H >w the Frigate President was Captured.
Tho following article, which wo cut
from tho Louisville Journal, brings to
mind an interesting incident of the Amcri-j
can Navv, and one which will bo read with
pleasure by all who admire the gallantry
which characterized tho early days of the
" right arm " of our national defence :
In many of the newspaper articles which

tity of Hear Admiral James Ilopc, recently |
repulsed at Peiho, it lias been stated how
the British frigate Kiidytnion, under the |
command of Capt. Henry Hope, capturcil
the United States frigate President, Capt. j
Stephen Pecatur. Of course all familiar
with tho naval history of the war of 1812 :
?To, are aware that this is not the fact. I
The President left the port of New York |
when it wis blockaded by a largo British i
fleet, Deontur intending to run (he gauntlet
and trust on the fine sailing qualities of j
his ship. Unfortunately, she struck on
Sandy Hook bar, seriously damaging her
keel and bottom, and imp-tiring those sailing
qualities. The day after this accident,
the whole British fleet gave chase. The
lOndymion, being the fleetest, was the first
to cet alonjisit'-* of her. and the followim*
extract from Decatur's official report to the
Secretary of the Navy, set the matter in
its true light.
Our opponent kept off at the same in- j
stant we aid, and commenced at the same :
time. Wo continued engaged, steering j
south with sails set two hours and a half, i
when we completely succeeded in diamant- j
ling her. Previously to her dropping en- \
tirelv out of tlic action there were intervals j
of minutes when the ships were broadside |
and broadside, in which she did not fire a '
gun. At this period, (8J o'clock), although !
dark, the other ships of the sojuadron were {
in sight, and almost within gunshot. We
were, of course, compelled to abandon her. i
In resuming oar former course, for the pur- j
poso of avoiding the squadron, wo were i
compelled to present our stern to our antagonist;
but such was his state, though!
we were thus exposed and within range of J
his guns for half an hour that he did not |
avail iiimseit ot tins favorable opportunity I
of raid?g us.
Wo continued this coursc until 1 I o'clock, {
when two fresh ships of the enemy, (the |
I'omon.i ami Tenedos) had come up. The j
Pomona opened her fire on the larboard !
bow, within musket shot; the other about !
two cables leug h astern, taking a raking ;
position on our quarter, and the rest, with j
the exception of the Kudymion, within ]
gunshot. Thus situated, with about one j
fifth of in}- crew killed and wounded, my |
ship crippled, and more than four-fold force
opposed to ine, without a chance of cscnpe

Thus it will bo scon that the Endymion
did not capture the President, hut that the '
Kndymion was dismantled and her puns
completely silenced by those of the Prosi- !
dent. It was the design of Decatur to ,
take the Endymion and try to escape with i
Yioth vessels, but the crippled condition of j
his prize prevented it, so he was compelled
to leave her, and start southward to escape.
This? ho Woo 1 I h ive eflW'tod, had not his !
keel been injured on the bar. lie fought i
with cnerpry until it became necessary to '
surrender to a four-fold force, lie. delivered
up his sword to the captain of the
ltay.ee Majestic, which vessel was in company
with the frigates Tenedos and Pomana.
The action of the Endymion was one
of the most gallant of the whole war. Her
guns wore of heavier calibre t.i>an those
of the President, ami this disadvantage induced
the resolution of Decatur to board
her. He said to his men: " My lads,
that ship id coming up with us. As our
ship won't sail, we'll go on board of their's, !
every man and boy of us, and carry her in j
triumph into New York. All I ask of you j
is to follow me. This is a favorite ship of j
the country. If we allow her to be taken,

for nothing. 'T would break the heart of j
every pretty girl in Not? York." This ap- ;
peal was received with cheers, which warned
the l-'iidymion of the design, so he steered
off, hilt was crppled afterwards at long
range, despite the advantage in the size of
her cannon.

