BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.

nhLSs
This day, 18th Of June, completes the
Ash year since the Battle Of Bunker Hill ;
a celebrated epoch in the annals Of our
glorious Revolution, when the sons Of A
merica determined to be tree or perish in
the attempt. The vasssl troops OF Geerge
the 81 with Gage at their head wer9 ut
to enslave US, it being what George had
planned, and what bis corrupt ministry
had been for years endeavorins to accom-
plish-In vain their efforts; although q
young people. "just in the gristle," our
cause was the cause of freemen. The
God Of armies vas with Us, the result was
suspicious, By reference to the accounts
published in the Cambridge, (Mass.) pa
per. Of the battle, it states. That from
sunset on the day Of Battle, until next
morning, wounded regulars we're brought
over in boats to Boston, (then held by
the Bri,ish) to the amount Of at least 500;
that thirty died before they had arrived
at the hospital; that eishty.four officers
were killed and wounded, three of which
were 6eid officers, and that the whole
killed and wounded amounted to thir-.
teen or fourteen hundred. The loss on
our side from one hundred aud fifty 10
two hundred killed and wounded."-
Gage in his official letter to the British
ministry, observes, " The appearance Of
the Americans strength, and the large
columns seen pouring in to their assis-
lance, occa.ioned an application for the
troops to be reinforced with some com.
panies Of light infantry and grenadier..
the whole when in conjunction, making
. body Of something over tive thousand
men, which were landed on the PENN
sula Of Charlestosn without opposition,
under the protection Of some ships ofwar,
armed vessels and boats, by whose FIRE
the Americans were kept within their
works. The loss the Americans sustain.
ed must have been considerable. from the
great numbers they carried Of during the
action. Near one hundred were buried
the. day after, ami thirty found wounded

scHuYLKILL BANK NOTES.

A very extensive scheme Of forgery,
says the Philadelphia Democratic Press.
appears to be in operation as respects the
notes Of the Schuytkill Bank. 1t con.
sists in altering the denomination Of the
Note. lhave now before what vas
five dollar note Of this bank, but which
now appears to be fifty dollar nste.-
Wherever. in the original note. the word
or figure expressing the amount occurred
land 10 the note lying on my desk it &C.
ours no less than six times,) the word or
figure is discharged by some chemical
process, and the figures So or the word
fifty is printed in the place. l say
printed, because it is manifest that the
alterations have been printed on tho note
from copperplate engraved for the pur.
pose.
As these forgeries are executed with
great neatness and accuracy, ard as the
signatures are genuine, and the whole Of
the rest Of the engraving is from the plate
Of the bank, think it q duty to the pub
lie, to caution them, and to point out such
appearances as may distinguish the gen.
uine from the forged notes.
On the face Of the forged note, vherev.
er alterations may have been made, the
paper appears Of q winter hue than any
other part Of the note. On turning over
the note it may be distinctly seen that
wherever the alterations have been made,
there is deeper impression than on any
other part Of the note. There is also an
oily appearance on the back. where the
alterations have been made.

THE MILITIA.
A correspondent, who complains Of the
severity Of the courts martial in ievying
fines, thinks he has q right to know how
the money thus collected is disposed Of.
It is certainly due to every militia man
to have N answer to this question.
The other queries Of our correspondent
we think proper to suppress. We are
not advocates Of military tyranny, BY
any means; bat we 10 believe that If 4
greater severity Of discipline. was enfor-
ced on parade days, our militia corps
would sooner become in reality, (what
they have the name Of being,) the safe
guard Of our country
Our readers are doubtless inpatient for
further accounts Of Gen. Jackson's move
ments; but we have nothing further to
offer them. No direct intelligence has
reached the seat Of government from
Gen. Jackson's head quarters since he
took up the line Of march from st. Marks.
We have thought proper to notice this
absence Of information, to account for
the silence we have observed on the sub.
ject, since announcing, the other day, the
reported capture Of Pensacola. This re.
port reached the city from two different
sources, remote from each other, and
nearer to the scene Of action than to this
city. We have little doubt Of the cor
rectuess OF the fact of Gen J's having en-
tered Pensacola; and it is equally prob
able, if he entered it all, it was by as
sault, as tits not to be supposed the Spas.
ish authorities would have given up so i'm
portant post without at least show Of
resistance.
The motives Of this step General Jack
sons dispatches will disclose. II is pre-
sumed such measure was not in the con-
temptation Of the government, although
it may necessarily have resulted from the
discretion vested in the commanding off.
Ger to take such lawful steps as the safe.
ty Of the frontier might appear to require.
II the Indians in arms against US led the
way to Pensacola, there caa be no doubt
of Gen J.ckson's being justified in fol-
lowing and dislodsing them.

We understand that an express has
arrived at Washington City. with des.
patches from the commandment at Pensa-
cola, to the Spanish Embassy. 1, is ru-
incurred ;-that the dispatches advise the
minister Of the capture Of the town and
fort Of Pensacola by General Jackson -
that il was presumed that War had been
declared by the U. S. against Spain,
and in consequence Of this presumption
the commandment had issued this procla.
lamation. Since the execution Of Ar.
buthnot, &c. particularly since the srri.
val Of the express, the conferences be.
tween the Spanish and British embas.
sizes were more frequent aHd Of longer
duration than heretofore. 1t is believed
that the return Of the President Of the u.
States, is in consequence Of these circum-
stances and conjectures.

patches from Gen. Jackson, in relation
to the storming OF Pensacola. We are
