CoAsr RrLET.-The L. {. brig Nashington, mas

now preparing for surveying expedition cn our
coast.
During the last two winters the Washington. un-
Ger the comm and Of Lieut.. Fraser. has been eruis
ne on the coast for the purpose Of giving relief to
vessels in distress. In the worst weather she has
Tee, AZ sea and supplied many vessels with both
men and provision, But as the Indictment season is
over she has been erde red back 70 her old service
of coast surveying.
The relief she has afor ded, and the property that
IA. undoubtedly been saved by her timely asss-
lance has induced the Board Of Underwriters IN this
city to petition the Secretary 81 the Treasury for
an increase IN the M mber 81 winter relief vessels to
crure the entire length Of the American coast
from Labrador % the Gulf Of Mexioo-during the
winter months. -Four briggs. like the Warrington,
,is thought. will be sufficient for this business and
we hope that Mr.. Woodbury. will make arrange
nents accordingly Besides the protection afford.

Anniversary of the SeiSe of Fort MeiGs.
We learn that the Tippee anoe Central Club APP
pointed to make preparations for the celebration of
this remarkable event of the last war, quite busy
in maturing their preliminary arrangements. IL
takes place at Nblos Garden Friday OF this week,
and will probably surpass in splendor and masnn
any similar celebration that ever took place IN
New-York. The INN ense shoals OF eastern men,
who passed throug this city last week, to attend
the Baltimore Convention Will return IN time 10 DE
present at the celebration. 1t is supposed that ~
900 will have attended that Convention yesterday
and to day-and it is probable that large portion
may visit our celebration
The seige of Fort Meigs, and the brilliant sor;ie
of the 5th Of May, 1913, almost forgotten by the
country and, in some mea sure, unknown 20 the pre-
sent generation. In this days paper, we give our
readers a splendid engraving representing General
Harrison at the head of his little garrison OF one
thousand brave spirits, and despatching the gallant
Col. Miller, with detachment on the sorte against
the British batteries The best account OF that ac-
tion will be found in this days paper from the lips
ofGeneral Harrison himself that brave old soldier,
who planned and executed the battle, and drove
Proctor back to Canada. The speech containing this
description, delivered last spring, on receiy-
ing the present OF bald eagle, caught near the Fort
We can add nothing to the interest of that oescrip-
ton by any word ofou own.

or devil, that long this continues TO be re-

do not care dime-we don't say d-n-who is Pre-
sident Whether General Harrison be elected over
Van Buren, not, is less consequence than that
every American should know by heart, the history
Of those brilliant affairs of the last war, which
part and PARCEL Of the nations glory. General
Jackson has received the rewards Of grateful peo-
pie for his brilliant deeds during the last warmly
