Not only hogs, but horses and mulea al so, it is said, have died from the effects of eating these oats. We have heard a report that ouegentle man lost sixty out of sixty-five hogs turned into a field from which the oats had been cut. If these re ports are true, farmers should bo very cautious about feeding away or sending to market, oats thus affect ed; and we hope that each one will make inquiries and cautious experiments to ascertain the truth ot the reports that have reached us.

These notoj were given last December in pursuance of the arrangement then made by the two Companies.

This falling '>ff indicates a much greater loss, for only tho heads ->f families and persons engaged in business, as pet insuent residents are includ- <; in the count.

The RIoir Sunke.—The correspondent of an eastern paper tells of the death of a Mr. Aben, in Clinton county, Iowa, caused by the breath of a “blow snake.” Mr. A. being a new settler, was eo tirely ignorant of the nature of the “blow,” and see ing one, he got close enough to strike it. when tho snake suddenly raised itself up, and blew in its pur suer’s face, causing Mr. Aben to inhale the breath of the animal, poisonous enough to cause the death of the unfortunate man tn a short time. Western & Atlantic Railroad--AN OTHER DIVIDEND. Ben. May, Esq., Treasurer of the State Road, has transmitted to the Treasurer for the State, at Milledgeville, $25,000, being the nett earnings ot that Road for the month of June. This, added to the amount of the two proceeding remittances, makes the pretty little sum of $92,000 which has crept into the State Treasury from that quarter since the first of April last.

Governor Brown, In the work of The Holidays. ■\Vith three Holidays—or rather three non- working days in succession—the last one in cluding publication day—we may be excused from saying much about them. The Telegraph office is nigh void of compositors, and there is no body to put in type what we might write. The Military display ou Saturday was re markably fine—but it constituted the entirety of the procession. The patriotic ardor of Civ ilians did not rise superior to the weather tem perature. Ralston’s Hall, large as it is, was crowded to the point of suffocation, with fair women and brave men. The order of exer cises there is set forth in the programme pub lished elsewhere. The reader of the Declara tion acquitted himself well, though not with suiiicicut strength of voice. The Oration was every way appropriate and admirable—passing in rapid review the progress and position of the country—its mission and duties—its dangers, and closing with an eloquent appeal for its pre servation. The orator was interrupted at al most every pause with the plaudits of the vast assembly. The Choir, under Mr. Schreiner, closed with the Star Spangled Banner, sung in excellent style, and three cheers were given in parting for the Orator, Reader and Choir. The Cavalry afterward sat down to asplendid ban quet at the residence of their Commander, Col. Bass. The Rifles had a fine dinner at tbeir Armory, aud we gratefully acknowledge a hos pitable invitation to both, which for reasons of a domestic character we could not accept. In fine, our celebration was quite a success. Laying: the Corner Stone of the A- CADE.MY FOR THE BLIND. This ceremony came off to-day, (Monday) in imposing form. The procession, compris ing, the Macon Volunteers, Captain Smith; Floyd Rifles, Capt. Hardeman; Bibb Cavalry, Col. N. Bass; No’s. 1 and 2 Fire Companies, Foremen Bloom and Ells; the Masonic Frater nity including the Grand Lodge, Grand Mas ter Julius A. Rockwell, and the Lodges of Odd Fellows, moved to the ground about ten o’clock. Here a tremendous assciab) >ge of Ladies and Gentlemen and Juveuilcs of both sexes had gathered, and nothing could be heard or seen for the number of spectators and auditors.— The exercises began by Prayer by Rev. Mr. Landrum, following by singing by the Masonic Fraternity. A spirited address was next de- The London Cotton Plant. We were indebted to somebody across the wa ter last week for ihe first and second numbers of “The London Cotton riant,’’ a pro-Southern, pro slavery Journal, recently started in London, by C. Mitchell, Publisher, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street, ?1U ' a year, London. American subscription, which includes foreign postage. Subscription or ders will be honored on receiving letter addressed as above, and the subscription money can bo re mitted either through the Representative ot the District in Congress, or the nearest postmaster, at the close of the first six months or end of the year. The Cotton Plant is a weekly paper of thirty-two large pages and is beautifully printed. Its object as stated by the Editor, is “to defend as right per sc the institution of humane and civilized negro servitude as a success which could on’y result from the justice, wisdom and philosophy of Southern in stitutions. It will be an especial object of “The London Cotton Plant” to place before tho Capital ists, Manufacturers, and Merchants of Europe the vast resources of the Southern States of America, and the legitimate field for commercial enterprise which exists.” The first number (tho second having been made love to by some of our friends) leads olT in an ar ticle on Free-negroism versus Free Trade. The second article is upon “Direct Trade with the Cotton States of America.” Tho third is upon “The British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society”, n review of the proceedings of that Society at its last An nual meeting, held May 31st, 1858. A Fourth Ed itorial is entitled “England and America— the War of Races. Following this is a Communication up on Compulsory Labor, by an English pen. Tho remainder of its ample pages arc filled by judicious extracts from the English press. The establishment of such a Journal as this marks an era in opinion upon the slavery question. e are not of those who believe that extreme abo lition views are just now less prevalent, either in Europe or America, than they havo ever been.