A SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUTION

The beautiful episode Of Sergeant Chanlpe,
so admirably told in Lees Memoirs is fanlil
lar to most of our readers. In examining
Sparks writings of Washington, we encoun-
tered another story OF a kindred character. e.
qual!y authentic and not a whit less interest
ing, though butHttle known. We take pleas
ure in giving it to the press, and hope it may
be copied by each OF the thousand an; one
journals of the land, and take its place in the
popular memory alongside Of the adventures
of Sergeant Champe. There IS something
noble and touching in the gallant soldier relu-
sing alike promotion and pecuniary recon-
pense, aud limiting expectation Of reward. for
services SO important, to the restoration Of his
trusty hreock.
In volume VIII, page $50, there is a letter
from Washington to Lafayette, dated Phla-
delphia, September ., 1871, in which ne
saws; ''Should the retreat OF Lord Corn
wallis be cut of, by the arrival Of either of
the French fleets, I am persuaded that you
will DO all in your power to prevent his escape
by land. May that great felicity be reserved

This felicity it was his good fortune 10
realize. The British Commander sought for
an opportunity to escape into North Caroli-
ma. but the address and vigilance OF Lafay-
cite Disconnected all his schemes After
Coruwallis had arrived ut York, and com
;nenccd his fortiicdtions, lafayette asked
Colonel Barber if he knew of trusty, capa-
bic soldier, whom he could send as Spy into
Cornwatlis's camp. He wered tina; there
was one in the New Jersey line, by the name
Of Morgan, who was in all respects suited TO
such an enterprise The General sent for
him, and told him he had very difficult task
to propose to him, which was, that he should
pretend to desert, On over TO the British
camp and enlist as a soldier. Morgan an
swered that he was ready TO DO anything in
the service of his country, and to oblige his
General, but that his feelings revolted at such
a proposal He must assume the character
Of a spy. and. if detected. would not only
lose his life, but bring lasting disgrace upon

Western Boundary OF Texas.

There is residing on an humble clerkship, in one
ofthe Departments at Washington city, an old man,
who, in historical and geographical knowledge, is
perhaps the most intelligent person IN this coun-
try. He was intimately associated with the first
settlements in the southwest, and particularly with
the acquisitions of Louisiana and Florida More
than generation ago, he published several inter-
esng books in reference to the history, natural and
physical character and boundaries Of the different
States and Territories Of this section of the Union.
They formed the textbooks and guldes-the ga
zetteers and geographes-which the first emlgrants
used in making their settlements and are the best
authorities for early and authentic information as
the geographic lines and divisions of this region
of country, during its transition period from French
and Spanish to American occupation.
This old gentleman is William Darby, the we'll
known historian and gazetteer. For many years he
has made publications, except occasional articles
in the National Inteiiigencer, upon disputed ques-
tons touching our boundaries and territorial rights
Recently he has been drawn forth by the contests
as to the western limits Of Texas and an interest
ing correspondence upon that subject. between him
and Mr.. Kaufman, member Of Congress, is pub
shed in the Inteiigencer, putting at rest by few
plain statements the disputes upon this subject
We give the substance Of this publication.
Mr.. Darby says, in his communication to the
editors enclosing the correspondence that westward
Of the Perddo, the boundary Of Florida-the whole
map, published in Paris, l776, as Louisiana. This
map was published four years after the cesson of
that country by France to Spain.
Mr. Darby writes TO Mr.. Kaufman that nearly
fifty years Of his life have been devoted to the study
of geography In 1916, Mr.. ID. published his first
account Of Louisiana. In this work, his principal
object was TO show the western limit Of Louisiana
1.-THE country distinguished from the boundary Of
Louisiana, the State. That work contains the evil
dence then in his possession, that the Rio Grande
for four hundred miles from its mouth, was its
limit in that direction. Homan's map, published
at Nuremberg, l7l2; map Of Herman Mole, 17l2;
Bowen, 1862 and same, 1853; and Biron's, 1866,
are the authorities on which Mr.. Darby takes the
Rio Grande as the limit.
He says that, when engaged in the survey, he
does not recolect ever to have heard the Nueces
named as the boundary, and his conclusion is that,
as high as the Puerco, the Rio Grsnde must be con-
sdered the boundary but above that branch, the
province of New Mexico embraced the upper VAL
lev Of the Rio Grande. Mr.. Darby says that he
intends to define the physical geography Of the
country, however, not the political. He does not
speak of Texas as a State.
