Col. Richard M. Johnson, now Vice President ol

Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of la dependence, wnc
spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeem
ing the pledge he then gave, of his “ fortune, life
and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his
CO “O r ft'he career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak
- the history oft he West, is his history, *or forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and i.s hopes Universally beloved in the
Talks ol peace, and distinguished by h.s 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, oltenerin action than any one ol them, ana
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said,
“ While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives Uve been lost in the action which look
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,
as well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of vefor and discipline .”
James Madison in his .Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812,said,
** An ample force from ilie Slates of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of 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 o ’ December 1813, the
compliment was extended, os follows :
41 The success on Luke Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory ol the enemy, the officer com
manding the North west ein arms, transferred the
war thirther,and, lapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with thei: savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of
the British, ana dispersion of the savage force.
44 This result is signally honorable to Major Gen
eral Harrison, by whose military talents it was pre
pared.”
The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, b} eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe;
“Should our country again require our service to
oppose a civilized or a savage foe, we should march
under General Harrison with the most perfect confi
dence of victory and fame.”

44 Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro
ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of
thousands of women and children rescued from the
scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder

In the Legisla.ure of Indiana, on the 12th Nov.
1811, the 8 peaker of the House of Representatives,
Geu. Wm Johnston, thus addressed General Harri
son.
“ Sir—The House (d Representatives of the In

their constituents, most cordially reciprocate the
congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious
result oft he late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw
nee Prophet, and the tribes of 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 oik meed of applause.”
Legislature of Kentucky, January 7, 1812.
44 Resolved, Ry the Senate and House of Hepre
tativesof the State of Kentucky, in the late cam
paign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Gov.
VVifliam Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a
patriot and a general; and that for his cool, 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 Wavne, in his Letter to the Secre
tary of War, giving an official account of his san
guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said ;
44 My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison
rendered the most essential service, by communica
ling my orders in every direction, and by his con
duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for
victory."

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says ;
44 1 leel no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen. Harrison to be one of the first military
characters 1 ever knew.”
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813, savs :
44 VfV dia not want to serve under cowards or trai
tors ; hut under one [Hamsun] who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brave.”
Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
44 The prompt change made by yon in the order of
battle on discovering the position of the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high
DEGREE OF MILITARV TALENT. I COOC ir with
the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of
your conduct in that campaign.”
Honorable Langdon Cheves, on the battle of the
Thames.
9 “ The victory of Harrison , was such as would have
secured to a Roman Gtneral in the best days of the
Republic, the honors oj a triumph ! He put an end
to the War in the Cppt'rmost Canada.”
Sentiments of »he Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col.
Croghan:
1 desire no plaudits which are bestowed upon
me at the expense ot General Harrison.
44 1 have kit the warmest attachment for him as a
man, and my confidence in him as an able comman
der remains unshaken. I feel every assurance that
he will at all limes do me justice; and nothing
could give me more pain than to see bis enemies
seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly
feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he
continues (as in ray humble opinion he has hither
to done) tom ake the wisest arrangements and the
most judicious disposition, which the forces under
his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to

Ex'Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said : ...
44 What man lives, whose whole heart and sou! is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in Ihe la(e
victories of Ferry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of the heroes of
llie West, who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from the Indian
tomahawk and sca'pmg knife ! If fhere 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 lile of Perry published ia
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said : „ . ,
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and 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 :
44 /’ must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon ihe national arms , and upon ihe
troops by whom it was achieved.
44 The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony ol the iudgemenl and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics : the disasters attending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
44 There are perhaps on record few instances ot
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
44 Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Artel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration ol joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
frontiers.’’

44 Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not

forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace,and distinguished by bis ability
in the councils of Ins country,be has been yelraore
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war. lie was linger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, aimer m
action than any one ot them, and never sustained a
deject.”

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, 44 and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !!

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 acies ot 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.
I also offer a tract of land containing 5 or 600
acres, in South Carolina, in Edgefield district, im
mediately on the Cambridge road, (one of the most
public roads in the State.) The place is known as
a part of the Martintown tract, and would make a
valuable stand for a store or public house.
Also, 250 acres of land in Decatur county in
this State.
Also, 250 acres of land in Baker county in this
State. WM. B. CANTELOW.

whTch one of the indnuduals
for that which is forthcoming. He is enauiei ,
from personal acquaintance, to testi /£*,,
superior qualihcations of Mr. T. Ihe loitowm 0 ,
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 discharge*
the duties of his office with great credit to himsel
and advantage to the Institution. Since then, In
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos-
affords roe great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a man of high moral and Chii'-tian
character, and perfectly well qualified to take
charge of any Academy or High School, where his
services may be wanted. II Humphrey, Pres.
Amherst College, Sept. 16. 1539.”
“Amherst College. Sept. 20, lbJ9.
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
whiclThe is an alumnus,and afterwards as a Tutor
in the College, and since a? 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.
Yales of Union College, and Joslin of the New
York University.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly icsponsibleduties 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 devclopcment of ail 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, wiio should receive for his guidance a
map of a different country from that in which lie
is to travel.
They will aim at permanent results. The pow
er and the habit of reasoning arc worth more than
any number of the results of others’ rcasonii g; —
the love of knowledge anil 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 oi 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
thedangerof being injuriously involved in fash
ionable dissipation, or being 100 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 aims—the same
in its internal arrangements,in its religious aspects
and ill 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 £u-o Sessions, of four and a half months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day
of June.
ll is every way desirable that pupils should enter
at the commencement of the Terra ; they will,
however, be received al any period ®f the Term,
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
The Institution will be open five days of the
week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 am.
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 doable post
age upon the part of Postmasters.

|A Late and Valuable Discovery.
PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust tnc public eye than the innumerable
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics This stale
ot the public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of thc public.—
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us Irorn
making known real discoveries, which we are can
fident will benefit our fellow men. Tins la |ter
consideration has prompted the author of these hit
ters to make them known. He knows they are Ing 1
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his rec ollection was gone. Ry using these bitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby vra*
troubled for many years,but was restored to hea th
by ihe use of these bitters. This has been the case
with many of lus frit mis. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addressee those who know
him. He has been for many years a resident o
Augusta, at which place he can at any time nJ
consulted about the bitters. They are good m al!
