“SI JE TE PERDS, JE SUIS PERDU.”
Theft linei were suggested by an impression on h
teal, representing a boat at aea, and a man at
the helm, looking up at a atar, with the motto,
“St je It perdt, je tuis perdu.” [lf I loae thee,
I'm lott.]
Shine on, thou bright beacon,
Unclouded and free,
From thy high place of calmneae,
O’er life'* troubled tea ;
Its morning of promise,
Its smooth seat are gone,
And the billows rare wildly—
Then, bright one, shine on.
The wings of the tempest
May ruth o’er thy ray,
But tranquil thou smilest,
Undimm'd by its away;
High, high o’er the worlds
Where storms are unknown,
Thou dwellest, all beauteous,
All glorious alone.
s
- the deep womb of darkness
The lightning-flash leaps,
O’er the bark of my fortune, ,
Each mad billow sweeps ;
From the port of her safety
By warring winds driven, .
And no light o’er her course
But yon lone one of heaven.
Yet fear not, thou frail one,
The hour may be near,
When our own suuny headlands
Far off shall appear ;
When the voice of the storm
Shall be silent and past,
In some island of heaven
We may anchor at last.
But, bark of Eternity,
Where art thou now ?
The tempest wave shriek!
O’er each plunge of thy prow,
On the world's d/vary ocean
Thus shattered and tost—
Then lone one, shine on, _
lf 1 lose thee, I’m lost.

Elliott, of this village. —Goshen (JV. Y.) Pal.
And is that Cherub’s infant bloom
Blasted by fate’s resistless doom?
Is that bright eye now closed in death*
Suspended that ambrosial breath?
Will that fair cheek no more disclose,
The brightest blush of morning rose?
Has cruel death that flower absorbed,
Uy kindred loved, by friends adored?
Yes! save the better part, the sonl,
Death has monopolized the whole!
Alas, how soon the thread is snap’d,
And life to its foundation sapp'd!
Scarce did bis youthful charms expand
Beneath affection’s fostering hand,
When death like a relentless shower
Crush’d in its bud, the opening flower:
The storm which burst with wild alarms,
Bore William to his guardian's arms.
Bright angels view’d his opening worth, (
And smiling, beckon’d him from earth ;
For O! ’twa Heaven's high decree,
He should from earth transplanted be
To Heaven ; a more congenial clime
For youth and innocence sublime.
Thrice favonr’d Boy ! thy exit blest,
Should cause each sigh to be represt!
Bind with new life each wounded heart,
Which sorrow rent with thee to part!
E’en fond affection dry the tear,
And view resign’d thine early bier!

MISCELLANY.
BAT TLE OF BENN INuTON.
From Dr. Thacker’s Journal , recently pub
lished.
It was a providential circumstance that
Geo. Stark was at or near Bennington, with
about eigkt hundred New England militia,
part of whom being from the New Hainp
shire Grants, are called Green Mountain
Boys. Ife advanced towards the enemy
to reconnoitre their position, and some skir
mishing ensued, tn which thirty of them,
with two Indian chiefs, were killed and
wounded, with little loss on our side. Col.
Bium, alarmed at his situation, despatched
a messenger to Burgoyne fora re-enforce
ment. The 15th being a very rainy day,
there was only some skirmishing in small
parlies. On the 16th, Gen. Stark, assisted
by Col. Warner, matured his arrangements
for battle ; he divided his troop 9 into three
divisions, and ordered Col. Nichols, with
250 men to gain the rear of the left w : , 0 g u s
the enemy, and Col. Hendrick
their light wing, with 300 rn. en , while lie
attacked their front. The I&dians, alarm
ed at the appearance of being surrounded,
endeavoured to lhak.% their escape in a sin*
gle file between, the two parties, with their
norrid J'e4is and the jingling of cow bells.—
The flanking parties approaching each oth
er in their rear, and Gen. Stark making a
bold and furious onset in front, a general &
close conflict ensued, and continued with
more or less severity for about two hours.
