GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY.
In many cases Mr Dunscomb has credited in his settlements more specie than the officer was entitled to. Where I find an officer has actually drawn more specie than he was entitled to receive-I have admitted the credits which have been given them by Dunscomb-because they have been finally settled with and received their certificates-and there is no hold left upon them-this appears to have been wrong in Mr Dunscomb, for, in Justice, an officer in this situation should return such [torn out ] of specie-and receive certificates in (?) Where he has credited too much to an officer-and the officer has not received the full amº of such credit-the supposed balance in specie should be paid in cer- tificates-for instance :
He credits Col. Nat. Gist with 7 mº3 pay in 1782 & 3, which is

PETITION FROM FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA., FOR IM PORTATION OF SALT.
VIRGINIA, FAIRFAX COUNTY, Nov. 23, 1775.
Sir : The Committee of this county, informed of the present scarcity of salt in the colony in general, and in this part of it in particular, sensible of the Difficulty, perhaps impracticabil- ity, of procuring it if not done this winter, and apprehensive of the great distress and Discontent that the want of this necessary article may occasion among the people, as well as the impossibility of furnishing proper provisions for the Regi- ments of minute men and draughts from our militia which may be called into service next spring, have directed us to apply to the Honorable, the Continental Congress, praying them to encourage the Importation of salt, either by permit- ting the exportation of Country produce in return, in such manner as is allowed upon the importation of military stores, or in such other manner as that Honorable Board shall judge best. We beg leave, sir, thro' you, to lay this request, as a matter of the utmost importance to the good people of this colony and the public service, before the gentlemen of the Congress, and are,
With greatest respect, sir, Your most obedient servants,

To JOHN HANCOCK, EsQ., President of the Congress.
This petition at the opening of the Revolutionery struggle incidentally presents several matters of importance: 1. It

shows the value of salt as a household commodity, and the difficulty of procuring it at a time when means of rapid and easy communication were wanting. 2. It also shows that at this early period the military strength was supplied by "minute-men " and by drafts from the " militia."
In the list of signers will be found the names of persons in whom posterity will doubtless be interested.
CORRESPONDENCE OF WASHINGTON AND GATES WITH COLONEL BEDEL.
CAMBRIDGE, 1st February, 1776.
Sir : The Continental Congress, haveing calld upon the Government of New Hampshire to raise a Regiment for the Service of the United Colonies, which they have accordingly complied with, and appoint you to the command, I have to desire, that you will use all the deligence & dispatch possible, to raise the said Regiment & march it into Canada takeing your Rout by Number four and Onion River, where a Suply of provisions will be laid up, by order of Major General Schuyler.
This Regiment is to be raised upon the Continental estab- lishment, agreeable to the terms & requisitions of the Congress as transmitted to the Honble Convention of New Hampshire, the necessity of reinforceing our troops, posted before & form- ing the Blockade of Quebec, is too apparent to need being dwelt on, I would therefore have you order each Company to March, as fast as they are raised, and on their arrival put themselves under the Command of the General or Command- ing officer in Canada.
Your Colony will provide you with such necessarys, as are indespensably wanting for the use of your Regiment, in the
T

takeing up of which, and your expences on the March I recommend the utmost Oeconomy, that can be used consistant with dispatch-
You will take under your care the Coghnawaga Indians, who are now here and conduct them in the safest and most agreeable manner to themselves, into Canada. You are to bear their expenses, for which purpose I now give you a war- rant on the paymaster General for the sum of £100 .- D. M.3
You must keep a just account of its expenditure, & render the same to the Commissary of the Northern department when you get there he will be advertized of this matter and directed to settle with you, ---
these sir, are your Instructions, to which I doubt not you will pay a proper attention that you may have a share in the Gory of expelling the instruments of Ministerial Tyranny from that fair province, is the Sincere wish of
Sir, Your most H. St., (Signed) Gº. Washington.

CAMP, 4th October, 1777.
Dear Bedel : I sent your faithful friend Louis to assist you in immediately bringing forward to my assistance all The St. Francis Indians who have lately come to Co'hos, with all those who, from Friendship to you and affection to Our Noble Cause, are ready to step forth at this important Crisis to put a finishing Stroke to this Campaign. The Enemy are at their last Gasp in every Question ; A Bold Stroke in Each Gives peace & Freedom to America. that you & I may live to see & Enjoy that Blessing is the anxious Wish of your affection- ate Friend
and Humble Servant,
[Signed] HORATIO GATES.

CORRESPONDENCE OF WASHINGTON AND GATES.
WAR OFFICE, March 4, 1778.
Sir : As the irruption intended to be made into Canada is suspended by a resolve of Congress, on account of the insuper- able difficulties in getting the necessaries in so short a period as the advanced season would admit, the raising your regi- ment is needless and improper. You will, therefore, cease your proceedings on this account and dismiss any men you may have inlisted, that the continent may be put to no un- necessary expence.
Such charges as you have incurred in preparing for the expedition you will exhibit a State of to the Dep. Pay Master General at Albany, who will settle with you for the same.
I am, Sir, your most h'ble servt.,
[Signed] HORATIO GATES, President of the War Office.
P. S. It will be proper that Major Whitcomb rejoin his Companies, with his present rank.
To COL. TIMº BEDEL, at Coos.
WAR OFFICE.
Col. Timothy Bedel was a prominent Revolutionary officer from New Hampshire. He served as lieutenant in Goffe's regiment in 1760, in Canada. July 6, 1775, he was appointed captain of rangers, and on the 20th of January, 1776, was made Colonel of the 1st N. H. regiment, joining the Northern army under General Schuyler.
For neglect of duty he was tried by Court martial in August, 1776, and cashiered. Despite this action, however, he was shown great consideration by Generals Washington and Gates, as will appear from the foregoing letters, and from the additional fact that he was subsequently made a Major General of his state militia. He died in Haverhill, N. H., in February, 1787.

GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY.
Valley Forge is a village in Chester County, Pa., twenty- four miles west of Philadelphia.
It was the location of Washington's army from the middle of December, 1777, to June 18, 1778. It was selected to pro- tect Congress at York, Pa., whither that body had adjourned from Philadelphia in consequence of the occupation of the". latter place by the British.
At this place Baron Steuben assumed the duties of Inspector- General of the American army. Here, also, Washington an- nounced, on the 6th of May, 1778, the treaty of our alliance with France.
The American forces numbered about 11,000, only about one-half of whom, however, were in condition for service. Their sufferings were intense-a fact known to every tyro in history.
