THE CAPTURE or Fort DIV QUEsNK.---
we received the following accalnls Of some
| incidents which occurred on the day of the
taking possession of this place, by General
Forbes, from an esteemed friend, to whom it
was related by Captain Craighead, who
commanded company of Provincials on
that day.
On the evening of the Oath of November,
1853, General Forbes encamped 12 miles
from that place. During that day he had
received intelligence that the French COM
mandant was preparing to abandon Fort Du
Quesne. The defeat of General Braddock,
only three years before, was too recent to be
forgotten, and of course operated as a salu-
tary hint to General Forbes, not to advance
rashly. The intelligence, therefore, even if
believed, was not communicated to the troops.
On the morning of the next day, 25th No
vember, 1858, the army advanced from their
encampment---the provincial troops in front,
followed by body of Highlanders.
Upon their arrival at the rising ground;
just beyond where the turnpike gate now
stands, they entered ul'on an Indian race
path, upon each side of which a number Of
stakes with the bark peeled off, were stuck
into the earth, and upon each stake was fixed
the head and kilt of a Highlander, who, had
been killed or taken prisoner at Grants de-
feat. The pi ovincials being front, obtained
the first view of these horrid spectacles,
which it may re ally be believed excited no
very kindly feelings in their breasts, ---They
passed along, however, wthoutsany manfes-
taton of their violent wrath. But as soon as
the Highlanders came IN sight of the re-
mains of their countrymen, slight buzz was
heard in their ranks, which rapidly swelled,
and grew louder ana louder. Exasperated
not only by the barbarous outrages upon
the persons of their unfortunate fellow soldi-
ers who had fallen only few days before,
but maddened by the insult which was con-
vcyed by the exhibition OF the Kits, and
which they we'll understood, as they had
long been nicknamed the ''petticoat warri-
ors'' by the Indians, their wrath knew no
bounds.
| Directly a rapid and violent trampling
was heard, and Immediately the whole
corpse of Highlanders, with their muskets
abandoned and broadswords drawn, rushed
by the provincials, foaming with rage, and
resembling, as Captain Craighead coarsely
expressed it, "mad boars engaged in battle, !"
swearing vengeance and determination upon
the French troops, who had permitted such
outrages. Their march was now hastened-
the whole army moved forward after tho
\ Highlanders, and when they arrived some
where about where the canal now passes. the
Fort was discovered to be in flames, and the
last of the boats, with the flying Frenchmen,
were seen passing down the Ohio by Smoky
Island. Great was the disappointment of
the exasperated Highlanders at the escape
of the French, and their wrath subsidized into
a sullen and relentless desire Of vengeance.

VISIT TO MOUNT VESVlUS.
Extract Of a letter from
MALES, March ID, 1859

NAPLES, WarCn ~, 1857.
Imagine me Just at the bottom of the
crater Of Vesuvius, drawing my breath
with difficulty, not being able to see three
inches before me for smoke, and standing
first on one foot, Il en- on the other, to
avoid burning them, and will tell you
how came there.
We had been here, Is. and myself, for
a fortnight, with but one day on which 1t
did not rain, and becoming impatient, we
resolved, yesterday morning to ascend
the mountain, in spite OF black and
threatening storm; and leaving this place
in a barouche at 9 o'clock, we rode to
Resina, where, to our joy, the sun began
to show his face. Leaving our carriage
you can see us winding up the first part
of the ascent, in the following order, viz:
foremost was your friend S. mounted
on small country horse, looking the
most respectable Of the party. next came
your humble servant on jackass, with
boy, half demon, half human, walking
behind, and occasionally laying on my
Rosinante, with club, with about the
same effect that you would produce on a
stone wall. S. quizzing m c all the time
ON the SOUCT oHNA e'e'SN ~
the above mentioned jackass. Behind,
two Lazzaroni followed, looking very
much as ifthey would assassinate us.
The first mile or two ofthe ascent was
beautiful in the extreme, and comman-
ded fine prospect of Naples and the sur
rounding country; but gradually, as we
approached the hermitage, all vestiges Of
verdure disappeared, and neither man
bird, nor beast was to be seen, but al
around, one immense field of lava, wor
ked up into the widest and most terrific
forms that imagination can conceive, ane
presenting nothing but desolation-'

climb almost perpendicularly, with sand
and gravel to our ankles. After procee-
ding this way for half an hour. we reach
ed the top Of what has, since '22. been the
crater, until within three months, when
new one, about two or three hundred
feet high, was thrown up by the force Of
the mountain. This old crater was three
miles in circumference, and presents at
present only an immense wild waste Of
smoking lava. In the centre of this cra-
ter the new one rises, and we proceeded
latter eating some apples roasted a, the
fire, issuing from some Of the crevices}
to the highest peak OF all.
tits impossible to describe the appear
ance from this point; it seemed the very
entrance of the Internal regions, and
| from mouth ola quarter of mile in
circumference, rushed dense cloud Of
smoke.
My guide began the circuit around the
edge Of this bocba, but found my feet
SO hot, and my breath SO far gone, that
became little alarmed, and asked him il
we had not better stop. You may judge
ofmy surprise, when he proposed going
to the bottom. After tying my handker-

air, down we went on our hands and feet,
through smoke which would not allow
US TO see two steps before us, and we
could only place our hands in one posi-
ton for second, for fear of burning
them, the ground and rocks were so
hot.
After descending about forty feet, the
smoke became less dense, and we were
enabled to proceed with less fear to the
bottom, where we found the stones of
bright yellow. Itappears from my guides
account, that. at the time of an eruption,
there is no bottom, and that it is very
rarely that one can descend as far as we
did, the mountain being at present more
tranquil than it has been for years.
confess l was very glad to reach the top,
with the loss of my boots. and gloves,
both burnt to cinder, while all my but
tons and the collar Of my coat, were of q
deep red from the sulphur.-The descent
from the mountain was very easy, and we
returned home voting tire day to have