— They are probably more so; and it is probable, also, that the anti-slavery sentiment is more acri monious and uncompromising than it has ever been before. But it is also true that more intelli gent and just opinions on the subject arc gaining ground among a class who were simply non-assail ants of our system of labor, and that within a year or two past, for the first time, the true attitude of the system in connection with so-called “free-la bor” itself, and the commercial necessities of tbe world, are beginning to be comprehended. It is true, also, tlftt the most favorite theories of the emancipationists arc bogiuui g to be demonstra ted by the light of actual experience, as fallacious and impracticable. The publication within a brief period of a good many Northern works either in apology for, or defence of Southern slavery, is evi dence of this change in intelligent opinion, and the An Abolition Remedy for the Slave trade. The Tribune, in an article upon the Slave Trade, proposes and answers the following problem, thus: “The problem then is, “How to induce the Af rican chiefs to cease “stealing and selling men.” The answer is, “Make the labor of tho negroes more profitable to the chiefs than their tale, and the work is accomplished.” But how shall this be done? By patience, philanthropy and the judi cious use of adequate capital. The great remedy is the introduction of the cotton culture as a regu lar system into Central Africa, and the exporta tion of the raw material, with coffee, indigo, palm oil, and the varied productions of those fertile lands, to America and Europe,” The practicability of the remedy hangs first, on the adaptation of Africa to the production of Cot ton, and second, on the adaptation of African “chiefs” for intelligent, persevering culture—in other words, for making white men. For the first, authorities conflict, and for the second, if the ex perience of five thousand years, has not proved that the negro will always be a negro, then let the Abolitionists take five thousand years more to learn a patent fact. But suppose this Utopian plan in full operation—a large cotton producing interest in full blast in Africa under these “chiefs,” who arc thus making “the labor of the negroes more pro fitable than their sale,” how does that comport with the humanitarian theories of tbe Tribune and the Abolitionists ? They have substituted slavery under white men and under tho responsibilities of law, for slavery under African chiefs, so brutal ized and barbarous that as the Tribune tells us in a previous part of his article, “The wretched savages have had no other way to supply themsclfes with rum, tobacco, and the various gewgaws which please their taste, than by stealing and selling their fellow-savages.” In other words, the chiefs out. rage every dictate of natural right and every sen timent of mercy for rum, tobacco and gewgaws; but nevertheless the Tribune proposes stiff farther to stimulate their cupidity, by making the labor of their fellow-savages, more profitable than the traffic in their persons! With what infernal exac tion, and at what horrible sacrifice of life, such “la bor” under such task masters would be prosecute is a matter of inevitable deduction. The record- of Spanish domination over the American Indians would afford no adequate illustration of it. When- human life is held so cheap that thousands are slaughtered to afford skulls for a “chief’s” funeral monument, the Tribune, in his beautifully consist ent philanthropy proposes to transfer slave laboi and its products from the realms of civilization and the sanctions of law! 0, miracle of a philo: opher and philanthropist! Will not the Northern people tire of such stuff as that, after a while? For the Georgia Telegraph, Afr. Clisby.—Business in the Supreme four will prevent a rejoinder in the next Telegr; your criticism in the last issue. I hope to be able to do so the week after next. In the meantime you will very much oblige me by pointing your next, the clause or article of the Constitution giving to Congress authority to prohibit the Trade and declare it piracy. You, in your la say that the Constitution gives such authority, but neither you itor our friend Hunter point us to the part of the Constitution where it can be found. I am anxious for the information, for I honestly con fess, I could never find it. It is not satisfactory to say that “Congress have the authority becatu they have exercised it—and that they have exer- cised it because they have the authority.” With all due respect, this is arguing in a circle. Very respectfully, &c., JOHN' HAMPDEN. And our friend John Hampden will, in t very much oblige us by pointing out the clause the Telegraph’s criticism, wherein wc say that the Constitution gives Congress power to declare the slave trade piracy. Wc get the power to prohibit the trade in the clause where every body found unquestioned—from James Madison and his times down to two years ago—Section 9, Art. 1. livered by Capt. Hardeman, of the Rifles, of London Cotton Plant is evidence of the same pro- wbicli we heard never a word, but like the deaf I cess going on across the Atlantie. In brief, it Pn»porl.

