"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Xow we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that na- tion, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But. in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for Avhich they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom— and tliat government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

He has long been well known amongst us as a tirm patriot and an excellent citizen, and his death will be lamented. Thus one after another the veterans who participated in the struggle for our independence are passing away." Poiis)iioi(Ui 'jfoitriKit, Dec. 2S, /Sj;o, '"Capt. George Fishley. We gave in our paper last week a short obituary of this venerable citizen, who died in this city on the 2(;th of December [ls.")Oj, in Ids Dlst year. Mr. Fishley possessed to the last years of his life, most of his faculties to a re- markable degree. For many years he has on public occasions aitpeared con- spicuously in tlie processions, in a cocked- hat which almost vied in years with the wearer. He was born on the 17th day of June, iron. At the age of seventeen he en- tered the continental army under (ien. Poor and Col. Dearborn. In the coursa of the three years of his service he was at the battle of Monmouth [.lune 28, 177s], (in which action (ianeral Washing- ton commanded the .Vmerican and Sir Henry Clinton the British forces), at the execution of Major Andre [October 2, 17so],andin thj various positions the army occupied at that time. As an in- stance of revolutionary service, he related that just seventy-three years ago last Tuesday [December :'.!, 1777], he marched with his C3mi)anions in arms, several miles, in the vicinity of \'allcy Forge, without shoes or stockings. After leaving the laud service, he em- barked in a privateer on the ocean — was captured, and held as a prisoner at Hali- fax. His after life was spent mostly in trad- ing — for many years he had command of a coaster between Portsmouth and Bos- ton — and when by the just provision of a grateful country pensions were granted to the soldiers of the Hivolntion, he be- came a recipient of that bounty, and was enabled thereby to descend in cjmfort to the grave. Inpol.tical feelings he was strongly AVhig — so much so that when President Polk visited Portsmouth a few years since, he said he declined at first shaking hands with him, because he had no po- litical sympathies with him. In is40, when the great gathering of the Whigs of Xew Hampshire was made at Con- cord, a company of about ;}0(t citizens went from Portsmouth. .Vs au emblem of Commerce, a miniature ship was rigged, and was drawn from our wharves to the political capital of the State. The commander of this vessel, which will be long remembered, was Capt. F'ishley. In is4::i he celebrated his birthday, the 17th of June, in the great meeting on Bunker Hill [held to celebrate the com- pletion of the monument erected in com- memoration of the battle fought there sixty-eight years before]. He was among those few Pevolutionary soldiers who were companions on that occasion. Incorporated in his very existence was the spirit of '7<;— and on all fitting occa- sions it was prominently visible. With him the last of our cocked hats [and the last veteran of the devolution residing here, excepting Mark (ireen and John McClintock] has departed. He was an amialde man, a good citizen, and be- loved by all who knew him. He was buried from St. .John's churcli on Tuesday last— the Portsmouth (ireys doing the last military honors to the old patriot." Portsiiijut/i yoiirnal, y, isii.".."

At the age of fourteen he entered the counting room of Samuel Lord, Esq., merchant, of this city, and in isi: went to sea as supercargo of ship Elizabeth AVilson, in the employment of J.

Without neglecting any private duty, he yielded to frequent calls upon his time and services for the public Aveal, and in everything promotive of the prosperity of his country, state and city, he ever manifested an earnest interest, and every good Avork found in him an earnest friend and helper. He was charitable, but his charities were not bestowed 'to be seen of men.* 29 Very many in this city who have been the recipients of his l)ounty will miss and mourn a sympathetic friend indeed.

