some qfyour readers.,: When. Burr had killed.Haul*

—-spending a few/ days i at Cramberry—at which
pinch Cortinlodore Trlixlon then resided. On the day
Q f that Bud. and fatal, duel, I.was reclined uponjhe

a servant in ai prompt and,earnest manner, ordering
him to go immediately to Commodore Truxton, and,

saying,’ ’• Commbdonf, I have killed Gem Hamilton

Mr, Editor—Christmas day is over, and yesterday
every thing'seethed to relapse into its wonted silence.
The monotony of lime, undisturbed for so longa
time, reappeared with Its death like stillness, and.lts
tenfold horrors. Bill fur different is the aspect.which
to-day presents. Our battalion wo* ordcrcdthiw morn*
ing lo'the General's encampment, well known by the
name of Buena Vista, where it was said oil would
undergo a general inspection. On arriving there we
discovered all the trpopa arrayed and waiting as if
to witness the enactment of some melancholy, scene.
Nor were wo deceived by their appearance, for no
sooner had we been assigned otlr places in the ranks,
than we heard the music of a drum and-fife,nndlm
mediately discovered a small procession moving
slowly and silently olong—a few paces in advance
of which wore four men bearing a.coffin, and in the
rear of theln, but following hard by, was a man by
himself, whom we immediately recognized! as the
individual for .Whoso sake. the coffin bad. been filled
and prepared—having reached a place whicb.nllcycS |
could see, they called a bull, and the coffin, being
placed' on tho ground a few paces In advance, this
lone man in question was brought forward and scal
ed therdon. ; I was not sufficiently near to hear what
was said, but I could plainly see what was going to
bo done. A file,of some half dozen.mciv; who were
armed for tho occasion, formed a straight-lino in
