H my than 1 lune —none would confide morcim-j ( pheiily m their ability to defend us against an invading foe, xxvre that foe a civilized one. Cut, the service of wliich 1 speak, requires the de script ion of tro j s tliat 1 now propose. The; Indian is here to-day and gone to-morrow; and the oi lv trace ot i.tj presence is misery, hlood-i > i shed, and tears. If you call upon your army to| ■ pro tec r us, before they art'ive at their destined B point, the enemy has uisappenr<‘d. ■ Put it may be asked, why not mount a parti of live army, under the con luct of their own otii-| , j cers f !hir, there are two reasons : the olticers o; ;i;c army are, tor the most part, unacquaint | rd xx iih the country and xvith the habits and Lmole ol \vaifare oi the enemy. They art* ma iv [of .hem young men, acquainted xxiih the tlueory ■ but not the practice of war. This service rc- I quires practical men, acquainted with the In. B d ans and their habits. It requires men xvho.j like our western hunters, have been raised with’ H tlie rille in th.cir hmid.; wao ride through the ini flj m, use forests of our country with as much ease | I as others upon a plain and love! road; who! na' et xxuh an unerring and certain aim; and j xvno are, in every respect, eminently qualified for the duty proposed by this bill. | The inhabitants of the frontier would have ip w-'xre confidence in being defended, by their fa tilers, husbands, mid brothers, many of xvhom are experivneed in this kind of warfare, and fl who are emphatically of themselves, than by Ico mparative s: rangers. Vfomd you shorten ■ t us war that is now raging on our frontier, rais B this troop. Five hundred men, letl by an odi ■ cer suited to this service, is sufficient, after the I first sirncgic shall have been decided, to march tnrough the Indian country from Lake Michi- :m 50 the Misc-Asbyh. *BB io discomfr the Indians, you must make rr ;;Bp’i marches, carry 'tie war into the heart of tltetr coitßiry. and compel them to seek shelter if) t«‘f their women and children in the swamps and I nvirshcs. Large bodies move slowly. A por- I tion of your army is on Kock River. Os their H movements nothing has boon heard for some m days, iho Indians arc breaking un the settle- I incuts, and driving in the inhabitants south of I them, and in the neighl* h dos Galena in th« r rth. Move your army south, and the Indians dy both re them, and murder at other points, un it ss our :v .’.hi i defend the frontier. On the s 'ore ofecouomy it is better and c’.ioap t to raise the troop proposed, than to attempt to d tend the frontier with militia. One year’s i v f r this battafi<m wilt not amount to v (,OOC I c ’ars. while more than that sum has been ap- W propnated for this summer’s campaign alone, BB --ud v\ in probably be iosulHcieat to meet rheob » k li you wish, after the present war is ended.

York Daily Advertiser, in his paper of the 7th jiinst, works himself almost iu.o a paroxism oi j I j amiable seDsibility, at what he is pletised to ima- , i'giae, as the oppressetl and sorrowful condition j j| of the Missionaries, who voluntarily remain in ; the Peniten iary of Georgia, rather than obey and respect .he laws of the State. He is pleas ed to denounce the conduct of Georgia, as not only oppressive and tyrannical, but one of the j most disgraceful acts recorded in Modern Histo- j ; ry. In the event the Missionaries should fail : ;! v ictims to their own tollv, the Editor thinks the i !■ authorities of Georgia might be aptly compared ! xvith tiie iniquitous horrors of the Spanish luqui- ; i sition. .Now can it be possible, that the Editor does : 1 not know his pretended sympathy, is all rant — j mere philanthropic fudged Does he require) Hto be informed, that the aforesaid Missionaries j may recover their liberty at any moment they i i may choose to evince the same xvillingness to | j; obey the laws of the country, that otiier citizen-, j ; freelv recognize?

