Tiitr laietVarr BATTLE OF LAKE OHAMPLAIN ANO , PLATTS BCR6 : MACOMB AND MACDONOWH. As Macomb, like Macdonough, is now numbered with the dead, those who take proper interest in the American Army and i T i Navy may be gratified with a brief notice of the brilliant services rendered to their coun try by the forces under their command, at the battles of Plattsburg and Lake Cham, plain. In noticing the events of 1814, HaleTcfera to the drafts of the troops taken from the Cliamplain frontiers for tho pur pose of reinforcing the troops under Brown and Scott, engaged along the Niagara fron tiers. He adds - The mdf?h6f the troops from Plattsburg haying left that post almost defenceless, the enemy determined to attack it by land, at the same time to attempt the destruction of the American flotilla on LakeChnmplaiu. On the 3d of September, Sir George Pro vest, the Governor General of Canada, with an army of 1 4,000 men, most of whom had served in the wars of Europe, entered Iho territories of the United States. As soon as his object was ascertained Briga dier Gen. Macomb, tho commander of Plattsburg, called to his aid tho militia of New York and Vermont, who, with alacri ty and without distinction of party, obeyed the call. On the 6th, the enemy arrived at Platts burg, which is situated near Lake Cham plain, on the northerly bank of the -small river Saranae, On their approachrlhe American troops who were posted on the opposite bank, tore-tip the planks of the bridges, with-' which they formed slight breastworks, and prepared to dispute the passnge of the stream. Several attempts 'to cross it were made by tho enemy, but they were uniformly "defeated. From this time until the 11th, the British army -were employed in erecting, batteries, while the A n&ricfw-forcs-ifere-cvcry Itouc twtgouinU cd by the arrival of volunteers and militia. Early in the morning of that day, the British squadron, commanded by the Com modore Downie, appeared oft" the harbor of Plattsburg, where thatofthcUnited States, Commanded by commodore Macdonough, lay at anchor prepared for battle. The for mer carried ninety-five guns, and was manned with upwards of 1000 men ; the latter carried eighty-six guns, and was manned with 820 men. . At nine o'clock the battle commenced. Seldom has the ocean witnessed a more furious encounter than now took place - on the bosom of this transparent and peaceful lake. At the same moment, the enemy on land began a heavy cannonade upon the American lines, and attempted at different places, to cross the! Saranae. - At a ford above the village the strife was hot and deadly. As often as the enemy advanced into the water,.they received a destructive fire frOm the militia, anA dead bodies float ed down the stream literal! v crimsoned w4tlt blood. ' A1 "M Past eleven, the shout of victory, heard along the American lines, announced the result of the batttle on the Lake. A se cond British squadron had yielded to the powers of tho Americanr-amen. The cry animated to braver decdsTtheir brethren on land. Fainter beca'me the eflbrts .of the enemy. In the 11600 they withdrew Uicir intrencbinents. - In the night they be gan a precipitate retreat, and had fled eight miles befors their departure was known in tho American camp. . Upon the lake, the American loss was 110 ; the British 194, besides prisoners. On land, the American loss was 119 ; that of the Brifish was estimated at 2500. In tho latter number, however; were included more than five hundred British soldiers, who, preferring America to their native country, deserted from jhc retreating army. With these splendid victories closed the campaign of the northern frontier.' When angry, always Count ten before you speak. Singular adventure of JTou. Colter Mr. Bradburyra his travels In the into-1 for of North Americar, relates tho follow: nor ing singular adventure of a man named John Colter :. . "Colter came toSt. Louis in May, '1810, in a small canoe, from the head waters ol Missouri, n distance of 3000 miles which ho traversed in 30 ckvy, I saw him on his arrival, and received from him an ac count of his adventures, after he had epa. rated from Lewis and darkens party ; one of these, for its singularity, I shall relate. On the arrival of the party at tho head walersof jhc MTssouiT, Culler observing an. appearance of abundance of beaver being there, gut permission to remain and hunt fur some time, which lio did in comjxiny with a man named Dixon, who had travcrsl ed the immense tract of country from St. Louis to the head watersN6f the, Missouri alone. s Soon after he separated from Dixon and trapped in company wiiha hunter named Potts ; and aware of the- hostility of tlie Black feet Indians, one of whom had been killed by Lewis, they set their traps at night, nnd took them up early in the morninir, remaining concealed during the day. They were examining their trap early one morning, 111 a creek about six miles from that branch of the Missouri call, ed JtflersonV Fork, and were-, ascending in a canoe, when they suJdely heard a great noise resembling tho trampling of, animals ; but they coulj nut ascertain the fact, as the high perpendicular banks on encMiidoof tho river impeded their view. Qjjter lrnniediatcly-pruntiuiicini it .to-bo-oe-casiftMtfby Indians, and advised nu instant retreat, but was accused of cowardice "by Potts wh Insisted that the noise was -caused by buir.locs, and they proceded on. In a few minutes afterwards, their doubts were removed by a party of Indians making their appearance on both sides of the creek, to the amount of five or six hundred, who, beckoned them to come ashore. As retreat" was now impossible, Colter turned'thc head ofUtecjui"e.a'n ing, an Indian reized the rifle belonging to Potts ; but Colter, who is a remarkably strong man, immediately, retook it and handed it to Potts, who remained in the ca. noe,nnd on receiving it pushed off into the ri ver. He had scarcely quitted the shore, whon an arrow was shot at him, and ho cried out, "Coller, I am wounk:d !" Colter re monstrated with him on the folly of attempt ing to