LeIingtOn.-In passing through this pleasant town few days since, for the first time, we saw the bat tie monument, erected on the spot where the blood of the yeomanry in that quarter was shed in the vouton. While viewing the monument, and read ing the inscription thereon, we felt that peculiar glow of patriotism which ought to inspire every American bosom. Having never to our Knowledge seen the inscription, took off, and give it to readers below, trusting that they will participate in that holy feeling which pervaded the hearts of ancestors who nobly fought and bled in our early struggles Sacred to Liberty and the Rights of Mankind. The Freedom and Independence of America sealed and defended by the blood of her

 Sons. This Monument was erected by the Inhabitants of Lexington, under the patronage and at the expense of the Commonwealth

 of Massachusetts, to Then foo,os the names of those ,0ho ioere killed. who fell this field, the first victims to the sword of British tyranny and oppression on the morning ofthe ever memora-

 low-citizens. They rose one man, to revenge their breth- rens blood and at the point ofthe sword to assert and defend their nations

 rights.

 and the Peace, Liberty, and h.

 dependence of the United

 States of America was their glorious

 reward