Though Col. Baum had nearly twice their
numbers, and was defended by breastworks,
the force opposed to them proved irresist
ible, forcing their breastworks at the muz
z!e ot their guns, and obliging them to
ground their arms and surrender at distre
1 1 on, so that the victory on our part was
complete. We took two pieces of brass
cannon, and a number of prisoners, with
k a (?g3ge, &c. This was no sooner accom
plished, than Col. Breytnan, with one thou
sand German troops arrived with two field
piece*, to reinforce Col. Baum, who had
just been defeated. Gen. Stark’s troops
were now scattered, some attendiog the
wounded, some guarding the prisoners, and
still more to pursuit of plunder ; and sll ex
hausted by extreme hunger and fatigue.—
At this critical moment, Col. Warner’s reg
iment arrived, and other troops being ralli
ed, the whole were ordered to advance.—
A field piece had been taken from Baum in
the forenoon, and Stark ordered it, (o be
dntwa to the scene of action, but his men
having never seen a cannon, knew not bow
to load il, the General dismounted & taught
them himself. An action soon commenced,
and proved warm and desperate, in which
both sides displayed tbe most daring brave
ry, till night approached, when (he enemy
yielded a second time in one day to their
Yankee conquerors. The German troops
being totally routed, availed themselves of
the darkness of the night (o effect their re
treat. The whole number of killed and
wounded and prisoners, was 934, including
157 lories—of this number G 54 are prison
ers. Col Baum received a mortal wound,
of which he soon after died. Besides the
above, one thousand stand of arms, four
brass field pieces, two hundred and fifty
dragoon swords,eight loads ofbaggage, and
twenty horses fell into our hands. The loss
on our side is not more than one hundred in
the whole.
A veuerable old man had five sons in this
battle, and beiDgtold that he had been un
fortunate in one of his sons, replied, What,
has he misbehaved, did he desert his post,
or shrink from the charge ? No, sir, c aid
the informant, worse than that—he is
among the slain—he fell contending might
ily in the cause. Then lam satisfied, re
plied the good old man ; hrcig him in that
1 may behold him, and survey the darling
of ray soul. On which the corpse was
brought in and laid before him. He then
called fora howl of water and a napkin,and
with his own hands washed the gore and ’
dirt from his son’s corse, and wiped his gap
ing wounds with a complacency, as he him
self expressed it, which before he had nev
er felt or experienced.
The story is simple and touching, and
places the American father above tbe Spar
tan mother.
From the Charleston Courier.
TABLE ROCK.
Extract ofa letter from a gentleman travelling
in the upper part of this state , dated
Greenville C. H. lOTii July, 1822.
I have just returned to this place after
witnessing tbe great national festival on the
summit of Table Rock, on the 4th iust
A description of the Table Rock may not
be uninteresting, as no geographer was ev
er yet a witness to the grandeur which is
exhibited by this monarch of the mountains,
and the knowledge possesee/d of it t>y the
publick is extremely limited. It is shuated
in the N. E. coiner of Pendleton district,
in lat. 35, 8 min. aod forms one among the
link of South mountains, which ranges
thfough the Southern States abont 30 1
miles from the Alleghany mountains,
usually denominated the Blue Ridge. It is
about 1200 feet higher than the surrounJ
ing country, 2000 feet above the low lands
of the SaluJa, and I think aboui 20,000 ft.
higher than the ocean. Although it i but
little higher than the surrounding moun
tains, and not quite as high as some of the
lofty peaks of the Alleghany, yet the whole
range of either does not present so sublime
and awful a spectacle as the Table Rock.
Thp Eastern, Northern and Southern fa
ces of it, are precipitous, and for about 600
feet present a naked front-of graoitff which
appears to be fluted, from the dripping of j
water down tbe sides.
Here and there a continued issue of wa-!
ter from the summit is trickling down, and
when the rays of the sun fall directly on the j
moistened part of the granite, it looks like !
a zone of brilliants, more beautiful than the
ceslqs of Venus.
When the foot of the mountain is gained,,
preparatory to an ascent on the western |
“ide, the eye is delighted with a stream of
water running with such velocity, that if
appears struggling to rench the Poien'jc,!
one of the tributary streams of the Saluda’
and the ear ever and anon catch e9 the 1
pounds of cataracts of unequal sige, forming
a musick in harmony with the deep sur 8
rounding dell. At this poioi a most beau
t.ful piece of scenery is presented, and so
hid from the eye, that it was
oiscovered accidentally.
