THE FIELD OF BATTLE.
’Tib night—the combat’s rage is o’er,
The watch fires blaze from hill to hill,
The bugle-note is heard no more,
But all is solemn, hush'd and still !
Save where some faint and mournful tone,
Swells on the midnight breeze a dying moan !
How chang'd the scene, where morn beheld
A gallant host in bright array ;
While martial notes exulting swell’d,
To cheer the brave on danger’s way :
And hope and valour bade the pulse beat high,
Thrill’d the warm heart, and fir'd the kiudling
eye.
How pale the beams by moonlight shed,
A field of blood disclose ;
While on their chill and lowly bed,
The martyr’d brave repose : >
And the dead calm, the desolate suspense,
With nameless horrour chills the shuddering sense.
Thousands are here who sp?ang to arms,
When the shrill clarion peal'd the strain,
By danger’s call, or glory’s charms,
Ne’r to be rous’d again.
E’en now, while shades and stillness reign,
A viewless band are near—the spirits of the slain.
Whence came that deep tremendous sound,
Wheuce broke that flash intensely bright,
Bursting the midnight calm profound,
A cannon peal disturbs the flight I
’Tis past : and deeper is the gloom ;
And all again is silent as the tomb.
Gleaming by fits on shiver’d steel,
A quivering light the moon-beams throw,
A id through the broken clouds reveal
Full many a sight of death and woe ;
Gleaming on paljjd forms around,
Stretch’d on the soldier's bier, the cold and dewy
ground.
Ulidnight and death o‘er all the soil,
A fearful, deep repose have spread •;
Worn with long hours of martial toil,
The living slumber with the dead ;
For here the wounded f-.intly sigh,
Nor dream of those who round them bleed & die.
Best, slumberers, rest; the morn shall wake,
And ye to arms again shall rise ;
Jour sleep the clarion call shall break,
And life and hope shall fire your eyes !
But O ! what thousands strew the battle plain,
Whom day-spring ne’er shall wake, nor war note
rouse again !
MISCELLANY.
DON axis’ MEMOIR.
Among other reflection? made by the Spanish am- ;
hassadour upon the American Kepublick, he i
declares in liis Memoir that “ interests of the j
States are at variance with each other 5” and j
very gravely asserts, that a division of the Un
ion into Northern, Southern and Western Con- \
federacies is an event not only probable, but j
the time not far distant when, from this aiieged !
diversity of interests, it must necessarily occur!
Such, indeed, may eventually be our fate ; out
of this we are well assured, that he who has so j
confidently focetoiil/our national dissolution,;
will hardly live to exult in the lullilmeiit cf his
prediction. In commenting upon the Memoir,
the Richmond Compiler thus sensibly and per
tinently remarks :
The political interests of the Stales are j
not “ at variance with each other.” In the
first place, they have one great interest in
their unton. It not only enables them to
repel foreign enemies with irresistible ef
fect ; but it preserves peace among them
selves. These, and particularly the last,
would be compensated by no benefit,which ■
the most f.ictioas spirit or the most deluded
imagination could picture from me dissolu
tion of the Sint- -, so long ns common
gcr.si pre-orves its sway over the minds of
the people, so long must the wretch be
considered a traitor lo her best interests
who will attempt“ to put us asunder.”
In the second place Don Onis is mistaken
in supposing that the interests of the North
and South are essentially distinct. Tito
Eastern States are our carriers, and will
be hereafter our manufacturers in a very
considerable degree. We cultivate the
earth ; raise products for them which their
climate and soil disqualify them from raising
themselves; and this very variety of pro
ducts and occupations constitutes an identity
of interests, which knits still more strongly
our political union.
