WRITTEN ON A PORTRAIT OF W,
H. HARRISON
BY MRS. AMALIA B. WELBY,
Hail pictured image! thine immortal art,
Rath snatcli'd a Hero from the arms of death,
In whose broad bosom beat the noblest heart
That ever drew on earth a balmy breath ;
For while amid the sons of men he trod,
That true nobility to him was given,
Whose zeal is sta;np'd by an approving God,
Whose ever blooming tale comes from Hea.
The fire of genius glistened in his glance,
•Twos written on his calm, majestic brow,
That men might look upon its clear expanse
And read that God and Nature made him so;
Yet that pale temple could not always keep
The soul imprisoned in its earthly bars,
&rn for the skies, his godlike soul duth
sweep
The boundless circle of the radiant stars.
How soft the placid smile that seemed to bask
Round those pale features, once the spirit's
shrine,
And hover round those lips that only ask
A second impress from the hand divine!
And look upon that brow! a living light
Plays like a sunbeam o'er his silver hair,
As if the happy spirit in its flight
Had left a saint-like glory trembling there.
Yet tho' some skilful hand may softly paint
The noble form and features we adore,
Such deeds as thine are left, oh happy Saint
And left alone for Memory to restore.
And still thy virtue like a soft perfume
That rises from a bed of faded flowers,
Immortal as thyself, shall bud and bloom
. .
Deep in these hearts, these grateful hearts
of ours.
Sons of Columbia! ye whose spirits soar
Elate with joyous hopes and youthful fires,
Go, imitate the hero you deplore,
For this is all that God or man requires.
On! while you bend the pensive brow of
grief,
Muse on the bright example he has given,
And strive to follow your ascended chief,
Whose radiant foot prints lead to tame and
heaven.
Oh guard his grave! It is a solemn trust,
Nor let a single toeman press the sod
Beneath whose verdure sleeps the sacred
dust,
Once hallow'd by the quick'ning breath of
God. -
Thus in his lonely grandeur let him lie,
Wrapt in his grave on fair Ohio's shore,
His deeds, his virtues, all that could not die,
Remain with us, and shall for evermore.
EXCELLENT JEU D'ESPRIT,
Said Stiggins to his wife one day,
"We've nothing left to eat ;
If things go on in this queer way,
We shan't make BOTH ENDS MEET.
The dame replied, in words discreet,
"We're not so badly fed,
If we can make but one end MEAT,
And make the other BREAD."

- cfuesting 50 iron stoves ]
Albany, Nov, Bth 1776.
Sin—Mr. Livingston's furnace not be..
ing in blast, has disappointed me in getting
stoves from thence. That at Salisbury is
employed in casting cannon, and I am
informed that there is a furnace in the
Highlands, where they may be procured.
Permit me to beg the favour of you to get
the owner to cast fifty of the lagest size
in common use. They are to have pipes
fixed on them. I wish to have them done
as soon as possible, and sent to this place.
I shall immediately order payment on
receiving the account.

Your obedient humble servant.

DEAR SlR—Yours of the Ist instant I
have received, together with the inaruc
tions for the • post office, whirls was very
agreeable, as l was often at a loss to reg
ulate the chorges. As to the secrecy of
this matter, your commands shall be rea
dily obeyed.
The ox you had from Vanderpool has
been killed, and turned out pretty nigh
to the opinion of the people that saw him.
He is a middling good ox, but not by far
su fat as last year.
By all that we can learn from St. Johns,
we have the greatest reason to expect that
matters will turn out well there. Gen
eral Wooster is to proceed, or is already
gone forwar4 to take possession of Mon
treal. General Slontgomery keeps St.
Johns beseiged, and by the accounts of the
prisoners, the regulars at St. Johns must
have but little provisions, Ike.
We are busy electioneering for Depu
ties and committees, the voters do not
come in so rapid as I could wish, owing to
the fair. The following are the candi
dates for Deputies r—Abm. Ten Brocek,
Abm. Yates, Junr. Jacob Cuyler, Itobt.
Yates, Henry Glen, Peter Silvester, Robt.
Van Rensselear, Francis Nicolls, Leond.
Gansevoort, Robert R. Livingston, Peter
R. Livingston, James Barker and Henry
Oothoudt.
The Judge and Nicolls almost even ;
Henry Ooothouslt by far the majority of
Barker ; Peter Van Ness and John J.
Bleecker are also in opposition to each
other ; how this will turn out I cannot say,
they being almost equal in votes of this
city.
The committee will be the same as last,
only one or two new ones in each ward.
Mrs. Yates, Miss Sooky and family are
well.
I am, dr. sir, your very hum. servt.

