The following is an extract of a letter written by Gen. Gaines, to Gov. Cannon, Ex-Governor of Tennessee, dated St. Louis, Aug. lf, 19 ;0, in which he magnanimously portrays the character and services of Gen. Wm. H. Harrison: I served under the orders of Gen. Harrison in the North Western Army during the principal part of the summer and autumn of the year 1!3 during a part ol which time I held tlu appointment of Adjutant General, which brought me into daily, and often hourly intercourse with

To give him a vigorous support by act?, rather than by icords, I then withheld my signature, and strenuously opposed the signing, on the part of certain inexperienced general and field officers of the army, u paper which we could not sign without a violation of military law. But now, that I am no longer under the command of General Harrison now that hundreds cf acrimonious scribblers are endeavoring to cover him with defamation, and cmong them, mournful to relate, one who, vi:h

the gallant army headed by our esteemed Winchester, defeated at the river Raisin: and for not controlling and saving the brave Dudley and his regiment on the .ruh of May, at Fort Meigs. But a careful investigation of the circumstances that sur
rounded him, convinced me, that his discipline, though mild aud paternal was strictly conformable to our military law and that widiout great caution, such as put it out of his powtr to reinforce Winchester, or to save Dudley, the principal part of his deposable force would probaaly have been sacrificed, in these, or in other unavailing efforts to bring the war in the North-west lo a speedy termination by a great battle when, at any time before Perry's victory, a great battle lost by General Harrison would have exposed to almost eeruin massacre, hundreds of families, on hundreds of miles of a more difficult frontier to defend than any o:her part of the national frontier, not excepting that of Florida. A frontier where, from
the great depth of rich soil and muddy roads. a forced march of a few successive days, often resulted in a loss of effective strength nearly equal to that of a well fought battle. I have often omitted, what I could not now conceal without flagrant injustice to the slandered patriot, that I learned in 1813 from Gen, Harrison the best les
sons that I had ever learned in the art ot
war against a savage foe; lessens precis?
