Ijratise lie was upon the ground and witnessed
pverv thing with his own eyes. And here is the
testimony in tavor of Gene~al Harrison in hia
fc\vn words :
Frankfort, April SI, 1816.
I Dear General Your letter of the 15th inst.
has been duly received, in which you stated that
[charge had been made against you, “that you
tore forced to pursue Proctor from my remon
paiices, and that I had said to vou upon that oc*
[a.don, that it was immaterial what direction you :
bok, th xt I was resolved to pursue the enemy up
he T! araes, and you request me to give you a
latemont of facts in relation to the council of Vv-ar
ield at Sandwich.
“I will m the first place, freely declare, that no
uch language ever passed from me to you.
‘‘The Army I know was on its march by sun
-sse on the morning of the 2d ot October, and
onlinucd the pursuit four days, often in a run,
mtil the evening of the sth, when the enemy w;,s
(vcrlakcn.JS
“During the whole of this long and arduous
lursuit, no man could make greater exertions or
sc more vigilance than you did to overtake
'roctor, whUst ilie skill and promptitude with
rhich you arranged the troops for battle, and the
istinguished zeal and bravery y r ou evinced clur
ig its merited and received my
highest approbation. In short sir, from the time
ij oined you until the moment of our separation
I believe that no commander ever did or could
take greater exertions than you did, to effect the
Ircat objects of the campaign. I admired your
■lans, and thought them executed with great
fcnergv, particularly your order of battle and ar
pngoments for landing on the Canada shore,
kere calculated to inspire every man with conti
|cnce that svc could not be defeated with any thing
ike our own number.
I “Until I had served the campaign of 1813, I
ias not aware of the difficulties you had to cn
lountertfe commander of the Northwestern Army.
) have since often said, and still do believe, that
duties assigned to you on that occasion, were !
lore arduous and difficult to accomplish than I
\r.d ever known confided to any commander, and
iith respect to the zeal and fidelity with which
tb u executed that high and important trust, there
Jrc thousands in Kentucky as well as myself, j
Who believe it could not have been committed to
Idler hands.
I “With sentiments of the most sincere regard
ir.d esteem, I have the honor to be your obedi
|.t servant. ISAAC SHELBY,
t o MajP Gen. Wm. Hf.nrt Harrison.”
I wow, follow citizens, what candid man who is
iisposed to do justice to the fame of an old soldier
fiid patriot, can read this letter from the pen of
fov. Isaac Shelby and and ooubt the skill, the
felents, the courage and patriotism of Gen. Wm.
Henry Harrison 1 The whole army who were
Iresent and eye witnesses of his conduct, have
testified to them. Col Richard M. Johnson, the
Iresent Vice President of the U. States, was an
Bfe-witness. Ho led the charge of mounted rifle
■Jnrn which produced such decisive effect in the
jLt:le. What does he say ]
; ‘‘Of the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
ipeak—the history of the West is his history.
■or forty years he has been identified with its
luerests, its perils and its hopes. Universally
leloved in the walks of peace, and distinguished
Jy his ability in the councils of his country, he
|as been yet more illustriously distingushed in
|h* field. ©
| “During the late War, he was longer in active
lervice than any other general officer—he was
perhaps oftener in action than any one of them
|iul never sustained a defeat.”
* What did Commodore Perry say, who had
gept the Lakes of the British fleet by achieving
victory which, in the language of President
dadison in his message to Congress, “Never was
urpassed in splendor, however much it may have
een in magnitude.”
After this victory he joined Gen. Harrison,
cted as his volunteer aid in the battle of the
Thames, and was also an eye-witness of his whole
londuct. In a letter to Gen. Harrison. 18th
lugust, 1817, he says; “The prompt change
iiude by you in the order of battle on discovering
ftie position of the enemy, has always appeared
(o me to have?vinced a high degree of military
fclent.”
I Why, fellow-citizens, there are thousands of
pving eye-witnesses who were the comrades in
langer and in battle of Gen. Harrison, who will
testify to skill and talents as a commander—to his
lari ty of character and his devoted patriotism,
jeonfess I had no knowledge of the brilliant
i enes through which he has passed, and ot the
tiass of testimony that has been produced exhibit
ing his splendid services to the people of the U.
States until he was assailed by his enemies.
[J The votes of Legislatures, whose troops he
ommanded in battle—the resolutions of the Con
ress of the United States—the beautiful compli- ,
lents paid him by President Madison during tha
Ist War, his masterly productions as a republican
talesman when Governor of Indiana when Sen
ior in Congress, and when Minister abroad, all
flace him «a the first rank as an illustrious citizen
fend will ensure him the first place in the hearts
If his countrymen.

very light in consequence of many large millers

with the steady d mand for home use and to sup

A CARO. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day afternoon, May 30, 1 threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with bis wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When 1 arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the
ndividuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they' were moving from South Carolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give me the clue to their names,
or the place to which they were travelling, so that
I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer
a favor upon one who at limes is too forgetful for
his own interest. JAMES SEWELL,

PEDIGREE.
J. R. 11, Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—“ Tom Ttmstali was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom
Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stock as any horse in the United States. —
He was a race horse of the fust order, but I tear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Ckyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus :—“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any maxe ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie ; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlcmaine,
(son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated Amexican quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
greal-great-grand-dam by imported learnaught;
4great-great-groat-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s
S)ld Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
