The Death OF EgidgcEy.

The recent and melancholy death of
Captain Randolph Ridgely, has pro-
duced sad feeling throughout the
country. All accounts agree in de-
scribing him as an officer rare merit.
The New Orleans Delta says:
"He sprung from the old Maryland
Line of revolutionary patriots. The
Randolphs Of Virginia, and the Ridge
lys of Maryland, were his honorable
ancestors. In early youth the subject
of this notice was distinguished for
personal daring and intrepidity, 50
much so that his father, Gen. Sterret
Ridgely, who survives him, plainly
discerncd, from the Developments Of
his genius, that the profession Of arms
should be his. lie was educated at
West Point Military Academy, where
his studious habits, rapid progress in
acquiring a knowledge Of his profess
sion, and amiableness Of disposition,
endeared him to the professors and
his fellow students, and gave promise
OF his name being associated with The
shining sons Of the Army on the roll
of fame. The preceptors Of the youth
Ridgely, did not ;niscalculate. What
was then in the womb Of time has
since become history. After leaving
the institution, the Government, re-
posing confidence in his patriotism and
valor, commissioned him lieutenant
in the Artillery service Of tie Army
of the United States. His career as
an accomplished, daring arlilerisl is
we'll known 70 our readers and the
country at large. The blood-staincd
fields Of PaIo Alto, Resaca dc la Pal
ma and Monterey, and the graves OF
the Mcxicans on those grounds, which
will become classic in history, give un
mistaken evidence of bis valor and
skill. At Palo Alto he was the Lieu
tenant in command Of the brave and
lamcntcd Ringgold for whose death a
nation mourns. Upon the fall Of
Ringgold, the Lieutenant assumed the
command Of the corps, and accounts ci
OF his gallan1ry and proves are fresh
in the memory Of all. At Rcsaca dc
Ia Palma, the guns from Ri3gcly's bat
terry carried the swift messengers Of
death TO the ranks Of the enemy; and
at Monterey, tie stone fortrcsses
crumbed and yielded under The rapid
and effective discharges Of his pieces

ping-stone between the offce-seeker or the con-
tract-seeker, and the secretary. Accordingly, the
plans are lald-a tender of hasty plate Of soup
must be made to those gentlemen by the Office
seekers and number OF our respectable mer-
chants and other citizens must be made tools of for
the purpose. The letter ofinvitation is according
" written ,and. hawked round town and signed by
the merchants, as much to get rid ofthe untortu-
nate fellows who go about with it,:as any thing
else After a sufficient number of signatures is
obtained, Mr.. Walker or Mr. Hess receives it,
and declines the soup. The correspondence is
then published in the papers, the politicians ap-
pear cheek by jowl with some of our highest and
most influential merchants, ard the impression
created that they are in the habit of associating
with them. This would impress the Secretary
with the belief that the fellows who are boring
him for contracts or offic 8, are men of influence
in this city-the very object contemplated by
them-and the game is complete.
Such is the manner in which the most of these
dinners are got up and such the objects in view.
IT is really too bad that our government officers
cannot be allowed to come to this city without
being annoyed in this way, by those hungry po-
litcians who care as much for them individual
" as they do to which party they belong, 80 that
they can finger some of the plumber. The mo-
ment public functionary sets his foot here, he
is seized--ad violent hands upon--actually ar
rested, as if he were fugitive from justice, and
were trying to escape the penalty due to his
crimes.
How mortified some Of the really influential
men on these committees would feel, if they but
knew how sweety they have been imposed upon!
