From the New York Statesman.
LA FAYETTE.
Hail, Patriot, Statesman, Hero, Sage,
Hail, Freedom’s friend ! bail, Gallia’s son—
Whose laurels greener grow in age,
Pluck’d by the side of Washington !
Hail, champion in a holy cause,
When hostile bands our shores beset,
Whose valour bade the oppressor pause—
Hail, hoary warrior—La Fayette !
Forever welcome to the shore,
A youthful chief, thy footsteps press'd ;
And dauntless, want and peril bore,
Till Vsni, Vies,* deck’d thy crest!
Forever welcome, Great and Good !
’Till Freedom’s sun on earth be set,
The still small voice of gratitude
Shall bless the name of La Fayette.
What monarch of despotick power,
Who fain would crush the free-born brave,
Whose glory gilds a tottering tower,
Himself a subject and a slave—-
Would not, to view a nation’s eyes,
With joyous drops unbidden wet,
The pageantry of pride despise,
And grasp the hand of La Fayette.
Whene’er the lips of youth inquire
The path to virtue, honour fame—
To glory’s temple proud aspire,
While warmly glows the ardent flame ;
The voice of age shall fearless tell
What perils oft its path beset,
And prompt them onward by the spell
That urg’d the soul of La Fayette.
And when the shades of death shall close
Forever round thy hallowed head,
We’ll seek the place of thy repose,
By filial love and duty led ;
And hearts that beat in bosoms free,
(Gems by unerring wisdom set,)
The living monument shall be,
Os Freedom’s champion—La Fayette.

EPIGRAM.
” If nature never acts herpart in vain,
Who,said an Atheist,shall this fact explain,
Why in the glow-worm does her power pro
duce
Such lavish lustre for so little use ?”
A plain blunt fellow who by chance stood by,
Heard what he said, and made him this reply :
“ Nature, quoth he, explains her own design,
She meant to mortify all pride like thine,
When o’er an insect's tail such light she spread,
And left such darkness in a coxcomb’s bead.”

From the Charleston Mercury.
The Maid of Carolina. -We are happy to
find that Judge James, in his new work on
the first struggle of Republicanism, has (as
might have been anticipated) awarded the
highest honour to the ladies, which is not
more than mere justice to ibeir conduct
When werecal their fortitude,(heir devotion
to the cause of 76, their cheerfulness under
disaster, and their magnanimity, we have
considered a biography of the ladies of that
period as a desideratum, which would furo
isb the patriotism of Sparta, the wit, the
ingenuity of Athens.—The following is
one of the many brilliant illustrations :
Emily Geiger. —At the time Gen. Greene
retrealed before Lord Rawdon from Nine
ty-Six, when he had passed Broad River he
was very desirous to send an order to Gen.
Sumter, who was on the VVateree, to join
him, that they’ might attack Rawdon, who
had divided bis force. Bot the General
could find no man in that part of the stair
who was bold enough to undertake so dan
gerous a mission. The country to be pas
§ed through for many miles was full of
blood thirsty tories, who on every occasion
that offered imbrued their hands in the
blood of the whigs. At length Emily Gei
ger presented herself to Gen. Greene, and
proposed to act as his messenger; and the
General both surprised and delighted, clos
ed with her proposal. He accordingly
wrote a letter and delivered it, and at the
time communicated the contents cf it
verbally, to be told to Sumter in case of
accidents. Emily was young, hut as to her
person or adventures on the way, we have
do further information except that she was
mounted on horseback upon a side saddle,
and on the second day of her journey she
was intercepted by Lord Rawdon’s scouts.
Coming from the direction of Greene’s ar
my, anJ not being able to tell an untruth
without blushing , Emily was suspected, and
coofioed to a room ; and as the officer in
command had the modesty not to search
her at the time, he sent for an old to,ry
matron as more fitting for (hat purpose.
