THE NARROW ESCAPE.

The following narrative oflacts is pre-
sented to the public, as exhibiting an ex-
traordinary instance of mistaken firmness
and self-possession, or presence ofmnd,
under circumstances of imminent danger,
and Of hair-breadh escape from assassina-
tion. The relation was given by gen
tleman who was the actor in the affair,
soon after its occurrence; and although
years have elapsed since the recital, yet
he scene was so peculiarly wild, and
wildly sketched, that twas indellbIy inn
pressed upon the mind, and we give it a
place in our columns, as a caution 70 trav-
ellers.
Our story has its origin shortly after
the close Of the late war. Col T., OF
the United States Army, who, in the
"Peace Establishment" was attached to
the "Southern DIVISION" had been sta
toned for some months at New-Orleans.
In order to check some hostile movements
among the Indians Of the Mississippi, our
troops were concentrated near the point
Of danger, and Col. T. was ordered by
the War Department, to assume the COM
mand of the Military Post as Nachitoch-
es. He was charged with the convey
ance Of a large sum ofpublic money from
New-O Orleans; ;and having made arrange
ments with a gentleman Of the army at

"THE NARROW ESQ ."-The read
crs Of this paper will hardly have forgot
ten story of thrilling interest, commu-
nicated for publication in this paper a
few weeks since, under the above title.
The principal actor was said in the story,
to have been the late Col. Il. of the Ar
my. An Ohio paper having given the
name Of the adventurer, at full length, il
is no longer improper for US to say, that
the gallant soldier referred to as Col. T.,
was Col. William A. Trimble. At the
time of the occurrence, he was young
man of great worth, possessing good
mind well cultivated, solid judgment,
fine feelings and high sense of honor.
He was brave to desperation, but pru-
dent withal. No man was less disposed
to shrink from danger. Ia the sortie a,
Fort Erie, he was, to all appearances
mortally wounded, a musket ball having
passed through, near the lungs, which
would have been perforated, had they
not, at the instant, been collapsed. The
situation in which he was placed, when
he effected the "Narrow Escape" he
considered as one of the most perilous
and trying of his life. His greatest eff
fort was to preserve an undisturbed ap-
pearance, which he believed he did,
After leaving the army no was elected
to scat in the Senate of the U. States,
from the State of Ohio, in which dignifi-
ed body he served three sessions, and d.
ed Of the effects Of his wound. Ib.

tone asked what was wanting. The Col.
remarked that he did not feel well, and
wished him to get light brought up
After some delay, he got up, drew on his
boots, (leaving his hat, over-coat, Sc.
and requested the man to wait with the
light a few moments at the door. He
left the room, and as soon as he was be-
yond the reflection from the light, direc-
ted his course towards the river. Walk
ing brislsly, he had reached half the dis
tance, when signal of shrill whistle were
heard close in his rear. Finding that he
was pursued, he pushed forward and
gained the embankment Of the river,
where he discovered light from boat
at shore at the distance Of nearly half a
mile.
| The signal was again repeated, and
quickly answered in a direction which
would intercept his course to the boat
He proceeded cautiously, and discover
ed man crossing his path, midway be-
tween him and the boat. Keeping with
in the shadow Of the woods, the Colonel
approached this dangerous point, ,and with
his full speed, succeeded in passing the
robber at the distance of few yards, and
gained the boat. Ere he reached it, the
whistle was heard in quick succession,
and in a few minutes, the dog, fine
spaniel, which the Colonel had seen at
the house, came up to him, and wheeled
back instantly to his master. The boats
crew were soon aroused, and made ac-
quainted withthe facts. They generous
ly offered him protection and assurance
of safety, but were unwilling to return
with the Colonel Immediately to recover
his horse and baggage. Col. T. deem
ed it sufficiently dangerous to attempt it
in the morning. AS soon, however, as
it was light, they proceeded to the house.
The horse was found where he was con-
fined. His baggage had evidently been
thoroughly examined for money, which,
fortunately he had secured about his per-
son. But ofthe motley group who COM
posed the evening party, all were missing
except the old Creole and the Negro
Without explanations being asked or CIV
en- by either party, the Colonel resumed
his journey-the boatmen accompanying
him to the road-and without further ad-
ventures with the robbers, or bandits,
reached Baton Rouge. From thence he
had company to Natchitoches, where he
arrived safely, but with the loss of his fa-
vorite and spirited horse. In an excur-
sion after buffalo, having killed one, he
dismounted, and leaving his horse near
it, he took fright, and dashed off to the
woods; and probably fell into the hands
ofsome fortunate hunter, or party ofstroll-
ing Indians. With this short DEPRESSION,
| will close this narrative, by remarking,
that, to set aside all doubts as to the char
acter of these ruffians, (if, indeed, there
could be any, it is cnly necessary to in
form the reader, that few months sub
sequent to this period, gentleman from
New Orleans was murdered near this es-
tablishment. A thorough search was
made by officers of justice, which led to
the detection of this very band. They
were tried, convicted and executed at N.
Orleans, not more than twelve months
after the narrow escape of Col. II. Il.

CONSISTING Of Anthems, Motetts, Chants,
~ Sentences, &C. original and selected ,most Of
which are short, easy Of performance, and appro-
pirate to the common and various occasions of
public worship; by Lowell Mason, editor Of the
Handel & Haydn Society collection Of church mu-
sic, choral harmony, SC.
The object has been to supply chors, at the
lowest possible cost, with large number Of inter-
esting, easy and useful anthems, and pieces, cal
culated for public worship, for concerts and pri-
vate practice.
A portion Of the work has been devoted TO
chants. There is no singing more simple and tru-
ly devotional than this and it is to be regretted
that its performance should be exceedingly linn
tied. The plan of writing out the Chants to mea-
sured notes, has been adopted to extent prin-
cipally for the reason that it renders the execution
much easier to choirs, unnstructed in this style Of
singing. Could our worshipping assemblages once
be made to feel the effect of chantng il is beev-
ed that il would soon come into use to very con-
siderable extent.
Economy has been an object-t is believed tha,
no similar work extant, affords as much uselu
matter at so reasonable price. 1t comes within
the means Of every choir TO possess i--Price y q
