SOL PECK. TUE    SMUGGLER   OF    LAKE   ONTARIO.
Perhaps in no part of our couutry, prevL
ous to lbe war ofl S12, was contraband trade so generaUj (jrirried on, as in tbe lalce Slates of the North. Thecause of this de¬ generacy is not to be sought in tbe weaker virtue of higher  latitudes, or the greater
the rongh table at which their leader presi^a, so intent are they upon Uis words and move¬ ments. The timea require their deliberation. So fierce bad been the onalaaght of tbe rev¬ anue offices that no smuggling oraft now played over the lake, and many a friend and acqnaintance of theirs bad dangled from the •ross-trees In expiation of guilt similar to theirs. A division of sentiment was iu tbe conncil chamber.. Some professed them¬ selves weary of the life they led ; some were satisfied witb their present gaius, by no means inconsiderable; some thought the law's oi&cers too stong for them, and advised reti¬ riug for a season ; aud some, the fewest but hardiest, proposed one grand final expeditiout that would close their smuggling life. Sol heard each aud every opiniou with complai¬ sance, and then rose from bis seat, toweriug a full head above bis followers.
" Men," said he, " we have laid on our oars now two months ; the teas in onr vaults grow damp and fnll of mold. At the cave beyoud tbe lake have good;; beeu stored an equal time, waiting for ua to take them away.—• The cbauctt of booty ia greater than ever be¬ fore. Shall our cowardice keep aa from seiz¬ ing it ? If our friends bave swung from yard- arms, sball we fear their fate, or shall we revenge their deaths ?" He unsheathed the long blade tbat huug iu hia girdle. Tbe men were silent, watchiug bis movements. He waved the flashing weapon over his head-
" Men, I go to seize those goods ; with half yournumber I can taka tbem, but tbe man that refuses to follow me Sol Peck brinds aa a coward ;" and be drove bis knife into the table before bim. Iu un instaut every man had plauted bis own beside it, aud loud cries and yells proclaimed the power of their cap¬ tain's eloquence. All demanded inataut de¬ parture, tbose tbat bad given timorous couu¬ sel uow thp loudest in urging on tbe foray, j the brave braver uow in their leader's sym- 1 pathy. The captain now led fortb bis hand, I marshaling tbeiu along the winding patb to I the bayou. A long, slender craft lay at the foot of the hill, but now waked from its sleep, and rocked to-and fro uuder the hurry¬ ing tramp of tbe smugglers. Each man was instautly at. bis post. Some manned the rig¬ ging ; some cleaned the deck ; some polished anew a long nine-pounder that was pivoted on tbe stem, while otbers busied tbemselves in bringing teas aud amuuitiou from tbe oas- tle. All was life and activity, and tbe eve¬ ning sileuce was broken by the uninterrupted bustle on ship-board. Sol Peck was every¬ where, working and superintending, carefully examiuing iuto every part of bis clipper.— He was au experienced smngcler, aud from his youth had loved danger for his own sake. With his single strength be bad joined in many an ludian fray against daugerous odds; but such was tbe Hon-beart of the man, such
temptations to wbicb that virtue was sub- the migbt of bis arm, that he had passed un- jeoted, but was simpley owiug to tbe loose ; scathed through all.A And yet, withiu hia conditiou of the Custom House laws, their j rough exterior dwelt a gentleness that conld careless enforcement, and the profitable na¬ ture of the busiupas.

And

No monarch dealt half so justly with bis subjects as Sol with his, meeting out with no stinted hand his sbare to eacb, bestowing of bis own freely upon the most deserving, when the profits of the former quadrupeled Locksley dispensed not more even justice; tbose of the latter, it became ouly a matter Richard had uot more tbe heart of a lion.— of speculation; and dauger, they considered But now the shadows deepened throngh the au abundant and useful capital ou which to wood ; tbe evening Jium of iu.sect died away; bnild their fortunes.

