FSOM THE BOSTON STATESMAN. New-Orleans. Din of arms and trumpet's clang IioundbeleagueredOrleans rangi Martial drum and piercing fife Called the patriot soul to life. Fathers from their children turned, Every breast with vengeance burned,4 Aged men, with hearts of steel, Started at tiie tocsin peal; Mothers bade their sons defend New-Orleans till life should end; While the war-horse pranced in pride By the king of river's side. On they come, their banners' fold Bending bright with stripes of gold; ,ed by England's bravest knight; Panting for the coming fight. See their long extended line O'er the dark green prairie shine, While tha horn and kettle-drum, Cannons' roar and bursting bumb, Piercing shout and clang of steel, Dving groan and noisy wheel, Bids Columbia's watchful Chief Hasten to his friends' relief. Now they meet in war array, Clouds of smoke obscure the day, Roar of dread artillery Makes the craven coward flee. Now the flower of England turns, Packenham with anger burns Thoughts of booty or of beauty Cannot make them do their duty. On his lip the order dies, On the plain the warrior lies, O'er him bounds his flying band, Spile of threats or stern command-" Leaving victory and spoil To the children of the soil. Britain's matrons long shall wail When they tell the mournful tale ; Aged men shall drop the tear O'er their first-born's early bier; Orphan child and wretched wife Long shall hate the piercing fife; English Lords shall blush with shame When they speak the Hero's name. Long shall Orleans' battle field Fame in rich profusion yield, To the Chief who saved his land From the spoiler's ruthless hand.

From the Illinois Magazine. IP (inici Boon. Tho following letter, from a venerable and highly respectable citizen of Kentucky, is so interesting that we take the liberty of presenting it to our readers in the state in which it came to our hands, believing that this simple narrative will be more acceptable than any paraphrase of it, that we could inake. I received your letter a few days since, requesting me to state what I knew of Col. P. Boon. When a boy, I knew him. He lived within a mile and a half of my father's, in Culpcper county, Virginia, for two years, and I frequently set up targets for him to shoot at. From thence he moved in North Carolina, and I saw no more of him, until I mcfhim in Kentucky in 17S1. We were frequently together afterwards, and several times in the wood?, surveying in company; and a more agreeable, friendlv comnanion. I have never seen. As to his j 1 stature, I think he was about five feet ten inches high, and well proportioned. His appearance was fine, his manners easy, his mind strong and philosophic, his disposition mild and placid, and his character unimpeachable. A mo;e friendly and hospitable man never lived. I will now inform you what he told me of his first discovery of Kentucky. He said, that himself, his brother, Squire, and a servant boy, came from North Carolina, to take a fall hunt in Powell's valley, having hunted there the year before. He was hunting along the side of the Cumberland mountain, and discovered a gap or low place in the mountain, which he ascended to the top; from whence, he thought, he could see to (he Ohio river. He thought, in his own mind, that it was the most beautiful country in the world. He returned to the camp and informed his brother what he had seen; telling them they must up, and go across tho mountain. They did so, and travelled on to Scagffs creek, where the deer were so plenty, tiiat they soon loaded their seven horses with shaved skins, and he started his brother and the servant boy, back with them to rsorth Carolina, lie told lus brother to bring back to him as many horses as he could get, and he would have their loads ready against he came. He stayed and hunted there, and never saw the face of a man for eisht months to a dav. He de clared that he never enjoyed himself better in his life; he had three dogs that kept his camp while he was hunting; and at night, he would often lie by his fire, and sing every song that he could think of, while the dogs would sit round him, and give as much attention as if they understood every word he was saying. "At the. end of the eight months, his brother and servant boy came to him, with fourteen horses. His brother informed him, tint when he got into North Carolina with his peltry, the Indians had fallen upon the frontiers, and that he had to go, with others, against them. Boon had the packets nearly all ready, and in a dsy or two, they loaded their horses and started for home, They travelled on that day, and until about 10 o'clock the next day, when he saw fpur Indians, with faurhors?s, loaded with beaver fur. fi i, - .i -i i (it v were crns?s:ii?r eacri oirr? nnn aotnn o 7 - ... . pirmy, um tiwy must meet, he cautioned his brother and tho servant bey not to let the Inn:ans b:ive th?ir ouns out ot their hands:

for tk'-y would be sure to make the attempt j of the crew joined in their request, I ordered to got thorn under the pretence of wanting j that their irons should betaken off. For to cxsmir.ft them. The Indians endeavored j several days the duties of the ship were perto get .their guns, but they would not let i formed to my entire satisfaction; but I dis-

