This was John Tyler1 voluntary pledge to the pcoolo of the United Status on assuming the duties of the Executive station, and before the pestiferous brontli of intriguing flatterers had poisoned Ilia cars wiih whispers of a re-election to tlio 1'residoncy-onlv to be gained by tlie basest mid grossest tergi veraation, treachery and hvpucricy. On the subject of removals, the weak, vain old man who fills the Presidential Clnir, has entirely reversed his position, He retains in office no rran who acts upon the prin ciples he avowed -before the tisioua uf an uuhijlow ed ambition Imd corrupted his heart. If an officer squares bis conduct by Unit rule, he is sure to incur the displeasure of the Executive, and to bring down unon his hoid swift vengeance. Jolin Tyler is not to be (Uttered or propitiated by being reminded of bis own prescribed measure of public duty. Nothing now saves the incumbent of office, but "rfire pnrtizniahi" and the nost flagrant prostitution of his official influence to the support of his master's pretensions. The whole power of the Government is now perverted to the Kde purpose ol constituting; Join. Tyler o candidate for the Presidency.

We can in noway more 'appropriately conclude these remarks, than by appending to them a few par agraphs which we fmd in our eastern exchanges of yesterday and to-day.

Wasson has been appointed post-master in this city, in tho place ol General holomon Van Rensselaer.

What an outrage is this !

Il is surmised tint more than Ihree Removal of tho Seat of Government. IN MK.NATK FfcBHUAitT 17, ltltli. Mr. I-AiiM, from tlie majority of the standing committee on Public Institutions, to which the subject had been referred, made tiie following REPORT : A majority of tho standing committee on Public Institutions, to whom was referred the memorial of a meeting of citizens of Licking county, relative to a removal of the seat of government of the State from its present locution, now report: That they have given the subject as much consideration as was at this time deemed necessary ; oud, from all tlc information which they have been able lo collect, they have concluded to present, for the cuisi deration of the Senate, a tew facts relative lo the following general proposition, viz: Can the Legislature of the State pa an act removing the seat of government from its present location, without a violation of the faith of the State f They would remark, that they have concluded to confine themselves to a discussion of this general proposition, nt this time, tor the reason, that, should the Senate agree with them in their opinion that the seat of government cannot be removed without a vi olation ot the butli ot the state, tint then it would be unnecessary to go into any further investigation ot the suhiect. II, however, a majority ol the mem bers of the Senate should think dillcrent in regard to this proposition, it would then become necessary, al ter further action had been had on the subject, to present such considerations ns would tend to show that the interests of the peode of the State would not he permanently promoted by making a removal. That a removal of the seat of government of the State, is a subject of deep and abiding interest, not only to the citizens of Columbus, but to the people of the whole Stiite, is u proposition which will not be controverted by any one at all acquainted with the various interests which are intimately connected with tho matter, and which will jiroperly become tlie subjects of discussion, should the Legislature seriously entertain the idea of making a removal; but until the committee, or a majority of it, is siitiefiod by further action, that suHi an idea is seriously entertained, they will content themselves by presenting such facts as are alone connected with the proposition before laid down. With a view of arriving at a correct conclusion in j regard to this proposition, a majority of the committee h ive made a thorough examination of the action of the Legislature of the State, )reviou- to the passage of an act entitled "an act lixing and establishing the permanent and temporary seats of government of the Stale," passed February 1 1, IMA They have undo this examination for the double purpose of enabling them to give a correct construction to the provisions of that act, independent of nil foreign considerations, ami, also, to ascertain if they could, the understanding of all pirUcs interested at tin time d the passage ot the law ; and this t-tr the reason oto river, opposite the town of ''rai.klintop, agreenf bly to trie propositions ol Alessrs. btarlnig, nerr, McLaughlin and Johnson; and that from and after the first day of May next, Lancaster shall be tho temporary seal of government until otherwise direct ed ny law." It may bo well to remark here, that, in all the legislation in regard to this subjoin, subsequent to the adoption of ibis resolution, the word temporary is used, as contradistinguished from the word perma nent, and whenever the tonner word is used, il reters to the temporary seat of government at Lancaster or Clullicothe, ns contradistinguished from the perma nent seat of government, ut the now city ot Columbus.After the odoption of this resolution in the Senate, it was sent to the House for concurrence ; uud was so amended in the House as to provide that Chilli-cothe, instead of Lancaster, should be the temporary seat of government : and it appears from tin; journals that tho "House appointed a coinmitte of three members, to act conjointly with the committee appointed on the part of the Senate, to bring in a bill Ijtiinq the permanent and temporary sea s of govern ment, agreeamo to u resolution 10 imu uneci ; mm a bill was accordingly reported in the Senate on the Hlh of I'Vhniary, I rip', entitled ua btil firing and establishing the permanent and temporary seats of government."If we bear in mind, then, the fact that the resolu tion required that the permanent sent of pu verniiiout should be located at the place where it now is, and the tciiqorary seat ot government ut the town of Chiilicnlhc, and that the permanent one was to be in pursuance of, or agreeably o,tl: propositions of Lytic Starling and others, we cutinoi resist coming to the conclusion that the understanding of ull parties was that the location should be a permanent one, ascon-tra-distingui-heil fnrn tiny Miimher of years; mid that the proposals made were made with tint express understanding, and none other, nnd thatthe Legislature could not vary this understanding and agreement without tiie express assent of those whoso proposal they were about to neeept. And such were undnnlitedly the provisions of the bill, and there would not have been room foruny doubt whatever, in regard to the matter, had it not, on it t fund passage, and in the great haste and anxiety of the Leg islature on the subject, been amended in the second section, by wnv of rvder, by adding thene words to weight will appear from the consideration, that al though, the act, aforesaid, is expressly predicated on the proKsais ol Alexander McLaughlin, Joint Kerr, Lyue Starling and James Johnson, yet by a comparison of these proposals, with tho donations oil bred by Moses tiyxbee and Henry Baldwin, for Delaware and James nilboiirne, and others, lor Worthington, thev will be found less advantageous to the State, and the place estnblishid fot the perma tienl seat of government more remote from the centre of the State, than cither of these last mentioned." ilus is the language of those mum hers ot the legislature who violently opposed the passage of the law, and it appears to a majority of the committee, that this language is as strong as possibly could be used, showing that even the opponents ot the measure were satisfied that the law permanently fixed tlie seat of government at its present location ; and that the w ord permanent w as understood as w ithout limit, and applicable to the location at the now city of Columbus while the word temporary was applicable alone to the seat of government as fixed at Clullicothe, until December of the year JH 17. Uut again, after giving nn outline of tho proposals made by Delaware and Worthington, the protes-l nuts make use of this emphatic language: "The pro)osals accepted by tho legislature wero for expending, on such public buildings ns the legislature shall direct, a sum not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, together with a public square, uud a ten acre lot of laud; and considering the place fired as the permanent seat of government, in consequence of these proposals, ns possessing, iVc. Again, "tnai me ace established by suidact is not as suitable lor the in.rtnantnt seat of government tut others nrojiosed, &c." Again, "hut the undesigned have other reasons of a different complexion, from thusc above offered, lor their dissent lrom the act uhove mentioned, and we do dissent therefrom because there was no pres sing necessity for fixing the permanent sent of govern ment tit tins tune, &c., ami tfiusturoiignouuiie wnoic protest they make use of lungunge equally strong, siioumg, unequivocally, mat u was trie iiuemion oi the legislature to lix and establish, permanently, the seat of government of the State ut the place where it now is. In the face of ull this, could the legislature make a removal, without a manifest violation of the faith of the State, and a direct outrage upon the rights of the citizens of Columbus ? A majority of the cluse uf the section: "and there euiiliuue until the first i!ay of May, eighteen hundred and forty, and from thence until otherwise provided for by law." With this ain'-iidiiient it pissed the Senate, went to the House, and, after divers attempts to amend and defeat the bill, w ithout success, it passed the 1 louse, and became n law. And upon a proper condmction of the provisions of this law, depends the action of the Legislature, so far ns reg irds the general proji-osiliou us to whether the seat of govermm'iit can be removed without a violation of the fiith of the Stiite. The first section of the law is in these words : "He it enacted, c,, that the proposnU made to tins Leg- thousand dollars have been thus collected from offi cers of customs, of which one half it unarrountut for. What says Mr. Tyler to this tampering with the press A. 1'. Jmtricnn. A similar course Ins been pursued in this city. Office holders under government have been severely taxed for the vupport of sundry obscure evening issues, of the existence of which hardly one citizen in ten lias been aware, and then only by h iving gathered so much ot their names ns can lie learned from the bawling boys al tlie corners. There have been several of these fungi, we believe, that li.no been manured info some puffy growth by the Tvlerism of this city, but we would fun think that this is too pore nn atmosphere for toadstools to thrive in.

