We are now enjoying delightfal weather, and so faras its influence can affect the spirits, and | give tone to the great mass congrégated here, it is fully felt. The streets are crowded with carriages after dinner, and those who love to devote a few | hours to a drive out of town, are occupying them; | While others are quietly promenading the groves and walks, or engaged in other e: ses. We have any quantity of profe: here at present, of almost every science and art. Phy- siology, in some of its branches, is receiving the attention of Dr, Banning. Professar Rodgers, of yout city, with Miss Loomis, are on hand to put those who are vincible to sleep, and to carry away into ethereal regions, from whence, by ré- flex or some other influences, they cam see things past, present and future, things ungeen by the natural eye,and things doubtless never seen at all, and existing in the imagination only of the be- holder, Professor Adams is here too, from Boston, with promises to tell those who visit him“ just what Wey are, without respect of persons.” ‘This is to be done by phrenological examination of the sub- Ject. Then we have here, as at other places, other protessiens, of which I have not room to speak in this leiter, pertaining to an extensive and success- fully organised amology, by which the root of evil is wansferred from the possession of the cre- dalous and unin.tiated, to the pockets of the pro- tessors. Itis a great system, and when fully ex- hibited will afford important hints to many who might otherwise be bitten. A great pistol shooting match came off this af- ternoon at Gridley’s, between Mr. John Travar, of your city, whose establishment is in the rear of Niblo’s, weil known by the sobriquet ef Shooting John, and a crack shot from Philadelphia, Tra- var beat him nine matches out of ten, at the dis- tance of ten to filteen paces, although his shots were extraordinary good. Pennsylvania must send a better representation than that, if she can do it, and expects to maintain the reputation of her shooting sportsmen, in competition with the New Yorkers. Arrangements are made for a still greater match for the 10th of August next. Mr. J. G. Storms, of Baltimore, is to shoot with Mr. Trav srs on tuatday on a wager of $250 aside. Each of tuese gentlemen are considered shots of the first class, and large bets will be made on either side, and bring forward the utmost skill of the antago- nists. The fir ng will be with common ten inch pistols, at 15 paces. I stop here a moment to go out and see what I can see, and hear what I can hear. I see the sa- loons in the different hotels lighted up for the arties to convene inthem. Atthe United States otel, the band (Schneider’s) are playing some of taeir sweet airs tor the gratification of the five or six hundred guests tarrying there,many of whom. of recent arrival,are of the upper ten, and several from your ot: At Union Hall where are many clergymen, and the more retiring class of gentlemen and ladies. I hear the soft sweet notes of the piano, and the sound of voices in harmony with them. Con- gress Hall, too, old, well-knowa, endeared to many and venerated by some, is vocal with melo- dy. Wherever I go, along this beautiful Broad- way, on this calm and enchanting evening, are tie toxens of joy. And as I look up among the branches of the shading elms, so much like those in the quiet villages of my native New England, lam not surprised at the appearance of so many hundreds as at the present time are to be seen here, nor at the attachment mauy feel for a place they have year after year resoried to for relaxa- uion and pleasure. Long may its attractions re- main, and the health-giving waters, which now gush up from many springs, retain their virtues. Wilcox, the murderer, whose sentence has been commuted by Gov. Wright, passed through this place yesterday on his way to prison for lite He 4s a fleshy, “‘ignorant-looking” man, and appear- ed to be very indifferent to his fate. This case has excited considerable interest between the advo- cates and opposersof the origmal sentence. Caus- tic articles were written on each side by the edi- tors of the Whig, and Republican. Ramurer. Saratoga Sprinas, July 27, 1846. Ten Pins—The Sin of Playing Considered—The Season—Fire—Miss Ellis—Incidents. Where are the Rev. Dr. P. and M. . and others who were recently rusticating here 1— They leftina bad time. One of our clergymen yesterday came out in his sermon against the ten- pin alleys somewhat severely, ranking them all with