source, was nereffiiated to r<
lore to arms, and to try, *’ in
ne unprofitable conrefi of war,
which could do the other thr

’iwife troubles, during this na~
onal dilpute, and durmg the
subsequent eight years war, that
r hofc celebrated characlvrs, of
whom America wjil ever justly
■oallj made themselves conspi

were, who served thnr country
honorably in civil capacities ,
others, who led h'*r armie:
Uiiough the toils and dar gers o’
war to victory and glory. A

holds an eminent station.
Although Gen. Gatls was born
n England; had served as u
Major it/ (everal expeditions un
ier generals Monckton, Corn
vallis, and Braddock ; and had
a quired no inconfiJerable hon
>r a:, a brave young officer; yet,
oiwithftanding ihefe circum

lie removed to Virginia, and
there enjoyed all the plealuret
which accompany rr-tirenirnt, a

thread of our narration.
Sensible of the z-a! of Gen.
Gates in the caufc of liberty, &
convinced of his great military
alents, Congress, loon after the
commencement of tlie revelu
ion, give him the cornmifilon
>f a Major-General, accompan
ied with the command ot the
northern airry. Carnroandirv;
this army, compofcd of raw and
undisciplined militia, unfkilied
in the art of war, unused to feat
o’ arms, unexperienced in the
bro Is cf battle, he obtained vie -
ories, ar.d performed aft ons of
which have proved highly bene
ficial to his country, and have
crowned iiis name with immor
tality. I* would be a tedious,
and indeed an unnecetfary talk,
to deferibe minutely every par
ti idar fkirmilh in wh ch he wa?
engaged, or to m< ntion every
trivial advantage which he gain
ed over the enemy. This is not
a talk incumbent to his euloL'fT •
but is a duty more proper for the
hiftoriatl. I (hall therefore, refer

plci s, and make such remarks