We nre unable to answer the inquiry ns to what bills, passed by the Legislature, have been nullified by the neglect uf the Speakers to sign them, except in one instance that of the bill to a'ltltorire tin construction of a Rail Road from the Penitentiary to the s'.onc quarries. We do not know lint any bill of generul public interest is among the number. Considerable anxiety Ins been fell by our citizens in relation te the above Rail Road, and some ell'orts arc in progress to procure the cou-uumiation id them bills, even now ; but we really do not see bow the omission of the Speakers to p"rforin their duty is lo be remedied. Wbul date w ill acts of the Legislature bear, signed n month after the adjournment? How can tlie Secretary of Slate certify respecting them? Will not the precedent introduce d lng'.'rous and improper practices hereafter? Another curious circnm-itance Ins been the subject of conversation in this city. The legislative reports nnd journals show thai " Win. V. Sanderson" was elected (Quarter M ister General, on Saturday the I Ith in st. Now it turns out that the act which authorised the election of that officer, was not signed i and could not take elf-ct until the Pl'.h, two days af ter.

THE IIEUOKH OV WAI.POLB, The first civilized inhabitant of tho present town of Walpole, N. H., was John Kilburn, who settled there in 17-1! I. The largo and fertile meadows nt the mouth of Cold River, in that township, slightly covered with tall butter-nut and ancient elm trees, presented an invited prospect to new colonist?, and an eifcy harvest to the hand of cultivation. Just above them, along the easy bunk of the Connecticut, wus the dehle, bounded uy steep mountains, which formed (he Indian highwuy to and from Charleston, the next township. There, too, w as the head of shad navigation, the great fishing ground of the savages from time immemorial. Next below this narrow pass, by the river, nnd nearer the meadows, is the site of an ancient Indian village, now occupied by a tavern. Next on the south, nnd bounding the meadows uurth-emly, wus Cold River, a small branch of the main stream, overshadowed with tall maples and elms. The meadows themselves were uboul half a mile in extent; the Connecticut on their western side, and a semi-circle of woods on the east, with a central round eminence, forty feet high, from which issues at this day a medical spring. It was here that the adventurous and hardy Kilburn built himself a log-hut, and here he inhabited the solitude of the forest for two years, without any intercourse with friend or foe. During this time, his life was one continued scene of danger and banish ip. 1 Ic sought opjiortuiiities to cultivate the friendship of the Indians, who roamed mid prowled in the woods around him; but in this nttomjithc w as w holly unsuccessful. They avoided him studiously in the day tune, and in the night, he soon found that they approached his humble habitation only for the purjiosu of dealing him the deadly blow. lie was finally obliged, in consequence of . this state of things, to udopt the plan of "rnmpinj out" at different periods in the woods each night, with nothing but the cold earth for his bed, a bear skin for bis covering, nnd u cartridge-box for his pillow. In this manner he continued himself to elude the scalping knives of bis lurking enemies, though they not uufrequeutly visited and plundered hm hut in his absence.

Instead of di- vorv clearly indicate this; uud the whole action of the Senate forces us to come to the same conclusion. Such was the understanding, not only by the Legislature but by the people, which is evident, from the fact that whenever nil attempt was made to change the bill to one of a temporary character, from that ot n permanent character, it was invariably defeated, for the reason lint it wis inconsistent with the design of ii majority of the Legisliture, nnd the wishes i the ponple. At the next session of the Logi-datub being thosessiuiiof 1H 1 and 'Pi, the subject was again taken up in the Sen it, as unfinished bininess. and referred to a committee of five members, w ith iiHtruc-tions to receive proposals on the subject nnd report the same to the Senate, and Messrs. Lvaus, Purvi- unce, Toil, Pntchird, and Itureao, were appointed said committee. On the fnih of January, the committee reported to the Senate tint ihey had received proposals tor seven dillerent places, to be the permanent seat of government, one of which was the high bank on the eat side uf the Scioto river, nppo- ito Pnniklnitoii, and jireseuted for tie consideration of the Sen ile extracts from the dillerent proposals, all of whii'h were undo that tho at at of gortrnntnit icon be ptrmnntnUii firtif andnlthiixhid, at ihe place designated ill the respective prop Hals. Tint a majority of the commiltee cannot be mistaken in this view of the nntter, they think is very clour, not only from the language of tlie proposals, but also from tie fact that all proceedings in the premises wore hid in continuation of the proceedings nn th bdl for fixing permanently tlie seat of govern ment of th' State, as in lien rs from h re lore nee to the journals of the Senile. On page ,, of the jourinl tor I-JI and I,', we find the following miry in reference to the repoil nfj the committee, which had bee, previously commuted j to a rouiiniitee of the w hole S -into : "The Senate, according to the order of the day, resolved itself into n coiiitilllleo of the whole Senate, on the report ol the select couimitlee to whom was referred so much of the unlim-died husine.-H as relates l'i a bill entitled "nn art firing pt r maw nVy tin scat of Hovmtnuat and iifi'T some time spent therein, the Speaker resumed the ch nr, and Mr. Caldwell n-portcd tint tlie committee had, according to order, hid sud report under considctulion. made progiess therein, and usked b- ive to sit again.'1 Again, on pige K7. we find the following: "Mr, Kv.un I nd on the clerk's table proposals from inhabitant nf the town of Wortlunntmi, for fixing the pnniant nl seat ut government: which were referred to the coimiiitleo of the whole Senate, to whom wan referred the report of the select committee on the same snbiect."

