A correspondent of the Richmond whie
gives the history of General Harrison's attach
ment to Mr.. Tucker, now an officer of Gus
TOMS, as follows:
GEN. HARRISON'S LAST LETTER.
A few days since you published General
Harrison's letter, addressed to Mr.. Curtis. col.
lector of New York, in behalf of Mr. Tucker
mate OF the brig Montilla, of New York, in
which vessel Gen. Harrison came home from
Jackson. -
Allow me to give you a history Of tho o..
vents that caused that letter. Silas F Rnr-
rows arrived at Carthagena in the Mont;IIo
Capt. Beekman. in January, 1899. where ha
met Gen. Harrison, who had been renoa;r;n ~
for some time at that place. WAITING tho ar;
val of an U. S. vessel, which he exnected
would have been despatched to take him homo
Mr.. Burrows finding Gen. Harrison great
~ interested in returning without delav io the
United States, Immediately rendered him the
Montlila, which offer Gen. Harrison accented.
and after being furnished with every comfort
and luxury for his voyage, and received on
board the Montilla with a national salute Of
"A guns, the two friends separated, Mr.. Bur
rows proceeding TO the Pacific Ocean, by
Panama.
Mr.. Tucker. TO whom the letter Of Gen
Harrison was given. being mate of the Month
la, was enabled during the watches of the
night, to devote himself by many little a,ten-
tons to the General, who used to seat him
sell on the quarter deck "with his martial
CLOAK around him. to watch the progress of
the vessel towards his native land, often fill
the midnight hour, repeatedly expressing the
desire that his friend who had made him so
happily situated, was on board with him.
The Mentilla arrived safely in short and
pleasant passage, TO New York, where Gen.
Harrison took leave of the whole ships com.
pany. thanking Capt. Beekrnan for his kindness
and attention TO him, and soliciting DIR. Tucker
to come to the west and settle down in
Ohio. :"
Alter spending day or two with Mr.. Bur.
rows, in New York, Gen. Harrison left for the
west; and did not again meet with Mr.. Tuck.
er until as President of the United States.
when the last letter was written; and such
were the feelings of Gen. Harrison for the
courtesy extended to him at time when he
to have been deserted bv his country.
and recalled by its President, without any
cause, that had every individual who constitn-
led the ships company of the Montia, found
their way to the Presidents house, | doubt
not they would in some way have been provi-
ded for.

A letter from New York to the New Orleans
Bulletin thus notices the progress of a church now
constructing in the former city which promises TO
have no equal in this country. Its probable cost
will be $500 Goethe windows alone costing over
$1,000 each. Those engaged in building our new
Trinity Church, are determined to make a very
splendid affair oft They progress slowly but sure
", and without any regard to cost, so that 1t Is
grand and magnificent. ii will he long time be-
fore it is completed, but when done, will be one
of the finest specimens Of architecture in the Union.
The stones are all laid by machinery and steam,
ard as VOC pass the spot VOC hear an everlasting
ding-dong Of small bells rung in different styles
and of diteren, tones giving notice to the engineer
when TO raise and when lower the various granite
blocks. 1t is not only amusing, but ius'uctng, to
spend little time here end witness the complete O.
pera,ion and perfect order with which every block Is
put down, while the different toned bells and the
stiffness of the whole work gives it Kind of muai
cal and fairy appearance.

An Excellent Suggestion.

Mr.. LrroRp of the Baltimore Commercial Jour
nal, suggests in his paper of Saturday last, the G.
Establishment of national depot for coal at Balt-
more, and urges the extension Of the Tide Water
Canal from Havre de- Grace to that city, in order to
afford the utmost possible facilities for the transport
ation of the Pennsylvania coal to the aforesaid de-
pot. There is much Of practical wisdom and fore.
sigh, in the project. Baltimore as Mr.. l.. remarks,
is situated at the head of one of,he best esuares in
the United States; is accessible at all seasons is
hut short distance from the ocean has a moder-
ate tide; has safe and open bay without shoals OF
rocks; and is near the national sea, of government,
with which it is connected Ivy excellent rail road.
1t is therefore, says Mr. L., "the very place" for
national establishment Of The kind proposed, as it is
point well protected from the enemy and will be
easily reached by the war steamers of the Home
Squadron, as well as all other vessels propelled ty
steam, and consequently using coal fuel. To
Pennsylvania the proposition is very important, as
the coal must come from the mines of our State,
which find their outlet TO market through the Tide
Water Canal-Pd. Intel

