THE SWORD OF JACKSON On the occasion of the presentation of the sword of General JACKSON to Congress, Mr. BENTON said : Mr. Chairman,-the manner in which this sword has been used for the honor and bene fit of the country, is known to the world ; the manner in which the privilege was ob tained of so using it, is but little known, even to the living age, and must be lost to posterity unless preserved by contemporane ous history. At ,the same time it' is well worth knowing, in order to show what diffi culties talent may have to contend with, what mistakes Governments may commit, and up on what chances and accidents it may de pend that the greatest talent, and the purest patriotism, may be able to get into the ser vice of its country. There is a moral in such history which it may be instructive to Governments and to people to learn. When a warrior, or a statesman, is seen in the midst of his career and in the fullness of his glory, showing himself to be in his natural place, people overlook his previous steps and suppose he had been called by a general voice—by wise councils—to the fulfilment of a natural destiny. In a few instances it is so; in the - greater part not. In the greater part there is a toilsome, uncertain, discoura ging, and mortifying progress to be gone through before the future resplendent man is able to get on the theatre, which is to give him the use of his talent. So it was with Jackson. He had his difficulties to sur ' mount, and ,surmounted them. He conquer ed savage tribes and the conquerors of the conquerors of Europe ; but he had to con quer his own Government first—and dit it— and that was, for him, the most difficult of the two ; for, while his military victories were the regular result of a genius for war and brave troops to execute his plans—ena bling him to command success—his civil vic tory over his own Government was the re sult of chances and accidents, and the can trivances of others, which he could have but little hand, and no control. I proceed to give, some view of this inside and prelimina ry history, and have some qualification for the task, having taken some part, though not great, in all that I relate. Retired from the United States Senate, of which he had been a member, and from the supreme judicial bench of his State, on which he had sat as a judge, this future warrior and President—and alike illustrious in both char acters—was living .upon his farm, on the banks of the Cumberland, when the war of 1812 broke out. He was a major general in the Tennessee militia—the only place he would continue to hold—and to which he had been elected by the contingency of one vote—so close was the chance for a miss in this first step. His friends believ ed that he had military genius, and proposed him for the brigadier's appointment which was allotted to the West. That appointment was given to another and Jackson remained unnoticed, on his farm. Soon - another ap pointment of general was allotted to the West. Jackson was proposed again ; and was again left to attend to his farm. Then a batch of generals, as they were called, was• authorized by law—six at a time—and from all parts of the Union ; and then his friends believed that surely his time had come. Not so the fact. The six appointments went else where, and the hero patriot, who was born to lead armies to victory, was still left to the care of his fields, while incompetent men were leading our troops to defeat, to captivi ty, to slaughter ; for that is the way the war opened. The door to military service seem ed to be closed and barred against him ; and was so, so far as the government was con cerned. it may be wondered why this repugnance to the appointment of Jackson, who, though not yet greatly distinguished, was still a man of mark—had been a Senator, and a supreme judge, and was still a major general, and a man of tried and heroic courage. I can tell the reason. He had a great many home en emies, for he was man of decided temper, had a great many contests, no compromises, always went for a clean victory, or a clean defeat ; though placable after the contest was over. That was one reason but not the main lIENTINGDON, MARCH 14. 1855. one. The Administration had a .prejudice against him on account. of. Colonel Burr, with whom he had •been associated in the American Senate, and to whom he gave a hospitable reception in .his house, at the time of his western expedition, relying upon his assurance that his designs were .against..the Spanish dominion in Mexico, and not against the integrity of. this Union. ' These • were some of the causes,' not al], of Jackson's re jection from Federal military. employment. I was young then and one of his aids, and believed in his military talent-and patriotism, greatly attached to him, and was grieved and vexed to see him pass by when' so much incompetence was preferred. Besides, I was to go with him, and his appointment would be partly my own. I was vexed as were all his friends, but I did not despair as most of them did. I turn J. from the Government to ourselves—to our own resources—and look ed to the chapter of accidents to turn up a chance for incidental employment, confident that he would do the rest for himself if he could only get' a start. I was in this mood in my office, a young-lawyer with more books than briefs, when the tardy mail of that time, one "raw and gusty day" in February, 1812, brought an act of Congress authorizing the President to accept organized bodies of vol unteers, to the extent of fifty thousand—to serve one year—and to be called into service when some emergency should require it. Here was a chance. I knew that Jackson could raise general's command, and trusted, to events for him to be called out, and felt that one year was more than enough for him to prove himself. ' I drew up a plan—rode thirty miles to his house, that same raw day in February—rain, hail, sleet, wind—and such roads as we then had there in. winter— deep in rich mud and mixed with ice. I ar rived at the Hermitage—a name then but lit- . Ile known—at night fall, and found him soli tary and almost alone, but not quite ; for it was the evening mentioned in the "Thirty Years' View," when I found him with the lamb and the child between his knees. 