' our hands some months ago, by a gentleman of this city, containing some interest* j ing historical reminiscences respecting the celebrated duel between Hamilton and Burr, in wbith. by the fall of the former, the ? -nation was deprived of the greatest man ^ then upon the stage of notion. J his communication is from a clergyman, residing in the interior of the state, far advanced in the n the vale of years, but whose eye is nevers 0 the less not dim, nor his natural force aba-? n ted, i C Big Flats, May 30. c As the public feelings have been unusu- ? nlly excited on the subject of duelling, since 1 tl?e horiid tragedy at Washington, i have ^ called to mind a communication which I [ received about iwentv-five years ago, from f the late Hon. Elisha Boudinot, of Newark. . 1 had the happiness not only of an acquain. tance, hut an intimacy with that excellent 1 anan; and frequently found a seat at his j table. One day when the cloth bad been ^ removed, the conversation turned on the the subject of duelling, when Judge B. rc- ' ,(,*> fir,! r.u incr anecdote : j . v..w When the s<*at of the Federal Government was tft Philadelphia, and Gon. Ham- | ilton was at the head of the treasury do- ( partmenf, he was on his journey to visit his family connections at Albany ; and on the Sabbath day stopped to dine with Judge B., with whom, from their relative situations iu the revolutionary war, lie had become irrtimate y acquainted. After dinner, while th-y were engaged in conversation, the ^ church bed rang for afternoon worship, and the judge widi his characteristic frankness and piety, addressed Gen. H. in the following manner. "Gon. Hamilton, I am happy to ?e? and entertain you ut my fireside, but our church bell is summoning to pubiic worship , and I make it an inviolable rule never to allow my priva'e gratifications, or the 1 courtesies of society, to interfere with my rcligioas duties?if you are disposed :o accompany me to church, I have an eligible sent, find snail be gratified by your comp ttiy; but if you prefer reposing yourself here, there are refreshments before ynu? , in that apartment is a library of books? and if you want any other thing, just touch the bell and a servant will attend you." ^Tho General of course jirccptcd the invitav tion lo church, and this brought tficm so near evening that he also accepted the invitation lo-spend the night there. In 'ho course of the evening some recent duel was spoken of, and Judge B. desired the General to give him his views of h practice which, to the disgrace of our country, was becoming so frequent. The General -readily compli *d, and denounced the prac-tice it) unqualified term*; and concluded by sayiqgi that it could not even claim th^ poor attribute of courage, of which i' boasted? for he was candidly of opinion it r- qwrv I more courage, physical and moral, fi?r a | tnun fn pubhc life to refuse a challenge, mnl ( adhere to virtuous principles, in despite of , the odium and obloquy which mght be c ist j upon hrs name, than to accept a challenge ( and run the hazard of a pis'ol ball. , : Such a declaration from such n m m i cou!3 not but be gratifying to the benevo- ( ieni bosom of Judge B ; but knowing the | deceilUiIness of the human heart, and how frequently the best of men are led, under | trying circumstances, to act in opposiiion to rhe convictions of their conscience, and , their previous determination, he pressed ( 'the matter still farther. Now, General H., said he, I want you to bring the matter home to yourself. Suppose, in the course of political eve nts, some one of equal standing in society should call you to single comoni, what would be your determination ? What ( course would you pursue/ The appeal was , so direct, and the issue which was presents cj was so important, that a solemn pause , ensued lor a few moments ; and when the General -responded, he said?Judge B , 1 ( am afraiJ. in sucli a case, { should add one | to the number of fools and mad men who have gofie before me?1 should fight! This conversation appeared in the course ( of year# to he almost prophetic ?1. Afier , Gen. II. had retired from the head of the j Treasury, and had established himself in ( the ci(y of New York, one of his sons he- . came embroiled in a pro and con political j conversation with a young lawjer (xMr. { Arhor.) At the time, party politics ran { high, and Hamilton mid Achor belonged to : different schools. Achor sent a challenge; ( the associates of Hamilton interposed, and t conceiving him to be ths aggressor, propo-* { ?ed that a gentlemanly apology should bo ( made by Hamilton. But whether Aehor f was goaded on by. his political friends, or , stimulated by his own sense of injury and ( insulted honor,(falsely so called,) he demand- j cd concessions of the most degrading chas % ractet. which he submitted in writing, with c en understanding 'hat it should be published s in one of the daily newspapers. Such a terms could not be !is:ened to for a moment, g and it became necessary to divulge tbe mat* r terto General Hamilton. The cause of s offonce was fairly stated to him. "My son ^ has done wrong," said the Genoral, '* and he must apologise." . He has been advised and is prepared to do so, but Mr. A. de* mauds concessions from your son which his ^ friends think admissible. Seo, here they are, and they must be published in a news c paper! Tbe feelings of the general re. p] volted, and he said??4,My son must never n sign that pa per?he musry^gto!" He did tl fight, and fell a victim