“ During the late war, he was longer in active ser

haps, oltener in action than any one ot them, and
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 have been lost in the action which look

* James Madison in his Message to Congress, No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the 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 their; volunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta
tions l ban by their personal menus”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as to lows :
“ The success on Lake Erie haying opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arm i, transferred the
war thirther, and.iapidly pursuing the hostile troops

the British, and dispersion of the savage force.

The Richmond Enquirer said :
“G en Harrison’s letier tells us every thing that
we wish to know about the officers, except himself.
He does justice to every one but Harrison —and
the world must therefore dojuslice to tlie man who
was too modest to be just to himself.”

May they ever remember that to preserve their
liberties, they must do their own voting and their

“ General Harnson has done more for his coun
try, with less compensation for it, than any man
living.” President Madison.
| the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man In cs, whose whole heart and soul is
i«ot 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 cand d ite for Gov.
in Connecticut, in hia lite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen liar
rison,«aid :
“The defence of Fort Meigs, ami 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, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony ol the judgement and
cool intrepidity of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters ai tending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps oa record fe v instances of
such cool and steady intrepodity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, us 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.”

forty years he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and ns hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of 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, aftner in
action than any one of t hem, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the raan, who, still enjoying his untar
nished lame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned ny Ins grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of t lie nation, “and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !

WAREHOUSE AND COMMISSION
MERCHANTS.
THE subscribers have formed a co-partnership
for the transaction of a factorage and com
mission business, under the firm of HOPKLVS 4*
STOVALL. They have taken the commodious
fire-proof Ware House on Mclntosh street, oppo
site Gen. Thomas Dawson’s, formerly occupied by
Heard & Wilson, and more recently by D’Antignac
&, Hill. Their storages are conveniently situated
for the storage of cotton, or receiving and forward
ing of goods by Railroad or Wagon. They hope,
by strict attention to business, to merit a share of
public patronage.

D’ANTIGNAC & HILL
INFORM their friends and the public, that they
continue the Ware-house and Commission
Business at their new and extensive fire-proof
ware-house, which is now in complete order for
the reception of Cotton, or other produce, with am
ple close storage for goods. All Cotton and other
articles consigned to them by the Rail Road being
discharged from the cars immediately in front of
their gate, renders drayage unnecessary. Fo
guard against accidents to teams, cotton from
wagons will be leeched at the gate on Walker
street, entirely out of sight of the cars.
The proprietors return thanks to their customers
for their former patronage, and respectfully solicit
a continuance ol their favors. w3m julytd
TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN A WAY from the subscriber. li\ ing
jni in Morgan county, near Park’s Bridge, on
the Oconee river, my negro man Nelson,
about twenty five years of age, six feet
high, well proportioned, a li: tie yellow, of a good
countenance, high forehead, his upper eyeteeth
decayed, which is easily perceived when he talks
or smiles, and has little to say unless spoken to. —
He left my premises cn the 9th of August, and
wore off a pair of homespun nankeen pantaloons,
and took olf with him a pair of blue Kentucky
jeans, and a cloth cap. Nelson is ato crable black
smith, and fond of gambling, and is sure, if taken
up, to deny his name and his owner’s name, as he
has runaway twice before. Once I got him out of
Augusta jail, and once from Charleston, S, C. I
purchased him from Bcnj. Davis in Harnbui".
Any information will be thankfully received, and
the above reward will be paid for his lodgment in
any jail so that I get him.

tZX A REWARD.—Ranaway from the
subscriber, on the 29th ult., a likely
negro boy named Scott, 18 or 19 years old, 5 feet
10 inches nigh, rather light complexion, looks very
pleasing when spoken to, very intelligent, and re
markably polite in his c.cportment, spare made and
streight. He took with him, from me, about SIOO
in money, $25 of which was American gold, the
balance in bills of the Planters’ and Mechanics’
Bank of Columbus, Also, a fine gold watch and
chain with square links. lam inclined to believe
he has been seduced away by some white man a*
he has hitherto been trust worthy and honest as’far
as I have known.
He was raised in Charlotte, N. C., and may
possibly endeavor to get back, but will more pro
bably endeavor to get to a tree State, either by
way of Apalachicola or through the up countiy as
he has been heard to express a desire to to
Ohio or Philadelphia. 0
I will give the above reward of lour hundred
dollars, for the apprehension of the boy and thief
ana their delivery to me, with sufficient evidence’
to convict them, or S2OO lor the boy and the watch,
or $l5O lor the toy alone, or a proportionate reward