gambling establishments. It is probable he was not aware thata large number of the visiting clergy are inthe practice of recreating at the more genteel and retired of the alleys in this place; and that deacons and laymen, with their la- dies, meet there for bowling, every day. Tue fact is, it is unfair to class these alleys of Mr. Cole, near Congress Spring, with gambling establishments. It is a retired, quiet, lovely place —nature and art alike have been combined in its beauty. No “sporting” is ever done there, nor nor do “sporting gentiemen” resort to it. It is the place where geniemen and ladies (who re- quire muscular exe-eise and diversion) of all reli- gions, have been in the practice of meeting, when at the springs, ee ee And it can nct be true that they have suflered from immoral influences in so doing. If they have, there are many who suffer, for a great bog wed of those who come here, visit that place daily. If there is gambling at other alleys—and if it would be improper for religious persons to bowl on them—yet that objec- tion does not exist at all places. And those of the clergy who have so much encouraged the prac- tice are needed here just now to defend it. Another fire occurred here yesterday morning, which consumed.two barns, and burnt other con- tiguous buildings somewhat. By the active and well directed exertions of the excellent fire com- panies here, alone, were the ravages of the fire prevented from extending to, and consuming ether buildings. A faithiul and praiseworthy band of men are the Saratoga firemen. The season is now, notwithstanding the un- pleasant weather, much of the time during the past two weeks, wearing its accustomed gaiety and attractiveness. Broadway here, during the day-time, looks more like your own city street of that name, than the street of a quietand plensant country village. Then, asthe night comes, every breeze that Jans the cheek, is vocal with the echoes of music; and parlor, ball and saloon, on every side, are filed with the young and beauti- ful, the wealthy and distinguished—married and single, old and young, lovers, adventurers, maich-makers and match-breakers, y, sedate, natives and foreigners, who dance sing, and laugh with joy or sigh with grief. I notice that Miss Ellis,(rom Burope,has arrived, and made arrangements for remaining here a few weeks, for the pur of introducing and teach- mg those graceful and fashiorfable dances, so popularin Europe, andin the first cities of this country, the Mazourka, Ceilarius Valse, La Polka, &c., &c. The celebrity of this lady asa teacher, will, [have no doubt, make her classe: very large and fashionable, and give new impo tance to the balls and hops of the season. A gentleman lost, on Sunday last a pair of dia- Ff ear-drops, worth $2000, They were on Monday picked up by a man living in the coun- try, who took them horae, not knowing their va- lue. On coming into the village next day, he saw an advertisement, offering a reward of $50 for them. Still wondering ywhat should make them so important to the loser, he went home, and brought them in, and restored them to the owner, receiving his $50 with pleasure and surprise, not knowing even then how much they were'worth. I was pleased with your notice of Peter Funk’s establishment. I saw a man a day or two since, who had been Funked out of $70 for a“‘one hun- dred and twenty five te lover, full jewel- led and warranted.” He did not find out his mis- take until he came here. Peter will hear from him soon. x Ramacer. Newrorr, R. L., July 25, 1946. A Chapter of Occurrences, The atmosphere around Newport has again assumed a “‘yaller complected” hue—the sun shines boldly out—the sea has thrown off its gray mantle, and looks as blue as the steel of a Turk- | presents you with a soft, dreamy picture, upon | | ning tickets have been issued for the opening ball ish scimetar—the sky,variable as a coquette, takes its cue from the sea, upon which it is now sweet ly smiling—the ‘fields look green and fresh—the | cottages white ; and in short, the whole landscape | which you could gaze until every object seems | tinted with the ** couleur de rose.” In our quiet yet well tenanted little town, there has not been much to chronicle fur the past few | days ; but the tide of immigration increases, and the season will soon be ‘in the full.” This eve- atthe * Ocean.” There has been a considerable | amount of »rivate dancing done already, but as | yet we have had no concerted movement in the matter, To-night, however, is set