, ljfe nd Correspondence of Joeqth
Reea, of Pennylvanla.A. work in
two handsome volumes by Wm. D.
Reed Esq. of Philadelphia, preserves
in an enduring record a history of the
life and correspondence f Gen. Joseph
Military Secretary to .Washington nt
Cambridgp, Adjutant General of the Ar
my of 1776, a member of the Continen
tal Conjrress, and subsequently President
of the Executive Council of Pennsylva
nia.' ., .. ... .... ,a
It was C! en. Reed who gsvo tho
metnorable answer which History has
taken from tradition and deemed worth
rot nrc?ervQtion the answer to Rrfiish
Commissioner! who came over with
Lord Howr, and who sought, by proffers
of honor and emolument, to obtain the
eo-operation of many eminent patriots
m-4av& ;roBriKatioaa tvweri-
the Colonies and the Mother Country.
1 am poor,'' 6aid Gen Reed, "very
poor but such as I am the Kin; of
England . is not rich enough to buy
me.

in WABHiitGToK'a miluary family, im-
'Ssjyiying confidenlinl relations, Was but in

c,'mf r "n? ,-i"n!?
which characterised the intercourse of
both. Washington's letters to Reeu,
which tire published in the present
workmate replete wiih interest. They
exhibit the writer in the unstudied atti
tude ot a friend communing: wilh a
friend. The grcnt man speaks of bis
difficulties and . embarrassments, his
conflicts with the hard fate which en
vironed him and seemed ; to bo ever
threatening his ruin.' But the undaunt
ed heart, the firm mind, the indomitable
will, are continually seen and above
all, is sren the devotion of heart' and
niind, of ihe whole man, to the convic
tion! ofduty which controlled him at
all times convictions which were blen
ded and identified with a patriotism as
pure as it was noble , and. magnani
mous, j ,'..,.-,;
The fullowinz extract from one of
Wash i NOTON'sletters to Reed, in 1776,
relates to one of tile most gloomy . and
disheartening periodsof the Revolution
ary war. Ii was just before the retreat
through the Jerseys, when the cause
ot Iudepetidance scented, indeed, to rest
nport a forlon hope, whs ikgtoit goes
into detail of his difficulties His men
were dwindling; away; he cannot get
recruits: his supplies ol arms are inade
quate, frighftillT 8oj he is deficient in
every tning. An euetny, poweriui ana
well appointed, far superior in numbers
and still mOie eaperior in discipline
ondthe meant of -.war, lies , near him,
ready at any momeul to strike. ; If the
British General knew but half of ihe
particulars of Washinston's real condi
tion, he would strike. After a recapi
tulution of his distress, the great hearted
patriot says: ' ,2":it
"How to get luroisnea, i icnow not.
I ". have , applied to this and to, the
neighboring Colonics, but what success
time only can tell. The reflection upon
my situation, and that of the army,
produces many an uneasy hour, when
alt around me are wrapped in. sieep.
l iv pcopte auyw tow : preuicameni we
are in, on a thousand accounts -fewer
still will believe, if any disaster hap
pens lo' these lines, from what cause
it flows. ,' I hove often t thought
how 'much happier I would hare beet),
if,' instead of accept in j of a command,
under such circumstances, 1 had taken
my mtisket upon my , shoulder, and en
tered the ranks, or if I could - have
justiGed ihe measure to posterity, and
my own wnacioucr ua retirea 10 tne
back country, a4 lived in a wigwam."
The circuntftances of difficulty, hard
ship and embarrastneut, under which
Wash mo io was 'coin pelltHl to con
duct his f ampalgn, compelling bitn
to act mainly on the defensive, .have
imparled to his character, as a military
man, the aspect of caution and reserve.

spirits, within the limits of a strong and
sound mind, thot ever lived. The y rea
der nfronizes insyrnoathv when he Jbe-
holds in Washington's confidential
letters the throes and agitations ol his
whole being, writhing under tha cruel
necessities which constrained him to
a course ot inaoti vity, or of delay, or
retreat, wnen 11 wen supported, he could
have struck decisive blow. In" the
letter from which we have nlreadv
quoted the ardent spirit of the iman blazes
forth. Could I have foreseen." he
says, "the difficulties which have come
upon us could I have known that such
a backwardness would ha ve been discov
ered in Ihe old soldiers to the service, all

he adds. "I will not undertake to st
but this much I will answer for. that
no opportunity can present itself earlier
than my wishes." '' ;s 1
evcnthiT period of our Revolution; valu
able in itself, becomes more and more
.valuable . as. time advances. Such
works as , this ;one of, Mr! ' Rked,
who, iit -preserving -tha interesting
soil ten if of bis grandfather's personal
history, as also emtalmed many p.'eciotil
relics of' that glorious period and ol
the lives of Gen. Rukd's compatriots,
are especially to bo cherished, as works
which, embody the real elements, moral,
intellectual and political out of which
this great nationally of ours haV been
formed. ' We cannot too Often r6cur ro