Prohibition of Shin-Plastcrs:

Own F. JOHNSON, Esq, the fearless and faith
ful Attorney General of the Commonwealth, in
compliance with previous instructions from the
Governor, has re-ssued strict and positive instruc-
ton, under date Of the 10Th inst to all his Depu-
ties throughout the State, to proceed according to
law agans, those individuals and corporations, who
continue in uiolation Of an cypress d,c, TO issue
small notes a currency. This is perfectly right
and affords gratifying evidence, that under the
present State Administration these vioators of tn
law can expect no shadow of support or counten-
ance, however largely they may have been INDUCED
under the administration of Joseph Rher, John
Banks and Co. The following is an extract fiom
Mr.. Johnson's admirable circular: "Not even the
shadow Of reason can be alleged to exist now,
(whatever might once have been pretended) to ex-
cuse the violation of these salutary laws Ample
provision has been made by the General assembly
ofths Commonwealth, for any supposed necessity
that may have arisen requiring the issue of notes
of less denomination than five dollars and the re
is therefore no ground TO apprehend the slightest
inconvenience, from speedy and thorough sup
prssion of these small notes which have been put
into circulation contrary to law. If we expect
to retain, for the purpose of business the specie
now in tho hands of the people, even for transac-
tions of a less amount than one dollar, must rig
idly and vigorously persevere in the enforcement o
the penalties against those who manufacture and
circulate deprecated worthless substitute. Small
notes of the several denominations of twelve and &
half, twenty five and fifty cents, rapidly nsinu
ating themselves into the place of specie in thos'
counties where they have been unfortunately intro
duced, and unless checked, will soon expel it en-
tirely, from general circulation. However contra
ry to law, and deprecated in nominal value the,
may be, it is exceedingly difficult to rid the public

"Nigh, came, and all were snusly ensconced in

wood on the boats bow he'd caught fire, and was
blazing ferrely up, shining through the glass

the whole boat seemed enveloped in sheet OF

A ScisSOrlesS Editor.

The editor of the Miltonan says that some grace
less scamp entered his Office and stole his scissors.
This is sad dilemma for ON editor to be placed in.
An editor unscissored is something like drogoon
unhorsed. He can make but little headway against
the ranks OF his opponents. Without tiris foinida-
BILE little weapon, what would become of the cutting
satire and biting sarcasm Of his columns. Let the
editor of the Miltonian, however, console himself
with this reflection that can hereafter Justly
accuse him of having introduced into his columns
shear nonsense.
CT The friends of the defunct Bank Bill are not
without hope. The Presidents objections are chief
" confined to the unconstitutionality of Bank of
discount and deposife with branches. He states
unequivocally, that as long as the Bank of the U.
States confined itself to discounts and deposes the
country was not benefited by its operations but
that when it engaged extensively in exchanges, the
currency of the country became sound. and "the
notes Of the Bank were regarded as equal TO specie
all over the country" The President is evidently
inclined to favor all Exchange Bank, and we have
no doubt from the appearance OF things, that such
BANK Will be established, anu receive the executive
sanction Such Bank would be much less objec-
,onable, end in our opinion decidedly preferable.
An effort will be made Immediately to establish such
Bank, as will he seen by the following paragraph
from the u. s. Gazette:
"A friend, who is intimate with the most dis
tnguished members of Congress Of both parties,
writes to US as follows: 4 perfectly satisfied
that Congress will not rise without passing a law
creating an Exchange Bank, and that the President
will sign it. would advise you, as a friend and a
whg editor, to treat the veto leniently, it being
merely difference of opinion amongs, brethren of
the same principles"
