Gen. Putnan.

In Saturday Tribune noticed an article, taken
from the Hampshire Gazette, signed BY John H..
Winthrop, ON the long mooted question in respect
to the conduct of Gen. Putnam at the Battle OF
Bunker Hill Mr.. Wis doubtless man of ve-
racty, and relates what he believes to be true
He says Z" | arrived on the ground just in time
to see the retreat saw Gen. Putnam in the
rear of his men, giving command. / saw him form
his men into columns" Now, it is admitted by
those who contend that Gen. 2. took no part in the
action. that he made considerable hustle in the re-
treat 10 no manner of use. That he "formed his
men into columns is doubtful, it appears the
retreat was precipitatc, and that no stand was
made after its commencement. The cause OF the
contradictory statements in this matter evidently
arises from Gen. Putnams having been seen 10 the
redoubt and likewise at the rai-fence just before
the action began; and it might naturally be sup
posed by many of the Soldiers, who were too muck
occupied to take particular notice, that ne re-
mained at one of those places during the engage
ment But surely Col. Prescott who commanded
in the redoubt, and Col. Stark, whose regiment
occupied the railfence, knew whether or not Gen.
p. at either of those stations in the time OF
action; and we have seen what they say on the
subject
For due estimate of the evidence given by the
persons referred to by Mr. Winthrop, it would be
necessary to cross-eSaiaine them. "A bELiEvhR

SISBAp OUTpoNE.-A letter received here from
the Pacific, contains an account Of the following
adventurous and almost miraculous preservation
OF boats crew of the ship Russell, of Dartmouth,
in June last: When within few days sail OF ie-
camas, the boats of the ship were lowered Tor
whales, and one OF them harpooned and fastened
to young monster, who, probably not being over,
pleased with the salutatiop, immediately made OIL
at the top Of his speed The boats crew. how
ever, were not disposed to relnquish their only
prize and accordingly held fast the line at1achea
TO the harpoon, and their frai bark was thus CON
veyed with immense velocity through The deep 70
the distance Of several leagues, when by wliisS
of their submarine steed, their bark was over
turned and partially shattered One OF their num-
Der was drowned, and the five survivors were
thrown absolutely on their own resources, out Oh
sigh, of the ship A scansy stock of provisions
remained to them, and in their perilous situation
they chung to the keel Of the boat during three
days and nights, all of which time the wind blew
gale. Oa the fourth day, the wind having abated,
they succeeded in rightins the boat and oalling
out the water made for land, and arrived at l G.
camas. Meantirse the ship had unsuceess'uliS
cruised for several days in search OF the BOAT ano
crew, when they put away for Tecamas' winch lhe.

READINGS IN American PoErar: By RuFus w. Girls.
woLD. New.York, John c. Riher, ,Ann.sree,-
This work is intended to supply grievous want
in the schools of our country. Nearly all the class
books now in use. especially those consisting of
Poetry, are made up almost entirely of the pro-
ductions of English genius. Very few American
poems can be found in their pages, and we be-
lieve there is no work prepared for the use of
schools exclusively from our native writer's 1t is
most evident that this should not be so (; and the
elegant volume of selections prepared by Mr.
GRIswoLD will be of essential service in supply
ing the deficiency. The selections are made with
taste and care, and although many Of the best pro-
ductions of American authors are excluded on ac-
count of their length, which would render them
unsuitable for school books the extracts presented
are choice and beautiful. All the psomincn,
American poets have contributed to the pages ofthe
work, which is by far the best of its kind we have
ever 1t will receive, are sure, cordial
reception from the public.

The Wings did not oppose the bill 10 a man There were

ence 10 vote for measure which he considered
sary to sustain the faith of the State-and Mr. Edging
ton OF Ohio would also have been sacrificed 10 party
frenzy, if he had not been saved by the Democrats Of
the county. The Mississppian is mistaken in sup
posing, that there would be a decisive majority in
of the reduction of the taxes There is certainly
decided majority in favor of the Tax Law though, If
there be any defects in the details of the las, they
will be carefully corrected-and if there be any means
of retrenching the expenses of the State or any
chance of reducing the taxes, consistently with the
great interests of the State some measure of this sort
will be attempted. But, as TO The failure Of Virginia
to pay the interest her bonds and as 10 her repu

CELEBRATION.

The Richmond Light Infantry Blues celebrated, on
Wednesday, their fItieth Anniversary ln spite Of the
rain above and the mud below they made gallant
display. They had guests, the well disciplined and
handsome "Grays," from the Little Cockade town.
AT , o'clock, P. M, they repaired to the spring
arp,onria,rd Ia their especial and continual use,
by the last will of The revered Parson Buchanan.
There they found most magnificent repas,
spread before them, upon which, in n true soldier
style, they made effective onslaught. After
dinner, Captain George w. Munford Of the Blues in
Speech sparkling with rich fancies, and mellowed BY
the most haowed feelings Of the heart, drew touch
ing picture of the old Company of Blues from its birth
and embodied in chase and graphic words the che
quered scenes pleasure and of through which
its members lad passed fIe closed with toast in honor
Of the Grays which Capt. Jordan Branch responded
with much feeling Our old friend, Lieut., Thos. Wallace
ofthe Grays then RECALLED the company with address
full of humor and noble sentime nts Spirited remarks
and appropriate sentiments uttered by Councillor
Wiley, "a Canada vounteer) Col. Bigger and Major
Hyde (od Blues) and the Captains and officers of the
different Volunteer Companies OF the city. The social
meeting broke up at early hour and The Grays
escorted 10 the Depot where they took passage for Pc
tersburg.
Long life TO the Richmond Blues, 10 whom, in the
hour of danger, will look for cordial aid, and 10
whom, gala days, have always been indebted for
the brightest and happest enjoymens Our shield in
war-our ornament and palladium in peace.