Bnt it now became evident that this golden harvest was nearly gatbomd. la the spring of the folluwing year, an act passed the Colonial Legislature, making smuggling piracy, and its punishment certain deatb.   Also, to show
cargo, and band over tbe return one, the shores now gave no evideuce of a bnman be¬ ing. All was quiet as death, and only tbe rippling of the waves upon the beach greeted the ear. With balf dozen trusty men Sol sprang into bis long-boat, ^d pulled for shore. Landing, and securing it, he ascended the bauk. Slowly leading his men, he came to an old ruin, tbat hnd once served for tbe cel¬ lar of a house, now crambled aud fallen over it.

The bouse is Peck castle, and the miniature lake ifl Sol Peck's harbor.   Sol Peck, tbe   outlaw, tha marauder, the most desperate smuggler, and at the time of oar story, the only smug¬ gler on Lake Ontario; Sol Peok, rough in as pect, terrible in strength, violent in passion on whose valuable head the Canadian author¬ ities have thoaght proper to set a price !— And that low-browed house on the hill, with its dark, weather-stained doors and  stone parapets, is his castle, the store-houae   for his goods and ammunition, the head-quarters for bia followers, the aecret chamber where Hs plana are concocted, and whence his  ex¬ peditious go forth.

"Spy¬ ing points, located by government, were light¬ ed up, andthe sentinels started forth to view tbe strange illumination. Below, the lake was as burnished gold, sending tbe lurid glare far np into the dark night. Sol aud his men like crazed inebriates, danced round the burning mass, and reut the air with their infuriate shouts. The men hurried to unload the boat aud sboot back to him. But their fury baving subsided, Sol and b,is man began Vo retire from tbe fire to the beach. But no sooner had they reached it thau the effect of, Iheir folly was mauifest, for au officer, 'with fonr mon, bade him stand. So sudden was their appearauce before bim, that he thonght his own boat's crew were playing him a joke. But in a loader voice, the officer called on his men to advance, and to Sol to surrender, or he'd fire. A hurried whisper to bis mau was the only reply, and they began to slowly retreat, their eyes fastened on the soldiers. Tben, with a rapidity of lightning, Sol andhis man.drew tbeir pistols aud fired. Two ofthe soldiers fell, and at the same moment their executioners fell, while a volley from the offi¬ cers and meu rolled over tbeir heads. Then, springing to their feet, with drawn knives, they ruahed upon the enemy. The strnggle was obstinate. They were met with courage and the ground was desperately contested,

Springing forward to meet them as tbey came, with one blow of his belt-knife be nearly aeveied tbe bead of the captain from his body. Theu catching upon biii arm a crashfng blow from oue of tbe soldiera, be drovo hisfatalknifeuplo tho biit in his neck. The other, paralyzed with fnar, dropped bis musket, and fell ou bis kuees.
*' Pick up tbat mau," cried Sol, *' aud for¬ ward."
He marched his prisouer, carrying his wonnded companion, aud tbey wore received into tbe boat, and tbe men pulled rapidly for their vessel. It was high time, for iu the fa¬ ding glare of tbe fire conld be seen the nu¬ merous forms flitting to-aud-fro, called fortb by tbe unusual oonfiagration. And the men on the olipper saw a large croivd gather at one spot near tbe beaoh, aud beard the oriea of vengeance that came to them over the wa¬ ter. It was the spot of the bloody fray.
" Now, boys, the devil will be to pay. On for your precious lives. 'Twill be a long time before they'll forgel the night Sol Peck retired from business. Ah! what a quantity of ble.s.sed liquor I bad to bum for fear they'd find it!" And tbe desperate man coolly dried his still dripping blade upon his sleeve, and retumed it to ita sheath, while a savage glow played over bis features.
" Shipmate, said one to another," the cap'n didn't burn all tbat liquor."
Bat tbe leader was uot drunk. It was tbe tiger's passion, maddened with blood, aud the meu in sileuce questioned not bis motives, bnt beld the clipper before the wind. Tbe time lost in this foolish daring was precious, and they were not five miles frora shore of tbe Canadas when day dawned. Day dawned, aud the guilty craft lay expo.^ed upon tbe claar surface of the water. TLe men were alarmed at their situation, tbus visible to every ves" sel tbat plied upon the lake, and cursed tbeir captain's insane folly, aud their own in haz¬ arding a last venture. Nor were their alarms groundless, for far to tbe westward a small speck was visible to the eye ofthe helmsman and as tho captain watched it intently witb his glass, the men became restless. He clo¬ sed his instrument in a fow moments, and tnrniug to tbem, merely said:
" We are chaded, and must make a ruu for it."