Love Abduction Imprisonment?Marriage.
It will be in the recollection of most of
our readers that on a fiuc morning, in the
summer of the quiet town of Appleby
was startled with unusual activity, by
an announcement that u young girl, resident
in a boarding school ir the town, had
disappeared during the night, in company,
as was suspected, and as turned out to be
the fact, with her music teacher. The
young lady's age at the time was, we believe,
1 -l or II, while that of the gentleman
(who then held the situation of organist
of the parish church) might bo about
21. Pursuit was forthwith given, and the
electric telegraph put in motion, but the
parties arrived at (Iretna, where marriages
could then be celebrated libitum, without
regard to age or any other of the legal
requisites attached to the English ceremony,
and the (iordian knot was tied, ere a
veto could be put upon the rash proceedings.
No doubt the happy pair now thought
the worst past?a too common delusion?
and that explanations and reconciliation
would follow as a matter of course, and
their future felicity be secured. Hut alas '.
their hopes were soon dissipated. At the
'arii.slo station, n?i *!?*???* return, the iron
lmiul of tin* Superintendent of Police was
laid upon the arm of the happy bridegroom,
and lio was consigned to durance vile 011 a
charge of abduction, while the young lady,
his wife, was straightway hurried to her
paternal home on the banks of l/.tkc Windermere.
On a subsequent day, the wrath
of the lady's parents and of the schoolmistress
who initiated the legal proceedings
being unappeasable, the captive lover was
fully committed for trial l v the Carlisle
magistrates, and at the vVcstmorcland assizes,
held at Appleby ii the month of August
following?the mot.ier of the young
lady appearing as a witness against him?
he was found guilty and sentenced to nine
months' imprisonment as a first class misdemeanant.
A question was discussed bv
the public :tt the time whether the marriage
which had been celebrated between
the parties was binding upon tliein, but by
the legal world, including the Judge who
tried the case, we believe no doubt of its
validity according to the ..iwsof Scotland,
binding in Fmgland, v.as entertained ; and
that notwithstanding the conviction for abduction,
the gentleman on the termination
of his imprisonmaut would have a legal
right to claim the possession of his youthful
wife. J$e this, however, as it may, we
commit the question to the hands of the
curious in such matters, while we nrocned
' r
with our remarkable narrative.
The young lady, as we have stated above,
on being ruthlessly torn from him she had
taken for better or for worse, was consigned
to the care of her parents, and here for a
while we leave her. The term of her husband's
imprisonment having expired, he
resumed his profession as a tcachcr of music,
and although at the same time numerous
were his enquiries after, and great bis
search for the whereabouts of his wife, for
years no traces of her could bo obtained.
Atone time .she has been .removed to Amerca,
another to Australia, a third account
convoyed to him in ;tn anonymous letter
about twelve months ago, was that the
hand of death had fallen upon her. At
last, however, the tide begins to ebb, the
dark clouds which so long o'er-shadowed
the case are suddenly dispelled, and light
dawns. A letter unexpectedly arrives, announcing
to the gentleman the agreeable
tidings that his presence in the Isle of
.J ersey, where his wife was residing, would
be agreeable to all parties; and as we are
not writing an imaginary romance, but a
novel adventure in real life, and have no
desire to lill up (lie interim with suppositions
of our own invention, "wo bring our
tale to an cml by simply stating what will
be gratifying to all trnc lovers to learn, that
the hoppy pair wore re-united in the bonds
of "holy wodlo k," on the 12th inst., as
appears more at lar^e in our list of marriages
this day, and are now spending the
honeymoon amongst the beautiful lakes
ami mountain scenery of Westinorelan
where and evermore, we wish thent everlasting
felicity.

In 1 So 1 an insurrection brolco out in
the county of S'outhainptou, on the southern
borders of Virginia, an account of
which will be found in another portion of
this paper. It occasioned greater loss of
life among the whites, and greater consternation
than anyothcr insurrectionary movement
among the negroes ever made in this
country.
About another extensive plot was
discovered, with which tlie notorious desperado
and miscreant, Murrcll, was cloaoly
associated, and thesupposcc lender. A few
men in nearly all the Southern States were
believed to be connected with this conspiracy
; but as they were nearly nil villians
of the. deepest dye, their principal object
was probably pillago, in tlio midst of the
confusion and consternation they expected
to create.
In ll<;">7 great alarm w;is occasioned in
various portions of the South (Tennessee
and Kentucky) by rumow of another servile
insurrection. Many negroes were arrested
and severely punUlicd, and several
white men were shot for their alleged participation
in the movement, but no very serious
harm was done to the whites.

