Life Boat. —Wc learn by ’.be N. Y Com;
Advertiser, that several of those valuable boats,
rbich promise to be of great utility in saving the
ves and property of persons wrecked on the
oast, have lately been constructed on an improv ■
d plan, one of which is intended for the Liver
ool packet ship United Stales, and twe for the
teamboat Ncpluue, running between Charleston
ml New York. That for the packet ship is
tus described :—lt is first a boat of common
onstruclion; then on the inside is a layer of
'■M »trong tin tubes lilted with hydrogen, and covered
| with pitch; and inside of these, another boat
| frame and covering of boards. The lubes around
; the gunwale are large, to prevent capsizing. A
boat built in this manner, fifteen feet along and
S’ five feel Wide, will bear up two hundred poisons
if it were possible for so many to get into,
jr and around it. As the buoyancy depends not
on the boat, bat the tubes; the bottom of the boat
ha* largo holes in il.thrdugh which any quanti
fy of water from inside immediately runs out.
The tin tube*, which are fourteen in number,
contain fifty two cubic feet of hydrogen gas,
which it is calculated will buoy up four thousand
pounds of iron when the boat is filled with
water.
Among the experiments made to lest her
buoyancy was that of suspending the boat, bow
downwards, to the yard arm of a vessel and
nuddenly cutting tho ropes. On reaching the
' she sunk only two feet and a half below
the surface, and immediately righted.—The in
surance offices of Philadelphia have ordered three
boats on this principle ,to be constructed, and a
like number has been ordered for Charleston.
The steamboats between Charleston and Wil
mington, N C have each been supplied with one
. of these “hydrogen life boats."

WASHING 1 ON, Fell. 2Gih, 1818.
I lie Senate having on Friday adjourned over
t" Monday, and there being little pro-pert of any '
thing inteicsliug in the House, I accepted an
invitation la dllic With a large parly of the Whigs
of Baltimore on Saturday, who gave a splendid
entertainment to some twenty of their Whig
brethren ofNcw York, who happened to he visit,
ing the monumental city. We expected to have
the presence also of a number of the most distin
guished members of Gongress, who hat! been
invited : But a melancholy affair look [dace in
the course of the day : and, in the slate of excite
ment and solicitude consequent on it, it was
thought more appropriate that they should net
attend this festivity.
I refer to a duel which look place between Mr.
Graves of Kentucky, and Mr. Cili.ev of Maine;
both members of the House of Representatives.;
The circumstances that led to this affair, are these:
Mr. James Watson Webb, Editor of the New
York Courier and Inquirer,sent a message to Mr.
Ciiley, by the hands of Mr. Graves, demanding
an explanation of some remarks he bad used in
debate, which were regarded as personally offen
sive. Mr. Gilley declined to give any explanation,
pleading his irresponsibility, as a member of
Congress.
Mr. Graves requested that this should be put ;
in wri ing. Mr. Ciiley then consulted with iris
friends, and afterwards sent a note to Mr. Graves*
putting Iris refusal on an entirely different ground,
namely, of a personal exception to Mi. Webb.
Mr. Graves demanded an explanation. Mr. Gilley
would not give any, and denied the right to Mr.
I Graves, to make any demand on him for cxplana.
lion. Air. Graves then sent him a challenge .
still, however, suggesting that ire would bo satis,
lied if Mr. Gilley would hot place his refusal on
the ground of personal objections to Mr. Wobo.
The challenge was accepted on Friday evening :
and Mr. Gilley proposed to light the next day ai
twelve o’clock with rijles. These terms were
agreed upon. They fought, however, at 3 o’clock,
in consequence of n difficulty in procuring a rifle
for Mr. Graves. Mr. Wise, attended Mr. Graves
as his second, and Mr. Jones of Wisconsin at
tended Mr. Ciiley. They were placed at a dis
tance of eighty yards. Two shots were exchanged
without clfvct. The friends of Mr. Graves, after
each shot, endeavoured to lerminaie the matter
peacetibij', and urged that if Mr. Gilley would
only put his declining to meet Mr. Webl) on some
ground that would relieve Mr. Graves, they would
be satisfied. But the proposal, lam sony to say,
was not met. At the third fire, Mr. Gilley re
ceived bis adversary's ball and fell dead. The
ball passed, in a diagonal direction, through the
loft iliac region, severed tiro aorta completely,
and came out at the right huubar region.
Mr. Graves, advanced to inquire for tire unfor
tunate man; but before he came up, Ire had ex
pired.
This melancholy event spread great gloom
over lire Metropolis; and especially both houses
of Gongress,
In the Senate, Mr. WILLIAMS of Maine,
offered to-day, a resolution for attending the fu
neral of Mr. Ciiley, at 13 o'clock to-morrow, and
for wearing crape for thirty days.
Mr. FAIRFIELD of Marne, announced lire
melancholy occurrence to the House to-day; and
tire same order was adopted for tire funeral, and
forgoing in mourning, which is usual.
Mr. Gilley was about thirly-six years of age,
and was much esteemed by his political friends.
Mr. Graves did every thing which men of Aon
our would do to avoid the necessity of a hostile
meeting.
Both houses immediately sdjourned after the
announcement of the death of Mr. Gilley.
Tire Whig dinner in Baltimore went off in
great spirit and splendor. A number of excellent
speeches were, and patriotic toasts given. From
tiro manner in which the name of Hknrt Clat
was proposed and received, there could he no
doubt that he was the favori eof the meeting. At
the sitnc lime, there was a great disposition to
submit to the general wishes of tiro Whig parly;

