_ the history ot Ihe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, Us
itenla and its hopes. Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by his ability in
the councils ol his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any other General officer; he was, per
haps, oltener in action than any one ut them, and
never sustained a defeat ”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, IS 11, said,
m While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able Jives have been lost in ihe action which took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see with sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
us well as the collected firmness which distinguished
Iheir commando) on an occasion requiring the ut.
most exertions of valor and discipline "
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the Stales of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
ol Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions than by their personal merits.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her, and.iapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, and dispersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared.”
The following tribute ol praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, bj eleven of the officers who
(ought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca

“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march

“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro

thousands of women and ,-hildren rescued from the
scalping Unite ot the ruthless savage of the wilder
ness, and from the still more savage Proctor, rest on

In the Legislature of Indiana, on llm 12th Nov,
1811, the 5 peaker ot the House of Representatives,
Gen. Wm Johnston, thus addressed general Harri
son.
“ Sir The House of Representatives of the In
diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of
* their constituents, most cordially reciprocate lha
congratulations ot your Excellency on the glorious
result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes ol Indians confederated
with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of
our country, not only the consummate abilities of
the general, but the heroism of the man; and when
we take into view the benefits which must result to
that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a
moment, withhold ou<- meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
“ Resolved , By the Senate and House ol Kepre
tativesof the State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that lor Ins coo), delib
erate, skilful and gallant conduct in the battle of
Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks
of his country and his nation.
Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account ol his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1782, said :
“ .My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by communica
tine my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory.”
Resolution directing the madals struck, and,{to be
together with the thanks of Congress, presented
to Major General Harrison, and Gov. Shelby,
and fur other purposes.
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre

gress assembled, That the thanks of Congress
be, and they are hereby, presented to Major Gen
eral William Henry ilarrisor, and Isaac Shelby,
late Gov. of Kentucky, and through them, to the of
fleers and men under iheir command, for their gal
lantry and good conduct in defeating the combined
British and Indian forces under Major General Proc

day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
thirteen, capturing the British army, with their bag
age, camp equippage, and artillery ; and that the
President of the United States be requested to cause
two gold medals to be struck, emblematic of this
triumph, and lie presented to General Harrison and
Isaac Shelby, late Gov. of Kentucky.
H. Cr.AV,
Speaker of the House o Representatives.
John Gaillard,
President ot the Senate, pro tempore.
April 4, 1813.—Approved,
James Monroe.
Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ 1 loel no hesitation to declare to yon that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the first military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says :
“ HV did not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [ Harrison ] who had proved him
self to be wise, jnudent and brave."
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by yon in the order of
battle on discovering the position ot the enemy, has
always appeared to me to Lave evinced a high
degree of military talent. 1 cone ir with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
“ The victory of Harrison , was such as would have
secured to a Reman General in the best days of the
Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Vpptrmnst Canada."
feentirnents ot ‘.he Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
1 desire no plaudits w hich are bestowed upon
me at the expense of General Harrison.
“ 1 have Kit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. 1 feel every assurance that
he will at all times do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see his enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out iheir unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in my humble opinion he hns hither
to done Uom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, w Inch the forces under

on no occasion been withheld.
The Richmond Enquirer said
“Gen Harrison’s letter telb us everything that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He dues justice to every one but Harrison— and
the world must therefore dojusticeto the man who
was 100 modest to be just to himself.”
tram Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the
Thames ;
“We have suffered greatly tor the want ol pro
visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the
last three days, on raw beef without salt.”
“ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been
observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those
who are the least willing to part with their rights,
and submit themselves to the will ot a master.”
Wm. H Harrison.
THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES
May they ever remember that to presctve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their
own fighting. M - H. Harrison.
“ General Harrison has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
Ex'Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man In cs, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
the West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and scalping knife ! If there be such an
one, he is a traitor to the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his iite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said ;
“The defence of Fort Meigs, ana the subsequent
capture of the British army,may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events of the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said ;
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms , anil upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aclislics ; the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.”
An Eloquent Record,
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
the 9th of February, 1773.
In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our infant army.

tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen.
Wayne,and in a lew days thereafter, was selected
by him as one of his Aids.
On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle of the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering written approbation of Gen VVayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex
officio Lt. Governor.
In 1793, he was chosen a delegate to Congress.
In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana,

On the Ist May, 1813, the seige of Fort Meigs

by the brilliant and successful sortie of Gen. Har
rison.
On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste

On the sth October, 1813, he gained the splendid
victory of the THAMES, over the British and In

In 1814, he was appointed by Madison one of

in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby
and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of
Greenville.
In 1815, he was again appointed such Commis
sioner, with Gen. McArthur and Mr. Graham, and
negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.
In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in
honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the
most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever
delivered in the House of Representatives.
In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio
Senate.
in 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress,
and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili
tary Committee, in place of Gen. Jackson, who had
resigned
In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia,
and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar
the deliverer of South America.
Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke
in the House of Representatives whilst a member
of that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks ol peace,and distinguished by his ability
in the councils of his country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, eftner in
ac tion than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished fame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned by his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “ and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !!

