INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.

The Traitor Boy. AN INCIDENT OF THE REVOLUTION. The writer has been indebted to his friends for ; . e .1 i I I : ...... iL. ....k i many of the incidents which he ha s fiven to the pub-; been kindly turnuc; ana arnonjr those which 'lav ished him, is the following. It cannot fail to interest the reader on more accounts than one. To tee a boy just able to wield the rifle, engaging in the defence of his country during the American Revolution, was no uncommon occurrence. But it was a most extra-: ordinary circumstance to find one, not yet arrived at the age of maturity, fighting on the side of liberty, when his parents and all his relations were zealous i : .: .i. :. ..:.) i aucj active pmriixaus un no wpwnt- un . It may with truth be said that hundreds and thousands took side, during the American Revolution, from accident or incident; while it is not denied that the great mass of the people were actuated by principle in their resistance to tyranny aud oppression. But it would seem that Jordan Montjoy espoused the cause of his country in the same manner that Sir John Fabtaff is alleged to have known Prince Hal, in his encounter with the robbers. It was not reason or reflection which taught him that right and justice were on the side he took, for he was too young to reason or have reflection on the matter. Nor was he overncd in his choice by interest, for this would ave prompted him to have taken the side of his father and relations. He must then have known by instinct that liberty was the true and lawful inherit ance of bis countrymen, and that duty required him to forsake father and mother, and cleave unto it with anient rind insatiable feelings of love. The parents of Jordan Montjoy were lories of the 1 deepest dye, and their ho:se was a place of common rendezvous for the " bloody scout " when in Spartanburgh District. All the meetings of the tories in I that part of the country were held there, and their ! schemes and plans of murder and devastation were there formed and concreted. No whigs ever visited the house through social intercourse, or deemed it prudent so to do under any circumstances, unices with a strong escort. Jordan associated with none but the friends of his father; and seldom saw any of j those who were oppoicd to mm; yet nc ieit a secret partiality for those whom he knew not, and whose principles he never heard mentioned, except with execration! He was thought by his friends to be too young to be of service to them, and was therefore suffered to remain at home in peace and quietude. Their schemes and plans, however, were not concealed from him, and he had free access to all their deliberations and meetings. It was during one of these meetings of the "bloody scout." that he became cognizant of a deep-laid scheme to surprise and capture a company of " librty men," under tlie command of Captain Thomas Farrow, of Laurens District. No sooner had he heard of all their arrangements than he mounted a fleet horse, and put off post-haste to inform the Whigs of their danger and contemplated destruction. Captain Furrow immediately determined to take ad vantage of the üauely warning, and surprise the to nes by an ntrtick that nirht This he did succcssfulit, und turned the scale against the bloody scout . . . . . . . . a , a . ' to the terror and contusion ol their Ir.ends 111 1 Hie ioy became known to the tories, and they threatened lis death on sight. In consequence of their threats and the high displeasure of his parents and relations, he had to leave home forever, and take up his abode in the American camp. He became in n short time one of the most active, enterprising and daring partizans of whom the Whigs could boast. He was always sent out to reconnoitre and spy out the movements of the tories. In one of these adventures near his father's house, he met a company of tories, under a noted leader by the name of Gray. Willi the speed of an arrow he dashed by Gray, tired his pistol in his ftce, and made his escape in safety. For some time during the latter part of the Revolution, young Montjoy belonged to an American garrison on the frontier of Georgia. On one occasion, while there, he volunteered to go with a small detachment, in pursuit of some fad ians, who had bcn stealing some horses in the neighborhood. The detachment was under the command of a Lieutenant, who did not exercise that precaution which is absolutely necessary in the pursuit of Indians. The detachment was surprised and all killed except montjoy and one other. Montjoy did not leave the ground until he had fired his rifle and two pistols, and seen all his comrades, save one, fall side by side. He escaped unhurt, although several balls had passed through his coat and pantaloons. On another occasion while iu the same garrison, the Indians became so troublesome that it was dangerous to venture out at all. It was at the hazard of one's life to go to the crcelc or branch within sight of the fort. There was an old lady in the garrison who had a horse about this time which she could gei no one to ride to water for her. After making ap plication to several, she asked Monljoy if he would j ..re i ounnnj us to risK nis nie in ruling ner nurse to wafer. Without any sort of hesitation, Jordan complied with the old lady's request, took his pistols, mounted his horse; and rode to the creek. While the horse was drinking, lie discovered an Indian slipping from the bushes nearest the fort, and before he could wheel, five savage had his bridle reins in his grasp. Wilh the quickness of thought Jordan drew his pistol and lodged the contents of it in the bosom of his assailant. Such boldness and presence of; mind, such perfect command of himself, under a circumstance so well calculated totrv 1he nerve of a In!. i iiiired for him very deservedly, a high character among his associates in arms. Mny other incidents similar to the above, might 1 related, it is said, of this youthful hero of ihe keioUtlion. Irishisms.

