INTERE ESTING INCIDENT.
The Louisville Legion have re-
turned from Cincinnati. On their
return the boat stopped at North
Bend, and captains Sheperd, Mar
shall and Harper went ashore as a
Committee to invite Gen. Harri-
son, they ascertained he was in
company with his friend Gen. Van
Rensallaer a mile or two on a pc
destrian excursion over the hills.
They despatched a messenger for
him, and in the course of an hour
Gen. Harrison accompanied BY
Gen. Van RENSSELAER, and the Com
mitee, reached the boat. The Le-
gion received him upon the hurri-
cane deck ofthe Pike where Ma
jor Umphry Marshall on behalf Of
the Legion addressed him substan-
tally as follows:

bers ofthe Louisville Legion whom

ers were your soldiers. They are
placed for instruction la the use of
