The grand ex cursion under the auspices of tlie Masonic fraternity, comes off nex week tickets good for one week Irotn Monday next. Mr. Elkins, Agent at the depot ot this city, has flity tickets which he wishes to dispose of to those desiring to go on tlie excursion from this city to Taeoma, W. T. Reception. A very pleasant party met on Friday evening last at the residence of Rev. I. Wilson to pay their respects to that glorious man of God, Bishop Peek, of the M. E. Church. Tho Bishop was not enjoying the best of health, but he received his friends in the kind and genial inn mien for which he is so noted, and the evening passed off pleasantly and profitably to all. Nice ITOMESTEADS. Messrs. W. II. Dodd -ft Co. arc offering for sale a number of four-acre lots adjacent to the city, esjice ially designed for those who desire to se cure land enough upon which they can not only erect a commodious and comfortable dwelling for their familes, with all the nec essary outhouses, and not have them crow ded too elo-ely together, but tor those who may wish to cultivate gardens, raising small ft nits, vegetables, etc., for this mar ket. The ground i3 rich, and gardening will be one of the most successful and pay ing industries of the future, and those who secure lots nov while they can be obtained at a nominal figure, and properly iipprove them, will reap a rich reward probably much earlier than by an investment of a similar amount of coin in any other way. Wanted a FmE. Across the river, in the .Soap creek country, resides a little girl who, a few days since, during the tempo rary absence ot her parents, concluded to experiment and passofTthe time by setting fire to the grass in the field adjoining the house. The experiment came wirhin an ace of being very successful, much more co than the little Miss contemplated, as, had it not been for the early discovery of the fire, Mrs. Becky Col well would have los' her entire hay crop, which was stacked in an adjoining field, and a large amount of fencing and other property would liave Iwen destroyed. When the little one was questioned as to the object in setting lire to the grass, she said she ' wanted a fire."

C Advertisement.! THE ITIXC TRIDITEB t'OniULLED. . He may bo found on Pike's old farm, on the road leading from Corvallis to Yaqui tia Bay. These are the facts: There has been a number of letters writ ten traducing our characters. These let ters all refer to T. II. Bamhatt for future evidence to substantiate their slanderous statements. Barnlmrt took thes letters from the postoffice to Mr. Hinds', where it was designed to injure U3 most. The wri ter of tliese letters shows familarity with Barnhart. They know Barnhart'a, and learned froni them Hind's name; learned from them tliat they had Hind's daughter in thei remploy, and find that they think a great deal ot her,-v-and they direct their most malicious letters to Baruhart lor Iain to give to Hinds. He (Bariihart) receives, opens and reads the letters, and then car ries them to Hinds, knowing they refer to hiinsel! for further cvidene, and by inueu does tries to confirm tlie malicious slanders and lies contained in those letter., yet all the time claiming to be our friend! We get these letters Into our possession, and write to Mr. Barnhart, asking him why, as a friend, he did not let us know of their existence, and why he did not contradict the base falsehoods himself. Citing his conduct in the matter, we frankly told him that the suspicion of the authorship of the letters rested on himself and Kr d, and we demanded the name ot the author. At this Barnlmrt llcw into a pas-i ti and called upon the grave-yard for a witness f his innocence. Larnhart claimed to believe tlie writer of the letters was a woman. We give it as onr honest opinion that that woman V is now coiiiiter-hopper in It. Cheadle's store, fir We do not kgovv any woman except Fred and hrr father that would have written such bawdy stuff. We are perfectly satisfied tlmt BariihaYt him self furnished the material. In at.S'.vcr to our letttr ! Barnhart says: "you would have known before now why I did not de ny it, it Cal. Graves had not died. Bnt as he is dead, I have kept it to myself."' Now, we will inform the uublic that Oil. Graves died, to the best of out recollection, the forepart of August, 1.S72. Barnhart's continued to speak well of us and contin ued to be friends of ours up to , and even alter, the issiuw.ee of these slanderous let ters, the first of which appeared about the middle of November. 1"71. and we do not hesitate to say that we can bring forward more than a dozen of the most respectable citizens ot Iinn comity who will swear that they do not believe Barnhart even should lie make oath that he got any such stutf from C'al. Graves. Cal. Graves had been dead twenty-seven montis frfure thene slanderoitt) fuUliooris tre invented, and he never heard anything of the sort, nor did anyone else during Cal' lifetime. We trace this whole thing into Barnhart's fam ily there we leave it. If Barnhart can give anything decent to the public that w ill justify lii-s conduct in this matter, we sliall be glad to see him do so; but if be or any of his friends comes out with any scur ilons slang, we will have published enough of Baruhaj-t's contradictory letters of May and June last to prove to the pub lic that he is a barefaced liar. We shull always hold the-Baruhai t'.s guilty of writ ing tliese letters and circulating these slan ders, and will hold no intercourse with them whatever, and sd:a!l take no future notice of them, except as above, as we consider them unworthy of the respect or confidence of any civilized, christian community. W e hold possession of l heir letters wnich will convince all except, the guilty ones, and any one desiring cairsee them. JOHN Li. HUIIRKS JAMKS BU1CRES.

