ARNOLD AND ANDRE. During the period of excitemejit occasioned >,v the revolutionary war in North America, it was not to ho supposed that on such a subject as the treason of A mold, or the death of the un fortunate Vndre, information free at once from royalist and revolutionary prejudice could bo procured, either in the mottier country or in her revolted Colonies. After the heats and preju dices of tin; perio 1 have in measure pass ed awav, there are some individuals still living on the hanks of the Hudson, who witnessed the last moments of poor Andre, and do jus‘ice to his memory. As to Arnold, the A mencaa feeling is so strong against him, that thev will not admit ol Ins having been actuated bv any but the most sordid motives; whereas, from all that can be learned of Ids character, it appears to me that his immediate principle ol ac tion was the desire of vengeance; and it is no impossible that at some future period he may as the Zanga or the Coriolanus of some \merican tragedy,to which the death of Andre Would doubtless give a deep and affecting inter est. Arnold was born in the State of Connecticut, au l from the commencement ot hostilities he cammed with ardor in the cause of his country’s n _ ... independence*. Ho soon discovered military ta lents of no mean order, which, joined to undoubt ed personal courage, and the still more desirable qualities of patience and firmness under priva tion and fatigue, had procured for him a high reputation in the ranks of the revolutionary army, eveii before he had an opportunity of perform ing those services in the expedition against Canada, which gave him the confidence ot Con gress, and raised him to the rank of a general oiTicer.—He had boon s vorely wounded before tjudicc, and was still in a state of convales cence, when, in 1775 ? Philadelphia having been evacuated by the Royalist forces, the command of the town was intrusted to him. To the cour age he had exhibited in the presence of the cn emv, it was now found that Arnold did not join that steadiness of principle, or that rectitude ol judgment, which were necessary to enable him ».) resist the numerous seductions by which he was surrounded. Forgetting that he had not the resources of a great private fortune, he ern h irked in all the expensive follies of a sumptu ous table, and a train of useless dependents ; and in the natural course of such an improvi dent career, he was soon involved in debts which he had no means of discharging. In the hope of relieving himself from the clamours of his creditors, he was induced to engage in specula tions inconsistent with the due discharge of his public functions, A* which having for the most part proved unsuccessful, were necessarily followed with the most disastrous results. From unsuccess ful speculation, the wretched Arnold was now driven to the resource of unfaithful management iu theexcreise of his official duties; and when the accounts of his affmmis*ration came to he ex amined by the Commissioners of Congress, a considerable deficit appeared against him, which he was unable to make good. Many ot the citizens of Philadelphia complained of his num erous exactions; the Government of Pennsyl vania brought still more serious accusations against him. and at length, in the month 01 June 177 H, the Congress caused him lo bo arrested, and tried bv a court-martial, who found him guilty, and condemned him to bo reprimanded by the Commander-in-Chief. This decision having been approved of by Congress, was exe cuted in the beginning of 1779. furious at rinding himself thus attacked on all hands, by tlii* law and by public opinion, Arnold indulges himself in the bittores 1 complaints against what he called the ingratitude of his countrymen, ant swore that he would have vengeance. Great importance was then attached to tnc fortress of West-Point, for the preservation ol which the American army had long manonivroc and of cn fought. It was regarded as the key of communication be ween the Eastern am Southern Slates. Its situation in tact on the ridge of on ' of the most considerable eminences 1 u the riel it bank ol the Hudson, with its doublt range of batteries and redoubts, traced as they had been by the ablest engineer, made ar excellent defensive post, the occupation o! which gave a great influence to the State oj New. York. Arnold was not ignorant of it; value, and it was on. this important poiiii tha he cast his eves in preparing for revenge. Bo ;bre he had yet received the appointment w laid he at length obtained through the coiubinet influence of intrigue and importunity, ho hat addressed a letter to Col. Robinson, an oflicci r.i his majesty’s service, announcing that he ha» abjured his revolutionary principles, and- tha be vehemently desired to regain the esteem o his Sovereign by some striking proof of repen tance. This letter soon led to an active cor respondence between Arnold and Sir Henn Clinton, which was of course conducted will the greatest secrecy. Its chief object was t devise the means of throw ing the fortres of West-Point, now under Arnold’s command into the hanffb of the English. Fvr tho pur ii pose of conducting the ncgo’ation with great- I(e-r security. General Clinton intrusted it to one ; of h;s own aides-de-camp, a young man as : distinguished for his amiable qualities as for his i military talents, which had at once conciliated the affections of his brother officers and secured j! for him the respect and esteem of his superiors ||in command. After receiving the necessary instructions from (Jen. Clinton, Major Andre embarked in this enterprise on board the Vulture