James .Chrystie.

James Chrystie was born in, or near Edin-
burgh, England, in the year 1850 He emigra-
ted to the state of Pennsylvania, in the year
IT'S. In 1776, he offered himself a candidate
for military commission in our revolutionary
army
Such was his modest diffidence, that although
he could have had company, he preferred
first leutenancy, as he considered himself a noyi
tiate in military tactics. In 1777, he was pro-
NOTED to the command of company. This
command he held, with high reputation, until
the end of the war. He was then the oldest cap
tain Except one) in the Pennsylvania line.
On the discovery of Arnolds plot, at West
Point, General Washington sent for Capt. Chrys-
tie, and told him he had selected him for the
speedy performance of very important piece of
service, on horseback You shall have two
lighthorsemen toaccompany you. Capt Chrys-
tie replied 81 shall be ready, and wait upon
your exeeleney in very short time for your
orders,
"Capt Chrystie, you are to receive no scrst-
ten ordersf from me. The business is, that YOU
proceed with all possible expedition to West
Point, and examine particularly the state of
that garrison, in every respect and to visit all
the intermediate posts, for the same purpose
Make this known to no one but the commanding
officer at each post; and you are to enjoin on
them the secrecy of the grave commit nothing

your excellency any further orderS?" interrupted
Capt. Chrystie Yes" replied the General,
one, and very serious one; that is, Captain
Chrystie, that on this occasion, you are not to
let me hear of your being taken prisoner. Do
YOU understand me 2" Perfectly well, SIR"
replied Capt chrystie, "you shall not hear of
that event.
He set out with the two ighthorsemen two
of the horses became unable to go within some
miles of West Point. He took the best of the
three, and proceeded alone, and returned to
head quarters in SO short time, that General
Washington supposed, at first sight, he had
been interrupted in his journey by the enemy.

Capt. Chrystie was perfect military man
He was valiant without pride victorious with
