The editor of the CLEVELAND PLAIN
DEALER, writing from Washington,
says that he recently made q personal
application for post-onice printing, and
had talk with Mr.. CAVE Johnson,
which he thus reports.
Judge ofmy surprise when his au-
gust Majesty informed us that the
PLAIN DEALER was '' WILMoT PRo-
vIso PAPER-thath he hid just received
copy Of it sent him by the pOstmas-
ter at Cleveland, in which he found an
article marked, g. e. black ines drawn
around it, which he said took very
strong grounds in favor of that doc
trine -
The editor then "argucd' with his
"august Maiesty''-told him that in
his section OF country the Demo- Gratis
were all Proviso- men, and supposed
they had right to be, but they did
not make it party question - and
hoped that such an understanding
might be had as to take it out Of pol
tics. The editor retired, and then
says
A few days after this, repaired to the
old mans quarters. and asked If any de-
cison had been made in regard TO said
printing.
Mr.. Johnson said that no decision
had as yet been made, that he expected a
communication from me an writing, to be
put on file, defining more precisely my
position on the Wilmot PrCviso.
The conclusion of the matter Is thus re-
corded" certain it is | did not comply

JONATHAN BANCROFT.

Died in Pepperell. in the S7th year OF
his age, Col Jonathan Bancroft a sol
der of the Revolution.
The deceased Joined the Continental

He marched to White Plains, and was
stationed at different times, at Peeksklll,
Albany, and Saltwater. He was present
at the capture of Burgoyne; and was
with the American Army at Valley Forge.
during the memorable winter of HTS.
His descriptions of that gloomy period,
when even the faith of Washingto ton SEEM
ed to falter, were very touch sng -" No
meat, no bread, no clothes, no shoes {,
snow three feet deep; no shelter but mis-
cradle, unfinished log huts."
Having shared in the various marches
and countermasches of the army during
the intervening period, he was present at
the execution of Major Andre. His SYM
pathies seemed to have been deeply NOV
ed by that event, and he could never
speak of it without strong emotion. He
was pr sent at the siege Of Y Yorktown and
the surrender of CORVALLIS. Here he
served as Orderly Sargent under La Fa-
yette, and was with him at the night at
tack upon one of the Redoubts in front
of Yorktown. Thence he proceeded to
Philadelphia, and afterwards 10 West
Point, where he passed the winter Of
1872. In the spring Of 80, he was SCI t
with 2 men under his command, to re-
connoiter in the neighborhood of Court
landt's bridge. A party of horse was
discovered at the distance Of about mile.
Sergeant b. directed his men to look to
f heir printing, and he prepared for an at
tack. When the horsemen had approach
ed within about 90 rods, they were order =
ed to stand" while one of their number
advanced and reported who they were.
" His Excellency, Gen Washington"
said the officer who advanced, who was
Colonel. Hamilton. Present. Arms. "
"Very well. Mr.. Sergen,," was the gra.
cious reply Of Washington and thus
said Col. 3D. once had the honor to
command the Commanderin Chief"
During the winter of 1923. Col. b.
was at Cantonment, New w indsor, and
on the 10th of June 1893, he received an
honorabis discharge. He was afterwards
out during campaign OF three weeks,
in aiding to suppress the celebrated