A a to the western states “ breaking the
chain which unites them to the federation”
—that is an event which will probably nev
er happen, so long as they consult their re
al interests. The interna! improvement of
the country.& the opening of the communi
cation by means of IheJ-Judson.thePotomack
& James rivers, and by turnpike roads, will
enable us to supply them with many articles
of which they stand in need; and will form
so many links to unite us. Besides, what
a palpable and powerful interest have Lou
isiana, Missouri, and all the Western States,
in the Navy of the Atlantic!: States ! Let a
single English ship of the line block up the
month of ihe Mississippi, and to what straits
does it induce the immense export trade of
the West ? In fact, Ihe interests of this
great continent are closely identified. For
eigners prophesy our dissolution, and will
attempt to promote it. Let us be on our
guard against their wiles and their croak
ing*. America united may defy the world
—dissolved, what is she ? A prey to for
eigners, a prey to herself.
Luminous Appearance of the Ocean .
Extract from a Journal of a gentleman of Salem,
on a voyage to the Mediterranean, to the edi- 1
tor of the Salem Gazette.
The luminous appparance of the ocean
in a dark night, when violently agitated, _
has excited the attention of naturalists, arid
philosophers have not yet satisfactorily ac
counted for it. There is a mystery attend
ing this appearance which renders it inter
! esling, and (bis, together with i'ts singular
sublimity, raises emotions of wonder and
admiration. One evening we were called
up to view this phenomenon. The wave*
were unusually bright, the scene accompa
nied with circumstances which gave it an
interesting effect. The night was dark
and rainy, the sea ran moderately high,the
wind was ahead, ar.d the spray kept con
tinually dashing over the bows. Our ship
seemed to be moving over waves of liquid
fire. All around there was nothing to be
seen but waves of brilliant tire, foaming and
sparkling about us as the ship dashed thro’
them, becoming evanescent as they rece
ded from her sides, and finally losing them
selves Hi the darkness of the surrounding
sea. Two grampusses were gambling
acrossotlr path. Sometimes they would
take their positions one on each side of oar
bowsprit, where they appeared to he har
nessed to the vessel, and seemed draw
her over clouds of light, powdered with
stars. Then they would rise to the sur
face, and spout a brilliant stream of fire,
while the sudden motion of their tails threw
around them a flash of light. They left a
luminous train in their wake, which added
greatly to their apparent length. Upon
looking over the stern, a stream of light
seemed to dart from the rudder of the ship
and to extend itself to a great distance be
hind. Two oilier similar streams proceed
ed from each quarter. Such was the strength
of the light, that the name of the vessel
could he distinctly seen, and tiiS shadow of
bodies was made pretty plain.
This phenomenon of the ocean is most
remarkable alter the repose of a long calm;
The water then seems to thicken with an
infinite number of white and small particles,
which are plainly to he seen in the day
lime, and as soon as it begins to grow dark,
ihe lucidity appears. That the brightness
is occasioned by these particles, we think
there is no doubt—because, the thicker
their appearance in the daylight,the bright
er the ocean is after dark. To make this
conjecture certain, we took a large woollen
cloth and so extended it as to serve as a sort
of strainer, and suspended it over the stern.
In an hour, the vessel moving quickly all
the time, the cloth had retained a quantity
of the luminous matter on its surface, and
in the folds ol the cloth were dense masses
of it. Upon handling it, it seemed to be a
mass of jelly. When thrown upon the
deck, the masses separated, and the small
particles rebounded so as evidently to prove
them to be elastick bodies. If a single par
ticle struck a place it would shine with ex
ceeding brightness for a moment, then be
gin to fade, and if undisturbed, became in a
feiv seconds extinct. Upon striking it with
a brisk motion of the foot, it would again
reJumine, and immediately become evan
escent and disappear, so as not to be made
again luminous. Taking a single particle
into view in a microscope, it appeared to
be a semi-pellucid whitish globule of or
ganized matter; but whether it was animal
or vegetable life, could not be determined.
AN EXTRACT.
