HISTORIC al. 4 NCIDENI TS CONNECTED
W rrII TI T C A PTURE OF FORT
DUQUESAE.
It is now a hundred years, lacking a few
months, since the capture of Old Fort Du-
quesne, and the battle on Grant's Hill, where
the Court House now stands. The following
article, giving the most prop - Anent particus
tars of an important event in history which
occurred in our own city, we extract from the
Olden Times, a magazine published some ten
years ago in our city, and edited by Neville
B. Craig Esq. We presume very few of our
readers have ever seen the article, and it will
be a matter of useful as w:11 as interesting
history to all and especially to the young. It
is from the pen of Mr. Craig himself, than
whom, no man in the country is better ac
quainted with the events which relate to the
early history of our city, tind the country
which surrounds it. The sketch follows :
In the preceeding, o't a,t r of the Olden Times
it was stated hat the w b. tween Great Britain
find France had beet. it r.r , uuate and disgrace
ful on the part of the fut rner power, during the
years 1755, 1755 and 1757 The campaign of
1757 closed, leaving the ittle'ri of Great Britain
in North Aueiriea in a mere gloomy situation
hen at any former period. By the capture of
Fell William Henry, on Lake George, in Now
York, by the Marquis de Muntce.lm, the French
obtained complete possession of that lake and
Champlain, which afford the eishst passsage into
C tuella, or from that province into the British
colonies. By the destruction of Oswego they
had obtained control of the Great Lakes, and by
their possession of Fort Duquesne they main
tained their esoentlency over the Western Indi
ans, and held control of all the country west of
tie Allegheny mountains. Under the circum
stances it was natural enough for Lord Chester
field to say, '4 never yet saw so dreadful a time."
In J uno, 1757, at the very time when that no
bleman was writing in so desponding a tone, the
great man from whom our city derived its name,
wit . placed at the head of the ministry, and a
very short time showed that in him were com
bined in an extraordinary manner qualities sel
dom united in one person. His talent for action
seemed even to eclipse those displayed in debate,
and in directing the vast and complicated move
ments of war, extending on both elements, over
every quarter of the world, ho evinced a vigor
o mind, a clearness of judgment, and a decis
si in of character, surpassing tho expectations,
even of those who had long been accustomed to
admire the firOall:ViS aubm he hail exhibited in
his political cuurse. His plans partaking of the
proud character of his own mind, and the ex
alted opinion he entertained of his countrymen,
were always grand, and the means he employed
fur their execution never failed to be adequate
to the object. Possessing without limitation the
puuliceonfidenee,he commanded all the resources
of the nation, awl drew liberally from the pub
Le. puree ; but the money was always faithfully
al plied in the public service. Too great in his
spirit, too sublime in his views, to become the
in-trument of faction when placed at the head of
the nation, he regarded only the interests of the
nation, and overlooking the country or the party
welch had given birth to merit, he searched only
f,,r merit, and employed it wherever it could be
found.
'Se have (teethed it proper to give this notice
of that great roan, William Pitt, Bud of Chat
ham, from whom our oily derived its name, al
though it does nit come within the strict limits
which we have prescribed for our publication.
When that great man assumed the control of
public affairs in Great Britain, Earl Londown
Commander-in-ebief in America. The fol-
Iniving notice of him, from Graham's History of
North America, prdves bin to have been an un
lit agent in the hands of th • new Premier:

iraers to render the guarolaii care of the parent
State ridiculous, and ito supremacy odious to
the colonists, they could hardly have selected a
titter instrument for the achievement of the sin
i-ter purpose than Lord Londown. Devoid of
geaius, either civil or military ; always hurried,
and hurrying others, yet making little progress
in the despatch of business; hasty to project
and threaten, bat mutable, indecisive, and lan
guid in pursuit and action; negligent of even
tne semblance of public virtue ; impotent against
the enemy whom lie has sent to destroy; tortni
dable only to the spirit and liberty of the peo
ple whom he was commissioned to defend ; he
excited alternately the disgust, the apprehen
-dens, and the contemptuous amazement of the
eal3nisui. .11.318 like St. Goorge on a sign,' said
a Philadelphian to Dr. Franklin, 'always on

