DETERRED ARTICLES. A LEGEND OF LAKE CDAMPLAIN. ; TERRIBLE SUFFERING. l- A reporter of. the New York Times, who was on board the, steamship Atlger on her cruise to relieve the vessels in Hampton Roads, sends to that paper the following-statements of the sun- ; erings of the crew of the ship Samuel Russell: I be bamuel Russell met with heavy gales in the China seas. Her crew have sickened and 4icd, others have lingered from disease, render ing the ship a floating hospital ; four of the crew fell from aloft atone time, from weakness cold and exhaustion, two of them falling over board ana two on deck, one being killed out right, and the other, whose- life was saved, fall ing overboard the next day. Seven were thus lost bv accident and disease, .Three others were attacked by consumption, and the balance i were frost-bitten on the coast so as to unfit them : 1 . ' " ' a . ' i - . a ilor.duty. .

From being a stout, and some what corpulent rish, he has been reduced to half Li- usual size and weight by fasting and .sufferings; otherwise he appears in good health.

In the after part of the house were some four others crippled.

The House in sending t hid Bill to the Post Office Commit tee (ayes 90, no8 87,) is a severe blow, as if it rests there it may not again be reached, at tins period ot the session. The blow doubtless, intended to kill it. Many are the places, scattered oter the face of our beautiful country, whose wild picturesque scenery is worthy or the painter's pencil, or the poeta pen. Some of them which were once celebrated for their rich stories of "legendary iorc,V are now only sought to view their natur al scenery, while the traditions which formerly gave them celebrity, are buried in oblivion. Such is the scene of the following adventurer a romantic glen bounded on the North side, by a high and rocky hill, which stretches itself some distance into the lake, terminating; in a precipice, some thirty feet in height, and once known by the name of "Peaboda Leap." At the time of this adventurer, Timothy Pea body was the only white man that lived within fifty miles of the place, and his was the daring spirit which achieved it. In an attack on one of the frontier settlements, his family had 4II been massacred by the merciless savages, and he had sworn that their death should be reveng ed. The better to accomplish this dread pur pose, he had removed to this solitary place, and constructed the rude-shclter in which he dwelt till the blasts of winter drove him to the homes of his fellow men, again to renew the contest when the Spring had awakened nature into life and beauty. He was a man who possessed much shrewd cunning combined with a thorough knowledge of Indian habits, bv which he had always begfi enabled to avoid the snares of- his tub tie enemies. Often, when they had come with-a party to take him, he escaped their lures and after destroving his hut, on their return homeward, some of their noblest warriors wero pickea off by unerring aim or, on arriving at their town, they learned that one of their swift est hunters had been ambushed' by bim and fallen a victim to his deadly rifle. He had liv ed in this way for several years; and had so of ten baffled them, that they had at last become weary of the pursuit, and for some time had left him unmolested. ! About this time a party of Indians made ,a descent on one of the settlements, and bad tak en three men prisoners, whom they were car rying home to sacrifice, for. the same number '0n the ground. ui tueir men mat uau oceo soot oy 1 eaoouy.- It was-towards the close of the day they passed his abode, most of the party in advance of their prisoners, who, with their hands tied, and es corted by five or six Indians, were almost weari ed out by their long niaich and but just able to crawl alone. He had observed this advance "Night had drawn her sable curtain aixun J the icene " or in orther word, it was dark. The moon shone fitfully through the clouds which almost covered the horizon, only serving occa sionally to render the "darkness visible." The Indians now began to evince manifest signs of impatience for the return of their comrade. They feared that a 'party of whites bad followed them, and taken him prisoner; and at last re solved to go in search of him. The plan overheard by Timothy, was to put the captives into one of the canoes, under, the care of five of their number, who wera to secrete themselves, in caso of an attack, massacre the prisoners, and then go to the assistance of their brethren. As soon as the main body had started, Pea body cautiously crept from his hiding place to the water, and siidiog in feet foremost, moved along on bis back his face just above th surface to the canoe which contained the rifle of the guard. The priming was quickly removed from these, and their powder boras emptied. He then went to the canoe in which toe cap tives were placed, and gave them notice of their intended rescue ; at the same time warniog them not to show themselves above the gunwale till they were in safety. He next with his In dim knife, separated the thong which held the canoe to the shore, intending to swim off with it, till he had got far enough to avoid observa tion, then get in, and paddle to the nearest place where a landing could be effected. All this was but the work of a moment, and he was slowly moving on from the shore, as yet unob served by the guard who little expected attack from this side. But unfortunately bis rifle had been left behind, and he was resolved not to part with "Old Plumper," as he called it, with out at least one effort to recover it. He imme diate! v gave the captives notice of his intention and directed them to paddle slowly and silently out, and in going past the headland to approach as near as possible, and there await his coming- ' The guard, by this time, bad secreted them selves, and one of the number had chosen the i same place which Timothy himself had previ ously occupied, near which he had left bis old j friend. He had almost got to the spot, when I the Indian discovered the rifle, grasped it, and j springing upon his feet, gave the alarm to his (.companions. iu:cx as tnougot 11m was upon him, seized the rifle, and wrenched it from him with such violence as 10 throw him breathless The rest of the Indians were A Kentnckian in nalU. I A gentleman in this city, attached to "Old Ironsides' during her last cruise, has permitted us to dip in his journal, which is as rich as Cal houn's gold mine. The followiog is peculiar ly fine : We passed three weeks in Malta walling for despatches. Various plans were dovUcd to kill time, and never did .it pass so pleasantly away Fishing, rowing, dinners, wine suppers, &c.t formed our principal amusement and as the har bor was filled with vessels of all cations, an in terchange of courtesies waa kept up until our anchor wis weighed, and "Old Ironsides" again before the breeze. At one of the entertainment given on shore by the officers of a British frigate, the conver sation turned upoa rifle shootiog, which led to an animated discussion, in which our cEeers took a part. "I have often hear J," said the commander of the Thunderer, "that you have fellows in jour country called Kentuckians. who are reckoned great shots with the rifle." , "Yes, sir," replied Lieut N , "their fame is great in that line ; they commence practising very eirly, and in tho course of time become excellent marksmen." "They may be very clever, but I believe we have better shots on board of our veasel." "I d not be'ong to that section of the coun try." observed Lieut.

"Wkat say you then gentlemen, to a shoot ing match to-uiormw morning J Agreed with all our hearts," said the Yan kecs. The ne:t morning the parties met in a beau tiful grove, and placed a target seventy-five yards distant. The hnclish rifle is different from :bc American, the barrel brine shorter and the stock heavier. Six picked men fiom the Thunderer were on the ground all oLwhotn fired. No one, however, cut the paper f the size of a dollar) although several of the balls were close to it.

To stand forth aud boldly confront, him would give the savage an equal chance, and if Tim proved the best shot, the party, on hearing the report of two rifles at oace would be alarmed, and commence a pursuit The chance was therefore two to one against him and he was obliged to contrive a way i to make the Indian fire first.
