Satisfied for twenty or thirty years,
have given rise to the unhappy dif
ferences, subsisting botweenthe Fed
eral government and this. It is sin
cerely hoped that these differences
approach to an amicable termination,
and that enlightened counsels unit
ed to better feelings will restore the
harmony which it is so much the in
terest ot both parties to cultivate
an cherish. Wrong has been done,
to Georgia—her views misrepresent
ed, ard her character traduced ; but
wrong will come t* right, and what
prejudice has misrepresented, histo
ry will correct. That history from
infancy to the present moment, falsi
fies the charges by which malignan
cy has sought to make her odious.
In all her departments, her Repre
sentatives and Magistracy, in peace
and ia war have failed in nothing of
their duty to the United States To
the constitutional law, a ready and
cheerful obedience has been render
ed at all times. In seasons of dan
ger her contributions have been giv
en without stint, and her sword
drawn upon the first appeal. If for
these she claims no merit, she de
serves no reproach. They are the
righteous only whom we acknowl

b speaking for them any thing but
the award duo to their intrinsic mer

I cannot conclude this message
without congratulating you on the
blessings communicated to society
by that universal toleration of reli
gion (the guarantee of our political
constitutions) by which the intolerant
himself, as well as the believing
and the unbelieving are exempt from
all responsibility but to their Mak

the hristian church, differing in
err ils, but united in the faith given
to the sermon on the mount, preach
and worship securely almost in the
same Temple, spreading the benign
doctrines of that sermon far and wide
impressing their sacredness by pre
cept and example, and laying the
prosnority of society in the deep
i’ouii iations of a pure morality.
Ii becomes nations and communi

universe, the author of every good,
to acknowledge his power, to mako

our gratitude and thankfulness for
the continued dispensations of hi'

