GOING WEST. WHY ARE YOU ARE YOU WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOU GET THERE? In these days when every young man and woman is smitten with the desire to co to the ends of the earth seeking new things, it is well that a few common sense facts should be repeated, that these crusaders after happiness may not be utterly blind to the other side of the question they solve without reflection. Probably several thousand people whose privilege it is to read the Ohio Farmer are burning with internal fiamn after a change circumstances. Farmers who are getting rich too slow; merchants who are getting poor too fast; aspirants or office whom the people do not yet recognize; ministers a good many years this side a D. lawyers Jn threadbare coats; young men disappointed in love; young women heaving in sight of the desert of old-maidenhood; people who have and are nothing now, but think there is a place where they can gain everything; people who are and have enough now, yet long for more; all these and more, are thinking by day, and laying awake o' nights, and revolving the one thought of a change of situation.

They study the geography of the West; buy a book on California; write letters to the Kansas Emigrant Aid Society; bore every man or woman who has Come from the place they would go to, and treasuring up every tit-bit of encouragement, dismiss the other side with disgust Nobody knows what a fever rages in America on this very themeand we would be glad to see the man this side of-snperannuation who does not intend sometime "to more." Now, "moving" is a great fact in our civilisation; and we are not disposed to ridicule the enterprise of our people; yea, we ourselves hare have survived six months of secret deliberation, and three months of open discord previous to taking an express train from the Puritan thy, one glorious October morning, for God knows where; for, Laving once g'ot adrift we may turn up a Senator from the Sandwich Islands, or a filibuster in Cuba; a missionary to the Southern Arctic Continent, or a private in the though now we abide in the Forest City. But we have learned a trifle by this nrocess and wish to say it in the ear of our hot-headed young Diena, inougn we are sure be or soe will dismiss it, we did the thousand and one predictions of the village and etty gossips who gave us their parting Why mrt you oimgf, Do voukBow Le reasoa oi this eroe desire to raove?

Keep your own phere; do your duty; go to the place best for you; or stay at home, if that is best; and don't fret about humanity, for One has charge of the interests of the race, who can do his own work, and does not need the sacrifice of any man in the vain attempt to fill a post beyond is capacity. What will you do when you get there' Don start till you know. Do you think you can go from Yankeedom, or Buckeyedom, to Texas, or Minnesota, choose your position, be Doctor, Preacher, Lawyer, Politician, Speculator, Saint, or Reprobate as the cafee may be? Stay at borne and pare your mother's apples, or read the Farmer to your blind grandfather, or wait upon your maiden aunt to the sewing society, till you -outgrow this greenness.

A man who thinks he can do any thing in a new country, shows, by his superficial ambition, that he can do nothing well, anywhere. Don't leave the shadow of the paternal roof till you can do some useful thing well. It is easier to learn to work among your old friends, comfort, and peace, than amid the selfish competition, and depressing wants of a new State. When you ean do something in a manly way, go where that is required, and make yourself one of the necessities of the. community in that direction.

Thousands of men "sell all they have, and transport themselves and families to new lands, knowing not what they can do; and when they get there, live- by experimenting on the youthful constitution of the new colony. Be not one of these harpies, but go only to buildup society by-honorable toil, directed by definite aims. The fact is, life is about the same everywhere. The deepest problems of existence, all come to a man to be solved amid the narrowest circle of circumstances. Sorrow, joy, temptation, duty, await us in every -place, and until we have proved ourselves at home, it is madness to run abroad.

We cannot escape Life, we cannot ignore Manhood. There is no prairie, no valley, no California mine, no Western river bank, no city orcountry, sea or 6bore, where we can be men, without daily sweat of the soul, watchfulness, and prayer. After we have-wearied ourselves by running all oves the world, the great business of hfe remains to be done, and till done, all places are indifferent, when done, all places are alike.

The name of this humble individual is immortalized by its connexion with one of the most interesting and important events of our Revolution.

John Champe was sergeant-major of a regiment of horse, known as "The Partisan Legion," and commanded by Major Henry Lee. He was a native of Lon don county, in Virginia, and about twenty-three or twenty-four years of age; had enlisted in 1776; was rather above the common size; full of bone and muscle; with a saturnine countenance grave, thoughtful, and taciturn; of tried courage, and inflexible perseverance. For these qualities of mind and body he was selected by General Washington, on the recommendation of Major Lee, to undertake an enterprise of equaFdanger, difficulty, and importance. ine treason of Arnold had been dis closed by the arrest of Major Andre. 1 I AX A al iw itmi nriHi ui'f i jsi iiHfn piikpl iinrm i nw mind of Washinorton and throughout the anny, heightened by accompanying suspicions that Arnold was nol officer of high station who had listened I to the temptations of the British commander.

Washington was deeply i irouoiea in particular Dy accusations which had been laid before him in writing, against a major-general, in whom he had reposed great confidence; and he deemed it indispensable to obtain confirmation or complete disproof of the charges thus preferred. He was anx ious, moreover, to save the life of Andre, which could only be done by the execution of justice upon Arnold in itself most desirable; and it was to ac complish these three objects that he devised the mission of Sergeant Champe. That mission was to reach the city of New York then in possession of the British as a deserter; communicate with trusty friends of the American cause who had for some time been in correspondence with Washington, and secure the person of Arnold. The dif ficulty and danger of the enterprise were very great; for, besides the risk of detection in the endeavor to seize Arnold, there was thermore fearful hazard of arrest while making his seeming flight from the. American camp.

