POETRY. —■ . - , —, - - Tiie following article wa handed us by a res pected friend, who did not recollect by whom it waa written. It may, perhaps, have heretofore been published, though we do not remember to have ever seen it in. print. It will, w# presume, be perused with pleasure at this period, when an interesting and delightful exercise is about to be resumed. Geo. A4*. THE CONCERT OF PRATER. “ Wh* it (hit that comefh out of the totUemett likt pillars ts smoke, perfumed icilh myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant .” Say, what are those columns of smoke which arise, Prom-the wilderness upward they move, Majestick and grand, how they darkeu the skies, Which unfold to receive them above. These pillars of smoke, thus ascending above, Shedding fragrant perfhme through the air, Are the offerings of Faith and the incense of Love From the Church, at her Concert for Prayer. From the four winds of heaven these odours as cend, Though between them the wide waters roll— lb the vials of heaven, all happily blend, ’ And are answered with peaee to the soul. But numbers, alas! who profess to believe, Refuse by their presence to share In the blessings and comforts that Christians re ceive At the grand monthly Concert for Frayer. MISCELLNAY. From the Boston Centinel. 1 REVOLUTIONARY RECORD. Mr. Russell —On reading in your last Wednesday’* Centinel an extract from Mr. Knapp's biography of Warren, [republished in the Missionary of Oct. I.] it reminded me of some circumstances not mentioned by him, which occurred at the “ Old South, on the sth of Marcb?l77s, which was the anniversary of the massacre of several in habitants of the town of Boston by the Bri tish troops in 7770. Mr. Hancock had delivered an oration the preceding year on the same occasion, in the course of which he made the follow ing observations : “ Standing armies are sometimes (I would by no means say generally, much less uni versally) composed of persons who have rendered themselves unfit to live in civil society; who have no other motives of conduct than those which a desire of the present gratification of their passions sug gest ; who have no properly in any coun try ; men who have lost or given up their own liberties, and envy those who en joy liberty ; who are equally indifferent to the glory of a George or a Louis ; who, for the addition of one penny a day to their wa ges, would desert f com the Christian cross,and fight under the crescent of the Turkish Sultan, j From such men as these, what has not a state I to fear ? With snch as these usurping Ccesar passed the Rubicon ; with such as these he humbled mighty Rome, and forced the mis tress of the world to own a master in a traitor. These are the men whom sceptred Rob bers now employ to frustrate (he designs of God, and render vain the bounties which hi* gracious hand pours indiscriminately upon his creatures. By these the misera ble slaves in Turkey. Persia and many oth er extensive countries, are rendered truly wretched, though their air is salubrious, and iheir soil luxuriously fertile. By these, France and Spain, though blessed by nature with all that administers to the convenience of life, have been reduced to that contemp tible state in which they now appear; and, by these Britain ——!!! but if I was pos sessed of the gift of prophecy, I dart not , ex cept by Divine command, unfold the leaves on which the dest ny of that once powerful king dom is inscribed .” At ihat time there were no British troop* in Boston; four regiments, however,short ly afterwards arrived, the officers of which expressed the most decided detestation of the above inserted quotation, and n3 Mr. Knapp says, u threatened vengeance on any orator, who should dare to repeat such sentiments.” When Warren delivered hi? oration th* following year, in defiance of those threat*, the British army had been re-enforced to nearly ten thousand men, aud more than an hundred yf the officers atten ded, secretly armed, for the put pose of tak ing revenge, on the utterance of any senti ment, which should he obnoxious to thefp. The writer of this article was standing in the broad aisle, near the upper end, and saw Captain Chapman, of (be Royal Welsh Fusileers, on the lowest step of the pulpit stairs, playing with three pistol bullets, in his right hand, and occasionally casting looks of contempt on the orator, but more partic ularly on William Cooper, Esq. the town clerk, who was seated near him-directly under the pulpit. Mr. Cooper-maintained a firm and undaunted countenance, and re- turned his lookwwvith disdain. I never look baCk upon that scene without horroiir in the contemplation of the dauger we were then in, of a much more horrid massacre than the one we were then commemora ting. A trifle lighter than air would base deluged that church-in blood. When I re flect on the irritated state of the minds of both parties, it has always been a wonder to me that the war did mot commence on that The 47fh regimenl (it was supposed by de sign) parsed the church at this time, the drums beating with redoubled force. The regiment was commanded by the infamous Colonel Nesbit, who, a few days after, caus ed innocent man to be tarred and fealh- and carted through the principal Street in open day, and beaded the party HIMSELF!!! followed by some grenadier* and the whole band of the regiment, in de fiance of that law which he was