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.
Viiiesu.uk Acuuibit Eundo—(ltgrowsas it
goes.) —lt lias been currently reported up town 1
this morning, that lire Algonquin, at Philadel
phia, brings intelligence of the seizure of all the
American vessels in the British ports, (except 1
the Algonquin of course,) —and was on lire eve
of declaring war!!! Quite a sensation was crea
ted liy this news, in the quarter where it circula
ted. Its correctness may be relied on, —with as
much confidence as nine-tenths of the late Gana- ,
da news was entitled to be relied on. i
At the time we are writing, not a word has :
been received here from the Algonquin, and the
probability is that tire announcement of her being
below Philadelphia was premature.

Pennsylvania Whig papers continue to press

In Indiana, Gen. H. seems to lie the favorite,

AN INDIAN HE NOON I’RE.
BY J. T. IRVINCJ.
It was about minduight. The Excitement
which had attended the brush with [be scout
ing party of Indians had cooled. The sol
diers were stern and watchful. The idea Hint
they should escape scot free had entirely
passed away; hot, notwithstanding tins sense
of peril, drowsiness was creeping over thorn.
Norton Imd not been seen since the watch
was first appointed. He had not lieen en
gaged in the skirmish, nor was he at h s post.
Vague surmises Were offered as to his hue;
and more limit one gloomy shake of the head
announced tears us the worst, when they ware
startled by a cry near the horses.
“Them logons ate at the animals,” said
Adlierbal, starting up and cocking Ins r.fle.
A number of rangers sprang to their feet.
At the same time lieree whoops fuse from
several qnartes, echoed by a screaifl of terror
from the horses, and a cloud of savage figures
flitted among the underwood. One of them
was stopped in full career, by a bullet from
Adherbal’s rifle. Then followed a crashing
of hushes and stamping o! bools. A loud yell
from the Indians drove the frightened horses
to madness. Tiny lore up their stakes and
ran, with wild neighs, one again,t another,
while tiie Indians pressed on with whoops and
cries. Tne horaes grew furious’ Tho woods
rang with their wild neighs. They rushed
together in a dense mass, and stood for a
moment hesitating as to their course. Ad-
Iterbal took advantage ot the pause to shoot,
i They’ve rushed them- Let them that value
their lives take to the trees."
In good lime the advice was given and for
lowed; tor scarcely were the rangers ensconc
ed, before the herd came galloping on. Their
course was like I lie rush of an avalanche.
They leaped tne pros rate fi fids. Thoirown
1 eeigtis and the yells of the pursuers served
i to ncrc.isc their tury, and the ground shook
j under them. They bore down Die encamp
-1 merit, and could be plainly seen in D.e light*
I |.}very evo biazed! The h< reaming bre.tli
d from their nostrils! Every mme
| was erect! Their long tads flaun ed tn the
I air, and tne white foam frothed around their
j inonihv. In a moment they p unged through
I the tir°, am thousands of sparks flew upward,
hi another instant the tent was trampled,
under foot. .1 u. t. umi Adherbal spoke m u
loud clear voice,
‘Wait till lilt; auiruh are past, then give it
to the Ifigcns.”
As the nerd vanished, a cloud of savages
followed in their wake, darling from tice°lo
tree. *
“Pepper their hided” cried the old man.
A doz'll yagers ll islied, and I heir reports were
answered by a single scream.
“One pawnee the loss,” said lie, “Give them
another taste.”
He hud scarcely spoken, when a shower of
arrows were dischnr.ed hy the Indiansi and
one ot the rangers fell forward, pierced
through the hroast.
, Till then Herrick had been inactive, but
the full of the ranger roused him. He started
from his post: and In* voice rang like a trum
el thrdugli the stillness w hich followed the
: discharge. As he siepped out.Adhcrbul caught
[• Ins arm.
i “Keep cool, boy,”said he, “there's nothing
lake calm in logon lights."
H s advice was unheeded, fur Herrick burst
from him, cutlass in hand, and sprang to
| ward the enemy.
! *Fo low* follow! shouted ho, waving his arm
to the rangers, who were advancing with
A rdon.
A cloud of arrows were discharged, and
several p erced his clothe.-; hut he kept on
his course. An Indian sprang at Inn from
, behind a tree, but Herrick drew a pistol mid
"h r>t , min dead.
‘Migllly coo!,’ said Rition; ‘l’ve heard Noiv
(on speak of that young man. When his
blood's up, he’s a devil incarnate. They Buy
too, he heats a charmed life.’
‘ls that the say?' cried Adherbal, who was
not niilinged with superstition. ‘I reckon it
may he true, for 1 never seed a man go so
clear of arrows.’