The boy had. however, ceased to make any cry or noise before the doors were opened, and probably had been suflfoca ted by the smoke and flatnea before attention Mormons are playing false.

In a conversation with Mr. Fayrweathor, the General Agent for tbe Chicago and Burmington Railroad, he stated that passengers were carried by tbe steamboat, seven or eight miles from Burlington to the Oquawk* station, to reach tho cars on that road, and have not less than five feet of water all the way. In the route lies the farm of an old settler, who bad in one field two hundred acres of as fine wheat as ever charmed tbe eye; and the entire crop is cov ered eight feet with water, and the steamer makes regular trips across this wheat field.

They stayed one day after arriving at the bunting grounds, and saw fra dead It was certain that the Jail was fired from the inside by the prisouer, and that tho fire had made considerable progress before he gave the alatm. He doubtless procured matches from the outside or concealed them about his person. He doubtless fired the building with the view of escaping in the noise and confu sion of the burning. He had, when arrested, several passes, one of said passes directed to the Conductor of ihe Central Rail Road, and authorized him to pass him to Savannah. The negro is named in the pass Jones, and one of them is dated June 22d. 1858. and signed J. C. Wilborn.

Tho escape of a leopard in Oswego co., N. Y., belonging to Messrs. Sands, Nathan & Co., by the upsetting of the cage iu which he was carried, was reported a few days sinee. and we have since learned the particulars of his capture, which we give below in the lan guage of a correspondent ot-ihe Oswego Palla dium, who writes from Sehroepel, Oswego co : “About two hours after entering the woods, and about a mile aud a half from the scene of the animal’s depredations the previous night, one of the dogs in close proximity to the party, which had kept well together, scented the game, and came back manifesting much terror. The other dogs were started on, and almost im mediately the leopard was espied by several, only a few yards in advance, seated on the lower limb of a large tree, and eyeing the dogs —which had set up a great uproar—with a ferocious scowl. A volley of well directed shot was fired upoD him, and the leopard imme diately, with a howl of pain, sprang down up on Hie dogs.—The poor dogs offered but little resistance; two of them were killed outright and the other three put to flight. A young man named \\ illinnt Bryan, came near falling a victim to the ferocious animal in his dying agonies. The leopard sprang upon him, and knocking him down, stood over him wiih his sharp claw fastened in young Bryan’s body. It was a terrible moment, and would have been his last, bnt for the desperate daring of an elder brother, Joseph Bryan, who instantly rushed up and placed tho muzzle of his musket close to the leopard, and lodged the charge in his head, ihe animal relinquished his hold and expired in a moment.