ostensibly •eDt to protect. After the orator had made some remarks Oh the BMSiacre of the 6th Match, ITW, be said— “ And could it have been conceived that we again should have seen a British army in our land, sent to enforce obedience to acts of parliament destructive of our liber ty ? Bat the royal ear, far distant from this western world, has been assaulted by tbe tongue of slander ; and villains, traitorous alike to king and country, have prevailed upon a gracious prince to clothe his coun tenance with wrath, and to erect the hostile banner against a people ever affectionate and loyal to him and his illustrious prede cessors of the house of Hanover. Our streets are again filled with armed men; our harbour is crowded with ships of war; but these cannot intimidate us; our liberty must be preserved; it is far dearer than life, we hold it even dear as our allegiance; we must defend it against the attacks of friends as well as enemies; we cannot suf fer even Britons to ravish it from us.” While this sentence was repealing, Cap tain Chapman exclaimed— Fie! Fie! It was at first supposed that fire was cried, which occasioned a momentary disturbance —when William Cooper rose from hi* chair, and with a voice truly Steutorian, vociferated that “there waa fire, but the fire of envy, burning in the hearts of our enemies , which he hoped soon to see extinguished ;” looking with indignation on Chapman, Hawkeshaw and other officers who were, near him. I could enlarge on this subject, Mr. Rus sel, but as I have already extended my re marks beyond my original intentions, and I fey encroached or your patience, I will subscribe myself an GBD BOSTONIAN. INTERESTING ANECDOTE Os the celebrated Captain Smith, -the Father of Virginia, taken from a small history of the U. States by Griinsiiaw. A character so distinguished in the annals ofVirgioia, so marked by nature, with those bold traits Os spirit and genius, arrests tbe historian’s pen, and claims a more than or dinary notice, a degree of attention in some measure apportioned to the transactions with which he is associated. Capt. John Smith, the father ofVirginta, was born of an ancient family, in 1579, at Willoughby, in Lincolnshire, England, and educated in the schools of Alfred and Louth. His parents, who died when -he was only in his 13th year, left him a small estate ; which, however, through his #wn want of economy,and the inattention of his guardians soon became inadequate to his support. He then accompanied a son of the famous lord Willoughby into France ; and, after re maining there a short time, returned to his } relations, who gave hitn a few shillings, out ; of his own estate, as a sort of acquittance | from any further demands. He next served for 9ome years in the j Low Countries against the Spaniards. — j Thence passing over to Scotland, he re mained there a short time amongst his friends, hut weary of the successive intem perance of company, in which he had nev er felt delight, he retired vith a faithful servant into the midst of an extensive for est ; and on the margin of a little brook, entwined an arbour of boughs, in which he lay, with no other bed than leaves, no oth er covering except his ordinary dress. His i study consisted of Machiaval's Art of War, 1 and Marcus Aurelius ; his exercise, a good j horse, with his Isnce and ring ; his food; the deer, the rambling inhabitant of the wood. Satiated at length, by retirement, he allowed himself again to intermingle in society, was agaiu disgusted, and entered into the wars against the Spaniard*; but abhorring a contest in which one Christian was employed in the slaughter of another, he determined to use his sword iq a cause more congenial with his feelings. Accordingly, after various misfortunes and extraoWinary roman'ick adventures, he joined the Hungarian army, at that time fighting, under the banners of Austria, against the Turks. By his ingenious strat agems, he contributed highly to his party’s success; and when encamped before the walls of Regall, in Transylvania, he had an opportunity of distinguishing himself in a singular adventure. So much time had been spent by the Christians in erecting batteries, that the Turks were apprehen sive lest their enemy would depart without making an assault upon the towD, and thereby prevent them gaining honour in the repulse ; an honour the more desira ble, as mauy ladies of exalted rank were anxious observers of the seige, and longed, after so much delay, to see some “ court like pastime.” in that chivalrous age, whenever a sol dier fought under the. patronage of a fa vourite mistress, to request was to ensure performance. A Turkish noble immedi ately challenged any captain of the besieg ing army to single combat, “ for each oth er’s head.” The Champion was appoint ed by lot, and fate selected the intrepid Smith. The combat soon commenced, and soon the Turk paid the forfeit of hisiiead ; the ladies were desirous of another trial, and again the undaunted Smith was re- j warded with a head ; tbe request was re-; ppated, and the -issue was the same. Short ly afterwards, he aided in taking the place hy storm ; and for his former exploits,which nothing but the manners of tbe age can pal i liate, his name was enrolled in the lieral dick records of Transylvania, with the ap ■ propriate armorial bearing of the three : Turk’s heads. PETRIFACTION. It is a question of