The gallant bearing Of Perry-his daring pas
sage in an open boat through the enemy's fire
TO the Niagara-the motto on the fag-the
manner in which he carried his vessel alone
through the enemy's line, then closed in half
pistol shot-hs laconic account of the victory
in letter to the Secretary of the Navy, WE
HAVE NET THE ENEMY, AND THEY ARE OURS,
furnish endless themes for discussion and .eulo-
gy, and he suddenly found himself in the front
rank Of heroes.
The day after the battle, the funeral Of the
officers of The fleet took place., A little Open
ing on the margin Of tie bay, wild and soli-
tary spot, was selected as the place of inter
ment. Il was beautiful autumnal day, not a
breath of air ruffled the surface of the lake, or
moved the still forest that fringed the lonely
clearing. The sun shone brightly down on
the new made graves, and not a sound dis
tnrbed the Sabbath stiffness that rested on for
est and lake. The fallen officers, each in his
appropriate uniform, were laid on platforms
made TO receive them, ard placed, with their
hands across their breasts, in the. barges. AS
these were rowed gently away, the boats fell
in behind in long procession, and the whole
swept slowly and sadly towards the place Of
burial. The flags dropped mournfully in the
still air, the dirge to which the oars kept time,
rose and fell IN solemn strains over the water,
while minute-guns from The various vessels,
blended with their impressive harmony with
the scene. The day before had been one of
strife and carnage, but those who had closed in
mortal hate, now mourned like band Of broth
ers for their fallen leaders, and gathering to-
gether around the place of burial, gazed last
farewell, and firing one volley over the name
less graves, turned sadly away. There, in
that wild spot, with the sullen waves to sing
their perpetual dirge, they slept the sleep Of
the brave. They had fought gallantly, and it
mattered not TO them the victory or defeat, for
they had gone to that still land where human
strifes are forgotten, and the clangor of battle
never comes.

A LUCKY DREAM.-A correspondent Of the
United States Gazette gives the following curl
Gus account Of the manner in which the mede
Of making round shot was originally discov-
cred. We believe it will be- new to many Of
our readers: My father was q plumber in
this city, and for a long time could think Of
nothing but how TO make round shot. Round
shot was the burthen Of the night as well aS
the day. One night he was awakened by a
blow in the back from my mother, who ex-
claimed, have found out how to make round
shot. l dreamed was going into shop 10
buy the child (mysel0 hat, when, on hearing
Kissing noise proceed from an inner room,
was informed that they were making round
shot; on going in, locked uP, and saw man
pouring melted lead through a sieve at the top
Of the building, which fell into a tub Of water
on the floor, and on taking some Of the shot into
my hand, 4 found they we're perfectly round
NV father exclaimed in ecstasy, You have
found il out" Immediately he set the melt
ing-pot TO work, and on pouring some Of the
lead from the top Of the stairs he found the shot
much ronnder than any which he had before
made. Al daylight he poured some from the
top &C the leading tower in the city, succeeding
much better; and on pouring some from the
shaft of the mine he found that he had obtained
'sround shot"