Lady Mary Wortley Montague observed,
that in the whole course of her long and
extensive travels, she had found but two
sorts of people, men and women. This sim
ple remark was founded on no small know l
edge of human nature ; but we might add
that even this distinction, narrow as it is, is
now gradually disappearing; for some ot
our beaux are imitating the women in every
thing that is little, and some of our women
are imitating the men in every thing that
is great. Miss Edgeworth and Madame de
Stael, having proved that there is no sex in
style; and Jladame L. Roche, Jaqoeline
at.d the Dutches d’Arigpuleine, have prov
ed that there is also no sex in courage bar
barous or refined, in rags, or in ruffles, at
St. Giles’ or St. James’, covered with the
skins of quadrupeds, - or the cosily en'rail
of an insect, ice are in essentials the same
We pursue the same goods, we fly the
samee.vils; we loath and love, and hope
and fear, from causes that differ little in
themselves, but only in their circumstances
and modifications. Hence it happens that
the irony of Lucian, the discriminations of
Theophrastus, the strength of Juvenal,
and the wit of Horace, are felt and relished
alike by those who have inhaled the clear
air of the Parthenon, the skies of Italy or
tbe fogs of London; and have been alike
admired on the banks of the Melissus, the
Tiber or the Thames. A Scotch Highlander
was taken prisoner by a tribe of Indians,
his life was about to be sacrificed, when
‘7
the Chief adopted him as his son. They
carried him into the interiour; he learned
their language, assumed their habits, and
became skilful in the use of their arm-.
After a season, the same tribe Lpgan their
route to join the French army, sit that time
opposed to the English. It was necessary
to pass near to the English lines during the
night. V’ery early in the morning, and it
was spring, the old chief, roused the young
Highlander from his repose; he took him to
an eminence, and pointed out to him the
tents of his countrymen. The old man ap
peared to be dreadfully agitated, and there
was a keen r-4s-tlessness in his eye. After
a pause, I lost, said he, my only son in the
battle with your nation ; are you the only
son of your father? and do you think that
your father is yet alive ? The young man
replied, I am the only son of my father, and
1 hope that my father is yet alive. They
stend close to a beautiful magnolia in full
blossom. The prospect was grand and en
chanting and all its charm* were crowned
by the sun which had fully emerged from
the horizon. The old chief looking stead
, fastly at his companion, exclaimed —let
thy heart rejoice at the scene! To me it is
_&s the desert! but you are free ; return to
your countrymen, revisit your father, that
he may again rejoice when he sees the sun
rise in the morning, and the trees blossom
| in the SpriDg.
A ROYAL LEVEE.
Extract from Jonathan Kentucky's Journal,
Published in the London New Monthly
Magazine J'or Angust.
At last I have seen the humours of a le
vee which is certainly worth seeing tor
| once, presenting so remarkable a contrast
to the plain simplicity of our own chief ma
! gist rate, who stand* forth one as a man
: among men; u who walks lortb without at
tendants, lives without state, greets his fel
low citizens with open hand as iiis Compan
ions and equals; seeks his relaxation from
1 the labours of the cabinet at the domestick
hearth; snatches a inomeut from the hurry
i of public! affairs, to superintend his farm,
; and defrays all the expenses of his high of-
I (ice with a stipend of £6OOO a year!’
! How different is the scene at Carlton Pal
ace, with all its pomp and parade of milita
ry attendance, and all the glare and Irippe
ry of its court costume. 1 went under the
protection of our worthy minister, and it
was about two o'clock when wc found our
selves in the large anti-room which was
soon thronged with bishops and judges,
! generals and admirals, doctors and surgeons,
| lawyers and authors—all anxious to bask
for u moment in the rays of royalty, and
catch a passing smile of condescension
from the great man. The mob at u levee
is much like other mobs, though perhaps
less good humoured and entertaining. Af
ter waitin’; about an hour on the tiptoe ol
expectation, the folding doors were at
length thrown open, and the mass began to
move. Inch by inch we fought our way,
tiil at last I got near enough to command a
view’ of the king, lie stood, as it were in
a doorway, with the whole of his cabinet
ministers drawn up in regular array oppo
site to bim; and the intervening Barrow
lane, through which two persons could
scarcely have passed abreast, just sufficed
lo let the crowd oft". I can compare the
scene with nothing so well as to the getting
into the pit of the theatre, on a full night.
