Jackson tbo prestige that enabled bim to win the field on tbo 8tb of January. In letter to tbo N. V. Daily "Tintea, the .following choice piece of history la given, which to moit of our readert will be new at it l interesting J -w ' '' . "It waa after the burning of the Capitol !tbat Oeo. Packatiliara bad planned tbe ! pedilion against New-Orleans. Admiral (-hran had withdrawn hi fleet from tbe jDheaapoake and . proceeded to Jamaica. lu vxpcutliou was tar ilea on witu ye greatest aecreey. A large fleet of veneris of war, with troop, wr-re ordered to be fit ted out from England lo juin Admiral Coeb Mri, Jamaica being the renJesve-u friwi ul.i.-li the exnedilion waa to tail. 1" ilia monih of Scptomber,' 18U, a part of this fleet tailed from England, consulting of the rrigttte Rota, ttietoveniyioiir gun imp riantagenet, nd the brig of war Carnation. On the afternoon of the 2(lih Sept., ISM, I hit squadron touched at the mouth of the harbor of Pnyal, in the Wetern or Azore 'Islands, The pilot having informed Com mander IJoid, of the squadron, that there -waa email American brigauline of war up il.a Imrlmr it wu irmnrdiutcl v determined to capture the vend, a bur light draught of water would render her of the greatest tervice in acting aa a tender'm entering the shallow water of the Mississippi and the Lakes. The American vowel was accord ingly attacked that night, at eight o'clock, bv lour bonU. but they were driven off with great lots. Enraged and mortified at the defeat of the enterprise, fourteen boob or. launches, wit!) between 300 end 400 men were despatched to lake tbe Yankee craft at all hazards. A desperate conflict ensued, and the boata were agam driven off with im mense alaugbt'er but two boats reluming out of the fourteen! At daybreak the ong of warCaroaliorattacked the Yankee brig, ntine. and opened a heavy fire on her; but the British brigV foretopmast toon went bv the board, and the became to much cut up in her rigging, and with the lost of men, that the hauled olf, when tho Americana, Ondinff further resistance useless, aban doned their vestal, and look position in a fort on tliore. The result was that the British squadron bad become so disabled by the loss of men, and tbo injury to their vessels, that they bad to return to Kngland to refit. This delayed the expedition against New-Orleans, and this fight or the "Saucy Genoral Ariuslroucr," tbe Yankee brigan- tine in question, saved New Orleans and the Southwest. For it ialnconte tihlo that if the British fleet had proceeded to Jamai ca, and not have stopped at Kay si, Adini ml Cochriin and I'uckuiihmu would hnvo arrived al Novv Orlcuns early in November, or at least some six weeks earlier than they did; and it wns owing to the bat loofritv al that they did not anive on the const of Louisiana until lute in December; ami as it was, (Jen. J del son had then birely time to reach INuM -Oili-uns nml make a (Hence .If the British fleet hud not been delayed, iiolliing could have hindered the llriiith troops from taking possession of Louisiana, and marching up through the western States. "After tin war,Qoneral Jackson was told of this singular coincidence, by which the btroic bravery of Cnpt. Keid, whocommand ed the Armstrong, had contributed to much to the success of the bailies of Deo. S3 and Jan. 8. Meeting with Capt. Rrid after wards, General Jackson tuid to him ; 'Sir, you have won more glory than any of us during the war, and well do you deserve it for little did you think, when you were thrashing the Llritish with your little ship, that you were keeping them back until I could arrive at Nuw Orleant to thrash them over again."' . ' , Tbe low of the British in this aflair was 120 killed and 130 wounded that of the -Americans only 3 killed and 7 wounded. A Law Suit at ths Wkst. An old acquaintance of ours, now a resident of Minnesota, writes us as follows, amongsi other things, relative lo the manner in . which suits are tried before justices of the peace in Minnesota Valley : They have tomo rich justico trials In the Minnesota Valloy. I will give you a spec imen of one. Not far below Traverse des 8ioux a trial came oil' before a Dutch jus tice the parties were a German as plain tiff, and a Mohawk Dutchman, uumed Letcher, at defendant. An Irish school master was attorney-fur defendant, and an English butcher attorney for the plaimiH, neither of the attorneys was a lawyer, nor could tho juttio either read or write English. Tbe controversy was about some hay aad boards defendant had of plaintiff. When a witness waa brought on the ' aland, tbe justice swore bim on the statutes of Minnesota. The butcher objected to bit boing sworn on the statutes the magis trate insisted that il waa ths law, and he ought to be sworn by the law ; the butcher Insisted that the Bible wm the only proper book upon which a witness should be worn, but tbe justice wi Inexorable. The juslioe then asked tbe witness "Will you swear dai Letcher hav' da hayt" 1 he butcher then insisted that the witness should be tworn generally and in the prop er manner but tho justice gave no heed to the objection, and while the witness w beiug sworn on tbe tUtulo, said: "I pe lieve Letcher bav de hay, and yon thwear Ietcher bav' de bay you shwar py die law, not py die l'ible; dai ih de No-Not-ting pool it ish not tie laws of Minnesota. Letcher shwear lie bav' de two poards ami py tiott, if he hav' de two poard', I . peliete he hav' de nine; do rr fore, I give shadgmenl for one ton and de half ov bay and du nine poard.." At this tUge of the proceedings defend- ' a ill's cooiuel moved fjr an in'joarninent which the justic considering in ordrat all ." times, graniej f r one week. But the dt HOHtmtHt was the richest of all. The poo- ' plo at once proceeded to the house of the butcher, which stood in au aJjoiuinj conn- ly, lor it down, moved it iuto tbe county I . . i . . i - . CF ,1 ,1.. t Au it where me irwi oam on, s me elected the butcher, prosecuting attorney for that county. Such legal Ulent and le. gal bonetly at the butcher displayed, in dictating law to a justice already proa to his tide, could not go unrewarded by the people rf Minnesota valley. v-- Thii it a rareoccu'rrenco, and might hap pen in any new country, peopled in part by foreigners.-Tfr'MfX Y.)