He must go a deserter incurring both the dan ger and the disgrace of'falschood to his Colors? nJ if de'alh w'ould prbbabTy be His portion. Champe cared little for the danger, it was with some difficulty that he was prevailed on to encounter he temporary disgrace. His scruples, however, were overcome, and, charged by Washington with confidential letters to correspondents in the city, and with strictest orders not to kill Arnold in any event or under any circumstances, he setoff an hour before midnight, taking with him his cloak, valise, and orderly-book. He' had to pass numerous patrols of horse and" foot that were continually passing to and from the stationary outposts; and. the peril was increased by swarms of irregulars that were prowling about in search of booty, pushing their expeditions as far as Paulus Hook.

The flight of Champe was discovered half an hour, and reported to Major Lee. The latter was compelled to order immediate pursuit, but he contrived to make some delay, under various pre texts. NeverthelessChampe had bare an hour the advantage of his pursuers; and the latter were favored by shower that fell soon after he left the camp softening the road, and making tracks of bis horse perceptible. The pursuing party gained sight of Uhampe soon after day-break, at the distance of about half a mile, as they ascended an eminence a few miles north Bergen. Champe saw them too at same moment, and, putting spurs to horse, a chase in view and at top-mosb speed, was commenced and continued until Champe reached the village of Bergen, where he gave up tbe of going to Paulus Hook, and.

resolved to seek refuge on board one of two British gallies which were kept at anchor a few miles west of Bergen. In this he happily succeeded, though so hotly followed, that when he plunged into the water, his pursuers but little more than two hundred yards behind. Making himself known as a deserter, tbe captain of tbe galley, he was immediately to New York, where was favorably received by Sir Henry Clinton, and, after close questioning by Sir Henry Clinton and General Arnold, respecting the situation and prospects of ADdre the feelings prera in the American army the probability of disaffection, among the troops officers and many other points of interest, as to all which be answered great tact, and sagacity be. was dismissed with a gratuity, and invited to enlist in Arnold's legion.

Washington hoped and expected that the trial would occupy so much time as would suffice for the delivery of Arnold -into bis hands; nut Andre at once avowed all that was to be proved against him, and his conviction of course followed immediately on the seconcLof October. Circumstances ana the usages of war made it imperative that the execution should be prompt; and he suffered on the third.

Champe's design upon Arnold was frustrated by what may almost be called an accident. It was tbe traitor's invariable custom to walk in. the garden attached to Lis quarters, before he retired to rest generally about midnight. This garden adjoined a narrow alley; and Champe had taken off the pailings from the garden fence, replacing them so loosely that they could be. removed in a moment.

He designed, with the aid of an associate whom he had se cured, to seize Arnold in the garden. Major Lee was notified to be in post at Hoboken with a party of dragoons, and horses for Arnold and his captors. Unfortunately, on the very day preceding the night agreed on, Arnold changed his quarters, for the greater convenience of superintending the embarkation of some troops for an expedition of which be was to have the command; and Champe himself, with the legion he had joined, was tent on board one of the transports. Lee therefore had his midnight ride and watch in vain, and the traitor escaped the doom that was prepared for him to suffer perhaps a worse punishment in the contempt and obscurity that attended his after years in jigland Champe was taken to Virginia, and found no opportunity of re-joining the array of his country until after the junction of Lord Cornwallis and General Phillips, at Petersburg. He was re ceived by his former associates of the Partisan Legion with equal surprise and displeasure; but the truth of his story was quickly known, and won for him unmingled respect and admiration.

Being presented by Lee to General Greene, that g-" -korsand money for his' journeyTand sent him to General Washington, by whom he was liberally rewarded, and granted an hoaorable discharge from the service, lest, in the vicissitudes of war, he should fall, into the bands of the British, and be recognized: in which event he would be sure to undergo the doom he had endeavored to secure for the trailor Arnold. He settled in Loudon county, but removed thence, after some years, Kentucky, and there died. it he be the New York THE KISSANE EVIDENCE! Findley was put on the stand. Mr. Bustecd objected to this.

His objection was overruled by the fact that Findley had plead guilty to the indictment. Findley described the whole plan of operations. After Kissane, Findley and Cole had come in possession of the genuine ebecks on Very Gwynne, and John Thompson, they worked for a number of days in imitating the filling up of the check to perfection. Kissane did the writing, Findley the running about and outside work; Cole planned, and was a sort of overseer. Before Findley personated Jhe drover, Kissane posted him up in the pork business, and of those in it, after he had learned this, Findley introduced himself to Cole, who personited Mr.

Van Brunt. Mr. Van Brunt (Cole) asked the price of hogs in Kentucky, Cincinnati ana Buf falo, and how Mr. so snd so out West, were getting on. Kissane prompted him till he was perfect, in the part he had to play.

Mr. Van Brunt (Cole) introduced him to the teller of the Chemical Bank. (Mr. Kissane,) and after they had perfected themselves in this, they fill ud the genuine checks they had procured from Nathan, Lane A Co. Findley introduces himself to Mr.

Van Brunt, and Mr. Van Brunt to Mr. Parsons. The money is obtained, and the trio start for Cincinnati. Kissane appears to sit on nettles, but Cole is as cool as a cucumber.
