Bt htalhough resrtlved toof f6r no insult nor inflict any injur', I was determined to evili-r none. Vhen I left tho army,v, however, and retired to civil lifb, I Considered tyelf athorizen greatly Io nar rou the ground upoln which I would be willit.,g to resort to *I personial combat. To tli eterinition which I had previously Illade, to oiflir no instlt or inflict ainy itnijury to give occnsion to anly one to rall ipont me im this wav, (for after w%itnessin2the scene which I have last descr;bed. the weallh and honors of this world would not have tenipt ed sn,- to l-vel -a pistol -it the birenst of a tinat %i homn I lad -iijured.)

And ab take away the principal source from Vhicfx they spring, in tin n4liress to the Pennsyl vania briande, nt Sandusky, I declared it to be my determination to prevent, ly all mCan4 that the. nilitary laws placed in my l;ad', aly injury or even insult, whiclt should be oilired by the superior to the in lerior ollicers. I cannot say what influenco this course on my part, anny have produced il the result. bilt I state with pleasnre, that there wats not a single duel, nor as far a1s I know, a. challenge given whilst I re tailned the command. The activity in %which lie army was consitnutly kept may, however have been tle principal cause of 1in reatron to my present senlt'ments, a sense of higher ol;Iiantions Ihan human. laws or huniman opinions can imipose, had delernmined le never, oni any orension. to ecep1t a chelleni!.e or seek redress for a per sonal injury, by i resort to file laws which ronillse the cole of hoinr.
