Bramlywine. " In which leg were you
wounded at Brandywine,” asked the author
ofthese meiiioranda of General Lafayette.-
Here, my dear sir,” pointing to the left.-
"' And the ball--what become of it? We

youth, who left his home "pro novr. orbts‘
Libci-ate a'ccertabal.” The countrymen of
Nelson preserve with pious care,tlie ball which
pierced that hero’s bosom.” The ball, my
friend, went through and through. I w.as on
foot when I received my wound--a part ofour
line had giveti way, but a part still held their
ground, to these I repaired, and to encourage
my comrades, and show them that I had no
better chance offlightthan they, I ordered my
horse to the rear.-‘ TU news of my being
.lllll‘l was soon conveyed to the Commander
in Chief, with the usual exaggerations insucli
cases. The good General Washington feel-
i-‘ngly expressed his grief, that one so young,
and a volunteer in the holy cause ofFreedom
should so early have fallen ; but he was soon
relieved by an assuraiicetliat my W0llttd.W0Uld
stop short of life, when he sent to me his love,
and gratulation that niatters were no worse.
On the field of battle the surgeon prepared
his drcssings,buttlie shot flew so thick arotitid
_us, that in very little time ifwe had remained,
we should have both been ‘ past all surgery.’
Being mounted upon my horse, Ileft the field
and repaired to the bridge near Chester when
I halted and placed a guard to stop the tugi-
tive soldiers and direct them to join their re-
spective regiments. I could do no more-
beconiing faint, I was carried into a house in
Chester, and laid on a table, when my wound
received its firstdressing.
' The General Ofliceis soon after arrived,
when [saluted them by begging that they
would not eat me up, as they appeared ‘to be
very hungry, andl was the only dish, upon
the only table in the house. The good Gen-
eral in Chief was much gratified in finding me
in sticli spirits, and caused a litter to be made
on which I was conveyed to the Indian queen
in‘ Philadelphia, and was there waited upon
by the m"embers of Congress who were all
booted and Spllt’I’8d,-3ll(l on the wi_ng for a
place of greater safety, to hold their sessions.
The enemy continued to advance, I again re-
moved to Bristol, and thence in the coach of
President Laurens, (and coaches were very
rare in those days,) to Reading ; where I re-
mained until so much recovered, as to be able
to repair to Head Quarters in 1778. In this
eventfulyear,I was entrusted with my first
cotnmand ;oiie hundred and fifty ofMorgan’s
Riflemen, under the gallant Maijon Morris,
and two hundred and fifty very fine young fel-
iows ofthe Jersey Militia, cotiiposed my first
adventure in arms. "Furnislied with a guide,
we advanced upon the enemy, and touted a
corps of Hessians. Our guide became be-
wildered, but we dashed on, animated by our
success. Cornwallis detertiiiiied to punish us
for having so gaily beaten tip his quarters,
and pushed forward his Light Infantry and
Greiiadiers, whom we also forced from the
field with loss, and then we bore off scarfs of
their slain officers, as spolia optima of victory.
This little affair‘ was productive of the best
possible results. The Grand Army had just
lost two great battles ; our success, small as it
was,reinspired confidence, and appeared like
a_presage of still greater things. The Com-
inander‘in.Cliief was pleased to notice the

