TO THE EDITOR OF THE PATRIOT:
S1R-As you have given publicity to the fact
that an elegant sword was recently presented

to the individual who added at his own expense
those valuable appendages to the ''war-lke

youthful daughters las understand) designed
aud executed the former article. With spi-
rit that does him credit, Captain. NJ, on the ar
rival of the General from Europe, determined
on this method of eviDcing his respect, and ac-
cordingly spared no expense TO render the gift
worthy OF the occasion. As you have not yet
mentioned any particulars relative to- the belt
'or plate, 1t may not be improper to say, for the
information of such of your readers as have not
seen either of them, that the groundwork of
the former is of exquisite purple velvet, with the
initials OF the Hcros name and the date when
he commenced his honorable career worked
with silver OH the back part, thus: ''II. 10. f."

Great Storm IN England-The nor.

tern coast of the island were visited with
tremendous storm, on the 10th, lltt,
and 18th of October. 1t was estimated
that not less than ~ vessels were driven
on shore between The Humber and Holy
Island, and many persons lost their
lIves.-The river Ouse rose 81 feet
above Its ordinary level, and in the
neigh"ourhood of the city of York, il
overfowed It's banks to such an event,
that all the streets adjoining The river
were completely flooded, and the inhab-
itants were under the necessity of re-
moving their furniture, &c. TO the upper
stories Of the houses. The TYNE and
many of the smaller rivers in Northum-
berland, were sweIled to great height.
and in several of the northern countries
the wind was so strong as to unroof
houses, and the public roads were so
impeded by trees torn up BY the roots,
and large branches blown of, that the
coaches proceeded with difficulty and
danger.

Bribery, &c.-An investigation has recently

charge Of corruption preferred by Mr. W. J.
Caldwell, formerly of Barre, in this County,
against several Of the members who voted for
the Incorporation of the Chemical Bank in the
City of New-York The committee to whom
the subject was referred, have made report
which dscloses scene of deprayity, and
system Of bribery and fraud almost without a
parallel in the annal, of legislation. By the
report it appears that several of the members
received money from the agents Of the bank
applicants in such manner, as to leave no
doubt that it was intended as computation
for their roieS. About 10000 dollars was dis.
tributed in sums varying from 100 dollars to
1000 dollars, according to the standing and
influence of the person to be secured. A con-
siderable portion Of this was paid to what is

BONAPARTE.

An Officer of the old army is pub
fishing splendid representation, both
in writing and engraving, of the traits Of
heroism which he discovered through
his life. This speaks well for the state
of France-perhaps also for the spirit
of the age, which will not submit TO be
gagged on the one side or deceived on
the other. No one would have dared
to do similar justice TO Cromwell,
and in consequence his character has
been distorted by the malice Of his enc
mics, and his generation has been all
but lost TO history.-There is one Incl
dent in these graphick and written au-
ecdotes which We believe curious as
well as new. 1t occurred in Egypt -
KLEBER was envious and refractory, and
disobeyed an order of the General. Bon
aparte sent for him. He attended with
a naughty bearing, which, joined TO his
stature, gave him an air of heroism.-
The staff--all present at this scene
silently contrasted the heroic height and
proud deportment of Kleber, with the
little person, and pale countenance of
the Observation-Disclosures at
a glance read their thoughts, aud chang
ed aspect in an instant. His counte-
nance became animated, his eyes fash
ed, his voice broke out with extraordi-
nary splendor, -" which of u.s." said he,
addressing Kleber, SIS above the other

MR.. .ADLU.M'S VINEY.aRD.

