Riciiaiit, Esq., Pittston Gazette. surprised and capturcd the garrison and fort, seized a king's sloop, destroyed fivo battcaux, and placing valuable plunder on four others, sailed away for Crown Point. The British Govcrndf of Canada made immediate preparations to drive back the invaders and retake the forts. Arnold summoned his maritimd experience to his aid, and prepared a flotilla to meet the foe, constituting himself admiral of the embryo fleet. lie had one hundred and fifty  with several field-pieces and swivels. lie had sent agents to Montreal and other places in Canada, and obtained such information ns seemed to warrant him in writing to the Continental Congress, expressing his conviction that with two thousand men ho could easily capturo Canada. But the Congress, alarmed by what had already been done in the way of aggression in that quarter, would not listen to his proposals. Many complaints against Arnold having gone from the lake to the Massachusetts authorities, an investigating committee was sent to Clown l'oint. They found Arnold busily engaged in preparations for the campaign, as admiral of the fleet and commandor-iu-chief of the land forces at the fort. When they explained the object of their errand he manifested the hottest indignation. When lie became calm he offered his resignation, discharged his men, and set out for Cambridge, breathing execrations against those who had ill-treated him. Washington was now in command of the Continental army at Cambridge. The Congress had resolved to send an invading ar-* my into Canada by way of Lake Champlain, and Washington had conceived the plan of sending a co-operating force across the wilderness of the Kennebec and Chaudicrc to Quebec. The enterprise was bold, and its execution would be perilous. The commandcr-in-chicf had confidence in Arnold, and he appointed him to the command of the expedition. The irritated soldier was delighted, and with eleven hundred effective men he left Port Western, opposite Augusta, on the Kenfiebcc, late in September, and penetrated the gloomy, uninhabited wilderness. The history of the movements of that expedition, from this point to the French settlements near the St. Lawrence, is one of the most wonderful on record. For thirty-two days they traversed tho wilderness, through marshes, over cliffs, among tangled thickets, up and down rapid livers, and through snow, ice, and mud. Their sufferings were terrible, and their cnduranco wonderful. At length they reached the French settlements, when, after enjoying food, warmth and repose, Arnold led them, in the face of a severe snow storm, to Point Levi, opposite Quebec. There they appeared early in November, to the great terror of many of the inhabitants of Quebec. They seemed to have dropped from the clouds. After a little delay, Arnold crossed the St. Lawrence, ascended to the Plains of Abraham, where Wolfe fell sixteen years before, and menaced the city. Finally, with foolish pomp, he demanded an immediate surrender of tho town and garrison, and threatened tho veteran M'Lean with terrible disaster in the event of his refusal. Just then ho heard that Governor Carleton, with a considerable force, who had fled from Montreal on the approach of tho Americans under General Montgomery, was hastening to Qucbcc. A friend in the city had also iuformed him ot an intended sortie to drive him off. Advised by prudence, lie raised the siege, and took post at Point aux Trembles, twenty miles up the river, to await tha arrival of Montgomery. They joined forces on the first of December. Montgomery assumed chief command and all pushed forward to Quebcc. For three weeks the little army besieged the Canadian capital, and then, in two divisions, attempted to carry tho plriCe by storm. Montgomery led one division by way of the St. Lawrence, and Arnold led the other by way of the St. Charles.— Both parties were moving at dafrn on the morning of the 31st of December, in the face of a blinding snow storm. Montgomery was killed at tho foot of Cape Diamond, and Arnold, while at the head of his troops urging forward a cahnon itl the deep snow, to attack an obstructing battery, was severely wounded in the knee, and carried to tho general hospital. Most of the troops were speedily capturcd, aud the sicgo and assault were abandoned. The command no\V devolved upon Arnold, who was soon afterward commissioned Brigadier-General. Ho could muster only about eighty effectivo men. With these he formed a camp thrco miles from the city, and established a land blockade, hoping thereby to starve tho garrison and citiaens into a surrender. lie failed. Finally, on the first of April, General Wooster arrived from Montreal with reinforcements and took chief command. Preparations wcro made to renew the but these were abandoned. The disabled Arnold (whose wounded leg had been much injured by the falling of his horse upon it) asked leave of absence, and retired to Montreal, where he became military governor. He was glad to escapc from the incompetent Wooster. Montreal had caused him to be charged with pdculation. Of this he never purged himself fully; and in these charges was the commencement of his future degradation.Preparations were now mode to oppose counter-invasion from Canada.. Arnold fitted oat a little squadron bearing an aggregate armament of fifty-one guns. It consisted of three schooners, two sloops, three galleys, eight gondolas, and twenty-one gunboats'. Early off tftc morning of the 11th of October (1776) he saw the British squadron sweeping around Cumberland Head. He was near Valcour Island, not far above Plattibargh. and there awaited the enemy. The eonncct commenced at noon. Arnold was on the Congress galley, and pointed almost every gun himself.