."ion will see from . Gen.
Clinch s official letter, givim an
account of the battle, that he says
nothing of himself. I was in this
battle, and allow me to say to vou
respecting him what I saw and
know to be true. Throughout the
engagement he was in the hottest
of the fight. His horse was shot
under him in two places, neck and
hip. A ball passed through his
cap, entering the front and pass
ing out at the back part of the
top. Another ball passed through
the sleeve of the bridle arm of his
coat. This was my first battle,
and I may not be the best judge,
but I do not believe that any man
ever displayed more intrepid
courage than Gen. C. did on this
occasion. At one moment a little
confusion occurred among the
troops in consequence of some
soldiers giving the word Retire.
I he ueneral immediately threw
nimseil m Iront ol the men, and

dismounted, advanced to the front,
and amidst a shower of bullets,

he would show his back to the
enemy he would die upon the

bearing of the General kindled
among the men an enthusiasm

Seminole War. The subjoined
brief account of the origin of the
Seminole war. will not be uninter
esting at the present moment:
"The Sermnoies, uy cay
of 1832, agreed to relinquish their
present territory near Tampa
Bay, and at the end of three years,
(no't two years, as is inadvertently
stated in that letter,) to retire to
the prairies of Arkansas. The
treaty bore date the 0th of May,
nd the three years expired in
May last. But as the Indians
showed no great inclination to re
move, it was judged expedient by
the officers to whom the bu siness
oi the removal was intrusted, to
indulge them with six months lon
ger, in which to prepare for their
journey.
by one of the articles of that
treaty it is provided that the Sem
inoles shall surrender to the United
Slates their cattle and horses, of
which they have a considerable
number, and shall be paid for all
they surrender. In conformity
with this provision the Indian A-
gent advertised a sale of Indian
cattle and horses to take place on
the 1st of December, and another
on the 15th; and the Seminoles re
ceived notice to bring in and sur
render their stock according to
the treaty.

