[ From The Albany Argus, Sept 81, 1881
MAJon CnocnAS.-This gallant young American
has added new lusure to his character, by rcpelng
the insnuatons which had been promulgated prejudi-
cal to Cen Harrison. lie states, that the order for
him to abandon and burn the Fort, was not delivered
to him till it had become mprudcnt, ifnot impractical
BILE, TO retreat by reason of far superior force OF
the enemy having already surrounded him. He there
fore wrote letter to the General calculated 70 de,

into their hands It reached the General and the Ma
jor was arrested but on an explanation taking place.
his sword wasimmcdately restored.
"The measures adopted by Gen. Harrison, (says
Major Croghan so far from deserving ccnsure, are
the cearest proofs of his keen penetration and able
genoralshp."
From the same, Nov. 2, 1881
We have the satisfaction of announcing to our read
ers that the United States briggs Niagara, Caledonia
and Hunter the schooncrs Ariel and Provost and
the soops Trippc and Little Belt, arrived of Buffalo
Creek this day with Com. PERRY and GEN. HAIR
ElSON on bord. To describe tho public Joy exhib-
tied the appearance Of the gallant and brave MEN,
to whom the inhabitants on frontier OF a thousand
miles owe their peace and security; we will merely
state that the heroes were very handsomely saluted
by Col. Chaplin, from our battery with three hearty
cheers, which was refunded i'll very appropriate
manner by the fleet.
FAIR AND uoNoRABLE.-Moses Dawson, the
editor of the leading Van Buren, paper in Gin
cinnati, some five years since wrote a biography
of General Harrison. He is now opposed to
his election to the Presidency. He has begun
in his paper, series of letters to the old Gener-
al on the policy of the Wing party. In the first
of these he uses the following language, which
forms rare and honorable exception to that EN-.
ployed by most of the opponents of Genera
! Harrison.
"That it is painful as well as an ungracous task
to give opposition to the elevation of friend 10 any
office, am free to declare, and more particularly is i
SO to me when the office is the highest to which any
man can aspire; but iatter myself that this cir

WHAT HAS THIS ADMINISTRATOR

eral been exuberant, foreign capital has flowed
in obundantly for permanent investment, tho
public revenue Of the nation has in general
greatly exceeded the wants of the government,
and the people have been orderly and industri-
Gus. With these elements, it should seem no,
difficult problem so to govern free people az
to render them prosperous and happy. VIVA,
then have the present and late administration
done to promote The welfare' of people, which
ten years since was the freest and the most pros
porous upon the face of the globe To what
| cause but the acts and neglects OF our govern
ment can we ascribe the notorious facts, that
the national treasury, which lately overhowed,
is now bankrupt; that every branch of industry
is Frustrated; that the price of every article OF
American growth or produce, and even of labor
itself, is reduced to rates ruinous alike to the
laborer the agricuturst and the manufacturer
that the pecuniary credit of the union, and Of
the states, is at the lowest possible ebb that
we are wholly without an adequate circulating
medium, and that spirit of mutual forbearance
alone has hitherto saved both creditor and debt.

If it be asked what advantages we expect
from change in the administration, we reply,
that we confidently expect, first and foremost,
the restoration Of public confidence, the main
spring and indispensable condition of success in
all industrial enterprise, and the consequent re-

mercia and busy people we expect revival
of manufactures, increased activity in agricul-

in the use of the public funds; we expect
o diminution of the patronage of the executive,
and reduction of the number of pestent off.

LOOK OUT FOR ILLEGAL VOTING.

The friends of Harrison cannot be too vigi.
liant to detect the tricks and games that the
leaders of the V. B. party will seek to play off
upon them. The great mass of the party would
scorn all such things, but certain leaders
office seekers and holders will not hesitate to
do almost any thing to carry their points. In
one town in Chittenden Co. wing had the Curl
osity to look into the ballot-box year before last,
before voting commenced, and discovered hand
full of votes neatly deposited there for the loco
TOGO candidate. In one town not great dis
lance from us, four young locos voted last year,
who are not now II years old We say to our
friends look well to these matters-know who
are not voters before election and stop all illegal
voting. We have no doubt that one thousand
illegal votes were counted last year for the Van
Buren, party and there will be more this year,
unless you put stop to it. Look out fr his
in erery town We have evidence that such de.
signs are meditated in this repon.-C ale1onion.

I From the Albany Argus, of March IL, 1873

There is elegance approaching sublimity in one pas
sage in the General Orders of Jan. q to the North
western Army under GENERAL HARRISON
These orders were issued in consequence of tho re-
turn of u detachment from a successful expedition
into The Indian country. The detachment had or
ders among other things, "to save the women and
children and to spare the warriors who ceased To re-
sist," After thanking the detachment for their at
tention TO his order, the general order proceeds
