body ofthe army was disbanded at Newburab, and
Sewerah aolmem were bidding a parting farewell
to each other, LleutoCol, Cochran, an aged solder of
theKew Haxnpehlre line, remarked, with tears
eyes, as he shook hands with tho Baron:
7 " por myself, I coaid stand it t but my wife and

*ltthne of the Rhode Island regiments were several
companies of black troops who had served through
the whole war, and their bravery and discipline were
unsurpassed. The Baron observed one of these poor
negroeaon tho wharf, at Newburgh, apparently in
neat distress.
“What to the matter, brother soldier t”
“ Why, master Baron, I want a dollar to got home
with, now the Congress has no further use for me.”
The Baron was absent for a few moments, and then
returned with a silver dollar whloh ho had borrowed.

These are'only single illustrations ofcondition

Ington Escrwaa v4*w •* tbouUwe of his farewell ad
dress to the army at BoCky Hill, in November, 1793:
“ And being now about to conclude these, his last
R nblio orders, to take his nltlmate leave in a short
meofthd military character, and to bid a final adieu
to the armies he has so long had the honor to com
mand,’he can only again oner, in their behalf, bis
recommendations to their oountry, aud his prayer to
the God of armies.”
*• May ample justice be dono them here, and may
the choicest Of heaven’s favor, both here and hereaf
ter, attended those who, nnder divine auspices, have
seonrod Innumerable blessings for others.’ r
“ With these wishes and this benediction, the Com-
mander-in-Cbief to about to retire from service. Tho
curtain of separation will soon be drawn, and the
military scenes to him will be closed forever.”
The closing of the “military scenes” lam about
to relate.
New York bad been occupied by Washington on
the 25th of November. A few days afterwards, bo
notified the President of Congress—which body was
then in session at Annapolis, in Maryland—that as
the war had now closed, ho should consider it his
duty to proceed thence and surrender to that body
the commission which ho had received irom them
seven years before.
Tho morning of tho 5th of December, 1783, was a
sadandheavy one to the remnant of tho American
army in the city of New York. Tho noon of that day
was to witness the farewell of Washington—ho was
to bid adieu to his military comrades forever. The
offleors who had been with him in solemn council,
the private who had fought and bled in the “ heavy
fight,” under his orders, were to hear his commands
• no longer. The manly form and dignified counten-
, ance or the “great captain ’’was henceforth to live
in their memories.
As the hour of noon approached, the whole garri-
son at tho request of Washington himself, was put
in motion, ana marched down Broad street to Fran
cis’ tavern, his headquarters. Ho wished to take
leave of private Boldiers alike with tho officers, and
bid them all adiu. His favorite light Infantry were
drawn up in the line facing inwards, through Pearl
street, to tho foot of Whitehall, where a barge was In
readiness to convey him to Powlo’s Hook.
Within the dining room of tho tavern were gather
ed the Generals ana field officers to tako their fare
well
Assembled there were Knox, Green, Clinton. Steu
ben, Gates, and others, who had served with him
faithfully aud truly In the “ tented field but alas i
where were others that bad entered the war with
him seven years before? Their bones crumbled in
the soil from Canada to Georgia. Montgomery bad
S ielded up his life at Quebec, Wooster fell at Dan-
ury, Woodhull was barbarously murdered while a
f irisoner at the battle on Long Island, and Mercer
ell mortally woonded at Princeton; tho brave and
chivalrio Laurens, alter displaying the most heroio
courage in the trenches of Yorktown, died in a tri
fling skirmish in South Carolina; the brave but ec
centric Lee was no longer living,and Putnam, like a
helpless child was..Btretched upon tho bed of sick
ness. Indeed, the battle field and time bad thinned
the ranks which entered with him in tho conflict of
Independence.
Washington entered tho room—the hour of separa
tion had come. As he raised bis eye and glanced on
tho faces of those assembled, a tear coursed down
his chcok, and his vqice was tremulous as he saluted
them. Nor was he alone. Men “ albeit, unused to
the melting flood,” stood around him, whose uplifted
hands to cover their brows, told that tho tear, whioh
they in vain attempted to conceal, bespoke the an
guish they coaid not hide.
After a moment’s conversation, Washington called
for a glass of wine. It was brought him. Turning
to the officers, he thus addressed them:
“ With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now
tako ray final leave or you. I most devotedly wish
your latter days may bo as prosperous and happy as
your former ones have been glorious and honorable.”
Ho tbeu raised tbe glass tools lips, and added, “ I
, cannot come to each of you to tako my leave, but
shall bo obliged to you Ir each of you will take mo