them get possession of them. The Indians then went round Boon's horses, and drove them off with their own. Boon said he looked after them awhile, and then put off for home. They went on that day, and the next, until nine or ten o'clock; he then observed to his brother and the boy, that if they would stick to him, he would follow them to their towns, but he would have his skins and horses back. They agreed to it, and pursued hard after them, and came in sight of them the fourth day. "Now" said Boon, "we must trail them on, until they stop to eat." . The Indians at length halted, hoppled their horses, cooked and eat; Boon and his companions watching them the while. He well knew, that having eaten, they would all lay down to sleep except one. They did so; and the one who was on guard, sat on a log, at the head of the others, and Boon and his boys had to creej-.on all-fours, a hundred yards, to get near enough to shoot The Colonel then told his brouier, that he would take for his own mark, the one on the logthat he, the brother, must aim at the one on the right, and the boy at the one on the left; and that when he gave the signal they must fire, and keep loading and shooting, making as much noise and using as many different tones as they could. They fired, and he tilted his man over the log, but the others bore him off. They followed the Indians three quarters of a mile shooting and yelling; then came back, gathered their own horses, and those of the Indians, put on their packs, and the packs of beaver fur, and drove them safe, to his own house in North Carolina. The above is just as he told it to me himself.

From the FrcdcricJcslui'gh Arena. A Talc or the Sea. In the year 18 said Capt. M 'I was bound in a fine stout ship of about 800 tons burthen, from the port of P to Liverpool. The ship had a valuable cargo on board, and about nineteen thousand dollars in specie. I had been prevented, by other business from giving much of my attention to the vessel while loading and equipping for the voyage, but was very particular in my directions to the chief mate in whom I had great confidence, as he had sailed with me for some years, to avoid entering, if possible, any but native American seamen. When we were about to sail he informed me that he had not been able to comply with my directions entirely in this particular; but had shipped wr fnrni frnora no common" rn n n ni;.,n Guernsey, and the other a Frenchman from Britanny. I was pleased, however, with the appearance of the crew generally, and particularly with the foreigners. They were both stout and able-bodied men, and were particularly active and attentive to orders. The passage commenced auspiciously, and promised to be a speedy one, as we took a steady fine westerly wind soon after we left soundings' To my great sorrow and uneasiness, I soon discovered a change in their conduct for the worse. They became iniolent to the mates, and appeared frequently to be under the influence of liquor, and had evidently an undue influence over the rest of the men. Their intemperance soon became intolerable, and as it was evident they had liquor on board with them I determined on searching the forecastle and depriving them of it. An order to this effect was given to the mates, and they were directed to go about its execution mildly and firmly, taking no arms with them, as they were inclined to do, -but to give every birth, chest and locker in the forecastle a thorough examination, and bring aft to the cabin any spirits they might find. It was not without much anxiety that I sent them forward upon this duty. I remained upon the quarter deck myself, ready to go to their aid should it be necessary. In a few moments a loud and angry dispute was succeeded by a sharp scuflle around the forecastle companion-way. The steward at my call, handed my loaded pistols from the cabin, and with them I hastened forward. The Frenchman had grappled the second mate, who was a mere lad, by the throat thrown him across the heel of the bowsprit, and was apparently determined to strangle him to death. The chief mate was calling for assistance from below, where he was assailed by the Guernsey man. The rest of the crew were indifferent spectators, but rather encouraging the foreigners than otherwise, I presented a pistol at the head of the Frenchman, and ordered him to release the second mate, which he instantly did. I then ordered him into the foretop, and the others who were near, into the maintop, none to come down under pain of death, until ordered. The steward by this time brought another pair of pistols, with which I armed the second mate, directing him to remain on deck, and went below into the forecastle myself. I found that the chief mate had been slightly wounded in two places by the knife of his antagonist, who, however, ceased to resist as I made my appearance, and v?e immediately secured him in irons. The search was now made, and a quantity of liquor found and taken to the cabin. The rest of the men were then called down from the tops, and the Frenchman was made the corspanion of his coadjutor's confinement. I then expostulated at some length with the others upon their improper conduct, and upon the readiness which thev had suffered them selves to be drawn into such courses by two rascally foreigners, and expressed hopes that 1 should have no reason for further complaints during tho rest of the voyage. This remonstrance I thought had effect, as they appeared contrite and promised amendment. They were then dismissed, and order was restored. The next day the foreigners strong v so licited pardon, with the most solemn promis ics of future oood conduct: and cs tho rrst

covered in the countenances of the foreigners, expressions of deep and rancorous animosity to the chief mate, who was a prompt energetic seaman, requiring from the sailors at all times, ready and implicit obedience to his orders. A week had passed over in this way when one night, in the mid watch, all hands were called to shorten sail. On ordinary occasions, of this kind, the duty was conducted by the mate, but I now went upon the forecastle. The night was dark and squally, but the sea was not high, and the ship was running off at about nine knots, with the wind on the starboard quarter. The weather being very unpromising, the second reef was taken in the fore and main topsails, the inizen handed, and the fore and mizen topgallant yards sent down. This done, one watch was permitted to go below, and I prepared to betake myself to my birth, directing that the mate to whom I wished to give some orders should be sent to me. To mv

