The Chivralry of Wlafield Scott. There area great many brilliant incident* In the life of Gen. Scofr4 which single hitn out as an extraordinary raau. Few pcruonB hate lived »o long in our country and achieved fame so lasting—a name so honorable and undying and we doubt if juft such another will soon follow in his footsteps.

Att one of the instance* of gallaut bearing and conduct to which we allude, aa giving a particular lustre to the honored brow of Wis»FIBI.D SCOTT, we cite hia daring chivalry when he wan a British prisoner, on board of a man-of-war at Quebec. No one with an American heart in hi# bosom, can read the account without admiring the gallantry and unconquerable nerve which the yoling soldier exhibited on the occasion. No one but audi a man as Scott coald have so fiercely bearded the British Hon even in hia own den, while his teeth were even gnashing la hia sight.

The battle of Queenstown was fought, Oct, 13, 1612, and aa Gol. Van Rensselaer was wounded in the onset, the command fell upon Colonels Chrirttio and Scott. Scott was then about 26 year* old, a time of life in which few young men have shown so much daring bravery. Scott took the British post of Queenstown, and while in possession of it, he was attacked by a reinforcement of British under Oen. Brock, of 600 strong, who were repulsed and lost their commanding officer. Another reinforcement of British, largely outnumbering the American troops, attacked Queenntown nnd recaptured it, and Scott with the remnant of his bravo men fell into the hands of the British. It was on this occasion, tlint the undaunted Scott made the following thrilling ppeech on a i°g-, '•Tiio enemy's balls have thinned our ranks. His numbers are oveV whelming. Directly the shock must come, nnd there is no retreat. We are in the beginning of a national war. Hull's ignominious surrender must, be retrieved. Let us die then, arms in hand Our country demands the sacrifice. The example will not bo lost. The blood of the slain will make heroes of the living 1 Who is ready for the sacrifice?" nn enthusiastic cry answered this eloquent appeal. '.'Wo arc ALL ready I" was the reply."

But Seott and his men were made prisoners and taken to Queb«c, where the British authorities claimed the right to select all the IRISHMEN in Scott's command, and send them to England, to be hung, as traitor* to their country The BritUh officers came on board the vessel, and commenced their iufnmous work, and had selected twentjfthret before Scott had an opportunity to iuUrfera in their talialf. The Irish soldiers were questioned by the British, and selected by their brogue, which, as toon at discovered by Scott, he at once pre vented it, by telling his men to "answer no h€r

wore questions," The British officer# told Scott that he, also, was a prisoner and told him to "go below," but he refused, and a high quarrel ensued, in which Scott, although a prisoner and without his sword, prevented any further selection of iriah soldiers, and he told the British ia plain term*, if they laid violent hands upon any of the tit*nty-tbr*t Irishmen. he would avenge the deeth of every one of them by a terrible retribution upoa the first English prisoners that fell into his hands I This heroic conduct saved the lives of the twenty-three Irishmen, who were sent to England ia chains, but through Scott-a mediation, got safely back to thank him in person for having saved them by his prvtti*, and gallant conduct while he was himself a prisoner.

Who else could have acted thus? What young man of twenty-six years would have so boldly defied British power and vengeance? We venture to assert that history doe* not show a parallel for such heroism and nobis daring in the midst of a powerful and victorious enemy.

Think, countrymen, of a youth fnl Colonel, a prisoner of war, standing upon the dock of a BritUh v«Mel, in the midst of his captors, and styyi*? them to their teeth Think of his saying to British myrmidons, "touch a single hair of the heads of these twenty-three Irishmen, and I will take vengeance upon of the first English prisoner* that fall into my hands," This is the kind of talk for an American hoy. that even then made British insolence tremble in its boot* and GA\**d the live* of twentythree Irish soldier*. Bonaparte, the greatest Captain of his age, WAS once a prisoner on a British vessel, but he kn*w not how to deport himself aa did the gallant ysong Scou, for while U«?

This is the man the whig* of the Union have presented for the Preeidency. Who can dispute his pre-eminent claims?

THE POLITICAL CBI8I8.

The present may truly be denominated the political crisis—a crisis, the event of which will tell upon the pages of coming time. The present contest is no sanguinary struggle. The triumph is not to be gained by the sword and bayonet—the scale of victory is not to be turned by the skill and intrepidity of one man, but by the united efforts of an army of enlightened freemen.