apart for a grand and general “ hop.” A few evenings ago I had the great good fortune | to see the distinguished Calderon de la Barca—I | do not mean Catdéron himselt,but his wife—dance | the Mazurka and the Celarius. The Madame is | well known to the reading public, as the author of a very readable two-volume book upen Mexico, which country she visited some three or four years ago, in company with her husband, who was then and for aught I know to the conirary, is still, a Spanieh Minister Plenipotentiary. The Madame herself isan Englishwoman. This fine lady pre- sents many po.nts ef distinction. Her person would attract observation in the “tallest kind of a crowd.” She is a bright blonde, with cheeks of a rich carnation, and generally wears a good- natured smile. She waltzes with much grace. There are many distinguished visiters residing here at present, among whom I might mention the Hon. Abbot Lawrence, of Boston, with his family; Judge Read, of Cincinnati, and family, c., &e, Yesterday evening the town Council gave us a pyrotechnic exhibition, the remains of the fire- works that had not been “let off” on the 4th. The exhibition was attended by over five thousand persons, I should think. Jt was given upon the ** Ocean Cliffs ;? a band of music attended. The blue and red lights gleaming upon the surf—the hoarse rushing cf the breakers, and the sweet and thrilling music, produced an effect at once strange and startling. To-day our little city was startled from its usual uiet by the report of cannon, fired at intervals from Fort Adams, across the Bay. We, at first, supposed that the commandant had recei' very late news from Camargo or Monterey, but we were soon set to rights by being informed that he was simply practising his guns—giving them toknow, no doubt, for what purpose they had been placed there, + Tam honestly of wo ate that, for urbanity and general fairness of dealing, the citizens of New- port have no parallel on the fice of the earth. Ecouimr. Newrort, July 26, 1846. Yachting on the Narragansett Bay—Historical Re- miniscences. Yesterday morning, by polite invitation of Lieut. Cornell, U. 8. M., 1 betook myself on board the revenue cutter Jackson, and by good fortune, found myself in the midst of a party of friends, bound upon a sailing excursion among the green isles of the Narragansett. Our party was small, but select, including Hon. D. J. Pearse, of Rhode Island; Judge Read, of Ohio; Mr. Wilbur, Collector ef the port; anda number of ladies, whose beauty would have graced the queenship of Cleopatra. I question if a revenue cutter ever before carried so fair a out awaking the sleeping sentries. After getting the body of Prescott in their possession, they re- turned ro mill race to their boats, and again rowed silently back to the Narragansett side of the Bay. Thus, ladies, was accomplished one of the most chivalrous feats recorded in history.” “What an interesting old house ! How I should like to live in it!” exclaimed a bewitching beauty. * Ah,” replied our captain, looking more serious than was his wont; ‘there is a house in sight ssesses far more interest, at least to me.”— * How ? where ?” cried a dozen voices at once. “There,” answered the captain, pointing to a fine-looking mansion on the hill, which stood in the centre of an extensive oichard—* that is the house in which I was born; and where I have spent, at least the happiest years of my life.”. There was something melancholy, both inthe voice and manner of the old sailor, as he | made this declaration, and we remained silent.— | Perhaps he was reflecting on his past prospects and his present position—still but the lieutenant of a revenue cutter,after twenty years of hard ser- viee—brave fellow ! were it in my power your shoulders would soon be decked with the double epaulette. Many to-day, less brave, lesscapable, issue their orders upon the deck of a 74. How long we might have remained contemplating this interesting fendact pe, I know not, for at that mo- ment our attention was called to the door of the cabin, where the mulatto steward, with a very agreeable grin, informed us that “dinner was ready.” I believe thatthis was a welcome sum- mons to all parties. The ladies had fairiy reco- vered. There is nothing like the sea air te gre an appetite, even to a lady, and we found in the cabin of the Jackson as fine a dinner as ever was eaten over salt water. It is needless to say that we practically approved of Captain Comeil’s cook—praised his pastry, and toasted his chowder. These