Hiring nn Overseer.
In a neighboring State lives one Col. S.
i who is tamed far and wido for his irascibility
j of temper, and eccentricities of character,
and these peculiarities arc the cause of many
a prank being played off at the Colonel's expense,
and much to his ntuioyanco. A groat
i vmj$ wimi kim\y uiu v^uiunoi wcii, was ruling
; along a few years ago, a few miles from tho
| plantation of S , when ho met a rather
i vrnlanl specimen of humanity, who cheeked
his hors>\ as they came near togother, with
the following query:
' Stranger, yer don't know of any body as
wants to hire an overseer, do yer?"
" Are you looking for a situation of that
sort?" queried the wag.
" Yes sir?I am just about as anxious for
a berth as you ever saw a feller.
Our wag continued to interrogate the candidate
for an overscerahip, and elicited from
him that he had been in the bnsinoss about
five years, nn<l while acting in that capacity,
I had made prodigious "craps " and performed
1 wonders as the tiller of soil.
i i. >u.. || llll |,l
?? vii, cent* VIIU >T11^, 111 IUH(! you Oil

rninuto directions as to the road leading to
| tin! residence of Col. S . and added,
I have a crazy brother living with me?
j you will find liim there, but <lo not fear him,
I he is perfectly harmless, lie has a fancy
i that tho plantation belongs to hitnv nnd
I strongly insists that it is so; but pay no atj
tention to him, or anything he says. You
will find a large tin horn hanging op in the
piazza, take it and blow for the negroes to
i come up. when you can see my force, learn
i their names, and make them put your
| horse up, anil tell the cook to ?ct you a good
: dinner. I will be back before night, and we
| can tnlx further about the matter."
! On went the overseer, and soon ho rode
| up before the CoI.'h residence, dismounting
; he walked in. After walking up to the waj
tor pail and drinking, he took down the aforej
said horn and blew a blast loud and Ions?.
I which reverberated far and wido, over hill
and valley. The Colonel who was taking; his
; morning snooze, was groused by the sound,
I and caiue blundering'out in hasto, minus
I clothing, save a shirt and pair of socks, and
nfter gazing upon tho lriovr comer a few mo*
' mnnt<? in astonishment," eunuircd,
! "Who are you, sir; Jwjmt the deaco do
; you mean?what aro you blowing that horn
I fur, sir?what ?"
' 01\ go away old man," carelessly replied
the overseer; "your brother sent me
| iiere to take charge of this place, aud as
i you are a lectio crazy, you musn't bother
me."
"Brother! crazy! what do yon mean sir?
?get out sir?leave 1" storuied tlie now exasperated
Colonel.
' Your brother told mo to lock you up in
the smoke-house, if you got into one of your
mad tits, and I will do it if y<iu don't keep
<|tiiet," replied the overseer. Yet still the
Colonel raged, and tore around like a real
madman : arid finally the new corner, fearing
he would become dangti'nus; seized a bunch
of keys hanging near, find then gathered the
i vuii'imi in ins powertui grasp, ami t>?re lnm
! across the yard, and finding the proper key.
! swung open the door of die sm >ke-hmisc?
shoved !iin in and turned tlie key, remarking
that "lie should stay until his brother
eomebae.k." In a few momenta, the negroes
being summoned from their labor by the
sound of the horn came up en masse to see
what was to pay. The oversoer protein made
them file before him, telling them at the
same time that he was employed as oversoer
?enquiring their names, ages, etc., enquiring
the way to the field?where they woro
then at work, and dismised the wandering
darkeys to go to dinner. TliO cook nstonished.
and awed by the perfect sang froid of
the new coiner, had accordingly prepared a
sumptuous repast to which our hungry hero,
sat down to, and began to cat voraciously.?
But the Colonel was not content to remain
" in durance vile," and nftcr working manfully,
he had got an opening in the floor large
enough to permit his escapo. and going round
to an enclosure, he unloosed five or six large

