MAJOR ANDREW CAPTURE. , 'A Mr. Brnwore the sculptat, gives the Callow* Ing a?thc substance of a narrative given to ItlmbyCoL. Isaac Van Wart, the only s*rviv-* uxg captor of Malor Amjre, of tho circmistaft-, ces attending that event. Col: Isaac Van Wartliv sat WestChester, and commence* hk narrative ?i follows*? ? I am the third son of Martinva Van Watt t ho had nine children. I was boen at Oreeto burgh, West Chester county, but f on what day, but was christened < Oct 174a. When adlvlskm oft' army was at North Castle, Cq|. Jamison* 1 went on a w consisting of two besides myself; in < . . waylay uc cow boys, or refugees, who wo had notice, passed the North riverpost daily, with cattlc, horses, sheep, fcc. While at tho encampment at North Castle, John .Paulding came, one afternoon, to me, saying, "Isaac noon, with our English rifles on our shoulders, and proceeded southward. After walking a ni'de or so, we fell in with David William?, ? and persuaded him to accompany us on our cxped.- .on. At night, we came to neighbour John Andrews' oarn at Mount Pleasant, and slept on the hay until day-break. We next crossed the fields to the North river posti road, and about half past 7 o'clock we cama to the widow Read's house, got some milk and a pack of playing cards. At 9 we reach* oil the field beside ti e road, now the property* of Mr. Wiley, three quarters of n utile froui Tarry town, (getting over the fence we found it filled with thick bushes, underwood, tco. tic. We cleared a spot, and l'auldin j, taking out the cards, ?aid, " Roys, we will dr^w cuts ?twocan play, while the third stands sentry." The cuts were made, and I was to i.und sen tinel. During 15 or 20 minutes several neigh ItourM, whose political principles I woll knew* passed the field where we were, witliout dis covering us?Paulding and Williams keeping a perfect silence, and I laving down within tho hashes, and close to the fence. Bhortly (say twenty or thirty minutes from the time of our arrival) 1 saw a horseman ride slowly alonj; on a black horse, on the rising ground directly opposite to where the Tarrytown must stop him." We got up with our flre^ locks ready, and waited for Hm to advance. As soon as he (U was Maj. Andre) saw us standing by the fence, he reined his horse, tuid riding str light up to us, said, M (Jvdbleto you, my (tear friend*, 1 ho fie yon belong to '/iir /tarty" We asked "what party?' Without hesitation he smilingly rtplicd: " Why the lower party; lama Brlthhofficer, and lo convince you that I am a gentleman uml aver the truth, ?ee, here it my gold wutch." We told him, he was wrong, for we neither belonged t> his, nor tothelow er party,but were Americans, and that he wan our prisoner. Ho started, changed colowr. Arnold's passport, and said, " I have been in the eouutry on particular butfnett, and hojtc linn tnnn'' //?'"'? ???? ?' " After w? hud read the passport, we order ed him to d wtount and-fq|lo*y us. We then took down the fcnce and led him and his horse, through into the thicket. Williams put up the fence a* at lint, that no suspicion or in quiry should arise from seeing it down. When William* came up, Major Andre reqee?te?l us agnin to release him, and said he would give us any sum of money we might ask, or any quantity of dry goods. You know our an swer. After searching his cloths, we order ed him to sit down, and pulling off his boot we perceived that hia silk stocking sagged a little; we took that off, and found in it three letters that were not sealed. On taking on his other boot and stocking, we found three more unsealed letters, which contained Cor rect descriptions of the poats, redoubts, can non, 8cc c* West Point end other places. After taking possession of these documents, he said, - now you have gotten all, lead on. He put on hi* stockings and boots, and follow ed us to the road. Replacing the fen<w, we allowed him to mount h'.s horse and go in ad vance. You never saw such in alteration in aay man's face. Only a few minutes before* and he was uncommonly gay in his looks, but after we had made him prisoner, you could iread In his face that he thought it was all owr with him. We felt for him, but that wa? all I we could do, so lone as we meant to be honest to our country. We made our way as quick ly and silently as we could to the edeamp ment ai North Castle. We never went into the main rued, Imt kept in the by-ways, and never stopped cxc&pt to give the prisoner n little milk or, so, which we g?H/njmthe coun try people. When we arrived at Sands Mills, which was ten miles from the place vtieni W4 captured him we surrendered the Major up to the commanding oflWer, who was Col Jamison, t wish you to know, ' elling one or two miles, 1 wish to Ood you had when you stooped me." and the whrte of the j* sweat kep* continually he suffered much V mind, i from his great detection. gentleman, candid and once attempted to eteup^
