From the Virginia Yeoman. A gentleman who had the anecdote from the lips of the late Gen. Tipton hiinself,has been so kind as to commit it to writing for our use. Anecdotc of tub Battle op Tippecanoe. During the last Presidential contest the military claims of Gen. Harrison were freely can vassed, and some of his opponents did not scruple to change him with a want of courage. i ne ute uen. i ipton, of the United States Senate, who had sorted as an Ensign at the battle of Tippecanoe, was ntked by a friend "wnattnmk you uenera!, oi Harrison's courage T" He replied,'! think him as brave man as ever lived no man couli hav be have with more true coui age than he did while the engagement was hottest, and when .tl . . .a ie ouiieis new inicKest, ne was to be seen spanking in his ordinary lone, and giving com mantis with the greatest prccissioB."4The com p;iny to which I belonged," said Xe. Tipton, went in:o action eighty strong, and only twenty survived the fireing upon us was most tremendous. After the General had made his arrangement for repelling the attact of the Indians at olher points he rode up to where I was, and mnde the following inquiry: w he re's your lHpti.iii7 tie is dead, sir Vvlieie is the first or second Lieatenantt They are both dead ffas the reply. Well, where u the btstgn?' He stand before you, General Well, my brave ft How,' said Harrison, 'hold your ground, for five minutes longer, and all will he sale." la Blteen minntes the enemy was repulsed on all sides Tipton gallantly led in his few remaining comrades to the charge, and victory perched upon the Ameri can standard. ' ' i t trw a as an evidence oi uarrisen s coolness in the midst adanger, General Tipton stated that at tho moment the conversation ended between himself and Gen. Harrison, and as the horse on whirh was mounted bis aid, the late - General Taylor ef Indi..na, was in the act of turning, a rifle ball pierced him through Ihe body and brought him to the goruhd, catching his riders leg under h;m. It was a favorite .black horse of the GencralV, and he exeliiimedAh, i my gallant old black goue! Well, rise aud mount again, for we have no time to mourn the loss of ahorse, when so ma ny brave ones are exposed to a similar fate" and having re-mountoa nis aia, ne aasnea in the midst of the danger. In a very few minutes the battle was over. Signs and Tokens. The People support the newsDaners. and the newspapers must support the People, or die. We have already chronicled the Recession of the Baltimore American to the Whig ranks, as an open, able and zealous champion.

I have but tim to say a word or two about the great HaiuON and Tyler meeting hold yesterday in Frederick city. There was a-! bout 10,000 persons assembled. The prcoession was at least a mile long, four abrest. a mgs, oanners, log cabins, bands of music, and smiling women cheered the day. Colonel Cols was chief murihal; and neTer have I witnessed such perfect order and good feeling ns axisted throughout the whole time. The vast multitude assembled in the Courthouse yard at two o'clock, to hear the speaking, which, with one or twe intermission for refreshments, lasted until eleven o'clock at oight. Messrs. Bowin and Kennedy, Electors, spoke; the Hon. Mr Stanly, of North Carolina, the Hon. Mr Jenifer, of Maryland, Mr. WalJij,f Billimore, Col. Washington, of Montgomery, ai.d the Hon W. C.Johnson, of Maryland. The people of Western Maryland nre ready for tha elerlion, and the Democratic Whig ranks have been greatly lengthed and widened by accessions from the Administration party. Put Maryland down 5,000 majority for Harrison and Tyler. Frederick will be strongly represented in the Young Men's Convention. I understand that Col. Cole, the marshal of the day, the Hon. W. C. Johnson, and some two or three hundred more, will attend. JVIif. Int. A violent, indecent, and uncrupulous Van Buren editor, him of the Baltimore Post, says that "res negrots are almost the exclusive occu pants of Log Cabins." This is intended as a sner at the supporters of Harrison in the West. The (ellow must be soft. There are men who live in log cabins" in the West who have more souL more patriotism, and more sense, than even the little dandy idol who "lives, moves, and has his being" in the Presidential palace at Washington, superadded to tne snivelling cur who wrote the l-ise sentence. None but "free negroesf' eh! These "occupants' will show the miserable tools of faction that theri-areyrerntrn,inhabiting these humble but honored dwelli ngs men that can never le purchased by the glitter of a New Yerk dandy. fl6. Cour. Mr. Clay, iu his letter to the Winchester Committee, responding to an invitation to Mr Rfves's dinner, uses the following most cheering langagar: I avail my t If of ihe occasion to congratulate you on the conclusive evidences, which every day brings forth, of the signal rebuke that certainly awaits this Administration. A current is running against it as deep,as strong, as resistless as that of the Mississippi; and wc hope that the Ancient Dominion will soon bring her. mighty tribute to swell the stream. The land of Washington,of Jeffeison,ofManison,and of Henry ,caunot longer submit to the misgovernmer.i which has spread rum and bankruptcy throughout the whole extent of! tins devoted country.
