 squared himselfin a line martial style, H lien sud
 derily a cannon ball struck him in the breast, pas-

sed through liirn.and he fell dead,without agroari.
Lieutenant Yarnell, oftlie Lawrence, behaved
r throughout withgrear bravery and coolness.-—
2 He was dressed as acornmon seaman, a red ban-
» danna handkercliief was tied round his neck,and
I another round his head, to staunch two wounds
he had received. From these the blood trickled
 down his face, and a splinter having passed
tl-ii-ougli his rinse, it had swelled. to a hideous
.» magnitude. In this frightful plight, looking
like the very genius of carriage and illluck, he
came up to Perry. in the hottest and bloodiest of
the fight, and announced to him that all the offi-
cers of his division were killed. Perry ordered
others in their place. Shortly after Yarnall re-
turned with a repetition of the dismal tidings,
that all the officers were shot down ; ‘then sir,’
said Perry, ‘ you must endeavor to make out by
yourself. Iliave no more to furnish you 1’

One circumstance which Perry relates, de-
serves particular attention. It has in it some-
1' thing of sentiment that is above common life.
i” and absolutely belongs to poetry._ VVlien, in the
i sweeping havoc that was sometimes made, a

number of men were shot away from around a
i‘_ gun, the survivors looked silently round to Perry,
 and then stepped into their places. \Vhenever

and weltering on the deck, he always found t/it-z'r
jaces turned towards /rim, and their eyes fixed on

heighten the simple and affcciing eloquence of
this anccdo'.e.—-It speaks volumes in praise of
the heroism of the commander, and tl1c_luyal'af-
fection of his followers.

having raised a part of his regirlient, marched to
New-Haverr to carry into exec tion a plan pro-
jected for the‘ surprisal and dest ‘uction of a part
of the enemy at Sag-Harbor, on Long‘-Island.
wliere large quantities of stores and forage had
been collected for the army at I\'ew- York ; the
account of which is given in Ma:tsliall’s Life of
Washington, as follows : "
‘ General Parsons erttrusted llli execution of
this plan to Col. Meigs, a very galltlirt ofiicer,who
had accompaiiie-dArriold in his merripr able march

Not ing can exceed the fertility of the soil.
Trees plants, and vegetables have an astonish-
ingly? pid and lu,xuriant growth-. It was relat-
ed asp fact, that in the garden of an -English
gentleman at Sierra Leone, a grape vine in nine
days after it was planted. contained a ‘cluster of
grapes distinctly formed. Corn and grain are
found to thrive well, and cotton and coffee grow
spontaneously, the former in such abundance as
to he considered a nuisance.‘ lt is the opinion of
the agent, that a colony might not only sustain
itself, but become rich by proper managenreni.

it has been tlrinnr,-d oil‘ by an annual decrease of

tiers of Slave-ships, belonging to the most civiliz-

againsi which the expedition was in part direct-
ed; but they had ritarclred to New-Yot‘lc two
days before. 1
‘Here, however, information was received that
the stores had not been removed from Sag liar-
bor, which lies in the nortliern division the
lslarrd,and that a small guard still remained there
for their defence. The boats were inimediatcly
conveyed across lllr. land a olistancc of about 15
iniles, into the buy, landed within four miles of
Sag Harbor, at 2 o’clock in the morning; which
place they ccmpletely surprised,and carried with
fixed bayunets. At the same time a divisioiiof
the detacliiiicrrt secured the armed schooner and
the vessels, with the forage which had been col-
lected for the supply of the army at New-York.
These brigs and sloops, twelve in number, were
set oti fire and entirely coiistrmedf Six of rlfq
'ei.icriiy were killed and ninety of them taken pris'
oners. A very few of them escaped under cover‘-
of the rriglit; having thus completely effected‘
the object ofthe expedition, without the loss ofa
single nran, and having moved with such uncom-
nron cclerity, as to have transported his men by
land and water 90 miles in 25 hours.

‘ As a mark oftheir approbation of his conduct,
Congress directed a sword to be presented to
him, and passed a resolution exprt ssive oftheir
high sense entertained of his merit, and of the
prudence, activity, and valor displayed by him-
Self and his party, in this expedition.’

In l779, Col. Mcigs comrnaiitlcd one of the re-
giments which stormed and carried Stony Point,
under General Wayne.

He was one or the first settlers of the wilder-
ness which has become the state of Ohio ; hav-
ing landed at the confluence of the Ohio and
Muskingliam rivers, with the earliest emigrants.
A government for the North Western Territory
had been prepared, by an ordinance of the Coir-
gress of 1787. Governor St. Clairand the Judg-
es of the Territory had not arrived. The emi-
grants were without civil laws orcivil authority.
Col. Meigs drew up a concise system of regula-
tions, which were agreed to by the ernigraiits,
as the rule of conduct and preseivatioiis, until
the proper authority should arrive. To give
these regulations publicity, a large oak, standing
near the confluence of the rivers, was selected
from which the bar-k was cut off, or sufficient
space to attach the sheet, on which the regula-
tions were written—-and they were. beneficially
adhered to until the civil 'clulllOlI'.lt:5 arrived.
"l his venerable oak was to the emigrants, more
useful, and as frequently consulted, as the Ora-
cle of ancient Delphi, by its votaries.