LAND FOR SALE.
THE subscriber has in view removing west
wardly, offers for sale the following tracts of
Land, viz: that valuable tract on which he resides,
containing 1350 acres, lying on the Savannah River
and Soap creek, of which a part is first rate river
and creek low grounds. There are three hundred
and fifty acres of it cleared, the balance in woods,
consisting of oak, hickory, poplar and warhoo. —
The cleared land is under a good fence. Its pro
duction cannot be surpassed by any lands in the
up country. The improvements consist of a con
venient and comfortable Dwelling, besides Gin
House, Screw, all new, and all other houses neces
sary for a country residence and farm. The dwell
ing is located on an elevated situation, and re
markably healthy, with springs of the purest water
scattered throughout the premises. There is also
on the premises, one of the best sites for a mill or
mills or factory there is in the up country, and its
contiguity to the river will make it more valuable.
As the purchaser would wish to examine the pre
mises previous to making the purchase, it would
be needless for me to give any farther description
of the premises.

VALUABLE LANDS FOR SALE IN
GREENE COUNTY.
WE offer for sale one thousand eight hundred

of all kinds ; and as to health, none more so in
Georgia well watered —in fact it cannot be beat

SOUTH-C AROLINA FEMALE INSTI
TUTE.
THE djties of this Institution,under the dnec
tion of Dr. Elias Marks and Rev. Well
ington H. Tyler, will be resumed on the hrst
°°Twentv-tw!f years of past service is the pledge
which one of the above-named individuals offers,
for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled,
from personal acquaintance, to testify as to the
superior qualifications of Mr. T. Ihe following,
among other testimonials, are offered :
“Mr. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
College. After taking his first degree, he went to
Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able
and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged
the duties of his otiice with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since then, he
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary,
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos
pel*
V It affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a man of high moral and Christian
character, and perfectly well qualified to take
charge of any Academy or High School, where his
services may be wanted. H. Humphrey, Pres.
Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839.1’
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839.
This may certify. That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington H. Tyler,
having known him as a member of this College, of
which he is an alumnus, and afterwards as a Tutor
in the College, and since as a licensed preacher
resident in this place ; and I take great pleasure
in recommending him to the public confidence as a
Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and
gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities, attain
ments, and general character, to superintend the
instruction of youth of either sex in ary of oui
literary institutions. N. W.Fiske,
Prof. Int. and Mor. Phi’y.”
Mrs. T. is amply recommended by the Principals
of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs.
Yates of Union College, and Joslin of the New
York University.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly responsible duties which will devolve
upon them, will aim at practical results, and at
tempt rather to qualify those submitted to their
care for the duties of real life, than to gain for
them the admiration too often bestowed upon er
ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical developcment of all the
faculties which make up the mental and moral
constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a
traveller, who should receive for his guidance a
map of a different country from that in which he
is to travel.
They will aim zt permanent results. The pow
er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than
any number of the results of others’ reasonii g;—
the love of knowledge and a mind well disciplined
and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater
blessing than any amount of knowledge without
such guaranties for its perpetuity and increase, as
a living fountain is worth more than a stagnant
reservoir of however great dimensions.
They will aim, in short, at combining, in the
highest practicable degree, the advantages of home
education with those which, in the general, can
only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought
together for the same object;—at concentrating the
endearments of home, its social sentiments and its
proprieties of life—for the improvement and the
enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from
the danger of being injuriously involved in fash
ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied
with distracting domestic cares and avocations.
It will be perceived that the new arrangement
leaves the identity of the Institute untouched. It
will be the same in its objects and alms —the same
in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects
and in the sentiments of its conductors, as they
regard the domestic institutions of the South. —
Hence the propriety of omitting here much that
must otherwise have been detailed at large, res
pecting our arrangements and the advantages of
them —matters, which have already and repeatedly
been submitted to the notice of the public, and as
it would seem, met their approbation.
The regular Term of the Institute consists of
nine months , commencing on the Ist of October,
and terminating on the last day cf June. Term
divided into two Sessions, of four and a haif months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day
of June.
It is every way desirable that pupils should enter
at the commencement of the Term; they will,
however, be received at any period of the Term,
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
The lustiturion will be open five days of the
week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a. m.
to 5 p. m. to the inspection of patrons and those
interested in the cause of Female Education.
No expenditures will be made for pupils, for
books, stationary, postage, and necessary articles,
such as shoes, &c. unless an advance is made, in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.
We recommend to patrons and others to post-pay
their letters, addressed to the inmates of the In
stitute, in order to anticipate errors of double post
age upon the part of Postmasters.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR THE
Itch ! !
tffgr JVo article ever introduced to public notice has
found to answer a better purpose, or been more highly ip
proved, than the justly celebrated
Dumfries’ Itch Ointment.
SO great and extended has become its reputation, tin
dealers are ordering it from all parts of the county,
as a remedy which gives their customers the highest
satisfaction.
A Student I—connected with one of our Lite*
ary Institutions, where this loathsome disease bad ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries’ Itch Ointment extermi
nated it, after various other applications had failed led:
so, and it had in consequence gained a reputation in that
Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy knsvn fir lit
Itch!
*** This preparation, for pleasantness, safety,expedi
tion, ease and certainty, is unsurpassed, if equalled. It
does uot contain the least particle of mercury, or othei
dangerous ingredient, and may be applied with perfect
safety by pregnant females, or to children at the breast,
and it cures, however inveterate, in
DCr One Hour’s Application only I—And no
danger from taking cold.
It is also one of the best applications for a hatnor, t*
form of a ring-worm, known by the name of the Babiim’

skin generally.
