* m 0 CHRONICLE AND? SENTINEL. . « ——■ AUGUSTA. TUESDAY MORNING MARCH 10. ffj* See first page daily paper, dj* No mail North of Richmond last night. Health of the City. A report, we understand, has gained a circula tion in many parts ot the coqn.ry, that the city is very unhealthy, and in som? instances has been so exaggerated as to induce the impression on the minds of the credulous, that the fatal epidemic of the last autumn is prevailing to an alarming ex tent. What could have influenced any one to give currency t& such an unfounded rumor we know not. for certainly nothing could be more false. When we were first advised of the exis tence of the report, wc supposed the good sense of the people would at once |discountenance it; but since we have heard of? its spreading still more, and gathering more alarming features in its progress, we notice it, to say to those who desire to visit the city either on business or pleasure, that the city was never more healthy, or at least so say those who have the b»?st means of know ing. For our own part, we fjave been in the city now near two months, and vis have not seen a funeral or even heard of a casjp of sickness of any kind whatever. Judge Burnell’* We give place to-day to aji extract from the speech of Judge Burnett, of'Ohio, delivered in the Harrisburg Convention, af,er the nominations were made for President and Vice President. It is a brief sketch of the life and character of Gen. Harrison, by one who has byen intimate with him forty years. And to thjise of our readers who feel any wish to become familiar with his history, it is a document of no ordinary interest. Lectures on Natural Science. In another part of this day’s paper will be found the advertisement of Mr. Richards, wtio proposes to deliver a course of Lectures on natural sci ence, in the Masonic Hall. Mr. R. informs us that his apparatus is entirely new, very extensive and complete, and much of it was made with especial reference to lecturing This popular manner of imparting information in the various branches of science, has received al most universal approbation in the larger cities both in this country and Europe, and when pro perly conducted, cannot fail to instruct and inter est an audience. 1 Mr. R. proposes to give a gratuitous introduc tory lecture on Thursday eventing, in the course of which he will introduce sonje interesting ex periments, and respectfully solicits the attenaance of the citizens. Pennsylvania. 1 he following article from the Philadelphia National Gazette piesents, in a brief manne., the distress which will overwhelm t!-is noble State, if the dustructive policy of a portion of her legis lators be carried out. The consequences will be such, as even those who witnessed the scenes in the days of continental money, cannot imagine* To us it is passing strange thajt men, endowed with ordinary intelligence, can contemplate the ruinous consequences of such a measure, with, out shrinking with horror from Hts adoption. It certainly surpasses any measure, in its destruc tive character, of which we have ever heard in the annals of legislative history! in this country. And if the consequences of it* adoption could fall alone on those whose madness and folly have led them step by step to this ruthless disregard of the welfare of the people of the State, it would be matter of gratulation rather than regret. But this will not be the case. The ruin •which will be produced, will be wide, and will engulph alike the rich and the poor. We how ever nope, that the bill has not, and will not pass, but should our hopes be disappointed, and we confess wc have reason to fear such a result, the only ark of safety for the people, the institutions and currency of Pennsylvania, is in the veto of the Governor. And if he shall possess sufficient moral courage to arrest the destructive measures of the 5 gislature when passed, he will desene as he will receive the heartfelt gratitude of a gen erous and grateful people. \ The resumption bill is this day the order of the day in the House of Representatives. Si.ould it pass in its present shape, and receive the Go vernor’s signature, the consequence will be Either a forcible closing of, or voluntary as signment by, many of the banks. The notes or other obligation* of individuals which they hold for money loaned, will as a matter of course be put in suit. a;id the property of the drawers, on judgments beijng obtained, be sold by the sheriff. \ 'The numerous branches of business, mechan ical, manufacturing and mercantile now assisted or sustained by loans from bank], will be arrest ed or whollv prostrated, and the I,any thousands of industrious men employed bij the principles be turned adnll without the meatfs ofsubsistence for themselves ami families. j These are the first effects whfch must follow •any forced or do tractive actuh in relation to the banks, or more properly spiking, the cur rency. From these must flow a wide spread in o tide of distress which will overw helm in a coin” mon ruin rich and poor alike, anil he who does not forsee these evils from the ami career which our legislature is now running, must be ignorant of the first principles of the system of credit which is allied to the best rewards of industry and tfie most prosperous course |>f trade. From the Savannah Georgian iif Saturday. From Florida. | By the steamer Isis, Capt-Chads, we yesterday afternoon received the Jacksonville Advocate of 1 uesday last. It contains no Imjian news. The following is an extract of ti letter dated Garey s terry, March 4, with vjhich we have been politely furnished. j “1 he Luba dogs have proved ruite beneficial.

