From me Biography ollltrrlge Wilson, in the
six‘>tli volunieol‘ the Biography oftlie Sigri-

In the year 177.9, the lives of ill r. IVilson
and marry of his frieiirls, were put in r-xtreine
hazard by a band of lieatcrl partizriirs, under‘
the pretext of his holding sentiments inrtnical
to popular institiitiriiis’. By that time, party

cy, and the prili-ticiaris‘ were divided into cou-
siiiuiionalisis and republicans. The first ral-

chants, who monopolized the goods, and to
’c‘e.r't'.iiii lawyers who rescued the toiies from
piiiiisliinr-iii, by pleading for them in court:-—
Mr. Wilson had becrrine particularly obnox-
ious. He was charged, in his professioiral

ries, and befricndiiig thefoes to the principles
on which the opposition to the arbitrary claims
oftlie British arliniiiistratiou was fotindetl.-—

ment. The affair o.f “ Fort Wilson,” as his
house was thereafter rleuoniiiiatcd, flowed fr.
this mistaken opinion, of, wliicb those who
conducted that rli-graceful transaction, took
advairtage for party purposes. -

About the middle ‘of September, I779, a
cniiiinittee, appointed ¢\[at()Wll‘ll1e8Il|lg, reg-
ulated the prices of rum, salt, sugar, coffee.
flour, 8.20. a tiieasure which was strongly op-

sed to dispose of, at the iegiilated prices. A-
bout the last of the month. a great niuriber oi
the lower class from the city and liberties,col-
lected, and ma rclied tlirotigh. the city, threat-
ening to break open the stores, distribiiie the
goods, and ptiiiisli those who refused to open
their wareliouses. On the morning of the 4th
of October, placards were posterl, menacing
Robert Morris, Blair -'.\I’Clenachan, and tria-
iry others: Mr. \T_V'ilson was proscribed by thr-
rnob, for having exercised his professivrnal
ditty as 21 lawyer. in belialfof certain persons
who had been prosecuted for treason; and the
ptiirisliirieiit decreed for his crirtie. was bat)-

this was not the real cause ivliir-.li produced
so lauientable an instance of popular delusion:

'I‘liegeiitleiiieii threatened, rleterminerl to
defend tlie.riiselves,and with a lllIlt'lI)I‘I’ oftlieii
friends, totlic atiiount ofabout thirty or forty
took post at the souili west corner of “labial
and Third streets, in a house belonging to,
and occupied by, Mr. Wilson: it was tlieu a
large, old fasbioncd,brick building, with an
extensive garden on Third, am! on Vllalntit
streets. Among those in the house, were
Messrs. VVilson, Morris. Burr], Geo. Clyriier,
Daniel Clyitier, Joltii 'I‘. Mifllin, Allen M’-
Lean, Sharp Delaticy, Geo. Campbell, Paul
Beck. Thomas Lawrence, Andrew ipbinsrrii.
John Potts, Samuel C. Morris, Capt. Camp-
bell, and Generals Mifliin, Nichols, 8L Tlioin-
son. They were provided with arms but their
stock ofaiirrnuiiitioii was very small. IVliile
the mob was niarching down, Gen. Nichols
and Daniel Clymer proceeded hastily to the.
arsenal, at Carpenter’s Hall, and filled their
pockets with cartridges : this constituted their
\\ bole supply.
In the n‘-ean time, the mob and militia, for
no regular troops took part in the riot,asse.in-
bled on the coiuinoiis, while a meeting ofthe
principal citizens took place at the coffee-
oiise. A deputation was sctrt to endeavor to
prev:iil on them to disperse, but without ef-
fect. The fiist troop of city cavalry, being
apprised ofwliat was going forward, and anx-
ious for the safety oftlieir fellow citizens, as-
sembled at their stables, a fixed place of ren-
dezvous,and agreed to have their horses sad
dled,aiid ready to mount at a moment's warti-
ing. Nvivice was to be given to as many mem-
bers as coirld be fouiirl ; and a part was to as
senible in Dock below Second street, andjoiri
the party at the stables. For a tiinea deceit-
ul calm prevailed : at the liotir of dinner, the
ineinliers of the troop retired to their respec-
tive homes, and the rebels seized the oppor-
tunity to march into the city. The armed men
amounted to 9200, and were coiiinianded by
Mills, a North Caroliira captain ; Faulkner, a
ship joiner ; Pickering, a tailor; &I. one Bon-
haui ztliey riiarr-lied rlowii Cliesnut to Second
street—down Second to IValnut——and tip
Walnut, to Mr. ’Wilson’s house, with drums
beating, and two pieces of caution. They
immediately commenced firing on the house,
which was waruily returned by the garrison.
Finding they could make no inipressioii, the
mob proctired from a b|acksiiiit|i’s shop in
the nciglibourltond, a crow-bar, and sledge,
and proceeded to force the .-loor. At the criti-
cal moment when the door yielded to their
efforts, the horse inarle their appearance: had
they succeeded in cffr.-cling an entrance,eve-
ry individual in the house would have, doubt-
less, been murdered.
After the troop had retired, a few of the
inetiibers, having received intelligence, that
the tiiob were riiarcliing into town, hastened
to the establistierl rendezvous. Collecting
thus by mere accident. their number only a-
inoniited to seven ;—-these were major Leti-
nox, m-,,jiit‘ Nic,...7!s, Tlionias Morris, Alexaii
rler Ncsbi't. Isaac Coxe, Tlrninas Leiper,and
nrajor Williaiir Nichols. This small body
resolved to attempt the rescue of their fellow
citizens. On their route, they were jniiirgrl
by two troopers,belongiiig to colonel Baylor’.-
regiment, quarto.-rerl at Bristol, and turning
rapidly and suddenly round the corner of
Clresiint street, they charged the uiob. When
the cry of “ the horse! the horse l” was rais-
ed, the rioters. ignorant of their uuinbr-rs, dis-
persed iii every direction :,bnt not bv.for'e two
other detacliiiieiitsofthe first troop had reach-
ed the scene. Many of them were arresreu,
delivered to the civil authority, and coiniiiit-
tcd to prison ; and as the stvurtl was very (re...
ly used. a coirsiderable iinitiber was seveifilt
wounded. One iirati, and one boy, were kil
led in the streets ; in the house, capt. Camp-
bell was killed, and Mr. Mifilin‘, and Mr.Sarii.

