It wit t serene inl lately nigM i'-i May. Although the moon had not yet risen to gild th Monnlain scenery with its clear and liquid ligM. and be star. those bright and beautiful Jewels of tho firmsraent, shone like vivid diamond in the pure and plrid sea of azure, floating dreamily over head. Thero was nothing to disturb the deep silence of the scene, cave the occsiona call of a whip-poor-will from the msrshes. and the shndy edfc8 of the northern shore of the lake, or the silvery chirp of the cneket, as it oared from its rt perch fir away into the tangled thickets spreading gloomily upon either side. Ths hour could scarcely have hern latr than ten o'clok, when a distent and measured framp might have been heard over the ground and small body of men seen rapidly approaching the southern margin of the silver-bosomed lake, that lay serenely in advance. A strong hardy bodied set of mn they were; with nerves if iron and forms that in these modern and degenerate dys would be deemed Tculean as the Antinous of early sg's. T little army did not possess the appearance of a regular foTC. though man, of them were uniformly attired in green bnnting shirts and nil were armed either -vith the huntsman s rifle, or the less ('ibUntial. but nearly as effective, firoloek. Som few wore the mililMj reu?kel3 and all wore in their belts the ctnleau de chasie, either for the substantial aervice of flaying tho mountain deer, ex for use at their homely meals when eawping out or a more deadly purpoar when engaged in close conflict with the nerr.v. They looked like, what they really were, the hardy pioneers of the West, with soula and hearts ready for any enterprise, no nutter how perilous ! And on a perilous enterprise they were now engsged. Before them lay the broad nd lovely water of Ticonderog tnl far away on the opposite shore, between Ihm and the sky, loomed tha haughty fortress of the sarae nsma over which floated in tha evening breeze, the then powerful lion-banner of the molher.country. Here-and there a light might hate been observed peering from some on of the koop holas of the fort and plating with a long waving glare over the rippling surface of the watejs. The distant footfall of the sentinel, pacing on his lonelv tnm over the parapet, and the faint AUV well as he was relieved r'om his wcarv duty by the relief guard, ere Vor t;ht1v bv tha eentle wind to the airs of the new comers. On and On thev came, that fearisss lit tle band 'till the waters lay a quiet but firm barrier, between them and their ioes. Jiai word broke on the silence of the night not one ! All were still is the gravel Every man knew the fearful attempt, they wera about to make and each jVlt as if on his on courage and actions. V-elt tke euttre success of the enterprise. Suddenly a whisper, for it was scarcely more burst from the lips of the commanding officer, "Halt !" and as if by magic every man was in the lin and fixd as though be were a statue of stun. Several men then stepped hastily from the rank3 and gathering but a few yards apart from the main body ui:der the dark ahade of a lofty oak ; busily and histily convened af to the plans to be adopted to achieva the passage to the other shore. It occupied but a very few moments, for then, time was everything and already the night was on its wane. The commauder in chief, a tall and powerful man. stepped forward to the main body. "Strgeant Miles' Here." Take tvrenty men and proceed with all expedition in the direction of Ticonleroga. Secure all the boa is you can pMcably. if not, forcibly, for all depends tipsjn our rapidity at this dangerous moment. We either hold yon fort to-night, or, to morrow! sun shnes on us as prisooei r?be!s, or bleeding corse-! I leave ysur course of conduct to youlr own judgrcn Forward.' u In an l tho littlo band had entered the wood toJ ooa-, very soon,'

the sound of thir faint and careful fall of footsteps died iway in the distance. "Sergeant Jones." "Here." You will take the opposito coarse, observing the same directions, with the fame number of men, God guide you, fir away." Forward." said lbs subordinate officer, and the little group, like shadows, and almost as rjoiselcssly, departed in their qnest. "And now, my men," continued the cfucer. you had better repose; your country will need all your strength before morning, unless wo are luckier than I dare sav we hall be in the coming affray.