[Letter from His Excellency General

HEAD - QUARTERS, NEW YORK,
August 17th, 1776.
GENTLEMEN—When 1 consider that
the city of New York will in all human
probability, very soon be the scene of a
bloody conflict, I cannot hut view the
great numbers of women, children and
infirm persons remaining in it with the
most melancholy concern. When the
man of war passed up the river, the shrieks
and cries of these poor creatures, running
every way with their children, was truly
distressing; and I fear will have an un
happy effect on the ears and minds of our
young and inexperienced soldiery. Can
no method be devised for their removal ?
Many doubtless are of ability to remove
themselves, but there are others in a differ
ent situation. Some provision for them af
terwards would also he a necessary con
sideration. It would relieve me from
great anxiety if your Honorable Body
would immediately deliberate on it, and
' form and execute some plan for their re•
moval and relief, in which I will co-oper
ate and assist to the utmost of my power.
In the meantime I have thought proper to
recommend to persons under the above
description, to convey themselves without
delay to some place of safety, with their
most valuable effects.
I have the honor to be, with much re.
Bard, gentlemen, your moat obedt.
and very huble sPrvt.

LA letter from Col. Cortlandt and Capt
Platt.l
Peekskill July 22d 1776.
GENTLEMEN—There was yesterday a
council of war held at Fort Montgomery,
where it was agreed that three hundred
men would be a sufficient guard on the
east side of Hudson's river, from Antho
ny's nose to Croton, but as all the troops
belonging to this State are withdrawn, the
whole draft has fell on the New England
forces, who have agreed to stay until
Saturday next, but think it will be im
practicable to prevail on them to stay any
longer. They beg the Convention would
order such parts of the new levies as may
be raised, to be on the ground by that
time bo relieve them. Col. Cortlandt's
regiment has been called out, and think
there may be depended on about fifty or
sixty of the new levies from said regiment
by Saturday. About three hundred of
the New England troops returned home
this day, and by some pay rolls delivered
' in, 't appears that their subsistence money
for men and horses, will amount to near
six hundred pounds, therefore in order to
pay said subsistence, and discharge sun
dry other accounts, request the Conven
tion to give an order on the Treasurer of
this State for six hundred pounds, to be
paid to the bearer John Levinus,
No particular occurrence has happened,
the ships remain a little below Verplanck's
point; have made no attempt to land lately.
One of their barges was seen night before
last, rowing down the river by Taylor's
point. We have since ordered twenty
men stationed at Albert Carseu's below
Croton. The detachment from Gen. Ten
Broeck's brigade, have also left Fort Con
stitution and the heights they were order
ed to occupy above Anthony's Nose, it is
supposed in order to raise their men.
Remain, gentlemen,
Your very humble servants,

he found here; they are suspected of being
spies from Canada.
[Letter from . Henry Wisner.]
Goshen, 30th November, 1776.
Sue—H hen I got near home I found
that several of my neighbours had Collec
ted a drove of cattle tegether, amounting
to some more than 450, which they had
sold for the use ;of the American army,
and are to drive them to some place in
Jersey, there to be salted for the use of
the flying camp. And as it is so uncee
tain where our enemy will stop, or where
the beef may be kept safe in New Jersey,
I have taken the liberty to suggest to you
whether it would not be best to have them
killed and salted in some proper places
on this side of the Highlands.
I have also made bold to advise that
they may not be drove any further till I
may hear from you on the subject. I am
informed that the British troops were near
Newark day before yesterday. If you
should be of my opinion, you had best to,
send immediately. Write to Stephen
Gilberd who will be with the drove at
Gerrit Miller's in Smith's clove.
I am Gentlemen,
Your humble servant.

