General Waddagton^ muii?idd for want of pay, and it wai? for a iic:e supposed. tSat the whole.force, which-was large, important and- officiant, would disband. This alarming mutiny bod no sooner been suppressed, than the Kow Jersoy line fol lowed the bad example. She publii at large, and even Gen. Washington hiiurolf, feared''-'that the example hal been contagious, aa?itrje greatest po?sible anxiety pravailod. Noverpad the affairs of tho colonial seemed so near complato destruc I'toa. The weak-kneed shook in ihalr.shaas. Even men of the firmest courage and tba - most consis tent temper began to despair. Bat Washington never sutured his hopes to abate, ar his courage to ?hr'nk, or his firm resolve to bi shaken, for one moment. Others might tremble, but die knew not how to fear. Placing a firm reliance in the Justness of his caus?*/ and in tie goodness of Providence, ho never doubted for"aj instant that all would turn cut well, and tbiVhia conntry would omerge from, all theae trials greater and msrejrlorious toan it would hara done had it navoroceghubjectod to thom. lion like to Wash ington is cur own great and good LEE.

'Its fears woro allayed when it saw the eomroanderjin-ehief calm and confident, tt proved to bo the dark hour just before day. The light soon" bjigan to break. OD the 10 th of Oe tob ar, Cornwallis surrendered, and the war wes ended. We recall these chinga te recollection, at thia t tine, because it strikes ns there is a similarity in our present condition to that of oar father; in thc spring of 1781. Richmond howerar, is still in our Land? ; whereas in the spring of 1781, Arnold was master of it.- Whsu Gon.. Greene joined tho army of tu? South, ia December, he found itte ? duced to a mere' handful, intimidated bj defeat, and altogether ir,c:ip ille of makins; any great exertion. The "forces of Gen. Jonnsrox, on the contrary, are numerous and well-disciplined, arid his ofacers ore able and oxporienocd soldiers, EverytLing considered, we ar?, in fir mor* hope ful condition now than were our fathers in 1781. Let cur countrymen consider that fact aud do dues'from it the inevitable oonelusion. ? /They hare no oanso for despondency. . If God, in His own time, brought light out of tho dark a ess of thc spring of 17S1, what reason hare we to think that He will not bring a glorious day out of this night of 1S05 ? Our cause, liso everything oise in the utiirorrf, is ia the hands of God. If it prusper uot, it ia beoauio of our sins, andbecauso of our dir trust in His Providence. Let-us trust ia'Him, first purifying ourselves <?f our-offenccs by prayer aud ponitence. There it no diGeutty so groat that it may not bo overcome; no cauee so u>'po?o.-s that it may not bo mada to triumph. But at the same timo that God gin's-tho victory, it ia.through mortal instruments tkat He effects tho triumph. Our peuple must continua firm aud united, as they have heretofore baefi. They must ca;-1 off all hope of victory save firough their own exertion ; for God smiles not lon that CHU?O in which men fcrupie to do all tba?"i's "necessary to insure success.
