The Moon o’er (ho mountain
Is shining alar;
Her path, like a fountain,
Flows lovely and clear.
The sky is unclouded,
Not a shadow is sailing
Where the ;-u>on walks unshroudeJ,
Her beauty revealing.
See —the clouds gather round her—
The lightning is flashing;
Loud rolls the hoarse thunder—
The wild storm is dashing.
Oh ! a moment has banish’d
The beautiful scene!
Like a dream it has vanished
The storm-clouds between,
Tims, Life in its morning
Os May, is serene ;
Hone’s sweet smiles adorning,
In softness are seen.
And the glass that we look through
Is clear and unstain’d,
And the scenes that we look to.
Young Fancy has train’d.
Joy dances before us—
Not a cloud intervenes—
A blue sky is o’er us,
Hope fiushers our vein=.
But tin; dream is soon over,
Like the scene which has faded ;
.Realities hover—
The picture is shaded.
The storm whirls each feature
Os splendor way,
But the Moon o’er glad Nature
Will again cast her ray.
But when Reason has blighted
Young Fancy’s bright bloom,
The path she once lighted
She can never relume.
AMYNTOR, Jr
CAPTURE OF CORNWALLIS.
We have heard it often asserted, (says
the (Norfolk Herald) that General Washing
ton, by a well concerted plan of finesse,
drew Cornwallis into the position at York,
the most favorable, perhaps, that could
have been selected to prevent the retreat
and insure the capture of the British army ;
while others, again, h:-.ve contended, that
Washington hail other views at the time ;
that the movements of Cornwallis were the
result of necessity, and that his being en
trapped at Yorktown was rather the effect
of accident than of miscalculation. This
question may be considered ns put at rest
by the following letter, published in the
American Museum for May, 1791, which
is peculiarly apropos at the present time.—
The Editor of the Museum thus introduces
the letter.
“It has been controverted whether the
\ capture of Gen. Cornwallis was the result
\ of a plan preconcerted between Gen. Wash
\ ington and the Count de Grasse ;or rather
( whether the arrival of the Count in the
\ Chesapeake, was predetermined and ex
\ pectec! by General Washington, and consc
\ queotly all preparations to attack New
\\ork, a mere finesse to deceive the enemy ;
Vr whether the real intention was against
View York, and the siege of Yorktown
planned upon the unexpected arrival of the
iVench fleet in the bay. The following
letter will set the matterln its true light
\ MOUNT VERNON, JtJLy 31, 1 7«8.
Sir: 1 duly received your letter of the
14tfV instant, and can only answer you
brief* and generally from memory ; that a
com bVpd operation of the land and naval
forces VFrance in America, for the yeai
17blj As preconcerted the year before;
that i)ie y>oint of attack was not absolutely
gyr< «vd tn'Oiij* brtatrarirmnTTriTot'fj a fore,
known where the enemy would be most
suscepfiblit of impression ; and because we
(having thi command of the water with
sufficient mbans of conveyance) could traps
port -ourselves to any spot with the greatest
celerity; it was determined by me,
nearly twelve months beforehand, at all
hazards, to give out, and cause it to be be
lieved by the ’highest military as well as
civil officers,\hat New York- was the des
tined place of attack, for the important pur
pose of inducing the eastern and middle
states to make greater exertions in fumish
ing spot ific supplies, than they otherwise
would have done, as well as for the inter
esting purpose of rendering the enemy less
prepared elsewheie ; that, by these means,
and these alone, artillery, boats stores, mid
provisions, were in seasonable preparation,
to move with the utmost rapidity to any
part of the continent; for the difficulty con
sisted more in providing, than knowing
how to apply the military apparatus ; that
before the arrival of, the Count de Grasse,
it was the fixed determination to strike the
enemy in the must vulnerable quarter , so
as to insure success with moral certainty
as our affairs were then in the most ruinous
train imaginable ; that New York was
thought to be beyond our effort, and conse-
quently that the only hesitation that re-j rt
mained, was between an attack upon the; e
British army in Virginia, and that in u
Charleston : and finally, that, by the inter- [tl
veiuion of several communications, and I
some incidents which cannot he detailed in v
a letter, the hostile post in Virginia, from t
being a provisional and strongly expected,j
became the definitive and certain object ot; s
the campaign. 1
I only add, that it never was in contera- (
platiun to attack New-York unless the gar- J
risen should first have been so far degar- t
nished, to carry on the Southern operations, I
as to render our success in the siege of that ■
place as infallible as any future military I
event can ever be made. For I repeat it, i
and dwell upon it •again, some splendid
advantage, whether upon a larger or smaller
scale was almost immaterial, was so essen-
I tially necessary, to revi e the expiring hopes
, and languid exertions of the country at the
crisis in question, that I never would have
consented to embark in any enterprise,
wherein, from the niost rational plan and
accurate calculations, the favorable issue
should have not appeared to my view as u
: ray of light. The failure of an attempt
. against the posts of the enemy, could, iu no
other possible situation during the war,
, have been so fatal to our cause.
