LIFE OF JOHN LEDYARD.

In the number of the North American Review,
Just published, Hillard and Brown, Cambridge, adj
vertise as in press, g The Life Of John Lcdyard The
american Traveller, comprising Selections from has
Journals and Correspondents: by JARED SPARKS" ;"
The following notice is given of this work
A few particulars in the singular character OF
Ledyard are we'll known, and have been often cited
as examples of extraordinary energy and decision OF
mind. and as evidences of uncommon love OF ad-
venture and ardor of pursuit. But no general ac-
count of his life has been written, indeed any
thing more than very brief and imperfect sketch,
which was drawn up in England by the secretary of
the African Association. This was done short
time after his DEATH in the year 1890, as tribute to
his memory for having his life in promoting
the interests of that society. Bot the writer had
scanty Materials and knew hardly any thing OF Led
yards history, except during the three last years OF
his life. The notices contained In Biographical
Dictionaries, both in this country and England, are
copied from this memoir, and are equally imperfect
1t is understood that Mr.. Sparks has obtained
from different branches of I.edyard's family and
from other sources his manuscript journals, and
many of his original letters, which afford materials
for a more full and authentic biography. From
these papers the volume now promised TO the pub
lie has been prepared. The incidents OF his life
are extremely various, and many of them excite
strong interest by the enthusiasm, perseve verance, and
Uncommon vigor of mind, which they indicate tie

all their feports and statements, show the. cha-
racter Of the General in much more untarora-
bic light than that in which IL was before exnl-
bited. And therefore, although General JACK
son may have abundant ason 10 exciaim save
me from my friends" his friends have more
reason to exclaim "saye US from the defence OIL
a man who is indefensible."
We close this article with the following e4-
tract from the letter Of Mr.. Isaacks:
"John Harris, the pretended author OF the
letter, had lived several years in this county,
Franklin, Ten before heentered the militia ser,
vice in 1914. knew him well, and had paruai
acquaintance with his situation; but not WISH
ing altogether to rely on my own recoiiee'ion'
went to the immediate neighborhood where ne
had resided, and conversed with NUMBER Oh
his intimate acquaintanccs-intelliSen and re-
spectacle, whose concurring account renders
| the following statement of facts indisputabie.
That Harris was about Fifty years old, not sub
/ ject to militia duty (the law Of Tennessee max
ing an exemption lherefrom at forty-hve)-Ihat
! Judgment Of FIVE or six hundred dollars had
been obtained against him and three other men
as his securities, on account OF delinquency
in the Office Of coroner which he had once held.
An act of the Legislature Of Tennessee in force
during the war, suspended all proceedings at
law against persons attached 10 the militia oil
the stale in actual seIvice-ro delay the collec-
ton of this judgment, Harris aired himself as
a substitute in the place OF a man OF the name
Of Sheriff. who had been drafted to perform a
duty in 1914, and received horse i'll addition
TO the monthly pay that he should draw. hat
Harris had wife and nine children-haa TWO
sons grown, the eldest was married, and lived
near him-the second wen, into the army with
hm-that when Harris deserted from the Greek
nation, he came home, and his son with him.
where they were both arrested ard taken back
by some of the party sent in pursuit Of TIE de-
serters. That after the execution Of Harris his
son came home, having, as it vas rnd':s;nod
been excused from punishment on arr"r'. =

example wa, supposed to ha,- had o. ~,
Tha; Harris's youngest child was ior 81
, years old at the time
Though coming from highly prejudiced
, sourceMr. Isaacks gives history Of the untot
,unate man, which, taken in connection will
his wife, his children, his age, and his poverty
exhibits melancholy fate that connot be view
ed without appalling the soutest heart. Tx
question cannot be TOO seriously asked-ough

ed while no one knows where Mr.. CanIing's
began, or where it will end.
England did nothing but follow in the wake
of the United States on the South American
question; and it was the powerful and perse-
vering eloquence Of Henry Clay, enlightening,
warming, and at last Convincing, in The legis!a.
| tive hall, where it was Numbered forth, and
throughout the country, that mainly produced,
and that certainly accelerated, the great mes-
sure Of recognition by the United States.
George Canning, if he did any thing at all,
which his coun,ryman Lord Grey will not, as
we have seen, admit, did nothing but follow at
am humble calculating distance, (lhis is his own
confession il we are TO take it, the manly,
straight forward, lofty steps of Henry Clay
We had hardly indeed hoped from the magma
nimity of MIR. Canning an acknowledgment,
that Henry Clay, an orator and statesman, rear,
ed under The American canopy, first led the way
TO the European recognition Of these states;
though such be the fact, and MIR. Canning knew
it, But we were little prepared to expect that
he would have put in the bold claim of having

What happy prospect Of union did these
proceedings forbode, and this result too, proba'
bly, produced by the prudent, and temperate,
and skillful management of Mr.. Adams! But
dreams Of ambition soon arose in the minds oil
many of the federal leaders. They saw in the
difficulties which threatened the country state
Of things which might again bring them inte
power, and they Stunned and rent the person
| with whom they thus far acted" they deserted
! MIR. Adams and the measures they had pledged
themselves to support, and then to justify
themselves raised the hue and cry OF deserlon
against them.

Now though the farm might, ny what the
Jacksonites call totitudinarian eonstruci,on' OF
by the "second section," be termed post,
vet it was very evident that no respect was
paid to the special circumstances. !.

forage is not actually drawn, in lieu OF It 30 per
month for each horse shall be allowed, PROVO
ed that neither forage, nor money shall be drawn
by the officers, but for horses actually kept by
them in service.

during period when he had not one III actual
