The National Intelligencer.
It is refreshing (<> find in Harper's Weekly,
nil 'original article, and tlial -article a
sketch of "the National Intelligencer and its
Editors." Wo regret that our limits will
hot permit the entire transfer of the wellwritten
chronicle of our esteemed cotcmporaries
to our columns, Hut we must content
ourselves with some extracts. Indeed, weJearn
that the article itself is but an extract
from n detailed history of the "Intelligencer,"
for which tlio talented author has been-diligently
eollceting materials for several materials
for several years. Washington

"On the removal of the government from
L Philadelphia to Washington,Mr. Harrison
Smith followed with his printing oilice, and
on the 31st October, 1800, commenced the
National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser
as a tri weekly journal. By liitu
alono it was couducled until 1807, when he
was joined by Joseph (Jales the younger,
who had just concluded a re.-idence in Phil
adelphia in perfecting himself in tin* practical
knowlidgeof printing. In 1810 Mr.
Smith retired from the business, ami Mr.
Gales became tlie sole proprietor of the National
Intelligence!*, at which time the second
title was dropped. And here we must
pause a moment for the purpose <>f looking
at the antecedents of the newly-fledged editor
of this important journal, lie was born
on the 10th April, 1780, in the rural town i
ot Eckington, near Sheffield, and wlicn his J
father crossed ihc ocean was nearly sewn i
years ol?l. On his removal to U.deigh, |
ahout six years afterward, lie wa< placed at !
school, and subsequently attended the University
of North-Carolina ; and his youth
prefigured the coming man. A> a hoy ho
is said to have a fondness fur the more sterling
authors, and to have been an a<h-pt in
the art of elocution. Like his father before
him. ho f.-n-K* liimcf.tr
the art of stenography, ami it was in compli- j
ance with the wishes of his father that he i
removed to Washington ; ami though at |
first connected with Mr. Smith as an assist- j
ant, lie very soon became I.is partner, and '

the honor of teaching such men as Wind

Mr. Seaton entered earnestly upon the duties
of life, and being a ready wiiter, he
very soon become a politician. lie firat
becanje assistant editor of one Richmond
papers. From Richmond he wsnt to Petersburg,
and took charge of the Republican
during a long absence of its proprietor, Mr.
Thomas Field. His next advance was to
tho proprietorship and editorship of the
North Carolina Journal, published at Halifax,
the former capital of the State. Though
its politics had pfeviously been of the federal
sohcol, he promptly took sides with
the republican party, in which he had been
raised, and lo which be always belonged ;
and when, on account of ill licaltb, contracted
on the sickly shore of the Uoanoke, he
sold the journal, it had become in his hands
twice as valuable a property as when he
purchased it, and obtained that additional
price. His next move was to Rnleigh,
where,in accondance with a previous ar
rangement ho joined himself to the Register
of Mr. Gales, and sister of his business

of Hums hi list have felt this; and it is
quite probable that many have attempted

This is the added verse:

This poetical achievement is attributed to
Mr. Charles tloiiKl, a gentleman f>f our
town, whose' I if'j has been chiefly devoted
to the successful combination of figures?
hut nut fiLj'ires of rhetoric. The verse was
written some years ago, hut it has not hitherto

deserves to be incorporated with the original
song in any future edition of Burn's
poems, and we hope some publisher will

