From the Democratic Press. “ I took a single captive, and having firft fnut him up in his dun geon, 1 then looked through the twilight of his grated door to take his picture.” A SHORT SKETCH Os Ihe History Os An Impxessei) American Sea man, Written by one who knew his worth, who loved Lis vir tues, and has often wept over his sufferings and his sorrows : It was in the year 1806 thatjAS. Brown, then in the 25th year of his age, who had been rnanied one year, and was the only stay of a widowed mother, feeble, old and poor ; it was, as I well remember, in the spring of 1808, that he em batked at this porr, on board an American (hip, on a voyage to the East Indies. The voyage was profperous.-~He had been permit ted to embark his little all in a ven ture, and as the ship neared the shore he would gaily walk the deck, and on his watch at night calculate all his gains, and often, in the fondnefs of a fervid imagina tion, would he pour his board of wealth into the lap c-f his beloved wife and affeClionate n.other. In such reveries did he often indulge [Numbek 3 1. till his full heart would overflow, and the big tears of joyiul expect ation roll down his manly check. From one of thd'e induigings of the heart he was aroused by I cry from the mast head of “ A sail ! a sail!** The fail proved to be a British frigate. She Lent a gang of ruffians on board, and, in spite of remonstrance, in defiance of right, they dragged p.cor Jemmy Brown more dead than alive into their boat. Ihty with many a bloody lash, compelled him to work and fight their battles He toiled and fought, and trusted that a day would come when he might escape from his task-masters and regain his native land. Once he jumped o verboard, in the hope of finding protection in a neutral country: he reached the shore, but before he could even dry his-clothes he was again in the power of his enslavers. His labor was redoubled, fcotFs, scorns and scourges were multiplied and his manly spirit was finking under burden when the pews reached him that the Uriited States had declared war again ft Great Britain :—“ Then so help me hea ven,” said the captive, “if ever I raise my arm against my country or my countrymen. lam in your power, said he to the British cap tain j “I have been your Have Gr years, and you may dispose of me as you will, but neither pumfhtpen: nor privation shall ever induce me again to work or fight under the flag of the declared enemy of my country.” This declaration was firmly adhered to in defiance of threats a*nd blows. He was at Icntgth landed, as a prifuner of war, in England, that country for which he had f< r fix years been compelled to work and fight ; he was landed without a fiiilling in his pocket,- and, mana cleu like a felon, he was marched to Dartmoor prison, arid there con fined. For moths he lived in jail and the sensibilities of his nature of ten wounded his heart when, he pictured the distress of his wife and the ferjow of his poor old mother, whole ‘age almost precluded the hope of his ever again folding her to his bosom. Sometimes the beams of hope would irradiate his path when he would hear of the victories of his brave countrymen, and he would long to contribute more than his prayers, to their suc cesses. He hoped to be exchanged : one cartel came then another, but as those that were taken in fight were firft exchanged, our poor sailor was ftiil left to sigh in captivity. A.t length a rumor of peace lound its way into the prison ; the rumor was confirmed, the peace Was rati fied, and many a heart in Dart moor prison beat high with joy ; . but none, no not one beat more -tumultuously than did the heart of Brown. His imagination revelled in delight. He (hook hads with all his meifmates. He was to be restored again to freedom, tq his country again to feel the fond, the heart warm jpreffere of a wife’s
