BOYS, DO YOU HEAR THAT!


Twenty-six years ago last autumn (said
gentleman to us the other day.) was boy
attending school in log cabin, with no OH
er windows than the light afforded through the
space of two logs by the removal Of piece of
the third, with greasy bits Of paper pasted OIL as
a substitute loi glass. This bin dedicated to
learning, was situated on the outskirts of a now
populous town in Pennsylvania. No State in
the Union furnished more or better soldiers tor
the defence and protection of the Northern
frontier Of Ohio, during the late war, than did
Pennsylvania; not few of her sons were in
the army surrendered by HUI, besides num-
bers of her brave fellows were massacred and
scaIped at Winchester's and Dudtey's defeat;
Still the aliercall of General Harrison, for
more soldiers, was answered by large numbers
Of Pennsy vanians, including several from our
&lage. The departure Of these brave fellows
q m their families and friends, was then view
a las voluntary sacrifice of life for the de.
fefce of their country, and the farewell "God
bless ye," was uttered with an expression which
sank deep into the hearts of the bys,anders,
and which will never be ehaced from my menu
DRY.
In those days, our mails were few and uncer-
tain, and il was only by the occasional passing
OF sick or disabled soldier returning home,
that we heard from our army. Time hung
heavy, and deep gloom overspread our coun
try, at the last news, "a battle is soon expect
ed between the American army under Gene
raj Harrison, and the British and Indians un-
der the boodthrsty Proctor and Tecumssh.T
Days and weeks passed by, and yet nothing
was heard from our army. Our citizens ca
gerly hailed all strangers from the West, with
the anxious inquiry of"any news from Gener-
al Harrison;' and such was The delay, doubt
and uncertainty, that it was generally feared,
and by many believed, that Harrison and his
army, had, like those before, been defeated and
massacred While was sitting, fsaid our in
formant, at the long, iow ,cindoto Of our school
house, and our Irish school master was busy in
repeating our A b C's to the smaller urchins,
suddenly heard the sound ola horn. look
ed forth, and saw descending the hill half a
mile distant, the mail boy on his horse at full
speed; at the foot ofthe hill he crossed bridge
The pilot. [volume] (Baltimore [Md.]) 1840-1840, 1840-04-27

and the rapid clatter of the iron hoof resound-
ed throughout our cabin. Rising the hill near
us, his horse at full speed and reeking with
sweat, he again sounded his shrilI horn, and
when opposite our log academy he called out
"Ha,rison has chipped the British and Ind
anS" Our Irish tutor, with as true an finer.
lean heart as ever bea in son of Elm, sprang
from his seat as though he had been shot, bis
eyes flashing fire, and screamed out, sBoys-
do yOU hear Mat!Ht'' caught his hat, darted
out-ol the door, and followed the mail boy at
full speed. The scholars were not second
behind him; the larger boys taking the lead,
shouting huzza for HARRISON and the smaller
ones running, hall0oing and screaming for
fright. The people of our village hearing the
confusion, and seeing the mail boy and horse
at full speed, followed by the schoomaster at
the top Of his speed, followed by his whole
school screaming and shouting, knew not what
TO make oft. The mechanic left his shop, the
merchant and the women stretched their necks
out Of the windows, while CONSERVATION and
dismay was depicted on every countenance.-
The mail arriving at the Office, the carrier rose
in his stirrups and Exclaimed, al the same time
whrling his hat in the air, "Huzza for Harris
on, he has whipped the British and the lndl-
ans-boys do you hear that" A universal shout
of joy burst FORTH bonfres were kinded in the
street, and our village illuminated at night. In
those days heard no one say that Harrison was
coward or granny" but did hear many
say, Good bless General Harrison"

DEAR GENERAL-The calculations Of the Fed
eralists in New York were strong, that they
would carry the city, by at least 5000 ma
iority. The official returns shew thai they have
beaten us by only 1921 votes. This is no great
matter, and we look at the "signS of The times" in
other portions of the State can have no impor-
tant bearing upon the result of the fall elections
when we will all rally for 'HarriSOn and he
form. We look with much anxiety for the re-
turns from the Old Dominion, and our friends
feel full confidence that the advocates of good
government will come to The rally in Virginia.
The banking associations formed under the free
banking law, have very much impaired their
usefulness, by oversepping the bouadS of their
privileges in the issue Of Post Notes. and the
Vice Chancellor of this State has decided, that
the issue of such notes by these associations, is
unlawful. The question was raised in suit a.

notes payable on demand, six months after
date, 'but the allotted period for payment was SO