who hud not yet finished his repast.?
Seeing tho javago looks of both Colonel
and do;;*, lie heat a retreat through tho house
?out of tho front gate, ,l,Ml began to mako
himself scarce, closely p irsued hy the Colonel
whoso nothor garment was seen llottoring
in the breeze, afar down the road, as ho
hissed on the pack, and cursed tho impudence
of tho stranger.
After a race of eovoral miles, the Colonel
gave up tho chase, and came panting back,
covered with mud and dust, aud swearing I lie
feller must be crazy.
Late at night a pedestrian came into a
town, about twenty miles off? tatiuiod and
torn?foot-weary and sore, whoso only enquiry
was the brother of tlio crazy man who
lived up in the prairies, yet no 0110 know
1 aught of tho said brother, or could tell oi
his whereabout*. The Colonel assorts that
ho inado a horse by tho crazy man coming
| there, as the steed was never called for. and
tlio ovoraeor probably hunted up another location.

Davy Crockett.
Wo Jo not recollect of having ever soon in
print tho following characteristic anecdote of
; that renowned " American backwoodsman "
I (us ho is denominated in the "Now Cvcloj
podia") Dayy Crockott. It is literally true,
nevertheless. Tho incident was witnessed
by the writer.
'Crockett was on an electioneering tour.
It was about that time in tho summer when
the farmers had *'laid by" their crop*. Duo
notice had been given that Crocket was to
Apeak at Lawrenoobtirg. a small villago in
Lawrence County, TcnncHsoe. At the time
j appointed there was a goodly number of
] country poople present. Our hero was on
I hand early, and according to his custom, he,
j for on hour or so before taking tho stand.
] amused tho ''boys" by " telling yarns," etc.
In tho crowd of men who were thus enjoying
Davy's eccentricities there was a goodnatured,
though rather verdant, country chap,
about twenty-one. lie was clad in tho plainest
" homespun"?copperas pants and coarse
cotton shirt. In striking contrast with this
unpretending costume, lie wore a bran-new
fur hat: and tho poouliar manner in which ho i
bore, himself under this covering showed that j
he was rot only proud of it, but that it was j
tho first article of the kind that ho was over i
master of."
| " Crockett, fit the conclusion of a hearty
j laugh over one ?>f his stories, took occasion
I to compliment the now fur hut of our fricml.''
" And now, .Tim," said Davy (ho had
heard the chap addressed by that familiar
j name,) " what would you tiuiik if I vvoro to
i say that I could take that hat, cut it into
I two pieces and then put it together so that it
| would bo as perfect as over V
| "0!i! you couldn't do any thing of the
i kind." replied the countryman.
' I'll hot you a quart of whiskey of it," says !
1 Crockett.
I " Done," says the proprietor of the fur lint.
' Hereupon Davy took the hat, and with
j his pocket-knife cut directly through the
I brim and crown, dividing it in twain. Then
I taking a half of the hat in each hand, ho exI
posed the divided chapeau to tho spectators,
] m order that there should bo no mistake about
, the matter. " You see. gentlemen," said he.
j "that there is no cheating. You see that the
i hat is cut clear open."
"Yes," they all responded.
"The crowd looked 011 with intense anxiety
to see how this thing was to end : most of
them however, knowing, from Crockett's
character, that he would come out victorious
and give them a good laugh. Onr green
country friend. meanwhile, wanalready laughingat
(ho prospect of winning hia wagor.
"Crockett then commenced blowing his
breath upon th >se parts of the divided hat
which he proposed to reunite, and at tho
same timo uttering some mysterious words,
and attempting some peculiar manipulations,
which he oontomlod, wore to accomplish the
magical work. All at once lie ceased his
efforts, and, looking round upon tho crowd,
I said, in a vory serious tone, " (Jentlemen,
| upon my word I have forgotten how. Jim
I has won the whiskey."
! "Every hody instantly saw the point of]
