THE ‘BATTLE OF BRANDYWINE.
AN EXTRACT.
The battle of Brandywine was fought on,
the llth of Septeiu‘b_er,V-1777; and lasted all
the day long. It was a bloody affair to its,
and had well nigh'been'fatal to ‘Greene. and
Sullivan.
VVe had been in the saddle about4 hours,-
under the intrepid:Pulaski, who,with his own
hand, examined our points,,pistols, and other
f_urniture,as ifassured that the struggle would
be a "deadly and long continued one. The
day was one of the most beautiful that ever
broke over the earth. We were about half a
mile fr. the main body ranged along a green
slope, facing the west ; our horses, in number
about four hundred, standing as_ patiently as
so many marble creature-s—until just as the
eastern sky began to redden and undulate ;—
and cloud after cloud to roll up and heave,
like a great curtain upon the wind.-; and the,
wliole heaven seemed discliargingall iisbean-
tyand brightness upon one spot—I happened
to turn about and saw the tall Pole bearhead-
ed, tilting his horse, like some warlike pres-
ence coiue up out of the solid earth, to wor-
ship upon the very summit ofthe hill, behind
us ; it might be-—l'or the noble carriage ofthe
man, the martial bearing ofthe soldier,would-
permit either interpretation-—itmight be, in
the awful employment of devoiion——or—iu
the more eartliward one, of martial observa-
tion.-—'But, suddenly, he reined up his char-
ger, shook the heavy dew fr. his horsenian’s
t:ap—replaced it, and leaped headlong down
the hill,just as a bright flash passed away on
the horizon, followed by a loud report ; and
the next moment a part of our ranks were
covered with dust 82 tiirftlirown up by a can-
non-ball that struck witliiii.l.0,0.yards of-tlie
place that he had just left. Our horsesprick-'
ed up their ears at the sound ;and all at once
asif a hundred trumpets were -playing in the
wind, came the enemy in his advance.
Pulaski unsheatlied his sword-—called out
a select body, and set offat afull -gallop to a
more distant elevation, where he saw the en-
emy advancing in two columns ; one, under
-Knyphausen, which moved in treinendous
steadiness, like a dark solid mass, in a direc-
tion towards Maxwell ;ilie ot-lier,iinder Corn-
wallis, which seemed to threaten the right
flank ofour main .body. Intelligence was im-
-niediately "sent Wasliingtorirbz. reinlorcenieiits
.called in, from the'house that we had left.
Wekept our position, awaiting for a whole
,hour the sound of conflict ; at last a heavy
volley rattled along the sky—a few moments
passed and then another follow-ed,like a storm
of iron upon drum heads. The whole air
mug with it ; another. and another followed,
and then gradually increasing in loudness,
-came peal after peal upon us, till it resembledl
one continual clap of thunder, rolling about
.-tinder an illuriiinaite‘tl'.v'apor.
Brit Pulaski, with allhis iriipetuosity, was a
general ;T8z. knew his duty to well too-hazard
.any rriovenient till we should -be able to see
with certainty theoperation of the enemy in
"the vapour below. -Meanwliile, -several little
parties that we had sent out,‘ came in, one af-
'ter the other, in ' fullgallop, with the intelli-
'gence that Knyphausenliad broken down up-:
-on Maxwell in magnificent style-'-- been beaten
?back again ; but, that he hadfinally prevailed,‘
-and that Maxwell had retreated across the
-river. Athin vaportnow rose frorii the green:
'eartli belotvus, and completely covered the
‘ enemy from our view. It-wasuc longer pos-.
sible to follow him, except’ by the sound ofhis
‘tread, which "we could feel in the solid earth,-
jarring ourselves $1. our horses; and now and
*siandard was raisedabove it--some weapon
like a rocket‘.
About an hour after, a horseman dashed
through the smoke, on the very ‘verge of the
'Il0l'lZOn-—all(l after scouring the fields for a
whole mile, within view, eon unicated with
directions—oue to us, with orders to hurry’
down to t-he ford, where the comrnandcr-iin
chief tvas determined to fall upon Ki-iyphausen
with all his power, before Cornwallis could
-C0l_l)C to his aid.
It was a noble but hazardous game: And
Pulaski, whose war horse literally tliiindered
and lightened along the broken 253 stony pre-
cipice, by which we descended, kept hiseyes
warily to the right, as if not quite certain‘ that
the order would -not be counterrnaiided.
V\ e soon fell in with Gi1eene,wl.o ivaspost-
i-ug, all on fire, to-give Knyphausen battle ;-—-
aud,‘tlie next riioriierit, saw Sullivan in full
march, over a distant hill, (upon which the
morning sun broke oiitjust then, as ifleaving
‘the heavens for a'wliile,)to the enemy’s flank.
This arrangement would have been fatal
to Knyphaiisen ;- but uuluckil-y there was a
stop put to it alinost in the very moment when
we were ready to fall upon him, man and
horse,by the alarming intelligcnce,iliat Corn-
wallis had moved oil? to-another quarter.—
'.l‘here wasa nrouicnt of7irresolution—-doubt.
It was the death ofus-. (:‘r-reene wasr-ecalledi;

