From, the National Inleliieeacer

The last Philadelphia papers bring
the sad intelligence OF the death of the
upright, honorable and ohivalrons eff
Ger, Commodore WILLIAM Balm
BRIDGE, of the Navy of the United
States. For several years past attic
ted with a lingering disease, the news
of his death has caused more pain than
surprise. We had been prepared for
it, indeed, by the accounts of the state
Of health in which he had returned
from the Eastern States to Philadc!-
phia, with the obvious desire to breathe
his last in that city. We may be per-
mitted, however, yet to express our
sorrow fox an event which has deprived
the country of onc ofits brightest orna-
ments.
Commodore cambridge was in bis
sixtieth year, and might have been
spared to US for many years to come,
but Cor distressing complaints contract
ed in the service, which finally termin-
ated his valuable life. He was ma
tive OF Princeton, IN New Jersey, and
was born on the 7th day Of May, i774.
At an early age he was apprenticed to
the sea-service, and behaved SO well
that he rose to the command OF a mer-
chant ship at nineteen years Of age.
From that time, 1893, to 1898, he com
manded merchant ships in the trade
from Philadelphia to Europe; during
which period, in the small ship Hope.
with four small carnage guns and nine
men, he had an engagement with a
British schooner offs guns and s. men,
commanded by a Sailing master in the
Navy, and compelled her to strike her
colors, though. the two countries not
being at war. he could not take posses
sion Of her. In July, 1873, he unex-
pectediy, and without any application
on his part, received froa, the eSecu-
tive an offer Of command in the rank
Of Lieutenant. in the Navy. We shall
not pretend to recapitu!atc his subse-
quent services. His capture by the
grounding OF the friga,e Philadelphia,
under his command, in the harbor Of
Tripoli, his long imprisonment, his for

commercial advantages, which have
hitherto been shrouded and kept back
--by the suspension Of the sale OF
public lands-by the retention Of the
Canal land for FACILITATING periodical
vendues; aud BY the d,Iatory and ,imid
action Of the state in accepting the
grant and commencing the canal. But
these restraints are now dissolved By
the spell Of wise legislation, and our
country wears the lively aspect Of
business and general improvement.
The stout hearted pioneer used to
wend his way to the ~beautiful St.
Joseph" either because our land was
not in market or in pursuit Of a country
capable Of being reclaimed from its
wild condition with but little manual
labor. But the emigrant Who could
calculate the great resulting benefits
from certain local advantages, would
halt his caravan in this vicinity--turn
out his herds to browse and fattcn on
the native meadows peculiar to this
country--strike his rural pavilion
commence war of determination IL
gainst the forest-an1vigorously press
forward to the completion Of his task
and then sit down in ease and circum-
stance, in the full fruition Of bounti-
full farm and a home market.
The traveller who visits here. and
loves to raise the veil to recur to the
dim scenes Of other days, will stroll
among the vestiges ofthe old forts, and
in his nominations, will bring the pic
lures of the past to the present. and
say. Here was once heard the sounds
of the martial music and the fierce wild
scream ofthe savage-both tending to
entrance the soul and excite it to hos
tile action; here the young, the brave,
and the chivaIrous, nobly fought blcd
and died in defence Of their country.
These fields were once strewed with
pallid and manglcd forms, with the
dead and the dying; they have now
become garden spots, and bloom will,
vendure for the garner. These waters
that once blushed with the crimson Of
"Harmers army nave now become
clear, and the finny tribe bask IN their
depths. Those hills and hollows that
once echoed with the shout Of victory
and the cry Of despair, now echo the
sound Of the boat horn and the joyful
songs Of the reaper.

SUCCESSFUL COURAGE.

The variations Of a frontier circle,
a. they draw round their evening ire,
often turn upon the exploits Of the
oil race Of men, the heroes Of the past
says, who wore hunting-shirts, and
settled the country. In a boundless
forest full Of panthcrs and bears, and
more dreadful Indians, with not a
white within a hundred miles, "a soli-
tary adventurer penetrates the deep
est wilderness, and begins to make the
strokes OF his axe resound among the
trees. The Indians find him out, am
bush, and imprison him. A more a.
cute and desperate Warrior than
themselves, they wish to adopt him,
and add his strength to their tribe.
He (eigns contcntment, uses the sava-
ge's insinuations, outruns him in the
use ofhis own ways Of management,
but watches his opportunity, and, whe,.
their suspicion is iulled, and they fall
asleep, he springs upon them, kills his
keepers, aud bounds away into un-
known forests, pursued BY them and
their dogs. He leaves them all at
FAULT, subs,sts many days upon berries
and roots, and finally arrives at his lit
tie clearing, and resumes his axe. In
a little palisadc, three or four resolute
men stand "a siege Of hundreds Of assail-
ants, kill many Of them, and mount
calmly on the roof Of their shelter, to
pour water upon the fire which burn
ing arrows have kindIed there, and
achieve the work amidst a shower Of
balls. A thousand instances Of that
stern and unshrinking courage which
had shaken hands with death, Of that
endurance which had detisd all the IN
ventions Of Indian torture, are record
ed Of these wonderful men. he

Indians called into action all their hid