And he made application at a ller's for a " ha' pence icorth of i7er spoons." He said at one time that the buz, (bees) in his own country were every mother's son of 'cm as large at our shape (sheep.) "And how large are your hives?" said a Yankee to him. " Faith and ve come to that iwyi Pat, tlthey are as large as any of yours." "And how many of vour bee can get into one hive!" Mid Jonathan.

"' Qr Modesty adorns virtue, as bashfulness ornaments beauty; it harmonizes wilh a just sense of character, as moderation harmonizes with justice. It heightens dignity of character, as simplicity enhances greatness. It adds to merit the same charms which candor adds to goodness of heart. What is modesty ? Is it not a sense of excellence so deep and true that thc observance of duty appears a natural Useug: Is it not so sincere a desire for what is excellent, that what is wanting is much more perceptible than what is already obtained? Is it not so pure a kr for what is good, lhat it forgets tlie reward reserved for merit in thc approbation of others? Thw Ft"? ec t or K I. td iE t.

Vhe Quaker's Revenge. Obadiah Lawson and Watt Dood were neighbors; that is. thev lived within half a mile of each other,

! and no person lived between their respective farms, which would have joined, had not a little strip of prairie land extended ltselt suthciently to Keep mem Saeparated r . Dood was the oldest settler, ana irom ins youlh had enterta;ned a singular hatred against Quakers. therefore, when he was informed that Law- ; son, a regular disciple of that class of people, had i purchased the next farm to his, he declared he would , make him grlad to move away again. Accordingly, i a system of petty annoyai.ces was commenced by him . aU, eTery time one of LaWs0n's hogs chanced lo s, upon Dood' place, he was beset by men and do&5) aud nWf. saTaP-eiy abused.

I sent the injuries received at the hands of his spiteful j neighbor. But matters were drawing to a crisis; ior ! Dood, more enraged than ever at the quiet of Oba- : diah, made oath that he would do something before long to wake up the spunk of Lawson. Chance fa ored his design. The Quaker had a high-blooded filly, which he had been very careful in raising, and ; v hich was just four years old. Lawson took great pride in this animal, and had refused a large sum of j money for her One evening, a little after sundown, as Walt Dood j was passing around his com field, he discovered the hlly leedmg in the little strip ol prairie laiui uiai separated the two farms, and he conceived the hellish design of throwing off two or three rails of his fence, uiai me horse mitrni gei mio ms com uwunt urn

This story was credited by all but the newly employed hand, who had taken a dislike to Watt, and, from his manner, suspected that something was wronff. He therefore slipped quietly awav from the muse, ami going through tho field in the direction ol the shot, he suddenly came upon Lawson 's tiliY, i ! stretched upon the earth, with a bullet hole throusrh ; the head, from which the warm blood was still oozThe animal was warm, and could not have been killed an hour. He hastened back to the dwelling of i Dood, who met him in the y ard, and demanded, some what roughlv, where he had been.