utter astonishment and consternation, word was brought to me after a short time, that he was no where to be found. I hastened upon deck, ordered all hands up again, and questioned every man in the ship upon the subject; but they, with one accord, declared that they had not seen him forward. Lanterns were then brought, and every accessible part of the ship unavailingly searched. I then in the hearing of the whole crew, declared my belief that he must have fallen overboard accidentally, again dismissed one watch below and repaired to the cabin in a state of metal agitation impossible to be described. For, notwithstanding the opinion which I had expressed to the contrary, I could not but entertain a strong suspicion that the unfortunate man had met a violent death. The second mate was a protegee of mine and as I before observed, a very young man, of not much experience as a seaman. I therefore felt that under critical circumstances, my main support had fallen from me. It ?s needless to add, that a deep sense of forlornness and insecurity was the result of these reflections. My first step was to load and deposit in my state room all the firearms on board, amounting to several muskets and four p?ir of pistols. The steward was a faithful mulatto man, who had sailed with me several voyages. To him I communicated my suspicions, and directed him to be constantly on the alert, and should any further difficulty with the crew occur, to repair immediately to my state-room and arm himseJf. His f1 ? nf r 1 10 peerage, but I fur ther directed that he should on the following morning clear cut and occupy one in the cabin near my room. The second mate occupied a small state-room opening into the passage which led from the steerage to the cabin. I called him from the deck, gave him a pair of pistols, with orders to keep them in his birth; and during the night watches on deck, never to go forward of the main mast, but to continue as constantly as possible near the companion way, and call me upon the slightest occasion. After this I laid down in my bed, ordering that I should be called at four o'clock for the morning watch. Only a few moments had elapsed when I heard three or foirr knocks under the counter of the ship, which is that part of the stern immediately after the cabin windows. In a mmute or two they were distinctly repeated. I arose, opened the window and called. Tho mate answered!!! I gave him the end of a rope to assist him up; and never shall I forget the flood of gratitude which the delighted soul poured fourth to that being who had restored him to me uninjured. His story was soon told. He had gone forward upon being ordered by me, after the calling of all hands, and had barely reached the forecastle, when he was seized by the 2 foreigners, and before he could utter more than one cry, which was drowned in the roaring of the winds and waves, ho was thrown over the bow. He was a powerful man and an expert swimmer. The topsails of the ship were clewed down to reef, and her way, of course considerably lessened and in an instant he found an end of a rope, which was accidentally towing overboard, within his grasp, by which he was dragged into the dead water or eddy that is always created under the stern of a vessel, particularly if she is full built and deeply laden; as was the case with this. By a desperate effort he caught one of the rudder chains, which was very low and drew himself by it upon the step or iog of the rudder, where he had suflicient presence of mind to remain without calling out, until the light had ceased to shine through the cabin windows, when he con cluded the search for him was over. He made the signal to me. No one being in the ship, but myself, was apprised of his safety, for the gale had increased and completely drowned the sounds of the knocking, opening the window, &c. before they could reach the quarter deck, and there was no one in the cabin but ourselves, the steward having retired to his birth in the steerage. It was at once resolved that the second mate alone should be informed of his existence. He immediately betook himself to a large vacant s'ate room, and for the remainder of the passage, all his wants attended to by me. Even the steward was allowed to enter the cabin as seldom as possible. Nothing of note occurred during the re mainder of the voyage, which was prosper ous. Jt seemed lhat the foreigners had only become actuated by revenge in tho violence they had committed; for nothing further was attempted by them. In due season we took a pilot in the channel, and in a day or two we c ntered the port of Liverpool, As soon as flie proper arrangements were made we commenced warping the and while engaged' in this rl.In infn rlnr-Lv operation, the mate appeared on deck, went forward and attended to his duties as usual! A scene occurred which is beyond description; everv 1 lealure of it is as vivid m mv imagination

as tho' it occurred yesterday, end will Ic to my latest breath. Tho warp dropped from the paralized hands of the horror stricken sailors, and had it not been taken up by some boatman on board, I should have been compelled to anchor again and procure assistance from the shore. Not a word was uttered, but tho two guilty wretches staggered to the mainmast, where they remained petrified with horror, until the oilicer, who had been sent for, approached to take them into custody. They then seemed in a measure, to be recalled to a sense of their appalling prcdicamcntand uttered the most piercing expressions of lamentation and despair. They were soon tried, and upon tho testimony of the mate, capitally convicted and executed. Proof of being Righteous. A man last winter, or some other time, when the weath

er was trosty, coming out of a tavern a little "blue," lost his footing, and came down plump on the doorstep. Endeavoring to regain his feet, he said "We read that the wicked stand on slippery places. 1 therefore must be one of the righteous, for hang me if 1 can stand at a?." liATJ. DANIEL J.
