stii5 tii inft. in the 45th year ot his
; age, brigadier General John
| Morrison, commanding the
! 2<J Brigade of tne ill Divifion
of the Miiitia of this'■•race. —
At an early age, the General
took up arms m favour of the
independence of tills country,
and lupported, during the con
left, the character of a brave
foldier and officer, in fo much
ib, that his fupenors in rank
placed every confidence in him.
From the toils and hardftnps of
war, and at the dole of it, he
retired to domeftic concerns ;
his country, however, acquaint
ed with his virtues, at repeated
times appointed him as xnator
fiom burke, which office he
TJlcu with dignity, firlT!fJc|s ant? 1
integrity. Ihe legiffauure aifo
mated him to the command he
held at the time of his dcceafe.
ho hum up the whole of this
good man’s chaiacler, is to lay
that his country have fuilained j
a gitat lofs in his death—his J
beloved wife and children, an j
affectionate hulband and tender |
parent, and ins neighbours a

Jejjlcn of the fee, ay.d immediate

From various a fays 1 have made
of this ere, I haver caffon to believe
it is the rich eft mine ever dft even
ed. J have a fayed ftp cc imens of
this ere to'ken up at Jjteen miles
apart , and knew it to be one and
the Janie vein , and the reftult of j
each was equally rich. I think
wc may calculate upon about too
ounces of'f He Jiher to every bun
dled weight of ore. 7 he mine
lies ah ut 140 miles up the Ohio
from this l lace , hut not in the