Colonel Warner yon will place senticols to prevent surprise and join at yon oak, and away the gillant General Allen, for it was none other, hastened to join h'S expectant body of officers. And much they needed res!, that har dy few, for by a dint of (orbed marching through an enemy's country they bad at lnt reached Ticonderoga after several days of severe and painful toil. Their Callant comnunder General Ethan Allen had receired directions from"the General Assemblv of Connecticut torase the then famous Green Moutam Boys, and attempt the capture of the important posts of Ticondernga and Crown Point. Well and rapidly had he performed his duty though with a small and indifferently regulated force, for the whole of his army, though composed entirely of tho hardy settlers of those glorious davs amounted but to two hundred and thirty men, though, BS "Stalwart as their mountain rods, 'With nrrvc .o dsre Tho conflict and its fierce despair.' " v They had pressed rapidly fotward, with hearts throbbing to advance their independence, and level the locust band of invaders fnitening on their native soil with the dust, to Caslleton, nnd there thoy were unexpectedly met by the Men patriot Colonel Arnold, who had entered enthusiastically in the struggle for American liberty. He had been appointed by the Massachusetts'Committee to raise and take tho command of 400 men nnd proreed on that never-to-be-forgotten achievement, which was now soon to be gloriously accomplished. He then im mediately joined General Allen, and to gether they hoi advanced upon tha campaign. ; Tu moon had now risen, and beautifully the sailed along the wide expan5o of heaven tinting the rippling waters of the lake with ten thoasand silvery reflections, save where the dark shade of come mighty oak cr sjcamore. fell gloomily over its gU-5' bosom. The stillness and exquisite loveliiif s of the scene possessed a charm to lull the wildest feelings to repose ; but now it was different, for the lotely moon Mione over a country oppred fcn 1 enslaved, a fair and beauteous region, with its wealth of plains au I mountains, rivers and glens, ever rrrsent to the eyes of its children, chil dren who had determined to win for it lihortv. or lav iheir bones beneath the soil they so dearly loved, in . that holy cause S A low mtirmer occasionally ercse from the men as they conversed in a scarcely audible tone, so faint that the slight surge of the lake would have silenced it to a passer by. The night passed slowly on ! Suddenlv in the distance was heard the faint splashing of an oar, so faint, it too micht hate been mistaken for th music. al whisper as the waters, nnd the officers arose to creet their messenger. Then was heard the low question of the sentinel. Who goes IhereV And the quick response of the magic word, Freedom!" From the lips of the detachment as their boats grated heavily on the sand and one by one they stepped forth and stood in tho presence of their superior officer. "What success my brava follows!" aoid General Allen. "Poor. sir. roor! "We have found but three boats, and those will not hold twen ty men. unless crowded to the water' edge, although we eearcli long and faith fully." I believe it. I believa it; thanks, thanks; you may repose." And the gen eral dropped his head for a moment on his open hands in meditation and then spok. Colonel Arnoul end you uoionei Warner, what is to be done! "It will be folly to think of making any passage at present, at least till the oilier detachment arrires. and should they prote tinuccfFiful. we cannot with this number of boats hope to land more than the third of our forces before morning, and then under the most fearful disadvantages, if we are observed, bnt hark 1" And aeain the silvery sound of falling oars fell on their woodsman's ears, and a few seconds brought the first band in sieht, as stealing alone under the dark shade of the woods, in a long line, the boats quietly but rapidly approach the spot. A faw strokes and Sergeant Miles saluted his commander. Your success, what is it!" almost gasped the General. Ten boats, sir, ten boats, all we could obtain, and those with no small exertion." Well done, my brave fellows, well done! Now, boys, now. To nrmt," and the lion limbed settlers, like vissions conjured up by some magicians wand, stood noiselessly in rank. , How many will the boats bold? pee Colonel Warner and report." and tho of ficer hastened to the shore and almost ; i immediately returuea-

The troops now ranged themselves un der tho shelter of adjacent trees awaiting the arrival of their companions and burn ing with impatience to be lead egsinst the foe. The moon was rapidly finding in the western sky and the atmosphere again becarr.o dark vnd dreary, while in tho east a dim, hazy light crept slowly over the horrizon foretelling the grsdus.1 approach of dawn.

It is ft fesrful chance, but if fault there be, be it cn my head," and turning to the forlorn hope, for such ct this crisis that gallant band undoubtedly were said, "What say you. my gallant follows, shall vre on to the fortress?" Yes! yes!" burst cimultaneousty from the lips cf the eettlcr?, devoted, net to death, but to dare it or cuht else, for tue service of their country. You hear.