ded it during the night, and prepared to force
an entrance. Anxious to gain film‘-r he pledg-
ed his honor that he would open the door as
day light appeared. In the iiieau time, he
contrived to despatcli an intrepid wuinan,wlio
lived in his faitiily, to the city for assistarice;
and a party of the first troop arrived in season
to protectltheir comrade: but he was compel-
led to return to town for safety. He was, for
a number ofyears, saluted, in the rnarket, by
the title of “ brother butcher,” owing to part,
to his having been without a coat on the day

their lives were endangered. Gen. Miffliii,
and about thirty others, accordingly met at
Mr. Gray's house, abotit five miles below
Gra_v’saferry, where a council was called. and
it was resolved to return to town, without any
:ipp'r.-aratice ofititiinidatioii. But it was deein-
ed expedient, that Mr. Wilson should 8558!"
himself for a tiriie: the others contittuerl to
walk as usual in ptihlic, and attended. ll"? f"'

Thus ended this disgraceful affair. Had
it not been for the spirited, prompts 3_“d ‘3“'_

many very valuable citizen- and genuine
wlrigs. would have been sacrificed, 3'"d 3"
indelible disgrace entailed upon the city of

the concluding paragraphs of it jottriial kept
by a nieniber ofzi trading coinpany which has
recently ietiirrierl to Missottri fr. New Mexico.

July i9llr.——Tiavelled irithe nrirlstuf the
cliffs and knobs of the Rocky lVlouiita'rn ;—
the iitotriitains at this place are not exceed-
ingly high, brit appear to have been torn asun-
der by some uncoiiiinonconvtilsioris ofiiatnre,
and to rise in stiipendoiis knobs and points;
but little tiriiber to be seen in any direction ;
save a number of wild and uncomiuoii plums
arirl weeds, some of which were €XII'8lIlt.'l_)'
orloriferous anrl fragrant ; also a coirsirleriiblc
number of birds of various kinds.

Q'£rI. Arrived at the resirlericc ofa Mr. Juan
Perio, which is the first civilized liabrtatioir
we have seen since we left the U. S. 'I'ltis
wasto us a pleasing prospect, as we were po-
litely received. This man is wealthy, having
160000 head of sheep, and many cattle, hor-
ses, an.l riiirles. We ericauiped near his house,
where we had fine spring water.

93.1. Travelled over a very hilly broken
coiintty; encamperl in the itioiiritaiit without,

cattle. The sheep and cattle appear to be
smaller than those oftlte U. States.

25th. Arrived anrl encamped in the rear
ofSt. lllignel. Considerable rejoicing appear-
ed among the natives on our arrival, and they
welconied us with the best rritisic the place
:iti'orded. A description of this place can
best be given by coiiiparing it to a large brick
yard, where there are a number of kilns prrt
up and not burnt; as all the houses are made

ofbricks dried in the sun, and none ofihem
burnt ; all the roofs are entirely flat ; the in-
habitants appeared to me to be a miserably
poor people, but perfectly happy and content-
er|,and appeared very desirotis to make our_
situation as agreeable as possible.
27th. Left camp and travelled 8 miles on
otir way to Santa Fe, and eiicaniped near a
little village called St. James, where many of
the inhabitants visited us. These people ap-
pear to be fond oftlie Ainericans, and wish
to cultivate a good understanding with them.
§’.8th. Arrived at Santa Fe about dusk.-—
This is qtiite a populous place, but it is built
entirely of iiitirl liousr-.5; sortie parts of the
city are tolerably regularly birilt, others very
irregularly. The inhabitants appear to be
lrieiidly, and some of_ them are very wealthy;
but by far the greater part are the most’ mis-
erable, wretched, poor creatures tliatI have
ever seen ; yet they appear to be quite happy
and coriteiiterl in their miserable priest-ridden
situation. This city is well supplied with
good water; provisions very scarce; a great
many beggars to be seen walking the streets.

