revolutionary Incident.

One or the regiments in the battle of
Bennington: was COMMANDED by Colo.
uel who when at home was a Deacon
He was calm sedate, determined man,
and went to the battle because he was
impeled by a sense Of duty. His whole
parish was in the regiment, so was his
beloved pastor, without whose presence
and blessing they scarcely thought them
selves in o way to prosper. The Colonel
was ordered by General Stark to rein
force one of the wings, which was suffer
ing severely. He marched at the instant
with his forces; but as slow and compos
eddy as if he had been marching to a con
ference meeting. The officer in command
of the corps to be relieved, fearing thai
he would be compelled to give way, sent
a messenger to hasten the Colonel. . Tell
EN- we're coming" said he and marched
steadily on. A second messenger came,
with the intelligence that the wing was
beginning to fall back. +" Thatll make
room for US. tell 'em we're coming,' re-
piled the Colonel, with unmoved counte
nance an accelerated pace. A third mes
sage reached him, just as his troops
emerged from behind coppice, in full
view Of the enemy, whose balls began tt
whistle about them. "HaltIp colnman
ded the Colonel, form column and at
tend prayers" And there in the face Of
the enemy, did tho regiment pause, while
solemn prayer was offered for their sue
cess in the deadly struggle they were
about to begin. Prayers being ended
the Colonel addressed his men. Sold
iers, said be, our wives and children
are in the rear, the Hessans are in front
give it to them" and that band Of merce
I.naries melted away before these Chris
Etian soldiers, as the hosts of the uncir
cumcised Philistines disappeared before
the victorious armies Of Israel.

Another Letter from Gov. Wise.

Gov. Wise has written still another letter to
somebody, defining his views on the topics
of the day. Concerning our recent state
papers on the naturalization question, he
says:
Already the papers Of our State Depart
ment, blush TO say, are scattered over

mas Of depolism. They are giving false
notes of our country, and l trust they will
be called IN. Let the trumpet give no

As 10 the Slave trade, the Governor re-
fers to some of his correspondence, some
time since published, saying:
You will there see my reasons for say
ing not only that it would be illegal" and
''inexpedient," but immoral and disgrace
