Our remarks upon Sabbath Amusementsin
the last Gazette have produced the following
ill-tempered article in one of the N.Y.papers.
The Norwalk Gazette contains an article
reflecting upon last Sunday’s excursion Of the
Steam Boat Legislator to Norwalk in terms
well worthy o'f_that canting hypocrisy which
‘iustifies blue laws, and hoisted on our shores
lue ligh.ts to further the destruction of the
gallant Decatur. It is unnecessary to enter
into the discussion ofthe question, whether a
i'i‘g"t'd and intolerant observance ‘of the Sab.
bath be right or wrong; nor would I notice
the impudeut article alluded to, had it not
been for the purpose of contradicting one or
two ofits most material falsehoods, viz :—In-
stead ofthe vehicles ofconveyance being put
in requisition by the passengers, they were
already on the dock when the steatn boat ar-
rived, and their drivers (inhabitants of the
place) in no wise reluctant or scrupulous at re-
ceiving pay for this “ profanation ofthe Sab-
bath.” And secondly-, the base iiisinuation
that two boys were purposely injured by Capt.
Fisher, the cominander ofthe boat; when in
fact he knew nothing ofthe tnatter until after
it had occurred, and then exerted liimselfto
the utmost (as was witnessed by this writer) in
rescningthem,and succeeded, without their
having sustained the least harm.
A Jlfcmber of the Excztrsion.
Although this article deserves no notice
from us, yet we sltall bestow a few words up.
on it. In making the remarks which appear-
ed last week, we aimed to speak the trutli,and
if we failed of this it was from an undtie reli-
ance upon what we are acctistomed to regard
as good rmlhorily; viz. the representations of
respectable and conscientious persons. A f or-
ther inquiry however Iias convinced us that we
were correct in our remarks, with perhaps
one exception,-and this is. that the party mun-
bered among itsginembers rather more “ re-
spectable merchanl_s,”as another writer claims,
than we had at first supposed : but if these
gentlemen will consent to associate with per-
sons of whose conduct they disapprove, and
that too on a day when their own good sense
iuust tell them they should be employed in
other concerns, they need not be surprised at
finding some blame attached to their skirts.
But it is with the writer ofthe article in ques-
tion that we have at present to deal.
And here we mtist be permitted to say, that
had he given vent to his feelings in a more
, suitable and becoming manner, and refrained
from his improved assertions of falsehood on
our part, and been more yarticular as to the
truth of some of his own statements, especial-
ly those which relate to occurrences of which
he says he was himselfan eye-witness,it would
have been altogether more to l.is credit. The
term canting h.ypocris_t/ is a most convenient
one for those who have no other excuse for
theirviolation of laws which they know are
not only necessary and proper ih themselves,
but sa'nctioned' by the laws of heaven. In
the preseiit_c_ase the writer felt that he could
apply ,it-fiivigrpectiliar advantage, but it will a-
vail him it other purpose than to cast addi-
tional stigm'a_-upon his catise. But ifhe think
otherwise we inake him welcome to all the
benefit he can derive from applying it to these
or our former remarks: as for ourselves, we
will say,iftlie inculcation ofobedience to civ-
il and divine authority; if a denunciation of
vice in its worst fortii; and ifa candid warn-
ing against the violation of our laws, he cant
ing‘ Izypocrisy, we are willing to bear the
cliargo. Nor are we alone. A hundred oth-
ers of our citizens feel as we do on this sub-
jec-t,and if words are not empty sounds, we
can assure the writer that if the offence is re-
peated, those 'blue laws which he affects so
much to despise," will be ri gidly enforced up-
on him. If he does not like them let him not
put hiniselfina s_ituation that will make him
obnoxious to their penalties. They will not
then disturb his peace.
We would.-thank the writer to point out, in
his next communication, the connexion which
blue laws have with “ blue lights,” or with
“ the destruction ofthe gallant Decatur ;” as
well as the_.. difference that exists between
“ vehicles of conveyance ptit in requisition,”
or the putt_ing‘ofsucli vehicles in requisition.
The remark that_i_t is unnecessary for him
tosay “ whether a rigid and intolerant observ-
ance ofthe Sabbath is RIGHT or wim.\'G,” is
completely in character. The fact that he
cares nothing about it is abundantly evinced
both from his conduct, and from the spirit of
his observations; we shall not therefore ‘ar-
gue the question with him, whether he be,
or he not disposed to it. “
We are accused by the jvritcr of sayingthat
Capt. Fisher purposely injured two boys. We
neither said nor intended any such thing. Otir
