der»on, and is now in our hospital here
and doing well. We had two killed and
six wounded. The Col’s, son James and
J. M. Grady were killed. E. C rowle, John
Hall and R. Bosw ell shot in the arms*
George Glee sou, E. Anderson and H. Ball,
shot in the thighs. Our horses are nearly
all killed up, and many of Wellborn's oft
company will not receive ennngh pay to
make up for the loss they will sustain in
their horses; besides having sustained hea
vy losses in their clothing, hut whether in
fight, or what was the worse in scouring
through mud and brush, or in bogging
down while riding or in making force mar
ches, they have forborn to complain.—
They are as brave men as ever fought and
is the pride of our army. The Colonel has
had very little help, and his old company’s
time is up and he has yet a number of In«
diana to conquer and there will be new
troops Io raise. A woman and child gave
up on Monday, and the Col. followed the
remnant qf Indians about 30 miles helow,
where w« fought the Friday fight; fell in
with a bunch of about 40, killed 12 and
took nine women and children. In this
fight the Col. ordered a charge and he
fought hand to hand with a warrior, thrust
ing biin with hs* sword which not entering,
knocked him with his fist and fell to work
on him. uhrn one of his men dispatched
him with a knife. How he has escaped be
ing killed, providence best can tell. He
had two men slightly wounded in this scrape.
He is yet pursuing them, but there cannot
be many left. lam sorry to say Captain
Whitman of Montgomery, with his finely
dressed troops are doing nothing, and re
fused to obey orders when ordered by the
Colonel to come out into the campaign.—
Thus it is—some are at home, while the
rest are fighting. -
THE M ECHAN ICS REVERSE.
Reverse of fortune befall all men, and a
sudden one befel Joseplfc Lewis. He had
entered on a lucrative handicraft business
with more capital than often conies to the
hand of a cabinet-maker, such as he was;
and like a true born American, who is ne
ver willing to let and body get above him,
as long as he is able to rise, he showed out
in a style of equipage, dress and living,
which was almost aristocratical. His chaise
and horse, his marble mantel, his grey
hound, his Joe Manton, his pointer, Ids
dinner-service—all savoured of Bond street
and St. Mark’s Place. Was he happy?
He ought to have been so. A quiet, beau
tiful wife, a child, such as Titania might
have stolen, a fidl ware-house and a full
pocket, arejust the things to make a young
man happy. So flushed was Joseph with
success and hope, that he could not find
vent for his exuberant satisfaction, alone,
or on cold water; he invited frequent gronp
to late dinners; he opened bottles of Hock
and Sautern ; he imported his own Parme
san.
I met Joseph in Broadway. Hehaicome
to town to make preparations for a ball.
Was he happy ? Ah—you must answei
that yourself. He was abundantly fin•
too fine for a gentleman, he was as smart as
a barber on Sunday evening, or a wedding
journeyman. His ha* was a St. John, his
mosaic pin was Baldwin’s richest Tuscany.
bi« ensemble was that of high ton—save
that it all was too full of certain conscious
ness. And then be did so blush when a
brother chip passed us—and liisev**s spark
led with the glimmer, not of serene joy, but
•f unaccustomed wine.
That day fortnight Joseph Lewis became
insolvent.—What a reverse. But stay —was
he ruined ? By no means. Let me bring
forward another personage, thus far a mute
in the scene. His wife threw her arms more
passionately around his neck, on that even
ing, than ever before. Was Joseph now
unhappy? His great house and useless
•t- bles were soon cleared. Finding him
self a poor man, he began life at a new cor-:
n ** r - Jfe began did I sa»- ? no the began ;
Mury began, not lo assume the hus
band's place, but to fill her own. She sang
a sweeter song after his frugal evening
meal, than had ever echoed over his sump
tuous dinner from New York parasites, or
stage-struck clerks. Is he unhappy ? Let
us sec: lie has neither carriage, nor wines,
but he has his bands full of work, and his
two yellow-haired girls sit on his knee in
the hour which he used to spend at the
Theatre. He has no cards, and gives no
concerts, but he rests more sweetly at night,
and lie and Mary make good music on the
guitar and flute, accompanying very passa
ble voices. Last week I met him atrain.
He was carrying home a picture which he
had been framing, One blush—and then,
a hearty shake of my hand, and “O Charles!
come and see us—we are rich enough to
give you a good cup of tea—and my wife
and children will be 100 much rejoiced to
meet you.”

few philosophical instrunieuts; living with