considerable impor tance among naturalists, to ascertain the i time employed by nature in petrifying bod- 1 its of an ordinary size. Leopold I. Empe rour of Germany, was desirous that some steps should be taken for deciding this ques tion. The Chevalier de Baillu, director of his cabinet of natural history and some oth er naturalists conceived the idea of making researches tfhich might brow iome light | on the subject. All nioirn geographer* and historians agree in string that certain pillars seen in Danube, in iervia, near Bel grade, are the remains of he bridge which Trajan constructed overtfst river. It was presumed that these pilhrs, having beep preserved for so many Hgi, must be petri fied, and that they would furnish some in formation respecting the tune which nature employs in changing wood into 9toue. Tbe Emperour, wishing to satisfy his curiosity, ordered his Ambassador at the court of Constantinople, to ask permission to take up from the Danube one of the pillars of Trajan’s bridge. It was granted, and one of the pillars was accordingly taken up, from which it appeared that tbe petrifac tion had advanced nu farther than three quarters of an nich in the space of 1500 years. When the foundations of the cityofQue beck, in Canada, were dug up, a petrified savage was found among the last beds to which the workmen proceeded. Although it was impossible to form any judgment of the time at which this man had been buried under the ruins, yet his quiver and arrows were in good preservation. In digging a lead mine in Derbyshire, in 1744, a human skeleton was found among stag’s horns. It is impossible to sy how many ages this carcass had lain there. In 1695, the entire -keleton of an elephant was dug up id Thuringia, in Germany ; and some time be fore, the petrified skeleton of a crocodile was found in the mihes of that country. About tfhe beginning: of tbe last century, the Curate of Slaega p, in the Swedish province of Schonen. and several of bis pa rishioners, digging turf in a drained marshy soil, found some feet below the surface of the ground, an entire cart with the skele tons of the horses and carter. It is pre sumed that there had once been a lake or pond on that spot, and that *he carter had perished in attempting to cross over upon the ice. By the falling down of a piece of the cliff, on Walton shore near Harwich, the skele ton of an enormous animal was discovered, measuring nearly thirty feet in length. Some of the bones were nearly as large as a man’s body, and six or seven feet long; the cavities which contained the marrow, were large enough to admit tbe introduc tion of a man’* arm; the-hones on being handled, broke to piece*. One of the mo lar teeth was carried to Colchester, by Mr. VV. Jackson, who took it from the spot, in whose possession it now is; it weighs seven pounds, is of a square form, and grinding surface ; it is studded with several zigzag rows of lamin®, •hich seems t* denote that it belonged to a carniverous animal, j There were more (eeth which were unfor-! tunately broken, one of which weighed twelve pounds. It is probable that the tusks will be found, by searching further i into the cliff, or amongst the earth which has fallen down. Tbe above skeleton is supposed to belong to an animal of the same species as that called the Mammoth; the ; remains of which have bees found in North t America, Great Tarttry, &c. A labourer in a stoie quarry in the vil- : lage of Pautin, near Paris, having detach- | ed a large block of stone, found in the mid dle, a skeleton of a nm, petrified. Each ! part of the stone contained a perfect half of’ the animal; the parti were very distinct.’ The block was dug out of natural rock, at j the depth of 30 feet from the summit of the quarry. A petrifaction so curious, was immediately deposited in the Museum of Natural History. [London paper. Simplicity and Integrity of the Swiss Mom •taineers. A peasant named Frantz, came one eve ning to look for Gasper, who was mowing a meadow, and said, “my friend, this is hay harvest. Thou knowest that we have a dispute about this meadow; w know not to whom It properly belongs. To decide the question, I have collected tbe judges at Schwitz—come, then, tomorrow with me, before them.” “ Thou seest, Frantz, that 1 have mowed the meadow—i cannot be absent.” “ And I cannot send away the judges, who have fixed on the day—in deed, we should have known to whom it belonged before it was mown.” They had some little controversy on the subject, and at last, Gaspersaid, “ 1 will tell thee what thoushaltdo: go tomorrow to Schwitz: give thejudgesmy reasons and thine—and I shall save the trouble of going myself.” On this agreement Frantz went to plead forand against himself, and drew out the reasons on both sides as well as he could. When the judges had decided, he went to Gasper—“ the meadow is thine—the sen tence is in thy favour.” People the earth with such men, and happiness will dwell there. BANEFI'L SPIRIT OF WAR. 44 The writtrs of the day have been loud in their invectives against Napoleon for the selfishness and utter disregard of life which he manifested in common with all lovers of war. Without seeking to extenuate his faults or eulogize his merits, we may ob serve, that h perhaps endeavoured to ele vate himself above the rest of mankind by stifling all feelings which he. partook in common with them. He affected to be