Every sail waa spread, the breeze fresh, aud tbe little clipper leaped over the waves. Sol atrode up aud dowu the deck moodily, and felt some inward compunctious for baving drawu his meu iuto this difliculty, espeoially as by his own hardihood he had sbed tbe blood of tbe officer and meu. But he did not indulge long in this mood. Otber and more pressing cares^ possessed him. To his dis¬ may he saw bis pursuer gaiued ou him, and sweeping the lake wilh the glass, aaw she was a large sailiug brig, double bis own iu size witb every advantage of canvass. Still be did not despair. Tbe man held the helm witb a firm grasp ; the steru chaser was wheeled into positiou, double loaded with grape, and Sol coutinued striding npand down the deck* his brow gloomier tban ever. Saddenly a splash was heard iu tho water, uot a handred foet from bim, and a beavy boom rolled over tbe water. On weut the chase, aud nearer came the pursuer. Another sbot strack the water twenty feet in hia wake. He held the clipper before the wiud , and his ligbt masts bent double under the strain of canvas.— Then a shot aoross the clipper's bows, aud raisiug hla glasa, he saw tbe enemy veering bia ship's bead, and lying in position to give him abroad-side, and at tbe same moment oame booming over the water tbe ominous words,
" Haul to, or I'll sink you.'' Sol was about to taok also, and get his ship withoat tbo rauge of tbe enemy's cans, whe^ to tbe chagrin of all a calm ouesued. The sails hung like wet rags from the yard-arms, aud the fated clipper lay at the meroy of its pnr- auer. The crew looked from oue to the oth¬ er iu despair. Again the warning order, like the sentence of the doomsman, fell on their ear, " Haul to, or I'll sink you," and tbey could see the enemy's guus run out tbe port¬ holes. Amid tbe general gloom Sol Peck's countenance brightened, aud his eye flashed a clearer, brighter fire. Calmly be ordered the flag to be lowered, aud when the groans ofthe crew greeted the bunting as it lay on the ^eck, he as calmly ran up a white flag to the mast head,
" My men," said he, almost mildly," I have drawn you into this scrape, but there never was one that Sol Peck could not get out of. Do you only trust to your captain."
Tbis harangue was received iu silence by all, and wheu Ibey saw a boat lowered from tbe side of tbe enemy's brig, a loud murmur arose, and eight orten rushed for the long¬ boat, to exchange tho desperate chance for life for certaiu deatb. But in a moment tbe quiet demeanor of tbe captaiu changed, aud darkness swept over his featurea. With one bound he was before Ibem, and seizing tbe ringleader, be baried him bodily across the deck, and with a thundering oatb, ordered them to their places, vowing he would kill the first man that dared leave the vessel. The men shrank cowering before bis flashing eye, and sullenly fell back to tbe fore-castle.
" I'm yonr captain," thundered he," aud lhe mau who dares break orders again shall have a quicker deatb tbau be looks for."
Consternation was in every faoe, aud noth¬ ing but the habitual deference lo bim kept his meu from tbrowing him overboard, for tbey, in their moody minds, now fancied be was about proving treacherous. Murmurs, now aud then, would break from the men, as they slood huddled togetber like catlle, await¬ ing sacrifice; but tbe savage glance of tbe captain restrained every raan. Now tbe gun¬ ner, a favorite of Sol's, came up to him,
" Captain, let me fire one shot iuto that boat.   I guess we can whip the rest."