We publish to-day, the candid and satisfactory re-hirt of the majority of the Committee of ihe Senate on Public Institutions, draw n up by Mr. Lamm, which continns facts and conclusions of imvirtnnce to our city readers, and is not wholly destitute of interest to the body of the people of the State. After the wh ibis section, clearly closes the contract between the Stale and th'e in livuhnls: and that all lint could be required on tlie pirt ofSlarlingand others, was a emu-plrince with Ihe conditions ot the contract, and ll.eir right was perfect as against all the world. And it is understood that the conditions were complied w ith in every particular, to the entire sati.-hirtioii rf the Stiie. The second section of the bill, until uMiPiided by way of ryder, was in these words: "That the seat of government m this State be mid the same is hereby fixed uml permanently eniblish-rd on tin 1 and aforesaid, and the Legislature shall commence their session thereat on the first .Monday of December, A. D., 1.17." liere.then, we perceive tint while the first section provided, us il were, for closing the rout net, the first clime of the second section provided for fixing the location, (HTmaueully, of the seat of government, and the latter clause declare.) when the Legislature should ronum ncc its ses-ioii at tin location lived upon. Thus fir we have from tin' Slate three distinct propositions: lint, we accept th piohnals ; second, we fr and puma-ami !ii tittahlish the seat of gnrrrnmrnt, in compliance with such prH)sals ; and, thud, we spcci'y the tune at which the Legislature shall commence itss simH at the place thus fixed iin.j. If, th-m, we add the amendment by wuy uf ryder, and how far does it chanL'e the feature of the law, and which id' the three iroisiiions does it affect ? It could certainly not have been intended to qualify the first and second propositions; for, if so, it would have been in violation of Ihe ciihltuct us entered into between the contracting parties, nnd which was previoii-ly fully complied Willi on the part of the doiiors.nml, consequently, cniild not be varied on the part of ihe Slate, without ihe assent ot the other party. Ihe clause, then, must hue been intended to apply only l the session of Ihe Legislature, and ntih il receives thm retisiiuction ihe law is inconsi-tent nod absurd upon its face, lint ndminitig that this amendment was lidded wilh a Mvw of changing the provismus of the law, slill it would be considered a nullity, and should be treated ns such, for the reason that it was in direct contravention of the contract prcvioiislj closed netwreti the parties, and the renditions of it fully complied with on the part of Starling mid others, nnd therefore all rendu hih nnd limitaimtis winch were subseqin nil y ndJJPBBB ..inding "n the oiHHite party; nnd -o'lnd tho Legislature nttempt lo enforce them without the assent of the donors, it would, to say the least of it, operate ns n forfeiture uf the cont met on the part of the Slate, and yive to tho donor a right to the property they gave. majority of the coumulter are, then fen, clearly of opinion li.nl tdioiild the Legi-latuie p-iss a law ie-moiiiig the neat uf government from Columbus, it would be a violation of the contract between Starling and other, on the one side, and the State on the other, and such a furfcilure of the taiih uf the State as would certainly not be justified by any code of nior.iN with which a majority of the couuniltee nre acquainted.