July 1st, 1858. Editor Republican—Dear Sir: The Supreme Court decided this morning that the attach- nt and garnishment act, passed 1855-’G— generally known as “Cone’s” attachment and mishinent law, and which by the fifty-fifth ction repeals “all acts and parts of acts upon he subject of attachments and garnishment” does not repeal the statute Dee. 27th, 1845, exempting the wages of journeymen mechan ics and day laborers from process and liability to garnishment.” This decision will be hailed with delight by the chiss of persons thus re lieved from the vexatious process of garnish ment. but the profession will regret to see the Supreme Court making instead of declaring the l:l’-v. Yours, Bibb. Whatever “the profession” may think about it, the people will njoiee over the practical ab rogation of a statute for the punishment of prompt pay masters and to nuthorize public interference with every man’s private busi ness. (&uery for the Doctors. We see in a contributio". to the Oglethorpe Med ical Journal, by Dr. T. U. hirers, that the Modi cal profession nntc-datcs old Adam himself. The Doctor says: “From the most remote times, in fact from the Bcrashith of the preadamite Sultans, the medical profes-ion has been held in tho highest estimation by all classes of persons. In the mostancient lime the physician was tbe only true man—the only The ologian—Theology and Medicine being the same thing—embalmed as they were in the sweet spice of Antiquity!” Assuming this to be true, we should like to learn of the IHiculty, how it came to pass that the popu lation of this earth was reduced to “a solitary tra veller,” and he not “on horseback” either. There must have been bad practice in those times. Lynch Law In Florida. The story copied from the Savannah Republican, in to-day’s Telegraph is in all probability an impo sition. The Georgian, of Friday, says of it: “As we expected, the terrible outrages enume rated by the “Repablican’s” Tampa correspondent turns out to be a hoax. We have received the last number of the Tampa Peninsular, published on the 26th inst., which does not contain the slightest allusion to the hanging of four respectable citizens as narrated by S. 1’. Bow en. If there is such a man as S. F. Bowen, in Tampa, wc would suggest for the benefit of parties con cerned, that lie be turned over to the tender mer cies of the Regulators. A little lynching would perhaps teach him tho impropriety df manufactu ring lies to impose upon editors mul throw them upon the public.” Dr. IN’, ill. Crawford Arrived here on Saturday morning last, says the “Temperance Crusader,” his excellent lady prece ding him a few days. On Saturday night the stu dents cn mas' , and a number of citizens, botli mule and female, assembled before bis residence to give him a serenade tuid a welcome back to the Presidency of the University. The students hav ing formed a very large scnii-cirele in lront of his door, called for him, when hc appeared in the verandah mid addressed them in a few chaste and appropriate remarks, w hich w ere well and happily received by bis auditory. After he concluded, Al len D. Candler, Esq., being called out, responded iu a liappv manner, and gave him, in behalf ol his fellow-students, a warm and hearty welcome back to the Presidential chair of their loved Institution. The Doctor lias rcuirned among his old friends, aud he finds them still as true and numerous as In days past. From Washington Territory. DEFEAT OF U. S. TROOPS BY THE INDIANS. Tho Olympia Democrat, of May 28t i, has news just on tbe eve of going to press, of the defeat of Col. Steptoe, with a command of 400, on the 16th May. While crossing Snake River, they were at tached by 1,500 Indians, principally Snakc3, but comprising other tribes, and in tbe'action, three officers and fifty men were killed. The route was complete—the Indians captaring most of the pack animals, twenty-five baggage wagons and two howitzers, and the command forced into a precipi tous retreat, carrying off twenty-two of their wound ed. Two of the officers killed were Capt. Wynders and Lieut Gadsden. Deaths. Hon. Robert T. Conrad and Hon. Job Tyson, two prominent and well known citizens of Phila delphia, died suddenly on Sunday last. Pandemonium broke loose. The New Y r ork papers are filled with the record^ of a “Reform Convention,” last week in session at Rutland, Vermont. Thousands were present, and the Convention held over Sunday-the 27th. Of all records of blasphemy, moral filth, puerility and folly, the world never saw the like. Such an as semblage in any decent community with a proper degree of self respect, would be put down by tbe strong arm of the law, and its members and speak ers indicted. We have no space or inclination to sustain this allegation from their records. A hasty synopsis of one day’s proceeding may afford some idea of the character of their proceedings, but the elaborately diabolical nature of tbe most of them may be gathered from this quotation: Rutland, Vt., June 26th, 1858. Tbo chief