I T is in contemplation to memorialize the ensuing Congress
in favor of such Non-Commissioned Otficers and Soldiers
hf tho Army of the Revolution, as enlisted for three years,
served to the close of the war, and were honorably dtscharg
ed. and who receive no pensions.
With this view, it is deemed expedient to ascertain their
number. Will some person in each of the United States vol
unteer in this service, and communicate the result as soon as
practicable t# JAMES FAIRLEE, Esq. City Hall, N. Y ?
The parties interested are most likely to be found in the
humbler walks of life—Officers of the Revolution, and patri
otic citizens, will therefore do well to circulate this notice—
their patronage is solicited.
To the good feeling and liberality of the press towards them,
the old Army are much indebted, and by a gratuitous insertion
of this in their respective papers, Editors will confer one more
favor (and it has much the appearance of being the last,) on
a meritorious, but much injured remnant of that army, who
are about to ask of their country, not charity, but justice.
A'ote —Claimants must be particular to put down their
whole time of service, whether in one or more campaigns,
and their present place of residence, and pay their postage.

A great quantity of provisions and munitions of wai
were found in that place. It is the central point oi
the commerce of tho sea of Marmora, nut far distant
from the old forts of the Dardanelles in Europe, ti
which there is a good road along the coast. The same
advices mention a deputation sent by the Divan toGen

peace were open, not to attack the capit 1 ; as the
mere approach of the Russian troops might excite »
popular insurrection, which would expose Constanti

eneral D. replied to the envoys, that it depended on
the Porte lo save the capital and prevent the effusion
of blood ; that the declaration of the Emperor at tin

military operations w uld follow their course, until the

THE PUMPKIN-VINE.
In the year seventeen hundred and twenty odd. Dea
con VY'restlc-likp-Jucob-nnd-pre vail-like-Israel Pratt,
sometimes shortened into Restless Pratt, resided
upon
a fine farm in the town of Lyme, oil the hanks of the
beautiful Connecticut. Deacon Pratt was an excel
•ent man, ami a devout believer in witchcraft ;
undertaking nnv piece of work upon his farm without
drictly attending to the exorcisms indisprnsih!o%t that
time in guarding against the wiles of the e.nemie, which
were very rife in Connecticut during the early part of
:ts history It is even laid that the Deacon had taken
the precaution of nailing a horse shoe over his garden
gate. A fact that we consider exceedingly important
in this history, inasmuch as it was in this very garden
that the identical pumpkin seed was planted from which
grew the vine we are about to immortalize ; the tre
mendous growth of which is thus rescued from any sus
picion of necromancy. Our pumpkin (other and less
accurate writers would say our hero, and many a pump
kin-headed one have they had.).was very remarkable
even in its birth : for it came out of the ground in
seeming maturity, and covered with full formed leaves,
is Richard the hump-backed came into the worid with
a lull set of grinders. In the course of the night, it
grew over the garden wall, or rather grew down the
wall, for it did'ntstop to climb, but scattered the stones
like so many pebbles
rito Narvaganset mare, who in endeavoring lo pace out
of its way, broke down in the race, and was found in
the morning hors du combat. The Deacon was, of
course alarmed at these troublesome ami tremendous
strides of his pumpkin, but as it took a direction to
wards tho river, which it very soon crossed into Say
brook, he thought he had gotten rid of it, and remain
ed quiet. However, though at that early day, pump
kins, like empire, seemed determined to travel West
ward there was a re-action in one as well as the other:

planned by the visitation, had called a town meeting,
and appointed Captain Return Nott,ar.d Serjeant VVel