Very considerable interest has been excited among the planters of Indian corn at ti discovery recently made of extracting sugar from the common corn. The Commissioner of Patents, Mr. II. U Lllsworih, m his last report to Congress, gives a very full nnd interesting account of this discovery, and the mode of extracting the sugar. According to Mr. Lils-worth, the corn stalk yields more sugar, in proportion to weight of material, than sugar cane and thatthe quality of the hi gar and molasses is ln'tter. Lx- peritueuts s'llih icutly have not us yet, perhaps, been made lo estuhli-di the cost of making the corn sugar, i and n hether il can be produced at an expanse winch will ju-tify our furtuers diiectiug their attention to , the in liter. Hut now tint the fact is beginning to j engie'it attention, we shall not long bo in doubt nn ; this subject. If il should prove, upoiisulhcicnttrinl, and as the report of .Mr. Lllsworih lends to the belief it will that the sugar from corn can be made ;is cheaply ns ihe sug ir from u;'o, it will soon become mi important business of our fanner.', nnd lead to an important revolution in the trade of the world. The follov.ing is an abstract of ihe report of Mr. KllMvorth on this subject: AM accounts concur in representing the juice of this plant, when it Ins been grown with Morencc to the ini-rea-M of its sachannc matter, ns some V.0 per cent, richer than tint of cane, grow ing in Louisiana. It has many other advantages over that plant in the i production of sugar. Cane is only propagated by , luyers, nnd it takes the entire crop of one acre to plant three. hie acre of of good corn will plant a hundred. The machinery for crushing cane and expressing its juice costs at least three times as mikdi iiwthat required to perforin the same operation on corn st ilks. The proves of evaporation of ninize juice is very similar to that used in making sugar t'rJKi rane. After having "elected good seed corn it should be planted with a drilling machine in rows two feet and a half' a part, nnd il' prictie-ihlc from north to South. A kernel of corn should b dropped every two or three inches in each row. The after-culture is done with a horse-hoe. The next operation is taking off th" embryo ears. Many stalks will not produce any, but whenever they appear they must be -removed. This should be done just before the formation of the kernel, nnd after tho silk is visible on the ear. Before the frost comes, nnd after the stalks are matured, they should be topped and bladed, and then cut up and taken to the mill and ground immediately. 1 he null is coiitnu-ted something niter the fashion of those used for crushing apple in the manufacture of cnler. Or what is better, one made of three cast iron rollers lying horizontal, nnd so urrunged that ihe stalk passes twice between lb'm. The juice after coming from the mill should stand only a few minutes to denisil some of its coarse impurities, when u must be utrnmed through a flannel cloth in order to separate ich mntters ns will not pass through it. Lime water in then added in the proportion of two sooni full to n gallon, lo neutralize any acidity that there may be in the juice. If the acidity by any tuenits becomes considerable, a siillicient quantity of the carbonate of soda must be added to correct it. The evaporation should not be delayed, but must be performed rapidly in large pins made for the pur-po"e.Tlie juice should be carefully skimmed before ebul- i;ioi commences, time a tort also on the neighboring tovvnship of .Vun- i ber-Four now called Charleston. These additions to ihe ower of ihe Whites in this quarter hnd an essential inllu'Mico upon the respect mid the fear felt for them by the Indians; nor was il long before a company of tho latter descended the river in their cnuoes, landed above the falls, uml invited their old acquaintance, Kilburn, to trade with them. He accepted their invitation without scruple or hesitancy, visited their encampment, bought furs of them, and mad'! them presents of flints, (lour and fish-hooks. From this time they continued to hunt, fish and lodge occu-d dually in tho neighborhood. The report of their guns, with w loch the w bites bad furnished them : long ere this, and the smoke of their low wigwams ! among the trees became mingled with the familiar occurrences ot daily life. The atlairs of the settler continued to prosper until I7."i:t, w hen the first alarming incident occurred to disturb their security. Two men, by the names of Twrfrhell and Find, who had gone back to the hills, about a mile east of the Holllement to procure some ash timber for oars, were fired upon and killed by the Indians. ne of them was scalped. The other they barbarously cut open, took nut his heart yet warm, laid it upon his breast, nnd thus left him to be found by Ins friends. This massnerc was among tho first appearances of a rupture of the negotiations for peace pending between Kngland and France, nnd was the commencement of a new and long series of Indian ravages. It was, uior. jver, the first christian blood which was spilt in Walpole; and the impression it produced upon the minds of the settlers was propor-tionably deep and lasting. The bodies of the mur dered men w ere mined near where they were tonnd, in a spot still indicnted by a ridge of land, on tho west side of ihe road about two miles north of Walpole village. It was believed by the friends of Tw itchcll at least by some of the number tint bis guardian sjiirit continued, as long ns his savnge murderers lived, to hover over them, by night and by day, and to warn them of tho wiles of the Indians. Kven a rock in the Connecticut river, where he ued to fish with never-failing success, was for a long time held in religion veneration; and few, it is nimored of all those who to tins day go to angle from "Tw itch ell Rock,' return without taking from tlie stream a generous fry. In the spring of 17(15, an Indian by tho name of Philip, who had just h irno Knglis' enough to be understood, visiud Kilburn's log-house, under pretence of being niton a hunting excursion ahd in want of provisions. He w-as treated w ith kindness, and furnished liberally with Hints, meal, and various other articles which be asked for. Soon after his de- l part ure, it was ascertained that the snme Indian had visited all (he settlements on Connecticut river about the same time, nnd with the same plausible story. I ne condition was, wan Minnrn nnd his tellow settlers, tint Philip was a scout employed by the enemy. This suspicion was soon after confirmed by intelligence received nt nil the forts on the frontier, through u triendly Indian, from Governor Shirley at Albany. He stated that tour or five hundred of tho Savagei were collected in Canada, whoso object it was to butcher the w hole white population on Connecticut river. Tho settlers and thor of Wnlpnle among the number were startled by these tidings; but they were not dishenrtened. They valued their hard-earned harvests and their solitary homos in the wilderness, humble ns they were, too high to leave them from the mere apprehension nf danger. They bad been accustomed, too, lo nil the hardships of a rude life ; and long had they looked for the time to come, ns it came now, when they must defend themselves or die in the cause. Kilbtnn nnd his comrades now fortified their hnbi daunted by this performance, however; and he even managed to get the first tire, before the smoke of the enemies' gnus obstructed bis aim. He was confident that this discharge Drought down an inuian, wno, from his extraordinary size, and from other circumstances, appeared to bo Phillip. A moment after, the companions of the fallen savnge now mustered in full force rushed fiercely forward to the work of destruction ; nnd probably not fewer than four hundred bullets were lodged in Kilburn's house at tho first fire. The roof, especially, was made a perfect "riddle sieve." This leaden shower was kept up for some time, with nn incessant blaze and clamor, while detachments of the enemy were amusing themselves with butchering the stray cattle, and destroying tho hay nnd grain in the surrounding meadow. Kilburn uud his men, meanwhile, wero by no means idle. Their powder was already poured into hats for the convenience of loading in a hurry, and every thing prepared for a spirited defence or a glorious death. They bud several guns in the house, all of which were kept hot by incessant firing through the port-holes; and as they had no ammunition to spare, each one took special aim, to have every bullet tell. The women assisted in loading the guns. When the stock of lead grew sennty, they had also the presence of mind to suspend blankets horizontally near the roof of the house, inside, to cutch the enemy's balls. These they immediately run into new bullets, it necessary, w hue the men took it upon themselves to have them returned to the savages with interest. Tlie latter made several attempts to hurst open tho doors of the house, but tho tire of the brave little garrison was too hot lor them. Most of tho tune, therefore, they endeavored to keep behind stuuqis, logs, and trees, evidently showing, by this management, that they began to feel the force of the remark made to them by Kilburn, ns we have seen in tho onset. An incessant tiring, howpvpr, was kont up on their part until nearsundown. Then they grudunlly retreated; and when the sun had sank behind the western hills, the Bound of the gnus, uud the cry of the wur-wlioop died nwny in silence. How many of the enemy fell on this ocension, no-ver was ascertained. Of the litlle garrison, Peak only was wounded in the hip, hy ex pus ing himself too much before a port-hole ; and for want of surgi cal aid this proved fatal on the sixth day, Tho rrrucli and Indian war continued until lisj; uut the village of Walpole was not afterwards molested in any instance by the enemy. Kilburn united in bis character, all that makes a successful warrior. No man had more of ready foresight and prudence none could be more intrepid and brave. He lived to see his family settled and flourishing, and the fourth generation coining upon tho singe. A lain tinpoli-dicd stone points out the spot in the burying ground of the village, where sleep his mortal remains under this inscription: In memory uf John Kiuirn.N, who departed this life for a better, April fth, I7HII, in the Kith yenr of his nge.

