The cheapness of thisrpubiieation, and the small profit it yields, admits of no deviation from this rule.

Of this' we think every.,gne,-who will take the trouble to examine it will become satisfied ; and also that it should be put into the hands of every family.

A correspondent of theJfOw-York American, now on a lour through the western states, thus sketches tho locali- ties and some of the incidents connocled with Braddock's .defeatby HieIndlanain 1765, It was a bright, bracing auttiirinal rilorn- iiig, as I rode Out of Pittsburg with a party of gentlemen for \ Braddock»s field.\\ Our route followed the course of the river; some- times keeping the rich bottom on its borders, .and agaiu ascending a hilly ridge which al- ways commanded some varied view of that stream, conducted here by .steep hills, whose shadows met as they slept Upon its' quiet bosom, and expanding there into a small lake, apparently so completely land-locked that It seemed not a part of the bright cur- rent you can see flashing through those mead- ows further on. After catching more- than one glimpse like this of the landscape behind, us, whose sunny fields contrasted beautifully with ttiq dense smoke .of Pittsburg in the' back ground, wo struck into a ravine cutting the road hitherto pursued at right angles..— Winding now thro' a deep dingle .where the pathside was festooned with vines, we cross- ed a small brook and reached the shore of the Monongahela opposite to a broad alluvi- al flat, whose High cultivation and sunny as- pect contrasted vividly with the wild and se- cluded dell from the mouth of which we be- held it. The road next led for some distance through a wood on the immediatebank of the river, and then gaining the moje public highway, we found ourselves, after passing several comfortable farm houses, immediate- ly in front of the battle ground.. It is cut up now by three or four enclo- sures,—the field upon which the fight was hottest lying nearly in the centre, bdSnded on one side by the road, and having its op- posite extremity about a quarter of a mile from the river, with a wooded flat interven- ing. Beyond this fiat is the ford over which Braddock passed. The ground about three hundred yards from the ford rises in a grad- ual slope for some two hundred yards more, and then swells suddenly into a tolerable steep hill, the summit of which may be half i a mile from the river. On the middle slope lies the central field of acton, to which I have already alluded. It is seamed with two shal- low mivines which-run parallel with each oth- er towards the river, and are about gunshot apart. In these ravines, concealed by the under- wood,.and protected by the trunks of trees fellecyor the purpose, lay the French and Indian force. It amounted, according to the best accounts, to only five hundred men, and was commanded by a subaltern officer, who suggested this ambuscade as a desperate ex- pedient to save Fort Du*?Q,uesne from the overwhelming force that was about to invest it. The road of Braddock lay immediately between thgse enfilading parties. It was about midday when he passed his troops over the river in detachments of two hundred and five hundred, followed by the the baggage, and the my commanded by him- tetter-had. hardly time to form upon the flat below, when a qflifik-JLbe.under fire in front told them that the two detach- ments which had gained the first slope were already engaged. Their comrades advanced iu double quick step to Sustain them; but the whole five hundred gave way,, and falling back upon the advancing troops, struck pan- ic and dismay throughout the ranks in a mo- ment. The confusion seemed for a while irremediable. Some fired off their, ammu- nition without-aim orobjoct* and others, deaf Ho^re-comnaan^^md-exhoxlations-^of thejr officers, flung away theirarmsand gave them- selves up at once to despair. , Burning with the disgrace, and eager to shame their soldiers into better conduct, the British officers advanced singly and in squads among the bullets of the enemy. They were slaughtered indeed like sheep, but their men whose retreat had been partially cut off by the river, rallied at the galling sight, and af- ter the cool determination of young Wash- ington, who had already had two horses shot under him, and his clothes pierced with bul- lets, had imparted some steadiness to their feelings, they seemed ready to protract the fight to the best advantage. The madness of Braddock, however, whose weak mind took fire at\ the idea of receiving a