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." — A Southern Editor proposes as the best reme dy for bail limes, that every “decent young man should marry a good girl."— JYat.

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; __ M. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.

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. * ''** ,M * ll Hff**' l 111 - -- V |„,| 111 i "1 thought Herrick bad settled Unit Ingcn,” muttered Adtierlml.