'What mean it General Aller;? It means I will enter that fort in the rear of no man living. I demand by commission of the Massachusetts Committee, to lead the attack." By my honor, Colonel Arnold, that cannot be. I am superior here, leadorof my own men, and constituted their officer by the General Assembly of Connecticut. I will yield til that I can, but not my post. "Then by the heavens above us, I will not proceed." "Shame, shame!" said the various officers, gathering round, their attention warmly excited by this dissentiou between their superior officers. "We have no time for delay at present Colonel Arnold," said Allen coldly, and, warming with patriotic feeling continued, "Our country first, and disputes for precedence hereafter. I will divide tho power, sir, with you. and we will enter the fort together, you, on the left end I, on the right hand. What say you, sir?" I am agreed, forward when you will." The mtfn, only eighty-three in number! few indeed, to tUmnt an enterprise, now doubly dangerous, from the non arrival of the rearguard in time.stood in three ranks all eagerness to advanoe, when General Allen, wishing to animate their patriotic feeling, to the fullest extent, stepping forward, thus haraugued tham. "Friends And Fellow Soldiers: You have for a number of year9 past, been a scourge and a terror to arbitrary powers. Your valor has been famed abroad, and acknowledged at borne, as appears by the advice and orders to me from the general assembly of Connecticut, to surprise and take the garrisun before us. I now propose to advance before you, end in person conduct you through the wicket gate. for we must this morning either quit our pretensions to valor, or possess ourselves of this fortress in a few minites; and, inasmuch as it is a desperate attempt which none but the bravest of men dare undertake, I do not urge it on any contrary to his will. You that will undertake voluntarily, pois your firelocks." In on instant every weapon was trailed and in suppressed voices the men demanded to be led to tho fort. "Right face," said Allen,"now boya.on and let each man remember we are battling for posterior The troops were all animation.

Leiter SYoiuSIajor ac2 Dotvniu? At Of t'jxitf. Oste- Oct. 18, 1S54. Dear General: We are prowlinall Tovndhere, and doing the best we can. though we haint mine cut to f?ich rmtters to a hea I ye!; but I guess we are in a pretty fair way for it. Our team's got grit enough and, by jiugo, they'll haul the lead they hitch on to. er oraath'mg j;ot to give way. Mr. Buckar.an an I Mr. Mason i?n't quite ?prj eno;i;h; they are a little 00 the eld fo;t fashion, and not always ready to coci up to the scratch ; but with Mr. Sickle? spirrin on on side, cn 1 Mr. Sanders M-irriu cn the sther side.

