was born in PhiladeIphia, ofa WeIch fami-
", aud was in early life the confidential
clerk Of Rober, Morris, The illustrious hnan-
cier Of the Revolution. Mr.. Rees hsld The
office Of quarter-msster-generaI, under
Washington, 10 the time Of the Whiskey
Insurrection, 10 1874; also under Generals
Wilkinson and lizard, in the war Of 1914.
was an agent and cashier Of the bank as
Geneva, snd lastly postmaster under Gem
eneral Iiarrjson-aIl Of which stations he
filled with advantage to oil concerned, and
retired with unspoited honor. With the
best opportunities for becoming rich, be
preferred moderate but sure competency.
The following incident related BY Major
Rees-iIustrative Of the real hardships and
priyaiions Of the statesmen and soldiers
who won cur Nations Liberty-wss corr
municated to the New York Literary
World:--
.sIt was in the year 1851, that Mr.. Nor
ris one morning early said--Jemmy,
wish the horse and chaise to be ready at
ten, and that you accompany me TO meet
Gen. Washington on the square, Al the
moment appointed was ready, and pro
ceeded with Mr.. Morris TO the junction Of
Market and Broad streets, Phi!adelphis.
In few moments saw the General dis
mounted and saluted Mr.. Morris with grav-
ity. They both sat down upon log 10
that place. Their discourse At 6Fst was
upon the miserable state Of the army from
the want Of bread and clothing, and the
General said: The head Of my column viii
soon be 10 sight, on our way to the head q
the Eik.' The discourse soon varied 10
the prospect Of raising funds to procure the
supplies for the fsmishing troops. and !
could perceive that tears were in the eyes
of both. Said MIR. Morris, sDear General,
| have made my last effort--my notes arc
in the market in sums varying from five
pounds TO five thousand dollars. ] have
already received twenty thousand from
some Friends, (meaning Quakers,) snd
have that sum here ready for your military
chest, and will forward to you other sums
as they may come in, with -four and pork
aiso.'
The General seized the hand Of Mr..
motifs, saving, may an lnunHe Uou p.css
you, nv dear Morris, for this timely relief
II will save my men from starving, and
may win US victory.' The tears rolled
down their cheeks, and was unable to
avoid weeping like child. II was now
that | heard the drum and fife, and soon
there advanced the bead Of a column Of
pale faced, ragged infantry, gaunt snd
lean; bnt their countenances frightened -
they beheld their chief in converse with
the great sp,vmaster.' Multiludes Of these
men were without shoes TO their feet; some
had one shoe and some had one boot-a
part Of an old coat or ragged bIanket.
MANY of the officers had their garments
patched. on the knee and elsewhere, with
cloth Of various hues. This column was
on its route to the bay Of Chesapeake, with
the hope and purpose Of Washington to in
tercept the march Of CORVALLIS, with what
success il is well known-and that il ended
gloriousIy at Yorktown, as it ended the
war"
