is ta ken from the first number of. the American Quarterly Review, p. 74, hnd is from the pen of Mr. Edward •Everett, a metnber of Congress from Massachusetts : “ The*veil of eternity was first lifted up from before the eyes of Mr. Jefferson. For several weeks, his strength had been gradu ally failing, though his mind’s vigor remain ed unimpaired. As he drew nearer to the last and no expectation remained that his term could be much protracted, hfc express ed no other wish, than that lie might live to breathe the air of the fiftieth anniversary of independence. This lie was graciously per mitted to do. Rut it was evident, on the morning of the fourth, that Providence in tended that tliis day, consecrated by his deed, should now be solemized by his death. On some momentary revival of his wasting .rtrenjitlv ftie friends around would have soothed him with the hope of continuing: bait faOjt:, 'gred their kind encouragements only fdPffifng He did not fear to die.

You have been brave, and as report says, until now, even virtuous. Speak boldly! in the face of - Heaven and as a soldier belonging to an army devoted to virtue and good order, de clare now your own feelings as to your sen tence.” “ General (said the man) retire «nd let my comrades do their duty; when a soldier forgets his honour, life becomes dis graceful and an immediate punishment is due as an example to the army: Fire.” “ You have spoken nobly,” said the Duke, with a teaT in J bis eye.—“You have saved your life; how can I destroy a repentant sinner, whose words are of greater value to the troops than his death would be l Sol diers, bear this in mind, and may a sense of honour always deter you from infamy.” The troops rent the air with huzzas, the criminal, fell prostrate before the Duke, and when the word “ March ” was given, he arose and returned alive to those ranks tvhich were to have witnessed his execution. Female Warriors.—’n the late war be tween the British and Burmese, the latter called upon the Shans, a race of moun taineers bordering on China, to ftimish 15,- 000 men, headed by their own chiefs. Three young and hand some women, of high rank, accompanied* the Shans, these superstitious people believing that these females could confer on them the power of rendering the halls of the English wholly harmless. In the battle nearProme, the fearless Amazons exhorted their countrymen to fight bravely and cheered them by their own exsftnple hut after a brave resistance, the Shans were defeated and dispersed, and a great number .were slain. One of the fair Amazons re ceived a fatal bullet in the breast, and was carried by the English soldiers to a cottage in the rear, where she soon expired. An other of the Shan ladies was killed by the explosion of a shrapnel, while she was cross ing a river in her flight; she fell from her off by horse into the water, and was bon her attendants., The Shans lost and ladies, many perished from famine and on their return, and but few of the 000 reached their distanthomes ;j» Athens, upon - ffi€"prt8ent;ition of a Stand of.Co- ’ : l6uis to the College Riflemen, on* the Fourth of July, 1S27. Sir,—In accordance with the request of the Young Ladies whose names are therein contained, I have the libnotir, this morning of appearing before: you in the ca pacity of their organ and representative through and by whom they are desirous of presenting you with this stand of colours accompanied by a'tender of their sincerest regard for your patriotism, and wannest wishes for your prosperity. Allow me to remark that there are circumstances anci events in the progress of every man’s life more or less calculated to swell the ordina ry current of feeling, that holds its gentle course within his breast, and gives a mo mentary glow to the soul that slumbers in the bieathless calm of nature. There are times when all the fire of the mind is eli cited, and, warmed by the hope of probable success, or heated by the desire of a glo rious triumph, it spends itself unsparingly in the consummation of its purpose. But methinks there never was a time, there nc ver was arv event, there never was a circum stance better calculated to call into opera tion the latent energies of the soul, or to awake from their slumber those ingenuous emotions that lie so deeply imbedded in the fervid fountain of feeling, than the present Now, on Freedom’s birth-day, when is about to be presented to Freedom’s sons, by Freedom’s daughters, Freedom’s^ ban ner—oh! it is a combination the teffects of which can be felt, but to whose description the powers of language are not adequate Its record is this day emblazoned by the angel hand of patriotism in the; sacred ar chives of Liberty. The Spartan shield, it must be acknow ledged, possessed naturally, intrinsically, and independent of any factitious circum stances, the quality of resistance : but be lieve me, it was not this natural quality that rendered it so precious to the Spartan war rior : oh! no; ’twas the associations con nected with it; for it was presented to him by the hand of maternal affection, accom panied by the patriotic exhortation to “ re turn with or upon it.” Sir, there are asso ciations connected with this flag—associa tions the most endearing, cheering, and ani mating to the young Soldier’s besom: as sociations which when age shall have sil vered o’er those youthful locks, will render the occurrences of this day, as a brilliant gem, Sparkling upon the dark expansive bo som of time. Oh! let those associations never be severed from it. Remember that it is the gift, the voluntary gift of beauty innocence, and patriotism; and the reflec tion cannot fail, in times of darkness and doubt, to shed light and life into your dc spairing soul, and determine you to make i your rallying point in the day of strife, and your 'winding sheet in the hour of death.— Relying upon your devotion to the cause of Freedom, I commit to your hands the un tarnished pledge of ceaseless regard. Take it thfcq, in the fondness of devotion; and oh! seal its salvation with the amulet of virtue; [Here the colours were presented, thy banner!—may it wave "y o’er the good and brave, the battle’s distant wail i the sabbath of our vale, the spear in conflict shakes* shall they wave in triumph over our heads. Yes! the sight of them in the hour of dan ger and difficulty, in connection with the recollection .of this morning, will servo to animate and give redoubled energy to every nerve : it will have a tendency to infuse in to our minds that desperate and determined spirit, that characterised the patriotic little band of the gallant Leonidas. The reception of a stand of colours from any source, would ever be considered as an honour of no ordinary kind; but upon this occasion it is doubly enhanced, emanating as it does from (he Ladie3 of Athens. As, Sir, you remarked, “ it was a custom adhered to by the ancient maids and matrons of Sparta, to present their sons and brothers with a shield, on the eye of battle,” in order to impress more fully upon their minds the honour of Victory, and the disgrace of de feat—history of a later date also ass ires us that to the patriotic exertions of the Ladies, during our.struggle for Liberty, we are in great zqeasaro indebted for our present « condition.