by tbe hand.'
Goneral Knox, who stood nearest, burst into tears,
and advanced, incapable of utterance. Washington
grasped him by the nand, and embraced him. The
officers came up successively and took an affectionate
leave. No words were spoken, but all was tho “si
lent eloquence of tears.” What were more words at
suchasceno? Nothing. It was tho feeling of tbe
heart—thrilling though unspoken.
When the last officer had embraced him, Washing
ton left the room, followed by his comrades, and pass
ed through tbe line of light infantry. His step was
slow and measured, his head uncovered, and tears
flowing thick and fast, as he looked from side to side
at the veterans to whom he now bid adien forever.—
Shortly an event occurred more touching than ail tho
rest. A gigantic soldier who had stood by his side
at Trenton, stepped forth from tho ranks and extend
ed his hand.
“ Farewell, my beloved General, farewell.”
Washington grasped bis band, In convulsive emo
tion in both of bis. All disclplino was now at an end.
Tho officers could not restrain tbe men as they rushed
forward to take Washington by the hand, and tho vio
lent sobsaud tears of tnesoldiers told bow deeply
engraved upon their affections was tho love of their
commander.
At length Washington reached tho bargo at White
hall, and entered it At the first stroke of tho oars
he rose, and turning to the companions or his glory,
by waving his bat, bade them a silent adieu. Their
answer was only in tears ; and tho officers and men.
with glistening eyes, watched the receding boat till
tho form of their noble commander was lost sight of
in the distance.
Contrast tbe farewell of Washington to his army at
Whlteba|l;in 1793, and the farewell of Napoleon, to
his army at Fontainbleu, in 1815. Tho one had ac
complished every wish or bis heart. His noble exer
tion nad pebteved tbe independence of bis country,
and he longed to retire to the bosom of bis home.—
His ambition was satisfied. He fongbt for no crown,
no sceptre, bat for equality and the mntnal happiness
of his fellow beings. No tint of tyranny, no breath
of slander, no whisper of duplicity, marred the fair
proportions of bis publio or private life; but
“ Hivu » man, taka him for all In all,
Wa ne’er shall look npon bis like again.”
Tho other great soldier was the disciple of selfish
ambition. He raised the iron weapon of war to crash,
only that he might rale. What to him were tbe cries
of tbo widows and orphans 1 He passed to a throne
fellow men for the aggrandisement of personal glory.
Enthusiasm points with fearful wonder to the name
of Napoleon, whilst Justice, benevolence, freedom,
and all tbe concomitants which constitute tho trae
happiness of man, shed almost a divine halo around
tho name and ebaraoter of George Washington,

