history. Tho reward duo to vidor |md

with no.unsparing hand.
The sterling, iftirtues audJofty actions of
the great ami prominent leaders of the ltov
olutioo, men who unhesitatingly and fcarionly
pledged "tbeirlivcs, their fortunes and
tirair sacred honor" in the contest' for knman
_ rights and liberty, ami gave a decided char^
# ncior to.tho morals of tlieir country by their
eXtmqiles, have indeed become a* familiar to
fhe ears as household word#,Whilst men Of no
les#' proniinenco,who8C names should be wedded
to fauna have been loft to "bo obscured
by the gathering mist# of time?' It is a
source of regret that biography is not more
^MfiTMitMiaiive in perpetuating the uoblo actions
of the worthy, and of bestowing honor
and merit where tliey are justly duo.
rHo, who by a favorable combination of
circumstances boldly breaks the ties that binds
Wg? to his lowly compeers, unshonths the
sword and wades through blood to eminenco
and power, becomes the champion of the ago
ami his uamo is trumpeted on the blasts of
fame and is conspicuously inscribed on the
proudest pages of his country's nnuals, and
gigantic monumonts arise to perpetuate his
nrpnjory.
The aspiring demagogue, well pleased to
hear his patriotic actions lauded and his
praise heralded forth to tho world,may flourish
for a season, but time will reveal his motives
and true character. It is with such
achievements as these tho pen of the biographer
has been too often and busily employed
to the neglect of the fair fame of tho truly
great men whose best energies liavo been
devoted to tho accomplishment of objects infinitely
more deserving and worthy than distruction,
conquests or noisy plaudits, or the
empty parade of million?. As a nation wo
possess no richer treasure than the undying
fame of those who in "ilio limes which tried
men's souls" evinced to the world an ability
to resist,with suocess,opprcs?ion and her mfitioqs,
and protect their own rights and privileges
without infringement upon those of
others.
"If any gcucrous and abiding award be
duo to patriotism nnd well earned distinction
these men woro nnd are justly entitled to it."
If they were prompted from motives of sclfadvancemeut
to render such distingushed
services to their country, and an ambition to
livo in the praises of future ages, they would
not be deserving of a high place in the picture
of tho world's great drama. But wo can
trace no such motives in their actions, but
promptly yielding to tho pleading voico of
freedom, they inhesitatingly toro themselves
away from tho altars of home and the warm
and tender endcarmeuLs there concentered,
and banishing from their minds "all trivial
fond regards," sought nothing but tho advancement
of the best interests of their country
and the happiness nnd wellbeing of their

due to this "matchless brotherhood of patriots
and heroes'1 should prompt us to snatch as
it wore from the oblivion of tlio past their
worth and names, transmit their aclious to
posterity as bright examples of bravery and
virtue, and entitled to the highest respect ami
consideration. The subject of this sketch,
Capt. Rodeiit Kiukwood, is amongst the
fearless and neglected band, w hoso name is
deserving of faino commensurate with the
commanding and influential position of the
American Republic.
Ilis memory is pleasingly a?k1 gratefully
cherished by the citizens of Delaware, his
native State, and whilst living ho enjoyed
their confidence in an eminent degroe.?
This unflinching firmness, under the most
depressing trials and difliculties, his words
of kind ouoourngetaent in the darkest and
most trying tunes, eloquently proclaim how
justly deserving is his naino entitled to be
inscribed on the roll amongst those whoso
worth and momory the gratitude of after
ages t?U1 no* willingly let dieEarly
manifesting a taste fur reading, his
father was induced to givo him a good education.
He entered quite young as a stu
dent at the "Old Academy" in tho little
village of Newark, where ho inado rapid
progress in tho study of the dead languages,
and soon distinguished himself for his application
and abilities. Ills father intending
him for tiie church, continued him at his
academical studies, until suddenly die Involution
put an end to his long and dearly
Cherished hopes.
Even beforo Kodkht had left his studies,
hd toolf a deep and lively intffost in the
great and exciting political questions which
agitated and convulsed tho colonics, and oa
several occasions, publicly avowed his determination
in the event of war to espouse
the cause of freedom, and take up arms in d<v
fence of his country.
patriotism within 'the-bo80tiia,^>f,?\'ciy lover
of freedom, and>#erw$ as * tfgnal note for
the bravo to raHy to the rescue of right *gainst
might lie left, the delightful and
flowery paths of literature into wthkh had
so recently enw'sifetleally entered, and enrolled
his name as a soldier. Upon joining
thiarmy he was made lieutenant. He became
associated with the main army under
Washington at New York, aud continued
with it during the disasterous cninpaign of
Long Island, and was amongst ih? principal
sharers in the hardships, trials and privations
w hich resulted to the troops, lie aoQpinpanied
Washington to $ie Jerseys alid
participated in the glorious triumphs of the
Americans at l'rinceton and Trenton, lie
did not remain long a lieutenant. His
bravery on the bat^lo field his earo for
the comfort of ilioso under, his command,
soou endeared him to every soldier. No
man, perhaps, ever poesessed in a more eminent
degree, the confidence and esteem of
others, than did he over those with whom i|
was his province to he associated with.
As the commanding offlcor of a company
of veteran soldiers, ho was admirably fitted.
lie was in a flanking pfcrty at the battle of
Brandy wine, and was constantly exposed to
the Are of the enemy'e cannon and small
arms. At tho battle of Gormantnwn, the
Delaware Regiment displayed signal bravery
in driving back tho enemies lines three
miles through their own encampment.
During the dark and gloomy period of
1778-'9, Oapt Kiiikwoou constantly remained
with tho Delaware troops, gallantly
fighting in evory engagement of importance
which occured. His sapless devotion and
patriotic courage in tho struggling cause of
freedom, soon attracted the attention, and
called forth tho admiration of "Washington,
between whom there sprung up a strong and
lasting ariendhhip. His refinement of manners,
and his youth and amiability, rendered
him a warm friend, and an agreeable and
pleasant companion. In the early part of
tho year 1780, he accompanied (Jen. Oatks
to South Carolina, and participated, in the
battles of Camden, Cow pens, RudgleyV
Mills, Ninety-Six and Eutaw Springs.
lie was in every attempt against the
works at the seigo of Ninety Six, and at
Eutaw, ho fought with Spartan bravery.
At tho battle of Camden, the Maryland
and Delaware troops covered themselves
with immortal glory, and upon tho proudest
fields of martial Europe tlioro never was
displayed more daring courage, than was exhibited
by them in this engagement. After
tho close of the war, ho became possessed
of an extensive tract of land by grant and
l?uii;iittau in uiu uiuiuu country on uie vrmo,
and removed thither in the year 1700. It is
H?id that ho was at one time the oidy white
man settled on the western side of the river,
lie set to work with his usual energy nnd
resolution, and immediately erected a log
cabin iti tho dusky wilderness. Before, however,
he had fully completed his rudo tenement,
he was suddenly assailed at night by
a band of Indians. Suspecting from some
suspicious movement in tho morning that
they meditated an attack, he crossed the river
and procured aid. At night their fierce
yell reverberated through the woods and
gave warning of their savage intent. The
Indians, sure of meeting with an easy
prey, wero bold and fearless in their attack,
when suddenly and unexpectedly a well
timed and well directed firo was poured on
them by Kirkwood and his recruits, which
sent them yelling back into the forest. Panic
stricken at their loss, they fled in procipi
tation and confusion, leaving the little band
of brave and hardy pioneers tho victors.?
Kiuawoon was major by brevet in 1701
under the accomplished, though unfortunate
St. Clair, who was ordered by tho government
to drivo hack tho Indians on the frontier
of the west. Shortly afterwards he
gloriously fell at St. Clair's defeat^ fighting
with ardor at tho head of his bravo and
dauntless detachment. This was the thirtythird
time he had faced death on the sanguinary
field of strife.
Thus fell the bravo and noblo Kirkwood
by tire hands of sarrtgo foos; ho who had
passed u&cathod through tho fiercest battles
of. tho RoYoV'.iiop, and h^d faced danger
in a thousand shapes. * >
In the great and glorious struggle which
resulted in the independence of the Araeri
can colonic*, no one displayed more cool determined
courage, or possessed more enthusiasm
than ho. Amongst the first to talfo
1 !up arms in the defence of hU conTjti'y, arid
to vindicate her deep nnd accumulated
, wrongs, was amongst the very last to relinquish
them.
He commenced his useful and active career
at an age when most youths shrink from
ij the fiercer struggles of fife, and prefer the
' sweeter and softer blandishments of home
and pleasure.
>' Capt. Kihkwood hi early life became an
exemplary christian, and to this cause, might

