with Mexico, wit's a Capt. B. lie was in
Gen Scott’s line, and was made Quarter

had arrived to open negotiations for peace,
found him dismayed, in tho midst of his

of Washington.
The revolution was over, Eight year s
conflict hna ceased, ami the warnors were
now to scperatc for ever, turning ■
weapons into plough-shares and their
camps into workshops. Tho spectacle,
though a sublime and glorious one, was
yet attended with sorrowful feelings ; for
alas! in the remains of that gallant army
orpatriotie soldiers now aboul to d.sband
without pay, without support, pov
orty and disease, The country, had not
the means to be grateful. _ ■
The details of the condition of many ot
the officers and soldiers of that penod, ac
cording to history and oral tradition ware
melancholy in tho extreme. _ Possessing
no means of patrimonial inheritance to fu
back upon—thrown out of oven the peril
ous support of u soldier at the commence
ment of winter, and hardly fit for any o h
er duty thuu that of the camp—their situ
ations can better be imagined than desen- j
bCd A sinole instance, as a sample of the
situation°cf many of the officers as rela
ted ofthe conduct of Baron Steuben, may
not be amiss. When the main body of
the armv was disbanded at Newburg.and
the veteran soldiers were bidding a part
in" to each other, Lieut. Cql. Cochran, an
n»ed soldier of the New Hampshire lino,
remarked with tears in his eyes as he
shook hands with tho baron :
“For myself 1 could standit» hut my
wife and daughters are in the garret ol
that wretched tavern, '<mtklj have n 0
means of removing y , ,
“Come, come,” said thHdron, “dont
give way thus. I will pay my respects
to Mrs. Cocluan and her. daughters. _ |
’ When the good old soldier left them their i
countenances were warm with gratitude
for he left them all ho had.
In one of the Rhode Island regiments
were severnl companies ot black troops,
who had served through the whole war,
and their bravery and discipline were un
surpassed. The baron observed one ol
those poor negroes on tho wharf at New •
burg, apparently in great distress.
“What is the matter, brother soldier t
“Why Mnsterßuron,! wanta dollar to
get homo’with, now that Congress lias no
further use for me.”
The Baron was absent for a few mo
ments, and then returned with a silver |
dollar, which he had borrowed. „
“There it’s all I could get. I “ko it.
Tho negro took it /with joy', hailed a
sloop which was passing down lho rl '£‘. l °
New York, and ns lie reached the deck,
took off his hat and said—
“ God bless you Master Baron !
These aro only single illustrations o
the army at the close oHlm war. ndeed
Washington had this view at tho close of
his farewell address to tho army at Rocky
Hill, in Novomber, 1793. “And now be
ing about to conclude these his last public
orders, to tnko his ultimate leave in a
short time ofthe military character and to
bid a final adieu to tho armies he has so
long had the honor to command, he can
only again oiler, in their behalf his re
commendations to their country, and lus
prayer to tho God of armies.
“May ample justice bo done them here,
and may the choicest of heavens favors,
both hero and hereafter, attend those who,
under divine auspices, havo secured tnnu
merable blessings Tor others.”
“With these wishes and this benedic
tion, the Commandor-in-Chicf is about to
retire from service. Th 6 curtain of sopa
ration will soon be drawn, and theniilitu
ry scenes to him will ho closed forever.
The closing of the “military scenes, 1
am about to relate: w ,
New York had bceu occupied by Wash
ington on the 251 h of November A few
davs afterwards he notified tho President
of Congress, which body was then in ses
sion at Annapolis, in Maryland,—that ?s
the war was now closed, ho should con
sider it his duty to proceed thenco and
surrender to that body the commission he
had received from them seven years be-
T(io morning of tho sth of December,
1793, was a, sad and heavy one to tho
remnant ofthe American army in thccily |
of Now York. Tho noon of that day was
to witness the farewell,of Washington,—
ho was to bid adieu to his military com
'rades forever. Thu officers who had
beeiHyith him in solemn council, tho pri
vates who had fought and bled in tho ‘hea
vy fight,* ’ "underiiis,orders,.. were to hear
his commands no longer.—Tho manly
form and dignified countenance of the
“great captain” ,was henceforth to livo in
their memories. . , ~
As tho hour of noon approached, the
whole garrison, at the request of Wash
ington himself, was put in motion, and
marched down Broad street to Francis s
tavern, his head-quarters. Ho wished to
take leave of private soldiers aliko with ot
fleers, and bid them all adieu. His favo
rite light infantry wore drawn up in lino
fncing inwards, through Pearl street at
the foot of Whitehall, where a bargo wns
in readiness to convoy him to Powell s
Hook. .
Within tho dining room of fhe ffivem

