OUR CANINE REGIMENT.

correspondent Of The Florida Herald gives the
following animated account Of an Interview with
ournew and respectable allies, Messrs the blood
hounds from Cuba
So various are these dogs in color shape. size, and
age that FIRST sight they appear Ike ordinary pack
barking about a planters dwelling, but examination
proves them quite another thing. To describe dog so
as 10 be understood is difficult must therefore con-
vey general idea by requesting YOU TO imagine short
haired, black, red, yellow brnde or spotted dog, or
any other color that ever hedecked the species, "a

head breast, fore legs and shoulders like light made
mastiif and somewhat elongated, ears erect like
"a gray hound (mosy cropped where they bend) and
Ions, Group, launches, aud tail like gray hound, only
thicker This combination. you may conceive. pro-
duces animal OF great strength aud agility
and such, 10 all appearance, are these boodhounds
They are "a in nnmber-5 or old dogs, well train

and high claims in his own right and olher-
wise 10 such favors-he has educated his
children at his own expense, and waived OPP
portunites Of providing for them in the pub
lie service, that he might give his influence
10 others
Thus disinteresled in his public relations,
(and not less 50, indeed, in his privaie,) he
has carried with him into retirement no spoils
OF once continuing TO possess only the COM
potency which belongs 10 independence, and
that richest OF all possessions, the enyiable
reputation Of an upright life
Whether in civil Office or military command,
General Harrison was always Just, moderate,
and conclialory, though firm; and whether in
public or private life, generous and conside-
rate in his disposition cheerful and afiablc in
bis intercourse with all /; and though warm ia
his affections, yet never violent nor vindiciive
in his enmities. BY this rare union Of ability,
courtesy, and moderation, it was that ne sway
ed those about him. He HIMSELF on being
asked how he could control the militia ne led
to victory disclosed the secret of his influence.
BY treating them,' he said, /" with affection
and kindness, by always recolleciing that they
were my felow-citizens, whose feelings |
was bound TO respect, and by sharing on every
occasion the hardships they were Obliged to
undergo"
His published writings, which are nume-
rous, are distinguished by clearness and faci-
lily of composition, and indicate, beyond dis
pute, that he possesses great cultivation OF
mind, as well as great natural intellect.
1t is not the purpose Of these outlines TO
speak with particularly of the political opin-
ions of General Harrison. These are best
learnt by inspection Of his writings, his
speeches, his official or public correspond
cnce, and by observation Of his life and ac-
lions. One fact, however, in this relation. it
is material to bear in mind Though honored
with the confidence as well of the Washing
ton and Adams as OF the Jefferson and Madi-
son administrations, and though heartily at
tached to the Republican principles Of the lat
ter, and one Of the electors Of Mr. Monroe.
yet his public services have been rendered to
his country rather than 10 a party, and he
stands free and unirammelled with claims to
the confidence of his fellow citizens, founded
not on narrow party or sectional pecullarlties,
but on the broad basis OF tried patriotism and
capacity, unblemished integrity and his un-
questionable devotion to the great public in
terests of the whole Union. And it needs
only TO add, therefore, that since his return
from Columbia, he has lived in comparative
retirement, upon his farm at North Bend. on
the Ohio, short way below Cincinnati, in
the enjoyment Of the unimpairedvigor OF body
and mind which his active and temperate ha-
bits of life have secured to him, and in the
conscientious discharge Of all the relative du-
ties of the just man and the sincere Christian.