From the Correspondence of the Charleston Courier, we dip the following extract, as being the onlv item of interest from Washington, since our last notice of their proceedings. 1 his intel ligence however, has not come upon us without being anticipated. Washisgtox, March 3. After my letter of yesterday was closed, (and the mail closes now between 4 and 6,) a very in teresting discussion arose in the Senate. After Mr. Fulton finished, Mr. Webster arose and re plied to that part of Mr, Calhoun’s speech which related to the Tariff, and which was addressed ( articularly to the North. He controverted Mr. Calhoun’s doctrines as so the effect of the Tariff upon the interests of the staple States, and main tained that the country was never so happy and prosperous as it was under the protective system. Mr. Calhoun replied and reiterated his arguments, but expressed his disposition to meet the question in a spirit of conciliation, and to re-adjust the Tariff with a view to all the great interests of the country. It is plain, from many indications, that the protective Tariff, and a very high one, will soon be re-established. Routing the Gamblers. — A Vicksburg pa per of the 13th ult., says:—There was a great hubbub the night before last in this city. Our city authorities, resolved to drive out the gamblers, brought up one P. J. Hearn, before the Mayor. He had been keeping a faro table in a room at the Southern House for two weeks, and Marshal George found him out. He was brought up and ordered to jail, in default of security for 3000 dollars, when he made his escape by giving “leg bail.” Officer Shockney fired after him twice, when he fell, and was caught and lodged in jail. The Southrons turned out to protect the city from a mob; all was soon restored to peace and quietness. A warning is given to those not ar rested to “mizzle.” The editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel, after ex tracting the article relative to Uurgoine, killed in an affray in the second municipality, some time since, and whose heart, on examination by Dr. Ker, was found occupying the right cavity of the thorax, observes:—“Wc met with a similar case in this city, in February of 1837. It was the case ot a friend to whom we had been for years much attached, the late R. B. Adams, a native of Phil adelphia. He had longsutfered under pulmonary consumption, but flattered himself tliat his disease was liver complaint, and that he would ultimately recover. During his last illness he requested us to make a post mortem examination of him, which we did, and we found h s heart in the right cavity of the thorax.—iV. O. Bee. The Vicksburg Sentinel of the 29th Feb. says that the city of Cairo, at the mouth of the Ohio, is entirely inundated. Extracts from the speech of Judge Burnett of Ohio, giving a brief history of the life and character of Gen. Harrison. It is, no doubt, expected, sir, that the delega tion of Ohio will say something on this occasion in common commendation of their favorite son, on whom this Convention has just bestowed one among the highest honors to which the ambition of man can aspire, a unanimous nomination for the first office in the gift of a free and powerful nation. I hope, sir, I shall not he charged with vanity when I say that I have been his intimate companion and friend for more than forty years. The free and continued intercourse that has ex isted between us for so long a period, must ne cessarily enable me to speak with some confi dence as to his character, acquirements, and course of life. He is a native of the “Old Dominion,” and is an honor to the State which gave him birth. He is a son of Governor Harrison of Virginia, who was a patriot of the Revolution, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, procla med by the Continental Congress in 1776—by which solemn act he pledged “ his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor,” to maintain that declaration, i and he nobly redeemed his pledge. His son of whom I now speak, inherited from his Maker an anient, active, penetrating mind—far, very far, above mediocrity. That mind has been im proved by a classical education, under the best instructors of that day ; it has been stored with valuable and useful knowledge, literary, scien tific and historical. \ou can scarcely name an important subject on which he has not read and reflected, and on which he cannot write and con verse with facility and clearness. He is a good belles lettres scholar, a ready, correct and strong writer, and must be ranked wherever he is i known, in the class of men who are most distin ! guished for improved and cultivated intellect. In the finer qualities of the heart, no man can justly claim a preference. To borrow the strong expressive language of my friend, Governor Met” calf, “Harrison has an expanded heart, and it is always in the right place.” Though brave as Na polean, he has much of the milk of human kind ness. Benevolence, and a desire to better the condition of the whole human family, predomi nate in his soul, and are constantly forcing them selves into action. In dress, he is plain, and i unostentatious—in manners, affable and unas suming. \V hen seen engaged on his farm, which 1 18 lns dai, y employment, and necessarily follow j ed to obtain his daily bread, you cannot distin guish him by the appearance of his dress, from any of his brother farmers who are laboring in the vicinity. His l.ouse is open to