sloop-of-war, which brought him up the Hudson as far as Kingsferry, about twelve miles below West Point, From Kingsferry his communica | tions with Arnold became frequent and com ; paratively easy ; but before the necessary ar rangemen’s could be finally completed, a per sonal intervew was indispensable, and Major | Andre was repeatedly urged by Arnold to land fur that purpose, before he would consent to it; —fouling, perhaps, secret repugnance to come in immediate contact with a traitor, or entertain ing, it may be, some doubt as to the strict pro priety of penetrating the enemy’s lines —rebels as he no doubt regarded them—under a name and in a character which did not belong to him : the desire, however, to justify the confidence re posed in him by Gen. Clinton, induced him at length to accede to the proposed interview, which was fixed to take place in the house of a reputed ; royalist of the name of Joshua Smith. During the night of the 21st of September, Smith himself came on hoard the Vulture, in a bout rowed by his own domestics, for the purpose of carrying Major Andre to the place of rendezvous. Arnold was in waiting on the bunk to receive them, when they proceeded together to the house of ) Smith, where Major Andre remained concealed during the whole of the following day. At die j conference which then took place, the whole jof the plans for the occupation of West Point ‘were definitively arranged, and on the approach jof night, Major Andre prepared to return on 'board the Vulture, but on reaching the bank, he ■ found that she had been obliged to remove to j some distance, iu order to avoid the lire of a I battery by which she had been threatened, and j the servants of Smith refused iu consequence to | put him on board the sloop. 1 In this emergency, he resolved to hazard a j journey by land to New-York, and having pro j cured a passport from Arnold under the name ! of James Anderson, as a person employed on the j public service, he mounted a horse which was I furnished to him by Smith, he succeeded in pass ring the American lines and in reaching Crom pound, where Smith, after giving instruction as to his farther progress, parted with him. He had j already approached the English lines near Tar ■ rytown, when an American militiaman, who i with two of his comrades had been patrolling between the two armies, suddenly rushed upon him from behind a thicket, and seized his horse by the bridle. When tints taken by surprise, Major Andre seems to have lost his wonted pre sence of mind, or I should rather say, tha' be i ing wholly unaccustomed to disingenuousness or I disguise he could not readily accommodate him self to the part he had undertaken to perform. lln place of presenting the passport with which ! he had been furnished, he asked to which party the militiaman belonged? “To (he party down below” was the ready answer of the American, who thus described in the manner of the period the English army then in possession of New. York. “And 1 also,” imprudently rejoined Ma jor Andre; but scarcely had ho allowed the fa tal avowal to escape him, when the arrival ofthe two other militiamen discovered to him the error he had committed, and the danger to which He had exposed himself. He thought to remedy the one and escape from the other, by offering his purse and gold watch to his captors, and promising them the protection ofthe English Government, and a permanent reward, if they would then al low him to pass. In proportion to the extent of th- sc promises, the three Americans became naturally more persuaded of the value of the | prize they had taken, and immediately procecd ■edto a rigorous examination of the dress and person of their prisoner, in the hope of discover ing information as to his name and quality. Con cealed in his beets, they found exacts plans and descriptions of the fortifications and approaches of West Point, with other writings, sufficient to confirm the suspicions he had himself impru dently excited, ami to determine them to carry ! him to Lieut. Col. Jamieson, at that time in the j command ofthe advanced posts of the Ameri can armv. With the generous purpose of in timating to Arnold that he ought to prepare for I his own safety, Major Andre requested that in telligence should immediately be sent to the com mander of West Point, ofthe arrest of his officer Anderson, on his route to New-York. On the receipt of this information, Arnold, as waste have been expected, immediately took flight, seeking shelter from Gen, Clinton in the ranks 1 ofthe British army. As soon as Major Andre had ascertained that Arnold was in safety, he readily acknowledged { himself to boa British officer. On the return | soon afterwards of General Washington to the j American camp, a court-martial was assembled ■ fur the purpose of trying poor Andre as a spy. |Of this court Gen. Greene sat as president, and j among the members were the Baron de Steuben and the Marquis de Lafayette. It was intimated ’ to the prisoner by the members of the court be fore the commencement of the proceedings, that he was at liberty, if so disposed, to decline giv ing any answer to the questions which should be put to him; but with a much greater solicitude i i for the preservation of his honor than of his life, jhe frankly avowed the nature of the project in : which he had been engaged, and seemed to have ij no other care but that of exculpating those who ’j had seconded his enterprise. His judges were ’ ! deeply affected with the candor and courage he i evinced throughout the trial, and on signing his :! condemnation, they could not conceal the strug ■ j gle