Official Duties.

Il sd 0-Hal 81 49, HN E-I
Delinquencies in the discharge Of official
are SO frequent that they begin to attract
little or no public attention. Apablic servant,
Immediately, when secure in Office, begins to
look upon himself as entrusted with the de.-
TIMES Of q party instead of being narrowly
bound to discharge with energy and indie
fatigable industry the common and everyday
duties of his Office. Our offce-holders become
at once politiciaps-strive to be leaders, and
seek, for some opportunity to lay their party
under obligations to elevate them still higher,
to more lucrative positions, instead of laboring
for the public good.
The example which we have particularly in
point at the present moment, is the non,
attendance Of the Attorney General and Dj
trict Attorney upon the present sessions of tE
grand jury. The one, it is said, has not
peared before that body, though sent for by
jury /; and the other, during a session O,
month, has entered the Grand Jury room bur
two or three times.
1t is unnecessary to enlarge on these cases
they illustrate the point we propose to bring
before the public eye. The execution Of the
laws depend upon the vigilance and faithfulness
of those clothed in the robes Of office. If they
wink at wrong, or neglect to administer Justice,
disorder must prevail and vice flourish with
immunity. [Creole.

An Incident OF the Revolution,

The want Of provisions in the camp of Bur-
goyne, just previous to his capture by the
Americans, began to be severely felt: the
Americans had seized their last supply all
resort to the country lying round, where tory
friends were to be found, was totally cut off
The prosecuting Americans had fenced them in
as with q wall OF vengeance, which could not
be passed famine had commenced its unnerving
power. sickness was multiplied among the
soldlery, fever, attended with its deliriums,
raved from couch to couch. Water, water
was the incessant cry. And, although the
hudson on one side of the camp poured along
its silent waters, and the rapid stream of Fish
Greek roared sweetly in the ears of the sick
and responding forces, yet it was impossible TO
snatch a drop from those dreadfully guarded
waters; a hundred bullets were sure to pierce
whoever made the attempt, soon as they
stopped to touch the silver current. But such
were the cries for water by the sick and dying,
that their women, moved by pity, were made
superior to the dreadful crisis, (imagining that
the Americans would not from feelings Of
gailantry shoot a female,) snatched hastily their
pals, and ran to the shores to try what the
event might be. Their opinion of the enemy.
as it proved, with respect to their persons, was
correctly formed, but their pals were doomed to
a harder fate, for while they could not find it
in their hearts to spill the blood of defenceless
females, they were sure to riddle their pals as
they hung from their hands, so that little or no
water could be procured.