1 laid the plan before him. He was struck with it—adopted it—acted upon it. We be gan to raise volunteer companies. While this was going on an order arrived from the War Department to the Governor (Willie Blount,) to detach fifteen hundred militia to the lower Mississippi, the object to meet the British, then expected to make an attempt on New Orleans, The Governor was a friend to Jackson, and to his country. He agreed to accept his three thousand volunteers instead of the three hundred drafted militia. He issued an address to his division. I gallop ped to the muster grounds and haranged the young men. The success was ample. Three regiments were completed—Coffee, William Hall, Benton, the colonels ; and in Decem ber, 1812, we descended the Cumberland and the Mississippi in a fleet of flat-bottomed boats and landed at Natchez. There we got the news that the British would not come that winter—a great disappointment, and a fine chance lost. 60 00 We remained in camp, six miles from Natchez, waiting ulterior orders. In March they came—not orders for further service, or even to return home, but to disband the vol unteers where they were. The command was positive, in the name of the President, and by the then Secretary at War, General Armstrong. I well remember the day—Sun day morning, the 25th day of March 1813. The first I knew of it was a message from the General to come to him at his tent ; for though as colonel of a regiment I had ceased to be aid, yet my place had not been filled, and I was sent for as much as ever. He showed me the order, and also his character, in his instant determination not to obey it, but to lead his volunteers home. He had sketched a severe answer to the Secretary at War, and gave it to me to copy, and arrange the matter of it. It was very severe. I tried hard to get some parts softened, bu t impossible. I have seen that letter since, but would know it if I should meet it in any form, anywhere without names. I concurred with the General in the determina tion to take home our young troops. He then called a "council" of the field officers, as he called it, though there was but little of the council in it—the only object being to hear his determination, and take measures for executing it. The officers verb unani mous in their determination to support him; but it was one of those cases in which he would have acted, not only without, but aginst a "council." The officers were unanimous and vehe ment in their determination, as much so as the r general was himself; for the volunteers were composed of the best young men of the couatry—farmer's sons, themselves clev er young men, since filling high offices in the State and the Federal Government—in trusted to these officers by their fathers, in full confidence that they would act a father's part by them and the recreant thought of turning them loose, on the lower Mississippi, five hundred miles from home, without the means of getting home, and a wilderness and Indian tribes to traverse, did not find a mo ment's thought in any one's bosom. To carry them back was the instant and indig nant determination, but great difficulties were in the way. The cost of getting back three thousand men, under such circumstances, must be great, and here Jackson's character showed itself again: We have all heard of his responsibilities—his readiness to assume political responsibility when the public ser vice required it; he was no w equally ready to take responsibility of another kind—mon eyed responsibility ! and that beyond the whole extent of his fortune! He had no military chest—not a.' dollar of public money —and three thousand men were not to be conducted five hundred miles through a wil derness country, and Indian tribes, without a great outlay of money. Wagons were want ed, and many of them, for transport of pro visions, baggage, and the sick, so numerous among newtroops. He had no money to hire teams ; he impressed, and at the end of the service gave drafts upon the quartermas ter general of the southern Department (Gen eral Wilkinson's) for 'the amount. The wag ons were ten dollars a day, corning and go ing. They were numerous. It was a ser- vice of two months; the amount.to be incur red was great. He incurred it, and, as will be seen, at imminent risk of his own ruin— This assumption on the General's part met the first great difficulty, but there were lesser difficulties, still serious, to be surmounted.— The troops had received no pay; clothes and shoes were worn out; men were in no condi tion for a march so long, and so exposed.— The officers had received no pay—did not ex pect to need money--had made no provisions for the unexpected contingency of large de mands - upon their own pockets to enable them to do justice to their men. But there were patriotism 'outside of the camp, as well as within:" The merchants of Natchez put their stores at our disposition—take what wegieeded—pay when convenient at Nash ville. I will name one among these patriot ic merchants—name him because he belongs to a class now struck at, and because Ido not ignore a friend when he is struck.