As the British and Indians, in their operations, had violated pledges and the usage of civilized warfare by wantonlv ii murdering tneir prisoners, the members <] ofCroghan's little band, (only i 00 strong p with n single six-pounder, and surround- c ed by about COO B i'ish troops, and thrice ,S that number of Indiana.) had mutually n ngreed to stand their ground to the last ti and sell their lives as dearly as possi- [ ble. p When all was reidy, the TMtish com- ti mander sent a messenger, under a tlsig of h truce, to treit fo * ft surrender of tlie Fo t. o Croglian, pointing to liim as lie approach- f< edTexclaimodt? il "It will not do to lot liim enter liere h and see our weakness ; who will volun- sr tecr to meet liim'?" m As it w is pretty certain that whoever q sho-ld leave the Fort on such n mi-sion p would be murdered by the dastard foe, f.| there was a brief pause, when Ensign h Shipp replied : el "I will up:in one condition." o "What is it ?" nsked CYoghan. ci "Pledge me vour word as nn officer and 11 i .i...4 :ii i ?t--? ism* wi inmu', nine yt/u win aet*f) turn n gun heading di'ectly upon me, and that . >! you will fire it off the moment you see me tl raise my hund." tl The. pi* dge was given, and Shipp went s( forth. ll To all the arguments and persuasions < < of the enemy, MS unwavering reply wis : p "I am instructed to say that we defend si that Fort." e ffr?r?n t.Vin f n rll-inc Knr/m fA I , - - ? ."-ft I< him. One clutched his epaulette, anoth- v cr his swoid. Shipp, who was a man of r Herculean frame, reletsed himself by a ( powerful effort, and '.u.-ning to the enemy g coollv said : tl "Sir, ! have not put myself under the S1 pro'oction of your truce without knowing f< your mode of warfare. You sec that a g"U, pointing to the solitary si* pound- u ?r, it i * well charged with grape, and I g have the solemn pledge of my commander that it shall be fired at me the instant that I give him the signal. Therefore re- ? strain these men and respect the law of o war, or you shall instantly accompany me rr to the other v orld." n This wis enough. Shipp was ro mor u mole * ted ; ne returned to his comrades in o nfety, and fought out the desperate ac- t( t'n th it envied and obtained promotion | f ?r his bravery. Ii The ciroum stance reforpd to at the head of this article, w ?s told ?w follow* : After the British find Indians had withdrawn, Croghun missed one man (only one) who had belonged to hi* little band, te and all efforts for bis discovery, were for fc some time unsuccessful. At length his remnmft were discovered in the garret of tli one of the block-house#, where he had cront fo- ^ifetv and was cut into bv a ? irinon ball. All tli? rost considering their eh juices tli life no<^j||ih ? thought, hml only ' duty, and escaped n? Mve, 'froiijpjlj^rw the rnwt desperate nu \ . * ^Iit on record.