all, and its hospitalities free for all, whether high or low, rich or poor. It is notan exaggeration when I say believe, me. sir, it is not poetry or fiction, when i I §a y< he had hu.one dollar, he would not, be cause he could not, rei e to divide it with a fi end in distress. In politics, he has always been a Democratic Republican of the school of Washington, Jeffer son and Madison ; he detests the agrarian, infi del pr nciples that the spoils belong to the victors and that an executive or ministerial officer of gov ernment may assume the icsponsihility of con struing the Constitution and laws of the country for selfish or party purposes. I liese statements, sir, are not surmises, nor are they taken on trust—they are gathered from his long life of civil and military service, and have been seen by all who have observed him. ei her at the head ot the army—in the gubernatorial chair—in the halls of legislation, or in a diplon a j tic station. In 1791, this distinguished >on of the venera ble signer of the Declaration oflndcpendence was . engaged in the study of medicine, under the care ot Dr. Rush, of Phi adelphia. Hearing of the murders committed by the Indians, on the de fenceless inhabitants ot the Northwestern fron | tier * he resolved to go to their relief. At his re quest, his guardian and friend. Robert Morris, of revolutionary memory, obtained for him from President \\ ashington, an ensigney in the army otthe L. bL With this parchment in his pocket, -n o *fM eJ . t °. Cincinnali ’ but did reach it till St. Uair had marched into the Indian country; by which Providential event he was not on the bloody held wnere so many of his fellow-officers and soldiers found a premature grave. The first tour of military duty lie performed, was in the succeeding winter when he marched through the snow on foot at the head of his detachment? with his knapsack upon his back, to the fatal’battle field to inter the bones of the slain. This was his first military service. We find him after wards in 1774 an Aid-de-camp of the gallant Wayne, distinguishing himself in the battle at the Rapids of the Maumee, where, for his brave ry and good conduct, hr received ibe thanks of the Gommander-in-Chief, communicated to the army in general orders. In 1795 he was enga ged in making the tr aty of Grenville, under the superintendence of Gen. Wayne, which termina ted the Indian war. He was soon after appoin ted Commandant of Fort Washington, and had the management of the public property, chiefly collected at that post. Early in 1798, the object being accomplished, which prompted him to join the army, he resign ed his commission and removed to his farm. The next military enterprise in which we find him engaged, was the expedition to Tippecanoe, i The treaty which he had then recently made 1 with the Indian tribes had been violated. Te . cuinseh, admitted by all, to be the mosts ntrepid f warrior, and the most talented chief ot the age, • had prevailed on the tribes who were parties to i that treaty, to refuse its execution, and for the purpose of insuring the success of his project, , was attempting to form a union among all the tribes from the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. He had visited the Northern tribes and had secured their co-operation, and was negotiating with j those of the South for the same purpose. Har rison, who was aware of his plan, and that he was actually engaged in the successful execution of it. was not idle. He communicated the facts to Mr. Madison ; stating what would be the con sequence of permitting it to be completed. The President promptly placed the fourth regiment under the command of Harrison, then Governor of Indiana, ordered him raise four hundred vol unteers, and proceed to the Indian country. The order was so promptly obeyed, that our gallant little army of 800 men arrived at Tippecanoe, be fore Tecumseh had arrived fora the South. When Harrison reached the settlement, twelve hundred warriors had already assembled. He sent for the Chiefs ; they came to the camp ; he told them their Great Father had not sent him to fight, but to settle their complaints amicably; and he invited them to meet him in Council ; they promised to do so the next day, and then return to their village. As soon as they were gone, he told his officers he knew from their lan guage and behavior that they intended to attack him before morning. Confident that this was the council they meditated, he encamped his ar my in order of battle, and directed his men to lie down with their clothes on. and their arms at their sides. His predictions soon became history ; an hour or two before day, in a dark foggy night the attack v\ s made with great fury. The con flict lasted nearly two hours, and until day light enabled him to see the position of tlie Indians, when a vigorous charge was ordered which ter minated in their defeat and dispersion. The ar my then marched to the village and destroyed it. W r e may safely affirm, that this was the first in stance in which American troops have sustained themselves against a superior force of Indians in a n ght attack of two hours continuance. As a fruit of this victory, the treaty was preserved and the peace and safety of the frontier secured. It was from this battle, so important to the Gov ernment and people of Indiana, and so brilliant in the mode of its achievement, against a desper ate foe, that General Harrison derived the appel lation of the “Hero of Tippecanoe.” The savages on the frontier of Indiana, having been thus defeated