The House having resumed the consideration of the resolution respecting Military Pensions Mr.

Burges rose, and withdrew his amendment, not wish-ing, ho said, to appear opposed to giving any thing to the Militia of the Revolution, though for the reasons already assigned, ho thought the plan impracticable. The question was then taken on the original resolution, as modified by Mr. Williams, and decided in the affirmative by yeas and nays 110 to 39. Mr. Wicklifib submitted a resolution, instructing a committee to inquire into and report some regulation by which accidents on board vf steam-boats, from the explosion of boilers, may be prevented.

'Temperance Meeting, Tho Bennington County Temperance Society held a meeting at Bennington on the 14th inst.

The meeting was called to order by Doct. Swift, ono of the Vice Presidents of the Xf Society, and opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Manchester. An Address was then pronounced by Mr.

Brown, of the Bennington Seminary after which the following resolutions were passed, viz. On motion of Rev. Mr. Anderson, "Resolved, that as a society in connexion with the American Temperance Sociv ety, wo claim the right of pursuing our object in the use of that freedom given to every citizen of the country by the constitution." On motion of Rev. Mr.

Brownson, "Resolved, that the thanks of this Society be presented to Mr. Brown for his Address also, that he be requested to furnish a copy of the same for publication in tho papers of this county." The Society left it with the Executive Committee to fix the time and place for the next meeting also, to select a speaker. About forty names were added to the list of subscrilers. C. W.

II. "In this state only twenty-two removals have taken place out of about two-hundred Post Offices, which is less than two to a county. Many of the changes made were to reinstate individuals who had been ejected from office during the presidency cf Mr. Adams, because they were found in the ranks of the people in opposition to his second election." The above extract is from the Woodstock Observer. Will our friend Fellows be kind enough to point out a single instance where Mr.

Adams ejected a Postmaster from office on account of his political opinions 1 We only ask for information. Friend Fellows and ourself went hand in hand in advocating the re-election of Mr. Adams and as he has now passed to the shades of private life, we see not on what principle of honor or justice either of us can now wrongfully traduce his political fame. Defeat of the French at Madagascar. Accounts hud reached the Mauritius of tho repulse of the French squadron, in an attack upon Foul Point, in the Inland of Madagascar, with the loss of thirty kill- ed, among whom as the Commandant of the French settlement, at St.

Marie. This result excited much surprise at the Mauritius, as it was supposed from the'knowi) defenceless condition of Foul Point, that a successful resistance could not have been offered to any attack supported by heavily armed ships. It was therefore conjectured that the French must, in the first instance, have effected a landing, and that they had been defeated in attempting to penetrate into tho interior of the country. No doubt, however, was entertained of their having been defeated, hether upon landing, or in there subsequent progress, as dead bodies of French troops were seen scattered upon the beach at Foul Point, from which the heads had been cut off, and stuck upon high poles. An attempt was made on the night of the 15th inst.

to rob the Yincennes mail, a short distance above Hindostan, Indiana. The rider was struck with a club the blow injured his face, but did not bring him from the horse he was riding. It is said there were three fellows in the gang, and that they succeeded in getting hold of the reins of the drove horse, as well as those of the horse on which the carrier rode, at the same instant. The blow received by. the rider frightened both horses, and they broke loose from tho ruffians before they could get possession of the mail or rider.

This is, believe, the first attempt to rob the mail that was ever made in Indiana. On Sunday, a scene of a novel description took laee in the church at Newark. Tho Vicar as publishing the banns between James Wardbeck and Jane Kenny, when a young woman, Kllen Watson, of Newark, stood up, and with the lungs of a stentor pronounced, I forbid that in this church, and in all others9 to tho surprise of the whole congregation. Upon being questioned by the Vicar, she went into the vestry, where she stated that her pleas were first, that Wardbeck had before promised her marriage and secondly, that he was a married man, and his wife was now living. Loud Talking.

Some people have a habit of talking, even when uninipas-sioiied by any exciting interest in the subject of their discourse, bawling the most trifling remarks into one's car as if the hole universe was deaf. There was a family in Litchfield by the name of Gibbs pre-eminent for tone, who talked to a man at their elbow with such exertion of lungs that they might Im? heard a mile off. A Mr. MWlruff, who had accompanied Cook round the globe, once remarked in presence of a Gibbs that be had been opposite to Litchfield on the other side ot the earth. Why why said Gibbs, whq was somewhat ignorant, How did you know thatl" "How! why, I heard the Gibbscs hallo." Last of the Mohawks.