lesson from a provincial youth of three and twenty, destroyed every remaining chance of suc- cess. He iqsisted upon his men forming on the spot, and advancing in regular platoon against an enemy which none of them could see. Line after line, they would hardly at- tain a pace between the fatal ravines before they \would be mowed down like grass. But their courage was now up, and though brok- en and some disordered, they attempted, with courageous pertinacity, to secure each step they gained by protecting themselves behind the. trees, and returning the murderous fire of the foe after his own fashion. The mili- tary .coxcomb who commanded this ill-fated band would not hear of.this. He stamped, rayed* and swore, calling his men cowards, and struck them with his sword. In the meantime, an evolution was being executed, in another part of the field, whic^mightyct have turned the fate of the day. Ca*pt. Wag- goner, of the Virginia forces, pughed his fine corps, consisting of 80 men, beyond the voice of his besotted commander, to the summit of the hill, with the loss of only three men, in running the fearful gauntlet Be did to' at- tain that position. A fallen tree here pro- tected his brave little force, and enabled him to rake the ravines which lay at right angles to his natural breastwork to gueatadvantage. But the Virginians were mistaken by their English friends below, for a new enemy, and fired upon *o. furiously, that they were com- pelled to retreat from their position, with the loss of two*>t$frds «f the corps killed by their misguided- comrades. Thus was the strife \ protracted forlieariy three hours, when the fall of Braddock; after losing seven hundred men and fprty* i ofncers, puj, ah end to the blind conflicfi>* Fifteen hundred men, being thrice the number of the. foe engaged, es- caped to tell the havoc of the day, and spread consternation and horror throughout the pro- vince. The military chest of the British, con- taining 25;000 pounds, fell into the hands of the enemy, as did. likewise an expensive train of artillery, with ammunition and provision to a large amount. Among thos& who per* ished on this disastrous occasion, were<Sir William Shirely, a son of the GsvjsrndV of N. York, and Sir Peter Halket, with tone „of his sons, and other officers Of distinction or promise. Sir John St. CUiuai&tf&tox&CoU oncl Gage, afterwards well known in our rev- olutionary history, were among die 'wdVindr eel. Jriariy of the officers fell at the first on- set, but Braddock himself had advanced some' distance up the hill when hejtfikeiivJBd. the ' mortal wound of which he died a day of two afterward.. The stump of th& frM against which he leaned after being strWfc, is* still by the flying troops, and dying wllb^nj^nx-.j/jojjj, others pn the march, was buried beneath the | a soul road over which his\men; were retreating^ The letters of Horace VV^alpole, recently published, have thrown p light upon Brau-\ dock's character, that should put an end at once to all the.forbearance that has hitherto been exercised in commenting Upon his share in this bloody transaction, The misfortunes of the hot and misguided, but highbred and gallant soldier, were to he touched upon with lenity ( The selfish rashness and utter des- titution of military capacity of the broken down gambler, should bestigmatiZWkas they deserve. Yet it is not from Walpoletflone that we learn what ^presumptuous blockhead •England sent hither to mend his ruinedfor^ tunes,-at the risk of the best blood in the country. For, though history has dealt so .leniently with his character, the records of those times paint the man in his true colors; aod^so-gross was his ignorance, and so offen- sive his pride, that he seems to have been hated and despised from the moment he as- sumed the command of the forces destined hither. The interest with which I viewed the battle-ground, has kept me'all the morning looking over a mass of documents relating to those times, and, as they are still before me, I am tempted to make more than one extract. \ We have a general,\ writes the brave and accomplished 'Sir William Shir- ley, from the camp at Cumberland, to his friend, Governor Morris, .at Philadelphia, \we have a general most judiciously chos- en for being disqualified for the Service he is employed in, in almost every respect. lam greatly disgusted at seeing an expedition, (as it is called,) so ill concerted originally in England, so ill*appointed, and so improperly conducted since in America. I shall be very happy to retract hereafter what I have said, and submit to be censured as moody and ap- prehensive. I hope, my dear Morris, to spend a tolerable winter with you at Philadelphia.