II l777, while The American army
lay ii Naliy Forge, god old Quaker
by the name Of Potts had occasion %
pass through a thick wood near head
quarters. As he, traversed the dark
brown forest, he heard AZ a distance be-.
fore him, ayoice, which, as he advan-
ced, became more and more fefyid and
interesting. Approaching with siowness
and circumspection, whom should he be-.
hold, in a dark bower, apparently form
ed for the purpose, bur the Commander
in Chief OF the Armies Of the United
State on his knees in an act of devotion
to the Supreme Ruler Of The Universe!
At the moment when friend Potts con.
eealed BY the trees came up, Washington
was interceding for,his beloved country.
With tones Of gratitude that laboured for
adequate expression, he adoredthat ex-
uber;rnt goodness which from the depth
of o5scurity, had exalted him to the
head of a great nation, and that nation
fighting at fearful odds, for all; the world
halds dear. He utterly disciaimed all
ability Of his own for this arduous con-
flict--he wept at the thought ofthat irre-
trieyable ruin his mistakes might bring
on his country, & with patriots pathos,
spreading the Interested unborn millions
before the eye ofeternal mercy ne implor-
ed the. aid Of that arm which guides the
starry hosts. Soon as the General had
finished his devotions, he retired, friend
Potts retained 10 his house, and threw
himself into chair BY the side of his
