C5.j The event most desirable for the savages, aad for which they had probably been waiting, now unfortunately occur red. The heavv drifting clouds which had loner blackened die western horrizon began now to obscure the w hoL oky, and j a thick darkness soon settled upon the Ian.lsc.ipe. To fire the building and compel its evacuation, an I thus to capture or massacre the whole party, while its defenders had no advantage of shelter", and were impeded with the care of their women and children, was the chivalrous feat which the besiegers now contemplated. The danger could not be concealed, end hope consisted only in meeting it courageously. In a momentary interriew which Dudley obtained at this period with Miss Welles, the latter communicated to him the dreadful suspicion that one of the enemy was Knoclt Wa'.don, tvhom she bflieved that she bad recognized both by his figure and &ait. Although horrified at ih supposition there was also a gleam of pleasure in the antiounfemenl; for whether Waldon were bo deeply guilty or not, the fact that he could be obnoxious to such a suspicion of Ellen precluded ihi i lea of her entertaining for him any partial feeling. Animated by an increased hope, Dudiey begged Ellen to consider herself under his especial protection, anl, with an earliest and eloquent look, he added, l ot to believe herself in danger while he continued to live. Theres was nothing in the words, but there must have ben something ia the manner of the spe.ker to call the quick blood to the chek of Ellen. Hurriedly thanking him, she turned axvay, and Dudley, with a comparatively light heart, hastened to prep re for further defence. Placing two or three men at each of the Several wind ows, so as to command to some extent every side of the house, tie directed them to keep up a random fire, in hopea that the besiegers would be intimidated from a near approach. For a while this plan seemed lo succeed. i..-. ir.ur.., i uu iiu auuuuui mc joc ueuig oe it ui-u, , me oenei was en teriai neu uiut nie ere effectually repulsed. Cut tho more weary were not disposed to such ready hope. The silence was too deep and ominous. Alarmed by the very quietude without, Dudley, after ordering increased vigilance on every side, announced his determination to ascend to the house-top. and called upon three or four of his most resolute companions to follow him. A small sky-light' alForiUd means tf effecting this object, and with extreme silence and caution Dudley ascended only until his head had fully emerged into the open air. Pausing to reconnoitre the adjacent fields, his eye was immediately arrested by what at first seemed a few fireflies flittering about the roof. With a sudden and fearful suspicion he remained motionless, and made a closer scrutiny. Feeling cautiously about hiin. h2 ascertained the wetted blankets hid been removed, and the conviction tint the roof was already in possession of the savage.forced itself upon his mind. His position was nearly at one extremity of the building, which was long an l narrow, with a single chimney at the opposite end. Peering earnestly through the thick darkness, he at length discovered part of the outline of several figures iu a stooping attitude. The sound of breath, as in the act of blowing at embers, also reached h s ear from several quarters, and convinced him thit the Indians were at that momenut engaged in setting fire to the building His pru leuce for the in nneut almost yielded to the quick feeling of rge which prompted him to rush headlong upon so didbolical a foe; but restraining his wrath, he immediately drew back and communicated to hia astounded companions the nature of his discovery. His resolution was immediately taken. The sky light, which was gained only fcr moveable steps, would admit of only three persons standing within t; and having stationed that num bir of his little garrison at the foot of the steps with reserve guns, he called upoo j?t and Rogers to follow him, and once

'T would have bLii a hard fall for a living man," he said, as the noise of the body striking the ground reached Iiis ear; "bat a stack of feather beds wouldn't have berr any mercy to him now." "Don't ba too sure." replied Rogers, banteringly; "your dead men hate a re markable frfcul'.y of coming lolife again and I think I see the red devil HO SPam npr n f aiirr.sc II. a lm. ...l. .1...

But the triumph which produced this temporary elating of spirits in thrse brave J men was far from being complete. The fire had gained a headway that demanded instant attention, and whoever ventured within its light would doubtless be a prominent mark for the outlying foe. No time, however, was to be lost, and two brave fellows of tho Life Guard already stood prepared at the foot of the stairs for the perilous enterprise. Hear ing blankets, saturated as before, they rushed hastly to the flames. The expect- j ed volley was discharged, and, unhappily, as the groan3 of the young men testified, not without effect. ' One. but sliirhtlv injureu. uecl nastily back, while the oth- . a . .... er. convinced of the mortal nature of his , , ob'y resolved that his life should prove no idle forfeit, Staunch-; ing ihe life blood with one hand, he dra ged himself feebly from blaze to blaze, until the last flickering light was extinguished, and then, with the remnant of in iiiing strengtn, crept slowly back toi his companions Drawn hastily but gei,y w.m.n. tue youiu was ueposuen . w ii.Ui u, uiiu nastily pirpji juuns were made to examine and relievo his wounds. Hut observing the changing expression of his fare, and obeying his sitiuigean gestures to desist, his comrades crowded with tearful eyes around his bed. 'My sis'cr!" faintly ejaculated the dy ing man, as he slowly turned' I113 eyes j toward the door. A low wail was heard without; the door opened, am! the faint ing maiden was supported to his bedside. A placid einiie stole like sunlight over the features of the youth; his lips moved. and the the trembling girl bent tower to bear The whispered words with which the parting soul went unwards were soft ai sound could b; yet distinct 9 i ly artii uhted; they ft-II upon every ear. 'Tie ahull viert again!" CHATTER VI. The effect on the besieged party of the melancholy occurrence which his just been narrated was dispiriting in ihe extreme. They could not but feel that the lotof their comrade might soon be their own, and perhaps with circumstances of aggravated suffering. Rut Dudley was not without the strongest hopes that the severe repulse which Ihe enemy had now met with would induce them entirely to withdraw, the more especially as they were not supposed to know the fatal result of their last discharge of fire-arms. The war whoop with which-they had ac companied the assault gradually died

