The Late Laurens Hamilton.

We find the following just and eloquent trib-
ute to the memory of young Hamilton and to
the honored names he bore, in the Norfolk
Southern Argus
There is an ancestral reminiscence suggested
by the name of the grandson of Alexander Ham
ilton, who was recently drowned in James Riv
er, that we do not remember to have seen no.
ticed in the papers of the North or OF the South.
And ut this momunt when SO many misguided
fanatics and ultras exist in those great divis-
ions Of our country, it may not be inappropri-
ate TO recall it TO the general recollection. The
name OF Laurens was dear TO our fathers of the
North aud of the South, and is still fragrant
with that patriotism aud chivalry which the liv-
ing sous of South Carolina may emulate, but
can never surpass John Laurens was the Bay
ard OF the South, and young as he was when he
met his untimely fate on the banks of the Com
bahee. he had already eclipsed the reputation
of his father, whose presidency of Congress and
long confinement in the Tower of London made
him conspicuous among our revolutionary
statesmen.
1t is not our purpose to recount the gallant
achievements of young Laurens in the field, and
his still more heroic conduct ut the Court Of
Louis the Sixteenth; but merely TO allude to
one of the maay incidents in his life which con-
meet him with Alexander Hamilton. Both had
served 10 the Northern army; both were men,
bers of tte FAMILY of Washington, and both
were present at the siege of York, and were
engaged in storming the two British redoubts.
HAM, ton commanded the party which attacked
one of the redoubts, aud La Fayette the other;
but such was the impctuosiiy OF Laurens who
was under the OF drrs OF La Fayette, that be re-
crived with his own hand the sword Of the Brit
ish commander. The co,cmon glory achieved
hy Hamilton and Laureus on Ills occasion. was
likely to attach them more than ever 20 each
other; and il was doubtless in commemorate tiOa
OF this friendship. sealed on Southern ground,
that the SON of Alexander Hamilton called
child by the name of Laureus What imparis
an additional value to this courtesy is the tact
that the youth was born SO many years after
The death his grandfather.
1t is mournfu to think that both Hamilton
and Laurens fell prematnrcly. in the full >igor
| of mauhoOd; one on the banks of the Hudson.
the other on the banks of the Combahcc That

who MT an uutincly end. should have met

not far from the spoi halowcd hy the valor of
the gallant heroes whose blended names he
bore; Invests with the drapery of hereditary
sadness his unfortunate fate. LIT the present

affection which animated tie breasts of those IL

Of the love Of all honest men.
