Hon. J. F. II. Claiborne
Dear Sir: presume Mr. Afflick, editor
of the "Western Farmer" has advised
you of his contemplated visit to our State
early next month, and of his object. as |

Should he not have done so, take the
liberty of saying to you, that he will be
down, and bring along some choice sPe-
cimens of Berkshires and Durhams.--
His stock will be composed Of bulls and
heifers, of the best strains, from recent
importation; and of pigs. sows aid boars
of different ages, and so classed that
selections may be made without at

Mr.. A. comes to enlist our affections
for his agricultural work, the Farmer"
"Bee Breeding in the West" ''Agricul-
tural Almanack," and above all the
Stock Book he has in progress. This
latter will contain engravings to the
life, of the various descriptions OF
stock, and will be so costly that
it will be imprudent to publish 1t
without some certain support, and as ne
a western man, he looks to the west and
southwest frst-then to the east, and
if all goes well, he will publish the
work.
The stock he brings down is not pri-

suggested, and the idea of speculation is
not entertained. He is, as you know, a

FREEMAN RAN AWAY.

Mr.. John ID. Freeman, an anti-bond ad-
vocate and speech-maker ,absconded from
Benton, in this county, on the forenoon
of Monday the 18th of October, instant,
In the following manner and circum-
stances, viz: Mr.. Freeman and DR.. Gwin
had published to the good people of
this county that they would sever
ally make speeches at the aforesaid
town of Benton on the said Monday the
/ lth Of October, on several subjects in
general and anti-bondism in particular.
People and orators assembled, eleven
O'Clock arrived, and the said Freeman,
for causes unknown to this affiant, in
stead of mounting the rostrum, mounted
his horse cut from Benton, with neatness
and deSpatch!!!
The eGcuSe he made for this sudden
and unexpected disappearance, land which
DR.. Gwin also made for him, was this
that he was very DESTROYS of going to
NatcheZ to meet some appointment" in
that quarter, and that the Steam boai
Volant, then at this city was going down
at o'clock thai day,--the Capt. had sem
acord to Mr.. Freeman, that he loould IeaUt
at one, precisely! This DR.. GlOin said
And hence Mr.. Freeman's haste to get or
| board!
Now, it so happens, that the truth o
this Steamboat affair is this. The Cap
tain of the Volant sent no ,Oord to Mr.
Freeman or any one else at Benton a
all. The boat did not intend TO leave be
fore Tuesday morning. No boat was ex
pected to leave here on Monday, an
none did leave. A passenger from thu
Volant told several persons in Benton
and in Mr.. Freeman's presence, as W
understood, that the boat tcOuld IeaUe o
Tuesday morning 1t was we'll under
stood at Benton that there was no boa
to leave here on Monday at all. Mr.
Freeman came to this city on Monday
took lodgings at hotel, remained unit
Tuesday, snd then left for his "appoin
ment belowm This is the way they d

Notice Of the late Lieut.. General


BurgOyne.
1t is curious that a man of such ce-
lebrity, as writer, Senator, an Officer,
as the late Lieut. Gen. John Burgoyne,
should be found among the number of
those, of whose youthful days no memo
rial has been preserVed-neither the
time, place, nor circumstances Of his
birth are known. Even his parentage
is doubtful. He is said, but upon what
authority does not appear, to have been
natural son of Lord Bingley, who died
at an advanced age in l774. That he
mad the advantage of liberal educa-
tion, and early intercourse with polished
society, is sufficiently evident from his
writings; and it is probable that he was
early devoted to the profession of arms;
for on the 10th of May, 1859, he was
raised to the rank of Lieut.. Colonel land
in August Of the ensuing year he was ap-
pointed Lieut.. Colonel Commandant of
10Th Light Dragons. His after seryi-
ces at different periods in Spain. Portu-
gal, and America, are we'll known, es-
pecially the unfortunate result of his
military career, at Saratoga, which,
though it furnished not his honor,
cast shade over his brow, ever after
wards conspicuous to the physiognomi-
cal eye.
He made, on certain occasions, no or
binary figure in Parliament. He moved
IN the first circles, and married Lady
Charlotte Stanly, daughter of the Earl
of Derby; and yet, we know not who, or
what he originally was.
He was the author of four successful
dramas-the Maid of the Oak, the Lord
of the Manor, Richard Ceur de Lion, land
the Comedy of the Heiress; and yet the
curiosity of his biographer, even in this
anecdote dealing and memoir siftiug age,
cannottr trace his origin, or the scenes of
his education.
The tale of the Lord of the Manor
seems, in some degree, to have been dis
gulsed in the modification Of the charac-
ter and circumstance, by the incident of
his own matrimonial connection; for his
was a clandestine, unauthorized mar
rlaage, at time when he held only a
subaltern's commi ssion in the army; and
IS said to have excited at frst,the resent.
ment of the lady's father to such a de.
gree, that he declared his resolution new.
er to 1.-THE offenders into his presence;
though IN process Of time the anger OIL
the Earl subSided--a reconciliation was
efected-and was succeeded by a warn
and lasting attachment.
1t is probable also, that the memory O
his lady, who died in 1875, at Kensing
ton palace during his absence in America
is embalmed by the affectionate regre t,
of the General, in that beautiful air in the
first act of the Opera.
"EncomPassed in an Angels frame,
An Angels virtues lay;
Tooso did Heaven assert the claim,
And call its own away.

He is represented as a man of lofty

arm, | perceived it had been shattered
by the fire of our enemies; as he stepped
on one side, saw that a cannon ball had
executed its mission upon one of his low
er limbs, and manned him for life. As had
forgotten the circumstances under which
these mutilations occurred, made some
inquiry, and found that the post of dan
ger and of honor had been more usually
the lot of Captain Harrison. His com
pany, distinguished in general orders by
Gen. Scott, was the first which landed al
the attack on Fort Erie. He was a vo-
lunteer under General Pike, and received
two wounds while performing his duty.
At Sackett's Harbor, his right arm was
shattered; at the capture of Fort Erie,
a shell exploded, and he was again Sc
verely injured. At Chippewa, that me-
morable and glorious field, a musket shot
sassed through his foot, and few mo-
ments afterwards cannon shot perfect
ed the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the whole limb.
Captain Harrison, however, all bleeding
and suffering as he was, refused to quit
the ground, but continued to cheer on his
company, and continued in its command
until the day was won. Well might Gen.
Scott speak of this " glorious display of
fortitude." 1t was specimen Of the va
Tor of true hearted American.
| In rescuIng these facts from oblivion,
| feel that | perform an act of Justice only,
happy to become their brief chronicler.

From a Visiter at Washington.

Messrs. Editors:--Among the pleasant
incidents which often occur to those who
visit the city Of Washington, is the one
not uncommon, of meeting those gallant
men who, in times that tried mems souls,
have given evidence Of their devotion 10
their country.
A few days since, ! fell in with a per-
son ofthis description in Captain Thorn
as Harrison, of Boston As he raised his