The rangers obeyed tbe call of Herrick.
Headed hy Arden and Stanton, they poured
on. An arrow struck the latter in the h ail,
anil he fell dead directly before the tire,
‘On ! on !’ shouted Herrick; ‘avenge Stan
ton!’
It needed only this cry to excite them.
The young lieutenant was a favorite with nil:
and their execrations as ihcy rushed hy Ins
corpse, showed the liercc feelings excited hy
his full. At that moment a pile of dry fuel,
collecied to serve for the night, caught tire and
h azed up like n beacon lignt. illuminating the
dark arches of the forest with a red, ghastly
glare. The situation of both parties was re
vealed. The hushes were teeming with dark
warriors; the grum faces and glowing eyes
were peering from behind each tree. In a
moment the rangers were among them; With
their heavy cutlasses.
‘That’s a mighty riilicillfins way of fighting
fligens,” said Adherbal, who, with about H
or 10 hunters, still kept the trees. ‘Tiiere's
3 good lives lost.
Though superior in numbers, the Indians
were beginning to give ground, when a single
whoop rose at some distance in the woods,
ll Was but a solitary voice, but was answered
hy a V -11 °f exultation from the Indians.
Ttiriy HilliSd, mill the new comer, n young
warrior, glaring with pain, dashed through the
thicket and grapp ed Herrick.
That’s Sharalnck, the Hawk Chic*’, said
Adherbal. ‘lf Ostrond’s charmed life ever
stood turn in stead, it is now.’
The contest between the two was hand (o
hand, foot to foot, and breast to breast; Jl
was a trial of strength and activity, for end)
had so zed the armed hand of his opponent,
Herrick soon found that, in sinew, Ins foe was
Ins superior; hut he shrank not from the strug
gle, They pressed each other backward and
forward, at onls thoment bo closely clenched,
that their cheeks touched; the next, they held
each other at hill stretch t*f arm. At length
Herrick stumbled and fell, forcing the Indian
Willi Inin to the ground. The savage ats
templed to rise, and half succeeded; hut Her
rick wreathed his aim around him, and drag
ged him down, when a blow was aimed at Ins
i,end by an Indian. A sudden motion caused
it lo miss and take partial effect upon the
shoulder of Sharutaok. whose struggles it
weakened; end before it con d bo repeated,
the intruding n-vugo was teebd by a
ranger’s cutlass. During the scuffle, both
antagonists hail dropped their weapons and
grasped each other’s throats, fill both were
nearly senseless. While thus exhausted an
Indian rushed forward and dragged the young
Hawk Chief from the fray. Another raised
Ins tomahawk to make a blow at Herrick, but
a rangers weapon raked his arm. Thus fins •
thted, the savage turned furiously upon Ins
new opponent. The Jiidian was a man of
great strength. The ranger was hurled to
the ground, and in another instant had been
fairly sped, had not a bullet stretched the snvs
ago in the dust.
‘That's the Aay to send a hall,’ said Adlier
bal, reloading his rifle. ‘You see, Sip, I did’nt
trouble that fellow with unnecessary pain. I
tried d eadfnl bard to get a shot, at the Young
Hawk while he and Herrick were tusseling,
but I could not without winging Mr. Osirnnd.
I'm afraid that Ingen’s pretty near used him
up.’
As he spoke however, Herrick rose slowly
from the earth- The crowd ol Indians had
grown so dense, that the rangers were com.
pleiely hemmed in. Thorn was but little
chaotic of escape, and they fought with fury
and despair.
‘Monstrous bad! rnonslrus bad!’ muttered
Adherbal, tightening Ins belt and pulling at
hisknife, toset it from the scabbard. ‘I reck
on we’ll have lo charge among them. Send i
them your bndets, then spring out and give j
thof/l vour blades;’
•Stop! said a voice at his elbow.
‘Hu! Norton, see what a fix them rangers |
have got into. They would charge and now ;
they are in a pretty scrape.’
‘Follow me, all!’ said Norton, without rc- |
plying; ‘make no noise.’
With swift caution they made a circuit |
through the forest, approaching the fighting:
party, from the quarter opposite that in which \
thev had formerly been stationed.
Now ’said Norton, ‘give a hurrah and rn-h \
them.’ The words rung to their loud cheer |
‘Forward! forward!’ shouted he. Hold
your (ire till within six paces, then give them |
lead; and take good atm.’
T ie rangers were equally snprised with the '
jndians, at that re nforeernent. A faint ye I i
of defiance bunt from the savages, but was
cut s ort by the discharge of rifles, which j
levelled, each a man,
“I ;ioti vmr guns, and close,” shouted Ail- 1
herbal. Upon this charge most of ihe Indians '
fled; but a few were arrested by the trumpet j
whoop of Sbaratick, who reappeared tin.! j
took his station foremost in the fight.