During a long flit: of activity and usefulness,
no man ever sustained a character nrore irre-
proachable than Co|.Meigs. He was a patertn of
excellence as a patriot, a philanthropist, and a
Christian. In all the vicissitudes of fortune, the
duties of religion were strictly observed, and its
precepts strikingly exemplified. The latter part
of his life was devoted to the amelioration of the
condition of the aborigines of the country, for
which purpose he accepted the Agency of the
Cherokee station ; and in the discharge of duties
he inspired the highest degree of confidence in
that nation by whom he was emphatically de-
nominated * 1/re W/rite Pat/r.’ In all cases, they
revered him as their father, and obeyed his coun-
cilsas an unerring guide.

His death is a loss to the country, and espc~
cially to that nation. l-lis remains were interred
with the honors of war, amidst a concourse ol
sincere friends, and in the aiiguisli of undisseiii-
bled sorrow. His death was serenely happy in
the assurance of Clirisrian hope.

FROM THE EDITOR OF'l‘l-115 N.YORK S'l‘AT£SMAItl.

VVASHINGTON, JAN. 28.

Iliad the pleasure of passing two or three
hours last evening in company with Dr. Ayres,
the agent ofthe colony at the mouth ofthe river
.Mess_ut‘a(l0 in Africa. He imparted to me much
interesting information, relative to this infant
settlement, a sketch ofwliich may be acceptable
to our readers. Dr. Ayres has resided there for
some time, and is perfectly acquainted with the
afi'airs ol the colony from its origin, and with its
prospect of success.

The mouth ofthe Messurado is in six degrees
of north latitude, and about two hundred miles
south ofthe English colony at Sierra Leone. The
climate is said to be by no means tnsalubrious,
the mercury never rising at the hottest seasons
so high as 90, and at evening ranging from 70
to 80. My informant states that the weather
was warmer at New-York, both when he left and
when he returned, than he found it any time
during his absence. He never slept without
blankets upon his bed, which he uniformly foutid
grateful towards morning. At noon-day the sun
is selrlt-rm visible, being obscured by vapor. Dr.

sent, however, it is little else than a field ol strat-
agent, plunder, and cruelty, where man is hunt-
ed by his lt.llUW man, and the soil steeped in the
tears and blood of the slave. There are at pre-
sent in the town no more thanabout thirty lions-
es ; but preparations are now actively making to
augment the number and strength of the colony.
Dr. Ayres will sail from Baltiiirore in about-two

'=.monll‘rs, with an accession of severity or eighty
new settlers, who are all free persons of color.’

He has as many engaged as the vessel will ac-
cotiiniotlate, and nutrierous applications have
been refused. Persons of color in and about
Pliiladelphia, contemplate fi:iirig out another-
ship expressly for the purpose of transporting
those, who may wishto join the colony and set-
tlein the land of l.lrt:il“=_ftttllct‘S. The whole ex-
pense of forming this lsettlement is defrayed by
the voluntary coritr-ibustions of wealthy blacks.
and philanthropic individuals who are the frierids
of this unfortunate race. It is supposed that
funds will be supplied from these sources. suffi-
cient for all the purposes for which they will
be needed. ,

Several important collsrqirences are anticipa-
ted from this colony. ;In the first place it will
have a salutary effect in ‘checking the horrors of
the slave trade, by affording protection to the in-
habitants of this part of Africa, against factors
and bush-nien. Secondly, it will produce an a-
nieliorution of the coirditioo of the natives, by
introducing among them ngriculture and the
arts, and attracting their attention to these peace-
ful pursuits. Tlrirdly, it will secure a free re-
fuge for free blacks froth this corintiy, who are
aiiriually becorning more and more rrumerous.
and who have not the mantis of gaining a liveli-
hood; This consideratiorr is of great importance
as well to the U. States as to persons of color
themselves. The black poptrlatioir is fast gain-
ing upon the white, and it is yet a problem what
shall be done with the surplus, or what will bc
the event if it be not removed from our country.
Dr. Ayres thinks there are r.—.dical defects in
the governnreni and management of the settle-
merits of blacks at Sierra Leone. The colonial
policy of England of rendering- her tributaries
subservient to her commercial interests. is too
rigidly enfrir-cledii She-has always etideuvorcd to
keep her colonies weak and entirely dependent
on the mother country for protection and support,
lll'SllOl't, to act the part of the severe step-rnoth-
er towards her children._ This system has been
adopted and enforced in the goveromeiit of Sier-
ra Leone. No pains have been taken to diffusc
intelligcnce among the neighboring tribes, to
proruote a spirit of enterprize or to encourage
the iritroduction ofthe arts and agricultural ptrr
suits. As an evidence of this, it is stated that
the use of the plough is entirely unknown in the
colony, and the soil is cultivated ctllircly by mari-
ual labor‘. At first thought this world seem to
be a blind policy -, btrt it is found that the corn-
incrce of England derives more benefit from a
lucrative trade in the co_mmodities of Africa,
than it could from the agricultural products of
the country if ever so well-cultivatetl. A differ-
ent course will be purjs u“ed‘_in the American col-
ony, and it will he the object of its superiri:errtl-
cuts to designate and extent] the spirit, freedom,
and enterprize of our own iustitutioris.
