Extract of a letter dated
Cumberland, March 10Th

1t affords me much pleasure to state that our
prospects here are very cheering. A; our Tip
pacanoe Club last night, il was stated as great
flying fact, that since the last meeting, at least
eighth decided changes had taken place, for
Gen. Harrison, they break out every day in
Quarters where we had scarcely right to ex-
pect them.--The people are heartily weary
and sick of the present administration,-and
change and reform are here words in almost
every mans mouth. Ispeak not Of the popu-
lar enthusiasm, which is particularly illustrated
among our mountain boys.