Assembled there were Knox, Greene,
Clinton, Steuben, Gates and others, who
had 6orvcd with him fuithfully in the ‘ten*
ted field but alasl where were others
that had entered the war with him, seven
years before? Their bones crumbled in
the soil from Canndn to Georgia. Mont*
cbmery hud yielded up his lifo at Quebec,
Wooster fell at Danbry, Woodhull was
burbarously murdered wlrlo a prisoner at
the battle of Long Island, and Mercer fell
mortally wounded at Princeton ; the brave
and chivalric Laurens,. alter displaying
the most heroic courage in tho trenches ol
Yorktown, died in a trifling skirmish m
South Carolina ; the brave but eccentric
Lee was no longer living, and Putnam,
like a helpless child was stretched upon the
bed of sickness. Indeed tho battle-field
and time Had thinned the ranks which en
tered with him) on tho conflict of ludepOn
dencu. ' .
Washington entered tho room—the
hourof soperution had come. As hrf rai
sed his eyo and glanced on the faces or
those assembled, a tear coursed down his,
cheek, and his voice was tremulous as lie
saluted them. Nor was he alona.—Men.j
‘albeit unused to tho melting muqi),’ stood,
around him, whoso hands uplifted to cov
er their 1 brows, told that'the tears which
they in vain attempted to conceal, bespoke
the anguish they could not hide.
'’After a moment’s conversation, Wash
ington called fur a glass of wine. It was
brought to him. Turning lo tho officers,
ho thus addressed them : ;
“■With a heart lull of love and gratitude,
f now take my final leave of you, and 1
most devoutly wish your latter days may
bo as prosperous and happy as your for
mer ones have been glorious and honora
ble. Ho then ruised the glass to his lips,
and added, ‘1 cannot come toeachofyouto
take my leave, but shall ho obliged, to you
if each of you will take mo by the hand.
General Knox, who stood nearest, hurst |
into tears and advanced incapable of utter-1
anco. Washington grasped him by that
hand, and embraced him. The officers
came.up successively, and took an atiec
tionato leave. No words were spoken,
but all wus the “silent elegance of tears.”
What wero mere words at sue!) a scene ?
Nothing. It was tho feeling of the heart
—ihrillmg though unspoken.. •
When tho Inst officer hud embraced him
Washington left the room,.followed by his
comrades, and passed through the lino of
lioht infantry. Ilia step was slow and
measured, his head uncovered, and tours
flowing thick and fast, as he looked Iron)
side io side at tho veterans to whom he
now bado adieu forever. Shortly an
event occurred more touching than all tho
rest. A gignntio soldier who had stood
by his side at Trenton, stepped forth from
the ranks, and extended his hand. !
“l'urewell, my beloved General, fare-1
well."
Washington grasped lus hand, in con
vulsive emotion, in both of his.. All.dis
cipline was now at an end. Tho officers
could not restrain tho tnen as they rushed
forward to take Washington by the hand, i
and the violent sobs and tears ol the sol- 1

At leng/h Washington reached the bargoj
ut Whitehall, and entered it. At the first
stroke of the oars he rose, und turning to
the companions of his glory, by waving
his hat, bade them a silent adieu, i heir
