MANSFIELD, Aug 18th, 1910
My DEAR SiR:-Your favor has been received in
which you observe, that by my reported speech, an
inference may be drawn that am not only in doubt
regards the courage Of Gen. Harrison, but that
had hat little respect for him as a commanding Gene
raj am harp to have this opportunity ofinform.

rjsou, had cause 20 doubt his courage, but con
siicr him n brave man, and have alw ays expressed
n self to that enect-nor have ever disapprov ed
ccnsrrcd any OF his measures as Comm andi ny
tie of the Thames-every thing saw met my
uIe appreciation, and have never spoken Of il in
any other terms. In speaking Of the Battle of The
Thames, and the part acted by my regiment, did
not intend to increase the ma, rt &c that regiment,
or to diminish the merit claimed by others. much
less did | intend TO imply that Gen. Harrison, or
Gov. Shelby, or any officer attached TO the army,
avoided duty danger. Each had his part 10 act,
and should feel my self much degraded to suppose
that they did not perform their duty fearless OF dan
ger-nor have ever doubted, What these gallant
officers were precisely where duty called them. |
regret that in such battle, where our country was
victorious that there should be a controversy abpu,
the merit due to- the actors in hat battle. claim
nothing above the most humble soldier, who per.
formed his duty on that occasion, nor shall any
earthly consideration ever induce me knowingly 10
do injustice to the commanding ,flicer, Governor
Shelby, any other officer in that army. I have
thus confined myself to general remarks, not know
ing in what particular fact, injustice IS supposed
to have been done 10 General Harrison. ' should
be glad To- know what particular issue IS made as To

A DELEGATION OF INDIAN CHIEFs.-The
ship lIarLiuger was to have sailed from New Or
leans on the 23d ult, for Tampa Bay, having on
board delegation of Seminole Indians, mostly in
huential chiefs of those who enligrated some time
since, who are on their way to Florida, under the
charge of Capt, John Page, of the Army, with the
object of dsabusing their brethren, who still per-
sis in carrying on the war in that country, of their
erroneous ideas of the new home assigned them i'll
the West, and inducing them, if possible, to lay
down their arms and emgrate also. They are
quite sangune of success, and so far as their own
relatives and friends are concerned, very much so.
The II. had on board for Tampa Bay, a detach-
ment of the Sd Regiment U. S. Infantry, compos-
ed of four companies, commanded by Major w
G, Bclknap which arrived at New Orleans on the
18th from Fort Smith, Arkansas

EMMA ENFIELD-A FRAGMENT.
ny JANE

--she started from beside the icy form of
her father, and gave one last lingering look to that
loved parent, then fled the chamber.
That evening, while cold tempes,cous wind
blew from the north, and scattered upon the iroz-
en- ground the flakes of snow, which aided, il
possible, to make the prospect more dreary, she
saw her last friend and relative consigned to his
kindred earth No tear dimmed her eye, no ago
nizng shrek rent the air. but one long, deep drawn
sigh escaped her lips, as a tribute to her departed
sire She threw herself upon the newly covered
grave, and looking upwards, claspcd her hands,
and murmured shor, prayer to him who is faith
or TO the fricndcs and the orphan, for resignation
and protection When she arose, night had ell
veloped in her sable mantle, the earth. Every one
who had followed the remains Of her father to the
little church yard, had disappeared, save one poor
looking meanly clad female, who fingered behind
the rest, and leaned against yew tree, gazing in
,cntly upon the figure of Emma: and when she a.
rose from the kneeling posture, the maiden ap-
preached and kindly asked If she could BIO of any
service. Emma felt grateful to her for her benev-
client feeling toward stranger and leaning upon
her pro1cred arm returned to the cottage where af
ter thanking the kindhearted girl for her assistance
she entered her little chamber. 1t was there IN that
lonely hour of night, when she sat at her closed
easement gazing over tho tranquil landscape that
slept so silently in the moonlight, flood of burn
ing tears relieved her heavy heart, the first shed
since her fathers death. "Ah, she exclaimed
while she wiped the gli,tering drops from her eyes

BELLs.--The nearer bells are hung 10 the

years ago the inhabitants Of Philadelphia had new

Of the sound. the bell was raised on triangle III

pened on market day; when the people coming
10 market were surprised on hearing the sound OF

This was the count Of the town officers Mt the
close of the polls. And when afterwards the polls
were purged By the Committee ofElcctions Oft Con-
gress, and the illegal votes on both sides rejected,
the malorilies of the democratic candidates were
considerably increased
The laws of New Jersey declare that--"The six
persons who have the greatest number oil vcies,
from the whole State shall be the representatives.
in the Congress of the United State from this State.
Art. Sec. 2. of the Constitution of the United
State provides .'ihat the house Of Representatives
shall be composed of members chosen every sec
ond year, by the people of the several States"
oThe persons who have the greatest number of
votes from the whole State are those chosen ac-
ccrding to the constitution of the United States, and
the laws of New Jersey, and the six persons fist
named in this report must therefore be the consii-
tulional and legal representatives, of that State.
There exists no power in that State, or any where
else, to reverse this discussion of the people of New
Jersey, and to confer the rights of Representatives
upon any other person. Yet the Governor ofNew
Jersey. in defiance of these facts and with full
knowledge ofthem, gave the certificates felecton

and Yorke, FIVE persons who have not received