GEORGE M. TROUP.
THE BATTLE OF GERMANTOWN.
[LfcfOir from the Hon. Timothy
Picketing. published in the last
number o,*’ the North American Re
view. J
Salem, Acc. 23d, 1826.
Sin . Nearly forty-nine years have
elapsed since the battle of German
town ; of course you may well sup
pose that many facts respecting it
are beyond my power of recollection,
while a few are indelibly impressed
on my memory. Without repeat
ing all your questions, I answer them
by the following statement.
“I. I did not know at the time,
nor do I recollect ever to hare heart),
th i Pulaski was found asleep, until
it wa« mentioned by Judge Johnson,
in his * Life of General Greene.’—
Nor do I remembty to have heart!
him censured for any neglect of du
ty in the case referred to—the bat
tle of Germantown. It was on the’
15th of Sepiember, 1777, as ap
pears by the Journals of Congress,
that Count Pulaski was appointed
commander of the horse, with the
ran* of Brigadier General. He
must have brought with him from
Poland the reputation of a good (offi
cer, of which vigilance , when on du
ty, is an essential characteristic; or,
a perfect stranger as he was, he
would not have received that honor
able appointment. The distant
the army bad to march from its en
campment on the Skippack road to
Germantown, is estimated to be
about sixteen miles; and, therefore,
(although 1 do uot recollect it)
very temporary halt might have t,
ken place, but certainly not lor. t
enough for au officer or private f
have retired to indulge in sleep in
farm house.
“2. General Washington, in h.
letter to Congress, of October 61
she day after the battle, say*, thTaf
the Army marched about 7 o'clock
in the-evening of the 3d, and that
General Sullivan’s advanced party
attacked the enemy’s picket at
Mount Airy, or Mr. Allen’s house,
about sunrise the next morning,
which presently gave way, and hir
main body, consisting of the right
wing, following soon, engaged the
light infantry and other troops en
camped near the picket, which they
forced from their ground. Leaving
their baggage, they retreated a con
siderable distance, having previous
ly thrown a party into Mr. Clew’s
house.’ The term here applied to
these advanced corps of the enemy
that they were forced from their
ground,’ shows that they were in
arms and resisted the assailants;
and the previous brush with the
picket, a guard always posted in
advance on purpose to give notice
of an enemy’s approach, roused ‘the
light infantry and other troops,’ who
had time enough to take their arms
and form for action. They retreat
ed, of necessity, before the greatly
superior force of the whole right
wing of our Army. But the leaving
of their baggage’ authorizes the in
ference, that they had no knowledge
ofthe march of the American Army,
until the firing in the engagement
with the picket guard gave the
alarm. If, then, these advanced
corps of the enemy were not, in the
strict sense of the word, surprized,
that is, ‘caught napping,’ unprepar
ed for action, much less could the
main body, posted in the centre of
Germantown, two miles farther off
have been surprized. This distance
gave them ample time to prepare
for action, in any manner which the
attack of their enemy should re
quire.
“ You ask, 'at what distance from
Chew's house the attack commen
ced T’ At that time 1 was a stran
ger in that part of the country.—
From my subsequent acquantence
with it,during my residence in Penn
-vlvania,l should estimate the dis
tance of Mount Airy from Philadel
phia. tobe eight miles, Chew’s hmiso
seven and the centre of Ger
mantown six miles. And thes , 1
think, are the distances, as I have
iccasionally heard them mentioned
“ You ask. ‘how long a pause was
made at Chew’s house ; and what
spac* of time probably intervened
between the beginning of the action
and the generel engagement at iWr.
head ofthe village Y The pause ai
Chew’s house, in the manner, I shut
presently mention, probably delayed
the advance of the rear division
our army into action for half c .
hour. And, taking the attack o'
the picket at Mount Airy as the b
ginning ofthe action, it was probabi;
near half an hour before it became
general as to the whole of Sullivan
column ; and this general engagemen.
must have commenced after he hue.
passed Chew's house ; for I saw no
one dead man until I had passed t,
and then but one, lying in the roa 1
near where I fell in with Genera!
Sullivan. I presume that, following
close on the heels of the British ba
talion ofthe light infantry and th
fortieth regiment, which were retii
ing before him, Sullivan, with lii
column, hud passed Chew’s hous
without annoyance from it. For
must have taken some time for Cos •
Musgrave who entered it with six
companies of the fortieth regiment,
to barricade and secure the doc
and the window’s ofthe lower storv,
before he would be ready to lire from
the chamber windows ; and it was
from them that the firing I saw pro
ceeded.
“ In the march of the army, Gen
eral Washington, folio ving Sullivan’
column, kept in the road leading to
and through Germantown to Phila
delphia. When we had entered thr
Nothern part of the village, we heard
in advance of us (I was riding by
the General’s side) a very hcavv
fire of musketry. General Suf;-
vans’s divisions, it was evident were
warmly engaged with the cnemv ;
but neither was in sight. This fire,
brisk and heavy, continuing, Geue
ral Washington said to me, " I am
afraid General Sullivan is throwing
away his amunition; ride forward
and tell him to preserve it.” Ido
not know what was thn precise idea,
which at that moment struck the
mind of the General. I can only
conjecture that he apprehensive that
Sullivan, after meeting the enemy
in his tront, kept up his brisk and in
cessant tire, when the hazmesg of
ttie air, and its increased obscuritv,
irom the burning of so much powder,
prevented his troops having such a
distinct view of the enemy, as would
render tljeir fire efficient. Be that
as it may, the instant I received the
General’s orders. I rode forward, and
n the road, three or four hundred
yards beyond Chew’s house, met
Sullivan, and delivered to him the
General’s orders.
‘ At this time 1 had never heard
of Chew’s house ; and had no idea
that an enemy was in my rear. The
first notice I received of it was from
' lie whizzing of musket balls, a cross
cue road, before, behind, and above
me, as I was returning, after deliver
ng the orders to Sullivan. Instant
turning my eye to the right, I saw
o blaze of the muskets, whose
:ot were still aimed at me, from the
.udow’s of a large stone house,

