II V hn. 8. C )XPT0N EM1TII. Among thf! Iii.t'irical events of cur last war villi Englund, I am not aware that any record lift ever leen made of the IJalile of Sandy Creek, although that affair is frcn"h in the meosurj of the older residents of the vicinity. It was from the lips of persons still living and who i articif atcd in the light, that I gnthered the account of it I pive below. Sandy Creek in formed by two beautiful ptreunm the Xoith S;mdy and the South Sandy. These ri.ing in the western fart of Lewis county, run through the south western corner of Jefferson out.ty, iu the State of New Yi.ik, and uniting two miles from their mouth, empty into Lake 0;ita ii about twenty wiles south of Sackets Harbor. Aftt r the capture, by tho Americans, of Toronto, then called Little York, and while our troops were preparing to embaik from that place, on the expedition agninct Fort George, ut the mouth of the Niagara, tho llriti.-h, :it Kingston, having gained intelligence ( f the unprotected situation ; f Sacken lluibor, de ermioed to makn a sudden and unexpected attack upou that town. The reduction of th:i post was of the ut mnt-t importai ce to the enenij-, as it was our only na-'al depot on Lake Otiti ri and the chief ore on the line of the great Lakes; for the saUant IVrry had just com moored that of Lake Krie, at the little town of Erie. At SuckeM Harbor had lecn collected valuable tnilitaiy stores ;. and rebels of war, dtvtined lor service on the Lake, were in process of construction some already afloat, and others still on tho stocks. On the evening of the 27 th of May, 1?13 the same day or which Fort George was captured the Koglish made their appear ance off the entrance of the harbor. The fleet was under the command of Sir James Yeo ; while tho landing cf the troops, and the attack upon the town, was directed by Sir George l'rov s On the following day, (tho8th,) the delarkati: n was expected, on the peninsula called Horse Island, a short distance from the town. The attack on this place, and the repulse of the enemy, i well known to all familiar with the history ot the war ; and I refer to it only as it is connected with tha affairs at Sandy Creek. But before leaving this portion of the subject, however, it may be well to slate that the toree brought against Sackets liar "nor consisted of the Wolfe, the Koval George, the Prince Regent, the Earl of Moira, and one brig, two schooners, and two gun boats, with thirty threo barges, containing in nil twelve hundred troops. Failing in his designs upon the place, Sir James Yeo, somewhat crestfallen, that a handful of raw militia should have eivco his veterans so rough a reception, lifted his anchors, and directed his coarse up the lake, intending to look into Oswego, and along the American shore, on his way to Fort George and Little York. On arriving off the mouth of Sandy Creek, he detached the two schooners from tbe fleet, with ordeis to proceed up tbe creek to tbe point wber it was supposed the Americans hud accumulated supplies for unaunce;' squadron ; and alter transfer ring as many as these stores as possible to tha vessels, to destroy the remainder, and the buildings, and otherwise molest the inhabitants and their prorertv. In obedience to these instructions the schooners steered for tho entrance to the creek. But a bar extending across the mouth prevented the passage of tbe largest vessel. Tbe other, however, had no diffi culty ; and having entered, lay to, while too iiruienani in command ana other ofE ccrs landed on the beach to reconnoitre. At this point, which is a treeless sand bank, with the waves of the lake breaking in ironr, ana a aeep, impenetrable marsh m the rear, stood a solitary frame bouse a sort of tavern for the accommodation of fishing parties, from the surrounding coun try ; and in the upper window of which was kept a light for the benefit of those navigating the lake. This houte is still 8tandiog, and occupied for the same pur pose. At tbe time of the arrival of the British vessels, this house was occupied by a man named Lawrence, who to the business of a tavern keeper, added that of a fisherman, and occasionally that of a trapper. Entering the house, the liritish t fficers ordered the landlord to set before them the choicests liquors he had ; and while seated at the table, eniovinz their drink, tbev plied him with interrogations relating to me condition and amount of the stores up .L . 