On the subject of removals, the weak, vain old man who fills the Presidential Clnir, has entirely reversed his position, He retains in office no rran who acts upon the prin ciples he avowed -before the tisioua uf an uuhijlow ed ambition Imd corrupted his heart. If an officer squares bis conduct by Unit rule, he is sure to incur the displeasure of the Executive, and to bring down unon his hoid swift vengeance. Jolin Tyler is not to be (Uttered or propitiated by being reminded of bis own prescribed measure of public duty. Nothing now saves the incumbent of office, but "rfire pnrtizniahi" and the nost flagrant prostitution of his official influence to the support of his master's pretensions.

What an outrage is this !

Il is surmised tint more than Ihree Removal of tho Seat of Government. IN MK.NATK FfcBHUAitT 17, ltltli. Mr. I-AiiM, from tlie majority of the standing committee on Public Institutions, to which the subject had been referred, made tiie following REPORT : A majority of tho standing committee on Public Institutions, to whom was referred the memorial of a meeting of citizens of Licking county, relative to a removal of the seat of government of the State from its present locution, now report: That they have given the subject as much consideration as was at this time deemed necessary ; oud, from all tlc information which they have been able lo collect, they have concluded to present, for the cuisi deration of the Senate, a tew facts relative lo the following general proposition, viz: Can the Legislature of the State pa an act removing the seat of government from its present location, without a violation of the faith of the State f They would remark, that they have concluded to confine themselves to a discussion of this general proposition, nt this time, tor the reason, that, should the Senate agree with them in their opinion that the seat of government cannot be removed without a vi olation ot the butli ot the state, tint then it would be unnecessary to go into any further investigation ot the suhiect. II, however, a majority ol the mem bers of the Senate should think dillcrent in regard to this proposition, it would then become necessary, al ter further action had been had on the subject, to present such considerations ns would tend to show that the interests of the peode of the State would not he permanently promoted by making a removal. That a removal of the seat of government of the State, is a subject of deep and abiding interest, not only to the citizens of Columbus, but to the people of the whole Stiite, is u proposition which will not be controverted by any one at all acquainted with the various interests which are intimately connected with tho matter, and which will jiroperly become tlie subjects of discussion, should the Legislature seriously entertain the idea of making a removal; but until the committee, or a majority of it, is siitiefiod by further action, that suHi an idea is seriously entertained, they will content themselves by presenting such facts as are alone connected with the proposition before laid down. With a view of arriving at a correct conclusion in j regard to this proposition, a majority of the committee h ive made a thorough examination of the action of the Legislature of the State, )reviou- to the passage of an act entitled "an act lixing and establishing the permanent and temporary seats of government of the Stale," passed February 1 1, IMA They have undo this examination for the double purpose of enabling them to give a correct construction to the provisions of that act, independent of nil foreign considerations, ami, also, to ascertain if they could, the understanding of all pirUcs interested at tin time d the passage ot the law ; and this t-tr the reason oto river, opposite the town of ''rai.klintop, agreenf bly to trie propositions ol Alessrs. btarlnig, nerr, McLaughlin and Johnson; and that from and after the first day of May next, Lancaster shall be tho temporary seal of government until otherwise direct ed ny law." It may bo well to remark here, that, in all the legislation in regard to this subjoin, subsequent to the adoption of ibis resolution, the word temporary is used, as contradistinguished from the word perma nent, and whenever the tonner word is used, il reters to the temporary seat of government at Lancaster or Clullicothe, ns contradistinguished from the perma nent seat of government, ut the now city ot Columbus.After the odoption of this resolution in the Senate, it was sent to the House for concurrence ; uud was so amended in the House as to provide that Chilli-cothe, instead of Lancaster, should be the temporary seat of government : and it appears from tin; journals that tho "House appointed a coinmitte of three members, to act conjointly with the committee appointed on the part of the Senate, to bring in a bill Ijtiinq the permanent and temporary sea s of govern ment, agreeamo to u resolution 10 imu uneci ; mm a bill was accordingly reported in the Senate on the Hlh of I'Vhniary, I rip', entitled ua btil firing and establishing the permanent and temporary seats of government."If we bear in mind, then, the fact that the resolu tion required that the permanent sent of pu verniiiout should be located at the place where it now is, and the tciiqorary seat ot government ut the town of Chiilicnlhc, and that the permanent one was to be in pursuance of, or agreeably o,tl: propositions of Lytic Starling and others, we cutinoi resist coming to the conclusion that the understanding of ull parties was that the location should be a permanent one, ascon-tra-distingui-heil fnrn tiny Miimher of years; mid that the proposals made were made with tint express understanding, and none other, nnd thatthe Legislature could not vary this understanding and agreement without tiie express assent of those whoso proposal they were about to neeept. And such were undnnlitedly the provisions of the bill, and there would not have been room foruny doubt whatever, in regard to the matter, had it not, on it t fund passage, and in the great haste and anxiety of the Leg islature on the subject, been amended in the second section, by wnv of rvder, by adding thene words to weight will appear from the consideration, that al though, the act, aforesaid, is expressly predicated on the proKsais ol Alexander McLaughlin, Joint Kerr, Lyue Starling and James Johnson, yet by a comparison of these proposals, with tho donations oil bred by Moses tiyxbee and Henry Baldwin, for Delaware and James nilboiirne, and others, lor Worthington, thev will be found less advantageous to the State, and the place estnblishid fot the perma tienl seat of government more remote from the centre of the State, than cither of these last mentioned." ilus is the language of those mum hers ot the legislature who violently opposed the passage of the law, and it appears to a majority of the committee, that this language is as strong as possibly could be used, showing that even the opponents ot the measure were satisfied that the law permanently fixed tlie seat of government at its present location ; and that the w ord permanent w as understood as w ithout limit, and applicable to the location at the now city of Columbus while the word temporary was applicable alone to the seat of government as fixed at Clullicothe, until December of the year JH 17. Uut again, after giving nn outline of tho proposals made by Delaware and Worthington, the protes-l nuts make use of this emphatic language: "The pro)osals accepted by tho legislature wero for expending, on such public buildings ns the legislature shall direct, a sum not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, together with a public square, uud a ten acre lot of laud; and considering the place fired as the permanent seat of government, in consequence of these proposals, ns possessing, iVc. Again, "tnai me ace established by suidact is not as suitable lor the in.rtnantnt seat of government tut others nrojiosed, &c." Again, "hut the undesigned have other reasons of a different complexion, from thusc above offered, lor their dissent lrom the act uhove mentioned, and we do dissent therefrom because there was no pres sing necessity for fixing the permanent sent of govern ment tit tins tune, &c., ami tfiusturoiignouuiie wnoic protest they make use of lungunge equally strong, siioumg, unequivocally, mat u was trie iiuemion oi the legislature to lix and establish, permanently, the seat of government of the State ut the place where it now is. In the face of ull this, could the legislature make a removal, without a manifest violation of the faith of the State, and a direct outrage upon the rights of the citizens of Columbus ? A majority of the cluse uf the section: "and there euiiliuue until the first i!ay of May, eighteen hundred and forty, and from thence until otherwise provided for by law." With this ain'-iidiiient it pissed the Senate, went to the House, and, after divers attempts to amend and defeat the bill, w ithout success, it passed the 1 louse, and became n law. And upon a proper condmction of the provisions of this law, depends the action of the Legislature, so far ns reg irds the general proji-osiliou us to whether the seat of govermm'iit can be removed without a violation of the fiith of the Stiite. The first section of the law is in these words : "He it enacted, c,, that the proposnU made to tins Leg- thousand dollars have been thus collected from offi cers of customs, of which one half it unarrountut for. What says Mr. Tyler to this tampering with the press A. 1'. Jmtricnn. A similar course Ins been pursued in this city. Office holders under government have been severely taxed for the vupport of sundry obscure evening issues, of the existence of which hardly one citizen in ten lias been aware, and then only by h iving gathered so much ot their names ns can lie learned from the bawling boys al tlie corners. There have been several of these fungi, we believe, that li.no been manured info some puffy growth by the Tvlerism of this city, but we would fun think that this is too pore nn atmosphere for toadstools to thrive in. Philadelphia Aoitb tlmeriran. Thr triiiMl Hill. We nre unable to answer the inquiry ns to what bills, passed by the Legislature, have been nullified by the neglect uf the Speakers to sign them, except in one instance that of the bill to a'ltltorire tin construction of a Rail Road from the Penitentiary to the s'.onc quarries. We do not know lint any bill of generul public interest is among the number. Considerable anxiety Ins been fell by our citizens in relation te the above Rail Road, and some ell'orts arc in progress to procure the cou-uumiation id them bills, even now ; but we really do not see bow the omission of the Speakers to p"rforin their duty is lo be remedied. Wbul date w ill acts of the Legislature bear, signed n month after the adjournment? How can tlie Secretary of Slate certify respecting them? Will not the precedent introduce d lng'.'rous and improper practices hereafter? Another curious circnm-itance Ins been the subject of conversation in this city. The legislative reports nnd journals show thai " Win. V. Sanderson" was elected (Quarter M ister General, on Saturday the I Ith in st. Now it turns out that the act which authorised the election of that officer, was not signed i and could not take elf-ct until the Pl'.h, two days af ter.

