THE LOSS OF FRIENDS.
Friend after friend departs,
Who bath not lost a friend ?
Them is no union here of heart*
That finds not here an end ;
Were this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
Beyond the flight of time,-
Beyond the reign of death, —
Thet** surely is some blessed clime
WherS(life is not a breath ;
Nor life-affections’ transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upward and expire?
There is a world above
Where parting is unknown;
A long eternity of love
Form’d for the good alone ;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that glorious sphere.
Thus star by star declines,
’Til) all are past away ;
As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day :
Nor sink’ those stars in empty night.
But hide themselves in Heaven’s own light.
MONTGOMERY.
MISCELLANY.
GEN MINA.
We have now before os a concise narfa
five of the origin, progress, exploits* and tin
grateful treatment by his king, of one of the
most extraordinary characters that Spain,
or any other country has produced.
This book is in the Spanish language,
with an English translation on the opposite
leaf. It contains a brief, unostentatious
statement of the birth, parentage, militarv
life and services of Don Francisco Espoz y
Mma, a name that ought to have been cher
isbed by every Spaniard to the latest pos
terity, as one of the most ardent and inex
tinguishable defenders of his country's lib
erties.
The parents of Mina were honest far
mers, ot the village of Idoziu, in Navarre,
where he was born on the 17th of June,
1781. His education was suitable to the
station of his parents. Reading and wri
ting appear to have beeD the extent of his
attainments, and be devoted himself to hus
bandry on the little farm of his father, which
from his death be continued to cultivate,
until the age of 26 years. Roused by the
treacherous iovasioo of Napoleon, he en
listed as a private io Doyle’s battalion, in
1809, but subsequently joined a Guerrilla
commanded by bis nephew, Xavier Mi
na—who, being captured, the Guerilla
disbanded ; but seven of the soldiers, nomi
nating Mina as their chief, a fresh Guerilla
was formed, which led to bis appointment
of Commander-in-chief of the Guerilla of
Navarre.
“ Immediately after I wa9 named com
mander in chief of the Guerillas of Navarre.
I disarmed all those who were at the head
of Ibem, and particularly one named Eche
verria. This man, under the mask o!
Guerillero, with from 600 to 700 infantry,
and aboot 200 cavalry, was the terror of
the villages, which he plundered and op
pressed in a thousand ways ; which obliged
them to complain to me concerning him.—
In consequence I proceeded to F.stella on
the 13th of July, 1810, and having myself
arreled him io a house where he was at
the time, though my force was considerably
iaferiour to his, I caused him on tbe same
day to be shot, together with three of bis
principal accomplices, and I incorporated
his soldiers with those I commanded, wbo
did not exceed at that time, -100 men of all
arms.
“ Daring this campaign I gave battle or
sustained the attack (without reckoning
Email encounters) in 143 regular actions.
“Os these actions —in that of Rocafort
and Sanguesa, with scarcely three thousand
men, 1 routed 5,000,t00k their artillery .and
caused the enemy a loss of 2,000 killed,
wounded and prisoners. In that between
Salmas and Arlibnn I completely routed the
enemy, killed 700 of his men, took all the
convoy they were escorting and liberated
from 600 to 700 Spaniards whom they were
carrying prisoners into France; and in that
ofManeru, I entirely destroyed, with the
lost of its artillery, Abbe’s division, consist
ing of 5000 men, pot the greater part of
its cavalry to the sword, and followed tip
the remainder during the night, for the
space of five leagues, to the very gates of
Pampeluna. It would be too minute and
improper to continue in this extract the
details of wbat occurred io various other
actions.
“ I kept in check in Navarre 26,000 men
for the space of 53 days, who would other
wise have assisted in the battle of Sala
manca, as they were on the march to join
Marmont’s army ; and by cutting down the
bridges and breaking up the roads, I pre
vented the advance of 80 pieces of artillery
which would otherwise have been employ
ed in that battle.
u 1 contributed to the happy result of the
decisive battle ofVittoria, for if, by the ma
noeuvres I executed, I had not prevented
the divisions of Clanssel and Foi, which
consisted of 28,000 meo, from effecting a
junction, and intercepted their correspon
dence, the result would have been very
doubtful.