he wheeled" where he was--dasherlduwn the
t bank——his face .wliit'e as the bleached marble

such a tremendous impulse that they marched
four miles in forty minutes ; we held on our

in disorder, nearly a mile from -thejeld, re-
treating, step by step, at the head of his men,
- and shouting himself lioarse—covered with
blood 81. sweat ; and striving, in vain,to bring
them to a stand—-whileCoriiwallis was pouring
in upon them an incessant volley.
Pulaski dashed out to the right, over the
broken fences ;and there stood awhile.upright
in his stirrups,reconnniteriug—wliile the ene-
. rny,wlio appeared by the smoke and dust that
rolled before them in the wind, to be much
nearer than they really were, rcdoubled their
efforts ; but. at last, he saw a favorable oppor-
tunity. The column wheeled—the wind’
swept athwart their van, revealing them, like
a battalion ofspirits,breathing fire and smoke:
he gave the signal—-Archibald repeated it-
Arthtir—-aud myself. In three minutes, we
were ready for the tvord ; and, when «Pulaski,
shouting in a -voice that thrilled through and
through us, struck spurs to his charger, it was
halfa niinute~—so fierce and terrible was his
charge-—before wewere able to come up with
him. What could lie mean ! gracious heaven!
my hand, convulsively, like that ofa drowing
man, reined tip for a moment-—ivhen I saw
that we were galloping straight forward, into
a field of bayonets-—yet he was the first man!
and who would not have followed him! we
did follow him, and with such a hurricane of
fire and steel, that, when we wheeled, our
whole path lay broad and open before us,witli
a wall offire upon the right hand arid the left
—but not a bayonet nor a blade in front, ex-
cept what were under the lioofs ofour horses.
My-blood rushes now, like a dash of fire,tliro’
my forehead, when I recal the devastation
that we had made--alniost to the very heart
of the ericmy’s column. But Pulaski—lie,
who afterwards rode in their emrenchmenls.
on horseback, sword in iraud,was accustomed
to it; and, having broken over them once-
aware of hisperil, if he should give them Iiine
to awake from their consternation, he wheel-
-ed in a blade of fire, with the intention of re-
turning, through a wall of death, rtiore peril-
_.ous than that which shut in the children of
-Israel, upon the Red sea—but no! the walls
-had rolled in upon us, and we were left no
choice, but to continue as we hail begun. The
undau med Pole noted in the excess of Jo ' ;
.1 remember how he passed me, again and a-
gain, reeking with blood-—r'iding, absolutely
upon the very bayonets of the enemy; and
at last, as they pressed upon liim—-and horse-
man after horseman fell from .oiir saddles——
when we were all faint—and feeble, and even

titul mare,\vitli Arthur battling over his head,
we lieardthe cry of succour.’ succour.’ and
felt the enemy give way--heave,this way and ’
that, and finally concentrate beyond its :——*
' Once more!’ cried Pulaski, ‘ once more .” 8L
away we went again, breaking in upon them,
as they were forming; and trampling down
whole ‘platoons in the charge, before a man
could plant his bayonet, or bring his piece to
an aim: and the next moment, we were
scouring over the ground, where I could see
Archibald and Arthur battling it, with fotir or
. five ofthe enemy’s horse ; but our aspect, as
we came thundering round upon thein,proved
sufficient. They took to their heels, and we
brought them both olf-tinwoiinded—unhurt.
It was getting dark now, but the hour was
that of sunset; when, in this climate, the sky
is like a mass of colored vapor floating over
a bath. Greene was forming in our rear,with
that fearful calmness which bodcd -aterrible
time, always, to him that ventured upon it.-—
'I‘he ground wasfavourable to him ; and the
half ‘hour-that theenemy lost by our charge,
-.1 mere handful, into his solid column, was of
inconceivable benefit to-Greene ; for his men
were literally out of breath, and read-y-to drop
down at the firsronset. But that hall‘-hour
gave -them an opportunity to see their com
mandcr’s facc,and-hear his voice ; and, from
that rnoiiient, they would have stood their
ground, though the heavens had rainedfire
upon them. .
I have been in manya battle——many a-one
that made my hair stiffen afterwards in my
sleep, when I dreamt of it—-but never in one
where the ca rnage was -so dreadful—tlie rush"
.of blood and fire so incessant, as that which
-followed the arrival of Greene ; we were una-
ble to strike a blow. The enemy imagining
us, no doubt, to be -much more formidable
than we wer‘e, had edged in all his exposed
points, by a rank oftneii, kneeling with plan-
ted bayonets ; and,though we rode upon them
again and again, discharging our pistols in
tlieir.faces~—yet not one oftliern shot his eyes -
or fired a shot—but where he knelt, he died ;
and his place was iiumediately filled by an-
other as resolute, so that we could not——the
thing was impossible——repeat the blow that
we had given.
But one thing liappeiied, within my-own
.sight and hearing, that nearl-y brought me to_
the ground, in terror and hel-plessness. Two
horsemen had set upon me ; and while I was
"doing mybest to return their visit,-‘I saw that
.they were only a part ofa sguadrou,wliorn we
,had .not-seen before, or who had but just been
‘brought into‘ action; and that -several were
upon Archibald, who, while Iwas looking
upon him, reeled in the saddle,-and took a
_b|ow,I thought, that cleft his head—for his
bearskin caprflew, and hisliorse broke from
the‘ encounter, and dashed off to the right; I
follouietfiand soon came in contact with “Ice-
dou’s Virginia brigade, which soon relieved
_nie fr. all apprehensions on my own-account;
for the enemy fell before them, rank after