That much trouble was taken, and finesse
used, to misguide and bevaider Eir Henry
Clinton, in regard to the real object, by fic
titious communications, as well us by mak
i ing a deceptive provision of ovens, forage,
and boats, in his neighborhood, is certain ;
nor were less pains taken to deceive our
own army ; for 1 had always conceived,
where tin? imposition does not completely
take place at home, it would never suffi
ciently succeed abroad.
Your desire of obtaining truth, is very
laudable ; I wish 1 had more leisure to
gratify it, as I am equally solicitous the
undistinguished verity should be known.—
Many circumstances will unavoidably be
misconceived and misrepresented. Not
withstanding most of the papers, which
may properly be deemed official, are pre
served ; yet the knowledge of innumerable
things of a more delicate and secret nature
is confined to the perishable remembrance
of some few of the present generation.
With esteem, 1 am, sir, your most obedi
ent humble servant,
GEORGE WASHINGTON.

CUHISTIA N MUNI LICENCE.
At one of ibe late religious anniversaries
in London, Sir Thomas Baring related the
following anecdote, respecting the London
Jews’ Society ;
At the first meeting which I attended as
President of that Society, I found that it
was in debt to no less an amount than J4,-
000/. I here seemed to be nudiimian pro
bability of more than 2000/. of that sum
being {laid oil. I felt myself, therefore, un
der the necessity ol declaring that I could
not belong to a religious society which was
in debt—that either the means must be
found ot discharging its incuniberances, or
that the Society itself inuift he annihilated.
A single individual at that meeting put into
hands n n thousand pounds? 1 give to
God the glory of this act; lor it never would
have entered into the heart of that friend
to make this sacrifice, had not the will and
purpose been given him by a higher power.
To this benefaction 2000/. was added by
the other persons present, about sixteen or
eighteen in number ; and 2000/. more by
another individual. In this manner the
whole debt of the Society was immediately
paid off; and, from that time, it has been
rising as a religious society, under the bless
. ing of God, until its annual income has now
reached about 1200/.
PROM THE NATIONAL JOURNAL.
bill Sept. 1824.
Sir: 1 was not a little surprised, last
evening, when one of the members of a late
meeting in Richmond county, (Georgia,)
brought to my house the Augusta Chroni
cle and Georgia Advertiser of 4th inst- In
which, the Editor of that paper assumes to
represent the feelings and political senti
ments of the people in this part of the coun
try, by issuing his ojjicious remarks to the
world upon said meeting, at which I had
(he honour to act as Secretary. He saj’s
liter were “seventeen resolutions of some
what a singular character, and followed by
an address of a corresponding nature.”—
How are his readers to judge of the singu
larity of the doctrines and sentiments of
that meeting, unless lie had first published
the extracts from the minutes, that they
might read for themselves, It appears to
me, that method would not have been so
singular as the one he has adopted—in
which lie seems to act without judge or jury
for his readers agreeable to his own politi
cal view of things. Mad lie first published
the minutes, they would speak for them
selves, and then his remarks would have
come iu as a matter of right. But I shall
only remark, in behalf of myself, and some
of.the oilier members from South Carolina,
that sffch a meeting was held on the I2lh
of August in the county of Richmond, and
the “ communication” alluded to by the
1 Augusta Editor is the genuine production
of the political sentiments of that meeting.
It was not the intention of the meeting to
derogate from the real merits of Mr. Craw
-1 ford as a citizen, nor any of the other can
■ didutes for the Presidency.
But if, from the representation of one of
■ the Georgia members, the number of Mr.
■ Crawford’s friends to his election are un-
I donated in the county of Oglethorp, I will
• lake it upon myself to state, impartially,
that it was the aggregate of the best infor-
J illation before the meeting, and was accord
ingly adopted.—VVliethei this meeting con
sisted of tens, twenties, or thousands, 1
’ conceive to he unimportant, as the smaller
• number has as much right to express their
> sentiments and lie heard, upon the affairs of
■ the nation, as the larger. This meeting
> was not got up with the usual pomp as such
matters are generally conducted in cities
and large villages, but was intended to be
a mere expression, without parade or show,
of the plain sentiments incident to what is
1 styled “ country people.”
If the doctrine- therein contained are in
correct, let the people judge for themselves,
• and not the printers for them. But, how
' are the people to act upon those sentiments
1 of national politics designed for their in
: spection, if all Editors, like that of the
) Chronicle, are disposed to suppress the
free expression of their fellow-citizens upon
the present and future welfare of the na
tion ? With regard to Wilks and Columbia
- counties, intervening between Richmond
I and Oglethorp, I believe the Editor of the
i Chronicle has merely saved the truth of his
i assertion, by the point which the direct
i road from Augusta crosses between the
• two comities.