epicurean feats having been performed, we re'urned once more to the deck, where we were treated to the thrilling spectacle of a naval battle. Drums were beaten, cannon fired, board- ers received and repelled with all the furor and confusion of a regular fight; and itis but justice to our commander, to say that ato movement was performed with a degree of alertness and precision that would have done credit to any fri- gate in the navy. Although the crew of the Jack- gon have been but lately shipped, (her regular crew having been sent tothe Gulf,) yetare they already so drilled, that with old Cornell at their head, we shoujd like to see any sneaking Mexican rivateer show her nose within fifty miles of the eee Our head was now turned, however, and ina short time we came to anchor in the beautiful cd of Newport. After shaking hands with the old Captain and his gentlemanly officers, we were rowed ashore, in high spirits at having spent so delightful a day. Ecorier. Boston, July 27, 1846. Oregon—The Tariff—Boston Harbor, and the India Trade—Allen Hopkins, the Bigamist—Liquor Case—The Herald, and the Sunday Law—Sud- den Deaths. A general contention pervades our community, whether theOregon treaty gives to Great Britain a perpetual amd free navigation of the Columbia river, or only during the existence of the Hudson Bay Company, and to that company, and those trading with them only. The mercantile interest, however, so that the question is permanently set- tled, and all cause of war with England removed, will be perfectly satisfied, whether the latter coun- freight. They were all too, with one exception, strangers to the sea; and now for the first time experienced the delightful (!) sensation of being “rocked on the cradle of the deep.” Atl0o’clock we were “ all board,” the cut- ter’s anchor soon rested upon her bow, and her eagle wings grasping the wind, we were soon standmg northward, along the silent shores of the Narraganset. es: To give you a description of the many striking objecis that met our view, within the compass of a letter, is beyond the privilege of the pen. As we were borne over the blue water, every variety of scenery flashed upon the sight; the farm house and the forest; the bold bluff and the ‘smooth shelving shore ; the snow white sand and the shingly beach ; the ruined fortress and the lonely isle; the graceful curving of the distant hills, with a thousand artificial objects that con- tinually broke upon the sigut, blending the beau- tiful with the sublitae. Let it be remembered that the shores of this beautitul bay, the hills that en- circle it, its inlets and islands, are stamped with historical interest, redolent of romantic recollec- tions. The rude ruin that crowns the islet and the cliff, tells of the times when those waters, now sleeping as peacefully as a summer lake, trem- bled under the thunder of naval cannon, when those slumbering hills reverberated with the voice of wac. About 2 o’clock, the cutter clewed all sail, and swung round upon ker anchors, her head lying northward. We were now in the middle of a beautiful sheet of water, upon which the breeze had lulted, and our little vessel lay upon its bosom without a motion. The sun that for some time had been obscured by a dark cloud, now shone forth bright and smiling; and all our party were upon deck admirmg the picturesque scenery of the shores. It was a most interesting panorama; and we were soon clustered around the old sailor, Cornell, listening to his deseription of it. There is not an object in theNarragansetBay with which he is not familiar, for he was born upon its wa- ters; and “ from a boy” the old salt “thas wanton- ed with its breakers.’ Butlet the Jackson’s com- mander speak for himself. 4 “This land upon your larboard is Conan- ieut island ; right a-head yeu see the ‘ Haltwa) RKoeks,’ and the Cl.ffsof Prudence, and the hi a the starboard are the Rhode Island hills. hat conical hill upon our starboard bow, is Mount Hope, once the head quarters of the cele- brated Indian chieftain,Metacom, or as heis more frequently called, King Philip. It lies near the town of Providence, and is much visited on ac- count of the Indian traditiou.s connected with it. On the sowh you see another conical hill—this too, during the early settlements was the residence of an Indian Sachem, call- ed Miantanimo. The hill is named after him —Tonomy, or, as it is generally pronounced, ‘Tammany,’ Hill; so you see, although once a royal residence, it has now received a most de- mocratic