Triuljbr Mm'der.~—On Thursday the 17th
inst. at the Circuit Court in Jonesborough,
' before Judge Scott, came on the trial of Da-
mil Greer, for the murder of Hzggiris, in No-
vember last, which .la.-‘ted the whole of two
days, ‘and was the subject of much curiosity,
from the well known singular character ofthe
. prisoner. Not having been present at the
trial, we cannot pretend to give anything like
a regular delineation ofits proceedings. We
have collected some of the prominent» inci-
dents front conversation with a gentleman
who was present during a greater part of it,
and here give them to our readers.
A great number of witnesses were examin-
ed, botli on the part ofthe state, andon the
part of the prisoner.. It appeared from the
testiuioriy that Greer had, for about 80 years
past, lived a secluded life on and near the top
ofthe Bald Mountain. There seemed to have
been a vein ofsiiigularity running through all
his notions, his manner, &.c. He was very
hospitable to strangers when they came Esee
him, and he was frequently visited by tl cu-
rious, who were attracted by the desire to see
the strange man of the uiouiitain, whose fauie
was spread through all the surrounding coun-
try. In his dealings he was iincoininotily exact,
and an undeviating adherence to truth and
honesty was a marked trait in his character.
He had many years ago gone to the top ofthe
Bald Mountain, where there are several hun-
dred acres of land entirely destittite ofa tree
or shrub, (yet the soil good, and covered with
grass,) whereglie planted a corn and pntatoe
patch, which he surrounded with a ditch, to
secure therii from intrusion; but finding on the
experience ofone season, that his crops could
not come to riiaturity, in consequence of the
coldness ofthe area in whit-.li they were loca-
ted, lie abandoned the top of the mountain,
and came some distance down its side, where
he took tip his residence, built a mill, 3:. made
tnany donrestic regulations for his conven-
ience and comfort, some of which showed the
work of an ingenious hand. His mill was
made on a small coiistrtiction, was kept in
motion by the water ofa small inoiiutaiii riv-
iilet, and would grind from lialfa bushel to a
bushel of grain per day. He once erected an
iron tnanufactory on the inotititaiu. He was
a man of uncommon physical strength, and
had performed feats entirely within liimself,in
the erection of his littildings and tnacliinery.
which it. was jpdged would have required the
strength of4 or 5 common men to perform.
Greer is, on" his fatlier’s side. of Turkish
descent. "He has a good education, and was
esteemed, when in his youth, a young man
of fine talents. But the tinfaitlifuluess of the
object ofliis .:fi'ection, and the thus unhappy
termination ofa “love affair,” gave liitn an
aversion for society; and settling alone. on the
Bald Mountain. he took tip the idea that he
was the monarch atid sole proprietor ofit, es-
tablished lines marking the extent of his do
minions, and declared liiniselfiiidepeodent of
any other liuiiiao government. A tax was
mice levied on hint by direction of the court
of Buncouibe county, within the bounds of
which was some of his pr:-]ier‘ty:.,:'—,-Ifle refused

house, while the cotirt was in session, stoned
the magistrates offthe betich, and then rettir-
ned iinniolested to his kingdom,crowned with
the laurels of victory, where he was ever af-
terwards permitted to reriiain free oftax-gath-
erers. He established an entry takers ofiice,
exacting a certain sutii of tnoiiey from every
man who brought his cattle into his dominions
for the benefit of the range, and assigned to
-each a certain portion oflaiid, which he de-
signated by some particular name, as Hazle
Patch, Haw‘Thicket, &.c. &.c. This regula-
tion was generally acceded to without dispute
by those who took their stock thither. He
some time ago drafted a constitution for a go-
vernment‘ on his own plan, which was exhib-
ited in court as evidence to establish his luna-
cy. The origin of his aiitipatby against
Higgins was a’ disagreement in their trading.
Grner conceived that Higgins had told him a
falsehood, and he had treasured in his iuiiid
:a powerful aversion for lying. The quarrel
‘between them became so high that they pro-
iceeded to blows; after which Greer applied
:to a magistrate and had his antagonist arrest-
ed, as he has himself since avowed, for the
sole purpose ofhaving a good chance to shoot
him, while lieivas‘ under arrest. He profes-
ses to believe that it is not wrong to-kill a ‘bad
,in'ai_i,’ and upon this grouudjostifies his con-
duct. His first shot proved unsuccessful ;—
when he uiiperceived got ahead ofthe party
again, and from a waste house near-the road
where they were to pass along on their way
to the magistrate’s, shot Higgins dead on the
spot. He was arrested liy the constable, i\'lr.
Erwin, assisted by Mr. Cooper, who had been
aiding the-constaLle to apprehen'd,and convey
Higgins to trial, after a violent resistance, (in
which it became necessary to maim him, by
shooting hiini llll’0lll.'.ll the liati_d,) and corti-
riiitted to prison in Jonesborough for trial. '
The case was ably argued by the counsel

been given by the wjitnessesitihtlie course of
the examination. The judge concluded his