Thus died and was buried, sixty-eiffht years after the close of the Revolution, our last resident Continental soldier. of the citizens of Portsmouth who took part in the Revolution. Capt. John McClintock, who served- in a private- armed vessel, alone survived him. "Mr. Samuel S. Green, of Xo. 4!t Dan- iel street, this city, is the son of Mark Wentworth (Jreen, [usually known as Mark Green], who was born in Ports- mouth in the year 17(;2. He [Mark AVentwortli (Jreen] was baptized in Queen's Chapel — now St. John's church — his sponsor being ^Mark Ilunking Wentwortli. The interest of the latter gentleman in his godchild took shape in a proposition to send the young man to England to be educated. Young (ireen was a patriot, however, and declined the generous ofter, and shipped on board a Portsmouth privateer. This vessel was fortunate in capturing three or four prizes, but was in turn captured by three British men-of-war. The youth was sent, a prisoner, to Hali- fax ; but was exchanged not long after,, and sent on a cartel to (iloucester, Mass. Like his shipmates, he was penniless, and together they returned on foot to I'orts- mouth. During the passage from Hali- fax the men were crowded so closely in the hold of the vessel that no change of position was possible except by com- 30 raand, and "Ready — About I" was the order by Avhicli they were permitted to relieve their cramped bodies. Upon reachins home 3lr, (Jreen enlisted in the federal army and served until the end of the war. With his regiment he witnessed the British evacuation of Xew York. Upon tlie disbanding of the patriot army, he, with his comrades from Ports- mouth and Eliot, again toolv the road which led homeward. On arriving at Haverhill they crossed the river on the ice, regardless of danger, so eager were they to reach home and friends. The father of this young man, Mr. John (ireen, was carpenter on the priva- teer 'Rambler' under Paul Jones [See below]. Mr. Samuel S. Green, who counts an experience of seventy years, is justly proud of his patriotic kinsmen, and stands, himself, before his fellow citizens an upright and honorable man, content that in his person his patriotic lineage has suffered no stain." Portsmouth Daily Chrovicle, April 2, i8Sg. John Green, stated above to have served on the "privateer 'Rambler' under Paul Jones," is believed by his grandson, Mr. Samuel S. Green, to have sailed from Portsmouth on the "Hanger. '" Nov., 1, 1777. He was, however, certainly on the I". S.

Wednesday, Septem])er 1, 1S24, and was given a public reception in Franklin Hall, at least thirty soldiers of the Revolution, who had served under him, and many of whom had come from a great distance for the purpose of seeing him, were present. Among those who pressed forward to shake hands with the illustrious visitor was Thomas Harvey. While retaining the General's hand the veteran asked him if he remembered who carried him oil" the field severely wounded at the battle of Hrandywine? "I do," instantly replied the (ieneral-- "It was a New Hampshire soldier named Thomas Harvey, who rendered me that gallant service." "^es, "said the soldier, "Itwas Thomas Harvey, and — with a military salute — I am the man." The (Jeneral recognized his friend of the battle-field, and manifested great pleasure at meeting him again after the lapse of so many eventful years, and greeted him with a cordiality and a 33 warmth of manner highly gratifying to the patriot sollier. A newspaper of the time says: "Our old friend 'i'homas Ilarvoy found it difii- cult to i-estrain himself; the sight of Lafayette recalled all the scenes of the Hevoiution and well nigh overcame liim." Harvey was always very patriotic and could ill brook a Tory, as Avas a citizen of rortsmonth, whose hired man he was for a time. The story is told, that one morninu; lie Avas Avith him at the old Spring Market, Avith his basket, Avhen (fovernor Langdon came in Avith his hired man and basket. y\i\ Harvey's employer said to him — "Why can I not have ray shoes shine like Governor Langdon"s?" The reply Avas — "Because he is a gentleman !" — "And am I not a gentle- man?"— 'i'hc ansAver was — "Xo I" — with a capital N so forcibly given, that a sympathi/inii citizen, standing near, put half a dollar in llarvej's hand. In his later years Harvey was not over- burdened Avith this Avorld's goods, and Avas bent nearly double, but he received a small pension, and Avas always hap-^y and contented, and quick witted also, as the foUoAvlng incident Avill shoAV. The Benevolent Society of the then toAvn of Portsmouth had a committee ap- pointed to visit the poor one hard Avin- ter to ascertain tlieir Avants. Among others Mr. IlarA^ey was visited, and the gentleman apologized for his visit, by saying — "Yon look very com- fortable here, I am a sort of a spy go- ing around" — Harvey interrnpted him ex- citedly by saying, — "I don't like spies, Ave hnng one (Andre) in the .Vrmy, and a handsome man he Avas too I A good deal better looking than you are I" Haselton, Geo.

In vis- iting some patients, his sulkey was ove'r- set, whereby fceveral ribs were fractured, anci a fever ensued, .which terminated his life. Dr. Jackson was born in this town [See above], and received the first rudi- ments ;of his education in the public schools here. He studied the theory of physic and surgery, under the direction of his father, Doctor Clement .lackson. After ceinpleting his studies here, he went to Lnndon, and attendeel lectures in the public hospitals there, to perfect him- se-lf in surgery. I'pon his return to this country, he opened an apothecary's shop, but his practice as a physician soon be- came so extensive, that he was obliged to relinquish in a great measure, his bus- iness as a druggist, and attend almost entirely to his profession. As a physician, he was skilfitl;" as a surgeon, eminent. No operation of im- portance was performed for many miles round, Avitliout consulting him, and sel- dom without his aid. He had great ex- perience in tile small-pox; and many hospitals, which were established for in- oculating with that dis( rd.r, were com- mitted to his care, and he was remarka- bly successful in conducting his patients safely threugh the disease. In the ob- stetric ait he obtained high reputation, and Avas frequently applied to for advice ana assistance in cliflicult cases, by per- sons who did not generally employ him. He frequently performed the operation of couching, and always with success. Harvard College conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Medicine [17'.»:'>j : and he was elected an honorary member of the Massachnsets .Medical Society. He was (irand Master of the Free and Ac- cepted Masons in Xew Hampshire, at the time of his decease.

