Indian partisans? Sir, I replied, I take Major Hay to be one of the principal. I never saw a man in the moment of execution so struck as he appeared to be, pale and trembling, scarcely able to stand. Hamilton blushed, and, I observed, was much affected at his behavior. Major Bowman's countenance sufficiently explained his disdain for the one and his sorrow for the other. . . . Some moments elapsed without a word passing on either side. From that moment my resolutions changed respecting Hamilton's situation. I told him that we would return to our respective posts; that I would reconsider the matter, and let him know the result. No offensive measures should be taken in the mean time. Agreed to; and we parted. What had passed being made known to our officers, it was agreed that we should moderate our resolutions. In the course of the afternoon of the 24th the following articles were signed, and the garrison capitulated: I. Lieutenant-Governor Hamilton engages to deliver

On the morning of the 3d Rosecrans was prepared to meet an attack. Hamilton's division formed his right, Davies's his centre, and McKean's his left, on the front of Corinth. A brigade, under Colonel Oliver, with a section of artillery, was then formed, while the cavalry watched every approach. Early in the morning thewenty men penetrated Corinth to the headquarters of Rosecrans, on the public square, which they captured. But the victorious Confederate column was soon pushed back, and Fort Powell was retaken by the 56th Illinois Regiment. At the same time Hamilton's guns were making fearful havoc in the Confederate ranks. The latter soon fled to the woods. Meanwhile Lovell had fallen upon Fort Robinett and the adjacent lines, and a terrible battle ensued. The fort was stormed by a strong Confederate fo

ng into every home, North and South; but it ended at Appomattox in the absolute triumph of the republic. Posterity owes to Washington's administration the policy and measures, the force and direction, which made possible this glorious result. In giving the organization of the Department of State and foreign relations to Jefferson, the Treasury to Hamilton, and the Supreme Court to Jay, he selected for his cabinet and called to his assistance the ablest and most eminent men of his time. Hamilton's marvellous versatility and genius designed the armory and the weapons for the promotion of national power and greatness, but Washington's steady support carried them through. Parties crystallized, and party passions were intense, debates were intemperate, and the Union openly threatened and secretly plotted against, as the firm pressure of this mighty personality funded the debt and established credit, assumed the State debts incurred in the War of the Revolution and superseded the loc

He complained of the humanity of Carleton, who, in the autumn of 1776, hesitated to employ the Indians in war; but in Hamilton, governor of Detroit, he found a ready agent in the carrying out of his cruel schemes, Early in September (1776) that functionary wrote he had assembled small parties of Indians in council, and that the Ottawas, Chippewas, Wyandottes, and Pottawattomies, with the Senecas, would fall on the scattered settlers on the Ohio and its branches ; and saying of the Americans, Their arrogance, disloyalty, and imprudence has justly drawn upon them this deplorable sort of war. It was Germain and his a

oards hitherto employed; but he neither favored a chief magistrate with supreme executive power, nor two branches in the national legislature. The whole tone of Hamilton's letter was hopeful of the future, though written in his tent, in the midst of a suffering army. Hamilton was afraid of democracy. He wished to secure for t proceedings to their principal, and on Feb. 17 a correspondent of the Morning chronicle wrote that at a Federal meeting the night before the principal part of Hamilton's speech went to show that no reliance ought to be placed in Mr. Burr. In the election which ensued Burr was defeated, and, though Hamilton had taken no part inilton which Colonel Burr will specify, a prompt and frank avowal or denial will be given.
