Lieutenant Colonel Cochran, sn aged soldier of the New Hampshire line, remarked, with tears in his eyes, as he shook hsnds with the Baron: v.,, tar hiyaeIfTI could stand by it; but my wife and daughters are in the garret of that wretched tavern, and. 1 have jk means of removing them. rCome, come; said the Baron, donr irtve way thus.

In one of the Khode island regiments were several companies or black troops, who had aerved throughout the. whole war, and their bravery and discipline were unsur passed. The'Baron observed one of these wounded negroes on the wharf, at New burg. apparently in great distreas. What a the matter, brother soldier ? .

These are only single illustrations of the condition of the army, at the close of the war. , Indeed, . Washington . had thia in view, at the cloae of his farewell address to the army at Rock Hill, in November, 1783. '.; And being now to conclude these, hia lust public' orders, to uke his ultimate leave in a short time of the military character, and to bid a final adieu lo the armies he had so long had the honor to command, he could only again offer, in their behalf, bis commendations to their country, and and hia prayer to the God of armies. Msy ample justice be done them here and may tbe choicest of heaven's favors, both here and hereafter.- attend those who tinder divine aujpice haa secured innu merable blrssings for others. With . these wiahea, and thia bepedio tion, the commander-in-chief ia about to re tire from service. The curtain of separa tion will eoon be drawn, and , the military scene to him will be closed forever ( The closing of thia military scene, 1 am about to relate ;. , ,,,,, New York haA been occupied by Wash ington on. the 2Si h of Nevember. - A few days after, be notified the President f Con gress, that body waa then in aeaeion, at Am napolis, in Maryland, that aa the war was now closed, he should consider it hia duty to proceed, thence, and surrender to that body the , commission which he bad re, ceived from them more than seven years before. ; The moniingbf the 4th of December, l?8d, was a sad ant) heavy , one to the rem nant of the American army ia the eity ef New Yorlu i The noon of that day was to witneaa the farewell of Washingtonha wss to bid adieu to. his military comrades forever.

His favorite light in fan try were drawn np in a line facing inwards, through Pearl at. to the foot of White Hall, where a barge waa in leadiueas to convey him to Powfea' Hook. ) . . Within the dining room of the tavern were aaaembled the general and field offi cers to uke' their farewell.

XVo words were spoken, but ell waa the silent eloquence of tears. What were mere words at anch a scene I , Noth ing. It waa the feeling of the heart thril ling, tnougn unspoken. When tbe last olScers had embraced himvAVashington left the room followed by his comiades, and passed through the lines of infantry. His step was slow snd meas ured- His bead was uncovered, and the tears flowwg,tbkk end - fat a- he- looked aide to side at the veterians to whom be now bade - adieu forever.

" " - - -4 ?Trerl, mybefoaed nerI, Farewellt" Washington grasped Ins hand in convul sive emotion, in both bis. All discipline was now at sn end, the officers could not restrain the men, as they rushed forward to take Washington by the hand, and the sobs and tears of the soldiers told how deeply engraven upon their affections was the lore they bore for their commander. At length, Washington reached the barge at White Hall and entered it. At the firat stroke of the oar, he rose, and turning to the companiona of hia glry, by waving hia handjbade them a silent adieu their answer was only injlears; officers snd men, with glis ing eyes, watched the receding boat tilt the form of their noble commander waa lost in the distance. a Contrast the farewell of ..Wefh'gtoJi. to his "army at Vi hite Ilatl, i?8i, and the adieu ; of Napoleon to bis army at Foniaiublue, in 1814. .,The one had. aocorupliahed av eiv wish of his heart; hia exertions bad achieved the independence of his countiy, and he longed to retire to the bosom of : his home his ambition was satisfied. He fought for no crown or sceptte, but -for equality and the mutual happiness of his fellow beings. No taint of tyranny, no breath of alander, no whisper of duplici ty, marred tbe fair proportions of public or niravs tiio uui, , Vl "He was a maa take him far all ia all - ' -' Wa na'r shall look opo hi lika agala." ! -' The other trreat soldier waa tha diaciole of aelfisb ambition.. He raised the iron weapon of war to crash -only that he might rule.;! What to him were the cries' of the widowt .and orphans t He passed to a throne by making the dead bodies of their protectors his stepping stones. , Ambition, self; were the gode of idolatry, and to them he sacrificed hecatombs : of hia fellow-men for the ' aggrandisement of pesonal glory.

Tbe diaungaished William Wirt, within sis or eight mnntha after his first marriage became addicted to intemperance, , the ef fect of which operated atrongly upon the mind aad health of hie wife, and in a few months more she waa' numbered with the dead. Her death led him to leave the conn try where he resided, ami move to Rich mond, where Ire soon rose to distinction' But his habits hung about him. and oeca eionally he waa found In jolly and frolic some epmie m Dachanallan revelry. His true friend expostu'atetl with him, to con vince hira of .the injury ha waa doins-.-hiHt- self. But be sti'l persisted. ' His practice began to far! ofT, and many looked vpoa him as on the sore road to ruin, lie was advised to get married,! with a view of cor eorrtcting hia habita. This ' he consented eord nirljiapaid his addreases to a Mice Gambia. After some months atttations, he asked, her hand in marr.aga She re plied : K'.v . - - Mr. wtrt, I have been well aware of your intentiona for aotne time back." and " " . v ... v ...uw . your-vwtts and attentions were not accep table, had 1 hot reciprocated the affection, which you evinced for me. But 1 cannot yield my assent until you make a pledge never to taste, touch or handle any intoxi cating; drinks.' Thia reply to Mr. Wirt' was aa unexpec ted as it was novel. His reply was that he regardedrthrrrrroposh luruier consideration on the subject,- and left her. Her course to him was the same aa ever hie, resentment and nf gleet. In fhe eouraeofa few weeks, he went and again solicited her hand. But her reply wu, her mind waa made up. : He became indirnant and regarded the term proposed as insul ling lo his honor, and avowed it should be the last meeting they should ever have. ' He took to drinking worse and worse and seem ed to run headlong Id ruin, v Une day, while lying In the outskirts of me ciiy neata tittle groeery or t"g-nop, dead drunk, a younir lady who it is not nec eaaary to name, in passing thre to her home not lar off, liehelu him with hia face upturn ed to tlietaj of the scorching sun.

He dropped his' glarn, exclaim ing j - : ', i '; " Enough 1 enough T TTC 'He reined instandy from"" migfocert, forgetting hia thirst, but not the' debauch. the handkerchief or the lady vowing, ' if God i jave him atrength, -never toL.touehj tas'e of handle intaxicatinrdrlnka. " To meet Miss G. waa the hardest effort of his life. If he met ber in her oarriage of on foot, he would dodge the nearest 00 r oer.. She at last addressed him 'a note un der her own hand, ; inviting- him to the house, which he finally gathered courage enough to accept.