All who partake of the blessings secured by the enterprise and valor of our revolutionary heroes, cannot but feel an interest in the events of his life. At the commencement of the war of the Revolution, he entered as a volunteer in one of the first regiments in Massa- chusetts, for the term of one year. At the expiration of that engagement, he entered on board a private armed ves- sel — was captured, carried to P^ngland and kept in close confinement at the Mill Prison for two years and a quarter, being encouraged with no other prospect than a still protracted confinement, or a termi- nation of it by being hanged as a rebel. Thence he was sent to France in a car- tel, where on the 2()th April, 177;», he en- tered on 1)oard the "Bon Ilomme Richard,' under the celebrated John Paul Jones, and was with him in some of the most desperate enterprises. In which that com- mander was engaged. From that vessel he was put on board a prize and ordered for France. He was again captured and carried into Hull in the north of I'2ngland, transported to Spithead, put on board the 'Unicorn' frigate and compelled to do duty until at the imminent iiazard of his life he escaped in the Island of Jamaica. Thence he re- turned to America a little before the close of the war. After the peace of '83 he engaged in the merchant service and continued a repu- table shipmaster until near the commence- ment of the late war [18I2-1.">], when he was appointed by government to the command of a Revenue Cutter and con- tinued in the same to the close of the war. After that period, until his death, he was employed as Inspector of the Customs at this port. In all his various services, Capt. Kennard sustained the character of an honest man and a good citizen."

John Langdon was one of the most zealous and worthy patriots of the time, at work in season and out of sea- son, with mind, hands and means, in the cause of lilierty. He was born in Ports- mouth, in 174(1 [See above], and was the son of John, and grandson of Tobias Langdon. He served an apprenticeship as a merchant in the counting-room of the Hon. Daniel Ringe [Piiidge], but pre- ferring a sea-faring life, he Avcnt out as supercargo of one of Hinge's [Pindge's] vessels and subsequently as master or captain. He continued in this business until the Revolution, and had amassed a handsome fortune for the time. The Pritish cruisers stopping entirely his shipping and mercantile operations, and early espousing the patriot cause, he had inclination, lesiure and means to largely subserve the cause of inde- pendence. He Avas one of the leaders In taking l-'ort AVilliam and Mary [now Fort Con- stitution], at Newcastle, in December, 1774, was a Delegate to the general con- gress in 177.">-C«, rai.*ed an independent company of light infantry, with rank of Colonel, in June of the latter year, was judge of the court of common pleas in 177(1, speaker of the House of Represen- tatives in 177(i-7, in which last position, during a session of three days, to devise ways and means to check the haughty P>urgoyne, he rose at his desk and made the noble, genei'ous, apt and effective speech of the Revolution : — 'Gentlemen, I have three thousand dollars in hard money, thirty hogsheads of Tobago rum, worth as much, I can pledge my plate for as much more : those are at the ser- vice of the State. With this money we can raise and provision troops, our friend John Stark will lead them. If we check Pnrgoyne, the State can repay me, and if we do not, the money will be of no use to me.' Raising the funds and Stark on his way to Bennington, Langdon summoned his own company of infantry and fol- lowed to Pennington and Saratoga. Pnr- goyne defeated, he returned home only to labor in the good cause, and early in 177S, as agent of Congress, built the Raleigh frigate. In this year, also, he mounted his company of iufantr)', equipped them as cavalry, and marched to the defense of Phode Island. In 177!i he was President of the Ncav Hampshire Convention, in ]7S() Commis- sioner of the Pnited States, and in 17s:3 Delegate to the Congress of the same. In 17s4-."), he was a member of the Now Hampshire Senate, and in this last year was President of the State, elected as successor of Meshech Weare. In 17s,s he was a member of the Convention that formed the Constitution of t>'e Pnited States, was Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives in June of the same year, and was again elected President of the State. In November of the same year [I7s,s], he was elected to the Pnited States Sen- ate, an1 had the honor of being elected the first President pro tent, of that body, and in 17!i4, he was reelected for another term.