“ Among the instances in which during
the war in Spain, the enemy’s squares were
charged with success, were three squares
broken by me, viz. that at Placentia,where
notwithstanding the superiour numbers of
the enemy, I made 1200 infantry prisoner-,
and put to the sword the whole of his cav
airy ; that of Sanguesa, where 1 charged
the column called the “ Infernal,” took
900 men prisoners, and followed tip the re
mainder as far as Sos ; and that of Lerin £
the plains of Lodosa, where, at the head of
my cavalry, and notwithstanding General
Burbot was only at the distance of a musket
shot from the field of battle, and that 6000
men more were only three leagues off, I
broke several times the square formed by
the enemy, ‘who were rafanfty, and killed I
or took prisoners a column of 1100 men, of j
whom only the commander of the column
and two others escaped.
*• The French, rendered furious by the
disasters they experienced in Navarre, and
by their fruitless attempts to exterminate
my troops, having begun a horrible warfare
upon me in 1811, hanging or shooting every
soldier and officer of mine who fell into
their hands, as also (he friends of the vol
unteers who served with me, and carrying
off to France a great number of familiea, I
published on the 14th of Dec. tbe same
year, a solemn Declaration, composed of
23 articles, tbe first of which ran thus : “Id
Navarre,a war of extermination is proclaim
ed against tbe French Army, without dis
tinction of soldiers or chiefs, not excepting
the emperor of the French.” And this sort
of warfare 1 carried on for some time,
keeping always in the valley of the Roncal
a great depot of prisoners, so that if the en
emy hong or shot ohe of my officers, I did
the same with four of his ; one of my sol
diers, I did the 9ame with 20 of his. In this
manner I succeeded in terrifying him, and
obliged him to propose to me tbe cessation
of so atrocious a system, which was accord
ingly agreed to.”

FRANCIS BAKER.
No circumstance, perhaps in many years, lias
created so strong a sensation throughout the
country as the horrid murder of Mr. Francis Ba
ker, editor of the Mirsissippian, by Isaac Desha,
son oftbe Governour of Kentucky. Desha has
been tried for the murder, found guilty, aud a
new trial grunted on the ground of improper in
terference with the jury on the part of some indi
viduals. Tbe following extract of a letter pur
porting to be from a brother of the deceased,
throwsyet a deeper shade upon this most tragical
affair. Should the accused again be found guilty,
his father has the power of pardoning.
Georgian.
Elizabethtown, JV. J. Dee. 31, 1824.
Sir —Although 1 am a stranger to you, I
am encouraged by the knowledge that you
are acquainted with many of my connec
tions, to write Io you on tbe subject of my
poor brother’s fate, who was, I believe, ac
quainted with you.
As this awful event roust have excited a
strong interest io tbe publick mind to know
who and what the deceased was. I will
briefly state, for your better information, as
well as for the information of the publick
at large, that he was a native of Trenton in
Ibis state, well educated, and bred to tbe
law, which he studied under tbe late attor
ney general Woodruff In the year 1815,
and when he had just completed his 21st
year, he removed to Natchez, where sev
eral of the members of our family reside,
•iud became the conductor of a publick
journal, his acquirements and taste a a
helle9 lettres scholar, qualified him to con
duct it with ability. His disposition was
mild and unoffending, his heart affectionate
and benevolent, and his manners so bland,
as to render him the delight of his friends.
But so inscrutable ate the ways of a just and
merciful God, that the man who was tbe
friend of tbe unfortunate, who was always
ready to succour the distressed, who had sn
often sought out the wretched, and had so
frequently exposed his life whilst adminis
tering comfort and relief to the sick and de
serted sufferer during the pestilence at
Natchez, has now fallen by the ruthless
hand of a highway robber, and among
strangers.
