The Endorsement of Over Dse Notes.
It appear* that until very recently, the law
ipplicable to eo familiar a subject — U-»
. , jl u the en
dorsement of an over doe note, baa been alto-
gejber unsettled, in the State of Peonavlrania.
The. view generally entertained, was that the
endoner of an over doe note waa an abaolote
proipiaer, and that bis engagement was not con
ditiooal. like-that of an endorser before maturi
ty... .The idea seemed, therefore, to he enter.

June 21,1775.
Dead Sir : I received yoor favor of May 29th
by Mei8rt. Halls. 1 tta* much concerned that
1 had it not in my pfwer to treat those young
gentlemen with aa much respect as their cbarac
ten and your recommendation entitled them to
W|g| your letter was delivered me, which was
banfew days ago, we were in the utmost hur
ry, packing up the library and apparatus for
their removal to a distance In the ibuntry for
safety, in consequence of an order of the Pro
vincial Congress, .which was sent us that day—
so that the young gentlemen could only take a
transient view of things as they lay in confusion.
It was then universally expected that there
would be an actionin a day or two, which hap
pened accordingly. The night following, a body
of our men were sent to throw up an entrench.
me.nl on a bill in Charlestown. As soon as the
daylight appeared they were discovered and
fired upon from the men-of war, and battery on
Copp’8 Hill That day, 17th inst., exhibited a
most shocking spectacle.
About 2 o’clock in the afternoon a large body
of regulars were carried over to Charlestown
anti at 4 o’clock in the afternoon the tnen-of-
war’s boats set fire to the town in different pla
ces, which in a few hours was burned to the
ground. When it was all in flames they attack
ed our intrenchment, which waa very imperfect,
being only the work of a few hours; but they
were vigorously opposed, and a hot engage
ment ensued, which lasted above an hour, it
which numbers fell. When our soldiers had
fired away almost all their cartridges, and the
regulars were entering the entrenchment with
their bayonets charged, and an incessant fire of
artillery kept on them on all sides from the men-
of war and the floating batteries, our people re
treated and left them in possession of the hill.
This advantage they probably purchased dear,
though what'their loss was, we may never know
exactly. *Tis affirmed their dead were seen
lying in heaps on- the ground. Our loss was
considerable; but, being now above twenty
miles from the scene of action, 1 cannot give
you any particular information about it. We
lost some very good officers, but none is more
universally lamented than our friend Dr. War
ren, who had been appointed a Major General
but a day or two before. I own 1 was sorry
when l heard of this appointment, because 1
thought a man so much better qualified to act
in other capacities than most are, ought not to
he exposed in this way; unless in case of neces
sity. But his zeal hurried him on, and he was
killed in the intrenchment soon after he got
there.
We are now involved ift all the hoVrcYs of
war, and are every moment expecting (o hear
of another action. Is it not neces ary. Sir, that
our army should he effectually supported, in or
der to bring this cruel war to a speedy and for
tunate issue ? Especially as there is no imme
diate prospect of war in any other *part of
America, and a vigorous support here may pro
bably prevent its spreading to the other colonies.
1 am surprised to find you have so little intel
ligence from hence. 1 thought there had been
a constant intercourse kept up between the
Provincial and Continental Congress. 1 ffien
tioned this hint of yours to Dr. Warren, the
evening before that fatal day ; he promised that
he would write and put his friends on writing.
But, alas! 9
lily respectful compliments to all friends, par
ticularly to Col. Hancock and Dr. Franklin. I
wrote to the Doctor soon after his arrival, but
know not whether he has recewed my letter. I
want much to write to some friends in England,
but there is r.u conveyance this way. If Dr.
Franklin should be aide, with safety, to keej;
up bis correspondence with England, perhaps
he might be willing to send toy letters with his.
If I could know this, 1 would send them by the
way of Philadelphia. But I own I aru in great
deubt whether it will be prudent or practicable.
God Almighty bless your counsels, ami ren
der them effectual for the preservation of Ameri
ca. Your faithful friend and humble servant.
June 22.—Since writing the above, 1 have
received two accounts from different bands of
the loss on each side. 1 send them as I bad
them. I have been also'told that the Regulars
acknowledge 428 killed.
Boston almost deserted by the inhabitants—
Charlestown burnt down—Cambridge, Medford,
Salem, Danvers and Marblehead almost desert
ed. *Tis impossible at your distance to con
ceive of the distress.”
Tbis battle brought matters to a crisis. Af
ter the conflict pf Lexington and Concord, re
conciliation with the mother country continued
in some quarters to be urged; but this event,
the burning of Charlestown and the severity of
the engagement, settled the question that there
should be open war. And when the sun of the
maker, and to charge him, demand and notice
laflnence of Commerce upon
Moral Nature.
One benefit of Commerce is its influence upon
the intellects sod the hearts of men. It eve# tm»U
to stir the minds of a community, sod' produce ac
tivity in business, and at the same timefostasi* *
disseminates Christianity. The first ia pro

and religion. Whatever increases mental ‘1
or purifies aud elevates the affections of 0'
P6 notch ’gain' to the community. The 1
liglon, cleariy allows that they have h
ed and promoted by commerce. Since t
that Paul went to Rome, in the merchant
laden with wheat, wherever Commerce- lap
spread her sailft, religion has lifted her banner.
The mlssionarier of our country have gone to
their respective fields of labor in mercbsnt shlpa.
So in all ages, Commerce has been the band

The Treaaorv Circular which we publish to-day
lias much interest for the merchants of Charleston,
At th6 commencement of Gen. Taylor’s adminis
tration, Mr. Meredith, in strict conformity with
law as well as with the plain interests of commerce,
issued his order to remit the onerous tax 00 Span
ish vessels coming to the United Ststed by the,way o
Cuba What could have induced his successor
in the Treasury Department, to revoke this order,
and restore the almost prohibitory duty, it is difficult
to comprehend,—unless it was io accordance w ith
the perverse doctrine of protection, that a nation ia
made richer by vexing ancl impoverishing its com
merce. At any rate such notions find no favor with
the present Administration, and as soon as Secretai
ry Guthrie’s attention was. called to the subject,
he proceeded with his characteristic energy and dr
reetness, to determine, the right of the matter, and
the result is the restoration of Mr. Meredith’s 01^
der. We are not only gratified at the decision of
the Secretary, so accordant with the principles of
free trade, but with activity he has displayed in set
tling the question,—thus afibrding the best augury
of his efficient management ofthe great Department
an which the successful administration of the Gov *
