exhibited in those times:

OF DE Lancey's first battalion, with one hundred
men, british regulars,) was posted on the Ogee.

about in various directions and giving orders in a
loud and percmptory voice, as if performing the
duties of staff TO a large army. French giving
full credit 10 the opinion of the reality of wha, he

that lllle stratagem would be necessary i'm order
to preserve the prisoners from massacre, by the in
Jured and revengeiul Americans; aud therefore
suggested the plan ofplacing them under the con-

the Newark Daily Advertiser thus describes a
new, and certainly very curious clock
The clock, apart from the ornamental work, is
simply Ibis: An Arrow, the stem of which is n
solid glass rod !; The barb or head Of which is of
brass and also solid the feather end ofthe Arrow
is of the same metal, but is made hollow, and
contains the whole moving power Of the CLOCK,
and is wound up once week This arrow is
fastened by pin in the centre Of its stem into n
glass dial plate on which the figures nre painted,
The arrowhead pointing the hours with perfect
precision and regularity
An inspection of the clock presents to the curl
Gus observer this question how can any move
nent contained in the extreme end of the arrow
and obviously having 10 connection with The
centre on which it turns-operate to cause the
arrow to revove? a remarkable fact which
shows the inpossibIliiy of deception, is that the
arrow may be removed from the dial plate and
laid down, or even carried in the pocket and
when replaced will Immediately return to the cor

Messrs Editors The Congress of these United

Jec' Vi slavery IN various ways and at divers
times; have passed laws respecting fugitive
slaves nave by law established slavery in the
District OF Coluinba; have declared the African
slave trade to be piracy; aud have meddIed with
It in various other ways. Indeed this sub ect bns
in some shape been often presented to Congress
ny slaveho'ders, ana the action of that body
sought. And of late the principle, that Congress
have right to regulate the slave trade between
the states, has been asserted by Mr. Wcklfe in his
dispute with Mr.. Clay about the law in Kentucky
respecting the introduction of slaves into that
state Hence we must consider the point settled,
that Congress have some kind of power over
slavery. And the South have been very willing
for their interest. Is it not then perfectly clear.
that Congress have right to put down slavery

Capt. Charles w. Morgan. There was no bra
yer or worthier man among the nine officers who
were recently presented with swords of honor, by
the State of Virginia, than Capt. Charles w. Nor
gan OF the United States Navy. We recollect an
anecdote OF his gaIlantry during the late war, re-
lated 10 us by friend, and which we believe is
not generally known.
AT tho commencement of the war the now sill
ver-halred veteran was n gay young mitlshpman,
attached 10 the Constitution, and was on board
that ship in the ce ebrated action with the Guer-
riere. On that memorable occasion lie performed
an act OF most heroic daring. Soon after The
com mencement of the battle, both vessels became
env ,loped in heavy cloud of smoke, from the
ince ssant canonade so that it was impossible to
distinguish either from the deck OF the other At
this period young Morgan respectfully suggested
to Com. Hull that Il man should he sent aloit,
where the smoke was not so densey packed IN
order 10 ascertain the position OF the Guerrero,
and direct the men how to point the guns. Ehe
Commodore declined 10 send any man on ser
vice so desperate Young Morgan Immediately
volunteered ran up the shrouds, and in few mo-
ments was directing the men ut The guns, from a.
midst a shower Of balls His clothes were cut in
half dozen places, and he received one TWO
slight wounds while in this perilous POSITION
When the British irigate surrendered, her com
inander inquired OF Com. Hull, whether that was
Il real man who haG been stationed in the shrouds
of the Constitution. 'Yes,' was the reply, why
do you ask p Because said Dacres 1--WE have
been firing at him this half hour; he must have Il
| charmed life"-Iimes and Star.
| "A sword was voted Capt. Morgan last winter
by the Legislature of Virginia, and the Captain was
anxious to be present at Richmond to receive it.
For this purpose he asked leave of absence for
Two or three days. The laie Secretiry of the Ma
| Wy refused Leave. Capt. Morgan happened not to

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOY.
BY JESSE E. DOW.

BY JESSE E. DOW.
Ho! give me my fathers silent gun
Baptized in the blood of Lexington:
And over my youthful bosom fling
His powder horn with its crimson string,
And spread around me his blanket warm,
That may battle the winters storm:
So bless me, mother, with tears ofjoy,
For am wild Green Mountain boy.
The hills that smile in the morning beam,
And echo the eagles matin scream;
The shady rivers that howl along
Like the gusty tide ofa drinking song;
The pensive vale, and the laughing lea,
That came through the Revolution free:
They wait 10 echo my shout of joy,
For am wild Green Mountain Boy.
Oh tell me not that the South forget
The breast that leaped to the bnyonet,
When Eutaw mingled her fountains flood
With the crimson Tide Of New England blood
And the soldier droop'l mid the tangled vines
And found grave in the Carolines;
Oh, she'll receive me with shouts of Joy,
For am wild Green Mountain Boy.
My grandsire stood, with his mounlaineers,
BY the sunny wales of the cavaliers,
And gaiher'd amid the sylvan glen,
10 the wild halo of Marion men,
And listen'd to Sumprer's rifles ring
And bath'd his temples in Jnsper's spring:
The rafting bullets he heard with joy,
For he was n wild Green Mountain Boy.
Iio ye who boast meath southern sun,
Have ye greater than Bennington
o. sleep your fnthers in glory now
Above the head upon Bunker's brow?
Your martial spirits in days gone by,
Knew how the men of the North could die !;
aud the haughtiest sneer cannot destroy
The fame Of the wild Green Mountain Bow
My heart in its morning dream aspires
10 reach tho fame of my mountain sires,
To spring to The balIles signal note,
And bid the flag of their glory float;
And would haste from my mountain glen
TO join the children of Marion's men;
And loud the valleys should peal my Joy,
For ! am wild Green Mountain Boy.
