J CLARENCEVILLE, 25th March, 1339.
SIR : I beg to inform you ofthe pa-_1'U°”_l3‘"5
ofa small affair that took place in this neigh-
borhood last night, or rather earlytlits morn-
ing. About 3 o'clock, an armed party from
the United States, in sleiglis, drove down on
the ice until opposite our piqtiet on Beach
Ridge, (the scene ofsonie of their burning.)
and then coniiiienccd firing small arms, but
without effect, as our piquet had "disposed of
themselves under cover, awaiting their nearer
approach, the distance beiitg too great for
"precise aim. The brigamls then fired a can-
non and decamped in the direction of Alburg
Springs. A detachment of the Qtisec-n's_ light
dragoons, and the light company of Col.
Dyer’s regiment, arrived soon after in sup-
port of the piqut,-t, and marc.li’cd tip to the
line, near which a body of the bt'tgantls re-
mained until the nearapproach of our foi'_c.e.
Upon our arrival at the spot on the ice
from whence the firitig took place, we found
the cannon, at wooden one, burst, and a new
United States musket with an iron six pound
ball, and a quantity of caution shot lying scat-
tered about. From tlie appearance of some
pieces ofthe woodeti canrion, I ant led to be-
lieve that several ofthe brigands were wound-
ed by its bursting, marks of blood bring dis-
tinctly visible on the pieces and ice arourid.
The firing on the piquets in this vicinity ‘IS
not an unusual occurrence, but from the dis-
tance the sliots came from, and our precau-
tion in placing the sentiiies under cover, no
damage has been received. Had the caution
not burst. tve have every reason to suppose
thata more extend:-d attack was intended. 115
we are informed that a considerable force from
another point convenient to us in readiness to
march in, and as Nelson, Cote, Gagtion ani
Grog-an are tiow at the Springs, only four
miles distant, anotherattack is expected.
P. S. I have heard that one of the Ameri-
cans is killed, and ‘some wounzled, by the
bursting of the wooden gun: they are now
at the Alburg Springs, one mile and a hall
from our line.
From the St. Albcms lllesscnger, 28th ult.
Fires on the Frontie’r.—-Fires on our fron-
tier seem to increase iii a fearful ratio. For
the last two weeks there have been one or
more fires almost every night. Apparently
they arealtertiatcly each side of the line.——
Retaliation appears to be the order of the
night. We are notable to state the extent of
the burning, but presume from the number of
fires seen from this place, and what we have
heard, that quite a number of buildings have
been burned, the greater part of them bu ms,
and the most ofthem situated in Champlain
and Oslletown. In the latter place we are in-
formed that a large house was burned, and oti
Friday night previous two barns belonging to
it. Last Sunday night one or two barns in
Alburgh were destroyed. VVe hope to be
able to give further particula rs next week.
From the Burlington Sentinel, ‘25t/'2. ult.
From the Fronticr.—The following is an
extract from a private letter dated
Albnrg/2., Jlfoflc/t ‘.22, 1839.
"' “’ * “ Captain Porter’s company ofregu-
lars are ordered from this point, and leaveto-
‘l'fl0l'l'O\V morning; the company stationed at
'I‘roy are also withdrawn, to join the head
quartet‘s of the regiment. at Plattshut-gh.—
The excitement at Roast-.’s Point is very
great, in consequence of the burnings which
have been kept up for nearly two weeks.—-
Quite a number of families are moving out
of the place, or rather the female part ofthem.
You can have. little idea of the alarm and
conftisioii which prevail there as soon as
night falls. Every man in this place is on
duty, and fifty mounted dragoons are station-
ed on the lines, yet with all this precaution,
they have fires all around them. Several
fires have occurred within sight of the guard,
and while they were extinguishing one an-
other has broken out in another direction.”
Later Still.—By a letter from Alburgh,
dated Mondaylast, on which implicit reliance
may be placed, we learn that the barns be-
longing to Mr. Covey, an enterprising farm-
er in Albtirgh, were burned by a gang of
“loyal volunteers” on‘ the Saturday night
previous. Six or eight heid of cattle, two
horses, and about ten tons of hay were also
destroy-.-d. Our correspondent adds that
scarcely a night has passed for three weeks,
without the heavens being llllllnlmtled by the
light from some incendiary fire in that vicini-
ty.

is the anecdote:

have a cent and go to bed without any sup-
per ?” Answer. "We all will, mitt-t-.*’
The next morning he would say, “ Will vbu

with one accord. Thus he would get his
money back again, atid cheat them out ofour»
meal worth double the amount.

