zens who had he good fortune to have
been under fire in ",he battle Of Hamp-
den, which occurred during the late
war with Great Britain
The Bounty Land act eff last March.
requires as you are aware, at least four
teen days service. except in the case of
troops actually in battle. On this act
queatlon was raised, whether the
troops under Gen. Blake, concerned in
the engagement at Hampden, were enti-
tied to bounty. their services not having
been Of the required length. The ques-
ton has been argued before the commits
sioner OF pensions, BY your United
States senator, Hon. II. Hamlin, and |
ascertain that decision has been obtain
ed, that the engagement referred to was
battle within the meaning Of the act.
The decision is important to your CON-
munity, and is, l think, clearly correct.
The troops at Hampden were actually
under fire, and the misconduc, in the
case was that of the commander, not OF
the men. They will now receive their
bounty lands. by furnishing the other
proof required by law"

To Americans

Sons of the sires, who, o'er tho sea,
Brought Freedoms pure and holy flame,
And built her temple, where the free
Might dare to worship i'll her name;
Too long, before her alters DID,
Have hearts been dead and honor cold.
Those grey haired men, Of elder days.
Who round these hills and valleys trod,
And made them vocal with the praise
OF hears upright, attuned to God
What burning tears their e.elids steep,
Ii shades ike theirs jcsiic weep.
And they, whose souls Of fire were tried
Where kindred hosts in combat r.eied.
Who turned the battles rolling tide
On many wild and stormy field
If manhood's nobler thoughts be dead,
In vain they fought. IN vain they bled.
Ii treene1 they were were justly styled.
Who only brook no dspots chain,
The savage roaming through his wild.
Or ARAB on his desert plain.
Stamped on the starry rolls Of fame,
Were blended with the heIo's name.
But generous Freedom only lives,
" here Rianly souls are high and true,
And glory's laurelled crown but gives,
Ie public worth It's gnerlon due;
Where ehaplet won, or wreathdecreed,
Are virtues prize and honor's need.
When Roman manhood had become
The memory Of a vanqnished fame,
And round the wreck Of glorys home
Lurkcd bu; the shade OF virtue name,
A wrestler mounted 10 the throne
That Trajan held-;hat Caesar won
For him, at leas, the forms Of power
subserviant 10 his purpose bent.
And fraud might seize the prosperous hour,
An empires falling fortunes lent,
Nor We. the public will proclaim
\ realms disgrace, peoples shame.
But We, your patriot fathers graves
Beneath your feet are fresh and green,
Nor dewy grass or wild-fower waves
Unconscious ofthcir giory's scene;
Nor lime, above their followed bones
Has touched with moss the scelp,ured stones.
Yes lettering forms, amids, you still.
\ ct linger on the brink OF time,
That met the hour of Bunker Hill,
That hailed our hero chief suhli.nc,
When the great name of WASHINGTON
Blazed Ger his country like sun.
But We, whose ears endure the sound
OF names that glory never heard
Know that when slaves in soul are crowned.
Vain is the slavish peoples word
Nor civic wreaths, nor pnbhc state
Can make a fractions ninion great!
Oh, better far, than 50 10 feel
Truth, Honor, Virtue, ALL DREAM
Better the despot's iron heel,
Cnfel, une ray Of Freedom CLEAN.
Thau roam her courts, dispoiIed and bare,
And meet her hooking phantom there
And shall our sun forever set
In nights descending shadows iurlcd
Shall we, whose father sons, forget
Their hope, their promise to the world:
Blot the long record Of their fame.
And veil their glory with our shame;
No by the noble hearts ,ha, bled
For Freedoms world alluring prize
No. by the souls of all the dead
Who call rs from the bending skies
Eternal be the strife 10 save
Our country from dishonor's gryae. q.

4 correspondent of the Journal,
writing from Franconia, n. H., Ang.

amusing accident" that had recently
occurred to a gentleman this city.
The writer says:
"a few days since, as Mr.. *, Good
win, Of Boston, with a party Of friends
vas descending the immense "Silver
Cascade, leading from the ''Flume, !"
he missed rs footing and slid down
the rock about ninety feet, aighting
in a natural pool in the rock. Had
be nor carght hold of bush as he
was sliding. he would have made a
pretty sudden stop, which might have
endangered his limbs. But owing to
The above fact, andthe smooth surface
Of the ledge, worn so by the waters for
ages past. he escaped with little injury.
In his descent he lost his watch and
chain, but they were afterwards found
in the pool. The slide, Thoughts fear
fnl one to attempt, caused no little
laughter from the company, when
they found that Mr.. Goodwin had
simply enjoyed fine slide in mid
summer, and come off with but a thor
ough ducking. The water about here
is exceedingly transparent and very
cold, but owing to Mr.. Tyler's kind
attention, our friend finds himselfquite
as we'll as usual. @
