cation of the letters to which you allude was not
authorized by me, and that never during the
whole war saw Gen. Harrison at any time show
any want of courage. On the contrary have ev-
cry reason to believe him brave man. Upon the
receipt of yours, | addressed n letter to Gen.
Gaines, with whom held frequent conversations

the opinions which then entertained and which

BIRTHDAY OF WASHINGTON.
BY G. D. PRENTICE.

Why swell million hearts as one
With mem'ries of the past
Why ring out yon thunder gun
Upon the rushing bias,
Why hold the beautiful the brave
The jubilee of earth
1t is the day that gave
Our patriot hero birth.
We offer here r sacrifice
Of hearts to him who came
To guard young Freedoms paradise
With sword of living fame!
To him who, on wars whirlwind loud
Rode like an angel form
And set his glory on the cloud.
A halo of the storm.
A hundred years, with all their trains
OF shadow, have gone by,
And yet this glorious name remains.
A sound that cannot die!
lis craven on the hill, the vale,
And on the mountains tall,
And speaks in every sounding gale
And roaring water fall
No marble on his resting spot
Its sculptured column rears,
But his is still a nobler lot,
A grateful nations tears.
Old Time, that bids the marble bow,
Makes green each laurel leaf
That blooms upon the sainted brow
OF our immortal chiefs
His deeds were ours but through the worl(
That mighty chief will be,
Where Glory's banner is unfurlcd,
The watchword Of the Free
And as they bend their eagle eyes
On Yictory's burning sun,
Their shouts will echo to the skies.
Our God and Washington !"