If she had before doubted, sho was now decided, end sho re suUed to brave every other peril sojtior than tu trus l.crsell in tho power of her suitor. But she did not niako known her resolution, and ho, supposing her only to lieiute, specified an hour on tho next doy w hen ho would call for her decision, and courteously withdrew. It was on that evening that her flicht to Leo's impelled by a doubio fear, had occurred. But Waldon had not, in reality, been a participant m tho n flair of tho precccding night and hilcn a suspicion on that point had doubtless been caused in part of her extrcmo droad of filling into his hands. It will bo soon, thai efore, that her alarm, al though abated, was still far from being dispelled, nor could sho conceal her anxi elv rrom O kMov. T'n rxnrnss her frnti. jlud0 to lier defender with becoming ! warmth, and vet with maidnnlv roservp. was llo difficult task for a senstblo and ingenious girl, but it was tremblingly, painfully, and by slow degrees alone, that sho was able to discloso, iu answers to his oarncst but respectful inquiries, tho particulars of hcr uufortunato position.

She could beattended, he said, by her maid, and he himi self, if sho would permit, would accompa ny her and fulfil an intention that he had long entertained of seeking service in the morican army. Tho proposition was startling., but Kllen did not hesitate.

Although tho result of this engigemont was one in which it is difficult to docido tho question of victory, yet tho main object of tho expedition was defeated.' No portion of ilkir.ier's forces reached the garrison, and Col. Gansevoort remained in a more hopc!ess condition than before. Ho had fulfilled all that was roquired on his part. Tho sortie of Col. Willott, who gained and held possession of Sir John Johns m's camp long enough to transfer seven wagon loads of spoil, each thrice told, to tho fort, was a brilliant exploit, for which Congress voted hirn the nation's thanks and a sword. But there are some miner incidents of which it is neccssaty to speak. C.apt. Wells had ellec'.ed hi.s object of joining tho loyalists at Fort Stanwix, and it' was there that he first learned from Waldon the flight of Lllen. Deeply incensed at her conduct, and enraged beyond measure at Dudley, ho immediately applied to his commanding officer for permission tidespatch a fl ig to Col. (J insevoort, requesting safo conduct for his daughter to the British camp. This was granted and it was only on the third morning after Ellen's arrival at Fort Stanwix that she was thus summoned to join her father. Had it not been for Waldon she would not have hesitated n moment to yield obedience to tho parental authority, but her droad of her suitor had become so greet as to bo quito insuperable. Sho returnod a respectful and dutiful answer, in which she dwelt at length upon her rcce r.t perils and her present safety, adding that sho felt unable to bear any new excitement or alarm, and begging to bo allowed to remain iu quiet in hcr-present abode. 'If,' iho ingeniously concluded, 'if your force.s are rrpuhed, I shall cartainly be safer hero than in a travelling camp, but if, as you so confidently predict, you will bo iu possession of tho fort within three days, you will then also be in possesjiou of your affection ate daughter Ellen.' But although thus baffled for tho time, Capt. Wells, as will be seen was not disposed to intermit his efforts. Dud'ey in tho moan timo had found no small favor in tho eyo of C l. Gansevoort to whom, ns indeed to tho whole garrison, tho affairs of Fort Lee had become known. In the famous attack of Col. Willett on tho Zfritish camp ho bore a conspicuous part, and received tho highest ecoiniums from that ofiijer, and his reputation for coolness and courage soon becamo such, that when any deed of unusual daring was contemplated, his nanio was nniong ihe first to bo mentioned in connection with it. lie had received a Lieutenant's commission, with tho promiso of speedy promotion, while his worthy and valiant com rado. Rogers, had also been raised to tho rank of sergeant. But in the mean time tho prospects of the garrison grow daily more gloomy, and Col. Willetto and Dudloy undertook tho perilous task of making their escape from the fort, traveling thirty miles through the forest on foot, and making a final desperate efljrt to rally the malilia lo Try on county, whero each of them were woll known and were highly popular. Thoy succeoded in foaching Fort Dayton, whero to their joyful sursurpriso they learned that Generals Arnold and Larned had already been despatched by Gen.