Emily was not wanting in expedient, and as
soon as the door was closed and the bustle
a little subsided she ale. up the letter piece
by piece. After a while the matron arriv
ed, and upon searching carefully nothing
was to be found of a suspicious nature
about the prisoner, and she would disclose
nothing. Suspicion being (bus allayed, the
officer commanding the scouts suffered
Emily to depart for where she said she was
bound ; but she took a rout somewhat cir
cuitous to avoid further detention, and soon
after struck in the road to Sumter’s camp,
where she arrived in safety. Emily told
her adventure,and delivered Greene’s ver
bal message to Sumter, who in consequence
soon after joined the main army at Orange
burg. Emily Geiger afterwards married
Mr. Therwits, a rich planter on the Con
garee. She has been dead thirty-five years,
but it is trusted her name will descend to
posterity among those of the patriotick fe
males of the revolution.
A writer in the Boston Gazette furnishes an
other anecdote illustrative of the patriotism of
American females, in “ times that tried men’s
souls,” which is equally worthy of record :
It is to be desired that all the anecdotes
which will serve to illustrate the female
character, and to shew the part they took
in the contest, should be collected, as soon
as possible. Ifwill soon be too late for ac
curate details. We recollect of hearing an
anecdote ‘from an unquestionable source,
■illustrative of the spirit and feelings pre
vailing among the female of that day. Al
though it is not marked by the slightest
touch of the romantick, yet it has sufficien
cy of strength to keep it from being vulgar.
A good lady—we knew her well when she
had grown old—in 1775, lived on the sea
board, about a day’s march from Boston,
where the British army then was. By some
unaccountable accident,a rumor was spread,
in town and country, in and about there,
that the Regulars were on a full march for
the place, and would probably arrive in
three hours at farthest. This was after the
battle of Lexingtou, and all, as might be
well supposed, was in sad confusion—some
were boiling with rage and full of fight,
some with fear and confusion, some hiding
their treasures, and others flyiog for life.
This wild moment, when most people, in
some way or other, were frightened from
their propriety, onr heroine, who bad two
sons, one about nineteen years of age, and
the other about sixteen, was seen by our
informant, preparing them to discharge
their duty. The eldest she was able to
equip in fine style—she took her husband’s
fowling piece, “made for duck or plover,”
(the good man being absent on a coasting
voyage to Virginia) and with it the powder
horn and shot bag; but the lad thinking the
duck and goose shot not quite the size to
kill regulars, his mother took a chisel, cut
up her pewter spoons, and hammered them
into slugs, and put them into his bag, and
he set off in great earnest, but thought he
would call one moment and see the parson,
who said well done, my brave boy—God
preserve you—and on be went in the way
of his duty. The youngest wa9 importu
nate for his equipments, but bis mother
could find nothing to arm him with but an
old rusty sword ; the boy seemed rather
unwitting to risk himself with this alone, but
lingered in the street, in a state of hesita
tion, when his mother thus upbraided him :
‘■'•You John H***** , what will your father
say if he hears that a child of his is afraid to
meet the British, go along ; beg or borrow a
gun , or you will find one, child—some coward,
/ dare ray, will be running away , then take
his gun and march forward, and if you come
baek and I hear you have not behaved like a
man, I shall carry the blush of shame on my
\face to the grave.” She then shut the door,
’ wiped the tear from her eye, and waited
| the issue; the hoy joined the march. Such
j a woman could not have cowards for her
| sons. Instances of refined and delicate
j pride, and affection, occurred, at that peri
oil, every day, in different places, and in
fact this disposition and feeliog was then so
common, that it now operates as one great
cause of our not having pjore facts of this
kind recorded. What few there are re
membered should not be lost. Nothing
great or glorious wa9 ever achieved which
woman did not act in, advise, or consent to.
WASHINGTON IRVING.
This brightest ornament of American lit
erature, it seem 9is not likely to return to
this country again very soon. We have
long regretted his absence from the coun
try, and have at times almost been led to
question the warmth and purity of bis pat
riotism, when we heard of bis fame in a
foreign land; and his giving the best of his
days and Ihe brightest of his crowns to
Mranger9. It would, we think, be much
more gratpful to American bosoms to have
him here among us, that we might be the
first partakers m the fruits of his genius,
and behold his laurels growing in their
freshness. But it seems that he is better
patronized in Europe than in his native
country, and we begin to fear that he will
live there and die there as our WEST did
before him.