" Yes," was Sol's reply, and you and our ship be blowu to the devil tbo next minute. Go, mind your business," and the favorite sulkily retired to bis post. On came the brig's boat, impelled by the lusty oars of six marines. It soou ran alongside, aud Sol Peok, with bis own hand, threw down rope ladders to assist its lieutenant and his men on board. In tbe meantime tbe guns of the brig kept the smuggler craft under cover, should there arise any necessity for tbeir use. When the officer and six marines sloo.d on deck, Sot approached,
" I know it^a all over with me," he said ; " I aud mine are your priaoners. You know me aud my basineaa; I submit to necesaity," and he ofiered to disarm his raen, and to sub¬ mit to be hound, whioh be knew well his men would not allow, while the officer, satisfied witb the offer, and fearing at present to put it iu execution, was gracious enoagh to per¬ mit tbe captain and craw to retain their arma, etc., unlil a breeze springing up, he oould de- iver them over to the brig, to await the oonrae of the law. Gratetul for this privilege, ao generously given, Sol oould not be sufficiently profuse in his atteution to bis unweloome guests. That tbe time migbt pass morecbeer- ily, as they waited for a breeze, be ordered a collation to be served up for them, uncorked his best liquora, and went so far as to drink bis Majesty's health. The lieutenant was pleased with the free jollity oflbe man, joked witb him, and in return for his good cheer promised to intercede in hia behalf. How the crew cursed hia craven heartedness, and longed to pitch him and hia company over¬ board. Some of them were satisfied that it was a proconcertrated arrangement to deliver them up, and that then Sol Peck conld re¬ ceive pardon, and he laken into the colonial service. But the gunner swore he had yet to see the mau tbat could make an agree¬ ment at any oue time. Tho momenta passed beavily ou, tbe crew growing more desperate, aud the lieutenant and marines, with Sol
Atlength a Mow from the bntt of a mnaket I Rowing merrier over their liquor and rich
harvest of prize money.   At length tbe saila ' flapped to-and-fro, and swelled' nut in spas- [ modio puffs, and Sol, tuming to the officer, ' told bim tbe ahip was his.   He instantly gave ! orders  for  reversing   the   vessel's   previoua course witb tbe design of takiug ber under tbe immediate convoy of tbe brig.    Bnt tbe belemau stfeming to hesitate, Sol strode rapid-. ly forward, giving bts men a meaning glanco \ a.H he passed, and under pretense of adminis- i tering reproof, thrust a paper inhis boaom.— , The man turning to the wheel, glanced it tbe writing—" Walcb your captaiu,"—aud pro¬ ceed deliberately to   obey.     Sol bad now joined the lieutenant, who was   standing by tbe opeu hatchway, dowu whioh two of tbe marines bad gone for grog.
" Would yqu like lower accommodation?'* aaid Sol quickly to bim.
"What do you mean f" aaked the other, nervously,
" Only first floor rooms," criedSol, fiercely as, with a sudden blow upon tbe chest, be knocked him tbrough the opening, when, slamming to the door he stood npon it. Hia men bad reoeived tbe pass-word, and before they conld make any resiatance, or give the least alarm, tbe half intoxioated marines wore disarmed, thrown upon deok, and bound.
'* Now, my labs, we are only half safe ; quietly and slowly, my lads,' and under the freshening breeze the clipper waa brought withont gau-ahot, tbe orew balf mad with exoitement, and wishing to embrace tbeir crafty chief. So audden had been the ohange that il was some time before the captain upon the brig perceived it. Bat wbeu, after tackiug right and left, be saw tbe clipper bold her head right before tbe wind, he fired a gun to haul her to ; but it was only an¬ swered by tbe stem-chaser, as sbe sprang from billow to billow. But the outwitted captain felt thore waa no cause for despair; for be knew his brig was much, tbe fastest sailor,and only vowing vengeance in case barm came lo bia men, bore down rapidly upon the retreating clipper. In an bour he bad sensibly gained on ber, insomuch lhat shots thrown fell but little lo windward of the alipper. By a series of taokiug and feint-making, Sol con¬ tinued without gun-reacb, twisting and curv¬ ing bis lillle oraft aa an Indian migbt bis canoe. StUl on came the pursuer, aud the spray from her shot splashed over the olip- per's side. Sol instantly manned the stern- chaser, and taking deliberate aim aent a ball through his enemy's mizzen. Shot after shot was exchanged, and as the distauce lessened, with more and raore effect. The clipper loat ground rapidly; balf her crew was killed or wounded; her gun had been ailent for some time, yel, with a dogged obstinacy, Sol Peck held her before the wind. For the last hour tbe captaiu of the brig bad been more auxious to seize tbau injure his prize, aud bad only fired at ber rigging. Bat now, provoked at the smuggler's obstiuaoy., be made ready to give a full broadside, and end the chase at once. Tbis bis close proximity enabled bim readily lo do. His guna wore ruu out; bia helm was veering round. Sol had been watch¬ ing hi-i pursuers movemeuts, aud now rapid¬ ly primed and pointed bis long nineponnder, tben carefally selecting bis old mark, the mizzen mast, fired. Wben the smoke cleared away be could see that it bad fallen, and lay partly over three of the gans. His men cheered loudly, aud takiug advautage of the evident confaaion, be agaiu pressed rapidly on his flight. To bis great joy tho outlinesB of the opposite coast became visible, and every possible foot of distance placed belween him and hia enemy.