remark was that an accident occurred thro’
the criminal carelessness ofthe captain, and
we will now relate the circumstances, and
leave the unprejudiced reader tojudge wheth-
ertliis expression was too strong or not.
Five small boyswere in a boat which lay near
the Legislator, and as she was starting it was
perceived that there was danger ofthe wheel’s
striking the boat, and the captain was desired
to stop the engine. This request was not
complied with until after the wheel struck the
boat, shattered it, and threw four of the boys
overboard, breaking the arm of one, and inju-
ring another. The father of one ofthe boys,
after jumping from the dock and rescuing his
son, went on board to the captain, and repre-
sented the injury he had occasioned, when,
instead of making any reply evincive of re-
gret at what had happened, he ordered him
ashore with a manner and language ungen-
tlemanly in the highest degree. This is the
most favorable view ofthe circumstances that
can be presented. If, in the tumult of the
moment, the captain did not hear the request
that was made to stop the engine in season to
prevent the accident,he is of course free from
some ofthe-blame ; btit how can his subse-
quent conduct be excused ?
We intended to have noticed the remark
of" another writer, who says that “ he saw
nothing criminal or improper in the conduct
of any one fioin on board,” but we have not
room. If he did not see it hundreds ofothers
did, and were we to repeat all that was seen ,
it would make him blush for the assertion.
Shocking‘ Dtspensolions qfProvitlence.--A
fewdays since, a maniac by the name of
Rowe, tnade his escape from the Retreat in
Hartford, and came into Farmington, to the
house of Ira Rowe,a distant relation of his.—-
He wandered about from house to house in
the eastern partofthe town, asking for food
and drink, until Sabbath evening the fifteenth
inst. He then entered the dwelling ofElias
Goodrichfand began to use violence ; being
a remarkably strong and active man; Mr. .G.
fled with his wife and children to aneighbor-
ing house, and- persuaded Mr. Noadiali Bird
to return with him to his house, and dispos-
sess or secure the maniac.» Mr. Bird, on en-
tering the house, holding a candlein his hand,
received a blow on the head from the maniac,
who was standing behind the door-with an
axe. which fractured his skull ; and in all
probability occasioned instant death. Mr.
Goodrich again fled, and after collecting one
or two more of his neighbours, returned, and
found Mr. Bird lying with his head on the
door-sill, almost dissevered fro m the body.-
The murderer had fled; but the axewas found
under a window covered with hair and blood !
On Monday, hundreds of men.-went in pur-
suit ofthe murderer without success. ,On the
following night, several men were appointed
to guard two houses, «to one or the other of
which it was expected he would return.-—
These men, as many others, on the preceding
day had done, very imprndently and unneces-
sarily armed themselves uith guns. Having
been warned against the use ofsuch weapons,
a couutersign was agreed upon between them
lest they might injure each other. The night
was dark and rainy, and at about 3 o’clock
the guard at one of the houses wempto visit
the other,-—coming near, they‘were discover-
ed, or heard by the other guard, who set a
large dog upon them. The approaching men,
three in number, immediately gave the coun-
tersign; but the barking of the dog, it is sup-
posed, prevented its being heard ;-and one
of the guard named Gager, being greatly
frightened,though standing with two other_s by
his side, discharged his gun towards his ap-_
proaching companions, and sliotoiie ofthem,
Drayton Bodwell, his intimate friend, nearly
through the heart. Bodwell was 21 years of
age—a tneinber of the church in that town,
who expected shortly to have married ayoung
lady in histieigliborliood. Mr. Bodwell lived
only to say that lie freely forgave the man
who shot him. The bodies were both tak-
en to the meeting house on lVcdnesday,
where a sermon was delivered by Rev. Noah
Porter, to a_ vast assembly ofpeople,who deep-
ly sympathised with those relatives and neigh-
bors, who were thus, in this extraordinary and
lamentable inanner, sep'.irated for ever from
their friends. The maniac was an inhabit-
ant ofBristol, Conn. stout built, very athletic,
and were at the time only a shirt, vest and
plaid cloak. He was taken and secured on
Wednesday last in the western part of Hart-
ford. ). Duty also to the Retreat demands the
declaration that no blame whatever ought to
attac,h'to- the Superintendent o_f that valua-
ble "Institution ; a_s all will readily be-
lieve, who learn the almost miraculous man-
ner in which he made his escape. The time
assigned for his continuance in the Retreat
was to expire next day. He appeared to be