Jurisdiction ofthe Aroostook.—In the very
first year after the separation of Maine from
Massachusetts, the Land Agent of Maine
under the direction of Gen. King then Gov.
went on the Aroostook and drove off the
British trespass-ers, with whom he settled,
they giving their notes to him for the timber
cut by them. These notes were afterwards
collected by suits brought in courts of the
Province of New Brunswick. No question
was at that time raised about the jurisdiction

‘ MAJOR D0‘>VNING’S LETTER.
\VAsii1Ncro.\', 2d April A. D. 1839._
To Squire Biddle-—I got your letter tellip
me you had quit the bank, and intended. if
you could possibly so manage matters, to go
to farming. I know _this has always been
your notion, and that you would do so as soon
;iS‘,’Oll see all things clear ahead ; and :1 man
who has been cypherittg so hard as you have
for over twenty years, for the public, now I
think has sortie riglit to dig his own potatoes
and hoe his own corn, and take a little com-
fort in his own way. But somehow I feel,
Squire, a little waniblecrop’d, jist as [did
when the Gineral left and went home to the
Hermitage; and tho’ you have left in your
place as good a man to tnttriagc the bank as
the Gineral has left to manage the govern-
ment, I hope you will keep an eye on m. t-
ters and things, and give as much of your ad-
vice in matters you understand to Mr. Dun-
lap and his cabinet, as the Gineral does to
Mr. Van Buren and his cabinet. The fact is,
you and the Gineral I always thought was
made of pretty much the same kind of grit,
and both on you considerably overworked
yourselves, tho’ the Gincral got the best pay.
I used to tell the Gincral—says I, “ Gineral
you are-too good natured by half, you not on-
ly do government work but you dip into prit-
tv tnuch all kinds of work that no other
President ever thought on,” and the fact is,
the Gineral did carry matters so far, or let
other folks carry him so fill‘ that there was
few things going be was not tnixed up with,
about the country would’nt set a hen, with-
out writing or calling on the Gineral to ask
him which was the most lucky number of
eggs to put in the nest, ll eggs or 13 eggs;
and it almost wore him to skin and botie. I
believe you was the only man that was able
to outwork the Gineral, and if it h:.d’nt ben
that you was a Ieetle younger than he was,
lie’d made a tooth pick on you as he did of
pritty much all the rrst ofcreation. But as I
said afot'e, I am considi rablc tvamblecropt at
your leaving public life; for now that the
Gincral has goneito home and you too; I
feel souiewliat cttt out. Mr. Van Ruren
dont seem to want my services no how, and
I dont complain of that ; I did expect to get
a chance “ Down East,” but be selected Gin-
eral Scott; a man that outrttnked me all hol-
low, as he does pritty mtich every man now
adays. I-Iowsever, Gineral Scott did’nt for-
get me, and said that ifthere was any fight-
ing to he done among the Loggers. he knew
who he could count on, and look’d me strait
in the face; and I sat down and writ a letter
m:trk’d “ confirlential’ to the “2d Brigade,”
and tcll’d ’eiii to stand firm and obey no or-
ders but Gineral Sc0tt’s; that it was a na-
tional matter, and he was a national officer;
and when ht" said "Shoulder hoo,” then to
march and follow him to Holton or Halifax,
or any other place beginning with an H, if
he chose to lead; and in that way they would
not only have a Fair/ield, but would be stire of
a " Winfield,” and that was tnore important.
In the matter of fighting, there is one thing
I always keep my eye on ; and I found
Gineral Scott in the same way of thinking ;
and that is, to depend less on folks who say
they are “ready to shed the last drop of
their blood,” than oti men who are ready to
shed the first drop. Give a man eight dol-
lars a day to make speeches in Congress,
with the right of free postage, and you hear
enuf of “last drop” matters; but when it
comes to camp duty, and raw beef and stale
bread, and bagmt work, then the “first drop”
folks have to stand the racket at 8 dollars a
month. Itell’d Gineral Scott-—says I, " Gin-
eral, I suppose you would about as leave
fight as eat, for that is your tiatur; but for
my part seeing as how things are gittin on
remarkably smart now all over the country,
and the spring of the year too, and the new
improvements every day. leaves and grass,
and the children all sprouting, and the canals