Major Mellville who was recently snpercceded in office of Naval Officer of the port of Boston, is said to be tho only surviving revolutionary patriot ho was engaged in the tea chest affair. AW. Jour We believe Maj. Mellville is not the last of the Mohawks. Capt.

Benj. Rice, ofthistoVn, we have understood was one of the Mohawks who threw the tea overboard. We think there are others still living. Hill Aura excellence to see a little fellow like the Editor of tho Rutland Herald, put on such airs of profound importance, and mistake himself for a man of consequence. True, he has had the fortune to crawl into the editorial chair, and he becomes it about as well as a monkey would the pulpit.

Ih an editor 1 not he. He is hardly an apology for ono why fellow hardly knowsenough to keep outof the fire. To meddle with him is like stirring up a dish of skimmed milk a dirty job, forsooth-the quicker tis done, the better. The fellow alluded to, last week discharged at us another volley of dirty wa ter. After saying many things which he thought, as every other blockhead thinks, most marvellously witty, he wound off by telling us that unless we came on to his own ground; unless we consented to be weighed by his standard of a gentleman (that is, unless we consented to become as mean as ho should not only pass us by "in silence and contempt," but should hand us over to the care of his 1, "to be treated in his own way." No doubt either his 1 or his roller boy possesses more wit than does their querulous master but that they may have imbibed no small share of his meanness, we infer from the fact that one of the inmates of our office has received letters containing blank paper, sent from a source which cannot be doubted, with no other view than to subject him to postage.

"Thereby hangs a tale." The disposition manifested by the Her ald-fellow, to 'creep out of this contest, which was assuredly one of his own choo sing, reminds us of somo other circum stances in real life. Many a time have we seen a little hiffet cur come out and bark most lustily at the heels of the passerby but after receiving a merited flagel lation for his impudence, glad was he to sneak away again to his hiding place. So with him of the Herald he barked at us most courageously during our recess from the editorial chair accused us of Jackson-ism dragged our private affairs before the public and then lied about them and tal-1 ked as large, and tried to look as large, as Boiubastes Furioso himself. But now mark the difference. No sooner had he began to receive his deserts at our hands, than all his boasted courage faded away like mist before the morning sun, and glad Was he to call on his own 1" for help.

He may do as he pleases he may sneak behind his 1" or behind his own lies; neither will avail him our gript is ujnn him and we shall not loosen that gripe until we have paid him up in full (not in his own coin,) for his meanness and his insolence. The Herald-editor may talk about de cency as much as he chooses he knows as little of the term as he does of truth. When he shall show himself worthy to be called a gentleman, then and then only shall we treat him as such. We certainly owe an apology to our readers in this quarter, for devoting so much space to this who, we acknowledge, is scarcely fit to be handled with the tongs. It is for our old friends and patrons, among whom he is now dis tributing his filth, to judge between us.

It is them he has accused us of giving "an indiscriminate greeting." It is them win, by adding thcif names to our subscription list, are daily giving testimony that that accusation is a base and scandalous falsehood. The Cook and the Tulor at Bellows- Falls, arc out upon us again. The one has let his pot boil over, and the other has cahbagtd enough from the sayings of a "wise man" to last him a twelvemonth. Would you believe it, reader, these fellows who have been in the editorial chair about as many months as we have years, have undertaken to give us a lesson on the manner in which we ought to conduct our paper! Sensible chaps. The llrpublican I members of the N.

Y. Legislature know how to take time by tho forelock. They held a caucus on the 13th inst. and nominated Andrew Jackson for re-election to the Presidency. It would have been a great saving of time bad they nominated candidates enough to last alt the ay down to 1000.

We wonder how many times Mr. Purdy has told the world that he can "commit remarks to typo without writing them," since he has been an editor! Anti-decent Republican, Answer. Once, "We wonder how many" decent things Barber has said since he has been an editor1! A Baeholoiy Club has been formed jn Mt Holly, J. We are at a loss to de termine what deprives of membership as we observe in the same paper that con tains an account of tho formation of the club, a notice of the marriage of the sec retary. Trav.