Parties In Georgia*
Any person unacquainted with tho state of parties
In Georgia, who would tako the trouble to read tho
dally eflbslona of tho “ Conservative,” “ Union Con
servative,” “Independent Citizens’” organs,might
suppose that tho people of this Btato were engaged
In a violent oontest—ono portion to break up, and tho
Other to savo the Union. Nothing can bo further
from the fact, Thoro novor was, we believe, a time
In Georgia's history when designing politicians were
more zealously bent on making false Issues and ex
citing “ much ado about nothing.” Tho game is well
understood. We vontaro tho remark that thoro is
not a reflecting man in tho State that believes the
Union to bo In danger upon any point about which
tho opponents of Democratic principles are wasting
so much ink and spending so much breath. If there
was such danger, there would bo no particular reason
for trusting to tho counsels of a party whoso wholo
policy seems to bo opposition to Democratic rule, un
der the profession of great love for tho Union.
But this Is not all. The triumphant election of
Qan. Pieuor rendered “ obsolete ” the hopes of tho
Whig party, by dispensing with their services in the
various offices under Government, and blasting tho
prospect of preferment upon old Issues. High tariffe,
lavish expenditures'of publio money, &c., Ao., all,
oil have been swept away, and with them have per
ished the hopes or ambitious aspirants too proud to
confess tholr errors or to avow Democratio principles
The administration iquetbC broken down, on account
of tho evils which, as is alleged, it is bringing upon
tho country. Faliiug to show wherein these evils
consist, or how they exist, tho “Conservatives” ap
ply harsh epithets, and if a Democratio candidate
happen not to possess the “ commanding talents ” or
tho “ exalted worth" or another candidate, who is,
after ail, nothing but a Whig—an enemy of PiBrok’s
administration—the Democrat most bo Bat aside, and
is at onco branded m a"Disunionlst." But tho
game will not succeed. Tho people of Georgia are
too intelligent and too firm to suffer mere personal
detraction to draw them from tbo path of duty.

The following letter from “ A Traveller,” address
ed to tho editor of the Courier, will bo read with in
terest, as furnishing practical evidence of tho pro.
grass of the Brunswick Railroad. Wo were politely
furnished with it for simultaneous publication with
our cotemporary. Wo shall certainly take pleasure
in recording all such evidences of good faith on the
part of the projectors of this enterprise, and also
congratulate tho people of Brunswick, and those on
tho entire line of tho road, over tho advantages and
benefits to be derived therefrom:
7b the Dlilor of the Savannah Courier, Sir It afford* me
much gratification to comraunlcato to you, tho fact that on
Tuesday the Drat trial of tho new locomotive was made over
flvo mile* of the Brunswick Railroad.
The citizen* and strangers In the city accepted tho pub-
lie Invitation of Messrs. Collins nnd Alexander, the contrac
tors, and a loigo assemblage of ladles and gentlemen, fur
nished with seats on tho open car*, m&do the oxcurslon.—
The Road, so fir as it is completed, exhibits a Dne specimen
of tho skill and ability of tho contractors. Iron weighing
sixty pounds to the yard is laid upon tho cross tioa, dis
pensing with tho use of stringers, equal to a saviug of fivo
hundred dollars per mile.
Evory one who participated felt dclightod, and Inspirod
with renewed conDdenco in tho success of this great and
Important enterprise. On tho return of the cars to the de
pot, Levi S. D'Lyon, Esq., who was invltod on the occasion,
was particularly requested and urged to address the assem
bly, to which request ho responded in an appropriate and
well delivered speoeb, which was well received, and much
applauded.
On the succeeding day, at 4 o'clock P. M., the now and
splendid steamer St. Johns, arrived in this port, in beauti
ful stylo, with colors flying, nnd a flno band of music, as
cending tho river for a short distance.
On her arrival at the wharf, the Contractors addressed to
Capt. Freeborn, a polito Invitation for himself, passengers
and crow, tc accompany them on an excursion ovor so
much of the Road as wa* completed, and lo take a glass of
wine. The invitation was readily accepted, and with their
fine band of music they rccaired to tho depot.
The ladles, cltiiens and strangers in the city, assembled
in greater numbers, and at the sound of the vthlstlo, the
engine was again in motion. The sceno bccamo interesting
and its novelty In that section of country, flllod orory heart
with gladness and rejoicing. Tho rido was an easy nnd de
lightful one. The day was fine, and addod much to tho
pleasure of all who participated. Arrived at tho Five Mile
Station, Major Edwin II. Bacon, of Savannah, being present
was loudly called for, and requested to address tho people,
Major Bacon then, without a moment’s notice, promptly
responded in an admlrablo speoch, which elicited rounds of
applause. Among the many good thing* said by him, ho
remarked that 41 humbugs were generally found on paper—
that there could be no humbug in laying a track of Iron
rails, weighing sixty pounds to tho yard." Major Bacon en
couraged, by his remarks, the Brunswick people to press
In tholr enterprise, which, he said, would not only be felt by
Brunswick, by Qoorgta, but tho whole world.
After a delay of a few minutes, tho beautiful engine was
reversed, and the party roturnod to the city, highly grati
fied at their bright and growing prospects. On tho arrival
of tho cars at tho depot, Colonol Edward TatnallShoftall,
of Laurens county, was callod upon for an address. Unex
pected as the call was to him. he readily complied, and en<
tertalnod his hears in a neat, pertinent and eloquent speech,
Vrhtoh was well received. Tho party then adjourned to
tho Oglethorpe Ilouse, kept In One style by Mr. Wood, where
. they wero refreshed with an abundance of well Iced Cham
pagne, until tho moment of the boat’s departure arrived.
e Many toasts were drank, nnd the party separated with but
ono sentiment—Success to the Ht. Johns, the city of Bruns

