cuted, and was unqueshonably fine spe.
cimen of art. In like manner there were
medals presentedto Generals Gates, Green,
Morgan, and other revolu tionary officers.
Gen'l Washington, at some after-period oi
his life, collected these medals. They
were all, | think, struck in Paris, and there
were other medals also, of Mr. Franklin
and other eminent persons in civil life, not
struck at the instance of Congress, but of
the French Government. Gen' Wash
ington collected these medals in little
casket, little flat mahogany box. He
placed his own likeness i'll the centre. and
surrounded it with twelve others, making
thirteen original States. This casket re-
mained in his possession till his death.
when it passed into the hands of his ex-
ecutors. About as long ago as | have
mentioned, some five and twenty years,
circumstances rendered it eXpcdentf for the
persons who held il to sell it, They de-
sired TO sell it to Congress for the purpose
Of having it placed in the library. Ii was
brought here by member of the other
House., (Mr. Emory,) who introduced a
resolution authorizing the Committee on
the Library to purchase it. This was Il
proposition which at fist scanned 10 be re-
ceived with favor. The price was not
considered any great object; but con-
stitutional question arose whether Con
gress could, without violation Of their
duty and obligations, buy that little casket,
a relic which came from Gen'l Washing
tons cabinet. Ii was debated there two
or three days, when, finally, by vote Of
those who were opposed to the constItu-
tional power, it was laid upon the table.
[ had kept my eye upon it, and when the
debate ceased in the House of Raprcscn-
tatives sent and purchased the casket.-
Those medals are now in my library, to-
gether with numerous autographs OF C'cn'I
Washington, and can say tHai gentlemen
from any part of the country, who do me
tht honor to visit me-, if they are acquaiut-
ed with the fact that possess them, IN

other laws enacted by the house OF Bur
gesses, but we do not deem them Of sutil-
cient interest to the general reader, to be
inserted. Tie incidents and evens OF the
revolutionary war are held by ever Amer
lean in sacred remembrance, bu, 10 many
persons now residing in ShepherdSiown,
they possess a peculiar and personal IN
terest. The descendants of those who
acted a noble part in the achievement OF
our liberty. are Justly proud Of their an

1 1t has been frequently asserted this an
cient borough furnished more officers and
soldiers to the continental army, in pro
portion to It's inhabitants, than any other
town in the State, and we arc prepared 10
prove from the records that the assertion
has foundation in truth. We are crcdl5ly
informed. that of the three hundred Prl-
Yates who enlisted and volunteered there,
more than ore hundred were citizens OF
the town, and that of the latter, two thirds
died in active service.
The annexed list of officers and pnyales
has been prepared with great care, and we
have no doubt that the names ana services
of maAy of them are as familiar to our
older citizens as household words. We
shall notice some of the incidents IN their
lives, and trust that the rising generation
will initiate their glorious examples IN all
things connected with the honor and wei

scaudalized. In coming across the iron
tier he swore and quarrelcd with the po-
ice who demanded his passport, attracted a
treat crowd, and, after long abuse, flung
he pass at last in the officers face. He
was so insane in his hotel, with dcllriuin

men he saw in the stove and every where