At the time of which we write there wa3 an Inlet on Jitckers .Keacu, New Jersev. called Biigantine Inlet. In 1800 this was cioseti up. auu me e.- lormeii another in let, wlncli exists to tins' day. There was no Tuckertown then. It was the Gaunt Farm at that time. The only settlement then was what was known as the Middle- ot-tbe-bhore. " extending on each side of what was called Andrew's Mill Creek, the property originally lielonsriuer to Jneob Andrews, who settled there in the last year of the sixteenth century ami who had a mill. There were not a great many peo ple; out iney um a great onsiness in inn btr and cypress shingles, wi.ich they sent principally to New ork and tint West Indies. Liuring the Revolution the place was a reutiezvous tor American privateers. and these little sen-hornets suiuoyed the British 8hipiiiig so much- fttnXiiii expetli tlou was organ ized, with the "Zebra "and other ships ot war, to break up the "dVn. There were several privateers lying there at the lime; but they were warned by an express from General .Washington, ami escaped before the British i-aiih. . Wash ington sent a force under Pulaski to meet the invaders; but they did not arrive until tho enemy had done sll the mischief. Part ot Pulaski's men reached Osburn's Island, and their picket-guard ws snrpris- ea anil massacred iy me enemy. The In vader did not escape without loss. In get ting out the " Zi bra " grounded, and her own people burned her, to .prevent her capture by the Americans. i Here was one privateer that the enemy managed to take as she was coming in the "Saucy Jack." She was Baltimore built, very fast, and armed with a long eighteen pounder. The admiral made her h tender to the flag-ship, added a coup le ot ten-pound carrouades to herf arma ment, and put a crew ot eighteen men and a miusnipman auoaru, coiuniaiiiieu Dy a masters mate. She beeanie a regular nuisance to the place, sailing in every now and then, exploring the harbor, levying cowi-iouuons oi soit lack, vegetables ami chickens, and then sailing out. The neo- plc would have liked to take her; but while tne sin.-tdron was so near the place the heavy private armed vessels avoided it. There was a Quaker who lived not far from the beach, by the name of Enhraim lappincott. He had the reputation of be ing a Tory ui sympathy, principally be eauso bis son OUed, having engaged in oi.e or two skirmishes with British-foraging parties, had leen disowned and rcpriiiiad ed for violating tlie peace principles of the Friends. When the British parties visited there they were met with a wurin welcome. Bnt Ephraini was .i;o Tory, after all merely a prudent man, who" tried to sail as close to the wind as possible. Obed. though he hail been disowned, was always sure ot quarters at home when he chose to go; and he went there just after the last visit of the commander of the Sea Wasp. " as the "Saucy Jack " had been rechrL-tened -by her captors. " ' The father met him indifferently, but af ter dinner called him out to the ban:. "Obed," he said. I- suitoe tliee's consorting vtfli the " Ridgways" and the Willetts boys and such id:e, disloyal fel lows; as usual." " Weil, father, I go with them occasion ally, as thee knows; but they're very hon est, hard-working young men antl good company." " I wouldn't wonder, if thee knew and they knew that the "Sea Wasp ' is wing back uoxt Wednesday, they'd try to cap ture her. They're w'icfecd enough." " Shoulden't wonder, father." said Obed. seiitentioiislv. "But 1 don't see how thev could do it." ' I've noticed that the master of the ves sel always anchors right by the swamp, where the beach shelves 6ft" suddenly, and within a few yards of shore." "So I perceive." "Now, if there. were bloodthirsty and wicked men, who had brains to keeplheir bad purjtoses. and knew she is coming on Wednesday afternoon, and knew that they are goinsr to Shroud's and round about to for.ieg, and would leave the schooner weak- hauded. they might they are just bad enough they niitrbt leave a couple of stout boats iu among the reeds iu the creek mere me ingtit tx-tore." "They might, father." "They inij'ht go down armed at the same tune, with enough to eat all day, and lie there; and next moruiur, when the nwii came ashore and trot out of sisrht over the sand-hill to Shroud's, they might, if tiiey are as resolute as they are bad, take that vessel." "Ihey might, as theo says; and I have a notion they'll trv." "They may. Obed; but if they do I hope they II use peaceable meant). It Ihey do try. as i tliiiik they will, don't thee go wi:h theru. .

