A ScraD of History,
LETTER FROM HENRY CLAY TO JAs. HARLAN
WASHINGTON, March l6, 1850.


WASHINGTON, March l6, 1850.
My DEAR SIR: ! have been very thank.
ful to you for the information you have
from time to time, communicated to me du.
ring the session Of Congress While on
the other band you have found me an mat
Sentive correspondent My apparent ne
glect proceeded from the cause that had
nothing certain or definite TO communicate.
The all-engrossing subject of slavery con-
tinues to agitate us, and to paralyze almost
all legislation. lily hopes are strong that
the question will ultimately be amicably
adjusted, although when or how cannot be
clearly seen.
My relations to the Executive Fillmore
are civil but cold. We have very little in
tercourse of any kind. Instead Of any dis
position to oblige me, feel that contra
ry disposition has been sometimes manifest
ed In the case of a Marshal for our State,
four of the Whig members, OF which | was
one, united from the first in recommending
Mr.. Mitchell. Two others OF them (mu-
king six informed the Secretary Of the In.
terror that they would be Satisfied with
Mr.. Mitchell (; yet Speed was nominated,
and his nomination is now before the Sen
ate. Ii was the act OF the President,
against the advice Of Ewing.
| have never before seen such an Admin
istration. There is very little cooperation
or concord between the two ends of the
avenue. There is not, believe, promi-
nent Wing in either House that has any
confidential intercourse with the Executive
Mr.. Seward, it is said, has but his late
Abolition speech has, presume, cuthim
of from any such intercourse, as IL has
eradieatsd The respect Of almost all men for
him.

departments Of the establishment is that

every number Of the TINES IS printed from

stereotype plate is taken from the " form"

on which is to form the stereoiype plate.
The papier mache has the power Of resist

"The plates are remelted every day AZ

States throughout the Union

The SOLDIERS OF THE REvoLUTIoN. We
give below, an interesting statement Of the
services Of the soldiers now living in the
State Of Ohio, whose names are upon the
roll of the Pension Office:
james McDermut, now living in Ohio,
enlisted for three years. in l777, at EastOH,
Pennsylvania, and marched TO rendezvous
near Trenton, New Jersey, and thence to
Germantown, Pennsylvania During this
period he was in several skirmishes with
the enemy, but the engagement at German
town was the first regular battle he was in.
Soon after, returned to Trenton, and was
occupied at intervals in pursuing and har-
rassing the British and Hessiaus, as well as
ayenging the mercesary deprcdations aud
'cruelties committed upon the inhabitants Of
New Jersey. Was one Of the actors OF the
buttle Of Monmouth, when the excessive
heat Of the sun, combined with the dust
and smoke Of the contest, aud the too free
use of cold water caused so much suffering
as well as death 10 many Of the combat
ants. This soldier was under the iInmedi-
ate command of Col. Seeley, and well re-
collects the undOubted courage and nntiT-
ing activity displayed during the battle by
him and Gen. Formnn, aud the conspicuous
manner in which both passed along the
lines several times to animate the soldiers,
Adam Link, (now in 0hio,) entered the
regular service in I777. His futher,
bold fearless man, had settled in Washing
ton county, Pennsylvania, and in opposition
to the advice of friends, on the extreme
borders of civilization, near the Virginia
line. Being thus exposed TO the subtle
dangers which then surrounded a frontier
life, in The vicinity Of Indians unfriendly TO
the whites, Adam acquired inthe hardships
and dangers OF border warfare an expert
ence which fitted him for future service 10
the cause Of his country, as well as 10 as
sist in the protection Of the property and
the lives Of the family. Immediately upon
the commencement Of hosiilties the lndians
made descent upon the settlement, cap
tured his father, then murdered and scalped
him, burnt the house aud barn, destroyed
a large field Of corn, 100 hogs, 40 sheepg
all the cattle and horses, and 900 bushels
Of wheat. From this period the family,
from having enjoyed an unusual amount Of
wealth and Independence, were at once de-
pressed into poverty, und suffered great
privation and danger during the remainder
Of the war. ~. ,ei.,st Z, sss.t

ORIGIS OF THE WoRD BoGus-The word
bogus" owns a singular origin. In 1884
a gang of counterfeters, on a very exten-

western cities. The parties manufactured
United States coin, and the leading spirit
was named Bogus. When arrested, be
turned States evidence, and. through his
instrumentllity, all the rest of the counter
feiters we're convicted False coin has
ever since been termed "bogus," and the
word has gradually been adopted as one

Report.

Having been called upon as a committee
to examine and report upon specimens Of
penmanship from the writing class Of Rev
B. G. LIPPINcorT, established in Olympia,
for the students of the Puget Sound Wes-
leyan Institute, we assembled, by polite in
Vitation, on the evening of Tuesday, the
6rst OF November, at the residence of the
Rev. Mr. L., for that purpose.
After a careful and minute examination
Of the specimens presented to US, we find
that very great, and we are compelled to
say, a truly surprising proficiency has been
made by all the pupils, so much So as to
render it extremely difficult for US, ont Of
some forty-odd specimens Of neat writing
handed to US, to determine who are entitled
to the premiums. The specimens being all
numbered, and the names Of tue writers to-
tally unknown to US, we proceeded to the
difficult task of selecting the FIRST, second
and third best specimens Of penmanship
from amongst the colection-the authors
names being unknown TO us until after the
selection had been made. The result is as
follows, towit:
FIRST BEST SPECIMENS.
No. 5-Mr. Robert Head.
No. 22-Miss Harmed.
SECOND BEST SPECIMENS
No. l6-Miss Rulledgc
No. 27-Mr. Woodson.
THIRD BEST SPECIMENS.
No. 24-Mr. j. Biles.
No. 2S-J. W. Baker.
No. 3O-Miss II. Phillips.
Having selected the above as the best
specimens Of penmanship, we next proceed.
ed to the still more difficult task of deter
mining and selecting the specimens of writ
Ing which exhibited the greatest amount Of
improvement, comparing the present writ
ing Of the pupils with specimens Of their
penmanship. written prior to taking lessons
from their present efficient Teacher. The
result is as follows, to-wit:
FIRST BEST SPECIMENS.
No. 34-Mr. W. Phillips.
No. 29-Mr. II. c. Hale
SECOND BEST SPECIMENS.
No. I5-Mr. S. Hale.
No. 22-Miss Harmed.
THIRD BEST SPECIMENS
No. l1-Miss Ellen Willard.
No. lO-Miss Maria Willard.
No. miss Robie Willard.
Although the above exhibits selection
Of what we considered the very best speci
mems amongst the lot, both OF writing and
improvement, it would in our opinion be
very unkind, as well as an injustice both to
the pupils and to their very efficient Teach
er, not to state the fact that the improve
ment manifested by the specimens presented
to us, shows diligence and attention on the
part of all the pupils, without exception,
and that they are under the instruction Of
very able and efficient Teacher; and We
would earnestly recommend all our young
friends, who may be desrous Of acquiring
the art of penmanship 10 an easy and ele-
giant style, and in q short space Of time, to
avail themselves of instructions in that
most useful branch from the Rev. B. c.