between their personal feeling and what they ij conceived to be their duty. As for Andre him- Ij self he expected the fatal issue, and heard itsan- II noimcement with resignation. ■j His last moments were worthy ol his noble 1 character. The following details, are from the t| pen of Doct. Thacher, an eye-witness of the M event: — . •< 2d October, I7SO. —Major Andre no longer ■ lives: I was present at his execution. It was a •'! scene of the deepest interest. During his ini. i|iprisonment and his trial, he discovered mucii >;i dignity of character. The smallest complaint 3 |j was never heard from him; and he appeared tc , I feel very sensibly all the tokens which were • i given of an interest m his fate. He left a mothei AUGUSTA, GA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1833. and two sisters in England, whom he loved af fectionately; he spoke of them with tenderness,; and wrote to Sir Henry Clinton to recommend | them to his personal care. “The officer of the guard who constantly re mained with the prisoner, reported to us, that when they came in the morning to announce toj him the hour of his execution, he did not discover; I‘ he slightest emotion. His countenance, calm and collected, was strikingly contrasted with the sad ness of those around him. Seeing his servant ; enter bathed in (ears, he desired him to with ! draw and no again to show himself but with the i courage of a man. His breakfast was sent to | him every morning from the table of Genera! I Washington. On that morning lie received it ias usual, and ate it with tranquillity. He then I shaved and dressed himself, and having placed his hat on the table, he turned towards the offi cer of the guard, and said to them with an air of gaietv, “ Now, gentlemen, you see that I am ready to follow you.” When the fatal hour had arrived, a strong detachment of troops was placed under arms, and an immense concourse of people was assembled. All our officers were present, with the exception of Gen. Washington and his staff. Melancholy reigned throughout the ranks, and despair was on every countenance. Major Andre came from his prison to the place of punishment between wo non-commissioned officers who held him by the arms- Ihe looks of the multitude were directed to him with in terest. His countenance, full of dignity, an nounced his contempt of death; and a sligh smile would often rise, still more >o embellish his tine coun enance, when he saluted, as he did with politeness, all those whom he reco. razed in the crowd. He had expressed a desire to be shot, regarding that kind of death as more con sistent with military habits and opinions, and o the last moment he believed his wish v, s t • be granted; but when he arrived in front b( he gibbet, he made an involuntary movement, a step backward, and stopped for some first a., a. ‘What is the matter?’ an officer said toh.m.j who was standing by. —‘I am well prepared to; die,’ was his answer, ‘but this method is odious j to me.’ While waiting at the fuo of the gallows, II observed a slight shudder on his countenance, | and tha f he made an effort in his throu r as ii ai-i tempting to swallow, while he placed his toot oni a large stone, and threw his looks, for a mo-1 meat upwards; but soon perceiving that the pre-1 parations wore completed, he stepped lightly in- j to the cart, and observed, as lie proudly raised his head, ‘that it would only be u momentary pang.’ Drawing a white handkerchief from his pocket, lie bandaged his eyes with a firmness,' and tranquillity which penetrated the multitude j with admiration, and which made no* merely ins; servant, but many of those around him burst in-j to tears. When the cord was attached to the;, gibbet, he took off his hat and passed the run-1 niug knot over his head, adjusting it to his neck without the assistance of the executioner. Hej was in this situation, when Col. Scammel ap-| preached, and informed him that if he had any thing to say, he was permitted to speak. He then raised the handkerchief irom his eyes, andj said, ‘I beg you not to forget that I submit my-| self to my fate like a man of courage.’ The cart was then withdrawn, c; ung i m sisjer (e> , and he expired almost immediately. As he had, said ho experienced only a momentary pang. He was dressed in his uniform, and was interred in it at the foot of the gallows, the place of burial being hallowed by the tears of many o >. those who witnessed the close of his career. Thus died Major Andre, in the flower of his | age, the friend of Sir Henry Clinton, and the honor and ornament ofthe British army. It die famous Arnold was capable of entertaining any honorable sentiment his heart must have been broken with grief and shame, when he heard of o the tragical end of the unfortunate Andre. At ter heaping disgrace on himself by accepting service in the ranks of tlie enemies ot his counti'V, lie went after the war to die in England, con temned even by those lor whose benefit he had disgraced himself.” COUNCIL, CMA At a Meeting of the City Council, on the 18 th July, 1832, ri & ESOLVED, that a Committee of Health be ap -7% pointed, consisting of three Members for each Ward, to servo till the first of November next, whose duty it shall be to inspect all the Lots in the City, and; take legal measures for the prompt removal of any nui-' sance prejudicial to the public Health which may be found to exist; and to meet weekly or oftoncr if they shall deem it advisable, and to report at each meeting. to the Mayor, their proceedings under this Resolution— whereupon the following persons were appointed, viz ; For Ward No. I.—Messrs.