Formerly the slave vessel took out weapont lo over awt the blacki at well a to fight of! intru ders; thoy were also wont to carry ahacklea enough to tecure at many tlavca at they could carry. ' Nov they depend upon their speed to elude cruisers, and Instead of bind ing thier living cargo, they aimply carry a keg of two of sharp carpet tacks; and, if the slaves become restive, a bandfull or two ofthcte sprinkled among them soon re duce them to submission. The slaves being naked and closely packed, can not , make any movement against thier captort with out being tubjocted to tbe most excruciating pain. . ,.- . .. Otiam or Lur Yt. When Julius Cesar, ili.i old I!omu filibitster. of whom too bsve hesrd, uoilortuok lo rrfurm the compulation of time be ordaiutd that the year should cousin oi 3C6 days ths aildiiionuldsy to be reckoned by twiea poontini tho 2"th day of February which was the 6th caleud of March. Hence the name, . . i t .. : i- i.LMt ..j hu.:i:.n,iii from mo uuuu wuriw, utm mu Tho calends (whence our calender) or fi.-tt day of the muiilh wcra reckoned bacKwaros io uie ion, thin t ths first day of March was the first called ; tlia.SSth of Psb'y was the Sdealend of March, Feb'y 37th Uis third, aud so on. The Julian year, which by this rule waa reck oned at 385 days snd 6 hours, wss found not to be accurate, but lo esceed the length of tho solar year II minutes, which error would, in 131 years, amount to an entire day. It was, therefor, cor rected by Popa Gregory, in 1582, who retrenched lit days from the Julian computation being an access or a (tin over the solar time. Out of this correction has grown the distinction between old and new style. The Gregorian or new style was introduced into Germany in 1770, and by an act of Parliament iuto Kngland, 1752, just 103 years ago, the 2d day of September (0. 8 ) of that year being reckoned as the 14lh (N. 80 under Uie Grevurian natem. Although, the Iiisseitil is re. tuiiied with ill obsolete import, ws Intercalate the 20i h of February every fourth year for Leap Year, and for still greater accuracy, make only ous Lesp Year out of every rour. J lie years iiuu ana ISflO were not Leap Yean; nor will 1300 be reck oned as ons ; but ths yeur 2,000 will be Biasaxlile. Aod that is tho wsy Leap Year becomes an "in slitulioD." IVoaAin Ion Star. Ivoav. Few of our lady readers, whits ibiy peep so be witehinjly over the tips of their ivory fans, or ply thair Hirers so nimbly and gracefully over the white keys of the piano, ire wont tocatt a thought towards the maimer iu which this ma terial is prucuied, or the uumber of noble animals which ara yearly slain for III purpose of supplying tin constantly increasing demand. Mr. Pallon, a celebrated Sheffield manufacturer, estimate! that the aunual consumption of ivory in the town of ShrflieM ulmio is about 1E0 tons, equu! in value to X'3n,0U(l, mid requiring the luborsnf jCO persons lo woik it up furUade. The number of tusks lo nuke up this amount of ivory is 4j,0C0; and ac cording to this the number of cljhanta tluiighter cd every year for the supply of the Sheffield mar ket, Is $1,500. But supposing soma tusks to bi east, snd some animal to bate died a natural death, it mny fairly be estimated that 18,000 are killed for the purpose. An exchange paper, the editor of which no doubt lately "set up" with a widow, go off thus: ' ''For the other half of a courting match there ia nothing like au interesting widow. Tbeie ii as much difference between courting a damsel and an attractive widow, ss there is between ciphering In addition and double rule of three. Courting a girl is Ilk anting fruit, all very niu ns far ai it eateuds, but doing the amiable to a blue-eyed bereaved one in black crape, comes under the head of preserves rich, pungent, sirupy. For delicious courting, wa repeat, giva us a live 'wldder.' " ' , ' Gouoh's Descair-rio or Cold W'atsr. 'Look at that liquid which liasbceu produced from Ilia distillery of nature," (holding up a glass of wa ter.) "The F.tcrnal Father of us all has brewed it for his children. It has been produced, uot in filthy distilleries, but iu beautiful, fragrant place. It has been brewed duwu in yon grascy dell, where III deer linger and tbe rippling rills sing their wild lullaby ! or nwsy upon III mouutain tops, where the bluing suu has lighted it up with the heavenly Are or afar olf upon the ocean, where showers and storms are born.