'he followinc f ;ct occurred yesterday. i beautiful nnd high spirited borne would over nllow a shoe to bo put on his feet, r any person to handle his feet, without resort to every species of power nnd leans to control him. At one time he ras nearly crippled by being put in the locks; he wi s afterwards thrown down nd fettered; at another time o .c of our lost experienced horse shoers was unn>le to nunnge him hy the aid >f as many lands rscould approach. In an attempt o shoe this horse yesterday, he resisted 11 efforts, lucked aside everything but nn m il and came near killing himself against hat, nnd finnlly wis brought b?ck to his table unshod. Tliis was his only defect, nail other respects he is gentle nnd per ecti docile, especially i>. na-ness. mil his defect was just on the eve of consigner him to the plough, where he might vork haref' ot, when, by mere accident, in office in nur service, lately returned om Mexico, was passing, f-nd being nade acquainted with the difficulty, ap>lied a complete remedy by the following imply process: Me took a cord about the size of a com non bed cord, put it in the mouth of the ?orse like a bit, and tied it tightlv on the op of the animal's head, passing his left arunde-the strimr. not nainfullv tiirhr. n t tight enough to keep the ear down, ud tlie cold in its place. This done, he >atted the horse gently on the side of the lead, and co ?imanded him to follow, and nstantlv the horse obeyed, pe1 fectly suh!ned and as gentle and obedient as a well mined dog; suffering hi* feet to be lifted nth entire impunity, and acting in iill repects like an old stager. That simple tring, thus tied, made him at once as doile and obedient as any one could desire, 'lie gentleman who thus furnished this xcecdingly simple menus of subduing a eiy dange'-ons propensity, intimates that t is practiced in /1/exico nnd South Amer;n, in the management of wild horses. ?e this as it may, he deserves the thanks f all owners of such horses, and esprcillv the thanks of tliose whose business it nay be to shoe or groom the animals. Com. Advertiser. SWEET POTATOES. As this is the digging time of potatoes, may not he ami<s to give some simple r?*ciions inr meir preservation. Many eople lose their potatoes bv being over nrcful in housing mid builiing them up. lome go to the expense of building n per innent house for them, and after all their rouble, frequently lose their potatoes, have seen :i great variety of methods ractisft" , and have practised a great vaiety myself, and 1 have never seen, or eard of any pl in, which tor safetv. conmy and simplicity, compares with the blowing. Mv expedience te iohe- me int sweet potatoes dug before I he frost i* hjtten the vinos, keep I lie best. I am i?i<ti>'d thnt the frost bitten vines have loreorless influence on the tuber, freucntlv injures the flavor, as well as as ro(Hspo: ing the root to decay. Whenev r the potatoes are (lug, which makes utli'tle difference whether it be inelenr, loudv or rainv weather, as the hills are hlijred to go through a sweat under any ircumstances, dig a circular trench as irge is the hill you wish to nvik'*. And ere I would suggest tlv<r sm *11 hill-; of hout thirty or forty bushels, arc much le safest. Elevate the ground inside ic circle about six inches, and pile on Mind potatoes as long as they will lav on: ion lay on pine hark next to the polutoe, Dveting up the cntito hill. Now over the ine c irk, pi ice a good covering of pine Lraw, and then cover the whole with ... 1 . ? .it,. inn, mi ibum mx inenes mu'K, leaving an irhole at the lop which m iv hp covercd . ith n hnlf circle ill pinebnk, to keep the lin from washing down the airhole .'are must, tic taken that water d cm not et in at tlic ton for that will jpopardize lie whole hill. Two or three pi.inks loned over the. will probably be tin- savt, but with a little care, the piie bark nswers every purpose.

PRINTERS AND PRINTING. J.T. Buckingham, c-q. in his penes o! reminiscenes, in oouitc of puhlicnlion ir the Boston Courier, speaks of the importance ol the printer to the author, ns fol lows: 'Many who condescend to illuminat< the dark world with the fire of their gei nius, through the columns of a newspa' per, li:tie think of the lot of the ptinter who, almost suffocated hv the smoke ol a lump, sits up till midnight to correct hi: false grammar, had orthography and worse } unctuation. 1 have seen the ar gument-? of lawyers in high repute as scho ! ars, sent to the pi inter in their own hand wiiting, many words?especially technical and forei ,n term?abbreviated wo-ds mispclled, and few or no points mid those few, if there were any, entirely out of pi ice. I have seen the sermon: of eminent 'divines' sent to the press, without points or capitals to designate the division of the sentences; sermons which, if published with the. imperfections of the manuscript, would disgrace tin printer's devil if he were the nuthor Suppose thev had l;e- n so printed. The piinter would have been treatea with scorn ana coiuempt us an illiterate niocKhead?as a fellow better fitted to be f wood sawyer than a printer. Nobody would have believed that such gioss and ! palpable fault * were owing to the ignoi ranee or carelessnes of the author. And no one but the practical printer knows how many hours a compositor, and aftei him a pi oof-reader, is compelled to spend in reducing to a readable condition manuscripts that th?- w"iters tbfimselve would i i i i UV puw.nu I\J ri'ilU.
