Andrew Moore of Rockbridge, the only man ever elected by Virginia, from the country west of the Blue ridge, to the senate of the United States;––Col. John Stuart, of Greenbrier;––Gen. Tate, of Washington county, Virginia;––Col. William McKee, of Lincoln county, Kentucky;––Col. John Steele, since a governor of Mississippi territory;––Col. Charles Cameron, of Bath;––Gen. Bazaleel Wells, of Ohio; and Gen. George Matthews, a distinguished officer in the war of the revolution, the hero of Brandywine, Germantown, and of Guilford;––a governor of Georgia, and a senator from that state in the congress of the United States. The salvation of the American army at Germantown, is ascribed, in Johnston’s life of Gen. Green, to the bravery and good conduct of two regiments, one of which was commanded by General, then Col. Matthews.