— Washington Jackson was the one I mean— Irish by birth, American by choice, by law, and feeling, ani conduct. I took some hun dred pairs shoes from him for my regiment, and other articles; and I proclaim it here, that patriotic men of foreign birth may see that there are plenty of '.emericanato recog nize their merit—to name them with honor in• high places—and to give them the right hand of friendship when they are struck at. We all returned—were discharged—dis persed among our homes—and the fine chance on which we bad so much counted, was all gone. And now came a blow on Jackson himself—the fruit of the moneyed responsi bility whicit he had assumed. His transpor tation drafts were all protested—returned upon him for payment, which was impossi ble—and directions to bring suit. This was in the month of May. I was coming on to Washington on my own' account, and cordi ally ,took charge of Jackson's case. Suits were delayed until the result of his applica tion for relief could be heard. I arrived at this city; Congress was in session—the extra cession of the spring and summer of 1813.- 1 . applied to the members of Congress from Tennessee; they could do nothing. I applied to the Secretary at War; he did nothing.— Weeks had passed away and the time for delay was expiring at Nashville. Ruin seemed to be hovering over the head of Jackson, and I felt the necessity of some de cisive movement. I was yoUng then, and had some material in me—perhaps some boldness; and the 'occasion brought it out.— I resolved to take a step; characterized in the letter which I wrote to the general, as "an appeal from the justice to the fears of 'the Administration." I remember the words, though I have never seen the letter since. I drew up a memoir addressed to the Secretary at War, representing to him that these volun teers were drawn from the bosoms of almost every substantial family in Tennessee—that the whole State stood by Jackson in bringing them home—and that the State would be lost to the Administration, if he was left to suffer. It was upon this last argument that i I relied—all those founded in justice having failed. It was of a Saturday morning, 12th of June, that I carried this memoir to the War Office, and delivered it. Monday mor ning I came back early to learn the result of mfargument. The Secretary was not:yet in. I spoke to the chief clerk, (then the af terwards Adjutant General Parker,) and in , quired if the Secretary had left an answer for me before he left the office on Saturday. He said no ; but that he had put the memoir in his side pocket—the breast pocket—and carried it home with him, saying he would take it for his Sunday's consideration. That encouraged me—gave me a gleam of hope— and a feeling of satisfaction. I thought it a good subject for his Sunday's meditation.— Presently he arrived. I stepped in before anv body to his office. He told me quickly, and kindly, that there was much reason in what I had said, but that there was no way for him to do it—that Congress would have to give the relief. I answered him that I thought there was a way for him to do it : it was to give him an order to Gen. Wilkin son's quarter master general in the Southern Department; to pay for so much transporta tion as Gen. Jackson's command would have been entitled to if he had returned under reg ular orders. Upon the instant he took up a pen, wrote down the very words I had spo ken, directed a clerk to put them into form; and the work was done. The order went off immediately, and Jackson was relieved from imminent impending ruin, and Tennessee remained firm to the Administration Thus, this case of responsibility was over, but the original cause of our concern was still in full force. Jackson was again on his farm, unemployed, and the fine chance gone which had flattered us so ranch. But the chapter of accidents soon presented another —not so brilliant as New Orleans had prom ised, and afterwards realized—but sufficient for the purpose. The massacre at Fort Mimms took place. The banks of the Mobile river smoked with fire and blood. Jackson called up his volunteers, reinforced by some militia, marched to the Greek nation—and there commenced that career of victories which soon extorted the commission which had so long been denied to his merit, and which ended in filling the "measure" of his own "and his cou Ary's glory." And that, Mr. Chairman, was the way in which this great man gained the privilege of using that sword for his country which, after triumph ing in many fields which it immortalized, has come here, to repose in the hands of the rep resentatives of a grateful and 'admiring coun try. THE TOOTH BUSINESS.—Some men thrive on the infirmities of others. The fact as in dicated by the statistics of the tooth-manu facturing business in New York city, where there are a number of individuals or associa tions extensively engaged in it. At one place in Broadway there may occasionally be seen large rocks of quartz, which, after being ground, forms a principal ingredient, in the composition of which artificial teeth are made. One concern engaged in this business employs thirty men, and turns out three thou sand teeth per day, to be sold to dentists, and afterwards attached to gold plates, Sze.