Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.

PITTsBpRG, Pa, Jan. 80, lSll.
In my last communication | informed you that
Gen. Harrison had made engagement TO meet
The ladies Of this city, at Concert Hall. Sometime
before the hour, an immense concourse of individ
uals were assembling in the neighborhood of the
building. The room Of the Hall was soon ,hrong-
ed with all the beauty and fashion OF the town.
From my own observations, and from what could
collect from others, suppose not leTs Than three
thousand wing young ladies were present, exhibit
ing the most beautiful and sub lime spectacle ever
beheld. When the hour Of three arrived the old
Hero allightcd from the carriage, and accompanied
by his distinguished aids, and the Hon. uarmar
Denny, he entered the Hall amidst the &C clnma-
tons Of the admiring crowd-the band playing,
''see the conquering Hero comes. The General
rose, evidently much affected by this homage. thus
paid by such a fascinatng audience, addressed the
! ladies', in few brief aud eloquent remarks. Dur-
ing the delivery Of this speech, the General took
the liberty to Intervene beautiful episode in his
observations, of the most deeply interesting charac-
/ ter. He feellngly alluded TO an Incident that &C.

native and uncultured charms of woodland
scenery. No churlish ploughshare has ever

white thunder spntered heads, stag horned, and
sere, and blasted, above the dark green foliage
which still clothes their lower limbs strange