appellation. On its top you can see a small tower. This structure was built for an ob- servatory by the owner of the hill, and affords a fire prospect of the whole bay. Look in this rection—to the eastward. Another of these beau- tiful hills. You see the remains of a ruined torti- fication w its top. That was thrown up ” General Sullivan, in the Revolutionary war. [t was there that he made his last stand, when pur- sued by a far superior force. Many a patriot’s bones moulder there, many a patriot’s blood mois- tened thatgreen hill’s side, poured out like water in the cause of freedom.” : “© What a strange, quainclooking, double-roofed old mansion stands a little more to the south. It looks as though it had taken part in the Revolu- tion too.” “You mean the old house hemi almost under the shadow of an immense oa tree?’ “The same. There is a legend, captain, is there not?” ‘* You are right, and a most inter- esting legend at that.” ‘ Oh! Cuptain Cornell, let us hear it,” criea a dozen silvery voices at once. ‘ With all my heart, ladies ; but you have no doubt heard it before. It forms part of our yantry’s history. Thatis the house in which the ‘itish general, Prescott, was captured by the gallant Barton. lt was one of the most daring | acts of the revolution. An English frigate lay at | anchor not five fathoms from where we are floating. Another was anchored off here to lee- ward, and close in shore was a sloop of war. The whole island was occupied by English ig The army was encamped yonder on the hill, while the general held his head-quarters in the old house we are looking at. It was the dead hour of night, and the British general, not thinking of an enemy, was fast asleep in his com- fortable quarters. Awaking suddenly, he found himself surrounded by a determined band of his enemies, who gave him no chance to raise an alarm. He was pinioned and carried to their boats before he could comprehend the nature of his situation, and in half an hout after was con- veyed safely beyond the British lines. You will wonder how they accomplished this daring enter- prise. I will tell you. You perceive a small creek or mill stream emptying itself into the bay, right opposite to where we are anchored, it runs through a deep ravine,and leads up almost to the old house. Now Col. Barton his comrades had sworn to take Prescott prisoner, as an offset to the capture of the American general, Lee, or perish in the attempt and passing with muflied oars through the midst of the English Ships, they silently entered the mouthof the creek. Here, try enjoys the free use of the Columbia now and forever, or for a few years only. The uninter- rupted navigation of the seas is now, and must continue to be, the salvation of Boston; and, as a natural consequence, of New England also. There is a coolnesd here, among our capitalists, in to the new tariff bill. Heretotore, the entire capital of this section of the country has been used as a means to sustain a protective tariff; but for the last ten years, capitalists have been seeking other investments than manufacto. nies, fog their surplus funds. While railroads have absorUéd a very large amount, and yielded hand- some dividends, the transferring of our old farms and homesteads into beautiful cottage residences for the millionaire, the merchant, the trader, and the financier—and the increased amount required to conduct with pee the insurance and banking operations, together with many other sources of permanent investment—a large poftion of our most active business men now manifest little in- terest, whether the tariff is reduced or not. Seve- ral of our ship owners, grain and flour merchants, and other dealers in agricultural produce, in con- nection with the passage of the English corn bill, are rather disposed to regard the new tariff bill with favor ; but its passage will be a severe blow at the manufacturing interest of New England. It is a well known fact, the India and Calcutta trade, formerly carried on by Bosten merchants, has, by the superior enterprise and position of our merchants, been transferred to New York. For some time, the wise men of our city have been endeavoring to find out the cause. ‘The city council have moved in the matter, and the chairman of their committee stated to that body, last week, that there was no doubt it arose, ina great measure, from the fact that our harbor was rapidly up; and, unless something was doae, we should shortly be without any trade at all. Without furth sr debate, one thousand