and railroads about half made, and the cotton
crops jist about bagging, and the banks all
jest getting into specie payments, and every
thing looking about slick; to say nothing
about the steamboats crossing the ocean every
wcek——it does seem to me that a war wotit
help matters no how.” "I know that,” says
he, Major—“ War is a great calamity, and
there aiiit only one thing worse,” says he.
“ What is that .7” says I. “National dis-
honor.” says he straitening up pritty nigh
ike an Aroostook pine. “Go ahead you
lcrittur,” says I, " and if there is any chop-
ping to be done Down East, let me know.”
\'Vell, you see what he has done; and all
I've got to say about it thus far is, that when
you come to think that a man nigh upon
seven foot high and strait as a bean pole, and
all grit from one eend to tother, is willing to
work like a beaver at all pints—Soutli and
South West, North and North East, and
Dowtt East, to keep ati honorable peace; and
watching like a linx, to see that the nation’s
M0001‘ is no way siled——I do think tho’ a war
would give me a considerable boost up in the
world in military rank,‘ the man who keeps
the peace is, according to the Good Book, en-
titled to a ble:ssing—espccially if war is his
trade.
Tliere is one thing I think Mr. Van Bu-
rcn desarves great credit for, and that is in
commanding the sarvices of such a man as
Gineral Scott to manage all matters of this.
natur; and there is only one thing more I
think is wanting, and that the people are en-
titled to, and that is some one to manage the
xuoney matters of the country as well. I go
on_the principle, that ifa man does right in
using the best plough he can git on his farm,
znd sowing the best grain-—jest so a Presi-
la.-nt does right in calling into the sarvice of
the country the best talent the country has-—
oiffee is, The poor thing was considerably
confused, but dctcrrnined to pay him jn his
the people are entitled to it——and if party folks
grumble, they should take it out in gmmb.
till it got so at last thatalmost every old lady’
ling. Look what Party has done already
for some years back—" Scratch ploughing.
and smutty crops”—but enuf of t_his._ ~
I thank you for your kind invitation to
stop and eat Peaches with you “ when they
are ripe,” and as I remember you have got
some capital early apple trees on your farm,
I’ll stop and take a bite on my way North,
and a chance at the peaches when I return
back, jest by way of reminding you of old
times in the bank ; for jest, so sure you re-
member, when you t.ell’d folks you thought
peaches would be ripe in September, they
would be down upon you to geta nip ofearly
apples in June, and then letch up on the
peaches arterwards.
The fact is, Squire, I am desperately afraid
now that you and the Gineral have both
backed out and gone to get some quiet and
rest; that a good tnany on us will have cause
to feel that good times have gone by; only
with this difference, that the Gineral’s extra
work came from his notion of “rewarding
friends and punishing enemies,” and you
went on the principle of feeding both ; and
one was about as hard work as totlier.
As Amos Kindle haint yet got a post of-
fice nigh your farm, I send this Letter to the
" New York Express,” toprint and send out,
and I suppose you’ll git it st-mehowthat way
best. '

THE ELECTION.
‘Wc have but few, and trifling alterations
to make in the results which we published
lastweck. Taking into consideration the
fact that the information which we then gave
to the public, embraced returns from every
county in the State, collected and placed in
our hands in less than 24 /tours after the votes
were declared, the results were remarkably
accurate. \Vc shall defer publishing a state-
ment of the votes in each town not in this
County, until we receive the o_/ficial an-
nouncement of the returns. It is enough for
the present to know, that the result which we
gave last week, was substantially correct.
We have elected our entire State Ticket,
six Members of Congress, and six out of
eight Sheriffs. There is some uncertainty
about the result in-the 19th Senatorial Dis-
trict. If a Whig Senator is elected in that
district, the Senate will stand 14 Whigs to 7
Loco-Focos. The VVhigs have elected 103
members of the House of Representatives}
the Loco Focus 75 ; and the Conservatives 2.
In 14 towns there is no choice, and 4 others
entitled to 2 members each have chosen .but
one.