He is now engaged in France in a work
that will probably occupy his time for sev
eral years ; viz. the publication of a com
plete collection of English literature.
Mr. Irving has lately published a novel,
for the copy right of which Mr. Murray,
bookseller in London, has given him about
seven thousand dollars. [East. Arg.
Town of Wiltshire, Ohio.— Letters have been
received from C’apt. Riley, who ii known to the
publick as having suffered captivity and bondage
in the Great Desert of Sahara. Mr. Riley says :
“ In the year 1821, I settled with my family on
the banks of the St. Mary’s river, 40 miles from
its junction with (he Miami of Lake Erie. In
this wilderness I built my log cabin, being 35 miles
from any inhabitant, and 5 miles from any road
or path. My object was to establish mills and to
build up a town, which would be likely to per
petuate the name of my great benefactor, Will
shire, and where my children, with proper energy
and industry, might rise with the country. This
1 have in some measure accomplished—for after
encountering the ravages of the wolf and the
heaf, among our domesticated animals, I have
succeeded to draw a population around me, suffi
cient to banish such tresspassers, and have acta
ally realized the town of Wiltshire, through which
runs a stage and a post-road, and where ,we have
now a post office, a court of Justice for the Coun
ty of Nanwert, and a settlement of 24 families.
Cultivation begins to smile around us ; fruit trees
and esculent plants now afford us some of their
delicacies, and my town bred family are happily
reconciled to part with former luxuries and
to fabricate their own clothing, and to drink do
mestick tea and coffee, &c. These are grateful
circumstances—but I have had my share of disas
ters—my mill dams have broken and my money is
exhausted. If some adventurers would buy some
of my town lots I should be essentially relieved ;
for 500 dollars in my present condition would af
ford me all the resources I need ; bat money is
not easy to be borrowed here, where every me
cbanick is at the end of his tether.”
lathe same letter he mentions, that as late as
March, 1823, his friend Wiltshire had not been
able to hear of any of Riley’s companions left in
slavery, and he presumes they must have been
carried far into the ioteriour, beyond the Atlas
Mountains. He states that he has been made a
representative to the legislature of Ohio. His
town continnes to thrive. They have a river nav
igation six months in the year, and the prospect
ol a trade with New York by the Grand Canal,
via Lake Erie.
A large dog, raving with hydrophobia, being fol
lowed by a company of boye, suddenly plnnged
down the cellar steps of the house of Mr. J. Cheese
man, Lombardy-st. The lady of the honse with
her infant child in her arms, perceiving bis ap
proach, rushed to the pantry, and had just time, to
close the door upon herself and babe. The furi
ous animal made his way through the kitchen and
cellar, snapping at every thing that obstructed his
course. The lady, in great consternation, looked
through a small window, and from her place of
refuge besought some of the mob who had collect
ted round the cellar door, to come to her assis
tance, but none had sufficient courage, until a lad
about 13 or fourteen years of age appeared, and
with a bravery scarcely equalled by the venera
ble Putnam, when he shot the wolf, descended
the steps in pursuit of the rabid animal. The
courageous boy found him in a vault, where he
had bitten the stone and plaister for the space of
two feet. Having made a noose in a rope, he ap
proached him, and at the hazard of his life, cast it
over his neck. Dragging the dog after him, be
made his way to the cellar steps, which he as
cended amidst the shouts of the applauding mob,
and to the great joy of the liberated mother. The
lad completed his triumph by drowning the dog.
Several times did the animal snap at him and once
bit him, but not so as to draw blood.

The Utica (New York) Centinel of the 27th
July, states that Watermelons from North Caroli
na were selling in abundance in the streets of that
town. These melons had to travel a distance of
900 miles, and it affords a striking illustration of
the incalculable facilities of water communication
that they should remain fresh and palatable after
having been carried so great a distance. Utica is
an inland town on the great canal, 250 miles from
the city of New York, the nearest sea-port.

Military Anecdote. —During a heavy cannon
ade between the French and English armies in
Spain, a Brilish general officer noticed a spent
cannon ball rolling towards him. As it ap
proached, he stepped nimbly aside, took off his
hat, and making a low bow, observed, “ Pass on,