incident at the Convention to-day was the introduction by Mrs. Julia Branch of New York, of ths following resolution: Resolved, That tbe slavery and degradation of woman proceeds from tbe institution of marriage ; that by the marriage contract she loses the control of hern ante, her person, her property, her labor, her affections, her children, and her freedom.” An exciting discussion followed upon this resolu- . tion, tho speakers being Mrs. Branch, II. 8. Foster.' This charter to Vanderbilt will necessitate aud The Nicaragua Transit Controvcr SY, &c. The New York papers of tbe 28th, contain copies of a secret agreement made by the Nic aragua Government with tbe agents of Van derbilt, by which the entire Transit Route made over to him and M. Belly’s Canal Char ter is formally revoked, for incapacity and non-fulfillment. A correspondent of the Tri bune, who, iu the next number, publishes all tbe papers substantiating bis statements, says The agents and correspondents of the Canal Company did succeed for a time in impressing the Government of Nicaragua with a fear, if not a belief, that Vanderbilt’s interests were not with them, and that be would never again under any conditions, open tbe Transit route The arguments which they brought to bear upon the Nicaragua Government were paper arguments, which all the fact and knowledge <>f Vanderbilt’s agent were employed in over throwing. In order, however, to remove eve ry shadow of doubt upon this subject, Vander bilt. after signing the contract with Nicaragua has complied with its first condition by remit ting a large loan in specie to the Nicaraguan Government, which must be by this time in their possession. If the line is noi opened in ninety days a forfeiture of the loan ('tSIOU.OOOj tdll be the result. We can now understand the policy of the Nicaraguan Govermcntin openingnegotiations with a reputed agent of French capitalists.— The contract provides that the Belly Ship Canal s.hall be commenced in tico years from date of negotiations. The contract with Van derbilt demands that the line shall be opened in ninety days. The Belly contract is for a Ship Canal, but does not concede a right of transit by land lake and river; the present Vanderbuilt con tract is a Transit charter, for the immediate conveyance of passengers, &c., by lake and river steamers and land carriage on the Istli mus The Beliy Ship Canal must be constructed to admit “vessels of tbe largest size"—ocean streamers the great ship Leviathan for exam pie. The absurdity is evident. Fifteen years’ labor and one hundred millions of capital would be inadequate to the work. It would cost the lives of some thirty thousand men. The morasses and quicksands of the San Juan and the shallow Lake of Nicaragua would have to be^excavated to a depth of more than Jorty-fi.ce feet, and the excavation made into a stone channel at least two hundred feet wide, con structed for a distance, in all, of near seventy miles, by laborers, toiling in the burning sun of the tropics, subject, to a malaria as fatal as that of the Isthmus of Panama or the mouth of the Niger. No such canal as that proposed will ever be constructed. In a word, the Belly contract, with or with out the approval of our Government, which it required, is an acknowledged farce. The Gov ernment of Nicaragua granted nothing; and if, in true Spanish style, they used improper language toward the UnitedStates in their de claration, they have given solid evidence of tbeir real desire and intentions by granting a new and effectual charter to an American citi zen, who is able and willing to carry out its provisions Messrs. D. B. Allen and YV. Ii. C. Web ster left New York for Nicaragua on the 17ih of June taking with them §100,000 in money for the loan to Nicaragua, and a charter signed by the Government of Nicaragua on the one part and Cornelius Vanderbilt on the other, Joel Tiffany, Mr. Lovoy, Mrs. Ernestine L. Rose. F. W. Goans and others. The afternoon session was devoted to a discussion of the Slavery question, and speeches were made by Parker Pillsbury, William Goode!!, J. S. Foster, Mrs., Rose and others. Mr. Foster eared nothing about the Union He would say, rather than a single slave should be held in bondage, “Down with tbe Union; down with the ■‘Constitution; down with the religions; down with the ‘ Church; down with the Bible—and let all go to hell and damnation.” The Convention is to he eontinned this evening and to-morrow. About 2,000 people were present i-day and more are expected to be in attendance to morrow (Sunday.) Great excitement exists here in regard to the Con vention. secure the sending on of the Cass-Yrissarri Treaty, or a document from the Nicarguan Government giving full power to the Govern ment of the United States to protect its commerce and its citizens by force of arms in Nicaragua if necessary. Rlormon Atrocity. We find the following in the Utah corres pondcncc of the Tribune, dated 17th of May last: Another of those black-hearted, fiendish and atrocious deeds which