The first action of the Legislature, which is deem- I 1 necessary to notice, in order lo arrive at a correct cone Itisniu in regard to this suhp et, is the pis-ngo f an act eifitled "an net for living the permanent seat, of government,1' passed by the House ut itep-re.sent itives, on the VI id day id' January, A.

THE IIEUOKH OV WAI.POLB, The first civilized inhabitant of tho present town of Walpole, N. H., was John Kilburn, who settled there in 17-1! I. The largo and fertile meadows nt the mouth of Cold River, in that township, slightly covered with tall butter-nut and ancient elm trees, presented an invited prospect to new colonist?, and an eifcy harvest to the hand of cultivation. Just above them, along the easy bunk of the Connecticut, wus the dehle, bounded uy steep mountains, which formed (he Indian highwuy to and from Charleston, the next township. There, too, w as the head of shad navigation, the great fishing ground of the savages from time immemorial. Next below this narrow pass, by the river, nnd nearer the meadows, is the site of an ancient Indian village, now occupied by a tavern. Next on the south, nnd bounding the meadows uurth-emly, wus Cold River, a small branch of the main stream, overshadowed with tall maples and elms. The meadows themselves were uboul half a mile in extent; the Connecticut on their western side, and a semi-circle of woods on the east, with a central round eminence, forty feet high, from which issues at this day a medical spring. It was here that the adventurous and hardy Kilburn built himself a log-hut, and here he inhabited the solitude of the forest for two years, without any intercourse with friend or foe. During this time, his life was one continued scene of danger and banish ip. 1 Ic sought opjiortuiiities to cultivate the friendship of the Indians, who roamed mid prowled in the woods around him; but in this nttomjithc w as w holly unsuccessful. They avoided him studiously in the day tune, and in the night, he soon found that they approached his humble habitation only for the purjiosu of dealing him the deadly blow. lie was finally obliged, in consequence of . this state of things, to udopt the plan of "rnmpinj out" at different periods in the woods each night, with nothing but the cold earth for his bed, a bear skin for bis covering, nnd u cartridge-box for his pillow. In this manner he continued himself to elude the scalping knives of bis lurking enemies, though they not uufrequeutly visited and plundered hm hut in his absence. In 17oI, Colonel Benjamin Bellows obtained the charter of Walpole, and began a smnll settlement .... - u i ,t.. in- ti... i...;i,iiL- ..r Ihe committee think not ; and believing as they do, (, tmllHi. ubm.t a mile south from the establishment of Kilburn.

Instead of di- vorv clearly indicate this; uud the whole action of the Senate forces us to come to the same conclusion. Such was the understanding, not only by the Legislature but by the people, which is evident, from the fact that whenever nil attempt was made to change the bill to one of a temporary character, from that ot n permanent character, it was invariably defeated, for the reason lint it wis inconsistent with the design of ii majority of the Legisliture, nnd the wishes i the ponple. At the next session of the Logi-datub being thosessiuiiof 1H 1 and 'Pi, the subject was again taken up in the Sen it, as unfinished bininess. and referred to a committee of five members, w ith iiHtruc-tions to receive proposals on the subject nnd report the same to the Senate, and Messrs. Lvaus, Purvi- unce, Toil, Pntchird, and Itureao, were appointed said committee. On the fnih of January, the committee reported to the Senate tint ihey had received proposals tor seven dillerent places, to be the permanent seat of government, one of which was the high bank on the eat side uf the Scioto river, nppo- ito Pnniklnitoii, and jireseuted for tie consideration of the Sen ile extracts from the dillerent proposals, all of whii'h were undo that tho at at of gortrnntnit icon be ptrmnntnUii firtif andnlthiixhid, at ihe place designated ill the respective prop Hals. Tint a majority of the commiltee cannot be mistaken in this view of the nntter, they think is very clour, not only from the language of tlie proposals, but also from tie fact that all proceedings in the premises wore hid in continuation of the proceedings nn th bdl for fixing permanently tlie seat of govern ment of th' State, as in lien rs from h re lore nee to the journals of the Senile. On page ,, of the jourinl tor I-JI and I,', we find the following miry in reference to the repoil nfj the committee, which had bee, previously commuted j to a rouiiniitee of the w hole S -into : "The Senate, according to the order of the day, resolved itself into n coiiitilllleo of the whole Senate, on the report ol the select couimitlee to whom was referred so much of the unlim-died husine.-H as relates l'i a bill entitled "nn art firing pt r maw nVy tin scat of Hovmtnuat and iifi'T some time spent therein, the Speaker resumed the ch nr, and Mr. Caldwell n-portcd tint tlie committee had, according to order, hid sud report under considctulion. made progiess therein, and usked b- ive to sit again.'1 Again, on pige K7. we find the following: "Mr, Kv.un I nd on the clerk's table proposals from inhabitant nf the town of Wortlunntmi, for fixing the pnniant nl seat ut government: which were referred to the coimiiitleo of the whole Senate, to whom wan referred the report of the select committee on the same snbiect."