Trial ofthe Thagl/ers.—A than by the, name
of Israel Thayer, and his three son's;'N’elson,
Isra,el.jr. and Isaac, all res__i_deuts ofthe town
ofI3oston, in this county, were committed to‘
thejail in this village, about the 20th of Feb.
last, charged with tlieintirder of one John
Love. At the session hereof the ‘Circuit
Court for this district, last iveek, they were
severally indicted and brought to trial before
is Honor Jtidge Walworth. , Israel, jr. and
- saac were indicted together, and -were put
first to the bar. The facts that came ottt up-
on their trial, which occupied the couit about
two days, were stibstatitially these :——On the
l5tli of December last, the deceased started
from the house of Nelson Thayer, in company
with Isaac Thayer, Israel Thayer. Junr. and
Nelson Thayer, for the dwelling of Israel, jr.
which was some sliortdistance, for the avow-
ed purpose ofcutiing tip hogs, which had that
_ day been butchered. -Love, being a friend
and intimate of-the Tliayers, was induced to
go for company, merely, and with the expec-
tation ofstaying all night. This was the last
time Love was seen alive. Hfslbody was af-
terwards fotiiid, on the land of Israel Thayer,
and about thirty rods from his house, buried
six inches deep, near a log. Heihad been
shot through the head, and his throat and the
side of his face deeply wounded, as if with an
axe. The finding was on the 23d of Febru-
ary following the disappearance of Love,-
which was on the 15th of December. Oo-
the l7tli or 18th of Deceu-be_r {for the wit-
nesses were not positive which,) the Thayers
were in possession ofthe horse which Love
rode when last seen, together with his notes.
papers, parts ofliis clothing, &.c. This, at
the time, altiiough it excited suspicion, esca-
ped legal notice ; and oti the 8th of January
following, the Thayersi produced a power of
attorney to adtninister upon the estate of
John Love, alleging that he had absconded to
escape arrest for a crime committed in Penn-
sylvania. This instrument was proved to
have been forged." “ It was in evidence,tliat
a boy who-was living with lsrael,jr. was, on
ilie day ofthe crime, sent liofne to‘ his‘ friends,
in the neighborhood, to spend the night ; and
that the wife of Israel, Jr. was absent o'n a
visit for the everiiiig. Her husband called for
her between the hours of9 and 11 o’clock, in
the evening, and took her home. The sound
ofa gun was heard on that evening, by various
persons in the neighborliood, about in the di-
rection ofthe liotise of Israel,jr. Love, when
last seen, had on agrcat coat ; and the body
when fniind was covered with the same, and
destitute of shoes and stockings, from which
it appeared probable that he was shot while
sitting by the fire, preparing for bed. The
presence of an‘ axe, which sortie ofthe wounds
indicated, was 'proved——at least one ofthe
Thayers was seen to carry one from a saw
mill to the liouse. to use, as he said. in cutting
tip the hogs. These we believe to be the lead
iiig facts disclosed upon this trial, during the
examination of more than forty witnesses, on_
the part oftlie-people ; antl they were so con-
nected by a chain ofiiiiiiute and explicit cir-
cntnstances, that the Jtiry, on the evening of
Friday. after an absence of about half an
hour, returned to the court with a verdict of
gttilly. against both the prisoners. - _
On the following day. Nelson Tliayer,who
stood indicted separately for the satne crime,
was ptit to the bar. He like his brothers,
plead ‘ not guilty,',_and after a patient investi-
gation, which coutiiiued from Saturday morn-
ing until near midnight, the jury after a'short
absence, delivered to the court their verdict of
guilty.—-—-Since the last trial closed, the ciil-
prits have made a full confession of their
,,,;,,,,., in which they say they were all three
concerned. Their confessions agree that
Love was shot through the window, while sit
ting at the fire, by Isaac ; that he was still sit-
ting in his chair when Nelson dr-spntehed him
with an axe. The body was removed from
the house by Israel. Jr. and Nelson, who sub-
sequently buried it where it was found. They
all deny that either their father or any other
person was privy to the deed. or had any coir-
nection with them in the plan or ext.-ciition of
‘it. On Saturday evening, at the close of
Nelson’s trial, he, was remanded to prison,
where his two condemned brothers already
were. and yesterday morning they were all 3
brought to the bar. where sentence of death
was passed upon them, in a solemn and im-
pressivtyiianner, by the court. They are to
be publicly executed in this village, on the
Win day of June next, between the hours of
twelve and two o'clock.
A No‘ evidence was found against the father
as an accomplice, but he is still. detained in
prison as an accessary after the fact.
, Colonization, -S‘oct'rt_y.—It is stated in a let-
ter from a respectable gentlenian in Vermont,
who has long exerted himself with great zeal,
ability, and success,in aid ofthe Colonization
Society, that the “Vermont Auxiliary Socie-
ty bave agreed to solicit a collection thro’oiit
the state on the Sabbath next folloiving the
Fourth ofJul_v, and the President will issue
an address in .beli_alfofthe Society to thrltef-