1 ' tuecrecK. Lawrence, who had been employed at various times, at the landing, io assisting in stowing away the supplies, was enabled to answer their questions satisfactorily. " Are there any soldiers there to guard these stores T" demanded tbe lieutenant. ' No," was the reply. They are in charge of a deputy commissary, assisted only by two or three hired men." "Are jou sure there are no soldiers there?" was jiext asked. "Certainly I am," replied Lawrence, " for it's scarcely three hours since I re turned from the landing, and the only persons there were those I have men tioned." " Well, my man, yon must go aboard with us, and pilot us to the place. And, mind ye, if you have li?d to uh, we will hng you to the first tree there." "I hnve no ol jection to pilot you, gen tlemen," returned the tavern-keeper. But that is scarcely necessary, as there is water enough all the way tu the landing to float the largest vessel in your fleet. You have only to sail up the South Branch, and the stores you are in search of are on the firnt firm ground you will reach." oatienecf with these words, the officers returned to the schooner. But to prevent the escape of the landlord, incase he had wmtimr tbeytoUcwrth -tneWBisT boats, and proceeded on their way. Lawrence had answered truly, so far as he knew. But the attack upon Sackets Harbor had aroused the country, and every man capable of bearing arms was on the alert Tbe progress of tho British fleet had been atched from all the headlands ; and when it was seen to steer towords tbe mouth of Sandy Creek, fleet horsemen were vent out to spread the alarm. Bodies of militia, on their way to the harbor, turned back at the tidings, and hastened toward the threat ened point. Colonel Ackley, of Ellisbnrgh. with his men, and a small force of Seneca Iadians, being nearest to the ?lace, arrived at the landing while the British officers were in dulging in their grog and bluster at the Deacii; ana taking their position so as not to attract attention, the Americans awaited the arrival of the schooner. Ackley and his militia tmk possession of the store house and the timber in the vicin ity, while the Senccas crossed the creek, and secreted themselves in the high grass of the marsh a little below ; so that the at tacking party would be taken in front and flank. The creek ot this point was about fiftv yards wide, with low, marshy banks, ex cept at the landing, which was oji the right tianic, noout tiit.it a mile above the conflu ence of tho two branches. Having; reached the mouth of South Sandy, the bend in this stream making the light breeze unfavorable, boats were ordered ahead to tow the vessel toward the landing. So confident was the officer in .command that no at torn pt would be made to prevent his landing, that ho did not even take the usual precaution to send boats iu advance to reconnoitre. In order to facilitate the towintr of the vessel against the current, her sails were lowered, and she came up slowly toward the firm ground, whero she had arrived be fore her commander had any suspicion of the trap into which he was running. i.veu tno Indians lay qmetlv in their nm bush, awai.ing the preconcerted sicnal of attack. A the schooner hove in sisht. her decks were discovered to be full of troops; for, beside the regular crew, sho carried large numbers of the soldiers of Sir Georce Pro vost that had been distributed through the fleet. The vessel also carried four carron- ades, two in the bows, and tbe others amid ship. Slowly and noiselesly she passed to her berth, and the lines were sent on shore, and made fast to trees. Already had a number of ledcont leaped to the shore, when the signal of opening the fiie of musketry and rules upon tlieui was given, and a deadly discharge was poured from the windows of the storehouse and the surroundieg thicket This firing wm instantly -esponded to bj bv the Indians upon the further side of the creek, who filled the air with their tierce war-whoops, and rained a destructive fire upon the enemy. The young lieutenant in command of the vessel, a brave but eiidvntly imprudent officer, whs seen to fall a? he was urging his men to the hore. This event seemed to throw his crew iuto confusion, and for several minutes they were shot down with out returning a shot. Each officer, now ondcavoring to take the c immar.d, and one, a lieutenant of the land troops, who, cinong others, had reached the shore, sprang back to the deck of the schooner, and catching up a burning match applied it to one of the guns, which, being charged with grape shot, and directed to wards the fiicket, where were a portion of our men, did some