and scattered, and Governor Harrison .tearing that they were taking scalps and breaking up the settlements on the lionlier of Ohio, resigned his commission as Governor, and superintendent of Indian Affairs, together with their emoluments, repaired to Cincinnati, and volunteered in our defence. In a few months he succeeded in scattering the savages on cur borders; a part of them he drove to the lakes, and the residue he compelled to remove to a place of safety within our settlements. By this opera tion. the settlers on our frontier were relieved from danger, and hundreds who had fled to the den-er settlements of the State for protection, returned to their improvements and occupied them in safety. A person who has not an accurate knowledge of the condition of the Northwestern portion of Ohio, at the time of the late war. when it was an unbroken wilderness without inhal itanls, other than aborigines—without roads, bridges, Cnees, I or improvements of any kind, cannot form an idea o! the difficulties Gencr 1 Harrison encoun- I tered, in feeding, sustaining and keeping together his army. Ihe difficulties and perplexities which beset him during all his campaigns are known to but few, and cannot he justly appreciated by any ; yet by unceasing activity and by the efforts of his powerful mind, he overcame them all. But it is impossible io dwell on minutiae—a volume would not contain the half of such a detail. Pressed down by all these difficulties, he kept the field ; lie never despaired for a moment; and such was the confidence reposed in his bravery and skill by both officers and soldiers, that their spirits never flagged—their hopes never sunk. It is not generally known that the fleet built at Erie, by which the command of the Lakes was obtained, was a project recommended by General Harrison, and that it was adopted by Mr. Madison, in consequence of his unbounded' confidence in the prudence and sound judgment of him who proposed it. Before the period of which I am now speaking, General Harrison had been ap pointed a Major General in the militia of Ken tucky, by a law of that State, and had been ap pointed a Major General in the army of the U. States, by Mr. Madison. Passing over a multitude of affairs of smaller moment, let rne point your attention to the mem orable siege of Fort Meigs; that work of defence, consisting of a mud ( mbankment, and an enclo sure of piquets, was defended triumphantly and successfcUy by about a thousand men, for many days, (it I mistake not, seven or eight,) against ! lof Proctor, commanded an army i of British and Indians, at least four times the I number of the besieged, which was furnished with all the material necessary for the occasion, j Such was the kill, the br»vny, and the imlefa i tlgahle e f[ ts of Harrison-such was the i success of the repeated sallies ne made, that he compelled the enemy to abandon the siege in crpau. It is worthy of remark, that on the second day of the attack, Proctor C u. an officer with a flag to demand the surrender of the post. | Phe grounds of this demand were that the Amer lean force was too weak to def*nd the works and n thJ h^° Ver p helmmff f ° rCe ° f ,he Riegers, and that Gen. Proctor was anxious to save the 1 e*. sion of blood. The intrepid Gen. Harrison I P ro,n l ,t| y replied : “If Gen. Proctor knows the usages of wai, as I am bounu to believe he does he must either have considered rne ignorant of them, or he must have intended an insult It was his duty to make the demand before he c-om tnenced firing on the works.— But sir (said he') go hack and tel your General that I know own force and his, and that I shall defend the works tothe last extremity. Tell him, further that if he ever possesses the Fort, he shall obtain it » away that will give him more honor in " estimation of his Government than he could de rive from a thousand surrenders.” Another incident is also worthy of no , ice . After the enemy had retired, a number of Indian who had left them, came into the Fort and stated that a contract had been entered into between Proctor am Tecumseh, that as SO o n as the fort surrendered, which they considered inevitable Harrison should be given up to the Indians, to be disposed of as they might see nroner H replied : -Then den nei er'™ soldier, nor a man. But if i, sha „ ever ( , * toe o surrender lo me, his life shall be but I will dress him .n a petliepat, and eeliver h„n io the squaws as being unworthy to ass,,, ciate with men. On this slory, fou „j. ed an infamous slander on Gen. Harrison and a base insult to the ladles of Chillicolhe. fal.Hr.lcd by a person whose name I will not st.op to men tion, and published by the administration press. i It was not long af-er the successful defence of this Fort, that our honored nominee led his vic torious army into Fort Malden, recaptured De troit, and the Territory surrendered by the un fortunate Hull, and pursuing the enemy to the Thames, subdued the United forces of Proctor and Tecumseh, and captured the entire British army ! The war having been thus gloriously termin ated in his own district, Harrison repaired to Erie, and tendered his services to the army op erating in that quarter. Unfortunately the Se cretary of War was there, who felt some private griefs unredressed, and was mo eover envious of the laurels which Gen. Harrison had so dearly and justly won, being unwilling to see another added to the wreath, he oidered him to repair to Ohio, where he had no further duty to perform, having already brought the war to a close in that quarter. 