For the Wa,chmin.
WASHINGTON.

The following letter, written by
Gen. Washington in the early part
of his first term of the Presidency,
was recently for the first time pub
lishcd. When the government had
decided to remove fIom New-York
to Philadelphia. it became necessa-
ry for Washington TO provide for
himself house i'll the latter city I;
and to obtain one for his accommo-
dation, his Secretary, Mr.. Lear, APP
piled to Robert Morris TO hire the
house then owned and shortly be-
fore occupied by him. Nj. Morris
readily consented to let the house,
but was not prepared at the time to
fix the terms Of the letting. Mr..
Lear having subsequently applied
several times TO ascertain what the
rent would be, and having as often
failed 10 ascertain it, Washington,
on being Informed of this, wrote
Mr. Lear on the subject, giving his
views and wishes in full. The lot
ter Is interesting as an exhibition Of
the principles and exemplary habits
of economy and frugality of great
aud just man of his determination
TO live, as it has been well and truly
expressed, in style of the utmost
simplicity and modesty that should
seem compatible with the dignity
of his official position and of his
judgment, particularly, aud scrupu-
louS exactness in the transaction of
business. OBSERVER.
LETTER.
I" am, | must confess, exceed
ingly unwilling to go into any
house without first knowing on what
terms | do it, aud wish this sentl-
ment could be again limited in deli
cate terms to the parties concerned
with me. | can not, if there are
no latent motives which govern
this case, see any difficulty in the
business. Mr.. Morris has most as
suredly formed an idea Of what
ought in equity to be the rent Of
the tenement in the condition he
left it and with this aid the COM
mittee ous hit, l conceive, TO be as
little at a loss in determining what
it should rent for, with the addi-
tions and alterations which are
about to be made, and which ought
to be done in a plain and not by
any means in any extravagant style
because the latter is not only con-
trary to my wish, but would really

upon his back" And never did
this feeling more predominant in our
mind than at the Annual Fair in
this county in September last, when
viewing the fine display of Vermont
Horses, of the Black Hawk breed of
Morgan Studs. Mares, and Coils
II was rich treat TO the lovers Of
that noble animal the horse, and
proud day TO the honest little state
OF Vermont, so far us her honor and
her profits are concerned in the
rearing Of the best specimens of the
best breed Of horses in the Union, il
not the best in the world. Vermont
Black Hawks, and the other branches
of the Morgan race, are getting to be
"the observed Of all observers"
throughout the country. They are
sought after with avidity, purchased
at great prices, and removed to
different parts Ct the country and TO
Europe, for the improvement Of the
breed Of fast horses, roadsters, and
horses Of all work. During the
Canadian Rebellion. or the rising Of
the Patriots, so called, the English
sent over 10 the Provinces consider
able body Of Cavalry. Many Of their
horses died on the voyage. from
stress Of weather, and they were
compelled to mount their men on
horses purchased from Vermont,
bordering on Canada. They were
specimens of the middling sized
Morgan many of them sired by the
celebrated Black Hawk, owned BY
Mr.. Hill, OF Bridport, and by the
famous Sherman Morgan, owned by
Judge Smith, of Berkshire, near the
Canada line. Col. Shirley, Of tho
British Hussars, stated, in 1912,
that these horses bore striking marks
of blood that they were the best
Cavalry horses, for all works that ne
had ever seen F; SO good, he said,
that they were not to be sold when
the regiment went home, but to be
taken 10 England for use, and tho
studs for the improvement of the
hume breed, Of pure English blood.
The exhibition of this breed Of Yer
mont Morgans aud Black Hawks at
the late fair in Washington County,
VI. was ono of the best-nay the
very bcst--wc have ever Witnessed
and we have witnessed many in other
states than our own loved Vermont.
There was one three year old stud
colt, a perfect picture Of Old Black
Hawk, and worthy son Of his noble
sire. His owner, Mr.. J. NJ. Richard
son, Of Wailsdeld, Secretary Of the
Society, was upon his back. And

saw before. Proud as a Peacock,

very good French, inquired how we
got on in the cold weather. Wa
don't mind it, was the reply
Well said the Russian, for our
part we are tired of it, A good
deal Of courtesy prevails. During
the interview the riflemen of Rus
sian nmbuscade, at about fifty metres
from our trenches, showed themselves
TO our soldiers and politely saluted
them, which pollteness was returned
by our men. As soon as the Russian
had left, and the flag Of truce was
hauled down, the crack of the rifle
was again as lively as ever. No one
could have supposed that but few
minutes previously there was sus-
pension of hosiilitles, for the bullets
(the moucheS, as the men call them, }
came whIstling past the ears of the
men at their work. In war, at a
given signal, salu,cs are changed |;
on another the same men try to kill
each other this is military custom.
The ground in the vicinity of the
camp is strewn with cannon-balls and
fragments of shells. In some places
the balls lie as thick as potatoes Just
dug up in a field. Near the town
there are not so many cannon-balls,
but more fragments of shells and
grenades. The clay soil is often
marked with dark sircaks of blood or
gunpowdcr.'
SEE HOW 1T SMOKES IT'S FIFE.
The following is an extract Of n
private letter, addressed to his family
IN Paris, by an officer of Voltigcurs,
before Scbustopul; The brigade to
which belong occupies the left Of
the line, towards the sea, aud | have
only a few steps to advance to behold
the town and forts of Sebastopol. -
We are encamped on the slope of
ravinc, which hides us from the view
of the enemy. The distance is such
that the shell and bullets have several
times ploughed up our camp. Our
service consists of guarding the
trenches, aud Of working at them
We pass in the tweniy-four hours
under every sort of weather, and
without shelter, having nothing what
ever to amuse US except the parabolas
described by the shells, the internal
din Of mortars, varied by the whist
ling of cannon balls ard bullets
The first day our men lay down on
their faces as each shell passed.
Now ,hrec-fourihs of them look on
TRANQUILITY, observing to their COM
radrs, See how il smokes its pipe
On the other hand, the batteries fire
bu, li.tlc up to the present, and do
not reply 10 the guns of the enemy,
which are SO violent that many Of the
ravlnes are full OF their balls. We
often sec n white flag hnisted To- the
top Of pole, and hear the trumpet
sound in the Russian ambuscades -
This of course means flag of truce.
AT once the fire ceases, and vast
number of heads are seen TO pop up
from under the earth 10 the open air
The Russians hold up TO the French,
bottles and glasses, as if they invited
them TO drink each others health. -
The French reply by hourishing their
tin cans and then they pledge each
others health. The bearer Of the
flag of truce advances on horseback
stops at about 100 PAGES from our
trenches, while the nearest French
officer goes forward TO receive The
dispatches"

enemy surprise him. The first in

the officer surrounded by his band. -