— The battle became general at one o'clock, and the Congress suffered severely. She was hulled twelve times, received seven shots between wind and Watei1, had the main mait shattered in two places, and the rigging cut in picces. The desperate conflict lasted five hours, and only ceased when night fell upon the scene. Arnold's vessels were dreadfully shattered; and during the intense darkness of the en4fring night, favored by a fair wind, he passed the enemy, and fled toward Crown Point. The British gave chase, and overtook him on tho 13th, when another desperaie contest occurred. For four hours tho wholo force of the attack fell on the Congress galley that bore Arnold. When' she was reduced almost to a wreck, ho gave orders to run her ashore, with four gondolas, and set them on fire, while the marines, bearing their arms aloft, should wado to the beach, and from the bank keep tho enemy at bay until the whole flotilla should be consumed. Arnold was the last to leave the flaming galley. lie let himself into the water by a rope, joined his men on shore, and kept his position until his little squadron disappeared. He then marched to Crown Point, ten miles distant. For these exploits Arnold received the hearty applause of the whole country. The British went back to winter-quarters in Canada, and many of the troops at Ticonderoga marched to Join the army of Washington that fled from the Hudson through New Jersey to the Delaware. Arnold accompanicd them. He reached head-quarters a wCek before the battle of Trenton, and was immediately sent to join General Spencer at Providence, Rhode Island, to rally the New England militia, and watch tho British, then in possession of Newport. He remained there all winter ; and during that time suffered an indignity which was keenly ffelt by his sensitive nature, thirsting for military glory. Congress passed him by in the appointment of five major gencralsi He had been made a brigadier at and he felt that his subsequent exploits entitled him to promotion. Arnold accused his cotihtrymen of ingratitude. Washington Was mortified by the neglect of the brave soldier, and wrote him a soothing lfctter. The wounded hero was calmed but not pacified. " It is a very civil way," he said, " of requesting my resignation as unqualified for the offico I hold." Ho finally determined to visit head-quarters and ask permission to visit Congress in person and demand an investigation Of his condtict. While in Connecticut, on his way, Governor Tryon invaded that State and burned Danbury. Generals Silliman and Woostei rallied the militia to repel the invasion. Arnold joined them, and placed himself at the head of five hundred men. A stand was made at Ridgefield, and the Americans wcro obliged to retreat. Arnold's horse was shot dead under him, and he escaped on foot to a neighboring swamp. His flight was short. He soon rallied his men, and hung on the flank and rear of the fehetay in his retreat to his ships at Compo. There, in a skirmish, his second horse was shot through the neck. On all occasions, during the two days, he was conspicuous in every post of danger, and won for himself the admiration of hia countryman. Congress immediately promoted Arnold to major-general, but left him in rank, by the daio of his commissson, below the five major-getierals recently appointed. He felt the neglect keenly, and demanded of Congress an investigation of his conduct. By this he soota discovered that his inherent defects Of Character, and the unfavor* able impressions he had made at Crown Point and Montreal, stood in the way of his cordial promotion. His account*, examined by a committee, of Congress at this time, also gave presumptive evidence of his dishonesty. Now was planted in his bosom the thorn that rankled until the foul fester of treason was produced. Arnold was appointed to the command of tho army in the vicinity of Philadelphia, charged with the duty of watching the movements of General Howe, then in New Jersey, and to oppose his passage of the Delaware. The duties of his position were faithfully performed by Arnold, and With his aocustomod energy. Meanwhile he re iterated his demands upon Congress fortho promotion of his rank. They paid no attention to his appeals. At length, incensed by their indifference, he offered hia resignation, deolaring that ho had been driven to that step by injustice ; that he loved his country as well as any living mm ; and addiug—" Honor is a sacrifice no man ought to make ; as I received it, so I wish to transmit it to posterity." Intelligence now rcaohed Congress of the invasion of the Northern frontier by ft largo force under Lieutenant General Burgoyne ; and on the same day when Arnold'* resignation was laid before the Congress they received a letter from Washington, recommending that General Arnold should be immediately sent to the northern army.