RAIL-ROADS.—The following important ■ fact appears, from the Report of Air, Kvioht, jj the eminent Engineer of the Baltimore’and O hio Rah-Road, viz: that one ordinary sized I! horse wi.i, with ease, for ids constant work, I! draw two load'd Cars of 7,200 lbs. each, upon ; a Rail-road, xvirh an ascent that varies from a level io 37 1-2 feet per mile. So that on these Roads, one horse xviil perform the work of 12 or ' 14 horses on common roads, and at all seasons lof the year. This, cays the able Editor of the .. 1 Rail-Road Journal, would be a sufficient iaduce i ment, if there were no other, for the construe tion of Rail-Roads; but there are- other very strong inducements tor the general in reduction of this mode of intercommunication. It xviil cause the wilderness to disappear, and the arts I to flourish. It will make neighbors and friends J . Cj of those who are now, and without such ihcili-, ties, will ever remain strangers ; and it xviil be : vend all ques ion tend more to die lasting union of these trta es, tiian anv other measure which i, 1 S i'*' has ever noon devised. I Anccilales o? Scots. Os the time of Sir Walter Scott's early ac quaintance, we select a portion of Hogg's amus-i ing account. ‘T remember his riding upon a terribly high i spirited horse, which had the perilous fancy of . leaping every drain, rival t, and ditch, that came in our xvay ; the consequence was, that he wasj i everlastingly bogging himself, while sometimes j; ! the rider kept his seat despite of the animal's j plunging : and, at other times, he w as obliged to ! extricate himself the best way he could. In I ( coming through a place called th-.- Milsey Bog, I I said to him,‘Mr. Scott, that’s maddest deil of a ' beast 1 ever saw. Can ve no gar him *ak a •i wee mat r time 1 He’s just out o* ae lair in il an other wi* ye.’ ‘Ayd said he, ‘heand 1 have been! . iverv often, these two davs past, like the Pedis: i *,, * 1 e xve could stand siraignt up and tie our shoe-inch-'. . . ts.’ ? did not understand the joke, nor do I vet:' .ijbut I think these were his words. We visked ; I the old cashes of Thiriesiane and Tushilaw, and , ; dine! and spent the afternoon, and die night, i ; xvith Mr. Brydon of Crosslee. Sir Walter was •M all the while in the highest good humour, and i seem i to enjoy the mnge of mountain solitude. ■MaMBWMMMimT-iIMiBaMBWaHBIIIIT II ll Ul which we traversed, exceeding: v.

His memory,! i '*r, perhai«, 1 should sav, ids recollection, sur ] .ties that of all men whom 1 ever knew. I saw a jpfeasair instance of it recorded UitGy regarding' j Campbell’s Pleasures o l ' Hope ; but I think I can! ! relate a more exlr&ordinary one. He and Skonej ofßubislaw and I were out one night, ..bout mid-j night, leistering kippers in Txveed, and, on go-' ing to kindle a light at the El li bank March, we! ; found to our inexpressible era f, that our coal had! j gone out. To think of giving up our sport was, lout of .he qucs'ion ; so xve had no other shift save! it" send Rob Fletcher home, all the way dirouglr ' the darkness, the- distance of two miles, for and j otner fi.-ry peat. While Fletcher was absent, i xvx three sat down on a piece of beautiful green [sward, on the brink of the river, and Scott desir ed me to sing him rny ballad of ‘Gilmanscleuch.h j Now, be it remembered, that this ballad had’ j never been ebber primed or penn-.-d. 1 had 1 merely composed it by ro-e; and on finislf ng it j three years before, I had sung it once over to i dir Walter, i began it at his request; but at the I eighth or ninth verse I stuck in it, and could not [get on xvith another line; on which he began it a [second time, and recited it every word from be j ginning to end. It being a very long ballad, I consisting of eight stanzas, I tes iiitcbmy aslon-j jishment. He said that he bad lately been outj | on a pleasure parry on the Forth, and that to! j amuse the company he had recited boili that | i ballad and one of Southey’s (‘The Abbot of Ab-| jerbrothock,’) both cf which ballads he had only heard once from their respective authors; an I he believed he had recited thorn both without mis placing a word. i Robert Fle'cher came at last, and old Laid-! jhuv, of the Peel, with him and into the loam- | i”-V J 'qver we oi..agu:{, in our trail bark, xvith a; [a-.ve eiaznig light, in a tew minute vve came in I (to GhJriy s Weal, the deepest pool in i wexray} I when xve perceived that our boat give evident t symptoms of siukin g. When Scott s ixv the ter- ! ! ror that Peel was in, he laughed till the tears ihh.ided his ex-es. Always the more mischief the better sport tor him ! ‘ i'or God’s sake push her to the side! roared Peel. ‘ Oh, she goes fine !' said Scott;.