Cursing the akill of his prize's captain, and wounded aud sore at tbe lengtb of the chase, the revenue officer uow came in swift pursuit, every stitch of cauvas spread lo its utlermost. In vain Sol tacked aud veered frum one aide to another; straight upon bis victim came the pursuer, guna primed and ruu out the ever-ready port-holes. Sol saw tbo dauger, but could not avoid it, and when bo aaw the matohes about to be applied, gave up all for lost. But at tbis very moment tbey were near tbe reef, aud the clipper waa turned al¬ most at rigbt angles throngb the opening, when a tremendous roar was heard, making tbo air to palpitate violently. Tho stern of the clipper waa shattered, but the fall force of the discbarge struck tbe water only, wbich seemed to boil under the concuasiou. Impa¬ tiently;^ the brig's captain wailed to witness the effect of bis broadside, hardly expecting to see a plank above water. Tbe first inteu¬ tion be had of its existenoe, was the reception of a grape ahot tbat uearly unshipped his rudder. Mad witb chagrin, he now followed the sudden course of the clipper and nnwit¬ tingly ruahed his vessel, under fall press of cauvass, straight upon the treacherous reef. The shout of deapair that rose from bis men, waa answered by yells of exultation from tbe clipper. Sol rounded to, and aaw bis enemy's prow balf out of water, so fearful had been the concussion. Il only remained for Captain Peck to take possession of the brig. This, out of humanity to the ship-wrecked ones, aod deaire to repay his meu for the danger he had drawn tbem into, be immediately did, and the British officer and bis crew were relieved from their uncomfortable poaition, their ves¬ sel relieved of everything of value, even Sol and his men experienced a similar feeling, and then finding be could not move tbe brig from its place on the rooks, he sel it on fire. That same nighl, not wishiug to be burdened with bis prisoners, he sailed with tbem from bis rendezvous, and steered toward tbe Galew Islands, vowing in no measured language he would raake au exaraple of raen who put the life of hiraself and crew iu jeorpardy. His meu exclaimed agaiust unneceasary violence to the prisoners, and insisted they were amug- glers but not piratea. Sol aimply replied he would make each and every one of Ibem walk the plauk. The men knew that remona trance would be useless. The night was fear, fully dark, not a single ray of light came through tbe clouds, hut not darker thau the' spirits of tbe prisonera when Ihey heard tbeir doom. In vain were prayera and intreaties. Sol was immovable, only oul of regard to hia guest, whose feelings he supposed wpnld be hurt from his rough treatment in tbe moru¬ iug, he consented tbat as be waa the first to. go down the hatchway, be would be tbe last to walk the plauk. It was about twelve o'clock wben tbe prisoners were marched on deok, aud with a cruel formality their aeu¬ tence read to tbem. Sol, again out of smy- patby for hia gnest, promised, bim that in consideration of bia expresaed inteution to intercede for him with the Governor, b.e would devontly pray for a soft and easy death for him. Tbe orew were horrified at their cap tain's heartless cruelty, but wiaely beld their peace. A broad plank, wide enough for two to walk abreaat, was extended aeveral feet beyond the ship's gaards. The water rolled and daahed wildly beneath tbem, eager for its victims. The devoted men were, two by two, forced over the fatal passage-way, and with a shriek fell below. As aoon as the last fell, Sol caused a string of lauterna to be swung over the ship's aide, and there, iu about two feet of water and mud, were seen the officera and men floundering in a most pitiable state.
" Can yon see your way f" asked Sol, swing¬ ing a lantern toward tbe brig's captain.— "For fear that island ahould be too damp, I'll give you aometbing to warm you," and be threw a cask of liquor in the mud among tbem.