SCENE IN G EN. TAYLOR'S TENT.
The public are familiar with ,the
excitement that seized upon Gen. Tay
lor, when he learued that his veteran
troops bad left him, to join Gen. Scott
how he turned simple wholetalo dishes
into enlrten, -, by nntiing n.ustord into
his coffee and on his bread, the like of
which had never before been witnessed,
except in a foreign ' cookery. ' It ia
said that when Don Zachory had got
well over his wrath, he was sitting in
his tent, reflecting upon the philahthro
phio idea of writing to Santa Anna,
lhatbe had better compound this war
to save himsclt from being flogged to
death, should he ever conclude to come
lo Mexico by the way - of San Luis
Pot osi when a .starched up , Orderly
presented himself at the Gennral's lent
with a formidahle looking official docn
mont. - The old General not in a mood
to be desturbed by business milters,
harrded It over to M ajor Bliss, wiuYthe re
mark that he might send an answer to it.
The old General then fixed his eyes
philosophically -'upon' ' a tarantula that
had gone to sleep upon one of his lent
poles, and re-commenced cogitating a-
jjout wrilioR to Santa Anna.,
How Mr. Bliss had; in the mean time,
travelled through an immense number
of military lilies, and reading aloud, had
got into thejist of the official looking
letter,; when hestnmbledon the follow.

' Hereupon old Zac : wheeled round
his "camp stool so suddenly, thai the
tarantula took to his heels, and as rapid! y :
aa he could articulate, he exclaimed;;
Ah, what is that. ' ;
. ow Major Bliss was taken all aback
by the Order ho had read;, so he 'recov

Ma. Gales&Sra'tom;, , f'., Jfii
Via d$arolilJMtnd$i-tpoia- you'll
be . amazingly disappintod to find I'm
away off here, pushin' on to the seat of
war, and didn't ceil to see you when
I came through Washington. ' But you
musn't blame me for it, for'l cinldn't
help It; tho President wouldn't let tne
call; he Said I Was getting too thick with
you, - writing letters, to you ' ond all
that. " And when he spoke nbouf letters
to yon he looked kind of red and show-
ja consiaeraoie spunic, l4 , ... , 1?,t!?
, Say s he, Major Downing, I have pul
a gopd deal of confidence in you as a
friend 01 my administration; and if you
are a friend you. must let .Gules and
Sealon Mone; keep out ol their way and
have nothing to dd with them; they are
dangerous, mischief-making fellers,' e
ternally peckm at my administration,
oil weaihcrs.' " Let ; me ; try to kef p
things ever so shugJ 'ana loy my plans
ever so accp, uiey are sure 10 atg uiem
all up, lug them into the Intclligrticcr,
and bM2e 'em an over' tho country.
Confound their picturs, they are the
most troublesome customers an odmiiiis
trotion ever had;' they'v coma pretty
near swamping mo two or tniea times.
So if you oro my friend, I worn you not
to be so thick, Willi Goles;and Scoion.
Well, says I, Colonel, you know I am
a friend to you, and your administration
aa rnnch aa I ever was to the old Gine
rnl and his administration; and I shall
stand by- you 'and -do every ' thing to
help " you Out of tho scrape you've got
into about the war.', But I donV know
as that need to break me with Gales and
Seoton." We'tebeenold frieudssoloog,
it would be kind of hard for. me to givo
era up now; and I don't hardlv think
they are so bad as you think fbr... They
may not mean, to .do you much hurt
when they put mere things i intoi tneir
paper, and .only put them in because
ihey think that , tlie people want jio
heat what's sjoin ont. 'Mr. Richie some
times put things in his paper that folks
think don't do yon no good. !
The President gave toO'orthreo hard
chaws upon his cud of tobacco, er3 says
he, Yes, Alnjor uowning that s too true,
it must be confessed; and it annoys nie
beyond all patience. ., But then t.have
to lorgive .U,. and overlook it, because
Mr. Richie don't mean if. , The old
gentleman is always sorry for t it, e and
always, willing fo take it- bock, And
then he's ttich a tnfTold fellow to fight
the federalists,' 1 can't have a heart lo
scold at him about ' hii mistakes and
blunders. -'lu '
Well, says. I, Colonel, being you've
named federalists, I want to know if!
