Universally beloved in the walks ol peace, and distinguished hy his ability in the councils of his country, he had been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field. “ During' the late war, he was longer in active ser vice than any other General officer; he was, per haps, ollener 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 took place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see wuh sat isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious ly displayed by every description of troops engager!, as well a* the collected firmness which distinguished their commandei 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 Slates of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with the addition of a few regulars, under the command of Brigadier General Hairison, 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 : “ 'Hie success on Lake Erie having opened a pas sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com maiding the Northwestern arms, transferred the war thirlher,and,tapidly pursuing the hostile troops fleeing with then savage associates,forced a general action, which quickly vermmat d in the capture of the British, and dispersion of the savage force.^ “ This result is signally honorable to Major Gen eral Harrison, hy whose military talents it was pre pared." The following tribute of praise was paid to Gen eral Harnson, in 1811, bj eleven of the officers who fought under his banner at the battle of Tippeca noe . “Should our country 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.” JOEL COOK. 11.

Harnson is the first of the two Message of Simon Snyder, Governor of Penn sylvania, December 10, 1813 “ Already u the brow ot the young warrior, Cro ghan, encircled with laurels, and the blessings of thousands of women and children rescued from the scalping knife ot the ruthless savage of the wilder ness, and from the slid more savage Proctor, rest on Harnson ami his gallant army.” In the legislatureof Indiana, on ihe 12th Nov. 1811, the f peaker ot the House of Representatives, m Gen. W m Johnston, thus addressed »eneral Harri son. “Sir—The House of Representatives of the In diana territory, in their own name, and in behalf of their constituents, most cordially reciprocate Ihe congratulations of your Excellency on the glorious result of the late sanguinary conflict with the Shaw nee Prophet, and the tribes ot Indians confederated with him; when wo see displayed in behalf of our country, not only the consummate abilities of ® the general, but the heroism of the man ; and when w e take into view the benefits which must result to that country from those exertions, we cannot, for a moment, w ithhold our raced ol applause.” Legislature o f Kentucky, January 7, 1812. “ Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre -9 tatives of the Stated Kentucky, in the late cam paign against tue Indians upon the Wabash, Gov. William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a patriot and a general; and that for his cool, delib erate, skilliil and gallant conduct in the battle of Tippecanoe, he will deserve the warmest thanks of his country and his nation. Gen. Anthony Wa\ ne, in his Letter to the Secre tary of War,giving an official account of his san guinary Indian Battle, in 1792, said : “My faithful and gallant Lieutenant Harrison rendered the most essential service, by communica @ tine niy orders in every direction, and by his con duct and bravery, exciting the troops to press for victory.” Resolution directing the madals 'struck, and,Jto he logether w ith the thanks of Congress, presented to Major General Harrison, and Gov.

H. Cr.AY, Speaker of the House o Representatives. John Gaillard, President of the Senate, pro tempore, April 4, ISlS.—Approved, James Monroe. Gov. Shelby to Mr. Madison, May 18, 1814, says: “ I lee! no hesitation to declare to you that I be lieve Gen. Harnson to be one of the first military characters I ever kneic." Col. Richard M. Johnson to Gen. Harrison, Jaly 4, 1813, says: “ We did not want to serve under cowards or trai tors ; but under one [ Harrison ] who had proved him self to be wise, prudent and brave." Commodore Perry to General Harrison, August IS, 1817,says: “ The prompt change made by you in the order of battle on discovering the position ot the enemy, lias always appeared to me to have evinced a high DEGREE OF MILITARY TALENT. 1 COHC tr WlTl the venerable Shelby in his general approbation of your conduct in that campaign.” Honorable Laugdon Cheves, on the battle of the ‘Thames. “ The victory of Harrison, was such as would have secured to a Roman General in the best days of the Republic, the honors of a triumph ! He put an end to the War in the Uppermost Canada." Sentiments of the Hero of Fort Stephenson, Col. Croghan : *• 1 desire no plaudits which are bestow ed upon rae at the expense of General Harnson. “ I have hit the wannest attachment for him a« a man, and my confidence in him as an ablecomman- ( der remains unshaken. lied every assurance that he will at ail times do me justice; and nothing could give me more pain than to see his enemies 1 seize upon this occasion to deal out their unfriendly feelings and acrimonious dislike ; and so long as he '■ continues (as in ray humble opinion lie hss hither- < to done'tom ake the w isest arrangements and the most judicious disposition, which the forces under 1 his command will justify, I shall not hesitate to untie with tne army in bestowing upon nim tnat 1 «**»*♦«> wl “ ch h “ ' on no occasion been w ithbelc. The Richmond Enquirer said ; “Gen Harrison’s letter tells us everything that we wish to know about the officers, except himself. He does justice to every one but Harrison— and the world must therefore dojustice to the man who wa-s too modest to be just to himself.” from Gen. Harrison’s report of the battle of the Thames : , c “We have suffered greatly for the want of pro visions, and the whole army has subsisted, for the last three days, on raw beef without salt. SPjT “ In all ages, and in all countries, it has been observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those who are the least willing to part with their ngnts, and submit themselves to the will ot a master. Wm.H Harrison. tKr“THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES May they ever remember that to preserve their liberties, they must do their own '’ ot '"g aiK * l " eir own fighting J W « H Harrison. “General Harnson has done more for his coun try with less compensation for it, than any man living.” President Madison. Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23,1813, in the New Hampshire Patriot said : “ What man liv cs, whose whole heart and sou! is not 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 —lie possesses the spirit of a murderer.” John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov. in Connecticut, in his life 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 , anil 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 of Gen. Harrison; and, indeed, all the events of the campaign support these char ac lis lies ; the disasters attending it having, in no in stance, been imputable to him. “ There are perhaps on record fe’v instances ol 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 9th of February, 1773. In 1791, when 19 years of age, he was appointed by Washington an Ensign in our infant army. in 1792, he was promoted to the rank of Lieu tenant : and in 1793, joined the legion under Gen. Wayne,and in a lew days thereafter, was selected by him as one of his Aids. On the 24th of August, 1794, he distinguished himself in the battle ot the Miami, and elicited the most flattering written approbation of Gen Wayne. In 1795, he was made a Captain, and was placed in command of Fort V\ ashington. In 1797, he was appointed, by President Adams, Secretary of the North-western Territory and ex ojficio Lt. Governor.