By taking a posit- on on the rocks of the
streamlet, and looking eastwardly, the eye 1
re- s upon live cascades of unequal breadth:
rnmnbf (i B‘, 8 ‘ , * e 8 tbe * ,rea| n re
,L e .L ‘ n f, y ,be r > cb foliage of the
T ’ tbe mountaio laurel, tulip, holly £
cD‘ > snut, an,] forms by the interlocked
branches above, an arch more charming to
the beholder’s eye than the most laboured
efforts of art. It at once reminded me of
the beautiful description of Psyche’s resi
dence, when the urchin Cupid became her
admirer—
and to her glad survey,
Rise round her high p’er arching trees,
Whose branches gemm’d with blossoms gay,
1 brow perfumes to the lingering breeze ;
And sheltered from the noou-tide beam,
Through granite rocks there curling rooted,
Its silvery waves a lucent stream,
O’er sands of granulated g4d.
Immediately to the west a gurgling’ rill
unites its tributary waters to this beautiful
stream, and the traveller rests on a penio
a,,|® fitted for the residence of genii and
fairies. The soil ie extremely fertile, and
(he tall and majestick forest trees, uniting
their thick foliage above, form a most de
lightful canopy, entirely impervious to the
ray* of the sun.
If a more sublime spectacle was not at’
hand, the most fastidious taste would here ■
find every thing that the heart could de-i
sire, sketched in the most brilliant colour-’
ing. What a place forsome modern Abel-’
lart or love sick Petrarch to tell their ten
der passions; and who could resist the dul
cet notes of Sappho, in a place so well cal
culated to attune all out feeling* to soft lux
urious love. This stream is yet without a
• name, aod as Horeb’s rock beneath the
prophet’s hand poured forth ao abundance
I of water to sustain the fainting Israelites,
; let it hereafterbe called Refreshment creek
: —for the most hardy monotaineer cannot
: descend the declivity above without slaking
I his thirst at this lovely spot.
| From this point the rock is only to be as
i cended without danger. On the eastern
j face, with great risk ’it has been ascended
I by the assistance of a rope ladder at one
; particular point. A false step here is fatal,
I and but few have yet hazarded the ascent
| from this point. On the west where the
traveller ascends, it may bo rode by a good
horseman, hut even at this point it is diffi
cult to gain the summit. Before you reach
one half of the distance,the detAched moun
tains to the south and west are overlooked,
and you think the greatest elevation must
be at hand. great the disappointment.
The difficulties are continually increas
ing, until at length you arrive Rt a delight
ful spring, forming a beautiful rivulet, com
pletely overshadowed with forest trees.—
From this to the pinnacle, the ascent is
more easy; for about one hundred yards of
this distance a naked and solid rock of gra
nite is passed over, upon which the imagin
ation can trace a variety of animals and sin
gular figures ; but this is imagination only,
for upon a close inspection I could not see
the petrified alligator, nor the indentation
of horses’ feet. Time alone has made a
mark here, and the continual force of the
sun's rays, together with the descending
rains, have visibly corroded this apparently
imperishable monument of the Deity.
The cannon which had been carried on
the mountain to celebrate the commence
ment of the 48tIi year of American Inde
pendence, was placed at the south-west
point of the precipitous part of the rock,
from which a most beautiful, rich, and va
riegated prospect lay beneath. Let this
place be called Mount St. John.
On ascending to the pinnacle of the
mountain, which is about a quarter of a mile
from Moupt St. John, and about two miles
from Refreshment Creek, the traveller is
astonished to find the summit clothed with
a considerable growth of trees and shrub
bery. So closely are the branches inter
woven, it is impracticable to have a view of
the surrounding country.
By continuing a course to the eastern ex
tremity, passing a considerable descent for
a quarter of a mile, the celebrated cedar
tree is gained. Celebrated, because this
tree is the extreme point, beyond which
you cannot go, and to reach which fixes the
i ambition of a!J. The trunk and branches
of this isolated tree are a living monu
ment of hundreds of those that have
visited the Ta]?le Mountain. It is filled
throughout with the initials of names and
dates. Its roots seem firmly fixed in a sis
sure of the rock, by the.abruptioo of a part
of which access is so formed that you may
safely lean against the trunk.