a man apart from bis fellow creatures, turn ing the passioni of men to the completion of his own purposes, but himself beyond their control. Accordingly we do not hear that he wept at the bloody Borodino, or that he sympathised with the sufferers of Moscow. He looked upon these events with the cold eye of apolitical calculator, to whom the loss of an army was as an er rour in his arithmetical process. It would have been in better ttfte, no doubt, to have deplored the extinction of 300,000 fellow beings in the horrible campaign in Russia, than to have exclaimed, while rubbiog his ’ hands over the fire os hi* way homewards, “this id pleasanter than Moscow.” But Xerxes wept when viewing his immense army ; he reflected that not one of such a multitude would survive a hundred years. And yet we do not find that Xerxes desisted from his idle attempts to enslave Greece. In fact the kindlier feelings of humanity seem incompatible with such a calling- I Where blood is to be poured out as water, and human life is as grass before the sickle, the edge of sensibility must be blunted,and j the best feelings of our nature uptorn.” General Intelligence. AFFAIR AT PENSACOLA. The following may be considered as the official account of the transaction between Gov. Jack son and Col. Calluva. Pensacola, Aug. 22, 1821. _ Sir— Pursuant to your official order of this date, we proceeded to tke house of Col. Cullava, who was absent, but on again returning to his hause shortly after, we found him accompanied by a number of Spanish officers, clothed with their aide arms, and Mr. John Innerarity on the porch. The demand was formally made of the documents enumerated in your order, and per emptorily refused ; when he was informed that his refusal would be considered as setting at defiance the authority exercised by you as Governour of the Floridas in the execution of the laws: and they were again demanded and the consequences of refusal on his part enumerated, but in which he still persisted ; and we were about taking our leave to prepare for the final execution of your order when Col. Callava desired that if we would furnish him with a copy of the memorandum set ting forth the documents required, he would de livortbem to us, to which we assented. The Al caite, 11. M. Bruckenridge, accordingly waited on him -with a copy of the memorandum herewith accompanied, and informed him that he would call in two hours for the reception of the docu ments as promised. YV-e proceeded at the appointed time and found the gate and front part of the house closed -! the former we opened by removing a bar, and on reaching the latter, a considerable stir seemed to be making in tbe house ; we knocked several times without re ceiving any answer, when admittance was de manded in the name of tbe Governour, in three instances still without reply. The-guard was then ordered to advance and form in front of the hoiue, and part detached to the rear, when it was discovered that the back door was open, and several Spanish officers, with Mr. lunararity, one of your cabildo, were on the porch. We inquired for C*l. Callava, to which we were answered they did not kuow where he was—lights were procured, and the rooms searched, when Col. Callava was found in his bed divested of his coat. Demand was then made of the documents, agree ably to his promise, and to our astonishment they were still refused, and several attempts made on his part to show that he was not amenable to the laws. To which he was answered that the Gov ernour was in the execution of the laws bound to demand the papers, as they appertained to the rights and property of individuals resident in Pen sacola, and that formal complaint had been made I that they were improperly withheld, and that the i Governour knew no distinction between Col. I CalJavn and any other man under his government. We then proposed that col. Callava would deliv er the papers, and he should have our receipt for them, which was also refused : we then again de manded them, reiterating our sentiments that his refusal would be viewed as an open act of mutiny to the civil authority exercised in the Floridas, and that he must expect the consequences. He persisted to refuse, and the officer ol the guard was ordered to take him and Fullarat, his steward, into custody, and bring them before your Excel lency, which is now done- We would add, in conclusion, that coL Callava repeatedly asserted that he would not be taken out ofhis house alive, but he seemed to act without muoh difficulty when tbe guard was ordered to prime and load. A corporal and three men were detached to re main and guard the house of col. Callava, and to prevent the removal of the boxes which had con tained the documents, and which Mr. Bracken ridge reoognized in bis bedroom. From tbe rela tion in which Mr. Innerarity 9tands in this busi ness, together with the interest taken on tbe side of cel. Callava, and at the same time exercising the functions of one of the cabildo of this city, we deem it an indispensable duty to recommend that your excellency will fill his place in the coun cil with a character who will manifest a proper respect for the diguity of the laws, and you their executive. We have the honour to be, &c. ROBERT BUTLER, Col. U. S. Army. J.C. BRONAUGII. TANARUS His Ex. Gov. Jackson. A true copy of the original on file in tny office, Geo, Walton, Sec’y. W. F.
