Bill Johnson the Lake Bttccairecr.
The condition of tliefroiitiet‘, andthe events
that transpire daily, continue to excite the pub-
lic attention and interest. \Vliat maybe the
designs of the marauders, who suck either to
' etribroil the two Govoriiiiiciits, or to gratify their
desire of revenge or their thirst of plunder, un-
less arrested by th 2 stroiig arm, of both Gov-
€l’llmr' tits. well and speedily put forth, may be
gather d from the following facts, which we de-
rive from autlientlic sotirccs. _
Early in the Spring :1 party of refugees made
:1 lodgement on “The Tliousand Islands,” in
the St. Lawrence. The Leader of this gang is
William Johnsoti——well known in all that region
as Bill .Iohnson—anil known also as the leader
in the recent destruction of the SirRob. rt Pcel.
He is it Cantidian by birth, is about 58 ye.-.rs of
age, it. powerful frame, and of great fearless-
ncss and energy of clittrricter. He has four
sons who partake to rt coii.=itlct'able de,_.5i‘c:e of
the character of the father. He was employed
as it spy in the Atncricaii service during the last
war; and in the ct ursc of it performed niitny
bold and hazardous txploits. He had at his
conimand a six-cared barge, in which he roamed
the lake and the river, intercepting dcspatclics,
iittackiiig the small craft, seizing property, and
litirrassing the British settlements. On one oc-
casion he intercepted despatclres twice in one
day at Prcsque Isle. On another, his boat
liaviiig been driven on the Britisli shore in a
gale, and his crew captured, he eluded his ptir-
suers for a fortnight, and finally made his escape
in ti bark canoe, crossing the lake (36 miles in
width) alone in that frail vessel, and reached
Sackt.-t.t,’s Harbor in safety. Since the war he
has resided at 1"reiicliCi'cck, in the double ca-
pacity of trader and smuggler. It is said that
he boasts of liaving tr force uiiderliis inimediatc
cotnmaiid of 150 men ; but this is probably
an e-xargerattion,altliougb he has undotibtedly
more than those who were with him in the cap-
ture of the Sir Robert Peel, and coitld probably
comniand‘, if' necessay, I). much greater number.
The principal rendezvous and headquarters
of Johnson and his IllflI‘t‘.Lltlt3l‘S, is at a fastiiess
culled Fort VVa.ll.-ice, on an island at the beatlof
lVcll's Isand’ and within the British territory.
It is said to contain a fortificiition of much
strength of position; little is kuowii, however,
in relation toit, as Johnson reftises to let any
one not belonging to the gang visitit. He boasts
much of its strength and expresses the belief
that with a dozen men he could dcfetid it ngiiinst
the attack of two liuiidred. He has it second ren-
dezvous on Abel’s Island, itnmcdiately below
\Vells, Island, and opposite Alexantlriat Bay.
“The Tliousaiitl Islri.nds” are said to number
about seveiitecri litiudrcd, and vary in size from
ten miles in length to it single rock afoot square.
Vfclls’ Island (from whence the attack was
mttdc on the Sir Robert Peel) is the largest of
the group, and forms what is dcsigriatctl by the
sailors the Upper Nrirrows—tlie passage bring
iiig vcss-:.ls withiii pistol shot of the Island.-
Thcy occupy more than twenty five miles in
tire river, which in some places is more than ten
miles wide. They are little else than rock, with
occtisiorial patches of fertile land. Their sides
are in many parts perpendicular rocks, thirty
feel: in height, with abrupt shores and great depth
of water. They are generally covered with
dense forests and thick tuiderbrusli; and the
passages between them are iitiriow, wii.ding
and often rocky. It is scarcely possible to con-
ceive of a place better formed by nature to at‘.
ford a secure retreat for freeboctcrs than this
cluster of islands.
Johnson-has several boats, every way adapt.-
cd to his designs, one of which is forty feet. in
length, but of so slight a COllSI.l"dCllOI] as to be
Ct1.‘=ll_V carried across the islaritls,aiid its spi ad is
said to exceed that; of the swiftcst. boats on the
lake. Shortly after the dcstructioii of the Sir
R.obcrtPcel, he proceeded in this boat with it
few of his nrcn up the lake, niitdca prt'.-d.1tor_vin-
curs’on upon an island near the mouth of the Bay
of Quinta, and pltttidered the inhahitaiits, re-
turning on the night of the Bali inst. to the fast-
ncsses of “ The Tliousand lsl.tii«ls.” It is not
knovrn that he has been on the main land since
the biirriing of the Sir Rrobcrt, Peel. Ile has
had occasional interviews with some of otir citi-
zens since tlrat event, but they have taken place
on the water. IIe and those that attend liiui
on these occasions are well armed. His own
appearance, with six pistols, a dirk and ti bowie
knife in his belt, is sttfiicicritly l)t:lll__§Cl'CIll‘.; and
he has with him, it‘. is said invariably the colors
of the Sir Robert Peel. He considers the dos-
trtiction of tliittz vessel as air act of piracy, and
that his life has become tlicrcby forfeited, and
says he shall sell it at the Llt,'3.l‘:.‘Sl. rate.
Such is the clitiracter of the Buccaneer of
the Lake, sufficient surely, with the natural and
Ortllllilry progress of cxtiggei-irtiori, to be asubject.
of alarm to the border inliiibitarrts. Ari alarm
not altogctlier groundless, from the fact that
the larger islands of this IlUlDCl'(.llS group are
itiliabitcd by 3 lawless race of half baiiditti ; who
would sc:ircc.y scrtiplc to join in any enterprise
for plunder; who have per-littps one hundred
boats,i3.nd whose ntirnbcr has been enlarged cori-
-Slt.l0l'l}l‘y by i-cfiigce accrssioiic. It is eupgoir d
that there are at least otiutltotistititl refugees anti
other persons on these islands, under the coit-
trol and at the Comm-'l.ll(.l of Johnson, and sev-
eriil thousirnds of refugees bctivccn Ningra and
Ogrlensburgh.
It is not to be imagined. that the local militia,
or the local autliorities, liowevcr well disposed
to cooperate with the ofliccrs of govcriiiiiciit in
nicasiircs to repel and prevent t'iii-so irrutirsiiilifi.
and to detect and punish the iiiariititlcrs, are
adequate to the emergency. The C0mm“-l't‘-9 "f

