Who is Gen. Harrison ? 'i he son of one of the

and sacred honor,” to secure the liberties of his

_ the history ofthe West, is his history. For forty
years he has been identified with its interests, its
perils and Us hopes Universally beloved in the
walks ol peace, and distinguished by Ins ability in
the councils of his country, he had been yet more
illustriously distingu'shed in the field.
“ During the late war, he was longer in aetive ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
hapH, oitener in action than any one ol them, min
never sustained a defeat. _
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 1811, said, ,
M While it is deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action which took
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 winch distinguished
iheir commondei on an occasion requiring the ut
most exertions of valor and discipline.
James Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vember, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the Stales of Kentucky,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
ol 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 of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :
“ The success on LakeTSrie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
manding the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her,and,tapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with thei: savage associates,forced a general
action, which quickly terminal d in the capture of
the British, and dis}*ersion of the savage force.
“ This result is signally honorable to .Major Gen
eral Harrison , by whose military talents it was pre
pared. ” .
The following tribute ol praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, hj eleven of the officers who
fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca
noe ;
“Should ourcountry 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.’

“ Already is the brow of the young warrior, Cro

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

Gen. Anthony Wa\ne, inliis Letter to the Secre

Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814,
says:
“ I (oe! no hesitation to declare to you that I be
lieve Gen Harrison to be one of the fist military
characters I ever knew."
Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, July
4, 1813,says ;
® “ Wc did not want to seme under cowards or trai
tors ; but under one [Harrison] who had proved him
self to be wise, prudent and brats'."
Commodore Perry’ to tscneral Harrison, August
18, 1817, says:
“ The prompt change made by you in the order of
battle on discovering the position ot the enemy, has
always appeared to me to have evinced a high

Honorable Langdon Chevcs, on the battle of the
@ Thornes.
“ I he victory of Harrison, was such as would have

“ General Harrison 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 lit cs, whose whole heart and soul is
pot British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not teel
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 mu rdf rer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Bnren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his hte of Perry published in
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 :
“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 of the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
actistics ; the disasters attending it having, in n© in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, 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.”
An Eloquent Record.
William Henry Harrison was born in Virginia on
the 9ih of February, 1773.
In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed
by Washington an Ensign in our infant army.

On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished
himself in the battle ot the Miami, and elicited the
most flattering w ritten approbation of Gen Wayne.
In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed
in command of Fort Washington.
In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams,
Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex
offudo Lt. Governor.
“ In 1798, he was chosen a delegate to Congress.
In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana,
and in the same year, President Jefferson appointed

On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste

In 1814, he was ap pointed by Madison one of

and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of

negotiated a treaty at Detroit.
In 1816, he was elected a member of Congress.

and, in 1829, wrote his immortal letter to Bolivar

Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President)thus spoke
in the House of Representatives w hilst a member
of that body :
“Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history. For
forty years he has been identified wdth its interests,
its perils, and hs 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, lie was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer; he was, perhaps, ©finer in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished fame and glory, and standing on a proud
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, “ and deliver
the country from the dangers which encompass it.”
He will be her deliverer !!

VALUABLE LANDS FOR SALE IN
GREENE COUNTY.
WE offer for sale one thousand eight hundred
acres of Land, lying in Greene county, on
Fishing creek, four miles from the Mercer Univer
sity, and five from the Scull Shoals Factory. The

adapted to the culture of cotton and corn, and grain
of all kinds ; and as to health, none more so in
Georgia— well watered—in fact it cannot be beat
for good water and a plenty of it. Should any per
son wish such a settlement, they will of course
lookfor themselves —we therefore deem it unneces
sary to say any thing farther about it. We should
be pleased to sell soon, so as to enable us to make
our other arrangements.

from personal acquaintance, to testify as
su°perior 1 qualilications of Mr. T. The following,
among other testimonials, arc ollered :
“.dr. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
College. After taking his first degree, he went to
Kentucky, where he proved lumselt to be an able
and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged
the duties of hisollice with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since then, he
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary,
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos-
Pe it affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a man of high moral and C hustian
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, 1839.”
“Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1809.
This may certify, That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington 11. Tyler,
bavin* known him as a member of this College, of
which o he is an alumnus, and afterwards as a Tutor
in the College, and since as 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 hy his abilities, attain
menls, and general character, to superintend the
instruction ot youth of either Sv x in at y of out
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 hy Profs.
Yates of Union College, and Joslin ot the New
York University.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly icsponsiblc duties 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 i-r
--ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical devclopcment of all 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, who should receive for his guidance a
map of a different country from that in which he
is to travel.
They will aim at permanent results. The pow
. er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than
1 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 of 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
f enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from
, the danger of being injuriously involved in sash
• ionablc dissipation, or being too early occupied
■ with distracting domestic cares and avocations.
I 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 in 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 two Sessions, of four and a half months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day
of June.
It is every way desirable that pupils should enter
at the commencement of the Term; they will,
however, be received at any period of the Term,
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
The Institurion will be open five days of the
week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a m.
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 double post
age upon the part of Postmasters.