TO TIE EDITORS OF TIE E,.nu,nr


Gentlemen {: seize moment to give you the 70
suit Of The election in this the l2thj Congresson,I
District You will recollect, that Gen A. A. Chan
man OF Monroe, was the regularly nominated cond,
date Of the Democratic party Soon after he entered
upon the canvass, F. B. Miller Esq. of (;reeob,er
at the solicitation of friends, and with dis,nc, un
derstanding with many Of the Wing party, that no
Wing candidate should enter the field, declared him
self candidate. When Mr.. Miller entered upon TN,
canvass he declared, from the Hastings that he did
80 with no intention of dividing the Democratic party
but with a determination to withdraw should Wbg
enter the field with any prospect of success Some len
days after MIR. Miller had entered upon the canvass,
james B. Watts, Esq, OF Roanoke, Wing of the
at'tudnarlan school, also declared himself candidate,
with the expectation, doubt Of running in between
the two Democratic candidates, uoon whom the De.
mocratic vote would be divided. But Mr. Miller see.
ing the game that was intended 10 be played noby and
magnanmously sacrificed all personal ambition on the
altar of his party and Withdrew from the CANVASS
How praseworthv such course, and how few have
been found capable OF pursuing il! II is course
which should be applauded by every Democrat, aud
which the press should speak of in the manner il DE-.
serves. Mr. Miller's has placed him much
higher in the affections OF the Democratic party in this
district, and they will remember him, and eward hun
for it. After Mr.. Miller withdrew from the Canvass,
he took very active part in favor of General Chap
man. Mr.. Miller is thoroughly with the Democratic
party, upon every measure which ever divided parties,
except The ependent Treasury Scheme, and that
he only differs in few of the details. He is decided
advocate for the separation of Government and Bank
This district has conducted herself noby in the late
canvass, and gave Whiggery blow from which eau
never recover, whilst the district shall remain
In the last House of Delegates of Virginia, this
district had eight Democrats, and three Wings has
now elected ten Democrats and but one Wing Can
any other district in the State boast of having done
we' You will also perceive, that Chapman received
majority in twelve OF the thirteen countess composing
this district-old Federal Greenbrer being the only
county that gave majority against Us.
The following is the vote, as reported from each
county, and which may be relied upon as being very
Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1843-05-12

The Richmond Wing is still harping upon the Ches
iereld for Mr. Jones' without being hitherto able
10 sustain Of charges 1t originally stated that
Mr. j. had 60 or 20 foul vo,es his polNo proof has
been exhibited to sustain the charge-and we know,
that there are charges the other side OF the House.
We have had from the lips OF one Of the most respec-
table men in Virginia, that one of Mr. Joness friends
have ransacked the Chesterfield poll OF Mr. Bolt-and
conc uded that there 40 bad votes on 1t. We
had other evidence the declarations of Mr. Cox the
Senator of the District when called up IN the Demo-
cratic meeting of Wednesday night, that these street
about the nvadly OF Mr. Jones votes, was all
insidicus slang-and that he verify believed that Mr.
Bolts had more bad votes the aggregate the Cbes
ierfcld poll book than Mr. Jones' In tact, the efforts of
Mr.. Flournoy TO keep back the bad votes from Jones
poll, sufficient guarantee OF ITS comparative pu-
rity. lie had the land book and property book from
the Clerks Office before him-and with the expert
ence he had acquired, and the acquaintance he had
formed with the votes of the county some years since,
in the celebrated contest between Johnson and Elan,
he was able 10 exert himself most successfully for Mr..
Bolts He challenged no votes that were given for
his friend Mr. Botls-and many, that were offered Tor
Mr. Jones.
The other allegations of the Wing have equally lost
favor with the public. The tie of the Sheriff OF
Powhatan has suddenly disappeared from the category;
for he gave his vole he had right 10 do but
was not lie The double and treble voting has
also vanished in the mist But Instead O; them, the
Wing is spriReing new batch Of spurious yoes-such
as the Welcbmen of Chesterfield, who ii insinuaies
were not natufalzed-ho,o many there were: and whe
Their there any at ALL and how they voted, the
deponent saith not. But nothing is easier, than 10 in
snuale charge about votes in the gnse Of query.
And we have some slang too from l.ousa--about IL
bad votes said 10 be given TO hlr Jones-without ven
turing state the evidence which res;sor without
stating, o! course the spurious and suspected votes on
Bolts poll In fact, regard almost every thing we
earirom the desperate friends of the defeated cand
date in This district, as idle slang But in the mean
,me il becomes friends in all the counties to look
out-and appoint committees 10 Gift the polls Mr. Bolts
seems determined contest the seat at all events-and
in the Of few days will hand MIR. Jones the list
Of votes to which he eyceps-and in 90 days after thai
time MIR. Jones will have to notify Mr.. Bolts Of the
votes 10 which objects. So, that no time is 10 be
ost-und Republican friends, if they desire TO
tain one of the pures Republicans and most accom-
pished gentlemen in The State in their SERVICE ought
10 spare efforts 10 assist him in the of the
votes