escape, and' urged him to come ashore. Instead of complying, he instant ly levelled his rifle at the' Indian and shot linn dead on the spot. This conduct, situated as he was, may appear to have oee 11 an act 01 maoness, nut it was cjouot less i theeflisctof snddeu but sounds reason, ing, for if he was taken alive, he must have expected to bo tortured lo death, according to. their custom. Ile was instantly pierced with arrows so numerous, that, to use Cd. ter's own'words, "Ae was made a riddle of." They how seized Colter, stripped 'niiVTcntirely naked, and began to consult on the manner he should be put to death.. ley first nclMieu to set him up ns a ma rk .to shooLiii but tlic-diief interfered. nnd seized Jiini by the sh-iuld t, and asked him if. he could run fast ? Cl'er, who had been some time amongst the Ivee-katso or Crow -Indinus, had in a considerable degree acquired thu Black foot l.i ngtiage , jn ml was, also wc.ir acquainted with Lillian customs ; he knew that he had now to run fir his life, with thedreadfu! odds of five nrsix hnn- tl .! 1.1 1 1 i-J ne mereiore cunningly ret.-in-d, that tu was a very bid runner, although he was .con sidered by tho hunters as remarkably swift. The chief now comma iifL-Tthc par ty to remain stationary, and ho kd Colter out on the prairie! three or four hundred yards, and released him, bidding him save himself if he could.- At this instant the horrid war-hoop sounded in the cars of poor Colter, who, urged with the. hope of pre serving life, ran with a speed at which he himself was surprised. He proceeded to. wards JelF-i ton Fork , having to t ra verso a plain six miles in breadth, abounding with the prickly pear, on which he was every in. slant treating with his naked feet. He ran nearly hnlf way across the'plain beforche ventured tolook over his .shoulder, when he perceived that the Indians were very much scattered, and that he had gain, edgruiind.to a considerable distance from the main body ; but one Indian, who car ricd a spcar,iwas not more than one hu'n. dred yards from' him. A faint gleam i f lioe now chercd;tho heart of ' Colter ; he derived confidence from the belief, that es cape -was within the bounds of possibility ; but that was nearly fatal to him, for he ex. erted himself to such a degree, that the blood gushed from hist nostrils, and soon almost covered the fore part of his body. He had now arrived within a mile of the river, when he instantly h'-ard thcappailing sound of footstepV behind him, and every instant expected to feel the spear of his pursuer. ' Again he turned his bend, and saw tKc savage not twenty yards from him. Determined if possible, to avoid-tho expect, ed blow, he suddenly stopped, turned round , and spread out hisv a rms.

Fortunately for him, a Ut ile below this place was au islund, against the upper part of which, a raft of dift timber had lodged. He dived under tho raft, and, after several efforts, got hishend above w'u ter amongst the tiunks of the trees, cover ed ovar with smaller wood ' to tho dentil of several fee t. Scarcely had ho se. curedr himself, when the Indn.arrivetji on the river) screeching and yelling,- ns Colter expressed it, "like so many devils." Thev were frequently on the raft during the day, and were seen through tho chinks by Colter, who was congratulating him self on hia escape, until the idea arose, that they might set the rafton tiro. In horrible suspense he remained unJi! night, when hearing no more of the Indians, hculived under the raft, and swam silently down the riyertoa considerable distance, where he landed, and travelled all night. Ahh ugh happy in having escaped from the Indians, UjI situation was still dreadful he was com- pletely naked, under a burning sun ; the soles of his feet were entirely filled with tin: thorns of the prickly pea nfj he was hungry and had no means of killing game, although he saw abundance round him. and was tit least sevi n days journey from Lisa's Fort, on tho lsiuliorn branch of the Uoche Jaune river. These wero circumstances under .wJiichjjjnljiny ;inJait-an-merifl hunter would have despaired. He arrived at the Fort in seven days ; having Riiluist cd on a Wot much esteemed by tho Indians of the Missouri1, now known by the nutu ralists as pcoralea esculenta. The lioy and .Tlan.

BY MRS. S1COUBNEV. "We are very guilty concerning our brother." When to expunge a foul blot from nntion otchamctcr, the great, tho wrisr, -ttd-e nevoknt combine theirenergies, it becomes not those of humble name; or cbscuro sta tion, to remain indiftercnt. The weakersex, who depend for safety and protection on others, have immense interests at slake, in the morality and purity of the community. Their plea of want of power-cai" scarcely be admitted ns a fair release from responsts j bility, since the moralists, and ieWh idWtgfg ciansof our own day, have asserted, that no evil can' obtain great predominance in he community without tho pcrmksiou of females. The cause of tGmperance, which has al ready wrought such 'wonders', alphas still a giant's work to perform; claims tlieir ear: best co-operation. JMircly they whose au. ties and (acuities are involved in the domeit, tic and metcrnal relutions, should be pecd-i liarly and painfully watchful against every opproach of a sin which desecrates homo's hallowed sanctuary. Wo do not address thoso who have given their hand to tho destroyer who, in tho strung language of inspiration, have "made a covenant with the grave, and with hell are at agreement." Wearesensiblt-thfil scarce ly any agent save the voice of Him who raise! h the dead, is available to break their bondage. But Ihey who with regard to this insiduous poisdnj literally olny iho. pre sent touch not, taste not, handle not, and lsupp7scTTiemseTvlS ill othuf efi'orts arc they therefore absolved t My sisters, if we assent to the pmposi tion that not to prevent sin, when" in our power to do so, is as blamcablc as to have . aided in its perpetration, are we justified in supmeness, while such multitudes arc go ing down to-tho grave with this leprosy in their skirts and in their souls?