Plttston, June 11,186# —A WD— In a plain, gambril-roofcd, two-storied house, about halt way from Norwich City to the upper town, between theYanticand Shetueket, Benedict Arnold was born on the 3d of January, 1740. Ilia father was a man of " suspic'o's integrity, little resptcted, and less esteemed." His mother was tho reverse of this—a patient, pious, excellent woman, beloved by all who know her. Benedict was their only son. He early exhibited signs of superior genius, accompanied by traits of character that prophesied of a cloudy future. He was wilful, irritable, cruel, and reckless. At the age of sixteen years, he clandestinely enlisted in tho British army, but was released and taken home, lie soon after ran away and re-enlisted : and not long afterward was subjected to the discipline and labor of garrison duty at Ticonderoga.— He disliked both, deserted, returned home, and was apprenticed to the brothers Latham, druggists at Norwich, and his mother's kinsmen, lie gave them a world of trouble ; yet, because of his kinship, they afforded him pecuniary aid in establishing himself in business in New Haven. His mother died broken-hearted because of her husband's debasement and her son's unpromising career, before he arrived at manhood. lie and his sweet sister Hannah wcro soon the solo survivors of the family.

Arnold was a druggist and bookseller in New Haven several years. Fond of military life, he raised and commanded a company culled the Governor's Guards. IIo was still in command when intelligence came of the skirmishes at Lexington and Concord. The bells of New Ilavcn were rung, and the people crowded to the green or public square. Arnold addressed them, called for volunteers, appointed a place of rendezvous that aitornoon, and there found himself at the head of sixty men, chiefly of his own company, with a few students in Yale College, ready to march to Cambridge, where an army was gathered to besiege the British in Boston. The cautious Sclcctmcn refused to furnish them with powder without tho sanction of higher authority. There was no time to be lost.— Arnold sneered at such scruples in times of public danger, and threatened to break open the magazine and take the powder without leave. Tho authorities yielded, and the next morning Arnold with his volunteers was on his way to Boston. A scheme for seizing Fort Ticondcroga, on Lako Champlain, had been secretly planned at Hartford. Arnold had doubtless heard of it, for on his arrival at Cambridge he laid beforo the Committee of Safety a proposition to lead an expedition against the lake fortresses. It was eagerly approved. Arnold was commissioned a Colonel in the Massachusetts service, and authorized to raise not more than four hundred men in the western part of the province for the expedition. Full of enthusiasm, he proceeded to Stockbridgc.— There he was deeply chagrined by the fact that a similar expedition was on foot, composed of a few Connecticut and Massachusetts men, and quite a large number of Green Mountain boys, under the command of Colonel Ethan Allen. They were on their march for Lake Champlain. Arnold overtook them at Castleton, and with insolent assurance assumed to bo the Commander-in-chief by virtuo of his commission.— " Wc will follow no other leader than our own," said tho Green Mountain boys. Arnold yielded as gracefully as his ambition would allow, and joined tho expedition as a volunteer. Early on the following morning (18th May, 1775,) Allen and his followers entered Ticondcroga as victors, demanding the surrender of the fortress in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress. Cdlonel Seth Warner pushed on and captured Crown Point two days afterward. At Ticondcroga Arnold again claimed chief command, with tho same result. IIo bought cousolation in his disappointment by sending to the Massachusetts authorities a protest and a list of alleged grievances. IIo could not be idle ; and while contemplating what next to do, he was joined by about fifty men recruited by his order, who brought with them a schooner they had seized at SkcncsboroUgh, now Whitehall, at tho foot ef the lako.