The war of principle—pure, liberal principle, has begun. The time has come when men form their own opinions of men and measures—when they read, think and act, independent of iutrigue and designing dictation. Public opinion, that great lwer of political freedom, ia to decide upon the questions at issue between the two great political antagonists. Upon one hand, we see combined in beautiful array, the ground-work and elements of a public policy which the whole expcricnce of the past has demonstrated to be in perfect harmony with the object and end of free republican institutions. Upon the other, we see a senseless code of negatives to say the least of it, at war with truth, justice and domestic economy—a policy the tendency of which has ever proven prejudicial to the vital interests of the agricultural and manufacturing community everywhere, as well as to the only inducements of western industry and enterprise. In the one, we recognize a nation's prosperity—the laborer's sure reward in the other, we see a spirit of progression without a parallel even in the annals of the infatuate Romans when they departed from the faith and integrity of their fathers, in the triumph or defeat ot the followers of this ignis-fatuus, our rival mother across the waters will rejoice or weep.

Fellow-freemen, it is with you to say what the event shall be. In your hands rests the destiny of the approaching contest. There is no medium ground, when truth and errror are struggling for the supremacy—when facts are submitted for your candid consideration, it is your duty to investigate—to determine the right and maintain the same. For neglect or indifference on your part, a nation of your fel-low-countrymen will have to offer atonement.

Brother Whigs, before you is the battlefield of action. You are marshalled undei a champion than whom, your country can boast of no nobler or more worthy. The principles for which you are contending, have ever been near and dear to every true patriot and freeman. Your standard sheet proudly waves over as brave and true an army as won the battles of '40 and 48. America has ever been true to

no

ble sons merit lias ever found her

reward at the hands of her impartial sovereigns. The names of^a Washington, a Harriioa and a Taylor, are living monuments, about which cluster the tokens of American gratitude.

Can it be, that public sentiment has be come eo alienated from the affection for the great and good, and so far advanced in the frozen-hearted lore of this giant progressive age as to desert one, whose fame is the brightest pages of hia country's history—and whose valiant deeds,like "morning dews, distil a fragrance upon every passing breeze I" And there comes voice triumphing the factious tumult of party fanaticism answers, never, no never In the triumph of Whig principles our country ia secure—in the election of Gen. W IKFISLD Scorr to the Presidential chair in November next, you will have only discharged a duty you owe to this illustrious hero.

Correspondence of-the Express.

iHTEEESTHrO LETTEE. Sf. PACL, MIITRHOTA TBHRITORT, Sept. J27th, 1852- ,$ Friend Donaldson:-^

I have just returned from my tour up" the Minnesota river, (St. Peters on the map,) and now will try to give your readers an impartial account of that far-famed country.

I left this place on the 15th inat., in company with some other gentlemen, all in high spirits and eager for enterprise and novelties. The first day we were detained some, and did not get more than twelve miles, that is to Black Dog village, situated on the first good land we saw, after we crossed the river at St. Paul. The road lies on the south side of the river.— This prairie made me feel like I was coming among some of my old acquaintances and presented a happy contrast with the rough barrens, which we had just past through. 4

This is the first Indian village above Mendota (meeting of the waters) situated at the mouth of the Minnessota The choice claims, on this prairie, whieh is four

or six miles

or prairie, with scattering trees.and undergrowth. The next important change was a poor sandy prairie, with a few small oaks, which seem as if they had scarcely moisture enough to sustain life.

As we leave this, we pass some wet marshy flats, about a mile, then rise on a beautiful rich prairie ten or twelve miles long, and two or three wide. This was the first place that made me feel like home, like I was again treading the fine roads on our beloved Fort Harrison prairie, and so strong was the resemblance, that I would feel almost like I expected to meet some familiar old acquaintance, as some dark object would be approaching us in the distance but those feelings of a hearty welcome by an old friend, would soon be dissipated by the jingle of little bells and trinkets, around the neck of some Indian pony my reverie would be broken, and I aroused to the reality of my loneliness— that I was among strangers, yes heathens, in a strange land.

The centre of this prairie is about '25 miles from St. Paul, and a good landing at Holmes', where he has laid off a town of over 1000 lots 60 by 140. streets 80 feet, and alleys 16, on a beautiful site.— This liberal and enterprising proprietor offers to give any actuul settler a building lot, if he will improve it.