Mr.. John Album of Georgetown, in
the District Of Columbia, has published
in the American Farmer an account OF
the produce of his vineyard for the
present year, which deserves the at.
tention of planters 10 the middle and
southern states. He sold cuttings of the
vine from four acres for S304:5o, and
obtained wine from two acres to the
value Of Sl500:68. The whole ex.
pense, exclusive of labour, was S429:83.
The labour of cultivating the grapes.
and preparing the wine for market, was
less than is required on the same guam

tity of land, in producing and curing
crop of tobacco. One acre requires a
bout as much labour as three of corn.
The vines, if well attended to, begin TO
bear the third year after planting; and
Mr.. A. thinks the average crop for the
next seven years will be about 500 gal
Ions Of wine to the acre. The present
has been the worst year for grapes in
the last twenty, in consequence, as is
supposed, Of the cold and wet weather
the last week in May and the first in
June. Mr.. A. says, "my Tokay, or
Catawba, Bland, Madeira, and all the
foreign kinds OF varieties, persisted f;
while the SchuylkilI, Muscadel, Con-
stantia, or Cape of Good Hope grape,
and Worthington, bore fair crop; SO
that, from this circumstance, | would
recommend to every person, who may
plant vines, to have moiety of these
kinds, as | believe they will never fail
to produce fair crop, for such a year
as this may not happen again in twenty
years" Cuttings may be, obtained Of
Mr.. A. in any quantity, and at fair
price. Family Visitor.

An extraordinary and ingenious es-
cape was made from the State Prison at
Charlestown a few days since, by one of
the convicts. He worked in shop as
cabinet maker and upholsterer, apd
having orders for large sofa, he mad.
it with a false bottom, and stuffed it with
some very light mate rials. In the space
formed between the top and lower bot
tom he contrived TO introduce his body,
at the time when the waggoner came to
take away the piece of furniture. He
was a small man, and his weight was moi
sufficient to produce any suspicion in the
mind of the driver. The sofa, thus
loaded, was accordingly slowed away in
the baggage Wagon, and our hero eff. cl-
ed his escape in d manner, that for some
time eluded the detection of the officers.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1924.
PRESIDENTIAL.

1t having become apparent that no choice
of President can be effected by the people, it
becomes an object, not of mere speculation or
curiosity, to ascertain whether either of the
candidates, and, if either, which of them
stands decidedly foremost as the choice of the
people. lift should appear that such is the
case with either of them, ought it not to have
great weight with the House Of Representa-
tives in making their selection We have al
ready given an opinion that if the choice was
made by the people, voting directly for Presi-
dent in their primary assemblies, without the
nterVention-of Electors, Adams would have
obtained much larger number of votes than
either of his competitors. To show that this
opinion is we'll founded, we have made an es-
innate which we lay before our readers.
We divide the States into five classes, the
first OF which comprises the six New-England
states, containing white population of
1,638,455. We estimate fve-sixths of this
population to be in favor of Adams, in prefer
ence to either of his competitors. This is a.
bout the proportion of the votes in the States
where the Electors were chosen by the peo-
pie, and Vermont is still more unanimous.
This ratio gives to Adams a population of
1856 1868;
Our second class includes only New-York.
There is no certain means of determining the
exact relative strength of the several candi.
dates in this State, but FROM the best mean. of
Information we possess, it is believed that the
people are as unanimous for Adams as in New.
England. AT the late election, ballot boxes
were IN many places prepared for the people
TO express their preference, and the result con-
firmed this opinion, the ballots being nearly
all given for Adams. But as we prefer to un-
derrate rather than exceed his real strength,
we Will call it but three-fourths, which on
population of 1889, 754 gives him 999, 55l.
In the third class we put New-Jersey, Del
aware, Maryland and Mississippi, containing
white population of 6l2,O8O, one half of
which is believed to be for Adams. hut we
shall say but three-sevenths, which gives
MIN s62, 1920.
We put Virginia, North and South Carroll.
ma, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Ala
oama' containing white population OF
2,l74, 1875 into the fourth class. A very low
estimate is one-fourth for Adams, which gives
him go gao
The remaining States, Pennsylvania, Geor-
sla, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Louisiana,
with a white population of 2,056,652, make
the Nth and last class. 1t is difficult to deter
mine what proportion of the votes in these
States might be cast for Adams. From the
! number OF votes given to his ticket in the few
counties in which it was run in Pennsylvania,
as we'll as from the information we have 9TH
erwise obtained, we are satisfied that at least
one-iourth OF the people of that State are in
his favor. We therefore believe that a low
estimate on this class will be ne-fifth, or