The circumstances under which he was
about to revisit the place of his nativity, af
ter so long an absence, are most affecting
His only business here, was his intended
marriage with a young lady of great merit,
to whom he had been teuderly attached for
more than nine years, a degree of constancy
of affection as rare as it is honourable to
both parlies. As soon as his pecuniary af
fairs would admit of the important change,
he set out for New Jersey, and was thas far
on his journey when met by the monster in
human shape, to whose violence he must
have fallen an easy victim, in consequence
of great debility, caused by sickness on the
road, of which he speaks in a letter to the
young lady, dated at Lexington, on the 26tb
October. As he had apprised hi friends
that his stay here must be necessarily short,
his business requiring his immediate return
to Natchez, the necessary preparations had
been made for the marriage, friends invit
ed, &c. and his arrival was hourly looked
for, when the dreadful tidings were receiv
ed in a newspaper. Os the state of the
young lady’s mind, I shall not attempt to
speak, for words would be inadequate to
describe it, and 1 will only add, it i9 such as
renders it too probable there will be a total
loss of reason, although she is yet ignorant
of the manner of his death. Thus has this
tragedy been rendered doubly tragical, and,
indeed, in all its circumstances, it resem
bles more tbe incidents of an Arabian tale,
than the sad realities of life.
We have heard that Isaac Desha,* a son
of the governour of Kentucky, has been ap
prehended as the murderer, under such cir
cumstances as to render his guilt as appa
rent as if he had been taken in Jlagrante—
although the benignity of our laws requires
‘hut he should have as fair and impartial a
trial, as though his case was one of the
most doubtful.
ticonderoga.
The following is Col. Ethan Aflen’s account of
the capture of Ticonderoga, on the 10th of
May, 1775.
T he first systematical and bloody attempt
at Lexington, to enslave America, thor
oughly electrified my mind, and fully de
termined me to take a part with my coun
try. And while I was wishing for an op
portunity to signalize myself in its behalf,
directions were privately sent to me from
I the (hen colony, now state of Connecticut,
jto raise the Green Mountain Boys, and if
possible to surprise and take the fortress
of Ticonderoga. This enterprise I cheer
fully undertook; and after guarding all the
several passages that led Ihither, to cut off
all intelligence between the garrison and
the country, made a forced inarch from
Bennioglon, and arrived at the lake at Ti
conderoga, 1775, with 230 valiant Green
Mountain Boys; and it was with the utmost
difficulty that 1 procured boats to cross the
lake. However, I had landed 83 men near
the garrison, and sent the boats back for
the rear guard, commanded by Col. Seth
Varner; but the day began to dawn, and I
found myself necessitated to attack the fort,
before the rear could pass the lake; and
as it was viewed hazardous, I harangued
the officers and soldiers in the following
manner:—“Friends and fellow soldiers,
yon have for a number of years past been
the scourge and terror to arbitrary power.
Your valor hag been famed abroad and
acknowledged, as appears by the orders
to me from the General Assembly of Con
necticut, to surprise and take the garrison
now before us. I now propose'to advance
before you, and m person conduct you
through the wicket gate ; for we must this
morning either quit our pretentions to va
lor, or possess ourselves of this fortress m
a few minutes ; aftd inasmuch as it is a des
perate attempt, which none but the bravest
men dare undertake, I do not urge it on any
contrary to his will. You that will un
dertake voluntarily, poise your firelocks.”
The men being at this lime drawn up in
three ranks, each poised his firelock. I
ordered them to face to the right; and nt
the head of the centre file marched them
immediately to the wicket gate aforesaid,
where I fonud a sentry posted, who instant
ly snapped his fuzee at me. I ran imme
diately towards him and he retreated though
the covered way into the parade within
the garrison, gave a halloo, and ran under
a bomb proof. My party followed me into
the fort, I formed on the parade in such a
manner as to face the barracks which faced
each other. The garrison being asleep
except the sentries, we gave three huzzas,
which greatly surprised them.—Oue of the
sentries made a pass at one of my officers
with a charged bayonet, and slightly wound
ed him. My first thought was to kill him
with my sword, but in an instant I altered
the design and fury of the blow to a slight
cut on the side of the head : upon which
he dropped his gun asked quarters, which
I readily granted him; and demanded where
the commanding officer slept, he showed
me a pair of stairs in front of the garrisoo,
which led up to a second story in said bar
racks; to which I immediately repaired,
and ordered the commander, Captain Dela
place, to come forth instantly, or I would
sacrifice the whole garrison. At which
the captain came immediately to the door
with his breeches in his hand, when I order
ed him to deliver up the fori instantly. He
asked me by what authority I demanded it.