All sorts of rascally conjectures and criminal suspi
cions were afloat by both bankers and people, to the
g reat annoyance of some, and. much actual damage
> the banks. 1
At last the mystery has been unraveled, and we are
permitted by one of the parties most deeply concern
ed. to give publicity to tne following statements:
A few months ago a rumor was current that a few
bills on the Miami Valley Bank had found their way
into circulation without the proper filling np and reg
istry at the auditor'* office, It may be won to state
that the general law authorizing what is called free
banking In this state, requires the auditor to procure
tho engraving and furnish the bills for said hank,
oharging the expense on their account, and that as
Tost as said banks deposit with him state stock secu
rities, ho issues bills duly registered to tho same
amount.
IUwden, Wright & Co., Cincinnati, had been em
ployed to get the plates for theso banka, and for con
venience, aa they wero continually receiving orders
from tbe auditor for new issues, kopt the plates la
•their possession. Thus matters Btood, till, a fow
weeks ago, an alarming quantity of these gcuuine
bills, with counterfeit signatures, appeared not on the
Miami Valley Bank, but of some hair dozen othors of
tbo State stooks. The publio were alarmed and put
upon their guard, and at the samo time, tho auditor,
Mr, Jones, the agent of the engravers, and os wo Bald
before, tbe bankers, set themselves about investiga
ting the afikic.
To tho vigilance and Indomitable peraoveranco of
the anditor, who although silent, slept not, is much
of tho credit due for oxploding this, tho most cun
ningly devised and stupendous scheme of public rob
bery over concocted ih this or any other country. He
went to Cincinnati, found tho plates all right, and in
their place in the engraver’s hand*. Nobody suspec
ted about the establishment—all was quiet there—
Tho next object was to trace their issue from first
bands. This was impossible. Tho next was to go
among tho rogues and scoundrels in the city, and
they are always plenty enough in Cincinnati, visit the
jails and gambling housos, and with bribes, elicit
tho secret. Here “ the snake was scotched.” Among
the gang of counterfeiters recently arrived at Coving
ton, Ky., was found ono who knew all about this mat
ter, and for a consideration, revealed the whole affair.
Ho was ono of the several who had bribed one of
tho employees of Rawdon. Wright & Co’s, establish
ment, to furnish them bills in small amounts, from
time to time, for cash la hand. This employee was
counted tho most honest nnd upright man In the es
tablishment, had been there 11 years, treated in all
things confidentially, and was entirely above suspi
cion. For some mouths back. Mr. Jones, tbo agent,
bad observed a change In bis appearance, looking
haggard and fatigued.and supposing it was ill-hcaltb,
occasioned by so much conllnement, induced him to
go East for bis health, where he still was when this
development took place. Yesterday it was telegraph
ed to us that he hnd been arrested, which accounts
for giving publicity to this to-day. It was leered bo
might leave tho country, if informed of what bad
been revealed against him by his accomplice In tbu
Cincinnati jail. As near as can be ascertained, about
firteen thousand dollars of those spurious bills have
been issued, but tbe informer thinks that considera
ble of R still remains In tho counterfeiter’s bands.
A lady, one ofthe gang, now confined at Columbus,
confirms this statement. The banks have deterfniued
to redeem as fast as presented, all their old issues,
and have ordered new plates on which new Issues
arc to bo made. Mr. Jones, the agent of the engrav