The imagination is unable to paint the sensa
tions that are here experienced. A recital of facts
will be frigid indeed to those that have experien
ced them. The visitant stands upon the brink
of a precipice most awful and terrifick; about
600 feet of perpendicular granite is at your feet,
and the only stay a small tree. Gradually the
mind becomes reconciled to the danger, and be
gins leisurely to survey one of the richest pros
pects that can be unfolded to the eye of the be
holder.
The Dismal Mountain to the northeast seems to
precipitate itself forward to unite with the Tah’.e
Mountains, whilst Slicking Creek is descending
its sides, as brilliant as liquid glass, sometimes
falling twenty feet, aod in its whole course pre
cipitated by the descent with gr-^ t vio ] ence to
the base of its great pared* Yvhere it enters the
Saluda.
Next m this chain of Mountains isCoesar’s Head,
the Saluda Mountauvs, Fanthera Knob, and Hog
back Mountain ,r, Greenville. Tbe eye pacing
over Spartanbo.rgh, j s bounded in its view to the
east by King’* Mountain in York District, about
seventy miles distant. To the noith the horizon
??, bounded by the Blue Ridge, of towering and
majestick grandeur. But the south, southeast
and southwest, present the most beautiful pros
pect. Every acre of cultivated land, for a vast
extent of country, is seen. Tbe aluda, which
washes the base of the Table Rock, takes first a
southwest direction, approaching very near the
Oolenoe, where, like a coy damsel, it suddenly
takes an east direction, which it continues for a
few miles, when it suddenly turns its course
westwardly and unites with Oolenoe, near the
residence of the hospitable Philsmoit Brad
ford, so advantageously known to every one
that visits the Table Rock. Tbe tall trees be
| low have the appearance of shrubs, and the dwel
i ling-houses dwindle to the size of pig-sties. To
I the southwest, Brown’s, the Potatoe Hill and
! Glassy Mountains, arrest for a moment the eye,
! which immediately hurries on, until it its lost in
; the vast expanse before it. The Six Mile Moun
-1 tain, pear Pendleton Court-Houre, is distinctly
seen, and the Knob in Laurens is at the horizon
in the south.
To the southeast, Paris’ Mountain is overlook
ed, and the whole District of Greenville is spread
before the delighted view.
From the northeast a continued cataract is
heard from the side of the Sassapas Mountain.
Here nature has exerted herself to unite the wild
npd majestick with the soft and enchanting, and
all that is grand and sublime is mingled with the
rich and luxuriant. The foaming cataract and
gentle current, the sterile hills and cultivated val
lies, the majestick mountain and solitary dells are
united at one coup d’ceil, and form one of the
grandest spectacles jn nature. From Mount St.
’ John, to the westward, you see the Currehee
Mountains, in Georgia, as well as the intervening
mountains in Pendleton district.
Whilst at this place on the 4th July a federal
salute was fired at day-light, which was grand in
the extreme. The artillery of heaven has never
yet produced any thing to exceed it for grandeur
and sublimity. The reverberation from the ad
jaeent mountains, the long and lingering sound as
it recedes in the vallies, occasionally separating
when intervening obstructions arise, fills the hear
’ er with awful feelings of wonder and delight.
The impression of this national festival con nev
er be forgotten. About five hundred persons,
1 wbh Govemour Wilson and suite, spent the day
t a . t th ‘* place, whtSre every demonstration of na
tional feeling was evinced.
LETTER WRITING.
The following singular jingling letter is from the
pen of Mr. Cowper, the celebrated poet, to tbe
Rev. Mr. Newton, dated July 12, 1781.
My very dear Friend—l etrx going to seltd,
what, when you have read, you may scratch your
head, and say, 1 suppose there’s nobody knows,
whether What I have got, be verse or not; by the
tune and the time, it ought to be rhyme; but if
it be, did you ever see, of late or of yore, suph a
ditty before ?