He was elected a delegate to the ( 'ontinental Con- gress in 177."), but resigned in June, i77(;. to become navy agent. In 1777, while he was speaker of the the New Hampshire assembly, when means were wanted to support a regiment, Langdon gave all his money, pledged his plate, and subscribed the proceeds of seventy hogsheads of tobacco [ See above] for the purpose of equipping the brigade witli which Gen. John Stark subsequent- ly defeated the Hessians at Pennington. Langdon participated in this battle, and • 42 was in command of a volanteer company at Saratoga, and in Rhode Island. In 1770 he was Continental agent in New Hampshire, and president of the State convention. He was again a delegate to Congress in 17So, was repeatedly a member of the Legislature and its speaker, and in 17.s7 a delegate to the convention that framed the constitution of the United States. In March, 17s.s, he became Governor of New Hampshire, and in I'sii he was elected r. S.

"Pierse Long (the father of Col. Pierse Long of Pevolutionary memory) was born in Limerick, Ireland, about the com- mencement of the eighteenth century, and served an apprenticeship witli one who did business with .Vmerica; and by him was sent out with goods, the manufac- ture of Ireland, to this town, in the year ITMo." Here he settled, married, and had three children; one son, and two daugh- ters ; the latter died unmarried. "Pierse Long, the senior, died in 1740." "Pierse Long, Jr. (afterwards Col. Long), was born in 17:'«(». He received instruction in the elements of education from the celebrated teacher, Samuel Hale. At the age of fourteen, Pierse was apprenticed as a clerk to Kobert Tiail [Traill], an emigrant from Scot- land, and a distinguished merchant of Portsmouth. At the close of his appren- ticeship, Pierse Long was established in business by jNIr. Trail [Traill], as a shipping merchant, which he continued to prosecute with success until the war of the Revolution. In this Mr. Long took an early and de- cided part, and in l~'i'> was chosen one of the delegates to the first provincial Con- gress, convened at Exeter. In this office he continued for some time, acting also about this period as one of the Commit- tee of Safety for Portsmouth, and was en- gaged with Langdon, Pickering, Drown, and about forty other citizens, in .surpris- ing and capturing the fort at the mouth of Portsmouth liarl)or. Pierse long continued to fill different offices under the then provinci; and town until May, 177C>, when the provincial Leg- islature appointed him to the command of the First Xew Hampshire regiment. . . . This regiment continued in the serviceof the Province until July 1."), 177(;, when, it being determined by the general government to receive into the service no more provincial troops, it was disbanded, but immediately reenlii^ted into the Con- tinental service, under Pierse Long as Colonel and commander. This regiment continued to be stationed at the forts around Portsmouth harbor (a company in Portsmouth being sta- tioned near the ( )ld South) until ( )ctober [November 2:;], 177i>, when it received orders to march to the Canada border, near Lake Champlain [to reinforce the army at Ticonderoga, and marched for that post in February following]. 44 It reached there safely in about twenty days; and reporting for duty to Gen. St. Clair. Col. Long was assigned to the command of Fort Independence, across the Lake, with his own and Col. Carle- ton's regiments ; and at the same time was made Brigadier (ieneral, by brevet. The lake being closed with ice during the latter part of the fall, the winter and part of the spring, nothing of note occurred until about the middle of June, 1777, when the English flotilla of many guns advancing by water, to be joined by (ien. Burgoyne, with ten thousand English, Canadians, Tories, and Indians, by land, it was determined by Gen. .St. Clair, in a council of officers, to abandon his position with his small army of three thousand men, and retreat with the American flotilla up through Lake (ieorge, towards Fort Edward. Col. Long was entrusted with the com- mand of the flotilla, consisting of one schooner of sixteen guns, one of ten, and several smaller crafts, with orders to blow up the vessels to prevent their fall- ing into the hands of the enemy, — which was accomplished after they had disem- barked his own and Col. Carleton's regi- ment at Skenesborough. Leaving Skenesborough, the troops proceeded on towards Saratosa, and the next day (July (i) Col. Long and his command was overtaken by the British ninth legiment, under the command of Col. Hayes. An action ensued, in which the British were beaten, and retreating left the fleld in the possession of the Americans. At about this time, the period for which the troops had enlisted having expired, they all asked and received their dis- charge, officers as well as men, except- ing Edward Evans, chaplain; Noah Emery, paymaster ; and Lieut, or Col. [Lieutenant] Meshacli Bell, and Col. Long's servant. James Mullen. These, with Col. Long, continued on to Saratoga, and there volunteered their services to the commander-in-chief [Gen- eral Gates], and assisted in the capture of General Burgoyne and his army [who surrendered ( )ctober IC, 1777]. ( ol. Long being ill, arrived in Ports- mouth. Dec. <; [1777] ; and continued con- flned to his house for six mouths, with the disorder usual to camps ; nor did he entirely recover till a year had expired. As soon as he had sulliciently recovered his health he resumed his mercantile pur- suits, but at the same time sutt'ered from attacks of tlie gout, and sometimes could not move without the aid of crutches. In 17S4 he was appointed by the State of New Hampshire a delegate to the old Congress, which post he filled through three or four successive years till 17S(i [1784-.")(;]. From the year 1781; to 178i> [17S8-1I— N. H. Manual.] he was elected State Senator or Councillor, and in 17ss was delegate to the Convention to adopt the present Constitution [of the United States], and gave his influence and vote for its reception by New Hampshire. When Washington was chosen Presi- dent, he appointed Col. Long Collector of the Customs at Portsmouth; but before he had taken possession of his office, he was found dead in his bed. He retired in apparent health, but died without any previous warning, of (as it was supposed) gout in the stomach, at the early age of flfty, April o, 17si). His remains are in- terred in the lot in the Proprietors' bury- ing ground, belonging to his son, at the western end of the granite monuments [monument]. Col.