The lord in wailing receives your card, and
the king your bow—if one may venture
upon so homely a comparison—answered
to ihe money takers; the cry of “get your
card ready,” would have hepn as appropri
ate on one occasion, as “get your money
ready,” onthe_other; and the press from
behind scarcely allowed time for a mo
ment’s pause in the royal presence. The
business of presentation was begun, and
concluded in a moment; the king srniied
graciously, saying, “ How d’ye do, Mr.
Kentucky, I am very glad to see you here,”
and I found myself in the next room before
I was well aware the ceremony was com
menced. It was then that a friend who
had witnessed the scene, congratulated me
upon the gracious reception 1 hat} experi
enced—a fact of which, but for his informa
tion, 1 might have remained in ignorance.
The next difficulty was how to get a ay ;
for, having no carriage, and having beer,
separated from my ministerial mentor, I
scarcely knew what to do. At last fiercely
cocking u.y hat on one side like my namesake
Jonathan of wild memory in his boatsceivfl,
I sallied boldly out at the great gate, and
making my way through the crowd, Who
contented themselves with a few good hu
moured jokes at the awkwardness with
which I wore mv court habiliaments—l
gained the stand of coaches in Cockspur
street, into one of w hich 1 vanished from
their gaze.
The next day Mr. R asked me bow
I was satisfied with my reception, to which
1 made a suitable reply of acknoivledgment.
“ Why yes, indeed,'’ said he, “ l think you
have reason to be satisfied, for 1 do not think
his majesty said so much to any one else.”
I find there is a graduated scale of great ex
actness by which these things are measured
with the most minute accuracy. “How
d’ye do,” is a gracious reception; but,
“ How d’you do, I am very glad to see you
here,” is the very acme of condescension
and affability.
ART OF RISING.
The Duke of Grammont was the most
adroit and witty courtier of his day. He
entered one day the closet of Cardinal Ma
zarin without being announced. His emi
nence was amusing himself by jumping
close-legged agaiust Ihe wall. To surprize
a Prime Minister in so boyish an occupation i
was dangerous; a less skilful courtier might j
have stammered excuses and retired. The
Duke entered briskly, and cried, “ I’ll bet
you one hundred crowns that I jump higher
than your eminence and the duke and
cardinal began to jump for their lives.—
Grammont took care to jump a few inches
lower than the cardinal, and was six months
afterwards Marshal of France !
THE PRESS.
The radical hostility of tyrants to the circula
tion of thought, is strongly depicted in the reply
of Sir Win. Berkeley, governour of Virginia, to
certain questions relating to that colony, pro
pounded from abroad in 1070:
“ I thank God there are no Free Schools nor
Printing , and I hope we shall not have these hun
dred years: for learning has brought disobedience
and heresy and sects into the world, and Print
ing has divulged them and libels against the best
government. God keep us from both !”
What an admirable text for the Holy Alliance !
What a consoling reflection for the editor of a free
paper lo know, that monarch?, at the head of
mighty armies, dread the combination and array
of the simple letters of the alphabet, subsisting on
bloodless ink, and quartered on virgin paper !
There is something military in the art of print
ing. The line , the column and the square —do
they not belong alike to the nomenclature of
printing and of war ? On the other hand, how did
the army of France and the navy of England
prosper until they resorted to the Press ?

BALLOONS.
The question is often asked, what is the use of
Balloons ? We answer, the advantages of an art
so recently discovered as Aerostation, are not
sufficiently ascertained, but we may confidently
expect many benefits from it. At any rate it is
unphilosophical to discourage future trials and
improvements, because the uses of this art do not
immediately appear. With a moderate wind a
balloon wffl (ravel 50 miles an hour, and even 30
without the wind being lelt by the aeronaut. A
small balloon might be employed to carry a rope
from a vessel blown on shore by means of which
the crew might eooapc. It might be employed to
convey persons from places invested amt bescigrd.