dollars were placed in the hands of the committee, to commence survey, under a skillful engineer, with acarte blanche to proceed with such further ope- rations as they may deem necessary, and to draw upon the cit treasury for funds ad libitum. The committee begin their work to-day, and are to memorialize the Legislature, and Congress, to bear q part of the expense, next winter. Two of our Courts have recently decided upon two interesting and novel cases. On Monday Jast, allen Hopkins was ae before the Mu- nicipal Court Yor bigamy. His case was a des rateone. He had first married an old lady of 63, and 18 months after married her’ grand- daughter. Lhe proof was clear. His defence was committed to the handsof a lawyer of Green- field, in which town he resided with his young wife, and where he was also arrested. His law- yer, on the morning of the trial, as he was -leav- ing the court-heuse, was struck with a paralytic fit, and_conveyed to the hospital in a helpless state, The Court ordered the trial to proceed— the defence was undertaken by a young Boston lawyer, without preparation, and unknown even to the prisoner. Conviction followed, of course. On Saturday, when the Te he came up for sen- tence, his attorney stated that he had discovered aclue to many mitigated circumstances in the prisoner’s case, and stated as reasons why sen- tence should be delayed till next term, that biga- my was acommon thing in this family ; that the first wife knew her husband was going to marry her -daughter ; that the latter’s father knew it; that all the connections knew it, and did not oppose it; that the prisoner was intoxicated when he married the old lady; and that, were he al- lowed to briug forward this evidence, it would rove to the Cenrt that this whole family were atterly ignorant of any such law as bigamy—and would exlibit a state of morals in tha: part of the State, so debased that its parallel could not be found in the country. The Court remarked, in reply, that it could not believe that any one in Massachusetts was ignorant of the crime ; and, in the absence of {abn reasons for delay, assed a sentence of three years and six months in the State prison. ¢ ‘The secund case was one inthe Court of Com- mon Pleas. One Risk, the keeper of a drinking house, purchased of Cumming & Long, liquor dealers, on credit, about $50 worth of imported liquors. Suit was brought to recover the debt. The defence was, that the statute of the Com- monwealth prohibited the sale of ardent spirits in less quantities than twenty-eight gallons, with- out a license; that no licenses had been granted in Boston; and, therefore, the sale being illegal, the claim was nulland void. (A decision of the court was cited, in a case of an illegal sale of some shingles, wherein the claim was denied and judgment rendered for defendant.) Plainuff the general issue of debt and credit. ‘he court sustained all the facts adduced by de- fendant, but, without going into the merits of the case, directed the jury to bring in a verdict for the fail¢laim of plaintiff, which they did. Excep- tions were taken by defendant, and the case will come up before the fall bench. The decision is regarded | y many as a blow at the constitution- ality of the statute probiniiing the sale in ny quantities than twenty-eight gal lons of imported | ; The accident tothe Long Island train on Satur- | day P. M., which prevented the receipt of the | Herald here until Sunday morning, afforded a good practical commentary on the piety ord nance prohibiting the sale of newspapers on the Price Two Cents. one or more copies of the Herald, and it is always to be found in Soir rooms; and yesterday, num- bers being otherwise unable to your paper, read itin the bar rooms. As every man, in re- turn for the favor afforded, is compelled to drink atthe bar, the result of the law is, that while the wise city fathers stopped the sale of a news- paper, they forced the citizens into drinking ar- dent spirits. A great effort has been made of late to prevent the owners of horses and vehicles /eaving them standing loese in the street Perhaps as good a check to it as can be found was put to the practice on Saturday last’ A coachman left his team standing on the pier at the foot of the East. ern ferry. Becoming restive, the horses backed off into the dock, and were both drowned. No one was in or near the coach. An Irish hod-carrier, who went to his work in- toxicated on Saturday, was discharged by his employer. As soon as the latter was out of sight