Cold Comfor-t.—Some of the Loco-Foco
papers in this State are wonderfully pleased
to learn that they have not lost every thing.
The poor fellows are very easily satisfied
after election. Ten days ago they were ab-
solutely certain of carrying thcirentire State
Ticket, and every Member of Congress; and
their readers wcreiitold, that the impending
election was the most important that had oc-
curred, or would occur, for years. The fate
of Martin Van Buren and the Sub-Treasury
depended upon it—and it would be a burn-
ing disgrace to the Locos ifthey suffered the
Whigs to triumph over them in this most
eventful crisis. John M. Niles too, had Said.
that it was impossible to burn stubble over
for two years in succession, but the VVhigs
lint-e done it, and the ashes ofthe stubble is now
enriching the soil for a more profitable and
abundant harvest. And now, it is a lesson
for a philosopher, to witness the composure
and equanimity with which the poor fellows
sustain tlir-.ir defeat. Indeed they absolutely
have the fortitude to rejoice that it is no
worse! They have succeeded in electing
their Sheriffs in the Counties of New-Lorn
don and Middlcsex, by a mere handful of
votes, and yet they chuckle vastly more over
this partial success, than the VVhigs have
the magnanimity to do. over six Sheriffs,six
Members of Congress, :1 Governor, Lient.
Governor. Secretary of State. Treasurer,
Comptroller, two-tltirds of the Senate, and a
large majority in the House of Representa-
tives, whom t/zey have most triumphantly
elected. Verily, “sweet are the uses of ad-
versity !” _
93” The election, by the VVhigs of Con-
necticut of six Members of Congress, with a
corresponding loss to the Loco-Focos, almost
insures a Whig majority in the next Nation-
al House of Repre-sentatives,and consequent-
ly, the election of a Whig Speaker.
In order to ascertain the precise majority
in this State opposed to Martin Van Buren
and the Sub-Treasury, the Conservative vote
should be added to that of the \Vhigs. The
result gives a majority of nearly 4000.

M1LK.——VVe learn from a communication
in the N. Y. Observer, that the quantity of
milk required for the daily supply of the
cities of New-York and Brooklyn, is about
15,000 gallons; which, at six cents a quart‘,
amounts to t/tree tliousand seven lmndred and
fifty dollars per day, or in round numbers.
to fifteen lznndred thousand dollars a year.
This is certainly an immense business, and
when the ‘extremely bad quality of the milk
which is generally used in those cities is
considered, there can be no doubt, that, with
3 plentiful supplyfof a pure, healthy and
nutritious article, the consumption would be
greatlyincreased, -
The farmers in this vicinity, with a little
enterprise and‘ industry, might very easily
come in for a share of this fifteen hundred
thousand dollars. The town of Greenwich,
for six months past, has sent large quantities
of milk, daily, to New-York rri_arket—gene-
rally by steamboat, and at other times in
waggons. This is certainly an enterprise
ers in this neighborhood, who are desirous--‘
of turning their dairies to the.best account. T
The writer in the Observer, thus concludes
the article above referred to:
“Addressing practical men who are accus-
tomed to the management of dairies, it is not
necessary to enter more fully into particulars.‘-
The present design is merely to exhibit such
an outline as will afforda general view of
the subject. No prudent man will embark
in the business without minute and accurate
information. To such an examination on
are now invited, and it is confidently believ-
ed, the more attractive it will appear. The
present slop-milk system must sink. Itis too
horrible to be endured. ‘The vicinity of the
City of N. York for 30 years past, has not
been adequate to the supply of the inhabit-
ants with pure milk, and the means ofdoing
it are constantly diminishing. Natural food,
ppre air. and exercisejor cows might be fur-
nlsheg, it is believed, to a much greater ex-
tentt an is now attempted; but nothingthat
is here possessed can compete with your su-
perior natural advantages. Bring, then, the