ers, has redeemed some thousand dollars of the spu
rious currency, out of his private fundB. In the end,
tho public can lose but little. The banka, from the
inconvenience of withdrawing their old circulation
and getting np new, will Buffer much.
It is said that this same gang of counterfeits had
got their schemes laid to get hold of the plates of the
State Bank, in tho hands of other engravers, and had
not this affair exploded so soon, would have bad out
any quantity of 44 State Bank ” bills, In conjunction
with the independent bunks.
It issaid by those who havo been Investigating the
matter, that it has been the best laid plot, moat cun
ningly devised and prudently conducted ot any on
record in tho criminal history of tho country, nnd in
another month would havo neen put in operation on
so extended a scale as to havo produced n general
panic by tbe distress and disarrangement it would
necessarily create in our money affairs.
Startling Feat.
A Paris correspondent of tho New York Times
glvos the following account of the latest amusement
devised for tho wonder loving Parisians:
The feat of jumping from a baloon, tho jumper sus
tained by an India rubber ropo, was fully performed
ou Thursday. It was the most stupendous exhibition
of daring and address that tho Parisians have yet
been permitted to witness. From one side of the car
of tho baloon hung the India rubber cord, descending
150 feet, and then returning and being fastened to tbe
other side of the car. It thus formed a strong loop.
The athlete was dressed as Mercury; his body, from
tho neck to tho small of his bock, was enclosed in a
frame work, which enabled him to endure tho suspen
sion without wrenobiag or dislocation. The rone
passed through an eyelet in tho middlo of the baclc,
placed so that he was held in perfect equilibrium.
When tbe baloon bad reached an altitude double that
of the supposed elasticity of tho cord, the voltigeur
appeared on the edge of the car, looked over, shut
his eyes, and drove off into space.
The eylet slipped along tho rope, so that the first
150 feet were a positive fall through tho air, without
any resistance or break. Tho rest ol the way was an
elongation of the rope. It stretched four times its
length, making in all a descent of COO feot, accom-
J dished in two seconds. Alter having attained its
owest point, tho rope contracted once, perhaps 200
feet, and then descended again. There was no farth
er rebound,and no oscillation, tho voltiguer lad calm
ly cradled in mid-air, and probably spent the leisure
he was now permitted to enjoy in recovering his
breath, and contemplating the prospect. The rcro-
naut above now commenced at the windlass, and
gradually wound his dangling friend up again. In
four minutes he climbed over the side of the car,
having made tho fastest time that any human being
has ever achieved, except Buch as have been shot
from cannon, as Baron Munchansen said bo was, I
think. Six hundred feet in two seconds is at at the
rate of 3i miles a minute. We are waltiug to know
what will bo done next.
This is certainly a startling feat, but not half so
startling as tbe fact that the law of gravitation ope
rates differently in Paris from what it docs in any
other known part of tho globe. Accordingly to this
law, a body falls sixteen feet the first second of time,
and in two seconds, it will have fallen a height of six
ty-four feet. How tho man fell six hundred feet in
two seconds, is more a subject of wonder than tho feat
which Is so minutely described for our admiration.—
Perhaps tbo French Academy of Science will tako the
matter into consideration and give a rational explan
ation of tho 44 pbendmenon.”