to a few words of heat and a false sense of honor. it was said that while Aciior inflicted a k( death wound on the body of young Ha mil- at ton, "he planted a thorn in his own bosom hi which embittered his days. Tuey were but 4ew? fits health was slender, and predisywd him to consumption which was pro* ibly accelerated by the state of his mind, ud lie found an early grave. The history of the General's own unhapy conflict with Col. Burr, and his tragical nd, arc too well known to need any record om my pen, and I shall only indulge myulf in a few moral observations. The Scriptures declare that u the foar of lan bringeth a snare." The fear of phvsial injury is inseparable f om our nature, nd necesary to our comfort and safety ; e: a sense of duty to God, or of obligation > our fellow creatures, may lead us to brave very danger, endure nny hardship?not ven counting our life dear, if by its sacrice we could gain the desired object; but ?at the opinion of our fellow men, as to our ourage or conduct, should so enslave the lind of a man of high standing n Society, f tried courage, and great public usofuless, as to lead him to trample on the wil if God and his country : to jeopardise his ?wn life, or embrue his hands in ;he blood if a fellow man?at the same time that he s convinced the opinions of others whicf >? ad him on are founded on false and vicioui irinciples?tliis is truly astonishing ! Sava jes will seek fo revenge a real injury, 01 hirst for the Iliad of an avowed enemy lut it remained for civilized and polisher society to es'ablish a code of honor wtiicl lompcls a brother to seek a bro her's blooc because, in the discharge of his official duty le had expressed his honest conviction o nen or measures. Into what a snare did Gen. H fu'l, fron lis fear of the opinion of others !?tliii morbid sense o[honor! flow fearful wq his punishment for acting in opposition t< his own conscience and deliberate judg mcnt! A id s'ill moro deplorable was th caso of his surviving antagonist?a fugi'iv from his country?wandering for yeurs, lik< the raven from Noah's ark, o'er a drear wus'e?finding no place of rest or refug< from the scorn of honest anJ v rtuous men and returning after many years lothe lam of his nativity, where he had once shone a a star of the first magnitude, but now a tori of ad his honors, Rnd none so mcuu as ti do him T* verencc. Hamilton lived long enough to rrp^nt n his sins, and died in the hope of pardon an< peace. Burr lived long enough to hard 'i himself in sin, and to die as the fool dielli who says "there is no Go I!" In regard to the duel of Hamil-on ant Burr, wo can likewise add a disclosure which in part accounts for the acceptance "I* *I!i> (Kn? C!icfl Nnl Inni HI mu in iuui vuov* ?r?i| before that tragic event, Gen. Hamihoi visited the lute Qeu. Jacob Rutsen Vui Rensselaer, at his seat in Ciaverack. Thei eonversaion, of courm, ran upon man subjects, both of public impor anco and pri va:e concernment. Speaking of his ow pos tion, and of the a thude of his|pohlic<rival, Burr, Hamilton expressed the opinio that Burr would seek a quarrel, for the pur pose of compassing his fall and ifchulieng od, he shouid feel ol)hged to ace- pt, fo public considerations. Tho idea wn strongly impressed upon his mind that th principles and tiie coursn of policy of Jefiei son would lead to a civil war. In such a event, Hamilton naturally supposed :h;< upon himself would devolve the command o the forces that would take tho field in d-* lence of the cons itu.'ion. And in die even >f a challenge from Burr, he felt that* In ihould be obliged to accept it, since, wen lie to refuse the public mind nught iinbibi Jonbts of in's personal courage, and hi jsefulncss to his country, in t'ie event of i hvil war, would t>" seriously impaired, i not destroyed.

Wo had also a most interesting conver sation upon the subject of ihis duel, a (J tii circumstance preceding it with the la: Jos ah Ogdon Hoffman, some five or si years ago, u Inch it is a subject of regret ti us that wo did not note down ?t the time Indeed we should hav<* done so, hut for th< intention we enter ained of renewing tin conversation. Mr. Hoffman was at th time on t* rms of great intimacy with Ham ilton, and they frequently conversed togelli t r as to the intentions of Burr. But a vrr few days before the ev- ni, Burr sueocedo in throwing Hamilton completely off fron his guard as to Ins designs, fie called upoi Hamilton in reference to some law case ii which both were concerned, and his con Juct was so pleasant, courteous and blatu an the occasion, that Hamilton thought In hud been entirely mistaken as to his hos'il Jesigns. Meeting his friend Hoffman sooi \fierward, flamilton evclaumed?44 Wu; Hoffman?Burr is not going to challengi Tie"?and thereupon proceeded to relau lie circumstances of the interview wehav* ust referred to. Mr. Hoffman saw H im;l on several times on the day preceding tin luel, and entertained no doubt that had h( >een apprised of the passage of the challenge le could prevented the meeting. He hao to doub: that Hamilton intended to confid' he secret to him, for which object he once tailed Mr. Hoffman back, after he had lef lis office?hut on returning, and asking vhat he wanted, Hamilton seemed to havt ihanged his purpose, and put him off by ome playful, though rather fidgeuy eva ion. Mr. Hoffman did not exactly under, land the matter at the time, but the mo. nent he heard that his friend had fallen, he aw what must have been struggling in is bosom. Caution.