John McClintock was the son of the Rev. Dr. Samuel McClintock of Green- land, X. II . who was Chaplain in the arm}' of the 1\ evolution, and was at the battle of Bunker Hill. The patriotic clergyman may be seen represented in the engraving of the battle, in his ministerial bauds, near tlie spot where Gen. "Warren lies wounded [See beloAv]." "John McCiint ck, who was born on the 2sth of August, 17(11, entered the ser- vice at the age of about IG, in the pri- vate armed ship 'Alexander.' of 20 guns, under Captain Thomas Simpson, who afterwards succeeded Paul Jones in com- mand of the 'Ranger.' At the age of 17. John ]\IcClintock Avas Master's Mate, and Avas entrusted with conducting a prize into the West Indies. lie remained in the service four years, lacking one month — but not being in any public ship he received no pension for revolutionary services." "After the peace, John McClintock en- tered the merchant service, and was be- fore the close of the last century ship- master and owner. He met Avith losses l)y the French Spoliations in 17117, of over .$lu,o()n, for Avhich his government received a remuneration, but none ever reached him — nor did he ever dispose of a dollar of his claims to any one. After leaving the ocean he folloAved mercantile pursuits in this city, and ever manifested a high sense of honor and in- tegrity in his dealings and intercourse — and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all the leading men of his times. He was of a vigorous constitution, and strength- ened it by a temperate and industrious course of life. lender Harrison's administration he Avas appointed XaA'al Officer of this port, and Avhen his term of office expired in -August, 18.")4, President Pierce reneAved his commission." "The world may perhaps be challenged to produce another man Avho performed the daily duties of a responsii)le public office, in the full possession of his fac- ulties, until Avithin five years of a cen- tury in age. But he has noAv gone — and Avilh him departs our last living chronicle of the .\merican ifcvolutlon — the last intelligent tie Avhich bound us Avith those patriots and lieroes Avho acliieved the blessings under which our country has acquired her high position among tlie nations. Yes, the Patriarch of the Revolution, Avlio has so long been left to tell us of the spirit of our fathers — the Man Avho by his noble spirit, his industrious habits, his upright life and stern integrity, has inspired a veneration for the men of a former age, is now no more — and none I can fill his place."'

After the capture, his regiment was ordered South. . . . He was then (although he had not reached 21 years of ase) raised to the rank of Major of the line, over all the older Cap- tains. As he was therefore regarded with jealousy by those lower than him- self in rank, he resigned his commission and returned home. lie w:is induced to take the command of a company of ma- rines which went out in a ship-of-war, the 'Hileigh," and soon after perished in an engagement. Another son of Dr. McClintock was an oflieer at the battle of Trenton and there slain : and a third was lost at sea, serving as a Midshipman, and afterwards as a Lieutenant, in a ship-of- •R'ar." Kev. Mr. ^IcClintoek "was loved and esteemed by his parish, and in the latter part of his life received the Diploma of Doctor of Divinity from Princeton Col- lege where he was educated." "History informs ns that during tlie battle of Bunker Hill'" l?ev. Samuel Mc- Clintock "knelt on the field, with hands upraised, and grey head uncovered; and, while the bullets whistled around him, prayed for the success of the compatriots, and the deliverance of his country. Tliis rare incident prompted the fol- lowing beautiful ode from the pen of Mrs. Lydia H. Sigourney." THE rUAYEK ON BUNKER HILL.

