THE PUNISHMENT.

Il parade this morning, sir!"
With these words, grumbled out by
the unyiclding leathern lungs Of my SER
want, was awakened from an agreeable
dream in my barrack-room bed one
morning, about qaarter before eight
o'clock.
'Parade'-I reflected moment;-
Yes said |, { punishment parade

out ofmy window saw that the morn
ing was as gloomy and disagreeable as
the duty we were about to perform -
Curse the punishment!-curse the
crimesH muttered to myself.
was soon shaved, booted and belt
ed. The parade call was beaten, and
III moment was in the barrack yard.
The non-comnissioned officers were
marching their squads to the ground;-
the officers, like myself, were turning
| out; the morning was cold as we'll as
loggy; and there was sullen, melan-
choly expression upon every mans
countcnance, indicative of the relish
they had for punishment parade; the
faces of the officers, as upon all such
occasions, were particularly serious; the
women Of the regiment were to be seen
in silent groups at the barrack windows,
in short, every thing around appealed
TO the heart, and made it sick. Two
soldiers were to receive 800 lashes
each! Ono Of them, u corporal, had, till
now, preserved good character for
many years in the regiment-but he had
been, in the present instance, seduced
into the commission Of serious offences,
by an associate of very bad character.
=, Their crimes, arising doubtless from
habits Of intoxication, were dsobedence
Of orders. insolence to the sergeant on
duty, and the making away with some
of their neccssaries.
The regiment formed on the parade,
and we marched off in few minutes TO
The riding-house, where the triangle as
erected, about which the men formed a
; square, with the colonel, the adju, ant,
the surgnon, and the drumlners in the
| centre.
Attention! roared out the colonel
The word, were it not that it was tech
nically necessary, need not have been
used, for the attention Of oil was most
intense; and scarcely could the foot
steps of the last men, closing in, be fair.
! ly said to have broken the gloomy ST.
lence Of the riding-housc The two
prisoners were now marched into the
centre OF the square, escorted by cor
poral and four men.
sAuentionp was again called, and the
adlutant commanded : TO read the pro.
ceedings OF the court martial. When
had concluded, the colonel commanded
the private to strip
The drummers now approached the
triangle, four in number, and the senior
took up the cat, in order to free the

or.
Strip, sii!' repeated the colonel
having observed that the prisoner seem
ed reluctant TO obey the first order.

tone, 'Pll volunteer"

KENrucKY.-From letter which the edi-
tors OF the National Intel'igencer received on
Friday, from one Of the most respectable and
most honorsd gentlemen in all the State OF
Kentucky. they copy the following extract.
"You may confidently rely on the Electoral
vote Of ofKentucky going in favor of Mr.. ADAMS.
In our State Legislature we have majority OF
ten IN tho House Of Representatives, and three
in the Senate in favour Of the Administration.
These elections turned more exclusively on the
Presidential question, than did the elections 10
Congress. have taken great deal Of pains
10 ascertain what will be our Electoral vote,
and am convinced General jackson will not
got vote in this State"

Ns,o-Hampshire.-ws observe in the pa
pcrs that it is expected an opposition will be
got up to oppose the reelection of Gov Pierce
in New-Hampshire. Hon. IcHABoD BART
LETT, Of Portsmouth, it is said,is to be the op.
posing candidate. Mr.. Bartlett is now men,
Der Of the House Of Representatives Of the
United States, and is one of the ablest men be-
longing 10 the New-England delegation. Gen.
Pierce is one of the few surviving heroes of the
Revolution and has been in public life for the
last twenty years. Both candidates are friends
to the. present administration.

WILLIAM GIBBS HUNT, Esq.--This gen.
tleman is the very able editor of the National
Banner, published at Nashville Tennessee, and
reporter Of the proceedings Of the Tennessee
Legislature. As a faithful reporter. he did not
hesitate to give to the world, the resolutions
Mr.. Brown, instructing the delegation from Ten
nessee. to vote for The impeachment of Mr..
Adams; and for thus doing, he was threatened
with personal violence, by the Herotes. A
fine specimen this is of their modera,ion,- of
their willingness to maintain the freedom of tho
press But Mr.. Hunt was not to be alarmed
by the bravado Of a few gasconading political
madcaps

The following Is from the Kentucky Repo.-
ter, and though it makes not any partcu-
lar appeal to the passions, still as il breathes
sentiments, worthy Of imitation, and example,
~c record it among onr files.
"a LOST SON. Philander Boyce was brought
from kentucky as he believes, to Natchez
about Ia years ago, then about years old. -
He knows nothing of his father but says, that
hisname was John Boyce, or OF his mother but
that hor name was Mary; she was living when
he was taken from her; and had no other child
living.
Philander, snatched from his uffectionate
mother in tender infancy, owes lasting o5liea-
tions to the Female Orphan asylum, which for
many years, afforded him every thing but pa
rents love.
He has now arrived at manhood, and lie
would gladly return to alleviate the casss, and
comfort the dccfiniag years of his mothsr. IL
she bc living. Should she see this, or should it
meet tho eye ola relation. or of friend of the
family, ana should she or they, communicate
tho place Of their residence to him, or the edi-
tor Of the Ariel, Matches, it will be met with
inexpressble joy; and Philander, poor as he is,
will travel to any part ofthe United States to
meet them."
II is 10 be hoped that tho afFectionate son,
will be enabled to discover his parents, if they
are yet living, and that he may long live, to af-
ford to them that comfort and consolation,
which il is in bis power TO yield.
To that most benevolent Of all institutions,
the Orphan Society, has this unfortunate young
man besn solely indebted for his preservation.
Such institutions should be encouraged, and
created in every section Of the country, with
those funds, which are idly cast upon foreign
missionary enterprises

paragraph in the American Statesma that the

POLITICAL SHuFFLING. II .s now assert
cd by the opposition, that the resolutions Of
Mr.. Brown, offered 10 tho Legislature Of Ten
ncssec, instructins the members Of Congress,
from that state, to vote for the mpoa chment
Of Mr.. Adams, was offered by ono Of tho op-
ponents Of General Jackson. This silly story
will not do. The resolution was offered, by a
heated parizan of the Hero, and with his
knowledge, consent, and advice. was offered
to the consideration Of the Legislature. II hav-
ing been discovered that the wild. and mad acts
Of the General produce a reaction, it 10 now
said, that they were gotten up by friend Of
Mr.. Adams. to injure the election of the Ten
nesacean candidate. Such ridiculous nonsense
will not be believed, asd il is tho worst Of
folly, to attempt TO impose il upon the public.

Of the several riders, Messrs Blyth, and Stick

not, and believe that Rhode Islandcn will re-
volt, at the suggestion. But the question,
perhaps. was not fairly tested, before the court
Of which we are speaking. aud we hesitate not
to say, that there are individaais residing in

In deciding, rs Judge Story did. We ran find
no excuse for him; and if we had not too high
an opinion Of the honesty and Independence Of
the man, VIC should suppose, that the hope Of
growing popular among a certain class Of pco-
pie, was his spring to action, but whatever may
have been the motives that indaccd him, VIC