[Letter from John Tayler, at Albany.]
Albany Nov. 3d, 17'76.
Stn'—in compliance with an oruer and
resolve of Convention, I repaired to Cum
berland county, to unite with Mr. Sessions
and Col. Marsh, to carry into execution a
resolve of the 4th ultimo. I met those
gentlemen though without the resolution
referred to, owing to Mr. Stephen's delay,
who was to convey the report, 4-c.
The attack on our fleet on Lake Cham
plain, occasioned the militia's being called
'out, which rendered it impossible to col
lect the sense of the people until affairs
were more settled.
It was thought advisable that the report
of Convention should be dispersed through
the counties, and a proper time fired by
Col. Marsh and Mr. Sessions, (who would
be the best judges) for taking the matter
up, that I should be advised of the same,
and attend accordingly.
It is reported that Col. Warner has said,
he was advised to petition Congress to
have the Hampshire Grants set of in a
new State, by Mr. Adams one of the
Delegates.
The people are much divided, soma for
a new State, some for joining Hampshire,
others Massachusetts, many for remaining
under New York. I endeavored to dis
suade them from persisting in such idle
and delusive schemes, which would meet
with the approbation of such only as were
fond of changes, and rather choose to live'
under no government, as the conduct of
the most industrious in this affair has too
plainly evinced heretOfore.
The chairman of the committee of Cum
berland, disapproves of the letter sent by
their Delegates • it was carried by a ma
jority in their (louse, though few out of
doors knew a word of it. It was framed
by a certain 41r. Phelps, the oracle of
them parts, who I understand in very busy
in this affair.
From what I have heard, among those
people, I am led to believe they will re
main no longer tinder the state of New
York, if they can help it.
Mr. Sessions advanced five hundred
pounds to Major Hoisington of the rangers;
the remainder I am of opinion he will keep
in his hands until lie hears from Con
vention.
The enclosed I took down at a tavern
in New Malborough. The inhabitants
on my return accused me of being guilty
of a desperate mean act. They could nut
proceed to business for want of the notifi
cation, as the town clerk had no other
minutes.
1 am, sir, with great respect,
Your most obedt. humble seri , t:

[Letter from Ebenezer Lockwood.]
Pound Ridge, Nov. 29th,l 776
Slit—These are to informthat I have
been at Stanford this day, and was infor
med by several gentlemen that might be
depended that there is but a few of
the enemy's ships up the Sound, and they
but small ones—thought to have no troops
on boat d of them ; and they think the ens
emy will not land there this year. except ,
it be to plunder off some of their stock
that may be down on their necks of land.
There was landed from the brig and ten
der this day a number of men at Green..
wich, a place about two miles below the
post road near Stanford, where (as was
supposed) they thought to have taken oft'
a number of sheep, but they were disap
pointed, for some boys drove them off
while the inhabitants fired on the enemy.
The enemy got olf four poor calves under
the cover of their cannon—a poor bargain.
The ships soon went up the Sound to the
east; out of sight. The men, both old and
young, came down in large numbers,
when they heard the cannon, and from se
veral miles back, and seemed to be in
high spirits: So on the whole I think
things appear more favorable than I ex
pected in this part. Mr. Mills is to set
out to come to you on Monday next. I
hope to lie with you about the middle of
next week.

MOST LOVING HUSBAND—This comes
to let you know that I and my family are
well at present, hoping these few lines
will find you likewise, and to let you know
that Dirrick Hoagland has warned me to
go out of my house, and has forewarned
me not to repair it, for out of it he says I
shall go; for if any body comes to repair
it he says he will pull off the roof and fetch
it all home. What I shall do I know not,
for a house 1 can not get, and to get in
with flambe I can not, fur William Else'
worth lives there; so you must go to your
commanding officers and let them know
the circumstances I am in, and let them
know that I will be obliged to be turned
out of door if you don't come up and look
for a house. Come you must, if possible.
If you can't come, you must go to some
of your officers belonging to the company
where you are in, and try and get in with
one of them to go to the commanding offi
cer and see whether Derrick has any right
to turn me out of doors, since you have
listed to go and fight for liberty. Why
should I not have liberty whilst you strive
for liberty? The money you sent me I
laid nut as you ordered. But I have got
out of money; if you can't come you
must send all the money you can. So no
more at present, but I remain your loving
wife until death.

of yesterday a few minutes since, and
was just preparing to answer it when a
inessenger arrived from towards New-
Rochelle to acquaint us that early this
morning the enemy had struck their tents
and were advancing from that to this place
along the common road. Every general
officer, myself excepted, were out recon
noitering. I having arrived here laSt
night, where I was left to remove the pub
lic stores, was only left at home. Two
other expresses since arrived and confirm
ed the account of the enemy's advancing,
and our army is now drawn up in order
to receive them. The General having
come in, gives me so much leisure as to
acquaint you of the above. As to every

Sia—lt is now about twenty•three

some one of them told me one day, that
he had seen some stones in the manor
that would answer to make gun-flints,
and that if I would give him leave would
give directions to a blacksmith to make
tools, and he would cut them ; that he bad
made them in Germany ; but as it was at
that day no object, took no further• notice
of it.
