usually covered is rather more essential, ant
this shall be- the purport Of my letter.
Since our arrival in this happy spot We have
had d ham (sometitues a sllonlder) ofbacon II

beef adorns tie foot, and a small dish ofgreefa
Or beans (alnost imporceptible) decoraics the

Or dishes Of crabs, In addition, one on each
side tho centre dish, dividing The space and
reducing the distance betweer dish and dish
to about six feet, which, without than, would
be near twelve apart. Oflate, BIZ had the sur.

Of his efforts. we do not get one OF apples in.

GEO. WASHINGTON.
DR.. Cochran, New Windsor.
Mr.. Adams then submitted the following
resolutions
Resolred by The Senate and House If Repre-.
seutativss Of The United STATES NJ America IN
Congress assembled, That the camp chest Of
General George Washington, which he used
during the Revolutionary war, beqleathed by
the last will Of the late William Sidney Win.
der to the Congress Of the United States be,
and The same is hereby accepted, and that the
same be deposited as a precious relic to be
preserved n The Department Of State.
Resolved, That the Senate and House Of
Representatives. take pleasure IN recognising
10 the family Of The late William Sidney VIM
der their high sense Of the value Of tho be-
quest contained in his will, aud in expressing
their respect for the memory Of The donor.
The resolutions having been read d first and
second time, and having been put on their
third reading
Mfr. Wethcred said In seconding the reso.
lutions just offered by my venerable friend
from Massachusetts, | take occasion TO say
that the deyisor Of this deeply interesting rel.
ic, William Sidney Winder, was alike my con.
stitucnt and my infinite friend, respected and
esteemed by all who knew him and endeared
TO a large circle OF relatiYes-~He has, with
honor to himself and bis constituents, repre-
scented the State Of Maryland 10 her Legisla-
tufe.
This canp.chest was inherited from his fa-
ther, Governor Windsr, a contemporary and
fellow officer Of the Father Of his Country IN
our Revolutionary struggle, and the descen-
dant of a family which emlgrated TO this coun-
try two centuries ago, and which has ever held
in this land Of their choice the most respecta-
BILE standing.
1t was presented to Governor Windcr By
Colonel Maynadier, of Annapolis, himself an
officer of the Revolution, who received it from
the executors Of General Washington.
II was Governor Winder who, on the Ath
day of July, 1915, laid the cornerstone Of that
beautiful monument erected to the memory OF
Washington in the city of Baltimore, and
which constitutes it's chief ornament.
| can add from my own knowledge, that for
several years it had been the purpose Of the
late MIR. Winder to consign this relic to the
care Of Congress, but such was his attachment
to it that the hour Of parting with it nsver are
rived, and it ia, unfappiiy, to the hand ofdsath
that we are indebted for it now.
Mr.. John p. Kennedy followed in some re-
marks, (the report Of which, II prepared, has
unaccountably failed TO reach this office1 which
he concluded by offering the subjoined rssolu-
ton:
Resolved That the letters. and papers &C.
campaigning the bequest Of the canp-cbest of
Washington by the late William Sidney Win
der, Of Maryland, be entered upon the Journal
of this House.
The vote being taken on each ofilIese re-
solutions, they were adopted unanimously with
the exception Of Mr., Hale, of New Hampshire,
who, in each case, voted "Not"
The House then adjourned.
PRoTEcTIoN.-He who patronises domestic
manufactures, creates a home market, and 90
encourages our own industry. The people at
Tennessee, for example, by wearing Aneri-
can %cottons, even if they should cost them a
trifle more than the foreign fabric, would there
by not only promote the interest of the coun-
Try, but their own. By patronising the domeB.
lie manufacture, they not only prevent a great.
Or competition in the production Of their great
corn and wheat, but, BY sustaining the
manufacturer, they increase the demand for
heir own products.-The Southern planter
while growing his cotton and the Northern
manufacturer while converting it into cloth,
ire both living on the corn and .whsat Of Ten