P;it tho happiness of in tho British ctmp, Ellen had left tho fhr m.der the charee of ail ernmissary of Wrddon, who had not hesitated to dosecrato the sacroi character of a flag to so viia a purpose. This afflicting news was rendered still more alarming bv ihe ndTi ticnal intelligoncetlnt C.ipt. Well was dangerously ill from the eifects of a wound received in tho battle of Oriskany. The privations incident to a travelling camp would of course diminish tho chances of his recovery, and in the event of his death Ellen would be kftjcmotn from her friend to the tender morcic of Wahlen, unshielded even by tho slight protection which Puch a parent would have afforded. Still another startling item of news, which was disclosed to Dudley; on his arrival, was that Uogers.his faithful friend and ally in the affair at Lees, hid deserted to the enemy; an event so incredible, that when forced reluctantly to beleive its truth, he far a moment lost all fiith in human integrity. The deserter had been as remirkibl j for his honesty au I frankness as for sagacity, and his personal attachment to D i lley, was a matter of general observation. There was no lime, however, for reflection on this secondary calamity. To pursue the retreating army to keep in the neighborhood of- Ellen, and watch the chances which fortune miüht throw in his way for her tescue, was his immediate and prompt resolve,

remarkable examples, show ing the great :he Washington goipof the letter w riloss sustained by England in the history ters, extracted from tlie different newspa-

of its statesmen, and oT its national pro - gress, through the imperfect state of par liamentary reporting in former times. He opens the life of Lord Chatham thus: "There is hardlv anv man in modem times, with the exception, perhaps, of j Lord Somers, who fills so large a space in our history, and of whom we know so little, as Lord Chatham; and yet bo is the person to whom every one would at once point, if desired to name the most successful statesmen and most brilliant orator that this country ever produced. Of Lord Somers, indeed, we can scarcely be said to know anything at all, That he was a person of unimpeachable integrity, a judge of great capacity and learn ing, a linn friend of liberty, but a cautious and safe counsellor in most difficult "inergencies all are ready to acknowledge. But the authority which he possessed among his contemporaries, the influence which his sound and practical wisdom exercised over their proceedings, the services which he was thus enabled to render iu steering the Constitution safe through the most trying times, and say ing us from arbitrary power without paying the price cf our libetties iu anarchy and bloodshed nay, conducting t lie whole proceedings of a revolution with all the delibeiation, and almost in the form, of an ordinary legal proceeding, have sur rounded his name with a mild yet imperishable glory, which in the contrast of our dark ignorance respecting all the

Congress 1ns now taken care that this sort of genuine j history shall fall from the press, lull and j perfect, day by day; and thus every j public man will make his own history, ! and blen 1 it imo.'rishably with that of his country.' The Congressionil Globe and Appendix is so voluminous that it can only be read by cur busy countryman partially i 'iurhig its progress. S ime are ir.tere.ned hi one mt acsuro, some iu tiiother.

To obviate this, and enable all to get at a glance a general view of the entire proceedings of Congress, and to fix their attention on what suits their particular views, I .will publish in future, in adjitlon to the Daily Globeaud the Congressional Globe and Appendix, a Tcksday's- Cosgrf.ssioxai.

Th"; brief synopsis of debates will fill but a small part of the contents of this lorsre weekly sheet. It will contain t very important item of foreign and domestic news which can be "leaned from the i daily print during the week, together ! with that which mav be brought by lelcgraph before going to' press. It w ill contain, besides, tho interesting mit eilany v hieb is given iu the Diily Globe, illd 1 pers which employ them, w henever they shall be esteemed of such import as to interest the readers of the Globe, and bear such probability on their face as to warrant their insertion. As this weekly paper will be sent to 'all the subscribers for the Concessional Globe and Appendix, it will certainly 'have a more general ti rculation than my 'other newspaper in the United States. ami w ill, therefore, invite advertisements trom every section oi tue union, cspe r TT cially the wholesale merchants in the great cities, which will give it additional interest with business men everywhere. The Daily Globe will be printed on a double royal sheet, twice a day during the sesssions of Congress at t de ven o'clock, a. in., and five o'clock, p. m. and once a day at five o'clock, p. m. during the recesses, at five dollars a year for either the morning or evening edition. l he. evening edition is the one most suitable for subscribers who live out of this city, as it will contain, besides the full proceedings of Congress of the day before published in the morning edition, a full synopsis of those of the tliy, together with the news by telegraph, and from other sources, up to the hour thai it is put to press. It will contain, also, all laws and joint resolution passed by Congress, The Congressional Globe and Appendix will also be printed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size,

An Arkansas paper relates the follow- ' inS singular occurrence: "We have been shown an extract of a letter from a gentleman residing near Lawrence ville. Monroe count v. in which j he states that Aaron McMullin, aged 1 some 10 or 1 - years, was killed by the 9 mi bite of a rattlesnake under the fnll ntvinn circumstances: It seems that the held of the snake had been severed from its body and laid on a log. The little fellow had forgottn the head was there, and laid his arm in its mouth, whieh was instantly closed on it, and was only disengaged by pulling it off w ith the 'other baud tearing a vein and an artery of his arm. He died in twenty-four hours from the effects of the bite. You look like death on a pale horse said Jim to a toper, who was growing pale ahd emaciated. I dou't know anything about that said tha ioper, but I'm death on pale brandy.