Temperance n New Haven'
Alarming Intelligence. After all
the efforts made in that city, and
the recent abortive attempt to
transmute rum into molasses, we
find the following among a num
ber of lugubrious resolutions, pas
sed at a Temperance meeting of
young men in that city last Wed
nesday: "Resolved, That in the opinion
of this meeting, the increase of
Diam-drinking especially among
ihe young in this- city, is cause
for serious alarm on the part of
every friend of the rising genera
tion." We have no doubt in our own
minds that moderate and cautious
use of stimulating drink when re
quired by indisposition, the stale
of the w eather, See. is a much bet
ter remedy for intemperance than
violent efforts to restrain and re
press all consumption of it, or lo
abolish it altogether, and substi
tute total abstinence. Reaction
and concealment are sure to fol
low, and libations deep and long
are taken in secret. There was
a tioloricus Temperance Club of
of Members of Congress at Wash
ington, a few years -ago, who
drink water at dinner, but went to
bed drunk every night.
A Singular Circumstance.
Some time during the year
4 SI 5, Henry Lossley, of Georgia,
the sou of a gentleman of moder
ate circumstances, was married lo
a Miss Mary Lansing, a lady
of some accomplishments
and
few
great personal beauty. A
months after their union, it be
came evident that they would have
to gain support by their actual
labor; and it was certain that in
Georgia ihey could not do more
than to obtain a mere subsistence.
It was thought best that Mr. Lol?
ley should travel into some "new
country, get a piece of land, make
some little improvement on it, and
then return lo carry out his com
panion. Mr. L. travelled to the stale of
Kentucky, and was about contrac
ting for a piece of laud in the
neighborhood of where the town
of H. is now built. He availed
himself of the first opportunity of
writing a few lines to his compan
ion. This leiter never ' reached
the beloved object . for whom it
was intended but fell into the
hands of one, with ' whom Mr.
Lossley, hadbeen a competitor.
An answer came but not of Mrs.
Lossley, but apparently from her
lather, with whom he had left her
during his absence.
"Dfcar Son: Your wife took
sick about a week after your de
parture. At first Ve did not en
tertain fears concerning her; Af
ter some days her brain became
afilcted and she lost her reason,
and while in this situation she
called every person who was in
attendance bu her and came to
see her, 'Henry!' A short time
before her death she came to her
self, and seemed to. have but one
desire to live, which was to see
you! and her last sentence was
loh, my dear Henry! and shall !
see him no more in this life!' and
breathed her last."
On the reception of this leiter,
Mr. Lossley became almost despe
rate. His whole amount of
earthly goods seemed to be cut
off at one stroke. He made sev
eral attempts to answer the leiter,
but found it impossible lo write on
such a painful subject. He be
came a solitary man being in a
land of strangers and had no
person to whom he could unbosom
himself; and though grief is fond
of company, yet he had to share
his alone. - The thought of re-,
turning to the place where he had
so often beheld the fair face and
lovely form of his now lost Mary,
without being able tr see her,, be
could not bear; and having left but
little behind, sa,ve his companion,
that was of any consequence to
uim, ne gave up the idea ol re
turning. Neither had beany dis
position to settle himself: and find
ing that he could sustain his grief
uetler w hen travelling than in any
other way, he joined himself to a
company of fur traders, and shap
ed his course to the Rocky Moun
tains. He passed nealy two
vears anions the North Western
Indians. The hardships he en
dured, the dangers through which
he passed, all had a tendency to
call off his mind from former sor
rows, and by the lime he had re
turned to Missouri, he had in
some degree, obtained his former
cheerfulness. The roll of years
at length wore away his grief, and
finding at last an object on w hich
he could place his affections, he
again married. From' the time
that he left his companion in Geor
gia till lie married his second wile,
it was about five years.
But what shall we say about
Mrs.. Lossley, for, strange to tell,
she yet lived! Weeks, months and
years passed by, but had brought
her no tidings of her husband.
Post offices were examined, but
no letter came. His name was
looked for in the -public prints,
but could not be found. Travel
lers were inquired of, but lo no
avail! Nt a word could she
hear of him. At length she gave
him lip as dead, and conceived of
his death in many ways.
After a lapse of seven long
years and more; after the depar
ture of Mr, Lossley, Mr. Starks
offered his hand in marriage to
Mrs. Lossley; and, as it was firmly
believed he was dead, she accepted.
At this time Mr. Lossley was
living with his second wife in the
state of Missouri, where he con
tinued to live for something like
eighteen years. 'About fourteen
years after his marriage his second
wife died and he was left with
two children, a son and daughter.
The daughter was the eldest and
took charge of her father's house
but in little more than three
years after the death of her mo
ther, she married and moved lo
North Alabama, and her father
and brother went with her.
Iii the meantime Mrs. Starks
had lost her husband and father,
and having but one child, and
that a little daughter, she remov
ed to North Alabama also, to live
with an aged uncle, who was liv
ing in that pari of the country;
so lhat Mr. Lossley and Mrs,
Starks became neighbors; and
' Ihey became acquainted with each
other as Colonel Lossley (this
tille he had obtained when among
the fur.'traders) and Mrs. Staiks:
They formed an attachment for
each otht.r, and Col. Lossley even
tually offered his hand in mar
riage, which she accepted! It is
to be observed that during the
whote of ihtir intercourse they
look great care never lo mention
any c ircumstance connecting itself
with their first marriage, and both
passed as having been married but
oncethey had both been so very
cautious on this subject that the
slightest trace of their former ac
quaintance Was not discovered un
til the night before the marriage
was to have been solemnized.
The night before marriage, as
they were conversing alone, the
Colonel remarked lhat he part
ed to be a little frightened on the "
next evening saying wiih him '
the older the Worse; "for," said
he, "when I married the first time,
1 was not so much embarrassed as
when I married the last!" to which
Mrs. Starks leolied bv suvinc
"You have been married twice it
seems?" The Colonel tried at first
to change the subject of the con
versation, but soon found that
would not do; and Tuiowing it
would have to come out, sooner
or later, he went into a detail of
all the circumstances connprtprt
with his first mariace, giving names
and dates! This was a subject on
which the Colonel was eloouent.
At length, looking upon his inten
ded bride, he saw that she had
taken more than usual interest in
the relation he had been making.
He then broke the silence by say
ing "yu must forgive me for the
kind remembrance I bear for lhe
beloved companion of my youth." .
While he -was-uttering this sen
tence, Mrs. Starks swooned away,
and would have fallen from her -seat
had not lhe Colonel support
ed her. While she lay in this
deathlike state, many were the '
reflections which passed through
the mind of the Colonel. First
supposing that as he had for a
time kept this secret from her, arid1
at last div ulged il without intend
ing to do so, it might hav e a ten
deucy to destroy her confidence
in him, or cause her to fear that his
affections were so much placed -upon
(he memory of his first wife
that it would be impossible for.
him to respect her as he ought;;
these and many oilier thoughts, of"
a like kind rushed through' his.
mind, and he but awaited ihtt pow
er of utterance an "the pari of Mrs;
Starks to hear her renounce him
forever. But, oh! how mistaken
were liis fears! No sooner was she
roused from her swoop than she
threw her arras around his neck,
and resting hem head upon his bo
som, sobbed like a child, crying
out, "Oh my husband." -The
Colonel being much astonished,
inquired rather hastily what she
meaht. With her hands still rest
ing on his shoulderswith a
countenance beaming with joy and -suffused
with tears she exclaimed"
with a half choked utterance, "I
am your long lost Mary! and you '
are my Henry, wUom 1 mourned
as being dead for these twenty
years!"
The joy then became mutual.
That night and the next day were
spent in relating circumstances
which transpired with them dur
ing" their separation, aud admir
ing the Providence that brought
them together. On the next eve
ning those bidden to the marriage "
attended. The parson came, but
there was no service for him to
render. The transported couple
informed the assembly that they
had been lawfully .married up
wards of twenty years before, and .
gave a brief outline of their histo
ry, and entered into lhe hilarity of
the evening with a degree of
cheerfulness unusual to them both,