Dood bit his lip, heiilateu a moment, and then turning, walked into the house. A couple of days passed by, and the morning of the third one hail broken, as ihe hired man met friend Lawson, riding in search of his filly.

Watt Dood had a Durham heifer, for which he had paid a heavy price, and upon which he counted to make great gains. One morning, just as Obadiah was sitting down, his eldest son came in with the information that neighbor Dood's heifer had broken down the fence, entered the yard, and after eating most of the cabbages, had trampled the well made beds and the vegetables they contained, oul of all shape a mischief impossible to repair. " And what did thee do with her Jacob? asked Obadiah. quietly ! i I " I put her in the farm-yard." " Dd thee beat her:" " I r.evcr struck her a blow." " Right, Jacob, right; sit down lo thy breakfast, and when done eating 1 will atlend to the heifer." Shortly after he had finished his repast, Lawson mounted a horse, and rode over to Pood's, who was sitting under the porch in front of his house, and who, as he beheld the Quaker dismount supposed he was coming to demand pay for his filly, and secretly swore he would have to law lor it if he did. Good mortiino- neiglibor Dood ; how is thy famla S I 1 a 1 a A I ily?" exclaimed Obadiah, as he mounted the steps and seated himself in a chair. " All well, I believe,,' was the reply. " I liave a small affair to settle with you this morning, and I came rather early." " So I suppose," prowled Watt. " This mornintx my son found thy Durham heifer a a a .a ta 1 jejj in my tranlen, where sue has aesirovcu a rooa "And what did he do with her?" demanded Dood, his brow darkening. " What would thee have done wilh her, had she been my heifer in thy srarden." asKed Obadiah. " I'd shot her!" retorted Watt, madly, " as I suppose you have done ; but we are only even now. Heifer for filly is only 'tit for tat." "Neighbor Dood, thou knowest me not, if thou thinkest I would harm a hair of thy heifer's back. She is in my farm-yard, and not even a blow has been struck her, where thee can get her at any time. 1 know thee shot my filly; but Ihe evil one prompted

Ohadiah rose f rom his chair, anil was about to de scend th stens, when he was stopped by Walt, who hastily asked, " What was your filly worth? " A hundred dollars is what 1 asked lor her," i replied Obadiah. ' Wait a moment!' and Dood rushed into the house, from whence he soon returned, holding some rrlil inhii Ii-jioI " Iloro'! tho i.rire nf vnlir ft 1 1 V "d hereafter let thr.e be a pleasantness between " Willingly, heartily ."answered Lawson, grasping the proffered hand of the other; "let there be peace between us."

Cincinnati Columbian. Talk nbont Talkers. Good talkers are about as rare as the black swan of the Roman proverb. Great talkers are abundant common as lying among lawyers, perjury anions smugtrlers, or extortion among cabmen. But a good talker is a different thins:. In thc first place crrammar must be unexceptionable though too much nicety of phrase is worse than occasional carelessness. Secondly, he talks on proper subjects, at suitable tunes and places. 1 hirdly, he talks in a low tone, and nil Iii---! us uiiaC v, ci i in, apiiji ji Iii 1 1 : i 1 1 ri u is not important to a good talker, though a spice of humor is, and good sense is indispensible. Adaptation , lo persons and occasions is a great point, and the 1 want of it a glaring defect in many otherwise cood talkers. They discourse very eloquently of books to ignoramuses, of balls to devotees, of philosophy to WHii' it. and of science to sailors. They talk politics at thc opera, describe a funeral at a pic nic, and crack jokes on hemp before people who have lost relations by hanging. To editors they offer improve- I mcnts in the art of conducting a newspaper to ministers (unsuspectingly) diatribes on the immortality of the clergy, and to lawyers (but that is not much amiss) excellent homilies on thc knavery of the bar. To talk Well needs more than a ready wit and a nimble tongue. Boston Post. Tiie Last Ya.xkeeism to Make Mojtet. A lady passing through New Hampshire, observed the following notice on a board: " Horses taken into grass- Long tails 3s. 6d; short tails 2s." The lady asked the owner of the land the reason for the difference of price. He answered, " You see, ma'am, th long tails ean brush away the flies; but Ike short tails ore so tormented by them that thy can hardly eat at nil." 07" Persons who are not faithful to their employers, will seldom do well for themselves, and are nut fit to do business for themselves nor anyone else. Bovs should therefore seek to do well by their em plovers, and they will themselves be gainers in the end. He who has no friends and no enemy is one of the vulgar, without talents, power or energy.

