( sagacity that they were generally allribut- , ed to Mr. Jay. At the age of nineteen he, entered the American army, and in 1777,; : ul-fl^.ramn of Washing- i was |ut?? -- __ r ton, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel.? c lit this capacity he served during the re- a mainder of the war, and at the siege of a York-town led in person the detachment t that carried by assault one of ihe enemy's c outworks. After the war, he commenced ? the study of the law, entered into its prac- j tice in New York, and soon rose to distinc-! p "tion. In 1782, he was chosen a member of Congress from the State of New York; t| tin 1785, a member of the conventon which : j formed the constitution of the United !e ^Stales and in 1787 and 1788, wrote in con- j q [ "nection with Mr. Jay and Mr. Madison, fj I -the essays published under the title of the () -9- Federalist. In 17SD, he was placed by f Washington at the heart ot me ireusuay _ department, and while in this situation v rendered the most efficient scrveice to s tlie country, by the establishment of an ^ admirable system of finance, which raised p public credit from the lowest depression to j an unprecedented height. In 1795, he g retired from office, in order to secure by r his professional labors a more ample prm. ^ vision for his numerous family- In IVR$, r his public set vices were again required, to p take the second command in the army r which was raised on account of the appre- a headed invasion of the French. On the <? disbanding of the armv, he resumed the j p practice of the law in New York, and continued to acquire new success and repula- j tion. In 1804, he fell in a duel with Col. (j Burr. Vice-president of the United Slates, j and died universally lamented and belov-j f ed. Besides his share in the Federalist, L General Hamilton was the author ofnu-|,j merous congressional reports, the essays. j{ ?* of Pacificue, and the essays of Phocion.? If A collection of his works in three vols. 8vu, I (| was issued at New York some time after, c his death. He was h man of transcendent' i, ~ - - i i abilities and unsuiite<i micgruy, ami uw?..iC s ^ laboured more efficiently in the organize- t 'lion of the present Federal Government. |i 1-- f J [Frz h the SanJersville Telescope of August 13.] J n ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. '|j A "runaway match" came off in Han- t< ?. <cock county, a few weeks since, which t] should be a warning hereafter to all "love- b sick" swains, who may be driven to the a disagreeable necessity of taking the ha'id s of their "lady love" without leave. We .give the particulars as they come to us. A young man had become desperaie'y enamored by the charms of a Miss in the b neighborhood, who thought proper to en- b tertain kindred feelings towards him.? b Their union was strenuously opposed by b 1T11* mother of the vounc ladv. who, for ! r "" : J ?o ~ reasons "best known to herself/ was notjjj willing that her only child should abandon j q the maternal roof and unite her destiny'c with one who "was no better than he c should be!" By-lhe-bye, this old lady was p possessed of a peculiar sort of character p known and designated in this country, as a p "reqular tarn ant!" j m The young couple was, therefore, left g no alternative but to elope, and have their g union consummated in deGance of the op- ^ position of the mother. - . Accordingly, the preliminaries for a "runaway match," were arranged by the lovers. ^ On the next Tuesday evening Miss was T to meet Mr. J. B, the friend of her lover, j Jit the cow-pen, some two hundred yards) "from the house, from whence she was to ^ 'be conveyed, to this gentleman's house,} about two miles distant, where her lover d was to be with the proper officer in atten-j dance, to unite them in the holy bands, &,c. On the evening appointed, our niatriinonial hero made his appearance at the house of his friend, and about dusk Mr. J. B. was despatched after the intended bride, i Our hero remained in most painful suspence for about an hour, when he burst 0 forth in a rare and beautiful strain of elo- ,, quence, peculiarly adapted to the roman- t] tic occasion. 0 "What on earth can detain my friend!? e Can it be possible that he will prove re- a creant to the trust! No! but will he never n return? What can detain him these hours, F days, nay, weeks!! oa important an er- n rand?" b At last the sound of horses feet was 0 k. I MMMAiaktMfv ill A ItmicA n H,I l_ _ Vl nettra,' ttjjpiuabiiiug hk< uuujc, omu rue w glimpse of a white dress in the dark con- i< vioced our hero that his lady love had l' been true to her promise. The young n man met: the party in the yard, where, he eijed the- hand of his bride, "now that we " re out of the clutches .of that horrible old t ^mc," at the same time he stole several * .uacious'smacks, Vwe may consider our J - tip- of.liappitrvss, fttll to the rill be remembered that the bride had not ;poken yet. "Speak my dear ! can it be pnsible that the old,"?at this word his face md eyes came in sudden contact with the inger naih of the female, which was related in such rapid succession, that the >oor fellow was compelled to retreat into he next room in search of a hiding place, ntt was pursued by the woman with denon ferocity, who had by this time gatherid a broomstick and feathered in upon the jridegroom in good earnest, and our poor icro's ideas were confounded and confused so that he scampered over the house in icarch of a hiding place, until he hud received-a sound drubbing. The mystery was s??o? explained. The >ld lady had overheard the lovers when he arrangements were made for the elopenent, and had resolved to play a trick on hem that they would not soon lorget.? Accordingly she placed herself in the laughter's place at the cow-pen. Above /ve have the result of her adventures. . The Alabama sterling bands, due in 1862; sold in New York on the 0th, at the jreat auction of State slocks, &c, sold on iccount ofsuspended Free Banks, at 93 rnd 94. From the name ofthe purchaser of he larger part, we should suppose the purhase made on account of the State link here. Of the payment of these bonds, princi>n 1 nrwl i ri! prpcl ihurp can he Oil dotlbt Job.xly in ihis State lias ever broached he notion of repudiation; and none of the ebls of the State, for principal or interst, has failed to be met with punctuality. "Mie holders of our State securities, at ome and abroad, would do wrong to draw nfavnumble impressions on this head rom the convictions with which they cornlain of the artificial and ruinous system rhich prevails now, and future opprrsions which it is preparing for us. The rank which are charged with the duty of raying these bonds, can doubtless, so ong as they continue in a state ofsuspenion, provide northern exchange to any erjuired amount. But while their capifflS are confessed to be, and while their lotes are current at a less rate than the tar in which their payments must be nade, it is obvious that the operation is i losing one to the Bank and the State.? Should a branch of a National Bank be daced here, the end of that system would ie accelerated; the loss to the banks would >pcome frightful, and the necessity .for lifferent provisions made immediate Sittl nevitable?With so stringent and powerul a neighbor, the State banks will find heir issues available only at a greater epreciation; and the sacrifice of their captals willbe completed unavailingly in a ' .? 1 _ i / ?L e\v years, leaving uie larger pai l ui invir ebt to be provided for, after all, with (impound interest and usury on that, by fixation?whirh, if adopted in time, might ave the banks and make the burden on lie people comparatively light.