bouse. Passing on, I came to some
of our art ill ry, who were firing r<
rv obliquely on the front of the hou
I remarked toth< in, that in that p
sition, their fire would be unavailing
and that the only chance of th.
shot making any impression on th
house, would be by moving dow
and firing directly on its front. Th-.
immediately passing on, I rejoine.-
General Washington, who, will.
General Knox and other officers, Ws
m front of a stone house (nearly all
the houses in Germantown were of
slone) next Northward of the open
fields in which Chen’s House stood.
I found they were discussing, in
Washington’s presence, this question:
Whether the whole of our troops then
behind should immediately advance,
regardless of the enemy in Chew’s
house, or first summon them to sur
render 1 General Knox strenuously
urged the sending of a summons
Among othei things, he said, * It
would be unmilitary to leave a cas
tle in our rear.’ I answered, ‘Doubt
less that is a correct general maxim,
but it denes not apply in this case.—
We know the extent of this castle
(Chen ’s house); and to guard against
the danger from the enemy’s sally
ing, and tailing on the rear of our
troops, a small regiment mtfy be post
ed here to watch them ; and if the;?
sally, such a regiment will take care
of them, “But.’l added, ‘to sum
mon them to surrender will be use
less We are now in the midst of
the battle; and its issue is unknown
In this state of uncertainly, and so
well secured as the enemy find them
selves, they will not regard a sum
mons ; they will fire at your flag ’
However, a flag was sent with a
summons. Lieutenant Smith, of
Virginia, my assistant in the office of
Adjutant General, volunteered bis
services to carry it. As he was ad
vancing, a shot from the house gave
him a wound of which h. died.
" Whatever delay,in the advance
ofthe division in our rear, was oc
casioned by the pause at Chew’s
house, I am satisfied that Sullivan’s
< olumn did not halt there at all, as
mentioned by Judge Johi son. The
column was certainly not in sight,
when the General sent me with the
orders already noticed; and it is alike
certain, that it was then beyond
Chew’s house. Nor wero the ene
my forming under cover ofthe house,
r I must have seen them.
“ When the orders were sent to
< ur troops in the rear to advance, I
oo not know, but it must have been
v to the sending of the
hag, and, I should think, twenty
minutes at least after it was found
hat an enemy was in the house.—
Fh General did not pass it at all,
iad remained near him. uhtil our
- oops wer retreating, when I rode
. P to the right, to endeavor to stop
• nd rally those I met retiring, in
companies and squads; but it was
•inpracticable Their ammunition,
: suppose, had generally been cx
mded.
“ 5. In the aforementioned letter
from General Washington to Con
ress, he says, ‘the attack from our
left column under Gen. Greene, be
gan about three quarters of an hour
Iter that from the right.’ You ask
the cause of this. The answer is
avious The right column, und r
. a. Sullivan, which Washington ac
xnpanied. marched on the direct
”.id to Germantown Greene, with
i. column, was obliged to make a
circuit to the left to gain the road
which led to his point of attack. The
columns being thus entirely separat
d, and at a distance from each other
no caclnlations of their commanders
could have insured their arriving at
the same time at their respective
points of attack,
“ Judge Johnson, in his “ Life of
Greene,’ has represented as ' almost
udirrous’ the ‘ scene’exhibited by
some writers, of the discussion, near
Chew’s house, in the presence of
Genera! Washington, in which it is
ranted that opinions were ‘obtruded;’
and that even field officer-, may have
expressed their opin : ons ; ‘but,’ he
adds, 'Gen. WashingFon was listening
to the counsels of tiis own mind and
of general officers.’ I know, how
ever, that he did listen to the dis
cussion ; and Lee, commanding a
troop of horse, on that day on duty
near the General’s person, accounts
for his determination to send the sum
mons. ‘ Knox,’ he says, ‘ being al
ways high in the General’aconfidence
his opinion prevailed.’ Further, I
mu9t remark, that the gent’ll officers
whom the Judge supposes to have
been present, and advising the com
mander in chief, were then in their
proper places, with their general of
ficers, was present. Commanding
in the artillery department, and the
field pieces being distributed among
the brigades of the army, he was al
ways at liberty, in time of action, to
attend the comniauder-in-chief.
S me two or three years since, I
wrote to Judge Johnson, informing
him of his mistakes in the matter no
ticed in this paragraph. Others ot
his details of this battle, which me
iuconsistant with the statements i
have here given to you, must be in
correct. The truth is, that General
Washington, uot sanguine in his own
opinions, and his diffidence being
probably increased by a feeling sense
ol high responsibility, as Commauder
•'i Chief, was ever dispossed, when
a casions occurod, to
officer* wko were near turn, m whose
discernment and fidelity he placed a
infidence ; and certainly his decis
■ ns were often influenced by their
,muons, This is within my knowl
'ge. I am, kc.

The dead leaves strew the forest walks,
And wither’d are the pale wild flowers,
The frost hangs blackening on the stalks,
The dew drops fall in frozen showers.
Gone arc Spring’s green sprouting bowers,
Gone Summer’s rich and mantling vines,
And Autumn tviih her yellow hours,
On hill and plain no longer shines.
I learned a clear and wild tuned note,
That rose and swell’d from yonder treo—
A gay bird with too sweet a throat,
Tliere perch'd and raised her song for me.
The winter comes and where is she ?
Away—where summer wings will rove,
Where buds are fresh, aud every tree
Is vocal witii the notes of love.
Too mild the breath of Southern sky,
Too fresh the flower that blushes tliere,
The Northern breeze that rushes by,
Finds leaves too green, and buns too fair ;
No forest tree stands stript and bare,
No stream beneath the ice is dead,
No mountain top with sleety hair
Bends o’er the snow its reverend head.
Go, there, with all the birds—and seek
A happier clime —with livelier flight ;
kiss, with the sun, the evening's cheek,
And leave me lonely w ith the night.
I'll gaze upon the cold North light,
And mark where all its glories shone—
Sec —that it all is fair and bright,
Feel —that it all is cold and gone.

can easily conceive the trade and industry
which they must bring to Providence.