THE SABBATH ix AMERICA.
A strong effort was made on the I5thMarch,
by a certain class of persons to have the rear!-
ing rooms ofthe Atlienamin in Philadelphia,
kept open during certain hours on the Lord’s.
day. The consent of 45 persons, (the mun
ber requisite to call a meeting of the stock-
liolders.) was obtained to try the quesiion.—-
The day was air eventful one to Philadelphia,
as this institution is one ofrnore general cltarl
acter than any other in the place, and the
reasons urged were specious, and the effort
great. From the difficulty of collecting the
active and useful citizens during the day,ata‘
season of unusual business, and no special un-
tices having been serve:],it was not witlroui
fear that the friends ofthe Gospel and nfgood
ordcr, awaited the issue. Soirie addresses
were made btit Ilie one from that distinguished
civilian, Mr. Duponceau, was tinanswerable.
He urged among many other coiisiderations,
apart from religion, this, that the strict obser-
vance of Sunday was peculiar to the United
States, and the sacred mariner in which this
day is kept, so very different from its observ-
ance in any country in Europe, as to make it
a striking feature in the character of the na-
ticn, and as such, indepeirdent of all other
considerations, which might not have their
weight on those who moved "the question,
should be most carefirlly cherished and strict-
ly preserved as a national trait, which would
never fail to reitiiiid the traveller ofthe land
he has left, and one which will endear the
country to every one ofits citizens,wlio might
ever spend the day in any foreign land. The
contrast would recur to the mind on each re-
iiirniug Sunday, and the Americanwould re-
uieiiiber his country with affection. while he
said to himself. “they do notkeep Sunday so
at home,” and he would love his country for
the very peculiarity. On takingthe vote on-
ly 35 could be found to resolve on a public vi-
olation of the Sabbath. The number on zlie
other side which, compared with its weight of
charact_er, was trifling, amounted to between
so and 100. It-was a triumph ofgood prin-
ciple, over the corrupt influence of irreligion
and foreign customs.-—.r9m. S. S. Magazine.

‘Vegetable .Po.i'son.—A case of accidental
poison by wild prlrsnip occurred in this town
yesterday, which came near proving fatal to.
‘ two boys, one an apprentice in this oft'icc,.l5,
years of age, the other a son of Captain Julia,-
Robinson. 6 years old. The parsnips wexg
«taken from an old garden between King_st.‘f
and Hancock street, on wet and low land,
which appears not to liavebeen much culti-
vateil for some time past. The boys supposed
-iliem to be artichokes. The youngest boy
was found, about an hour after they had eaten
the parsnips, in convulsion‘ fits. The oldest
walked about nearly two hours, when he be-
came so weak that he could hardly walk, was
in great distress, and gave inforniation that
he had eaten something which he was afraid
was poison. He grew worse fast, couldnoi
sit tip straight, complained ofviolent burning
in the stomach, vomited, sunk into a stupor,
medical aid arrived, immediately adminis
tered a glass of sweet oil, patient fell into a
violent convulsion fit, which lasted frornfive
to ten minutes: powerful emetics were then
forced down tvithgreat difficulty, the patient
struggling and making all the resistance in-his
power. After sufficient medicine had been
administered to throw the vegetables from the
stomach, he began to revive, though for some
time considerably inclining to stupor. Both
ofthe boys appear likely to recover. A third
boy, who dug t-he parsnips and.gave-themto
the other two, are some but was not affected
by it. We have heard‘ .it said that the
common garden parsnip, if left to stand some
years and grow spontaneously, will become
poison. This subject is worthy of examina-
tion. We understand that sortie scattered
parsnips were seen to grow last year in the
garden near where these poisonous vegeta-
bles were dug. We have examined some of
these roots ; they considerable resemble the
conrinon parsnip, and have a slight taste like
parsnip, but their smell is very similar to that
of the common garden plant called lovage.

fldvanlage of sawing Peas in Circles in-

those who sow the rows of tall-growing peas
close together. It is much better, in all iliose
sorts which grow six or eight feet -lllgll, to
have only one row, and then to. leave .a bed
ten or twelve feet wide for onions, carrots, or
any craps which do not grow tall. The
advantages which will be derived are, that
the peas will not be drawn up so much, be
stronger, will flower much nearer the ground,
and in wet weather can be more.easily_.gath-

sowing peas in straight rows, ifyou will form