— Journal of Commerce. From the Pittsburg Daily Union Adjutant General. We saw the newly appointed Adjutant General in our city, on Saturday. He ap peared to be in tribulation, we ivondeted why he should appear so. But we were after wards informed that the present Adjutant had de clined to hand over the "documents," until a successor could be legally appointed; there fore, Mr. Power will have to wait a little longer before he becomes a General. Bide your time, Colonel, until the Governor has appointed all his aids, and then you may se cure the higher honors. The following correspondence has passed between Mr. Power and Gen. Bowman, which will explain the whole matter : HARRISBURG Feb. 7, 1855. Gem George W. Bowman, Sir :—The Gov ernor has appointed ma Adjutant General.— Will you please to inform me as to what will be the most convenient mode of conveyance by which I can receive the Books and papers which are in your posssession belonging to the office. Very respectfully, your obt. servant. Thos. J. PowER. ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE, ) r ßedford, February 12,1855- Thos. „T. Power, Esq., Sir :—I have the honor to,acknos,veledge the receipt of your note of the 7th instant, informing me that Gov. Pollock had appointed you Adjutant General of the Commonwealth, and request ed me to inform you as to the most conveni ent mode of receiving the Books and papers belonging to the office. in reply to which I would most respectfully state that, at the ex piration of my commission, on the 28th day of October, 1856, i will take great pleasure in handing over the Books, and Papers,&c., to any person legally authorized to receive them, and not sooner. Should the Governor then designate you as that person, it will cer tainly be gratifying to my feelings of perso nal regard. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, GEO. W. BOWMAN. Adjutant General; P. M. The Gazette also publishes an extract, as follows, from the opinion of a lawyer of Harrisburg : "Power bases his claim to the office an the fact that the Record reads that the appoint ment was made to fill the vacancy occasion ed by the resignation of Gen. Keenan. But the law does not contemplate a less term than three years, and the, error of the clerk, in *ma king the entry, cannot, of course, alter the operation of the Act of Assembly, or, in the slightest degree, vitiate the appointment of Gen. B. for three years.- The _Law gives him the appointment for three years, and the blunder of a clerk cannot alter it." From this it appears that the appointment of Col. Power was decidedly " previous."— Gen. Bowman has the law on his side, and he is determined to resist this usurpation of a right which does not, at present, belong to the Governor. If such rashand hasty action is to be a criteriap of Gov. Pollock's admin istrative abilities, the less he shows of them the better The New Sunday Liquor Law The following is the bill lately passed by the Legislature, the same has received the signature of the Governor, and is now a law. If enforced it will entirely surpress the traf fic in alcoholic liquors on the Sabbath. SEC 1. Be it enacted, &c., That from and after the first day of April next it shall not be lawful for any person or persons to sell trade or barter in any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider, on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, or for the keeper or keepers of any hotel, inn, tavern, ale-house, beer-house, or othet public house or place, knowingly to allow or permit any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider, to be drank on or within the premises or house occupied or kept by such keeper or keepers, his, her or their, agents or servants, on the said first day of the week. SEC. 2. That any person or persons viola ting the provisions or the foregoing section : shall for each and every offence, forfeit and pay the sum of fifty dollars, one half of which shall be paid to the prosecutor, and the other half to the guardians of the poor of the city or county in which suit is brought, or iu counties having no guardians of the poor, then to the overseers of the poor of the township, ward, or borough, in which the offence was committed to be recovered as debts of like amount are now by law recov erable in any action of debt brought in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as well for the use of guardians of the poor, (or for the overseers of the poor of the township, ward or borough, as the ease may be,j as for the person suing : Provided, That when any prosecutor is himself a witness on any trial under the provisions of this section, then the whole penalty or forfeiture shall be paid to the guardians or overseers as afore said Sc.E 3. That in addition to the, civil pen alties imposed by the last preceding section, for a violation of the provisions of the first section of this act, every person who shall violate the provisions of that section, shall be taken and deemed to have committed a misdemeanor, and shall, on conviction there of, in any criminal court in this Common wealth, be fined in any sum not less than ten dollars or more than ore hundred dollars, and be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not less than ten days nor more than sixty days, at the discretion of the court ; and upon being twice convicted, as aforesaid. he shall forfeit any license he may have for selling the aforesaid liquors. Broke lip The Know-Nothing lodge in Raymond lately had a meeting, and dissolved with three cheers for Gov. Baker ! It looks as though "the order" is rapidly going to pieces in New Hampshire. This will be a beauti ful dissolving view.—Boston Post. So it will . be everywhere. No man of sense can calmly shut his eyes to the fact VOL. 10, NO. 89. that the whole organization has been effec ted for the purpose of carrying out . a"Whig trick." Every day's experience proves this fact. The result of the Senatorial election in this State is so conclusive on this pont, that we doubt very much if a single member who was formerly a democrat, will deny it,. Know-Nothingism has had its day. ft hai done its work, and from now on, henceforth' and forever., it will wane until nothing, shall be left of it but the simple fact that once in the' political history of this country such an or ganization did exist.