Some of our party went out five

This prairie is skirted the whole length by fine large timber, and is a most desirable farming country, containing many lovely building situations. At the far end of this, we came to many large houlders and small rocks scattered over the surface, it is said there is a Gne stone quarry here also.

We now pass through about ten miles of splendid timber consisting of large sugar. linn, butternut, ash, elm, and a few black walnut, and as rich land as any Wabash bottom. Several small streams pass through these woods, and the last one, Sand Prairie Creek, large enough for fine water power. W« encamped here the second night, and found grass for our horses as high as they were*. Several Indians staid with us here aud started next morning without breakfast, as they did not appear to have any thing to eat

About one mile further on, after leaving the creek bottom, we approach another Indian village, on Sand Prairie and sand it is for there is very little vegetation growing here, except short grass and that very thin. The length of this prairie

running through a healthy country, which only wants to be brought into cultivation in ordef to become the most productive and profitable farming? country wehave.

But we must pass'on, until we get to the river, which was about ten or twelve miles from our entrance into the woods. Here we found a very high bluff, from which/we could see all the surrounding country on the opposite side, all the mcanderings of the river, which is very crooked, and over-flows a large bottom, OB one side or the other nearly its whole length, and. not unfrequently on both sides.

small skirt of woods, not very valuable, and we arrive at Broken arm village and prairie, which contains about 30 sections of as fine farming land as any one "need want, enough to settle at least one hundred families, with plenty of water, the river on one s'lde, and large timber on one side and end, sufficiently near to supply any part of the prairie with a good landing. We are here about 45 miles from St. Paul. _1

We now cross a small, clear running stream, go up a short steep hill, and enter the "Big woods." which stretches along in a south-west direction to the mouth of the Blue Earth rivet, twenty-five or thirty miles. I am almost afraid to attempt a description of these woods, aa they so far exceed any thing I ever saw before. The main body of timber here is Sugar, linn, and Elm, a few Oaks and Walnuts— though probably more sugar than all other large timber—wilh but little under growth, besides weeds and nettles, which grow as high as the waist. As w* advance, we find more undergrowth of young hickory and small bwtternut, though the principal timber is sugar ail the way we went.

It appears to CMS that, if ever the great Architect of the Universe designed and

formed any portion of his mighty works, especially for the convenience, gratification and comfort of his creatines here, it is ihis.

From the previous explorations of one of our parly, we were induced to cioss to the north side of the river, and spend three or four days, during which, we found all of our expectations of a good country fully realized. Here is a fine landing, and a very high bluff, but one of the toery best roads i. e. natural roads I ever saw. Here we all concluded to avail ourselves of the invitation of our common old tjncle Sam, survey and mark off our claims consisting of 160 acres each. These are

or six miles, where they say tbey found one of the most lovely prairies they ever beheld in any country, and as rich as land can be in a state of nature. This is an arm of the Grund prairie of the world, which reaches out to the Ptynbina settle ment, more than 400 miles. They think 1000 families can be located here, and all be accommodated with sufficient timber for their farms on the prairie, and also supplied with water in abundance. There is a high mound two or three miles from the edge, from which are to be seen numerous groves of timber, resembling islands in an ocean.

Well, we re-crossed the river on the fourth day, went up again on the south side five miles, when we arrived at the city of La Seur, named in honor of La Seur, one of the early pioneers of the country.

This is an admirable site for a town, yes a city, wilh tw6 good landings and a large overflowed bottom of heavy timber between them. The site is a prairie about ten miles long, and from three to six wide, equal in beauty and soil to Fort Harrison prairie

It has a never-failing stream at, or rather in the edge of the timber, sufficiently large for good grist or saw mills. And here again are to be seen the finest spcci mens of timber, the largest oaks, sugar, and soft maple, black and white walnut, that can be fouud in almost any country.

There can be had a splendid road from this point out as far as the head waters of Cannon river, and probably all the way to the Iowa line. We did not go any further up, thinking it unnecessary to spend any more time in a country, of which every person that has seen it, gives the same account. Traverse de Sioux (crossing of the Sioux) is nine or ten miles by land above this, on the North side of the river and a good location for a large town as they have "all out o' doors'' to build on.