execution, killing one man and wounding others. The report of the carronade seemed to recall tbe scattered senses of the sailors and redcoats, and they returned to the vessel, aiid with their comrades w ho had remained on board, now opened upon the Americans. The four guns were also brought to bear, and their deadly missiles hissed fiercely through the timber, where their effects are to be neen to this day. But their range was too high to do much other execution. It became an object with the Americans to eilence these guns. Good marksmen were therefore selected, whose orders were 1 1 watch tbe gunners and shoot tbetu down nt their pieces. These men carried to the fight the rifles they were accustomed to using at home. Tbey made it their boast that they never shot a snnirrol nnlelhrmieh the head, always taking sight at the eyeof tne game, inougu none ot them bad ever had occasion to tty their skill upon men before, tbey were ool as well as couraee our, ind every shot told. No euoner did one of tbe enemy approach a eun with match in hand, than he fell to the deck with a rifle ball through bis heart. Man after man fell in this way. till nine teen of them had fallen at tbe breeches of the guns, and other refused the dangerous duty. Tbe young rEcer Tvho had applied the first match, aud who appeared to have tak en command, seeing that his men hung back from the pieces, snatched a linstock from the deck, and advancing to one of tbe guns, was just io the act cf touching tbe priming, wnon, aropping the stall suddenly from his hand, he fell lifeless to the deck. His body was afterwards examined, and ovor the region of the heart were found nine rifle ball boles, all within a compass that couiu oecoverea witti the hand. The enemy now bethouzht them of en deavoring to retreat from this deadly fire by tuning lueir tines ana leuingtne scnooner drop down on tbe stream, below the firm ground, and out of tho reach of the Aaieri cans. At first she foil slowly from the landinc till, passing out icto the current she would soon bave got beyond the range of tho mi litia. Jiut in their baste to oepart, orders were given to hoist up their sails, when, tbe breeze striking upon them, threw the bows of the vessel bard into tbe mud of the opposite marsh, and she stuck fast. The Senecas now opened upon her. while tbe riflemen on the ether side picked off tue men, as they attempted, with pikesand oars to get the vessel's head again into tbe aeep water At length, finding it impossible to effect their escape, the schooner struck her flag, in token of surrender. Col. Ackley. on seeing this, of course gave the order to cease firing; but the blood of the Indians waa up tliey Lad hit several of their war JOL1ET, ILLIlfelS, MAY 2S, 1S61. riors, and regardless of the shouts of the officer, continued to shoot dewn tbe unre- I sitting English, till the brave colonel, mounting hi horse, which was near at hand, spurred him into tbe stream, and swimming him to the opposite side, rushed w ith sword in hand among the infuriated savages. So determined were they on re venge, that Ackley f iord it necessary to threaten the life of their chief, if he did not call off his warriors. " Me remember Buffalo 1 Me remember Buffalo!" exclaimed tbe Indian as be re luctantly ordered his people to desist. On board the schooner, her decks were covered with tbe dead and wounded. Sail ors and soldiers wero piled indiscriminate ly together. The loss in killed and wound ed amounted to upwards of forty ; while tbe prisoners, who were conyeyed to Sack ets Harbor, were something less than half that number. The Americans, who were all raw mili tia, with tbe exception of the vmall force of Senecas, and who bad never before been in ; action, amounted to between one and two' huficTrea ; but many of lhem were-armed only with such Inefficient weapons as they snatched up on the sudden call, and which they had nut been able to discharge during mo ngnt. lhe dead were buried, with tho honors of war, near the spot where the action oc curred ; and the wounded who could not bear tbe transportation in wagons, to the military hospital at the Harbor, were dis tributed among the farmers, where they were Kindly cared tor. lhe loss of the Americans wae three killed and seven wounded. bile the prisoners were being mustered preparatory to the march towards Sackets il arbor, the following amusing and chnrae teri6tio incident iccurred. The officers were furnished wagons, but the private soldiers and sailors were to follow on foot under a sufficient