the [rishman loaded a hod with mortar. mounted | the ladder, and had ascended to the third story, when he lost his balance, pitched backwards, a and dashed his brains out upon the bricks iow. Brooktyn, July 27, 1846. Fort Green—Its Reminiscences. This piece of old times, it appears, is in a course to receive due attention and careful pre- servation from Brooklyn’s patriots. That it will redound extensively to the honor of those directly instrumental in its preservation, there can be no doubt. Much, however, yet depends upon the manner in which it is to be preserved, and the ornaments with which it is to be decorated; all which it appears should be on a lofty scale. On this‘ height no fort was erected in those times which tried men’s souls,” but that this was a prominent observatory then, there can be no " doubt Indeed, if little occurred upon it, in its immediate vicinity and vista were enacted deeds which thrill the soul at this distant period. To the southward, from its apex, can be seen the marshes of Gowannu’s Bay, in which the flower of the Maryland forces perished in their retreat from the superior powers of the foe. Above, on the hills to the left, occurred the battle of Long Island, attended by disaster to our arms. Prom this viei- nage and the heights, it was also that on a fortui- tous foggy morning, the American forees under Washington retreated with regular pace, the or- der being given that any breaking ranks by undue haste shouid be shot down. And too, the contin- gency then happened of a tory, who going to in- form the foe ut nigtt of the Americans’ design to retreat from Long Island, met an Hessian guard, who not understanding the traitor’s tongue, imprisoned him ; and Tackily for the American arins, the object of this Judas was thus frustrated. Atthe northern base of this eminence, can seen the locality of the prison ships, wherein over 11,000 American patriets were in a loathsome manner confined ; and where many died martyrs o‘liberty; 13 coffins of the bleached bones ‘of whom were deposited in a plainly erected wood- en tomb, in Jackson street, in 1803, with ceremo- nies suiting the occasion. These are a few of the revolutionary incidents that linger round the circle of this commanding eminence, invul- nerable to the ravaging effects of time. Butas well may this lofty hill be pointed to by those having “our last war” beforethem. In the vicinity of, and on this hill then it was, that em- bankments of soil were extensively raised—Newy }:” Orleans cotton bale fashion. The patriotic sons of Brooklyn and New York united in laboring “to throw up” these protective fences. School teachers, with becoming patriotism, allowed (as a quaint MS. has it,) “the enthusiastic big boys ay haiday. to help; and political bodies joined with citizens generally in handling pickaxes, shovels, ete., to erect these defensive embank- ments. Fort Green presented a lively spectacle mid these preparations ; and this active tcene is enhanced by its_ being the encamping ground of forces under Commandant General Jeremiah Johnson, who isan Ex-Mayor of Brooklyn, and still hving. In short, the whole of this extensive eminence presents a chivalric scene with these preparation ; and this martial army— “ With bannered pomp of war and filtterin O’er whose gay trappings stern Bellona sm: With brazen tcump and spirit stirring drum, Ready to descend—a phalanx—to battering ef- forts—against invading tyrants hostile to our ad- vancing nation. / These and other reminiscences have awaken- ed in Brooklyn minds the desire to preserve Fort Green as un oasis tothe eye of memory; as a commanding position upon which the ‘historic muse loves to take her stand, and gaze upon the days extending farther and farther in the depart- ing passages of the architectured past. As a height worthy of care ; a spot where trees, fol age, and flowers—the cheering existence of na- ture—may impart their lessons to myriads the fu- ture will sead up hither; hill af Brooklyn’s pride, memente ot past deeds, ceaseless distribu- ter of healthful benefits to mutating generations— sacred spot where freemen join with nature in ole grateful incense to the infinitely great Eternal. J Itremains but to be asked: when will this height, with due ceremonies, be dedicated to the uses of the city and the city’s sons? Would it not be a pleasing (aye, and a patriotic) scene, to behold the venerable Gen. Jeremiah Johnson, with a gallant army, “taking captive this fort,” inthe name ot President Posterity ? CLgoPpHoN.