‘an’ gin the boat were bottomless, | an’ seven miles to row and, by the time he ! had well act out the words, down she went to the | bottom, plunging us all into Tweed over head j and ears. It xvas no sport to me at all; but; ■ that xvas a glorious night for Sir Wid er—and| i the next day was no worse. 1 remember leay-1 | iug Ai:rive Lake once xvith him, accompanied, [by my dear friend William Laidlavv, and Sir'! | Adam Ferguson, to visit the tremendous soli-ii | iu>es of The Grey Mare’s Tail and Loch Skene.; 1 conducted them through that wild region by a j oath, which, if not rode by Cluvers, xvus, I dare j say, never rode by another geudeman. Sir A i dam rode inadvertently into a y-uIF, and got a [sad fright; bu Sir Walter, in the very worst ipa hs, never dismounted, save at Loch Skene, ito take some dinner. We went to Moffat that j night, where xve rn-.t xvith some of his family ; and such a day and night of glee I never v.it i n-'ssed. Our very perils were matter to him of j j infinite merriment; and then there xvas a short-} i tempered boo -boy at tiie inn, x/ho wanted to} I * fc* J j pick a quarrel with him, at xv Inch he laughed till the water ran over his cheeks.” [How melancholy is tiie contrast now 1 Yet, at a penod of life when many men are hardly touched by your age, our immortal country man is scathed and worn out.

Allah Bismilla! ! v What do you see? lllaila Resold Allah! Wlmt t do you S'.-e? All tiie while the smoke curled up' faster and faster. ITesently the lad s .id : “Bis- j 1 milluh! 1 sea a horse—a horseman—l sec two; | horsemen —1 see three—l see sou !j see sex’ea horsemen, and the s venth is a Sul-. T;r.” “Has he a flag?” cries the magician: “He hasthree,” answered ihe ! y, “ ’TTs well,”, o-iv.-j un; uiucr, ~uuTr »..,*« ...—1 , - i , laid his stick right across the fire, and, standing) up, addressed the travellers in these words;—■“) . Name your name—be it of those that are upon; {lie earth, or of those that are beneath ii ; be iF Frank, Moor, Turk or Indian, prince or beggaiqj living and breathing, or resolved into the dust of, Adam, 3000 years ago—speak, and this boy; shall behold and describe. The first name xvas! William Shakspcare. The magician made three, reverences towards the window, xvaved his| wand nine times, sung out something beyond! their interpretation, and at length culled out, “Boy, what do you behold?” “The Sultan alone; j remains,” said the child—“and beside him I see)} I a pale-faced Frank —but no. dressed like these;!? !j Franks —xviih large eyes, a p< kited beard, ata ] 1 1 hat, roses on his shoes, and a short mantle!” TheM i other asked for Francis Arouct de Vollcire, and t , the boy immediately described a lean,old, y 1-j w loxv-faced Frank, with a huge brown wig, a nut-' o. meg-grater profile, spindle shanks, buckled shoes, 1 : c and a gold snuff-box ! Lord Prudhoe now named [ Archdeacon VVymgham, and the Arab boy made e answer, and said, “I perceive a tall grey-haired t Frank, xvith a black silk petticoat, walking in a > garden, xvith a little book in his hand. He is ( j reading on the book—his eyes are bright and 0 ! gleaming —his teeth arc white—he is the hap- ti i piest looking Frank I ever behold.” Major Felix now named a brother of his, who is in tliecav:.]- e try of the East India Company, in ihe presidency j, of Madras. The Magician signed, and the boy a again ansxvered, “ I see a redhaired Frank, xvith r a short red jacket, and xx hire troxvsers. He is a ■J * ' i . 1» standing by the sea-shore, and h .hind him there! is a black m n, in a turban, 10l ing a beautiful 1 p horse richly caparisoned.” “God in Heaven!” | cried Felix. “Nay,” the boy resumed, “this is n an odd Frank—he has turned round while you j 1 are speaking, and, by Allah ! he has but one arm!” Upm this the ajor swooned axx r ay.