guard. Amone the last was a large, burly, double fisted John Bull, whose form hod been conspicuous in the fight, and who was a brave fellow. Though a prisoner, this buge sailor bad not surren dered ; and with a dogged sullenness, he swore " no live Yankee should ever force it"; to march 1" Hearing this, a young farmer lad, not large, but compactly built, who was the sergeant of the guard stepped up to tho sullen fellow, and good-naturedly icijucsicu uiui io iuu into His place add ing: "You are among friends now. Jnclt. what'o the use of being obstinate f Move along old fellow 1" lhe sailor, casting upon tho strini;ni n look of genuine English scorn, whipped bis knife from its sheath, and aimed a. fierco and deadly blow at his breat. lhe sergeant, seems mischief in thesnil or'a eye, was on his guard, and springing aside avoided the blow, then throwing his musket to the ground, be struck the Eng lishman a blow with his clenched fist, be tween the eyes, that felled him like a bul lock to the ground. The sailor was taken by storm, aud rising slowly from his re cumbent position, with an expression of surprise, and muttering something about the " kick of a jackass." took his place among the prisoners, with a manner of the most vcrlcct submission, and soon becumn one cf the most ogreeablo aud jolly of the party. Hamilton ou Coercion. The opinions of the early statesmen jr now sought and read with eargernesa, par ticularly wnere iney toucn upon the rela tions of the States with the Federal Gov ernment. Alexander Hamilton is said to have made the following argument in a public speech in the Convention of New l rk for the adoption of the Federal Con stitution : "It has been well observed, that to cieree the States is one of tho madest projects that was ever devised. A failure of compliance will never be confined to a single State xuis uoiug iuu case, can we suppose it wise to hazard a civil war 1 Suppose Massachu setts or any large State, should refuse, and congress should attempt to compel them, would not they have influence to procure assistance, especially from those States which are in the same situation as them selves? What picture does this present to your view? A compljing State at war with a non-complying btate; Congress marches tbe troops of one State into the bosom of another; this State collecting auxilaries, nnd forming perhaps a majority against its federal head. Here is a nation at war with itself! Can any reasonable man be well disposed towards a Govern ment which makes war and carnage the only means of supporting itself; a Govern ment that can exist only by the sword ? Every such war must involve the innocent with the guilty. This single consideration should be sufficient to dispose every peace able citizen against the Government. In the first formation of a Government, hv the association of individuals, every power of tue community is aoiegated, because the Government is to exteud to every object ; nothing is reserved but the inalienable right of mankind. But when a number of tbeso societies unite for certain purposes, the rule is different; and for the plainest reason, that tbey have already delegated their sovereignty and their powers to their several governments, and these cannot be recalled and given to another without an express act." tST At Annapolis Junction, a few davs ago, there was a practical illustration of ireedom r. Slavery. A very dilapidated darkey, whose garments were of all imag inable hues and a perfect labyrinth of rags, had come into camp to sell a few eggs ; while he was there another ebony-hued individual came in, vastly important in his demeanor, attired in clean checked ehirt, blue jacket and jean pants, with cowhide shoes and felt hat, aud ia every respect a perfect Turveydrop in deportment. " Stan' back, you free nigger," said the last comer, " de gemman don't want nuffin out of dat baskit ; why don't you poor fre9 niggers work and do suffin (aside) lazy ucuons ami won aar salt.'

The nobleman was a bit of a wsg, and tbe ruling passion, strong in death, induced him to make the communication the capi tal for a last joke. He, therefore, placed it in another envelope, which be directed to prominent personage who prided himself upon his high moral and religious reputa tion, and who was equally astonished and indignant at the receipt.

Many a mer ry anecdote has the Squire furnished the hungry itcrr-izcrs when local matters were scarce, and, consequently, there are few readers but are indebted to tbe jocund Magistrate for a hearty laugh.