There are various other instan- A

ation, he promised to do. This was the most
remarkable incident of liis'lil'e, anti filled his
mind with a thousand-fancies. The conclu-
sion, however, of all his consultations with
liimself was, that he sliotildolitaiti both fatne
and money; and that a journeyto the me-
tropolis‘, to direct and superintend the great
concern was indispensable. After taking a
formal leave ofliis friends and neighbors, he
proceeded on his jourriey. _ n his arrival in
town, by great‘ good fortune, he was recom-
mended to the worthy and excellent Mr.Bow-
yer, to whom he triumphantly related the ob-
ject of his journey. ‘The printer agreed to
his proposals, and required to know how ma-
ny copies he would have struck off? “ W'liy,
“sir,” returned the clergyman, “I have calcu-
lated that there are in the kingdom so inziny
thotisatid parishes, and that each parish will
at least take one, and others more, so that I
think we may safely "veutt'tt'e to‘ print thirty-
five or thirty six thousand copies.” Tlie priri-
ter bowed, the matter was settled, and the
Reverend author departed in high spirits to
his home. With tiiuch diffieulty and great
self denial, a period of about two months was
suffered to pass; when his golden visions so
tormented, his irnagiiiation, that he could eti-
dure it no longer, and accordingly he wrote
to Mr.Bowyer,desiring him to send the debtor
and creditor account,niost liberally permitting
the remittances to be forwarded at Mr. B.’s
convenience. Judge of the astonishment,
tribulation and anguish excited by the receipt
of an account, charging him for printing 35
tliousaiid copies ofa sermon, £735. 55. 6d. 8L
gtvitta him credit for £I. 5s. 6d. ‘the produce
of 17 copies, being the whole that had been
sold. This left abalance of £784. due the
bookseller.
All who knew the clitiracter of this most
amiable and excellent printer, would not be
at all surprised to hearthat in a day or two, a
letter to the following purpose was forwarded
to the clergyman: ‘
“ Rev. Str—I beg pardon for innocently a-
rousing myself at your expense, but you need
not give yourself uneasiness. I knew better
than you do the extent of the sale ofsingle
Serttiotis, and. accordingly printed but fifty
copies, to the expense of which yoti are heart-
ily welcome, in return for the liberty I have
taken with yoii.’.’—-Percy’s flnccdote.-r.
Singular system ofDuelling.——On the bar-
ders ofA.ustria and Turkey where a private
pttque, or private quarrel of a single individual,
niiglit occasion the massacre ofa family or
village‘, the desolation ofa province, and per-
liaps the more extended liorrurs ofa national
war, whensoever, any serious dispute arises
between two subjects ofthe different empires,
recourse is bad to terniitiate it by what is cal-
led “the custom ofthe frontier.” A spacious
plain or field is selected, where, on an appoin-
ted day,judges of the respective nations re-
pair, accompanied by all those whom curios-
pity or interest may assemble. The combat-
ants are not restricted in the choice of number
of their arms, or in their method of fighting,
but each is at liberty to employ whatsoever he
conceives is tiiore advantageous to himself,
and avail himself of every artifice to ensure
his oivn safety, and destroy the life orfhis an-
tagonist. One ofthe last times that this meth-
odvofdeciding a quarrel on the frontiers was
resorted to,the circumstances were sufficiently
curious, and the recital oftlieni may serve to
illustrate what is mentioned. The plilegmatic
German, armed with the most desperate wea-
pou in the world--—a rifle mounted on a carb-
iiie stock. placed himselfin the middle of the
field, and conscious that he would destroy his
enemy, ifhe could once get him witliiti shot,
began coolly to smoke his pipe. The Turk,
on the cout_rary, with a pistol on each shoul-
der, and two in the holsters, and two more in
his breast, and a sabre by his side, and a dag-
ger in his belt, advanced like a moving mag-
«zine, and galloping rotitid his adversary kept
incessantly firing at hint. The German, cori-
scinus that little or no danger was to be ap-
prehended froiu such a marksman, witli such
weapons, deliberately continued to smoke his
pipe. The Turk at length perceiving a little
explosion, as if his antagoiiis-t’s pistol had mis-
sed fire, advanced like lightning to cut him
down, and almost immediately was shot dead.
The witty Gertnan had put some gunpowder
into his pipe, the light of which his enemy had
mistook, as the other had foreseen would be
the case, for a dash in the pan ; and no long-
er fearing the superior arms of his adversary,
fell a victim to them both when seconded by
artifice. ' ' —— '