A Mississippi Electioaeerer. The Xorth Mississippi Union gives the Following sketch of a speech delivered at Jacinto, in that State, by D. K. RrsiEL, i candidate tor State Auditor. The Memphis Enquirer says it is a capital sketch, though not up to the original: Ladies asdGestlejies : I rise but there's no use of telling you that, you know 1 am tip as well as I do. I am a modest man very but I have never lost a picayune by it in my life being a scarce commodity among candidates, I thought I would mention it, for fear if I didn't you never would hear of it. Candidates are generally considered as nuisance, but they are not, they are the politest men in the world, shake you by the hand, ask bow's your family, what's the prospect for crops, &c, and I am the politest man there is in the State. Davy Crockett says, the politest man he ever saw, when he asked a man to drink, turned his back so that he might drink as much as he pleased. I beat that all hollow; I give a man a chance to drink twice if he wishes, for I not only turn around, but shut my eys. I am not only the politest man but the besteleclioneerer you ought to see me shaking hands with the variations.

Fellow-citizens I was born if I liadn't been I would'nt have been a candidate, but I am going to tell you where t was not in Mississippi, but 't was on the 'right side of the negro line ; yet that's no compliment, as the negroes are mostly born on the - . . . - - - but that I have held my own remarkably well.

I will allow that Swan is the best Auditor in the State; that is, till I am elected thm perhaps it 's not proper for me 10 say anything more, yet as an honest man, 1 aui bound to say that I believe it 's a grievous sin to mde anvthinp from mv fellow-citizens, therefore say that it's my private opinion, publicly expressed, that I'll m the bst Auditor over in the I nitcn btntcs. It is not for honor I wish lo be Auditor, lor in my own county I was offered an office that was all hon or Coroner, which I respectfullv declined. The uditor's office is worth some 5.000 a year, and I am in for it like a thousand of brick. To show my goodness of heart, I'll make this otter to my competitor: I am sure of being elected and he will lose something by the canvass therefore I am willing to j divide equally with him, and make these two offers. ! I'll take the salary, and he may have the Itonor, or be may have the honor, and I'll take the salary. In j the way of honors, I have received enough to satisfy ' mc for life. I went out to Mexico, eat pork and beans slept in flic rain and mud, and swallowed e'crything except live Mexicans, wiien i was ordered to "go," I went. "Charge," I charged.

That ice can be produced j by mechanical means many may have heard, but that i steam may he used as an auxiliary for Ihe purpose ; will seem hardily credible to anybody; and that steam ttsell may be converted into snow by the aid of steam, is a phenomenon of which but very few have heard. Yet these are facts, and are now being daily demonstrated at the Great Exhibition, in the Refreshment Room, adjoining the department of Machinery iu motion. Mr. T.

An unlimited supply of dessert ices can thus be obtained, and of a perfectly smooth quality. The economy of lime, labor, and expense thus ensured must be immense; in fact, we mav now have ices as articles of luxury for the million! A more perfect contrivance for producing a perennial supply of these delicacies in a crowded place like the Exhibition could not b conceived, and their production is undoubtedly one of the most ingenious novelties in the section devoted to the machinery in motion. The machines, however, are not limited to making dessert ices, they can be made to produce cylinders ol solid tee, sufhcientj iy ,ar-e to hoid a decanU.r of water and seVeral bot t!es o(- winc Thee cyin(icr, are made in the form of castellated towers, and not onlv cool the wine and water placed in the centre, but diffuse amostagreea- ! ble coolness to Ihe atmosphere.