The Chamber of Deputies presented "op position" candidates to the king, out of which he was to appoint a President Collard was the person selected. The Deputies (elected by the people,) would not join with the Peers in echoing the king's speech, but presented an answer which was deemed "highly factious," The king returned a short but spirited re ply. "I have, said he, already announ ced my intentions in my speech. They are immutable my ministers will com municate my intentions to you." Thb king, next day, prorogued both the Cham hers until September decicive act caused great excitement at Paris. "It were belter," said the king, "that I should mount my horse than to mount the lie remembered the fate of the unfortun ate Louis XVI.

It would require but ve ry little of the spirit that animated the French people in the days of the revolution, to blow this excitement into a flume. It is with pleasure that we occasionally throw by the political newspapers of the day, to enjoy a 'feast of reason1 in perusing those that bear a more decided literary character. Among these, we say it with less of pride for our sex than of truth for the credit of the other none are more deserving of attention than those conducted by female writers. Glad re we that the female sphere urn its full share of mental endowments. We have often re marked that hnr woman docs possess ht talent for uig, her productions are style and purity of sentiment whife the themes selected by this class of writers, show to equal advantage the fertility of their imaginations, and their correct con- ception of the secret springs of human aa- tion, passion, and sympathy.

Open as the female mind is to every generous sentiment, and retentive as it is of those feel-! ings hich spring from a high and lofty 1 sense cf incorruptible purity, it can never be debased by vice so long as the calm light of virtue shines upon it through the chastening influence of mental qualifica tions. The moral influence of women is not less extensive than salutary. They alone can impart a zest to the joys of the domestic fireside they alone can give a tone to the endearments of home they alone can soothe and soften down the rougher asperities of the mind and the heart. Nor is their influence less upon society at large. Who then can look upon the present ad- vanccjl stage of female literature, without wishing it a success commensurate with the influence it is calculated to exert 1 Who can look upon it, and not wish to sec it grow in unalloyed luxuriance, until it shall "exhibit in one glow of associated beauty, the pride of every model, and the perfection of every A minister in Middlebury complains that a fellow gave him only one dollar for travelling ten or twelve miles through the mud to tie the connubial knot.

Now the fellow may have been mean enough but a minister of Uie gospel ho could complain publicly about it through the news papers, is to our mind, not a trifle meaner itill. Purdv promises that he will not be the slave of any political party. He will find it a bard promise to keep but let him try. We want more political pa pers of that stamp so rich in information and thought that none can read them without growing wiser so pure and elevated in sentiment that none can read them without being made better; and so courteous in stylo that none can read without loving and imitating. Mr.

Purdy must work hard to do the thing, and so must any one. But let him try. It is an ob ject worthy bis highest ambition Thus speaks the talented editor of the Vermont Chronicle. We acknowledge the justness of his remarks; we acknowledge that the task we have to perform is arduous in the extreme; and that if we escape the prejudices and passions of an exclusive party spirit, it may, pcr-ha, be attributed more to our good fortune than to any other cause. Still we intend to show hat an independent newspaper can be.

Of all species of fawning, that is the most abject and servile which creeps into a public newspaper, and subjects it entirely to the control of party discipline. And yet how many of our public journals are free from this reproach 1 We understand the Franklin steamer has commenced running its regular trip! on Lake Champlain, STANZAS.

For an extent of nearly fifty Lnghsh miles, Jrom JMsenach to Fulda, carcasses of dead and dying horses without number, dead bodies of men, who had been either killed or perished through hunger, sickness or fatigue, lying on the roads or in the ditches parties of prisoners and stragglers brought in by the Cossack blown up or destroyed a munition and baggage wagons, in such numbers as absolutely to obstruct the mad, sufficiently attested the sufferings of Die enemy whilst pillaged and burning towns villages marked at the same time the ferocity with which he had conducted himself. The number of dead bodies on the road had been considerably augmented, from a resolution that had been taken to carry off all the sick and wounded not resulting surely from any principle of humanity, but probably as matter of boast in the relations that might be given to the world of the event, as several of these men were found abandoned on the road in the last gasp of hunger and disease the dead and the dying were frequently mixed together, lying in groups of six or eight, by half extinguish- ed fires on the road side.