We publish to-day, the candid and satisfactory re-hirt of the majority of the Committee of ihe Senate on Public Institutions, draw n up by Mr. Lamm, which continns facts and conclusions of imvirtnnce to our city readers, and is not wholly destitute of interest to the body of the people of the State. After the wh ibis section, clearly closes the contract between the Stale and th'e in livuhnls: and that all lint could be required on tlie pirt ofSlarlingand others, was a emu-plrince with Ihe conditions ot the contract, and ll.eir right was perfect as against all the world. And it is understood that the conditions were complied w ith in every particular, to the entire sati.-hirtioii rf the Stiie. The second section of the bill, until uMiPiided by way of ryder, was in these words: "That the seat of government m this State be mid the same is hereby fixed uml permanently eniblish-rd on tin 1 and aforesaid, and the Legislature shall commence their session thereat on the first .Monday of December, A. D., 1.17." liere.then, we perceive tint while the first section provided, us il were, for closing the rout net, the first clime of the second section provided for fixing the location, (HTmaueully, of the seat of government, and the latter clause declare.) when the Legislature should ronum ncc its ses-ioii at tin location lived upon. Thus fir we have from tin' Slate three distinct propositions: lint, we accept th piohnals ; second, we fr and puma-ami !ii tittahlish the seat of gnrrrnmrnt, in compliance with such prH)sals ; and, thud, we spcci'y the tune at which the Legislature shall commence itss simH at the place thus fixed iin.j. If, th-m, we add the amendment by wuy uf ryder, and how far does it chanL'e the feature of the law, and which id' the three iroisiiions does it affect ? It could certainly not have been intended to qualify the first and second propositions; for, if so, it would have been in violation of Ihe ciihltuct us entered into between the contracting parties, nnd which was previoii-ly fully complied Willi on the part of the doiiors.nml, consequently, cniild not be varied on the part of ihe Slate, without ihe assent ot the other party. Ihe clause, then, must hue been intended to apply only l the session of Ihe Legislature, and ntih il receives thm retisiiuction ihe law is inconsi-tent nod absurd upon its face, lint ndminitig that this amendment was lidded wilh a Mvw of changing the provismus of the law, slill it would be considered a nullity, and should be treated ns such, for the reason that it was in direct contravention of the contract prcvioiislj closed netwreti the parties, and the renditions of it fully complied with on the part of Starling mid others, nnd therefore all rendu hih nnd limitaimtis winch were subseqin nil y ndJJPBBB ..inding "n the oiHHite party; nnd -o'lnd tho Legislature nttempt lo enforce them without the assent of the donors, it would, to say the least of it, operate ns n forfeiture uf the cont met on the part of the Slate, and yive to tho donor a right to the property they gave. majority of the coumulter are, then fen, clearly of opinion li.nl tdioiild the Legi-latuie p-iss a law ie-moiiiig the neat uf government from Columbus, it would be a violation of the contract between Starling and other, on the one side, and the State on the other, and such a furfcilure of the taiih uf the State as would certainly not be justified by any code of nior.iN with which a majority of the couuniltee nre acquainted.