The Phylosophy of Bain.
To understand the phylosophy of the beautiful
and often sublime phenomenon, so often
| witnessed since the creation of the World, and
I qA essential to the very existence of plants and
animal*, a few facta derived from observation
ahd a long train of experiments must be remembered.
1. Were the atmosphere everywhere
! and ntjgli times of. uniform temperature, wc
should never have rain, or hail, or apow^-tTho
water absorbed by it in evaporating from
?1,A ?1.~ ?l>. -?e 1 J i J
>U? nun (IUU HIV cniui * BUnmW WUU1U UOSCenil
i? an imperceptible vapor, or cease to be absorbed
by the air when it was fully saturated.
8. Tiie absorbing power of the atmosphere,
and, consequently,- its capacity*'** retain
humidity, is proportionately greater in
warm thau cold air.
3. The air near the surface of tho earth
is wanner than is in the region of the
cionds. The higher wa ascend from the earth
the colder do we find tne atmosphere. Hence
the perpetual snow on very high mountains |
in tho hottest climate.
Now, when, from continued evaporation,
tho air is highly saturated with vapor,
though it be invisible and the sky cloudless,
if its temperature is suddonly reduced, by
cold currents descending from above, or rushing
from a higher to a lower latitude, its capacity
to retain moisture is diminished, clouds
are formed and tho result is rain. Air condenses
as it cools, and, like a sponge filled
with water and compressed, pours out the
water which its diminished capacity cannot
hold. How singular, yet how simple, the
philosophy of rainl What but Omniacenoe
could have dovised such an admirable arrAnm>mont

An Active Merchant
Oj*e of our oldest and most esteemed
merchants left this city on the 5th of August
in the steamship Pacific, and returned
in the name vessel on tho 3d of September,
having been absent just twenty-nine days,
during which time ho travelled over a large
portion of Kngland, Scotland and Wales,
transacting a large amount of business, closing
old accounts of many years standing,
oj>ening new ones, andlftntering into negotiations
with the zeal dtia activity characteristic
of our oountrymon?sleeping in railway
cars at night, attending to business during
tlie day, and participating in amusements in
tho evening. Upon one occasion, when our
friend was introduced to a leading English
merchant, the latter inquired of hiin, "How
old agp you ?"
To which tho answer was, "three score."
"Three score 1" exclaimed tho English
merchant "Why, if you are thus active
at three score, what must your young men
bet"
"Oh," replied our friend, "the youngsters
in New York run right over me; they
would not think of wasting a week in doing
ilie Dusmess l nave transacted in the United
Kingdom."
Our frier id gives a moat favorable account
of the JKnglish crops. lie describes the appearance
of the grain, as it stands in shocks

Baiting Houses.