ar.d Mr Souly drivtn up behic 1. vre mae out to get pretty gocd pull cut Ol t.iem sometimes. We have jjot thins; so far a bead here, that Mr. Sickles and Mr. Sanders thinks I had better write a despatch to you and the Cabinet to home. and give some instructions bow to go on. I'll tell you wbat'ti. General. (when I call you General I somet'mes eennraost fel es if I W83 nritin tc General Jackson r.gain). I say. General. I'll tell you what 'tis, them three S's (Sickle?, Sander?, nr.d So'jly.) ore the three smartest chaps that ever crowed in rforth America. Thev make Europe ?tand around, and no mis take. Mr. Seniey fcoids old Spntn between his thumb and finper, and ilsks her about jest as he's a mind to. Queen and all; Mr. Senders lays dowu the Deinocratic law to Franc, and stars a pretty fair chance to be chosen Prosidetit of the new French republic after Napoleon goe i out: nnd f'r old John Bull, I'll be ctir I licked if I think th? critter dsre3 to an inch while Sick'.en bo'.d hira by the horns. I suppro Tottvp Pf r th?e letter how Mr Sickles nubbel Mr. rVabody.the great merchant banker, about the 4ih of July dir.ncr. Capital, w.sn't it? Yo fae Mr Fcabody gin n 4th of July dinner. He's always doin uch thing, cr giving rnonav nway for something nr other, for thry say hc-'s got morev enough to buv a kingdom. Wel, ho teVitcJ Mr Sickles to como nnd jina th res! cf us end hr.v a rood set o'own. Uu!, vo s?e, Mr.Feabodv didn't know how much patrictirr r.v.d real Democratic -it thero was stowed away in Mr. Sickle's brc!, ho bad idea on't, and that wa tho rock bo split on. You'll hardly tolcivo mo, Geperal, when I say it, but It's n fact, Mr.Frtbody had Englishmen ther? to help him rat that dinner? It's n melanrholv fact, but its true. If he had hr.d half a tab!? full of cannibals wo could all a stood it,?.nd fit our way through; but Mr. Sickles could not s'.ard Englishmen. IIo had too much Democratic blood in bin for that. To mix up Democrats anA Englisair.on ct tho same tr.blo wa; awful. But that vrsa't tho worst cf It. Wl-.en Mr. fickle gt thers ho couldn't hardly bl?iv hii own eyes, for there .vas n, portrr it cf th Queen hung right up ia the ram rcom with Gcneraf Y7e:hirgton! Wasn't tha! n stumper? No wonder Mr. Sicktes Democratic blood biled over. Dut that wasn't tho wor9t of it. Whea Ihey conw to pivo the toasts, they toasted tha Queen! Ths rc cf tho folks Riood up to drick tho toast, but Mr Sickles grit bis teeth end rst down ns hard r.s a thousand of brick; and he fait so disgusted ho couldn't eat another rrouthful. And when tho music to increase tho insult struck upMGod savo tho Queen," Mr Sickle took his hat and searched out. Thero was epunk that Young America ought to bo proud of. That Mr Buchanan didn't tako his hat and march out too, only chows that ho is nn old fogy. We're held our Congress, r.r.J got cur things in a middling good train; though, ns I caid beforo, wo hsint brought matters to a hoad yet. "Wo managed better than your Congress Äoa3, We didn't stop to make so many long winded speeches, but talked right to tho point, and got through in c few days. The', members cho?o mo President of tho congress tho firct thinr; for they raid I was nearest kin to Ginoral Jackson cf any cf 'em and the honor belonged to mo; so I had to tako tho cheer. I returned thank for tho honor of course, and then proceeded to businest. I beginnet by c-llia for tho reports of the committees that had the business in hand afore wo met. I called for tho report on England first out of respect to her being our veneTibl old mother. Mr. Sickles, who was the head of that commi::ca,epcrted that John Lull was cn obstinate old fogy, and had found it very hard to mako any impression upon him. The people nil seemed tied to tho Queen's apron string, and did n't seem to care no more about Democracy than a horse docs about its grandfather. Still he had faith to beleive that he could bo made to take it, nnd when tho timo comes h3 was ready to off coat and roll up sleeves nnd whip it into them (Cheers.) Upon tho question nccepting Mr. Sickle's report, Mr, BuCnanan roso and said ho objected to tho term old fogy; he never did like the term, and he thought it would do moro hurt than good in tho report and he moved that it bo struck out. -Mr. Sandors said no; that was tho cream of tho tepoji, and he objected to us being muck out. It was then put to vote, and Mr. Buchanan and Mason voted to strike il out and the rest voted to keep it in; 6o old fogy sto ns ia tbo report by a strong majority. I then called for the report on France. Mr. Sanders made e, long report; but the substance of it was that the Democratic crop in Franco wasn't quit tipe enough to harvest. Napoloonhad filled the peoples heads so full of tho Eastern war and Klory that they couldn't think of nothing else. ut said Mr. Sanders ''there'f t good time eomin, boy, mit at little loffg-er."(Cheer.

Mr. Sanders report w.n? unanimously accepted, with r provi?D that, whilo we had in wait a lif.le longer, we shouldn't stop working, but keep FtiHr. rcutid and try in to get u-. n tnuss somehow as roon as possible, I then caV.ed for tV.5 report on Spain.