The next moruing the ontcaata were picked up by a passingiveaael in a miserable plight, invoking tbe kindeat of blessings on the wor¬ thy Sol's bead<^> From tbis time Sol quit his aranggting life.^ His clipper was sold, his men disbanded, seeking worthier occupations, but it was long before his narae and fame were for¬ gotten by tbe revenue officers of bis Majesty.
Scandal, like the Nile, is fed by innumera¬ ble streams; but it ia extremely difficult to trace it to its source.

Tho next session wlli open the fl»at da- of NOVEMBER. The School is sound and practical In every department.— The coarse of stndy embraces everything that is taught In the best Colleges of oor conntry. The school is or¬ ganized on the moat approved plan of tha best InntUa- tlons In the New Eaglaad States. Ladles aod Gentlemea are entirely separate, except In recitations; in tritih, they have Uss intercourse than at home. The Teachers occapy apartmanls in the bnildings, and their Is no as- BOBlation oftbe sexes bnt In the preKenca oftheir instrnc tora. "Tha-bappy InflaaQce, mutuallycxetlcd, \a their Blight association lu the recttattoa room, at the table and In the pablic exrrclMH, is to be seen in the caltiva¬ tion of a cbeerfnl and animated disposition, in the for¬ mation of good habits and manners, in ardent devotioa to Btndy, and in tbe attainment of high moral character. These, with many other valnable resnlts, have establsh- ed the fact, that tbe best plan for a echool le, according to the evident deaign of Providence in tha coastltntlon of aociety, oa the basis of a well regnlated christlaa family.

Atlantic Hail Uoad, A'ew Jemcj/.
AN OLD KSTATl'i consisting of sev¬ eral thousands or ncr>?a of PRODcrcTivB BOIL has heen divided into Farms of variooa sizes to suit the purchaser. A populatiou of .some Fifteen Hundred, from variuaa parts of tbe Middle States and New Englaud have settled there the paal year, improved tbeir pl»ces. and raised excellent crops. The price of ibe land la r.t tba low sum of from $16 to $20 per acre, the sull Is of tba bestquality for the prodncUon of Wheat. Clover. Com, Peaches. Grapes and VcgctabUs. ITIS CONSID¬ ERED THE BEST FRUIT SOIL IN THE UNION. The place is perfectly secure from frosts—the deatructive enemy ol tha farmer. Cropa of grain, grass and frolt are now growing and can be seen. By examining the place itself, a correct judgment can be formed uflhe pro¬ ductiveness of tba land. Tha terms ara mide easy to secure the rapid Improvemenl uf the land, which is ouly sold foraclua^ improvement. The result has bean, tbat witbin the past year, some three hundred houses bave boeu erected, two mills, uue ateam, funr storea, some forty vlnyards and peach orchards,pIaQted,aud a largo unmher of other improvemeats, making It a desirable and active place of business.
THE MARKET,
as tho reader may perceivo from its locatiim, is the
BEST   IN   THE   UNION.

In locating hare, tbe settler has mauy adviatagaa.— He Is withia a few honrs ride of tho great cities of New England and Middie States, be is near iii.s old friends and associations, be is is In a .settled country where evey improvement of comfort and civilization is al hand — IK' can bny every article he wauts at the cheapest price, and sell his prodace fur the highest, (iu the Weat thla ia revdri<ed,) be has schools for hla cliildren,diviue eervlce, and will enjoy an op=n winter, aud dellghtfal climate, whare fevers are utterly unknowu. The result uf the cbange upon those from the north, has generally beeu to restore them to ao excallent htate of beslth.
In tbe way of building and Improving, lumber can be obtained at tbe mllla at the rate of $10 to $1& ptr thonaand. Bricks from the brick yard opeued In the place, every articia cau he procured In the place, good carpenters are at band, and there is no pUce In the Union were bnlldlugs and improvement-i can be made cheaper.
The roader wlllat once bn atrack witb tba advantages hcrepreseuted,aud a^'k blmhelf why the proparty baa not hot'u taken op bofore. Tbe reason is. It was never tbrowu ia the market; and unless thete statemeuts were correct, no oua would he invited to examine the laud befora pnrcbasing.