Commodore Coe.
Rumors havo been extensively circulated that Com.
Coo, who was recently in command ofthe naval
forces of Urquiza at Buenos Ayres, bad sold his
command to the opposite party, and deserted. Wo
are glad to state from other advices that this Is wick
edly false, having been originated in personal malice.
We learn that the crews of his vessels mutinied in
such a manner that it was Impossible for him to con
trol them, and he was consequently obliged to take
refuge elsewhere. •
If o ver a high character, earned by a life-long mani
festation of honorable Instincts can serve a man, It
should in such an instance os this ; and persons in
this, the native place of Commodore Coe, who havo
known him from youth, will bo very Blow to believe
a charge, as yet irresponsibly circulated, amid tho ri
valries of bucu treacherous factions as now distract
that part ol South America.
The following extract from another letter gives
what seems to be a more reasonable account than
those hitherto published:
“ The squadron which has been blockading here for
somo time past declared In favor of the inside, and

that they did this partly because they wore not paid

Commodore Coe was obliged to flee on board the Uni
ted States sloop-of-war Jamestown, for protection
from his mutinous crow, and from there he took pas
sage to Montevideo in an American vessel. The loss
of his squadron was a severe blow to Urquiza, and
to bis hopes of reducing Vie city. Ho still maintains
tho seigo, but will be obliged to retire in a few days
more. His own province is now iu a state of revolt,

Wood was conveyed into the presence of his dying
victim yesterday. When the officers reached Jack
sonville, where the pedlar lies, Hendrickson, pre
viously arrested on suspicion, was undergoing an ex
amination. The pedlar had charged him with the
robbery, but on the arrival of Wood they wero both
brought into his presence, when he retracted his
charge against Hendrickson nnd accused Wood of be
ing his ossallunt. In addition to tho recognition of
the pedlar, several other witnesses swore that Wood
is the man who hired a waggon nt Gayhead on tho
afternoon of tho outrage, and was driven to Catskill.
Other witnesses recognised Wood as the man who
wns seen on the plankrond in cumpnny with the ped
lar, on tho day the ncdlnr was shot. Wood, finding
the evidence overwhelming against him, has made a
full confession of his guilt, and was yesterday fully
committed to answer the charge, by Justice Stewart.

Roman Catholics in tot United States.—A let
ter from Father de Smet, written at St. Louis, and
E nbllshed in the Annals of the Propogation of the
uith, gives some important statements respecting
the condition and prospects of tho Roman Church in
the United States. According to this writer, the
Jesuit Society progresses here at a slow bnt steady
pace, having already seventeen colleges, a number
which would soon be doubled if tbe requisite staff of
teachers could be procured. Requests for new estab
lishments are made by tbe Bishops in all parts of tho
Union, inclnding New Mexico and California. In
New Mexico there are stated to be one hundred thous
and Catholics, of whom ten tbonsand are Indians,
and for all these there are but twelvo priests, and not
a single school nor college. In the whole United
Btates, tbe letter says, there are near fonr millions of
Catholics, though all these figures socm liko mere
rough guesses, not based upon actual data. Father
de Smet complains of a great laok of priests, which,
as he expresses it, is “ keenly felt in a country where
Protestantism, indifference, irreligion, infidelity, rash
like a torrent in all directions, and bear in their onr-
rent thousands of Catholics.”—N. O. Courier.

Facts About the Fever.—A few months ago a
merchant of this city took to bis home and heart a
Isle. She took the fever, antf in a few days died.—
Another was hired, and shared the same fate. A
third and a fourth filled the vacancy in the hooaehold
and followed in succession the sweeping summons of
the same fell destroyer. Following tbo impulse of a
natural dread, tho merchant went to Mobile to avoid
the destructive visitation of the scourge, and the next
day buried hfs young and beautiful bride. Disgusted
with a borne where nought but empty chambers
served to call op the memories of departed joys, he
roturnod to tho city to sell cut hia household, determ
ined to leuvo a locality to him so suggestive of sor
row. Ho died tho next day. When our informant