They drink like fish here; every introeuotiou costs me a silver top. I rtan't even turn round without forking over. a quarter. Have to pay a "kit's eye" for, being shown the direction of a street. Am frequently invited to change breath with members, but they invariably leave me to settle. When I send my clothes to the washerwoman, my room-mate sends his at the same time, and leaves me to pony over for both when they come back. Am asked to change a ten dollar bill by one, and to loan five to auother, the first turns out to be worth but fifty cents on the dollar, and the last I never hear of again ! Cummins ! it's all " going." 012 i hea vens ! the last is the worst of all. I have just rung for my bill, and find upon it eleven : bottles o wine and eighty one whiskey Pun ches which I never called for. Am no gen tleman if I dispute the bill—it takes my last dollar—my affairs are in a state of un certainty, and I return home a dead head.— Good bye, Cummins ; —you have always been pretty good to me, good fellow,—noble soul —boo—hoo—hoo—hoo grave stone; I shall call and make my selection when I return. A plain inscription would be preferred. As for the device—say' the American eagle hold ing in his claws my memorial ; a pair of scales representing interest weighing down principle, and "material aid" in the back ground. In order to avoid a public reception, I shall return at midnight. It is my.present intention to announce myself a candidate for the poor-house. The train has just left with' me in it. Igo in the emigrant car. Yours truly, B. BLIGIITED. A REVEREND HORSE TIIIEF.-Our readers: no doubt remember an item we published last . week to the effect tnat a man named Henry_ Johnston had stolen a horse from a gentle-_ man, living near Brookville, and that it was thought he was in the city, or had come here.' Col. Brady, editor of the Brookville Jefferso nian, made us acquainted with the full par ticulars of the case, but at his request we re-,, frained from giving anything but the mere announcement of the theft, he hoping to be able to capture the thief. The horse was sold by Johnston in Blairsville. The Apala chian, in giving an account of the transac tion, says that he first asked upwards of $1:00 for him, but finally sold him for about $4O to Mr. Samuel Dixon. This great difference in price excited suspicion, after he had left, that the horse was stolen, and some gentle ! men from Brookville, who chanced to be. in town on their way back from Pittsburgh, were asked about the matter, and on . exami nation recognized the horse as one which had been stolen from Mr. John Shauffner, about thirteen miles from Brookville, the night previous to Johnston's arrival here.— They, however, knew no person of the name of Henry Johnston in Jefferson county.— Col. Brady got a description of the man, and started in pursuit of him to Pittsburgh, where he had stated he was going to buy flour, for which purpose he said he was compelled to sell the horse. No trace of him, however, was found in that direction. Oh inquiry, however, it turned out, that the pretended Henry Johnston was a local Methodist preach er, named Aiken Brown, from near:Perrys ville, Jefferson county—a man who had here tofore borne an excellent character. Instead of going to Pittsburgh, he had returned home and we learn was arrested at Perrysville by the Sheriff of Jefferson county after the facts became known there, but succeeded in mak ing his escape from his custody to parts un known. He was formerly a regular minis ter of the Wesleyan Methodist church, but latterly had been acting occasionally as a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal connection. While he vas here with the stolen horse, he stated that he intended to apply for admission into Pittsburgh Confer ence, and for an appointment. Mr. Shauff ner came to town on last Friday, and obtain ed the horse.—Pittsburgh, Union. TRUTH IN CONVERSATION,—The love of truth is the stimulous to all noble conversa tion. This is the root of all the charities.— The tree which springs from it may have a thousand branches,. but they will all bear a golden and generous fruitage. It is the lof tiest impulse to inquire—willing to cornmu nicate and more willing to receive—con temptuous of petty curiosity, but passionate for glorious knowledge.—Speech without it is but babble. Rhetoric is more noisy but less useful than the tinman's trade. When the love of truth fires up the passions, puts its lightning in the brain, then men may know that a prophet is among them. This is the spring of all heroism, and clothes the martyr with a flame that outshines the flame that kills him. Compared with this, the em- . ulations of argument—the pongencies of sar casm -j--the pride of logic—the pomp of deo- JamatiOn are as the sounds of automaton to the voice of man.—Dewey. 0:7 Tho Methodist conference of Alabama is agitating the subject of building a male col lege. It is proposed to raise $lOO,OOO for that purpose.