In 1801, he was appointed Governor of Indiana, and in the same year, President JefiTer>on appointed him sole Commissioner for treating with the In dians. In 1809, he was re-appointed Governor of Indi ana by Madison. On the 7th November, 1811, he gained the great victory of TIPPECANOE On the 11th September, 1812, he was appointed by Madison, Commander-m-Chief of the North western array. On the Ist May, 1813, the seigo of Fort .Meigs commenced—lasted five days, and was terminated by the brilliant and successful sortie of Goa. Har rison. On the 31st July, 1813, the battle of Fort Ste phenson occurred. On the sih October, 1813, he gained the splendid victory of the THAMES, over the British and In diana under Proctor. In 1814, he was appointed by Madison one of the Commissioners to rear with the Indians, and in the same year, with his colleagues Gov. Shelby and Gen. Cass, concluded the celebrated treaty of Greenville. hi 1815, he was again appointed such Commis sioner, with Gen. McArthur and Mr. Graham, and negotiated a treaty at Detroit. In 1816, ho was elected a member of Congress. In January, 1818, he introduced a resolution in honor of Kosciusko, and supported it in one of the most feeling, classical and eloquent speeches ever delivered in the House of Representatives. In 1819, he was elected a member of the Ohio Senate. in 1824, he was elected Senator in Congress, and was appointed, in 1825, Chairman of the Mili tary Committee,in place of Gen. Jackson, who had resigned. In 1827, he was appointed Minister to Colombia, and, in 1829, wrote bis immortal letter to Bolivar the deliverer of South America. Os him Col. Johnson (Vice President) thus spoke in the House ol Representatives whilst a member of that body : “Os the career of Gen. Harrison, I need not speak—the history of the west is his history Fur forty years he has been identified with its interests, its penis, and us hopes. Universally beloved in the walks of peace, and distinguished hy his ability in the cour.ciis of his country,he has been yet more illustriously distinguished in the field. During the late war. he was linger 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 ami glory, and standing on a proud and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy can assail him, is now' summoned ny 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 !!

Our Ware house and close-stores are in good order for the re ception of produce or Merchandize, and strict at tention will be devoted to cither when entrusted to our care. BAIRD & ROW LAND.

Tyler, having known him as a member of this College, of which 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 by his abilities, attain ments, and general character, to superintend the instruction ot youth ot either sex in ary ot oui literary institutions. N. W. !■ iske, Prof. Int. and Mor. Phi’y.” Mrs. T. is amply recommended by the Principals of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs. Yates of Union College, and Joslin of the .New York University. The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge of the highly icsponsible 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 er ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former requires the symmetrical devolopcment 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 .111 which he is to travel. They will aim at permanent results. The pow er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than any number of the results of others’ reasonii g; — the love of knowledge and 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 enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from the danger of being injuriously involved in fash ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied with distracting domestic cares and avocations. 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 ou the last day of June.

The Institurion will be open five days of the week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a m. to 3 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 older to anticipate errors of double post age upon the part of Postmasters.