Certainly, father; iust as thee says." -Thens were a dozen young men in the settlement, staunch Whigs some fisher men and all accueomed to the sea who followed Obed's load on ail occasions., He nuiiiuioueu mem quickly to meet jnm mi Wednesday night, secretly, at the beach; and in the meanwhile he secured a couple " oiuut ooats, with oars, ana HIU them away in the nlace indicated. On Wednesday afternoon after nightfall the cutter ratno in and achored. hut no one came ashore. Thev kent cood watch: but me night was very dark and their observa tion could not extend very far.

I his would leave the bratswain, three men, ami a boy on board. Obed kept watch, the others lying close down, and saw the boats land. They all disembarked, leaving the boats in charcm ot two men and not sending them back. They evidently in tended to return in a short while, and no tune was to be lost. So soon as the main party bad disappeared behind tho sand-hills Obed and Willetts, covering the two men who were seated on the bows of the boats, where thev wen drawn on on the .beach. fired. One ofthe men fell dead, and the other mortally wounded. Obed and Wil letts floundered thromrh the marsh to where the men lv. and. without paying any attention to the wounded man. quick ly stove holes in the bottoms of the boats, wnile the rest of the men rowed into Sight. One of their own boats took thes on board and tliey made for the ciitter. But the twnnla mi Mia on Iter were not idle meanwhile. Thev disengaged a car ronade. ran it out of a port-hole, and pre pared to fire. The boats, by previous un derstanding, separated, one circling north and the oilier eoutn, and the 6hot missed both. Before another gun eould be aimed the cutter w.n boarded at bow anil stern. 1 he noise ofthe firing caused the main party to retrace their steps, and they came oiiuR in ;i iiurry to tne lanuing-plaee, where they found their bonts unfit for use not, however, until they had nmlu-rl them off", and tlie water poured in on them. T 1 1 1 ... ;.. .1.,. rt.. ...... . . inru.-, in mc niciiii iiiie, niter me prison ers were secured, rn to the magazine, brought up some grauc and canister, loaded the Long Tom, ami trailed it directly up- v... a .it, ... ij ,a, (lie ....i.l , M.

Five .had been Killed outright and eight severely wounded, three of them mortally. The cutter had been won; but to keep it was anot her matter. There was. no crew to man it. even if it could be got. to sea through the squadron. " As- soon as the news ot its capture was known, or when some time had efipsed after- Its abieiice. there would be powerful boat's crews sent lor It. perliaps some ofthe smaller vessels. So. after consultation, it was agreed to cut the rigging, remove the masts, and sink the vessel in the deepest hole in the harbor, to be raised at a suitable opportunity. This was soon done, after taking tlie mov able property ashore, previously tilling the barrels of the Long Tom and carrou ades with all the melt'd beeswax that could be had in the neighborhood and then storing them in the hold. Then the pris oners were caried off by their captors over the country ami safely lodged in Philadel phia. In three days a British force came, as had been expected, and they made things lively. They burned down a number of farm-housevLIppincott's among the num ber; but the inhabitants, except those of known loyal sentiments, kept at a respect able distance from harm. Every boat up on the beAch for miles the British de stroyed. In about a year's time 0!d, Willetts. and some of the rest came back, got up a crew , raised the cutter, and found her iu good oitler. The cannons wore rusted some on the outside, but the beeswax had preserved the inside smooth. They re masted her and rigged her, cut the wasp figure head off, replaced it by the rudely carved head of a snake, rechristened her the "Rattler," and one dark, stormy night got-off to sea with lier. having ob tained letters of marque, ran down lo the West Indies, where they took ample re venge for the burning of the Middle-of-thc- Shore. In fact with the prizes they took. the master and crew shlryd quite a small fortune at the close of the war. The "Rat tler " was disarmed when peace came and embarked in a Quieter business, carrying shingles and pine boards along the coast for many years. I he Independent. For the Kitchen. ArrLE PCFF3.