Fifteen or twenty miles further up we arrive at the mouth of the Blue Earth river, where is another beautiful town site and one of the most sptiude cities, t. e. paper cities I ever saw the paper part of the last two named is all I have seen, but I have no doubt, from the accounts given by all that have visited them, that at no distant day, they will all three be fine thrivinjj towns, if not cities, and frour their location, they will all be county seats, of

In conclusion, I will now state some of the inducements to farmers to come to this country. In the first place, the climate is pleasant, and healthy the soil equal to any portion of the United States, with about enough of prairie and timber to make farms wilh little labor. Secondly, as a grazing and stock country, I am confident, no part of Indiana, Illinois, or Iowa can beat it. Grass is abundant for summer use, and cutting hay for winter not only so, but there are thousands of acres, covered with rushes, on which almost any quantity of cattle can be wintered without one dime's exbense, except salt. Nor is

nveT

navigable atream,

tills all. There will be paid to the Indians at some of these points 30.000, annually until 1858. and then §20.000 for fifty years. The emigration will also consume a large quantity for many years yet so that farmers may expeet the very best of prices for every thing they can raise for many tear*

Make your arrangements to come early next spring, with cattle, horses, bogs and sheep, and all the requisites for breaking prairie, farming, and raising all kinds cf stock, not forgetting chickens.

They (the people) elected Taylor, who was utterly unfit for the Presidency of the United States, simply beeause ku army of brave American officers had whipped General Santa Anna and his cowardly horde of Mexicans.—Journal.

What, under the shining sun, has Gen. Pierce done that has made Asm fit for the Presidency? He did not even whip any cowardly Mexican General in fact, had it not been for those around him, he might have been whipped himself, or carried off when he knew nothing about it. What has Pierce done in Congress Originated nothing! Voted NO whenever he could stab the west. People cannot vote for a man whose history shows no heroism or statesmanship—nothing ^commend him to voters above thousands of others around him. Such is Pierce. Such is not Scott, and the people know the facts. You cannot palm off a dime for a dollar.

0^7- A labored article of the Journal tries hard to corihect Gen. Scott with Seward, Johnson, tc., as higher law men."— Does the Journal recollect that the very prince of abolitionists is now ioud-mouthed for Pierce? The two Van Burens, Butler & Co., say they do not wish abetter platform, than that prepared for them by the democracy at Baltimore. Is it not singular that said platform and Mr. Pierce very well suit such "higher law" menJj.^Xook to it, Union democrats.

CHANGE OF LANDLORDS.—T. C. Buntin. of the Prairie House, has recently taken charge of the Brown House, and will hereafter be found ready at all times to accommodate the traveling public, at said place. Under Mr. Brown, this Hotel had a fine reputation, which will otill be maintained under Mr„ Buntin Suu ited near business, and of easy access, the house will always be thronged with travelers and boarders, and will doubtless increase in patronage every day. Mr. B. is the right sort of a man, and we hope to hear of his entire success in the Hotel he has

just taken charge of. The State Sentinel says, Mr. Brown, late proprietor of the Brown House in Terre-Haute, will take charge of the Bates House, in Indianapolis, as soon as it is finished.

Mr. B. can soon make a fine reputation for said large house.

We seldom go out without seeing some new houses erected and erecting. The neatest improvement about town (not a house) and the first of the kind of any considerable length, is the new iron fence on stone foundation, nnd brick pavement, recently put up by Mr. J. D. EABLY, in front of his property on Ohio street. We should be glnd to see much more of the same kind, for it is handsome, permanent, and beautifying to the place.

E. W. Smith's new dwelling on Ohio street, will be one of the handsomest in the plate.— It is very neat iu every respect. Dr. Patrick has a new frame dwelling on same street nearly closed in. and the new brick Gothic Church (Baldwin) near by, for the use of Mr. Cheever, is up to the square. It will also be a handsome structure. Mr. W. W. Early has an excellent brick dwelling nearly completed, on the same street, Dr. Wood has a frame addition to liis brick which will soon be finished, and soon no building places will be left in said eligible part of Terre-Haute for family residences. The watch-word is onward—fill up.

(£7- Senator fas. Whitcomb died at N. York cm the 4th inst. He had visited said city for the purpose of being operated upon for the gravel, which was done, but inflammation and death ensued. Mr. W. was 60 years of age, and had filled many important offices, among which were Governor and U. S. Senctor.