.THE PULASKI.
\Ve gather the following additional particulars
of the tlrcatlful wreck of this ill fated vessel.
from the Baltimore. Chronicle. Shcsailed from
Savannah on the 13th .lnne, wiili about 90 pas-
sengcrs, and arrived at Ch_arlcston the same day;
whence she sailed the next nioriiing with (5-5 ad-
ditional passengers. At 11 o'clock that night
her starboard boiler, cxplodt;d with great vio-
lence, shattering the boat so badly, that she soon
separated into tl.rcc parts. Some of the pas
st-ngcrs and crew clung to such portions’ of llle
boat as reniaiiied above watcr—-others placed
tlicmselvc-s upon sottecs, and fragorctits of the
wreck.
“ Them w re fuur ho.-its lieloiigirig to the boat;

were both lowcicil down, \‘.'l.lllli'l five triitititcs of

the crew lauiiclied one oftlte dcck boats and got
into her; but as, fiotri her long exposure to the
stin, her scanis were all open, she iiiiiiiciliutcly
filled.”
About 12 0’-:lock the next night the two side
boats succeeded in reaching the heacli, hut rriaiiy
oftheir occupants were lost in landing. in conse-
quence ofthe heavy breakers which were dasli—
ing oii the shore.

\Vhile on the subject ofthe dt.-ft-at ofthe Sub-
Treasury and also the repeal ofthe Specie Cir-
cular, we cannot express in terms too strong the
obligations the country is under to the Conserva-
tives. VVe have never been mistaken in their
motives, or in the high value and importance
which the \Vhigs, as a party, attach to their
services, particularly to Mr. ScnatorTallmadge,
ofiliis s'ate, who took the lead in declaring for
the country. its Constitution, happiness and
prosperity, in preference to remaining attached
to his old political frietids. M r. Rives also ile-
serves great praise for his manly independence
on this subjeitt. How are we to change our
rulers-—how substitute law and liberty for vio-
lence and despotism-—excepting the good and
patriotic men in the Z‘illl‘l)ll)lSll‘Etll“l) ranks willi-
draw from a party which they can no longer sup-
port with honor and safety. Our ranks must be

New ST:-:rminoAT.—A splendid boat, called
the Dcspatch, has recently been built in New-
York, for the purpose of testing the utility of a
boiler constructed upon a new principle. by
Phineas Bennet-, Esq. The principal object of
the iiivcntion is to save fuel. The Dcspatcli
niadea trip last week of 7-1 miles, at an average
speed of 13; miles per hour, atitl consumed but
25 cords of wood; and that of a quality which
could not have been used in any other boat, It
was a inixturc of sycamore, butternut, chestnut,
and black oak, all green, and bought for 13