Very considerable interest has been excited among the planters of Indian corn at ti discovery recently made of extracting sugar from the common corn. The Commissioner of Patents, Mr. II. U Lllsworih, m his last report to Congress, gives a very full nnd interesting account of this discovery, and the mode of extracting the sugar. According to Mr. Lils-worth, the corn stalk yields more sugar, in proportion to weight of material, than sugar cane and thatthe quality of the hi gar and molasses is ln'tter. Lx- peritueuts s'llih icutly have not us yet, perhaps, been made lo estuhli-di the cost of making the corn sugar, i and n hether il can be produced at an expanse winch will ju-tify our furtuers diiectiug their attention to , the in liter. Hut now tint the fact is beginning to j engie'it attention, we shall not long bo in doubt nn ; this subject. If il should prove, upoiisulhcicnttrinl, and as the report of .Mr. Lllsworih lends to the belief it will that the sugar from corn can be made ;is cheaply ns ihe sug ir from u;'o, it will soon become mi important business of our fanner.', nnd lead to an important revolution in the trade of the world. The follov.ing is an abstract of ihe report of Mr. KllMvorth on this subject: AM accounts concur in representing the juice of this plant, when it Ins been grown with Morencc to the ini-rea-M of its sachannc matter, ns some V.0 per cent, richer than tint of cane, grow ing in Louisiana. It has many other advantages over that plant in the i production of sugar. Cane is only propagated by , luyers, nnd it takes the entire crop of one acre to plant three. hie acre of of good corn will plant a hundred. The machinery for crushing cane and expressing its juice costs at least three times as mikdi iiwthat required to perforin the same operation on corn st ilks. The proves of evaporation of ninize juice is very similar to that used in making sugar t'rJKi rane. After having "elected good seed corn it should be planted with a drilling machine in rows two feet and a half' a part, nnd il' prictie-ihlc from north to South. A kernel of corn should b dropped every two or three inches in each row. The after-culture is done with a horse-hoe. The next operation is taking off th" embryo ears. Many stalks will not produce any, but whenever they appear they must be -removed. This should be done just before the formation of the kernel, nnd after tho silk is visible on the ear. Before the frost comes, nnd after the stalks are matured, they should be topped and bladed, and then cut up and taken to the mill and ground immediately. 1 he null is coiitnu-ted something niter the fashion of those used for crushing apple in the manufacture of cnler. Or what is better, one made of three cast iron rollers lying horizontal, nnd so urrunged that ihe stalk passes twice between lb'm. The juice after coming from the mill should stand only a few minutes to denisil some of its coarse impurities, when u must be utrnmed through a flannel cloth in order to separate ich mntters ns will not pass through it. Lime water in then added in the proportion of two sooni full to n gallon, lo neutralize any acidity that there may be in the juice. If the acidity by any tuenits becomes considerable, a siillicient quantity of the carbonate of soda must be added to correct it. The evaporation should not be delayed, but must be performed rapidly in large pins made for the pur-po"e.Tlie juice should be carefully skimmed before ebul- i;ioi commences, time a tort also on the neighboring tovvnship of .Vun- i ber-Four now called Charleston. These additions to ihe ower of ihe Whites in this quarter hnd an essential inllu'Mico upon the respect mid the fear felt for them by the Indians; nor was il long before a company of tho latter descended the river in their cnuoes, landed above the falls, uml invited their old acquaintance, Kilburn, to trade with them. He accepted their invitation without scruple or hesitancy, visited their encampment, bought furs of them, and mad'! them presents of flints, (lour and fish-hooks. From this time they continued to hunt, fish and lodge occu-d dually in tho neighborhood. The report of their guns, with w loch the w bites bad furnished them : long ere this, and the smoke of their low wigwams ! among the trees became mingled with the familiar occurrences ot daily life. The atlairs of the settler continued to prosper until I7."i:t, w hen the first alarming incident occurred to disturb their security. Two men, by the names of Twrfrhell and Find, who had gone back to the hills, about a mile east of the Holllement to procure some ash timber for oars, were fired upon and killed by the Indians. ne of them was scalped. The other they barbarously cut open, took nut his heart yet warm, laid it upon his breast, nnd thus left him to be found by Ins friends. This massnerc was among tho first appearances of a rupture of the negotiations for peace pending between Kngland and France, nnd was the commencement of a new and long series of Indian ravages. It was, uior. jver, the first christian blood which was spilt in Walpole; and the impression it produced upon the minds of the settlers was propor-tionably deep and lasting. The bodies of the mur dered men w ere mined near where they were tonnd, in a spot still indicnted by a ridge of land, on tho west side of ihe road about two miles north of Walpole village. It was believed by the friends of Tw itchcll at least by some of the number tint bis guardian sjiirit continued, as long ns his savnge murderers lived, to hover over them, by night and by day, and to warn them of tho wiles of the Indians. Kven a rock in the Connecticut river, where he ued to fish with never-failing success, was for a long time held in religion veneration; and few, it is nimored of all those who to tins day go to angle from "Tw itch ell Rock,' return without taking from tlie stream a generous fry. In the spring of 17(15, an Indian by tho name of Philip, who had just h irno Knglis' enough to be understood, visiud Kilburn's log-house, under pretence of being niton a hunting excursion ahd in want of provisions. He w-as treated w ith kindness, and furnished liberally with Hints, meal, and various other articles which be asked for. Soon after his de- l part ure, it was ascertained that the snme Indian had visited all (he settlements on Connecticut river about the same time, nnd with the same plausible story. I ne condition was, wan Minnrn nnd his tellow settlers, tint Philip was a scout employed by the enemy. This suspicion was soon after confirmed by intelligence received nt nil the forts on the frontier, through u triendly Indian, from Governor Shirley at Albany. He stated that tour or five hundred of tho Savagei were collected in Canada, whoso object it was to butcher the w hole white population on Connecticut river. Tho settlers and thor of Wnlpnle among the number were startled by these tidings; but they were not dishenrtened. They valued their hard-earned harvests and their solitary homos in the wilderness, humble ns they were, too high to leave them from the mere apprehension nf danger. They bad been accustomed, too, lo nil the hardships of a rude life ; and long had they looked for the time to come, ns it came now, when they must defend themselves or die in the cause. Kilbtnn nnd his comrades now fortified their hnbi daunted by this performance, however; and he even managed to get the first tire, before the smoke of the enemies' gnus obstructed bis aim. He was confident that this discharge Drought down an inuian, wno, from his extraordinary size, and from other circumstances, appeared to bo Phillip. A moment after, the companions of the fallen savnge now mustered in full force rushed fiercely forward to the work of destruction ; nnd probably not fewer than four hundred bullets were lodged in Kilburn's house at tho first fire. The roof, especially, was made a perfect "riddle sieve." This leaden shower was kept up for some time, with nn incessant blaze and clamor, while detachments of the enemy were amusing themselves with butchering the stray cattle, and destroying tho hay nnd grain in the surrounding meadow. Kilburn uud his men, meanwhile, wero by no means idle. Their powder was already poured into hats for the convenience of loading in a hurry, and every thing prepared for a spirited defence or a glorious death. They bud several guns in the house, all of which were kept hot by incessant firing through the port-holes; and as they had no ammunition to spare, each one took special aim, to have every bullet tell. The women assisted in loading the guns. When the stock of lead grew sennty, they had also the presence of mind to suspend blankets horizontally near the roof of the house, inside, to cutch the enemy's balls. These they immediately run into new bullets, it necessary, w hue the men took it upon themselves to have them returned to the savages with interest. Tlie latter made several attempts to hurst open tho doors of the house, but tho tire of the brave little garrison was too hot lor them. Most of tho tune, therefore, they endeavored to keep behind stuuqis, logs, and trees, evidently showing, by this management, that they began to feel the force of the remark made to them by Kilburn, ns we have seen in tho onset. An incessant tiring, howpvpr, was kont up on their part until nearsundown. Then they grudunlly retreated; and when the sun had sank behind the western hills, the Bound of the gnus, uud the cry of the wur-wlioop died nwny in silence. How many of the enemy fell on this ocension, no-ver was ascertained. Of the litlle garrison, Peak only was wounded in the hip, hy ex pus ing himself too much before a port-hole ; and for want of surgi cal aid this proved fatal on the sixth day, Tho rrrucli and Indian war continued until lisj; uut the village of Walpole was not afterwards molested in any instance by the enemy. Kilburn united in bis character, all that makes a successful warrior. No man had more of ready foresight and prudence none could be more intrepid and brave. He lived to see his family settled and flourishing, and the fourth generation coining upon tho singe. A lain tinpoli-dicd stone points out the spot in the burying ground of the village, where sleep his mortal remains under this inscription: In memory uf John Kiuirn.N, who departed this life for a better, April fth, I7HII, in the Kith yenr of his nge.