Several of these men must have bee compelled to move on foot, as their bodies were found on the road with the sticks with which they had endeavored to support their march, lying by their sides. The dead might have been counted by hundreds and in the space from Eisenach to Fulda could certainly not have amounted to much less than a thousand. The enemy con-timied to bo closely pursued during the three day's march from Eisenach to Vach iloueftely and Fulda, and frequently cannonading ensued at the head of the advanced guard but the nature of the country not jHTmitting the cavalry to act, the enemy escaped with only such losses as have been enumerated. Editors. Apart from the proud name of Franklin, we know that Mr, "Wilson, of New Jersey, editor of a newspaper, was long a Senator in Congress and Post Master of Trenton.

William Duane was a Colonel in the army of the United States onJ is at present Prothonotnry of the Court in Philadelphia. Mr. Flag, Secretary of State of New -York, was the editor of a country paper at the time of his appointment. Mr. Wheaton, Charge cles Affaires to Denmark, was editor of the National Advocate during the last war.

Xr. Pincknry, of the Charleston Mercury is Mayor of that city, and Mr. Gales, of the Intelligencer, is Mayor of Washington. Innumerable instances may he quoted of the advancement of editors to places of honor and profit, and we call upon the public to point out a solitary inMance here their appointment to office has been injurious to the cause of liberty.

ple interesting themselves in respect to the proposed Seminary. The inquiries which they have proposed are seasonable, proper and important. They are seasonable for the time of the meeting of the Trustees is near at hand, when it is expected that measures will be adopted, upon the success of which, the establishment of the Seminary will depend. If, then, it is expected that the People are to cooperate with the Trustees, in carrying their plans into effect, they certainly ought to know, and know before hand, what is expected of them, and the reasons why they should exert themselves to accomplish the object proposed. There is also a great propriety in these questions.

They are questions which, if properly answered, will correct mistaken views in respect to the character of the Seminary, and will show the People the influence which the institution will be adapted to exert upon them, upon their children, and the community at large. But while it is evident that these questions are seasonable and proper, it is equally evident that they are important. The proposal to establish a Seminary for the instruction of youth in any place, is in fact a matter of much greater importance than the people generally suppose. Having never had such a Seminary in their vicinity or immediate neighborhood, they cannot know any thing of its probable influence, except as they infer this by reasoning from its nature and its general plan or by inquiring respecting the influence of similar seminaries in tlio.se places where they have been established. But such reasoning is very imperfect, and such inquiries are very seldom made.

Hence, when you propose a thing of this kind to a people, you find but very few of them prepared to form any just estimate of its influence or results. I Now, then, if such a Seminary as is proposed to be established in this town, will be adapted to exert a very salutary influence upon this people upon the vi cinity around us find upon the Church cf Christ it is important that this fact should be known. Let, then, the People have the information they ask for let them know what is their interest in this Seminary let them reason and inquire on the subject themselves. Calculate the cost of educating their children abroad, and tho advantages which, in every point of view will be derived from the establishment of a Seminary here, and they must sec, and will sec, that now is a time to exert them selves that now they may lay the foundations of many generations, in respect to education, in this town and in this vicinity that now they can open the way to the fountains of wisdom and knowledge, and cause a long, deep and steady flow of their healing waters to bless and fertilize the land. Since writing tho above, your paper of tho 13th has come in, and I perceive that I have one already before me in the field, engaged in answering the "inquiries" of "The People." This I am happy to sec, and hope that there will yet be others rea dy to enlist in the same good cause.

It may here be proper to remark that the inquiries originally proposed, were I. "What is to be the character of the contemplated institution scientific, litera ry and religious II. What advantages ill it hold out to our yotith of all classes 1 and III. What will be its probable influence on the great interests of the community 1 The remarks of 'Cato in your last paper, have, I trust, sharpened the desires of the People to have their questions answered. He has presented "facts and reasoning" which go to show that vtme-thing is wanting to create a taste for rca- ding, to produce a tnirst lor Knowledge, to fue tho youthful mind with the ardor of high pursuits, and to enlist their energies in fields where true glory can be won.

That the proposed Seminary ill be a- daptcd to bring about that "Eew state of things" in regard to education, and the direction of the public taste in respect to rending, literature, and general science, which appears from the remarks of 'Cato and our own observation to be extremely desirable, I think can easily be made to appear. hue, tncrelorc, musi now leave the People to ponder these things another week, I hope in my next to pur sue the 'inquiries in relation to this sub ject, more in order and without, by any means, expecting to exhaust the subject, or ishing to exclude others from presenting their views upon it, shall endeavor to offer some considerations which shall tend not only to satisfy the People that the object is'a good one, but enlist their interests and efforts to carry it into effect.
