Only One, and He was a Pirate

A writer in the April number of Blackwood'
Magazine, in speaking Of maratime matters,
says: The Americans have only produced one
naval hero, and he was pirate-Paul Jones'
The writer appears to be serious, and, we dare
say, believes the nonsense which he utters; for
if there is anything that the British public
are badly posted up in, it is the history OF the
battles which have been fought between the
United States and Great Britain. Not an
Englishman in thousand has ever heard of
the battle of New Orleans, although the victory
obtained there by General Jackson, entailed
upon British valor and British discipline one of
the most disgraceful defeats known to civilized
warfare .Lundys Lane Fort Erie and
'Plattsburgh,' are also places which the memo
ry of John Bull viii very seldom plead guilty
to. Of our naval victories he is still more OBJ
tuse. The only commodore he seems to have
any knowledge Of is, as we said before, Paul
Jones-while the only sea fight which figures
conspicuously in his history of the war OF
1872, is that which took place between the
Chesapeake and the Shannon. To this battle
British historians have devoted not only whole
chapters, but whole books, while the victory of
",
graph These facts prove two things. In the
first place, the Importance which they attach to
the CONQUEST of the Chesapeake, shows that the
capture of an American frigate was rarity !;
while the cowardly manner with which they
refer TO the victories of Perry and McDonough,
shows that they were more afraid of truth than
they were of an eRenny, and that it is wiser for
Great Britain to pocket disgrace than to refer
10 it.
To teach writer to coHdease, we know of no
better study than John Bulls history of amer
lean Naval Battles The loss of feet is there
summed up with fewer words than he once re-
corded the conquest of French fishing boat; 4;
while the sinking of fsigate In twenty minutes
is so much of q tgife that it is only referred to
in note.
The writer to which we have already referred
says that 'the Americans have only produced
one naval hero, and he was pirate-Paul Jones'
Let us see how this statement tallies with the
truth
The war broke out in June, 1872. In July,
the Essex, Capt Porter, was attacked by the
British ship ALERT. The first broadsidc from
the Essex frightened the British crew to the
hold, and in eight minutes her flag was struck.
On the 10th of August, the frigate Constitu-
ton, Capt. Hull, in thirty-eight minutes con-
| quered the British frigate Guerrero, Capt. Da-
! cres. The loss to the English in killed and
wounded was ia The Americans were only
| injured to the extent of ID
On the 18th of October, Capt. Jones, in the
sIoop-of-war Wasp, captured the Frolic in forty
I bod
| to contend against much superior force. The
result of the battle was 50 killed on the Frolie
! and only on the Wasp.
The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1851-06-05

GERS, on hill near by, had discovered US, and
were showing their bravery by blowing their
trnmpets and kindling up their watch-fres.-
They made every demonstration of attack, and
we felt almost certain they would not allow US
to leave without giving battle; and therefore,