restored to perfect soundness of mind ; con-
versed rationally with the Superintendant re-
specting his future einploymcnt—said he had
kept a school. and asked the opinion of the
superintendent whether he had better seek for
a situation as teacher, or engage in farining
business with his brother in the state of New
York—and, was advised by all means to turn
his attention to agricultural pursuits. That
night, however, he escaped from _his room,
which was in the third story, through an iron
grate of 8 by 10 inches." The grates are pla-
ced on the outside ofthe window sash in such
a manner as not to be seen by the occupant
of the room. He broke the window inside,
and made use of his bed clothing tolet liiin-
self down on thejoutside.
on the grate where he got.through ; and it
appears alniost'imp'ossible that so stout a man.
could have passed through such a small space
alive. He had afterwards "to make his way
over a wall 12 feet high.
loons on ;'and proceeded from house to house
begging for victuals and cider. It is strange
that some attempt was not sooner made to
secure a man under such appearances. He
was angry when refused cider. He was from
his youth a passionate, furious person when
displeased. He was a man of great strength,
and when first taken delirious was so swift in
his moveiuents that no men in the neighbor-
hood could come near him. They. actually
had to make use of dogs in securing. him --
Last winter he made his escape from the yard
_of the Retreat, and crossed the river on the
ice. He was itninediately pursued by-per-
sons on horseback, but was not overtaken and
secured until he had reached the east part of
Glastenbury.—./V‘. H. Register.
In February last a Naval Court ,Martial
was held at Norfolk, at which Midshipman
Alex’r Van Dyke was tried on four charges,
and cleared on the 1st and,.3d,and found guil-
ty on the 2d, ofdisrepect to his superior ofl‘i-
cer, and on the 4th, of “ conduct unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman.” In this charge
the word “ maliciously” was used, but the
court decided that the evidence did not sup-
port the charge. The Court then‘ adjudged
‘ ‘the said Alexander Van Dyke to be dis-
missed fr. the naval service of the U. States.”
The decision ofthis case by the President
of the United ‘States is as follows:
The finding of the Court under the first and
third charges is approved. The finding under
the second &L fourth charges is not approved.
The specification of the charge of disre-
pect to his superior officer alledged, is the
writing of a letter to the Secr’y of the Navy,
requesting to be removed from the ship, with-
out consulting his superior officer. The on-
ly evidence given of the fact was, the ac-
knowledgment, reluctantly drawnfrom Mid-
shipman Van Dyke himself; neither the let-
ter, nor any evidence that it had" been sent to
the Secretary, was before the Court, although
the production of the letter was demanded
by the accused. The same is to be observed
ofthe order from the Navy Department, the
disobedience to which constituted the alleged
disrepect to his superior officer, stated in the
specification. Neither the order, not its spe-
cific purport, nor the fact that its existence
was known to the accused, were in evidence
before the court. In the judicial admin-
istration.0f all criminal law, it is a rule, that
every penal sentence must: rest upon the co-
incidence of the allegations with the proofs
of the charge. The specificatieu of the 4th
charge in this case is, thatthe accusedfalse-
ly and maliciously represented to some orn-
ccrs or other persons, at Point Coiufort, that
There was blood ,
He had no panta- .
7
his commanding officer had collared a Sailing
Master and cursed a Midshipman.‘ The court
expressly exclude the word “ maliciously”
from their finding, and it was in full evidence
before them, that the report which the accu-
sed is charged with having asserted at Point
Comfort to have been in circulati_on,on board
the North Carolina, had, whether. correctly 0|’
not, been so in circulation. The falsehood
and malice, alleged in the specification, are
both excluded from the charge as proved ;—
the falsehood, by the evidence before the
Court; the malice, by the finding ofthe court;
and with them disappears all the penal matter
ofthe char e. . The facts were not proved as
alleged, an the sentence ofthe court isthere.-.
fore disapproved. This decisionis not intend-
ed to convey the opinion that the conduct of
midshipman Van Dyke was correct. The a-
vowal that he had written to.the Secretary of -
the Navy and to members of Congress, with
a view to be removed from the ship, made ap-
parently in a spirit of defiance, was disre-
spectful to the commtuid_ing officer, and altho’
not sufiiciently aggravated for dismissalfrom
the service, deserves to be_severely reproved.