And wiih regard to the transmission of
copies of the minutes (which seems so much
to trouble that gentleman) to those papers
known to be friendly to the election of Mr.
i Adams in preference to the two presses in
i Augusta, it was deemed most proper, be
-1 cause the latter ar« boih believed to be, in
heart, working foi.'the benefit of the btale,
upon the old Georgia sjjftjms upon the trea
ty of 1802, and for •tit-, election of Mr,
Crawford, as the great that object
I have,thought proper, in conjunction
with some of t Im* oilier members, to say thus
much, byway of explanation, for the bene
fit of your read» rs, that whatever political
v iews Editors may take of the said meeting
in this age of political manoeuvring) (in
which it is hard for a man to know his real
friends,) they may he'assured that there is
no konxing nor fabrication in the princi
ples submitted to our fellow-citizens for
their mature consideration.—l shall not
feel myself authorized to notice any further
comments Editors may feel disposed, on
account of parly spirit, to make upon the
proceedings of said meeting.

paper, and oblige vour obedient servant,

SATURDAY,’SEPT. 25,1824. *
Our readers will probably be amused
with the article we this day publish from
the National Journal, written from “ Edge
field,” and signed “William Sullivan,”
who calls himself Secretary of a late rneet
. ing held in this county, &c. Such sort of
publications may be considered harmless
productions, and they probably, do no
. essential injury, except that they have
I a.tendency to destroy confidence in other
. public statements, and to mislead and im
i pose upon publishers and readers abroad,
1 We took'notice of the former account of a
J ■pretended 'meeting in this county, not on
account of the sentiments expressed in the
; address published, or in the resolutions said
- to have been adopted, but because we
thought it wrong that it should be announ-
I p 3
ced abroad, that resolutions and an address
f bad been agreed upon at a meeting of “old
i and respectable inljabji'* -;s here,” when no
I such meeting had been held, or heard of in
the county. And now it seems the pre
tended Secretary is not ashamed to assure
i the Editor of the National Journal, with an
■ affected seriousness, that such a meeting
' was held here, and that the resolutions and
aidless published were agreed upon at it.
To be sure he now says “ whether the meet
- ing consisted of tens, twenties, or thousands,
I is immaterial,” &c. If by this the writer
’ means, that himself alone, or that he with
some other person, in a private room, drew
. up the matter in question, and thought pro
-1 per to denominate that a meeting of citi
zens, we should not feel inclined to question
his position; for it is evident that some one
, has written the matter, and had it publish
i ed—but by some persons it might be thought
i “ material” whether a meeting stated to
! have been held by a “ large number of the
’ oldest and most respectable inhabitants of
South Carolina and Georgia,” consisted oj
. ten or more persons, or not; or whe
> ther it was held publicly or privately—
especially as it was alleged to have been
“held by appointment.” The account of
. the meeting, as it was published, particu
• larly after the notice we look of it, was
1 read by many persons here, and we have
never found one individual who had ever
I known, or heard, of the meeting, except
■ from that publication. And that a Chair
s man and Secretary should have been called
1 from South Carolina, to preside in, and act
for, a meeting in Richmond county, in
f Georgia, was a sort of novelty which we
i have no doubt the writer intended for his
s own amusement, and to divert himself at
• thus making the hoax more complete.
The letter of the pretended Mr. Sullivan,
[ this day published, is written in a style of
, pleasantry evidencing the writer to hpve
• been in a hoaxing humor, though there is an
■ affected gravity about it, well calculated to
, impose upon an unsuspecting publisher.—
■ Our leaders will probably be diverted at
■ the idea, that it is only the course of the
I stage road that pi events Oglethorpe and
; Richmond from being contiguous counties;
I perhaps the writer in his next may inform
i in what way a traveller would pass from
■ oye of these counties to the other, without
passing through two other counties. The
, writer’s calculations as to Mr. Crawford’s
, popularity hi bis own county, have received
: some support from the account of the meet
ing held there on the 4th inst. ns published
in our last, in which, on the Presidential
. question, Gen. Jackson had 308 votes, and
Mr. ( .'rawford X7 • Still, however, it is our
J belief, that in taking the votes of the whole
. county, Mr. C. would receive a majority—
. and with the belief of ibis we should not be
' disposed to publish abroad what we scarce
ly considered deserving credit at home.—
| Wb have assuredly no desire to see Mr.
, Crawford President of the United Slates,
nor do we in the least anticipate any such
event ; still we think it probable that be
will receive the entire vole of thin State,
though hud I he people the appointment of
Electors,.as they ought to have, instead of
, the Legislature, the result would in all
i likelihood be different.
■ There are ways enough in which a wri
ter eau convey his sentiments to the phblic
without any sort of imposition, and it re
quires no extraordinary reflection to know,
that the- practice ot the most successful
hoax, adds very little to a man’s credit,
| either as a genius or a moralist.
It \vould not, probably, be difficult to
. designate the quarter from whence the ac-
I count of the Richmond meeting emanated,
■ but we feel no inclination to interrupt the
satisfaction which the author supposes him
self io be secretly enjoying at this effort of
, his ingenuity. We however, deem it an
i act of ordinary justice to let the publishers
' of the article know the real truth of the
case, and to inform them that whether the
\ pretended Mr. Howard and Mr. Sullivan
( live “ ten miles apart” or not, they have