. * Anecdote of Aaron Burr.
Trtv. T^i-vi nprwk'sv llrini. ivii IT auk -
ton*?Burr's Fkelings Towards Hamilton.?'The
duttl between Burr and Hamilton
was fought at seven o'clock in the morning,
and immediately afterwards, Burr rettimed
to his own house on Ivichmoud Ilill
(now corner of -V a rick and Charlton streets,
New York.)?On the morning of the duel
it chanced that one of Burr's cousins arrived
in town from Connecticut, and made his
way, about eight o'clock, to .Richmond Hill.
Alexis, the factotum of the establishment,
obeyed his summons at the door, and shpw
od him into' the library, where he found
Colonel Burr, alone, and engaged in his
usual.avocations, Burr received his young
relative cordially, and, in eveyr respect, as
usual. Neither in his manner nor in his conversation
was there any evidence of excitement
or concern, nor anything whatever to
attract the notice of his guest. Except the
master ofthe house, not a soul in Richmond
Hill yet knew aught of that morning^
work; nor, indeed, could it be said, iu any
sense of the word, that the master himself
knew what he had done. *
In .a few minutes breakfast was announced,
and the two gentleman went to the dining
room and breakfasted together. The
conversation was still quite in the ordinary
strain, Burr inquiring after friends in the
country, anu me youtn giving the lutorma
tion sought. Afler breakfast, the gu?*st
bade his liost good morning, and strolled
off towards the .city, which lie reached
about tea o'clock. As he walked down
Broadway, he fancied he observed in passers-by
the signs that something extraordinary
had occurred or was expected. Near
Wall street, an acquaintance rushed up to
him breathless, and said;
Colonel Burr has killed General Hamilton
in a duel this morning."
"Why, no he hasn't," replied the young
centlemnn. with flin iitrrmaf. nncilivonam ? ]
-> > I?
have just como from there and taken breakfast
with him."
"But," replied the other,"I have this moment
wen the news on the Bulletin."
The cousin reflected for a moment on the
absolute serenity of Burr's manner, and con
eluding that he would certainly have mentioned
so interesting and occurrence if it had
taken place, was still utterly incredulous, and
denouncing the reports ns false, went on his
way. Before turning into Wall-street, he
found the whole city astir, and soon had reason
to suspect that the bulletin was only
too true. So completely could Burr command
Iris features and conccal his feelings.
To a late period ofljja life. Burr justified
his conduct with r?gftrd to this duel. Once,
it'appears, and only once, lie revisited the
ground at Weehawken, where it was fought.
The scene was "remarkable" indeed, as Mr.
Parton observes; *

somewhat thoughtful and silent, but seem* I
ed to enjoy the bright day and pleasant I
shores, as lie always , eifjoved . bright and |
pleasant tilings. On reaching the scene, lie i
plaefcd his companion on the spot where '
Hamilton had stood, and went to the place !
where lie had stood himself, and proceeded i
to narrate the incidents of the occasion. t
The conversation turned io tlie causes of i
| the duel. As lie talked, (lie old lire seeyv j i
! ed to behind led within him: his eve blazed;! I

Mr. Everett's Oration.
There never was a time when a study ot |
the character and teachings of the ^Father of j
hi* country was calculated to produce more
! beneficial results than the present. Apart
; from the charm with which Mr. Everett's
i unsurpassed elofjunnee, ivKnenicnt, and
scholarship surround every subject which
he treats, and apart from the reverenti.il interest
which every American worthy of the
name, must feel in the subject of Mr. jEve
n-tt's brilliant address on the character of
Washington,?few out of the thousands,
we are persuaded, who were ?o fortunate as
'to hear that address, at the Academy of
Musfc, on Thursday night, failed to fee) the
. force of that portion of it where th6 orator
I conjures lie Amer'utnn people, never to forget
the solemn* teachings of the'great
Washington, and,mver .to waver in their
fidelity to the Union, to the foundation of
which is disinterested sacrifices and indomitable
energy so largely contributed, anil
for jli? maftiienahce of which his far seek*
ng sagacity dictated such good - counsels,
lie foresaw the dangers and difficulties
which his.descendants would have to cn*
i 4 *
counter in perpetuating dtul preserving the
inheritance, which lie and Tiis coadjutors in
the great work 01 the Revolution bequeathed
to them. He foresaw that, s( country :
situated in dilTcreuUnarallcls of latiTmlu, as 1
the Slates of this Republic are, whose idens
and institutions must be'as various as its '
skies and the productions 9f the coij, could,
only be permanently prosperous so long as j
each individual member of the great family
of sovereign commonwealths, ^otislitutitig) *
the confederacy, should scrupulously respect
the peculiar views and domestic g >v- J
ermnent of the others, lie sfaw th;it for- '
bearance was necessary to maintain liurmo- '
nious relations, and lie also saw that the '
time might come when jnistajten judgment
titiprmcipled ambition or political fanatic 1
j ism, would create and foster hostile feelings !
between,different sections of the country, 1
and when, as Daniel Webster remarked,
"State would be arrayed against State, interest
against interest, parly against parly, 1
careless of the continuance of that unity of
government which constitutes us one peo- 1
pie."?He saw the rocks ahead, he knew
the danger, and when'he resigned tlie command
of the proud vessel which had built
and guided through ?torm and darkness, '
he laid down for the guidance oT tlio people
to whom he confided the great trust of
future government, an unerring chart by
which they might surely avoid the breakers,
and" save themselves from wreck. There