A Boat Race, for a purse of $92,000, took
place on Friday last at N. York. The boats
started from near the quarantine ground and
rowed to a stake boat anchored near Castle
Garden, a distance of!) miles. The success-
ful boa_t,,the Whitehall, was rowed by 3 ofthe
persons who gained the purse some tiiue since
in a contest with a boat of the British frigate
Hussar. It is said 30,000 persons assembled
to view the race. It was performed in 25 min,

ofJackson and Crawford, with a mutual un-

Steam Boat Acct°dcnt.—The Steam Boats
James Kent and Fanny, ran foul of each oth-
er abouttwo o’clock on Thursday morning
last, about three miles above this village. The
Kent had her figure head cut-water,'and‘bow-
sprit shrouds cut away. The Fanny had her
upper deck, guard and Captain’s ofiice, state-
room and Captain, carried overboard. We
learn no personal injury was done on board

Great Invention.--Mr. Joseph Bell is build-
ing in this town, a boat which he intends to
propel -by Lever power. It is" now nearly
completed, and he expects to put it in opera-
tion in the course of the ensuing week. The
machinery is very simple, and the manual
force required to w_ork it will not exceed that
of four persons. Mr. Bell is perfectly confi-
dent that this attempt ofhis to apply the lever
to boats with great advantage, will be success-
ful, and that he can propel them with nuich
greater rapidity than is done by steam\ '
No person has ever yet succeeded in making
this application, altho’ there can be no doubt
ofthe correctness of the principle. ' Should
Mr. Bell effect his object, it will be one-ofthe
greatest achievements ofthe present age-, and
will entirely explode the use of steam boats,
as the labour and expense to put boats on his
plan intooperation are infinitely less, and the
advantages derived from the power and light-
ness of machiner'y, much greater.

Jklurderof Gen. ._McInto‘s,h.-The.Milledge-l

“ We stop the Press to announce the dis-
tressing intelligence of the murdeiofi the In-
dian Chief Gen. Wm.McIntosh, and the chief
of Coivetau, Tustunnugee Tomme,which was
brought to the Governor yesterday evening
by Chilly McIntosh,the General’s son, and .
five chiefs of the nation, who made their es-
cape from the massacre.. The mischief was
perpetrated on Saturday,A pril 80th,by a-large
body oflndians, supposed to be 400, who-at--

the head ofa mission toiexplore the country
west ofthe Mississippi for the future residence
ofthe nation- There‘is too much reason to
yfearthat white men were the instigators of

Intosh, and the chiefs" mentioned in the Re-

He
says, that his father’s house was surrounded ,
by a party, and set on fire, on the morning of

killed his father before he could escape.—
They then surrounded the house of Tustnn-
uuggee, in which, besides hiinselfChiliy M’-
lntosh, Mr. Kennard, (his brother-in-law,) and
two white men were. The chief was imme-
diately killed; but the others escaped by
flight; M’Intosh and Kennard were pursued
to the river (Chatalioochie,)and fired at until
they had crossed. They remained in the
neighborhooduntil about It o’clock,during
which time the assailing party were shooting
the cattle, and destroying the property of

improper imfluence has been used to produce
this outrage; and attributes it ‘in a - great de-
gree to the bad feelings ofa-.white~man who
was opposed to the‘ treaty, and the declared
enemy ofall who signed it. . This person was
at a Council that was recently held, from
which the son and friends of Gen. M’Intosh
were excluded; within eight days after the
adj’t. ofthe Council the attack was-made.
[The party which murdered M’Intosh has
dispersed, and nothing more is to be appre-
hended froin them. About 20 balls entered

address his assailants. One cause ofthe dis-
affection with him, was his refusal to hold a
talk with them for a long time past.] '