If wo were to tell a number of our friend3 that they don't know what home ta, they wonld grow somewhat indignant, herbaps, use l.ard words. And yet it may be temsrked that the nuraVet of persons who know what a home is, by experience, is surprisingly fw. cne man in good circumstances will tell us that he has a fine bouse cf his own, in which every comfort and convenience ars provided. He has a wife and children there also, and they give life to tha place. Very true. But does he prefer that home, thus furnished and thus enlivened, to every other place in the world T Does be sigh when tho hour for leaving come?, an I smile when be is permitted to return? Does he love to sit by the cheerlul fire nd fondle the children, entering into all their littlo disputes with a curious interest? Doesho take particular noteof the bird in the cage, and the cat near the fire ? If not, he has no home in the dearest sense of the words. If bis mind is altogether absorbed in the uuMy ways of busin?ss; if he hurrtos from the house in the morning, end is loth to roturn at night ; if, while he is at home, he continues to think of the journal and ledger, and repulses the advances cf the pratling children, he has no home : he only hns a place wherebe lodges and takes his meals. Ah! happy is he who knows and appreciates the full bliss of home; whose heart is warmed und humanized by its cheerful influences, and who feels how superior in purity of pleasure are all its enjoyments to the turmoil delights of out : door life. Thrice Itippy is such a mar. He has discovered the only paradiso thif world can afford. It is only such a man who can havo a deep and sincere pity for the unfortunate creatures who are homeless. He regards them being cut off from the best influences of the earth, and exposed to the action of nil the darker waves of life. He feels keenly for him who has no fireside ; no dear ones to welcome him with smiles, and prattle over the history of the day ; no tongue to soothe him when heavy cares have tronbled the mind and rendered his heart sore; and the fymfathy of Fuch a mto is not slow to overflow in acts of benevolence. A good home is the source of the fountain of charity in the heart. Our advice to those who have no hemes sach as we have described above, ia to get them as eoou as posibie. They can never be contented and substantial citizens, nor thoroughly happy men, until they follow this counsel. Oet horätsf Fill them with the objects of lore nnd endiatment. and seek there for the pure delights which the world beside cannot fford.

The grest lessen cf e;ecnpli?h:f hzti is : Tbat England's policy in xefrr-ve to th? present war, hea been urcrf i.i its direction, and inefficient, uccuccettful. end disastrous in details. Let us eaelyze the sit'-atisn : Your gigantic armada in the Tactic n nesrly without a laurel to mt their hpid upon. To do eonethitg there, ti; cs-epprrft-tion of Sweden is to be got on!y by celling Poland to arms. And th: ws the answer, which, three months Itter. Hir Oscar gave to General Bariguay d'IKlliers. You have taken Bomarsund. Eut yea Mew it up, as if afrxid of your own victory, as if bent on the purpoee not t? have anything to offer to Sweden. What a g'gantie blunder ! England pretended to strike a blew -t the commerce of Russia, by blccbadir her coast, and Ergland succeeded to turn Russian commerce to Prussia. "What a haughty entering the:? wa ir ofncial quarters when I, months ego. toll th good people of England, that it be lieves to pay end bleed for freedom, while in reality, it is mad to fight for Austria. Now it has rome out at laat. Truth will come out, like as murder will. Well, has vour Government recured Austria? a Gs. and read the. well founded lamentations ia the organs, even in the ministerial organs of publicity, about the treacherous attitude and overbearing irßolence of that Austria which your Government persisted in counting with ro much submission, and wbirh. in return, facilitates the enterprises of Rusis. insults your allies, and counteracts your combinations. It is rot only that you Lave cot gair.td over Austria; but there you have tke Tuiks trrested in the midst of their victorious course; there have the fruit cf their heroic etru-gle, poor Wellachis, played over into the treacherous hands of despotic Austria: there is tha Turkieh army paralyzed, on the one band, and there is, on the othr hand, the Czar made and left free to throw ovarrowering numbers upon the flank and the rear ef your gallant ranks in the Crimea there ycu have the spirits of the Turkish army, high tlowln as they wtfe by th victories cf Silistrii and Giurgevo. now depressed there you bava the spirits of the Rcftiar army, deprested as they were, now restored. And ah, I could tell you what it is to neglect tha moment of spiritual excitement in victorious trmy I could tell you what it is to give tir? to a darr.oralired nmj ta resume its apirita and to take breath.. - One such momeet. inflect in a war. a; 1 it ii not battlrs. gentle-men. not battle but empire tlu; j'niay be lit by it. , .
