Who is Gen. Harrison ? The son of one of the

spent the greater part of his large fi mtune in redeem

Illustriously distinguished in the field.
“ During' the late war, he was longer in active ser
vice than any o'her General officer; he was, per
haps, oftener in action than any one ol them, and
never sustained a defeat.”
James Madison, in a special message to Congress
December 18, 181 i, said,
a While it ts deeply lamented that so many valu
able lives have been lost in the action w hich took
place on the 7th ultimo, Congress will see w ith sat
isfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude victorious
ly displayed by every description of troops engaged,
us well as the collected firmness which distinguished
their commandci on an occasion requiring the uC
most exertions of valor and discipline.
Janies Madison in his Message to Congress. No
vemher, 1812, said,
“ An ample force from the states of Kentucky',
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, is placed, with
the addition of a few regulars, under the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fellow- soldiers, among
w hom are citizens some of them volunteers in the
ranks, not less distinguished by their political sta-
Vions than by their personal merits.”
In Mr. Madison’s message of December Ibid, the
compliment was extended, as follows ;
“ The success on Lake Erie having opened a pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
nuadiag the Northwestern arms, transferred the
war thirl her, and, i apidly pursuing Hie hostile troops
fleeing with thci: savage associates,forced a genets!
action, which quickly terminated in the capture id
the British, and dispersion 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 of praise was paid to Gen
eral Harrison, in 1811, by eleven of the officers who
lought 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 wiih live most pertect confi

From Gen. Harrison s report of the battle of the
Thames: r
“We have suffered greatly for the want of pro

“General Harrison has done more for his coun
try with less com|ieiisation for it, than any man
hviuc.” President Madison.
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November U 3, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said: ,
“ What man lb os, whose whole heart and soul 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 lo the country —he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John 31. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lite of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said ;
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, ana 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 no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
« Harrison and Perry left. Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d ol 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.”

forty j ears he has been identified with its interests,
its perils, and ns fiojies. Universally beloved in
the walks ol peace,and distinguished by his ability
] in the councils ol his country, he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
! late war, he was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, eftner in
action than any one of t hem, and never sustained a
defeat."
Buch 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 ny his gratetul
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 !!

cH a /AfA REWARD. —Runaway from the
subscriber, on the 29th ult., a likely
negro boy named Scott, 18 or 19. years old, 5 feet
10 inches nigh, rather light complexion, looks very
pleasing when spoken to, very intelligent, and re
markably polite in his deportment, spare made and
streight. He took with him, from me, about SIOO
in money', $25 of which was American gold, the
balance in bills of the Planters’ and Mechanics’
Bank of Columbus. Also, a fine gold watch and
chain with square link*. lam inclined to believe
he has been seduced away by some white man, as
he has hitherto been trust worthy and honest as far
as 1 have known.
He tvas raised in Charlotte, N. C., and may
possibly endeavor to get back, but will more pro
bably endeavor to get to a free State, either by
way of Apalachicola or through the up country', as
he has been heard to express a desire to get to j
Ohio or Philadelphia.
I will give the above reward of lour hundred
dollars, for the apprehension of the boy and thief,
and their delivery to me, with sufficient evidence
to convict them, or S2OO lor the boy r and the watch,
or $l5O for the boy a lone, or a proportionate reward
for his confinement in jail, and information so that
I get him- WM. D. LUCAS.

%r. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
College After taking his first degree, he went o
Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able
and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged
the duties of his office 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
pelV affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public, as a man of high moral and Christian
character, and perfectly well quahhed to take

“Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839,
This may certify. That the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington H. 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
gent'eman, highly qualified by bis abilities, attain
ments, and general character, to superintend the
instruction of youth of cither sex in ary of oui
literary institutions. N. W.Piske,
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 responsible 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 fancifui attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical develop* ment ot 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 dilferent country from that in which l.e
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 ot others’ rcasonii g; —
the love of knowledge and a mind well disciplined
and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater
blessing than any amount of knowledge witiiout
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 lite —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 it? 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
thorn—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.oi 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 Institution 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.
