The following account is derived from au.
thentic and reliable sources, and is the only
correct account ever published, being gathered
from the records OF the provincial congress-
Austns life OF Gerry, and the niece OF Col
Gerry, daughter in law OF Col Orne, and the
granddaughter of Col. Lee.
On the 10Th of April, l775, congress then
assembled at Concord, adjourned 10 meet May
10Th at the same place. Two days had hard
~ elapsed before apprehensions OF immediate
danger arose, and on the 18Th of April grew
SO intense, that the delegates were summoned
to return at once. The notice was circulated
with the utmost speed of express messengers
but very few could possibly have received it,
before the British marched to Concord
Among the objects OF this march one was to
seize the persons Of some OF the influential
members OF tue provincial congress, to hold
them as hostages, or send them TO England tor
trial as traitors, and thus to terrify and dismay
their associates and friends
Among others, Col Hancock, Col Orne,
and Mr.. bridge Gerry had been i'm session
on the day proceeding the march of the troops,
in the village OF Menotomy, then part of he
township OF Cambridge, ON the road to Lex
ington. at Wetherby's black -Lorse tavern.
Col. Hancock, Samuel Adams, and some
others went over to Lexington 10 pass the
night while Messrs. Gerry, Lee, and Orne re-
manned at the village. The appearance of
some officers of the royal army who passed
through the village just before dark, attracted
the attention OF these gentlemen, and mes
sage OF warning was at once despatched to
Col. Hancock. or their personal danger they
did not entertain an idea, but retired quietly
to rest without taking the least precautiou.
AS the British advance came into view of
the dwelling-houses, they arose and looked
out OF the windows, and In the bright moon
light saw the glitter OF the bayonets, and
marked the regular march of the disciplined
troops. The front had passed, aud the centre
was opposite the house, when a signal was
given, and an officer and file OF men march.
ed towards it. Then the apprehension of dan
ger first struck them. and they FASTENED to es-
cipe. Rushing down stairs, Col. Gerry in his
perturbation, was about to open the door in
the face of the British, when the apitated land
lord exclaimed, .'For Gods sake, gentlemen.
don't open that door" He then hurried them
out at the back door, into a cornted, where
the old stalks still remained. fastening along,

Every apartment of the house was searched
for the members of the rebel congress-" and
even the beds in which they had lain. Mr.
Gerry's watch was under his pillow, but it was
not disturbed, nor was any of their property
taken. The troops finally left, and the gen
tlemen returned, suffering greatly from cod,

The others lived to render most important
service to their country.
1t is worthy of note that all three of these
gentlemen were natives of Marblehead that
most patriotic, and noble spirited town, and
were connected Sith each other then or after
wards by marriage in their families.

BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
Eighty years have passed, and more
Since under the brave old tree
Our fathers gathered in arms and swore
They would follow the sign their banners bore
And fight till the land was free
Half Of their work was done,
Half is left to do
cambridge, and Concord, and Lexington!
When the battle is fought and won
What shall be told of you?
Hark!-'tis the south wind moans-
Who are the martyrs down.
An tile marrow was true in your children's bones
That sprinked with blood the cursed stones
or the murder haunted town!
What if the storm clouds blow!
What If the green leaves fall?
Better the crashing tcmpests throe
Than the army of worms that gnawed below;
Trample them one aud all!
Then, when the battle is won,
And the land from traitors free,
Our children shall tell OF the strife begun
When Liberty's second April sun
Was bright on our brave old tree!

The Assault on HEr. Van EVyeA.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald gives the following dubious account OF the
assault upon the foul.mouthed Abolitionist, Van
Wyck, brief mention of which appeared in our
telegraphic reports a few days ago:
WAsHrNGroN Feb. %, lS6l.-A most cowardy
and brutal assault was made. ahopt hait-past 1
O'Clock last night, upon Hon. Mr.. Van Wyck, men-
Der Of Congress from the West Point district New
York by three ruifians armed with bowie knives.
Mr.. Van Wyek had just left the residence Of Sena-
tor King, on Capitol Hill, and was passing down by
the north wing of the Capitol to his lodgings, when
8 stout built lnau came up behind him aud struck
him with bowie knife in the breast over the heart.
The knife penetrated the outside and inside coats,
passed through folded copy of the Globe, and
then nearly through o thick memorandum book,
both of which were in the breast pocket OF his
trock coat, not quite reaching the skin.
MIR. Van Wyck struck the man blow under the
law which staggered him, when the second rutliar
struck blow at Mr.. Van Wyck with bowie knile
which the latter caught with his left hand, making
| Il terrible cash across the palm. At the same time
| he (Van Wycl) knocked the fellow down with his
| right hand and instantly drew revolver and shot
the first ruliian, who dropped and was caught BY
| his friends.
The third rultian knocked Mr.. Van Wyck down
with his fist. This blow, together with the effect
of the one he first received and especially from tie
protuse bleeding of his hand, weakened him very
much and observing that the rutiians were making
| haste to escape with their wounded companion
|
self almost exhausted upon the sidewalk and dil
not fire again. But as soon as he gathered SnttI
cient strength he made his way to his hotel, whcl
he did not reach till after twelve this morning. IL
said very little about the affair, except to one
| two confidential friends, DR.. Lee, of the House
who dressed his wound, and to the police, in tn
hope that the parties may be discovered; but NJ
to tonight no trace Of their whereabouts has bee
| asCertanGd.
Mr.. Van Wyck is quite nervous this evening, an
is suffering considerable pain from the wound
his hand, but is in no serious danger.
Mr.. Van Wyek cannot account for this attac
upon him. unless it has grown out Of his speech a
the last session, which created so much eXc!teme1
and discussion because Of its severity against tn
system of slavery, wherein he cited Instances {
slave burning. For some time after its delivery IL
received letters threatening his life Outside {