On the day following tlie capture of the fort, aud while the regiment was ly- ing behind shallow breastworks com- posed of two logs, from whicli the rebels had been repulsed by our scanty forces in three successive charges, he was struck by a bullet, which entered tlie body jast back of, and below the risrht arm, making a very bad wound, which was pronounced mortal. Notwithstand- ing his injury his courage never failed him, and he remarked to his comrade. First Sergeant 1?. F. Winn, that he wished for one more shot before leaving the field, he succeeded in loading and firing his rifle, and then made his way to the rear as best he could. His wound was probed for the bullet, but without success, and his condition was pronounc- ed hopeless. A strong constitution and a persistent courage which uotliiug tlaunt- ed, kept him up, however, and he was restored to partial health. Our comrade was a constant suflerer from the edects of the rebel bullet which he carried for twenty-three years, and yet his spirit remained unbroken till the last, and when his brave soul left the poor shrunken body, encumbered with rebel lead, there passed aAvay as brave a soldier as ever wore the blue.

At the commencement of the re- bellion he ottered his services in defence of his country. Though possessing ster- ling ability, he sought no high position, but only that in which he was confident of being most useful. When requested to take a commission, his reply was, -No — I had rather be a good soldier than a poor officer.' When the company of Sharpshooters was forming at Concord, he went on foot to that place from Portsmouth, was ex- amined, accepted, and he returned liome in the same way, to fit up for his depart- ure. After an absence with the army of fourteen months, in which time he was exposed in several engagements, he came home wounded in November [l.s(;2J last. As soon as his health would permit he again joined the army, on the Rappahan- nock, and on the 2d of July [IsDo], at the battle of Gettysburg, was severely wounded in his knee by a minnie ball. After remaining on the ground all night, he was taken up and carried to the hospi- tal, where amputation was performed, while under the influence of chloroform, from the efiects of which he did not revive. His age was ."is [;!!']. His remains will probably reach here in a few days, and the perforniance of the last sad rites will 57 bring feelings of lieartfelt sorrow to our whole commnnity.

IQ August, 1777, ''the 'Raleigh,' a fine twelve-pounder frigate, that had been constructed in New Hampshire, under the law of 1775, was enabled to get to sea for the lirst time. She was command- ed by Captain Thompson, the officer who appears as sixth on the list, and sailed in company with the 'Alfred,' 24, Captain Hinman. These two ships went to sea, short of men, bound to France, where military stores were in waiting to be transported to America. The 'Kaleigh' and 'Alfred' had a good run ott" the coast, and they made several prizes of little value durin£ the flrst few days of their passage. Oq the 2d of September they overtook and captured a s'now, called the 'Nancy,' which had been left by the outward bound Windward Island fleet the previous day. Ascertain- ing from his prisoners the position of the West ludiamen, Captain Thompson made sail in chase. The fleet was under the charge of the 'Camel", 'Druid,' 'Wea- sel,' and 'Grasshopper,' the flrst of which is said to have had an armament of twelve pounders. Th3 following day, or September od. 1777, the 'Raleigh' made the convoy from her mast-heads, and by sunset was near enough to ascertain that there were sixty sail, as well as the posi- tions of the men-of-war. Captain Thompson had got the signals of the fleet from his prize, and he now signalled the 'Alfred," as if belonging to the convoy. After dark he spokehis consort, and di- rected her commander to keep near him, it being his intention to run in among the enemy, and to lay the commodore aboard. At this time, the two American ships were to windward, but nearly astern. In the course of the night tlie wind shifted to the northward, and the convoy hauled by the wind, bringing the Ameri- can ships to leeward. At daylight the wind had freshened, and it became nec- essary to carry more sail than the 'Al- fred' (a tender-sided ship) could bear. Here occurred one of those instances of the unfortunate conseciuences which must always follow the employment of vessels of unequal (lualities in the same squadron, or the employment of officers not trained in the same high school. The -Alfred' would not bear her canvas, and while the 'Kaleigh' fetched handsomely into the fleet, under double-reefed topsails, the former fell to leeward more than a league. Captain Thompson did not dare to short- en sail, lest his character might be sus- pected, and despairing of being supported by the 'Alfred,' he stood boldly in among the British ships alone, and hove-to his ship in order to permit the merchant- men astern to draw more ahead of him. Whi n his plan was laid. Captain Thomp- son fllled away, and stood directly through the convoy, luffing up toAvards the vessel of war that was most to wind- ward. In doing this he spoke several of the merchantmen, giving them orders how to steer, as if belonging him self to the fleet, and repeating all the commodore's signals. Up to this moment the 'Kaleigh' appears to have escaped detection, nor had she any signs of preparation about her, as her guns were housed, and her ports lowered. Havins obtained a weatherly position, the 'Kaleigh' now ran along-side of the vessel-of-war, and when within pistol- shot, she hauled up her courses, run out her guns, set her ensign, and commanded the enemy to strike. So completely was this vessel taken by surprise, that the order threw her into gnat confusion, and even her sails got aback. The 'Kaleigh' seized this favorable moment to pour in a broadside, which was feebly returned. The enemy were soon driven from their guns, and the 'Kaleigh' fired twelve broadsides into the English ship in twenty minutes, scarcely receiving a shot in re- turn. A heavy swell rendered the aim uncertain, but it was evident that the British vessel sufiered severely, and this the more so, as she was of inferior force. A squall had come on, and at first it shut in the two ships engaged. Wh-n it cleared away, the convoy was seen steer- ing in all directions, in the utmost con- fusion, but the vessels of war, with sev- eral heavy well-armed West Indiamen, tacked and hauled up for the 'Kaleigh," leaving no doubt of their intentions to engage. The frigate lay by her adver- sary until the other vessels were so near, that it became absolutely necessary to quit her, and then she i-an to leeward and joined the 'Alfred.' Here she shortened sail, and waited for the enemy to come down, but it being dark, the British com- modore tacked and hauled in among his convoy again. The 'Kaleigh" nnd 'Alfred' kept near this fleet for several days, but no provocation could induce the vessels of war to come out of it, and it was flnal- ly abandoned. The ship engaged by the 'Raleigh," proved to be the 'Druid,' 20, Captain Car- teret. She was much cut up, and the official report of her commander made her loss six killed and twenty-six wound- ed. Of the latter, five died soon after 6^ the action, and among the wounded was her commander. The -Druid* was unable to pursue the voyage, and returned to Knghind. in this aftair. Captain Thompson dis- covered a proper spirit, for he mijrht easily have cut out of the fleet half a dozen merchantmen, but he appears to have acted on the principle that vessels of war should first seek vessels of war. The 'llaleish' had three men killed and wounded in the engairement, but other- wise sustained little injury." Coopi-r's Xiivnl History.