cry aloud to Heav en for vengeance upon the perpetrators, has. from the publicity which has beeu given toil nmoug the Mormon people, reached us. The fourth wife of a man living in the viciuity of Salt Lake City, whose name, for the present, I shall suppress—a young, amiable, refined woman, beloved by all who knew her, some what superior to the common mass, from the influence of early education—became impatient and heart-sickened at the abject state of mise ry so rapidly gnawing the very cords of her soul, and determined, if possible, to make an effort to reach the camp of the army. Her husband got some hint of it. He immediately mouutcd his horse, rode to Brigham’s office, and asked of Brother Brigham what he should do with her. Brigham told him to cut her throat, aud thus save her from eternal damna tion. The brute went home, and told thepoor Oman to prepare to die. She, seeing the ear nestness of his manner, fell at his feet, beg ging, praying and imploring him for mercy ; bnt hc. while she was thus kneeling before him, took her by the hair, aud cut her throat om ear to ear. Injurious effects of New Type It is well known, says the Paris correspondent of tho Morning Advertiser, that new type has a very injurious effect on the fingers, and that children, especially employed in sorting it in foundries, cry often lose the use of them. The Union Med- -clates the following recent case of paralysis uised by handling new type: A compositor, aged thirty-nine, iu perfect health, was provided, some time ago with a new font of type, ne had scarcely used it a week, when his wrist became weaker and weaker; tho thumb, index, and middle finger was worn off at the tips, and in a few days more lie had complete ly lost the use of his iiand His medical adviser, Dr. Salter, rightly attributing this disorder to the poisonous effects of the lead contained in the type, caused him to bathe his hand several times a day, each time for a space of three hours, in a solution of Bulphoret of potassium. This local remedy ef fected a complete euro in tl c course of eight days, without the aid of any other medicine. ’ The Prog Market.—Frogs nro now u regularly quoted article in the New Y’ork market.

In the report of the trial of Jim Lane, at Lawrence, I7th ult., for the murder of Jenkins, .ve find the following account of the cross-ex amination of Judge Smith, (Governor elect, under the Lecompton Constitution): Cross-examined by Col. Y’oung—I never heard Col. Jenkins intimate anything like do ing an injury to C“I. Lane, although I have been very much with him—probably more than any other man—and I have frequently spoken with him about .the claim contest; I have heard Jenkins say that Lane had threatened to kill him, but lie said he was not afraid of him—that he was a coward, and the d—d scoundrel knew it. Q. Have you stated to any person, since the death of Gaius Jenkins, that Jim Lane was a d—d scoundrel, and that any man defending him was a d—d scoundrel ? A. I don’t exact ly recollect my precise language; proba bly it was worse than that [laughter] ; I have never stated it in those words. 1 think ; I have stated that he ought to have been shot at the time; I have told men that Lane was the most corrupt man, without exception. I had known in 30 years’ experience of public life; and in two or three conversations—immediately after the fact—angry at the murder, and that men shruld defend such an outrage. I have wound up by saying that any man who would justify such a murder was a d—d scoundrel; I did not refer to counsel. Col. Young—You need not qualify; we don't care whether you include us or not.— [Laughter.] Judge Smith—Nor I, whether you include yourself or not. [Laughter.] All these declarations were made with refer ence to the murder ; otherwise I have no per sonal feeling against Gen. Lane—did not state in that conversation that Jenkins had grossly insulted his wife, that I recollect of; Mr. Ste vens was one of Jenkin’s lawyers in the land- suit case; I did not understand that Gen. Lane was sending a message through Stevens; I have already said that 1 did not hear the entire conversation. (). Did not Gen. Lane request of Mr. Ste vens in that conversation, as the lawyer of Col. Jenkins, to state to Jenkins that theoniy way they could live in peace was for Jenkins to remain on his own premises aud permit Lane to stay on his, and that he wanted uo difficul ty with him, or words to that effect ? A. I feel very positive that lie made no such decla- ation, from the fact of another declaration that he used which that as soon as Jenkin’s crop was ready to gather, lie (Lane) intended to take two-thirds and leave Jenkins one-third; the answer I made to that remark was that I thought he would have a good time of if he at tempted it; he was apparently addressing us both at that time ; Stevens, to the best of my recollection, did not answer. Ij. Have you not stated it publicly in the town of Lawrence, iu presence of many per sons, that if your evidence co -.Id convict Gen.