Wc heard an excellent story, a few days since, respecting one of the most popular of our Mobile steamboat captains, a gentleman of independence, and universally respected, width illustrates the extent to which gambling was carried on, on the Mississippi some years ago, and at the same time conveys a good moral against that vice. The gentleman to w hom we refer had been employed on a Mississippi boat as a second mate, and performed the duties of his position very satisfactorily. Card playing, at that time, on steamboats, was an established institution ol the country, the settled usage on the steamer on which Capt. II. was employed where everybody played, Irom the captain to the cook. All their spare time was devoted to brag and poker. The second mate was the only one who felt no inclination to take a hand, but preferred attending to his business, and amusing himself in other ways. At the cxpiraticn of two months of service, when the second mate applied to the captain for his wages, great was his surprise and mortification to be informed by the captain, after settling up with him, that he ' was under the necessity of discharging him. " Why, for what cause?" asked ihe second mate. " Do I not always perform my duty promptly and correctly?" "Yes," replied the Captaiu. "Am I not sober, peaceable, respectful?" " Yes, you are all that," responded the captain; "but, to tell you the honest truth, my friend, you do not give satisfaction to the people on hoard. To speak frankly, you are not sociable. You do not even take a quiet little game of " draw poker," with your brother officers." The second mate accordingly received his discharge, and was thus for some lime thrown out of employment. Shortly afterwards, meetinjra brother was r,Sni lo mscnarge you ; lor you were loo costly an officer, as you were the only one on board he ev- i er had to pay the accounts of the others being all squared up every month by a few games at poker, at which Captain C could beat all creation!" Thus, Captain !I lost his place because he did i not gamble. Leaving the Mississippi, he went upon i thc Lake, where, in a few years, by industry and en-' ergv, he accumulated a handsome fortune. A.

Put in it half a bishcl of fresh quicklime, and slake it by pouring over it boiling water sufficient to cover it 4 or 5 inches deep, and stirring it till slaked. When quite slaked dissolve in wafer, and add two lbs. of sulphate of zinc (white vitrol) which may be had of any of thc druggists, and which in a few weeks, will cause the whitewash to harden on the wood work. Add sufficient water to bring it lo the consistence of thick whitewash. This wash is of course white, aud as white is a color which we think should never be used except upon buildings a good deal surrounded by trees, so as to prevent its glare, wc would make it a fawn or drab color before using it. To make tlie above wash a pleasing cream color add 4 lbs. yellow ochre. For a fawn color take -1 lbs. umber, 1 lb. indian red. and ; lb. lampblack. To make the wash grey or stone color, add one lb. raw umber and two lbs. lampblack. The color may be put on with a common white wash brush, and will be found much more durable than a common whitewash, as the sulphate of zinc sets or hardens the wash. Cheap tcrtsA for Cottages of brick, ston?, stucco, or rough-cast. Take a barrel, and slack half a bushel of fresh lime as before mentioned ; then fill the barrel two thirds full of water aud add 1 bushel of hydraulic cement or water lime. Dissolve in water and add three pounds of sulphate of zinc. The whole should he of the thickness of paint, ready for use with the brush. This wash is improved by the addition of a peck of white sand stirred in just before using it. The color is a pale stone-color, nearly white. To make it fawn color, add 1 lb. yellow ochre 2 lbs. raw umber I lb. lampblack. To make it a drab, add 1 lb. Indian red, 1 lb. umber 1 lb. lampblack. This wash, which we have tested thoroughly sets and adheres very firmly to brick work or stucco, is very durable, and produces a very agreeable effect.