place is estiinated at 931 riiiles. Entered our
goods and arranged the taxes with the collect-

BeaI‘s.—'1‘licsr-. troublesome animals are
unusually numerous in this viciititythe pres-
out season. Scaicely a cornfield witliiti ten
miles from this has been free from their dep-
redaiinns. They have, however, generally
fled at the approacli ofuian ; though in a few
iirstances, they have dared to attack him ;one
or which deserves to be recorded.‘ '

A few evenings since, Mr. Adam Inman, of
‘0|'9n0r 00 his way home from this r)lar'e,\vlieii
abotit seven miles distant. was alarmed by a
riistlingaiiione; the rinrlerbush near the road
in which he wastravellinw. On listening he
was convinced that some wild animal had
scented the provisions with which his pack
was stowed, and was nialring haste to partake
of them. He ioriiicdiaiely faced about, drop-
ped on one knee, and presented his fowling
piece, well charged with ball and buck shot,
deieriiriued not to give ltpi the hard earned
fruits ofhis industry to the freebooter without
astrirggle to protect them. The animal made
his way directly to the road and rapidly ad-
vtint:_ed tipoii his wary enetiiy. Iiiiiiaii know-
ing from his footsteps that lie was near, (tlio’
the extreme darkness of the night prevented
him frorii seeing him) inclined his head as
near the ground as possible, in the hope of
getting asiglit of the foe before he should
close with him. In a moment, a bear, black-
er than the shades that surrounded him, and
one of the largest of the species, reared on
his ltirirl feet inrnierliately before him, 5:. with.
open mouth rushed on his prey. At this crit-
ical rnoiiient Ininari’s presence of mind did
not forsake him, but deliberately levelling" his
piece, he shot the sable robber tliroirgli the
heart arirl laid him dead at his feet. Sn near
was the bear that ltis hair was burned by the
l’0Wder of Mr. Intnan’s gun. His weight was
9.50 lbs. and his skin uicasured nearly six feet
in length.

 

Increase of height at RiTsi7tg.——Tlie Cartil-
aces between the vertebrae of the back bone,

j 24 in number, yield considerably to the pres-

sure of the body in an erect posture, aiirl ex-
pand themselves during the repose of night;
hence a person is corisidcitibly taller at his ri-
sing in the morning than at night. The dif-
fr rence in some amounts to as mticlt as one
inch; aiirl recruits who have passed riiuster
for soldiers in the morning, have been reject-
ed when re-measured at night, as below the
standard.

Dancing.-—-“ I am an old fellow,” says
Cowper in one ofhis letters to Hurdis, “ but
I had onceiuy dancing days, asyoti have now,
yet I never could find that I could learn half
so mtir:h ofa woman’s real character, by (lati-

cing with her, as by conversing with her at

home, when I could observe her behaviotir at
the table, at the fireside, and in all the trying
circninstances ofdoniestic life. We are all
good, when we are pleased, but she is the
good woman who wants not the fiddle to
sweeteri her.”

' Peach Trees.-—Those who wish to preserve
their Peach Trees, should dig around them
and destroy the woruis, leaving a hole routid
each tree during wititer. By this means peach
trees have been preserved front the destruc-
tion of woruis. The present is the proper time.

country about 10 iiionths, during which time
the following is the result of my observations,
&’.c. on the subject of the manners, customs.
Etc. of the cottntry anrl people:

On my arrival in New Mexico,Iwas as-
tonished at the blind zeal and enthiisiasiti of
the people, all professing the Catholic reli
gion, which I fotind to be the only religion
tolerated in the cotintry, and which I do verily
believe is the best that could possibly be es-
tablislietl among them, as they appear to live
iiioie happily trrrder their religious yoke than

I believe die as happily as any people in thr-
world. The lioniage and adoration which 0
they pay to their priests, far sin-pass that of
my other religious sect to their God, and is
rriiicli greater than they themselves pay their

the iriost unnieaniug ceremony.

As relates to their manners, (‘.tl<lOtllS, Zszc. I
am reluctantly constraiiied to say, that I do
not believe there is a people on the globe so
entirely destitute of correct moral principles
as the inliabitants ofNew Mexico, as I scarce
ly ki'row a single vice that is not indulged in
by them to very great excess, excepting that
.if intoxication, and the absence oftliis is ow-
ing to the scarcity ofardeiit spirits. In fact
.-.-very vice reigns among this people to the
greatest‘ extent that their poor miserable situ-
rition will admit. Injustice, however, Ican
not forbear to remark, that there does exist
among them one solitary virtue, and that is
lirispitality to strangers; for when I consider
itre scarcity there of human diet, I believe no
people would more willingly divide their mor-
--el with the stranger than they, -l‘ld‘ tlliat too
without any demand or expectation ofcom- 
pensation ;, bntifyou offer to return them the .
value, or ten titties as much, it will at all times

airy other profession I have ever known, and «