lu February, 1728, Lord Londown was super
se led, and Gen Abercrombie appointed in his
plain, Mr. Pitt is reported to have assigned as
a reason for removing the Earl, "Mat he could
nrver learn what Ice was doing."
leurable Buscaweu arrived early in the spring
of 1756, :it Halifax, with a formidable fleet and
Jima twelve thousand British troops, under the
e miniaud of General Amherst. On board this
fleet, (we may mention in passing,) cam,e Arthur
tit. Clair, who afterwards became a citizen of an
adjoining county, and who was subsequently
imeh distinguished by his talents, services and
un , fortunes. General Abercrombie had they
uu ler his command the most powerful army ever
b fare seen in the new world. His whole I:Minl
tier', comprehending troops of every description;
were computed by Mr. Belsham at fifty thousand'
non, of whom about twenty thousand were pro ; l i
vim:jai:l. The plan of the campaign of 1758 em
braced three expeditions. Two of these come
not within the scope of our work; we shall, there
fire, barely mention, that the first was against
Louisburg, in the island of Cape Breton. The
direction of this expedition was entrusted to
General Amherst, with fourteen thousand men,
with a fleet of twenty ships of the line, and
thirty frigates It proved completely successful.
The second expeditieu was against Ticonderoga
and Crown Point, and was undertaken by Gene
ral Abercrombie himself, with sixteen thousand
It prayed unsuccessful, but afterwards a
detachment of three thousand men from the same
under Colonel Bradstreet, took possession ,
of Fort Frontegnac, where Kingston, in Uoper
C inada, now stands, with sixty pieces of cannon,
a large number of small arms, provisions, mili
tary stores and goods to a very large amount;
eine armed vessels, mounting from eight to
eighteen guns each, also fell into the hands of
the English.
Having destroyed the fort, the vessels, and snob
stores as could not be brought away, Colonel
Bradstreet recrossed the lake and rejoined the
army.

The success of Colonel Bradstreet is supposed
to have contributed materially to the fortunate
result of the expedition, which was directed
tg iinst Fort Duquesne, by cutting off the com•
munication between Qaebec and the Ohio river
oy intercepting supples intended for the latter
place.
Tho third expedition, that one which comes
within the scope of our publication, was against
Fort Duquesne. This was committed to Gene
ral Forbes, with an army of near nine thousand
menoconsisting of British regulars, and provin
cials from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina and the lower counties, now Del
aware.
General Forbes marched from Philadelphia
about the middle ef July, 1758, to join Colonel
B iuquot at Raystown, now Bedford. Groat,
probably unavoidable delays, were experienced,
in making the necessary arrangements for ad•
vancing from the latter place, and it was not
until the month of September, that the Virginia
provincials under Col. George Washington were
ordered from Fort Cumberland to Raystown.

To the Editor of the Boston Courier : —The re
cently published volume, entitled "A History of
the Republic of the United States as traced in the
Writings of Alexander Hamilton and his Cotem
poraries," has given rise to stone comments on
the claim preferred by its author, John C. Ham
ilton, to the composition by Colonel Hamilton of
many of Washington's letters. These comments
seem to have mistaken the gruuud taken by the
author, who has confined himself to a quotation
of Washington's letter to Congress, stating that
his letters were " drawn by his aids and secreta
ry," Washington thus publicly avowing the fact,
claimed in this work, of Hamilton.'s instrumen
tality and that of the other members of his staff.
FEBRUARY 20
The subject admits of wide and large discnsiion.
For the present, we eonfiue ourselves to the pub
lication of the view talon by P. gentleman fully
conversant with the matter. This gentleman is
the son of au officer of the Massachusetts line,
an has iu his possessioiL muocrous letters of
Wa-bington. His position 1-..wyer is among
the most eminent in this country ; his character
commands universal respect; a:1 a reit 01 Eir and a
man of taste, we know flOt his superior; and ho
is distinguished for that calm wisdom which rare
ly errs. We may add that he was during their
lives, the intimate friend of Judge Bushrod Wash
ington, of Chief Justice Marshall and of Daniel
Webster, and it does no injustice to the estimate
of either of those eminent personages to say,
that he is equally with either of them au orna
ment to .to our country.
This gentleman observes
Doubtless the trawr of the letters was prescrib
cd or directed by Washington. If there is any
thing in the manner of describing them, as being
written '' under the signature of Washington,"
or "in his benalf," er " fur him," that implies
the contrary of this, the description must so far
be admitted t .. - oeeous ; but it implies nothing to
the contrary, a-, the primal authority, control
and lead of Washington, in regard to the funda
mental purport or h?ftring of every letter signed
by Washington, is the very thread of connection
of the history. But whist cannot be admitted is
that the in Loner in which the leading thought or
purpose is expressed in these letters is that of
Washington, nor consequently the incidental
qualifications which make that thought what it
is and tr , ,,t hiug else, nor the collateral matters by
which the purpose is explained, justified or en
forced. These were not Washington's and were
Hamilton's. No man who is familiar with Gen
eral Washington's style can possibly entertain the
opinion that these ,etters were his composition,
nor can any man who is familiar with the style
of Hamilton entertain doubt that they were .
throughout the composition of Hamilton. They
contain the leading thought or purpose of Wash
ington, expressed and enforced by Hamilton in
his own words and manner, with all the incidents,
whether of emphasis, or qualification, or corrob
oration, that in the judgment of Hamilton would
best exhibit. or present the leading and controll
ing intention of Washington. All this results
from both the internal evidence and from the po
sition of Hamilton in General Washington's mil
itary family, which was not that of scribe or
copyist, but was " principal and 4 most confiden
tial," and who satisfied the desideratum which
%V tshington himself deseribed as absolutely ne.
cessary to him, by being a person "that can
think For me as well as execute orders."
To what extent this was done by Hamilton,
beyond the mere leading thought or purpose, or
even the occasional suggestion of that thought,
cannot be defined with any more certainty in his
c.ise than in that of a Secretary of War to the
Chief Executiie of a nation ; but in connecting
the public, biography of such an officer with the
progress of the revolution, there seems to be
even less danger to the Commander-in-Chief, in
making a special attribution to " the principal
and most confidential aid " of the letters which
remain of his inditing ; than iu the cases in which
the letters, orders or proclamations of a Presi
dent are attributed in point of authorship to the
Secretary of State, by whom they are counter
signed. The language used in this respect by
the son of General Hamilton, was intended, no
d ,übt, to assert General Hamilton's authorship,
not to exclude the direction, suggestion, super
vision or control of Washington ; and unless he
had adopted in the case of every letter some
formal periphrasis which would have deformed
the page, it is not easy to perceive what other
toothed could nave been used, that would not
Lsce ohlterated the agency of Hamilton, and
drawn the reader's attention exclusively to the
signer of the letters. It is very clear, certainly,
that the author has subjected himself to a criti
cism which, by some other language, he might
h ive avoided without impairing the importance
of General Hamilton's agency; but for the most
pert, such criticism will not proceed from those
who were the uniform friends a d admirers of
Washington, but from the eulogists of those who
were the cotemporary friends of neither Wash
ington nor Hamilton, and who were willing to
aliuw the praise of the one only when it obscured
the praise of the other. Those are not the true
frisnds of Washington, who will not discriminate
between those great qualites in which he was un
surpassed, and perhaps unequalled, by any man
of any age, and thane qaalities which his mod
esty disclaimed,' and the affectation of which
would have impaired the unity as well as the
grandeur of his character.

