WAsHlNGToN's APPOINTMENT.
BY JOHN ADAMS

BY JOHN ADAMS
The following account of the appointment ofGen.
Washington to the supreme command olthe continen
tai army, June 10th 1775, has been placed in our
hands by gentleman in whose veracity we have full
confidence The account we give is extract
from private journal, narrang conversation with
John Adams senior, before that great and good man
was called to his final rest. Lest should, in any
way, affect the anecdote, give in the very words
of the narrator.-Philal. Sal Enc. Post
The army was assembled in Cambridge, Mass,
under General Ward, and Congress was sitting at
Philadelphia. Every day new applications in behalf
of the army was urgent that Congress should legal
ze the raising of the army; for until they had, 1t
must be considered and was in law considered only
a mob--a band Of armed rebels. The country was
placed in circumstances of peculiar delicacy and dan
ger. The struggle had began, and yet every thing
was without order. The great trial now seemed to
be in this queston-Who should be COMMANDMENT
chief 1t was exceedingly important, and was felt to
be the hinge which the contest might turn for or
against us. The Southern and Middle States,
and rigid in their ZEAL for the most part jeal-
Gus of New England because they felt that The real
ply steal force was there. What then to be done!
All New England adored Gen. Ward: he had been in
the French war, and came out laden with laurels.
He was scholar and gentleman. Every quaiica-
ton seemed to cluster in him. and it was confidently
believed that the army could moi receive any COM
rnander over him. What then was to be done' Diff
cultes hickened at every step The struggle was to
be long and bloody Without union all was lost
The country and the whole country, must come in
One pulsalion must beat through all hearts. The
cause was one and the arm must be one. The mem
bers of Congress had talked debated, and considered
and guessed and yet the decisive step had not been
taken. At length Mr. Adams came to his conclusion
The means Of developing it were somewhat singular,
and nearly as follows. lie was walking one morning
before Congress Hall, apparently in deep thought
when his cousin, Samuel Adams, came up to him and
said, ,.t, $3.50. .-ts..,t.. .......

could not easily loosen her grasp. Impressed by the
remarkable strength her will they relaxed their ei-
forts. To all their remonstrances, she answered, 'if
you bury him, you bury me with him. At last by
dnt ofreusoning the necessity of the case they OBJ
tained the promise that if he showed no signs Of life
before they round again, she would make no
further opposition to the removal ~A-'
Having gained this respite, she hung the watch on
the bed post, and renewed her efforts with redoubed
zeal She placed kegs of hot water abouthim forced
brandy between his teeth, breathed into his nostrs
held harshorn to his nose; but still the body lay mo
oness and cold. She looked anxiousy at the watch;
in five minutes the promised half hour would expire,
and those dreadful voices would be heard passing
through the street, hopelessness her she
dropped the head she had been sustaining; her hand
trembled violently; and the hnrlshon she had been
holding spilled on the paid face Accidentally,
the position Of his head had been slightly tipped back
ward, and the powerful liquid flowed into his nostrils.
Instantly there was a short quick gasp-a struggle
his eyes opened; and when the death men again
came, they found him sitting up in the bed. He is
still alive, and has enjoyed unusual good health.
l should be sorry TO awaken any fears, excite
unpleasant Impressions, by the recital of this story;
but have thought that funerals too much hur-
ried in this country; particularly in the newly settled
parts oft. 1t seems to me there ought TO be much
delay as possible; especially in case Of sudden death
believe no nation buries with such haste as the
Americans. The ancients took many precautions
They washed and anointed the body many successive
times before it was carried to the burial. The Ro-
mans cut off joint of the finger; to make that
life extinct, before they lighted the funeral pile.
Doubtless it is very unusual for the body to remain
apparently eless several hours, unless it is really
dead but the mere possibility Of such should
make friends careful to observe undoubted symptoms
| of dissolution before intern!ent.