1 have writ charity, not for popularity, but as
well as I could, in hopes to do good ; an* if the
reviewers should say, “to be sure the gentleman's
muse wears Methodist shoes, you may know by
her pace, and talk about grace, that she and her
bard have little regard for the taste and fashions,
and ruling passious, and hoydening play of the
modern day; and though she assume a burrowed
plume, and now and then wear a tittering air, it
is only her plan, to catch if she can, tlie giddy and
gay, as they go that way, by a production on a
new construction; she has baited her trap in
hopes to snap all that may come, with _u sugar
plum.” His opinion in this will not be amiss;
’tis what 1 intend, my principal end ; and if I suc
ceed, and folks should read, till a few are brought
to a serious thought, I shall think 1 am paid for
all I have said, and ail I have done, though 1 have
run many a time after a rhyme, as far as from
hence to the end of my sense, and by hook or by
crook, write another book if I live and am here
another year.
I heard before of a room, with a floor laid upon
springs, and such like things, with so much art
in every pnrt, that when you went in, you was
forced to begin a minute pace, with au uir’Snd a
grace, swimming about, now in, and now out,
with a great deal of slate, in a figure of eight,
without pipe or string, or any such thing ; and
now 1 have writ in a rhyming fit, what will make
you dance, and as you advance, will keep you
still, though against your will, dancing away,
alert and gay, till yon come to an end of what l
have penn’d : which, that you may do ere madam
and you are quite worn out jigging about. 1 take
my leave ; and here you receceive a bow pro
found, down to the ground, from your humble
me—W. C.
THE ITALIAN BANDIT.
[From tht Notes of a Traveller.]
The following is an account of an Italian bandit
who was shot in Italy by the order of Geuera)
Church :
“ The most astonishing bandit, whose exploits
somewhat resemble the celebrated ones of the
famous Rinaldo Rinaldini, was a priest, named
Cyra Anichiarico , born in the small town of Gro
tagil, on the road from Tarento to Lecee. His
first Achievement was the murder of a whole fam
ily in the town of Traneavilla. He had at the
time of his death been a bandit for more than 20
years: and from his daring and success, the coun
try people believed him to be a devil or magician,
and scoffed at the soldiers who were sent to pur
sue him. When the French General Octavio, a
Corsican by birth, commanded in this province,
a man one day presented himself before him, and
said, with a fierce air, “ The bandit whom you
have so long hunted is now before you, but if he
is molested, you will he assassinated before night
fall.” Anichiarico turned and disappeared, and
from that time General Octavio doubtless had
faith in the belief of the people, for the bandit
was not taken until he was pursued by a body of
troops under Geneial Church. When this Gen
eral was one day in pursuit of the banditti and
their leader, he was accosted by a peasant, who
drew him aside and gave him some intelligence
concerning Anichiarico. On the very next day
this peasant was found dead in his village, with a
paper pinned on his breast with these t<rrible
words inscribed—” This is the fate of all’ those
who betray Anichiarico.” The last band which
this leader commanded, was called the “ Decid
ed each man possessed a certificate, bearing
two death’s heads, with bloody emblems, and the
great words of “Justice, liberty or death,” signed
“ Anichiarico.” 1 saw; one of the certificates in
General Church’s possession, which was written
with human blood. At last, in January, 1819,
this astonishing bandit finding himself beset on nil
points by the soldiers under the command of the
General, threw himself about sunset in an old
tower, in the midst of a farm yard, near the small
town of Cashuba, hoping probably that in the
dead of the night, he should be able to escape
through the soldiers, many of whom were his
friends, and all of whom believed him to be the
deviL But in the course of one hour after it wug
perceived he had taken this position, a close Vihe
of light troops was drawn round the ‘cower by
order of the General, out of reach of musket shot,
and after a siege of 36 bovirs, he was forced to
surrender himself and the remnant of his band,
having fired away all their cartridges, and killed
and wounded eleven of the enemy He was car
ried to Traneavilla, the scene of the first murder,
and there shot. It was on a Sunday when he was
sentenced to be executed, and Gen. Church sent
to ask the priests of the town, if it was according
to their religion to shoot a man on thpt day!
Their answer was, “ The better the day the bet
ter the deed.” Anichiarico died, like a madman.
From eight to ten thousand persons were assem
bled to see him shot, and to the last moment they
actually treated with scorn the notion that bullets
would pierce such a man.
A young man in orders on being asked by
an apothecary at a publick dinner, and in a voice
elevated to catch general attention, how it hap
pened that the patriarchs lived to such extreme
old age, “ Probably, replied the juvenile priest,
they took no physick.