I answered him—“ In the name of the
great Jehovah—andh —and Continental Congress.”
The authority of Congress being very little
known at that time,he begaD to speak again,
but I interrupted him, and with a drawn
sword near his head, demanded an imme
diate surrender of the garrison ; with which
he then complied, and ordered his men to
be forthwith paraded without arras, as be
had given up the garrison In the mean
time some of my officers had given orders,
and in consequence thereof, sundry oftbe
barrack doors were beaten down and about
one third of the garrison imprisoned, which
consisted of said commander, a lieutenant
Felbam, a conductor of artillery, a gunner,
two sergeants, and forty-four rank and file,
about 100 pieces of cannon, one thirteen
inch mortar and a number of swivels.—
This enterprise was carried into execution
iD the gray of the morning of the 10th of
May, 1775. The sun 9eemed to rise that day
with a superior lustre, and Ticonderoga <s•
its dependencies smiled on its conquerors,
who tossed about the flowing bowl, and
drank success to Congress, and liberty aDd
freedom to America.

Tkcumskb.—A gentleman of high standing in
Virginia, gave me the following, as related to him
by the officer who waa the subject of it. This of
ficer, in a skirmish with a party of British and In
dians v in tbe late war, waa severely wounded and
unable to rise. Two Indians rushed towards him
to secure his scalp as their prey. One appeared
to be a chief warrior, and was clad in a British
uniform. The hatchet was uplifted to give the
fatal blow. The thought passed his mind that
some of the chiefs were Masons, and members of
travelling Lodges, in the British army. He gave
a masonick sign. It stayed the arm of the savage
warrior. The hatchet fell harmless to the ground
—the Indian sprang forward, caught him in his

Mechauick’s Shops.
Useful Invention. —Much curiosity was excited
yesterday eveuing, in the Strand, says a London
paper, by the appearance of a gentleman on horse
back,from whose feet streams of light issued forth,
and showed the pavement several yards before
and around the head of his horse as clearly as in
day-time. He stopped at ouroffice, and we found
on examination that the light proceeded from a
set of lamps of his invention, one of which was
fixed under each stirrup, and having three sides
darkened, emitted in front a blaze, which was
prevented, by the rider’s feet, from rising to daz
zle his eyes, and lell on the foreground with such
power as to make every hollow or impediment
visible, and render it as safe to ride in the darkest
night as in the brightest noon. The lamps are
supplied with common oil, and so ingeniously ar
ranged, that the light is not affected in the least
by the motion of the horse. The gentleman, who
left his name, Mr. Peat, No. 167, Piccadilly, had
just ridden from Romford, in Essex, to town, and
his lamps were in as good order, and shoue as bril
liantly as when he set out.
When the British fleet arrived off New Orleans,
in Dec. 1814, previous to Packenham’s landing
his army, the admiral of the fleet sent his com
pliments to Gen. Jackson, and informed him that
he, (the admiral) would do himself the honour of
eating his Christmas dinner in New Orleans.—
“ May be so,” replied Old Hickory, “ but I shall
do myself the honour of presiding at the table.”
Superstition. —The following instance of the
miserable state of superstition existing iu Spain,
has been stated as a fact:— Anew Marine In
surance Company was some time since estab
lished at Madrid, in which the premiums were fix
ed on a scale much below any that was ever heard
of, or such as the nature of sea risks would war
rant. The Company, as may be supposed, soon
fell to the ground. On it being asked how the
projectors could think of succeeding upon such a
scale of calculations, one of them replied, that
they had set apart a certain number of shares for
the Virgin Mary, and relied upon her influence to
protect them from loss !—London paper.
’ The brine in which cucumbers are preserved, is
discovered to be fatally poisonous to cattle and
bogs. A gentleman in a neighbouring town, has
lately lost several cattle and hogs in consequence
of their drinking it. —Rutland Herald.
Matrimony. —Tobin, in his Honey Moon, says,
“ All women are angels before marriage, and this
is the reason why husbands wish them in heaven
afterwards.”
The woman of sensibility who preserves sereni
ty and good temper amid the insults of a faithless,
brutal husband, wants nothing of an angel but
immortality.
The woman who rises above sickness and pov
erty combined, may look down upon the noisy
heroism of kings and generals.
