DIED, on Monday last, Of a bilious
fever, Mr.. JOHN EVANS, Jun. of this
county, in the AID year OF his age.
Few men have passed through the
traasitory scenes OF this life with as
much credit as has the deceased; The
virtues OF him were too widely known
and highly appreciated TO require the
artificial aid OF panegyric. The brazen
bust will moulder, and the fulsome pla,l-
dit will hush and be forgotten; but the
memory of the. deceased, rests upon
that moral monument, on which are
etched the virtues that ennoble & adorn
the species, * which cannot perish but
witt, the plans of Providence. In the
death of this man, society has sustained
a rare bereavement: an amiable wife, a
tender and atiectionatc husband: and
his two children, an indulgent parent
lie was enterprising, generous, fami-
liar, judicious. To his more immediate
acquaintance, he was endeared by much
frankness anda,sflection; and in the
nearer relations of life displayed traits
OF character that were highly concilia~
ting & exesiplary--and although his dis
ease was severe, he bore it with firm
ness and patience, and has left to his
surviving relations, the consolatory re-
collection, that in bidding adieu 10 the
cares of this world, he discovered the
composure and resignation of Chris
tan. His remains were inferred at the
family burying ground, accompanied by
q number of his relatives and iriends.---
for friends he had many

The present typographical warfare in

rUScTUALITY.

WARRINGTON accomplished the most
part of his great works, with apparent
ease, BY a rigid observance of punctu-
atty. 1t is known, that whenever he
assigned TO meet Congress at noon, he
asrer failed TO be passing the door of
the hall while the clock was striking H.
His dining hour was always at 4, when
hr always set down to bis table, only
allowing five minutes for the variation
OF time pieces, whether his guests were
presen, or not. 1t was frequently the
case with nee members of Congress, that
they did not arrive until dinneI was half

quarter after 8, when he was told by
the groom, that the President had been
there at 5, and was then fulfilling other
engagements. Pease was much morti-
fed, and called on Maj. jackson, the
Secretary, TO apologize for his delay,
and to request the President to appoint
some new time ; and, he added, that he
found the Presidents time was wholly
preoccupied for several days, and that
he was compelled to stay week in
Philadelphia, on expense, before the
examination of the horses took place,
merely for delaying the first quarter Of
an hour,

VARIETY.


TIE the Editor Of re .'fforrasg Chronicle.
SIR: In your paper of the lst inst
it is stated from the BridgetowR, y
J. Wing, that Marshal Ney WAS at
American by birth; that he was born
near Elkton, Maryland, and that bis
proper name was Michael Rudolph -
If | am not mistaken, it was SAID about
the time of the execution of the unfor
tunate Marshal, that his counsel had
urged him, when on his trial, to an
nounce his native place, with a view
70 doubt, 20 avert his impending fate;
Rdt that he had refused 10 do SD.
An early and ~ intimate acquaint
ance with Mr. Rudolph. afforded me
the best means of becoming acquaint
rd with his military career; we met
inr the first time on the lines Of the
enemy, upon the banks Of the Norm
River, at the moment of the opening
OF the campaign of l77a He was
Cerporalin Major Got Captain) Lees
peagooHs, was d Lieutenant in the
5.h Maryland Regiment and on the
promonon OF Ire, and tn, formation
Of the legion. Rudolph was raised TO
the rank OF Captain in the inlantry,
and served with distinguished rcputa
ton 70 the end Of the war, when he, IN
common with the other officers. &:
Of the revolutionary army, returned to
the walks of private life. Capt. RI
dolph was. about this time, married to
a lady in South Csroiina, and resided
there, it is believed, until about The pc
Rod of the war of the gallm Wayne,
against the Indians lie was then APP
pointed Major Of Dragons, by Pre-,
dent Washington, to whom his merits
and his faithiu! services were intimate
~ known, The pay and emolumeuts
Of Major being inadequate TO the
support of family, he resigned his
commission and went to the West In
dies on mercantile enterprize, as sta
ted in the Wing. The word "dischar
ged'' in the statement referred to, be-
ing the same phraseology made use OF
in reference to private soldiers, might
induce belief that Mr.. Rudolph had
been in the ranks, and had not been
promoted during the war, although he
was actually Captain five campaigns
If, indeed. he had been in the ranks, it
would have been impossible that bis
merits could have long escaped the pc
netrating eye of the Comnandant of
the Legion-promotion would lave
been the immediate consequence. Mr..
RudoIph's patriotism, his intrepidity
and gaslantry, could not fail to procure
for him the confidence of the army.
Formed of such materials, and catch
ing the spirit Of the French revolution,
such as at acdS an ats cdr,ic&t stages.
passionately fond of military fame, it
j, net at all improbable that this gen
tiemtn might have gone to France, in
pursuit of a faverite profession. | had
a letter from him Ohe last) not long be,
fore he left the United States. The
name of Michael Rudolph having been
brought before the world, | consider it
due to his memory, to along & uninter-
rupted friendship, formed too at time
of great trial, to state the above facts,
in addition to what has been said in
the "Whig" 1t may be well said of
him, that he was among the bravest OF
the brave.

Mr.. Canning, late minister to thc

dollars to be divided between two OF the
public institutions in New York. The
donation bespeaks liberal disposition !;
but the New-York editors have gone
further than could be wished, in styling
It muR;feeat act, and relating that he
requested silence concerning it uatot AZ
ter his departure. The motive Of this
request may have been his apprehen-
si,'n Of the graadiloquence which would
be employed in celebrating it in the
newspapers. We could wish that such
institutions as the Apprentlces'&theMer

the contribution might be returned with