They serve for important signals at great distan
ces, and to explore from great heights, coasts, ur
uijcs and fleets. Gen. Jourdon, by means of the
information obtained by balloons, in 1794, gained
the memorable victory of Fleurua. The balloon
employed on that occasion, called the Eutrepre
liaut, was under the direction of M. Coutel, the
captain of aeronauts of Meudon. Etienne, adju
tant general of the French army, ascended twice
the same day in this balloon, two hundred and
twenty fathoms, and remained each time four
hours in the air, observing the positions and move
ments of the enemy. He conveyed his informa
tion by means of notes fastened to arrows, YVheu
this enterprise was discovered by ttie enemy,they
opened a lire against the ascending aeronauts, bill
they were soon out of the reach of their fire. Du
ring Ihe same campaign, Balloons, the heaviest of
which weighed 16illbs. were employed lor other
armies,and also an tcrostatick telegraph.

TOMB OF NAPOLEON.
Extract of a letter from St. Helena.
Soou after Bonaparte went to Longwood to re
side, he complained of the badness of the water.
At that time uiadume Bertrand lived at Ilutt’s
Gate about one mile from Longwood, at the.top
of a very pretty valley knowu here by the name
of Seiupler vale. Bonaparte frequently visited
Madame Bertrand, and observed how very supe
riour the wa.er*diank there was to that which he
got at Lou r wood. On being informed that it
was procured from a spring down in the vale, he
expressed a wish to walk and see the well. He
vveut there with Madame Bertrand, and after ex
amining the water, he noticed a willow tree
growing about ten rods from the well. Viewing
it in silence he said, “ Should 1 die on this island
1 should wish to be buried under that tree ; and I
will drink no water but from this spring.” When
he returned home,he furnished one of his servants,
a C’hiiiesi!, with two silver buttles, holding about
a gallon each, and sent him immediately to the
spring for water, the same Chinese has hud no
other employment than fetching water in these
bottles tw ice a day lor the last five years.
The lami where Ihe corpse of this extraordina
ry man is deposited, belongs to Mr. Tobert, a
very respectable shopkeeper in Jamestown. It
is now called Napoleon's Vale, and is very much
frequented by the inhabitants. The grave was
liued with stone, and covered with a plain slab of
the same material.
CALLAVA vs. GOV. JACKSON.
From the Georgian.
A long statement by Col. Callava, is published
in the Louisiana Advertiser of the 10th of Sept,
relative to the disagreement between Gov. Jack
: son and himself, it does not vary materially from
the statement contained in the Floridian, as to
facts, but of course they receive a different col
ouring. Ihe sum of the whole is, that ihe pa
j per? were repeatedly refused to be delivered op
! until force was used. He then resigned his
” sword and cane,” and accompanied the officers
!to the Governour’s. Ihe UOll appears to have
1 been in a terrible state of trepidation, and seri
-1 ously observes that he was “ resigned to be mur
dered,” but we suppose thought that it was best
to choose the least of two evils, and appear be
fore the Governour. He further states, that
whilst writing an answer to a question of the Gov
trnour, the paper was “ wrested from him, and
with lit* ol fury which are never found but among
those whose minds are alienated, or who are in
great despair —the Governour striking his hand
- upon Hit- 1 able, using gestures full of violence,and
ordering him to deliver up the papers.”
He slill refused, and in the end was or- -
dered to prison, and the papers taken possession
of; after which he was discharged. The colonel
appears to have laboured under rather a confused
idea ol the distinction between his official and
private character—the former of which, at the
time of the transaction, bad been merged in the
latter. lie, however, chose to consider himself
as the representative of his royal master, and
throughout acted under this impression. Judge
■ Fromeutiii, previous to his discharge, issued a
; writ of habeas corpus , 111 favour of Callava, which
! was resisted by Gov. Jacksou, which forms a
ground of complaint by the former ; but the
i Judge has siuce declared that he had no power to
j issue the writ. Col. Callava has since visited
j Washington fo r the purpose of obtaining satisfac
| tion for the insult offered him ; with what success
it is not difficult to conjecture. He is now with
Gen. Vives on liis way lo Spain.