\ Poor Shirley, he never saw that winter. He was shot through the brain at the very com- mencement of the battle. There is a lively comment on this letter, in the well known reply of Braddock to the prudent suggestions of Washington, previous to the battle:—\By G—d, Sir, these are high limes, when a Brittish General is to take counsel from U Virginia buckskin.\ . But the speech of an Indian Chief before the council of Pennsylvafiia, preserved'among the records of Harrisburgh, offers an illus- tration still more striking. \ Brothers,\said the sagacious ally of the colonists, \it is well known to you how unhappily we have been defeated by the French onMonangahe- la. We must let you know that it was of the pride and ignorance of that great Gen- eral that came from England. He is now dead; but he was a bad man when he was alive. He looked upon us as dogs, and would never hear'any thing that was said to him. We often endeavored to advjse him and to tell him of the danger he was in with his sol- diers. But he never appeared pleased with us, and that was the reason that a great ma- ny of our warriors left him, and would not his command. Brothers, we ad- vise yoifffot to gfw up rf)#^p(»«Jt,.{Jlough we have in a measure been chastised frominTiove'r But let us unite our strength. You are very numerous, and all the Governors along your eastern shores can raise men enough. I)on't let those that come over the great seas be concerned anymore. They are unfit to fight in the woods. Let us go by ourselves— we that come out of this ground. We may be assured to conquer the French.\ Tho mil- itary counsel and support of this intrepid and liigh-so ufed Chf gftatrr wontd have been heard at least, even if it did not prevail, in\the camp of Napoleon. Does it not make you indig- nant to think how it was trampled upon and insulted by such a creature as Braddock 1 — One would have thought that the insolent spjrit of the London debauchee would have felt rebuked into nothingness^ before the gen- ius of the warrior of (he woodg. But let the man rest; he had that one virtue to which all weak minds bow—courage. And ho had the Hessians, that iu a subsequent war were bought to fight against ns for eighteen pence a day. May we rather meet again and again, such brave mercenaries in battle, than be marshalled once to the fight by a leader, whom even valor cannot shelter from deserv- ed contempt. The field of this celebrated action presents of course a very different appearance, from what it did when Braddock's followers were here hunted through the forest. It is how- ever but a few yeats since the wood was 'cut from the side-hill, and traces of the conflict are still occasionally discovered in the grove along rile margin of the wet below. I was told that bones and bullets, with rusted knives, hatchets and bayonets, were sometimes even yet turned up by the plough, in the spot where the fight was hottest. Thfs central field was cleared about seventeen years since. It was heavily timbered at the time, and they tell iu the neighborhoocHhnt the teeth of the saws in the mills adjacent were continually broken upon the balls iinbeded in the ancient trees. Incredible quantities of human bones and rust-eaten weapons are said to have been.found beneath the surface of the soil, when the plough first invaded this memorable wood.— I picked up a bone myself, which my horse's hoof disengaged\ from the soil* but my skill in anatomy not being sufficient to determine whether it was even human or not, I rcturn- edthe mouldering relic to the dust, of which it was rapidly becoming a part. It was an animated and interesting hour's amusement, after our party had taken down the interme- diate fences, which were top high to clear, to gallop ove/ the whole battle-ground, and sur- vey it from every point. A prettier spot to fight on, never greeted the eye of a soldier. The undulations of the field are just suffi- cient to exercise a nice military discrimina- tion iii the choice of position, while the ground is-iyet so little broken that cavalry might fe on any partsof it* to advantage.-r- The centre .of the battle-fiejd «would com- mand a~ fine view* of the rivers were but afis- ta or two Put in the w*ood below: and- even now if offers a beautiful scite,f6r a- private*] residence, ahdwduld T witfemeJalidsTidi^etit, \made a noble park.