He continued in business as a meichant until 1812, when, in anticipa- tion of a war with Great Britain, he was commissioned a Major in the United Slates service in March of that year. In June following he was appointed to com- mard ihe detachment of troops from New Hampshire ordered to garrison Fort McClary [in Portsmouth harbor], by GoA ernor Plumer. In July he was commissioned as Major of the 11th U. S. Infantry. In September he joint d his regiment at Plattsburg, N. Y. January 1."), 181.3, he was ordered to ^ Portland as superintendent of the re- cruiting district of Elaine.

"In memory of the Hon. Elijah Hall, who died June 22, A. D. l.s;50, aged S4 years. As an OtHcer of the Ranger, under Capt. J. Paul Jones ; a Merchant ; a Representative, Senator and Councillor of this State ; as Xaval Officer ; Member of this Church, and in his other relations, he sustained the character of a Pati"iot and an upright Man." Tiiblet, St. yokn''s Church, Portsmouth. "Died. In this town, on Tuesday last [June 22, 1830], Hon. Elijah Hall, aged s7 [See above]. Capt. Hall was Lieutenant in the Xavy in the J {evolutionary war, sailed under John Paul Jones in the 'Ranger ;' was many years elected Coun- sellor from this district ; and for several years prior to his death was Xaval Officer of the District of Portsmouth. He was, in private life, an estimable citizen, a fair merchant, a tender parent, and an honest man." Portsmouth Journal, June. 26, /Sjo. "Lieut. Elijah Hall," a "brave and meritorious otHcer, . . . served with the ("hevalier .John Paul Jones," . . . and "was a lieutenant under the Chevalier in the 'Ranger.' Lieut, Hall had entered on board this vessel at Portsmouth, X. II., before her departure for France [Nov. i, 1777], and was in her with Jones in his cruise on the coasts of Scotland and Ireland, in the descent on Whitehaven, and in the battle with the 'Drake' [April 2-t, 177s]. When [Lieut]. Simpson behaved so badly as to disobey orders, it Avas Hall that was se- lected to arrest him, and to command the •Drake' in his stead. The prominent traits of Lieut. Hall's character were promptitude and energy; of which he gave a remarkable instance in repairing the 'Drake' in the course of one night, with the assistance of forty men, after. Simpson had pronounced it impossible in her then shattered condition. Lieut. Hall went to Brest with Jones ; and when, through the benevolence of the latter, Simpson was put in command of the 'Ranger' for the purpose of re- turning to America, Hall occupied the post of first lieutenant. After his return to the United States, he was engaged in several expeditions against ihe enemy, on board the same ship, with Commodore Whipple, and was very successful in making captures, most of which arrived safely in port. When the 'America,' 74, was assigned to Jones, he oftered Lieut. Hall a very honorable and efficient station in her; but the gift of that vessel to France frustrated his good intentions. Lieut. Hall eventually proceeded in the 'Ranger,' with other ships of war, to as- sist in tiie defence of Charleston, S. C, where he fell into the hands of the ene- my, in common with the garrison, by capitulation [May 11, 17S()]. He returned to Xew Hampshire, but was not ex- changed until a general surrender of prisoners. He never resigned his com- mission, and was always readj' for aC' tive service. At the close of the war of the Revolu- tion he engaged in commei'cial pursuits, by which he enriched himself; but suf- fered considerably by the British orders in council, and the French Berlin and Milan decrees. Although ofiered a pension by govern- ment, he would not receive it, but accept- 74 ed the appointment of Naval Officer for Portsmouth, a situation which lie still retains [is2.j], at the advanced age of 83 [See above]. With the snow of so many winters upon his head, he discharg- es his duty, it is uaderstood, with the greatest satisfaction to the merchants and others, attbrding proof of an uncom- mon vigor of constitution and strength of intellect. Faithful to his country and true to his duty in every situation, there can be no doubt that a consciousness of probity has ensured for him that intel- lectual tranquillity which is so favorable to human life. As far as the author of this work is informed, Commodore [Richard] Dale and Lieutenant Hall are [were in 1825] the only surviving officers of all those who, at various times, sailed with and fought under the Chevalier John Paul Jones. Time has laid others in the dust ; but seems to have preserved these two venerable men as a sample of the stout hearts and strong frames of the heroes who braved the shores and squad- rons of Great Britain, and plucked laurels in her very ports to deck the brow and promote the glory of infant Amer- ica."