TBB BRIDGE.—We are glad to see the bridge prosecuting towards completion so rapidly. We understand that it will be ready for crossing in two weeks more, though not then entirely finished. This will be a great comfort for movers who are now delayed sometime *at the ferry, and have great trouble in getting their cattle to swim over. We recently saw sorte of such trouble and vexation and hoped we might never be a mover, wilh a wagon load of children, and drove of cows and calves.

If Mr. Davis is elected to Con­

gress, we shall charge it to the following compliment to him in the last Journal: "No one can listen to Mr. Davis without being impressed with his manliness, his truth, his sincerity: no special pleading. on his drawn distinction." .- If that "drawn distinction" does not save hitn, he is & gone lokey.

in* We notice that the Rev. E. T. Baird, formerly of this place, has bought 001 the PEE# BTTSXUIT, at St. Louis, Mo., aod will take immediate charge of said paper. We wish the Professor great success.

THE ELECTION

Passed off yesterday very quietly—no excitement or distarbances. As we go to press this morning, something over 300 rotes are counted, pottingifeCarty, W. (Govern or) about 20 per ct. ahead. This may give him the county by about 400 votes or more. The State ticket is about the same. Barbour, for Congreas is behind McCarty, Hughes for Judjre is largely ahead of Eckels. So is Combs, W., for State Senator much ahead of Cookerly. There is a probability that Cookerly iB beaten.

We think Burnett, Goodman, and Seott, the whig nominees, are elected to the Legislature. Wilkins, W. nominated, is probably elected Clerk. Hickcox, W. (nominated) is closely run by Nelson, lid. whig. Cannot tell which has it. Kinney, whig, beats Loe, whig, for Common Pleas Judge. The chances are in favor of the election of Cunningham Dem., Treasurer, as it now stands. Noble W. (nominated) and Cunningham are running close togother—Cunniugham ahead. Thin is all we can now give—10G0 votes taken at- those polls.

Where do you find th« "substantial and reliable" in Gen. Pierce, who has neither military nor civil displays to back him up? You acknowledge Gen. Scott has a distinguished military history, and some fame in civil affairs, of which his friends can boast but where, oh where do you get any thing substantial and reliable in that great unknown of yours, who was born of a political dilemma of the Baltimore convention—prematurely thrust before the world, because none of your great men would yield to the other.

Congestive Fever.

neculiarhy In the bilious discuses of the West and ith, i» frcqui Sout\i, i» frequent conization of the btooil vfsoeta, particularly in the paroxyum* of intermittent aud remittent of fever. This congestion i« produced by the toss of nervous power »ad the suildcn contrncof the anastomosing surfaces at the e.vtjrmlties, tinw interrupting the free cirrulxtiom of the blood in the veins, allowing it to *cciimuUto in the srtejies until they become gorged,—«nd the more vital parts, as the brain, the lunps and heart become so oppressed that death frequently ensues before au equilibrium can bo established in the circulation between the veins and arteries. No remedies that have evei been tried iiave been so successful iu restoring health to the paUent afflicted with this peculiar condition of bilious fever as Dr. Bragg'* Vegetable Anti-bilions and Tonic Pilla, if they are used promptly, and as directed.

Pr. Bra'ep^s Fever and Apue Pills, and also Ma AntiBilious Pills, have swept everything before them the past season, in the cure of Ague, Bilious and Chill Fevers, and other disesses common fo the west anu south—the mosf flattering accounts reach us every day1 from all quarters, of the astonishing success of these Pills. Those who try them once, make no further use of Sappington's, Champion's, Smith's, or sny other Tonic nils now offered to tbe public. They are iurely vegetable, and never fall to cure, when th« prsnted directions which enclose thein, are followed.

AN EARLY BAIT.—Saranac, a Washington correspondent of the Terre-Haute Journal. intimates, that when Gen. Pierce is President, Indiana will have the Commissioner's place, of the Genernl Land Office. This is to make the faithful fiyht harder to cany the State. Well, if Indiana is to have the Commissioner, wc hope we may have some influence in choosing the man, and if Mr. Willard is beaten, we shall certainly go for him, for he knows how to manage land affairs so as to make the most for his friends. This is nn im* portant consideration, niid if the Journal disputes the statement, we expect to prove it by Dunning and Greene. We invoke the Journals aid in favor of Willurd, of New Albanv. -.