U (For the Home Journal) Washington’s Personal Appear. I first saw General Washington on thoiM. of October, 1778, when, for ashorUit " had his head-quarters at a house then ocA.-.t by Colonel Kane,- (great grandfather /.f late Dr. Kane.) some two miles westerly“,5 the Quauer meeting house on Quaker Hill • the present town of Pawliugs. formerly call!!! Fredericksburg. Dutchess county, and on the road leading to Poughkeepsie. ^ The encampment of the largest portion cf the Continental army then collected in place was on the same ridge of land with the Quaker meeting-house, and from two to three miles south of it on the road from Cold Sorin', to Carmel, the present county seat of Pulnam county, and within the limits of the town of Patterson in the same county. I was at that time in my tenth year, and like all boys be longing to ardent whig families, at that stir- ring period, was intensely interested in th. great events occurring aroand me. My father and mother took me with them to see the camp, about ten miles distant from their residence The 17'th of October was selected%s the time for the visit, because it was known that there would be a grand parade and festival on that day, it being the first anniversary of the sur render of Burgoyne. For tbe same reason many others availed themselves of the occa sion to visit the camp, and a large crowd cf both sexes was collected. As everybody was eager to see General Washington, they huddled together upon the road leading from the General’s head-quarters to the camp, all on horseback, as everybody then rode who rode at all. The cavalcade of officers aud their attendants who had gone up to bead-quarters to escort the Commander-ia Chief down to the place of entertainment socn made their appearance. As it was passing the company of spectators, my father inquired of a soldier standing by the road, whether “his Excellency” was in the train which was just riding by- He answered. I remember, thus: Yes, sir ; he on the right hand in front, ou the hlaze-faced horse,”—and a noble horse he was. The cavalcade, immediately after it had passed the throng of spectators, wheeled to the left of the road into an open field at the foot of a very abrupt but short ascent to the flat upon its top, where the tables were set under a long shade of green boughs. As soon as the General’s horse came to the foot of tbe hill, he sprang forward with the swiftness of a bird and ascended it rather by leaps than au ordi nary gallop, and reached the top before any other one of the escort hi;d got half way un. Certainly never before, nor during the long years since, did I behold so noble an equestri an figure; for General Washington excelled in horsemanship, as he did in everything the which he undertook. When the General and his attendants had rived at their destination, the spectators dis mounted, and took their stand outside of fir assembly of officers, who joined in numeral parties in conversation for a long while brrore dinner was served. My eyes were riveted da ring the whole time upon General Washing ton. whose noble personal appearance and ma jestic bearing so far exceeded any other pres ent as to leave no ground for comparison.— A lofty stature two inches'over six feet, with x form as perfect in its proportions as possible i represent both gracefulness and strength- nearer and repeated view of him many years afterwards, when in tho office of President of the United States, enables me to say. that ray first estimate of his personal appearance not a mistaken one. though formed in the en thusiasm of boyhood. I gazed at him fore* least two hours, scarcely having patience to have my attention turned to other distinguish ed officers whom my father pointed out to C’-e— *uch as the Baron Steuben, General Knox, and the Baron DeKalb. I then believed that I was looking at the noblest and best man in the world, and eighty years of reading and refla tion which have since elapsed, has in no vise changed that early impression. The General was dressed in a blue coa > with buff lacings and large gold epaUiCts. buff small clothes and vest, and boots reachiog quite to the knee, llis hair, of which he 13 a great quantity, was craped and turned L-* from his forehead, and dressed in_a very and long braid or twist upon his back; whole profusely powdered, as was then the fashion. His sword was what was called * hanger, shaped like a sabre, but much jho. er and lighter. It was worn attached ' b*lt around the waist, under the coati handle was of green ivory, the hilt and S'-'_, of silver, and was the same that was to Congress some years ago by tbe rc whom i? was bequeathed by tbeGetterals'• Such were my first impressions at the stg the greatest man of his own or any other The picture is stamped upon my ,ne . m °^ c . living light, and time seems only tome i - the freshness of its coloring.