The New York Express h ue done for the claim
eet up by General 11 sord'or his father
of having written Waihingteu's Farell Ad-.
dress. That piper say that Chief Jnati e Jay,
several years betero his death, which occurred in
1.29, publish° f a letter in which he stated that
Washington, after having written the Farewell
Ad tress, enclosed it to Hamilton for perusal and
correction, with a request that it might be shown
t , him (Jay ;) that they zifterward.4 met and
read it over together, when they Cagle to the
c mclueion that it was all right and ought not to
be altored ; that it was sent back to Washington
Ao , hout the alteration of a word, and that it
w is published exactly as it was when read by
Hamilton and himself, and as it now is. So this
ridiculous pretension is tiiktn,:oil at once and
forever. It seems strange to us that the son and
biographer of so great a man as Hamilton un
doubtedly was, could not be contented to let his
false rest upon its own bottom, but that in dress
ing his father up in a suit which nature never
designed him to wear, ho should have run the
risk of inclining the world to doubt even the
lwrit which was undoubtedly hie In the latter
part of Washington's administration he was bit
terly assailed by the minions of party, and one
of the charges alleged against him was that he
w is a none of wax in tt e hands of Hamilton.
No man who knew anytning.of Washington at
that day believed one word of the slander No
in in was ever lees wider influence—no man ever
possessed a more uric inquerable will—no man
ever manifested a more unalterable resolution
when he believed himself to be in the right.
That man never breathed that would helve dared
to approach Washington with the vievi of con
verting him into a catspaw to serve his own
purposes Naturally of strong passions, as all
great natures like his must of necessity be, ho
habitually kept them under the completest Buh
-1 jection to his reason. When they did escape his
control, however, as was sometimes the case, but
very rarely, they made all tremble who beheld the
explosion. Mr. Jefferson describes it as terrific
beyond description. It may be set down as abso
lutely certain that neither Alexander Hamilton
nor anyoody else would ever presume very far
upon the good nature of a man so sagacious, so
dignified and so little disposed to countenance
impertinent intermeddling. The party writers
of the day, however, for their own purposes,
represented Washington as entirely in leading
-tringe to Hamilton It was their cue to place
him before the world as an ignoramus, and hence
they maintained that ho could not even write a
letter, but that Hamilton wrote all his letters for
him. It is strange that the son of Hamilton—
;hat man whom above all others he loved and
trusted—should think it due to the fame of his
father to revive these infamous calumnies of
Washington's bitterest enemies. We feel assu
red that were Hamilton, alive, and were such au

It is oar opinion not only that Washington
wrote every line of the Farewell Address, but
that no other man who ever lived could have