H., in loving memory of her great-grandfather. Rev. Samuel Langdon, D. D." "Dr. Langdon was a noted man of let- ters, and throughout his life was con- nected with and interested in educational matters, and while assistant pastor of the North church he taught the grammar school in Portsmouth up to the date of his departure for Louisburg. Afterward, during his full pastorate, he built the house in which Capt. and Mrs. Harris now reside, on Pleasant street, and oc- cupied it during his pastoral connection with the church. The mansion has been in the possession of the family and oc- cupied by them uninterruptedly since that period. He graduated at Harvard in 1740, with high honors, his conspicuous merit after- ward winning distinguished recognition by his elevation to the presidential chair of his college. In public affairs he nat- urally exercised a profound influence; this was felt in the Constitutional Con- vention of 1788, where, by his voice and example he contributed more perhaps, than any other man to the favorable action of that body."

He was graduated at Harvard in 1740, and while teaching in Portsmouth, N. H., studied theology, and was licensed to preach. In 174.J he was appointed Chap- lain of a regiment, and was present at the capture of Louisburg. On his return he was appointed assist- ant to Rev. James Fitch, of the North Church of Portsmouth, was ordained Pastor in 1747, and continued in that charge till 1774, when he became Presi- dent of Harvard. His ardent patriotism led him to adopt measures that were ob- noxious to the Tory students, and al- though he endeavored to administer the government of the college with justice, his resignation was virtually compelled in 1780. The next year he became pastor of the Congregational church at Hampton Falls, N. H. In 1788 he was a delegate to the New Hampsliire convention that adopted the Constitution of the United States, often led its debates, and did much to remove prejudice against the Constitution. He was distinguished as a scholar and theologian, and exerted a wide influence in his community. The University of Aberdeen gave him the degree of D. D. in 17G2, and he was a member of the 15 American academy of arts and sciences from its foundation.

"Among the venerable citizens of Ports- mouth of half a century ago [18(>'.»], we well remember Capt. Peter Coues, a gentleman of independent circumstances, who might be seen, with his cane under his arm on State street, or in tlie vicinity. His residence previous to the Are of lsi3, was on the southwest corner of Atkinson and State streets [the latter being then named Buck street] , on the spot where W. J. Laighton's house now [isc.'.i] stands. In the old dwelling house was a store where for many years he kept ship chand- lei'y, mei'chandise, groceries, etc. In early life Capt. Peter Coues was pressed into the British service [See below]. He was at one time sailing- master of the famous 'IJoyal George," which was afterwards, in 17S2, sunk in the British Channel [Portsmouth harbor, England] with eight hundred men on board. He also served in the capacity of midshipman. After several years ser- vice in the British Xavy, he returned to Portsmouth before the American Rev- olution, where, by that urbanity of mind and simplicity of manners for which sea- faring men of liberal views are generally distinguished, he obtained a good stand- ing among his fellow citizens, and died on the 29th of November, 18l,s, at the advanced age of eighty-three years [See below]."