'Phe ordei was obeyed. He returned to his family, and immediately resigned his com mission, declaring that he could not honestly eat the bread of the Government when he was de nied the privilege of rendering service in return. Here, sir, terminated, forever, the brilliant milita ry career of a hero who had won many victoiies but never lost a battle. Now, sir, look at this distinguished man in a political and private life. Time forbids to do more than name the stations he has filled. When he resigned his first commission, which was given him by the “ Father of his country,” he was appointed Secretary to the North-Western Territory. The Governor being then absent, he was ex-oj/irio acting Governor, and vested with all the executive power of the territory, which he executed with great prudence, and to the satis faction of the Government and people. In 1779, the Territorial Legislature, (myself being one of them.) appointed him the delegate to represent the Territory in the U. S. Congress. His elec tion had been opposed by a numerous class of men, who had purchased land from his fatner-in law. and had settled on, and improved it. They had failed to obtain a title from the vendor, and were at the mercy of Congress, liable to be dis possessed moment. They wished to’obtain pre-emption rights and other indulgences. It was the interest and anxious desire of the vendor to defeat their object. On this account they en treated the Legislature not to appoint Mr. Har rison, believing that he would be governed by views of his fa;her-in-law, and oppose their claims. He was, notwithstanding, chosen, and to the sur piise of those men, he volunteered in their cause, and though against his own ultimate interest, he procured for them, the boon they were so anxious to obtain. At the same session he procured the passage of an act, requiring the public lands to be sur veyed and sold in small tracts. Under the for mer laws it was impossible for a poor man to be come a purchaser from Government-—he was compelled to purchase from the speculator, at an advanced price. But by the amendment, every poor man in the nation, if industrious, might be come a freef.olders; and sir, it is public history, that thousands of thousands have become so, and every emigrant who now removes to the West, from any part of the Union, has the same privi lege.—The benefit which has been derived by the industrious poor, from that successful effort of Gen. Harrison, is beyond the power of num bers to compute. Having accomplished these .mportanl objects in Congress, he resigned his seat, and was appointed Governor of Indiana. He administered that Government twelve years, with such ability, benignity and success that all that portion of its present population, who resid ed there, under his administration, look upon him, as the political father of their state. We next find him representing the people in the Legislature of Ohio —then in the House of Representatives of the United States—afterwards in the Senate of United States—and lastly we see the Ambassa dor of his Government, at the Court of the haughty Bolriar. In ail these sections he has received from the Government and the people, the plaudit of • well done, good and faithful seivant’ —and it may be added, this has been his only re ward. Suffer me to say here, that it is the settled and publicly expressed opinion of Gen. Harrison, that no man, however great, wise, and good, should be re-elected President of the United States. To the prevalence of the opposite, opin ion, he ascribes most of the corruption and strife, which have agitated and disgraced the nation— and I add, that if elected, he will enter on the du ties ot the office, having no griefs to avenge and no obligations to fulfil, in relation to individ uals. And now, sir, what more can I add—l have at tempted to throw a ray of light on the almost for gotten life of one of the most useful, virtuous and patriotic citizens our country ever produced. From an intimate and confidential acquaintance with him, ot more than forty years standing I can s| eak ex cathedra. The single fact, that ai er he has held all these offices, with abundant opportunities of accumulating wealth, at the ex pense of his country, he has retired to private j b! comparatively poor, is enough to place him j on a level with Aristides’ I Had he nothing to complain of the blighting negligence of his own government, that has com : pelled him, Cin.mnatus-like, to labor at the i plough, tor the bread which feeds his family, it might be endured. But sir, it is not so : malice has assailed his character, and thousands who know him not, have innocently yielded to it heir assent. An attempt to refute charges against his bravery would be as insulting to him as it would be ridiculous in the eyes of the world. nsinuations have been made injurious to his moral character .- those who know him personal 1} smile at the folly ot such efforts— and let me say to all others, that a man of purer moral cha racter does not n ’it our laud. When everv thing tails they proclaim, at the top of th./r voices, he is an imbeci'e old man. Sir, I had he p easure of taking him by the hand the morn wh; I 1 i P | home- scarcely a week passes in ich I do not see and converse with him, and let me assure you and this assembly, and the American people, that Ins mind is as vigorous as active and as discriminating as it was i„ t fam e ! ndian of his days; that he enjoys fine health I , and ® U the bod,l - v v 'g°r and activity which be’ lon g to a man of sixty-five or sixty-six.
