. The Chauacteb op Foiip.KST.-The per
son of Forrest is commanding, graceful,
and filly proportion!; 1; his stature six
feet, his chest broad and full, his limbs
long and somewhat slender, but well
shaped and musculur. Ilis features are
rogu’ar and symmetrical, his eyes are of
a light blue color, and his whole ccun.
teuance, iu its quiet state, is grave, pla
cid aud benignant. When alone, or not
engaged in conversation, he appears sec
date and thoughtful; but when his atten
tion is. excited, his eyes kindle quickly
aud bis face beams with animation and
intelligence. He is not fluent in speech,
but. what ho says is apposite, and ealeu
lated to inspire with interest as being
known to come from the heart. He sel
dom attempts sallies of wit or hnmor,
but no man receives more pleasure from
an exhibition of them by others; and,
although contented in seclusion, ha seeks
his ehief happiness in the society of his
friends, and participates with delight in
all national aud innocent amusements.
Without austerity on the one hand, or an
appearance cf condescending familiarity
on the other, ho is afFable, courteous and
cheerful; but it has been remarked that
there is a dignity in his manner and per.
son not easy to be defined, which im
presses every one who sees him for the
first time with au iDS-inetivo deference
and awe.
This*may have arisen, in part, from a
conviction of his superiority, os well as
from the effect produced by iris externa!
form and deportment. His ambition is
of that noble kind which aims to excel
in whatever ho undertakes, and to ac
quire a power over the hearts of xaen by
promoting their happiness and winning
their affections. Sensitive te the appro,
bation of others, and solicitous to de
serve it, he makes no concession to gain
their applause, cither by flattering their
vanity oryieldingto their caprices. Cau
tious without timidity, bold without rash-
DOBS, cool in council, deliberate but firm
inaction, clear in foresight, patient un
der reverses, steady, persevering, and
Belf-possessed, ho conquers every obsia
ole that obstructs his path to honor, re
nown and success. Forrest is a Christian
in faith and in practice ; he is habitual
ly devout. His reverence for religion is
soenin his example, his public commu
nications, and his private writings, lie
is charitable and humane, liberal to the
poor, and kind to those in distress. As
a husband, father, son and brother, he is
kind and affectionate. Such are some of
the traits in ihe character of Forrest,
which have acquired for him the love and
veneration of mankind.— Republic.
Ths Bogus Senators. —Tho Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnali
Commercial ridicules the idea of recog
nizing the reconstructed ‘Governments’
of Louisiana and Virginia. He says:
Any person who has had an opportu
nity to be informed on the subject, will
iell you that the Legislature of Louisi
ana is composed of a class of men who in
years gone by, would not have dared to
present themselves as candidates for any
office in the gift of any people. And
will any body claim that Michael Ilahn
would ever have been chosen by a fairly
elected Legislature, to fill <he seat that
Pierre Soule used to occupy? Y r et this
General Assembly has declared that
Michael shall be a United States Senator
for six years, from the 4th es March
next.
In Arkansas they have enacted a
similar farce of “electing” Senators,
and in “Old Virginia,” or so much
thereof as is loyal, (which means the
town of Alexandria) they have as Senator
for six years a man who five yoars ago,
could have not beon elected constable in
any county in the State. *
If i3 all nonsense to talk of a civil Gov
ernor of Louisiana, when his edicts can
not be promulgated five miles beyond
the city limits of New Orleans, and even
within that circumscribed limit be must
be a wheel within a wheel—subordinate
in every respect to whomsoever the
military authorities may choose to select
as Governor.
Touching Incident. —Last summer,
Sheridan burned all the dwellings, mills
and barns, within a radius of five miles
in Augusta county, Viginia, because one
of his officers had been shot and killed in
the neighborhood.. He charged that a
citizon had killed the officer and being
unable to discover the slayer, determined
to wreak his vengeance upon every one
around. It artevwards turned out that a
Confederate soldier did the deed in the
course of legitimate warfare.
Whilst carrying out Sheridan’s cruel
order, a Yankee officer rode up to a
house, inhabited by a couple of old peo
ple who like John Anderson and his wife,
had “climbed the hill of life together,”
and soon would “sleep at the foot.”
The aged pair came out of the house,
hand inhand, when the torch wasappUed
and stood mournfully looking at the
flames as they shot up to the roof.
“Your house is dry, sir, and makos a
fine fire,” saidthe Yaukectothe oldman,
whose benrd and hair were while as
enow- „ . T v ~ ,
“Y'ee, it makes a fine fire 1 I have, lived
here many, very many years, and it
makes mv heart ache to sae it devoured
by the flames. You have destroyed all 1
ooes-ss ; but thank God, tho Confederate
Government pays rations yet 1
A few days afterwards the old man was
seen marching through the Valley of the
Shenandoah with Early, musket in hand
and drawing Confederate rations. No
doubt he thought of his burning house
whenever he pulled a trigger.—-la.

SEPARATISTS ALWAYS BUCCF6SriIL.
Sir, cast your eye over the examples
of history, and you wii> find uniformly
wavs for Independence and separation of
geographical parts successful upon the
side of the separationists. When tue
affections of latge masses of the people
iu such geographical divisions become
alienated from each other, and such
alienation is succtcled by feelings of re
lentless hostility, it lies always been
found impossible to hold them in com
utoa bonds. J.’juk at. the separation of
Portugal from Spain, of Holland from
Spain, subsequently of Holland from
Belgium, of the United S atesfrora Kng
hi.net, of Mexico from Spaiu, South Amer
ica from Spaiu, Sr.. Domingo trout
France, of Texas front .Mexico, Greece
from Turkey, and numerous other
instances ; in every one of which the cry
for separation upon one side was au
swered by armed coercion aud subjuga
tion on the other, iu all cf them tho
odds as to wealth, powi;r, auel numbers
were ts great io favor of the coercion
par*y as t hey are ia the present instance.
Yet in each case, 1 repeat, the coercion
policy failed, ending only in ignominy
and defeat, as it must ever do under the
providence of God, because it is iu dero
gation of his laws.
B.YBBAKUT 01’ THE WAlt.
Tho Anglo-Saxon race claims for itself
the highest stand point iu the pinnacle
of civilization and refinement and the
American type acknowledges no superior.
How near do we come to the standard of
perfection set up by ourselves? We are
now in the midst of a sectional war, over,
shadowing In ita enormities any civil -or 1
sectional wsr ; thatlbas preceded if, Tho
cry of onr pmpiisand churches, with ?,
few highly creditable exeeptione, instead
of “peace qn earth and good will to
man,” has been for blood! Desolated
homestada and impoverished communities
attes. our cap asity for self-destruction,
and dispatches like tho following from a
general in the field to the President cf
the United are received with joy and
exultation by those who claim to bo the
followers of the Prince of Peace.
“I have destroyed over two thousand
barns filled with wheat and hay and
farming instruments over seventy fftills
filled with iiour and wheat; all the
houses within an area of five miles were
burned.” ?-
Buch is the boasting of the Federal
officer iu the field ; bat while the war
party rejoice al this indiscriminate con.
llagratiou of the homes and property of
agotj infirmity and helpless innocence,
the cry of the widow and the fatherless
asoenua to uou for that vengeuco which,
sooner or later, is visited ou all iniquity.
Well may the despots of Europe hold
us up aB a warning to the'.r unquiet sub
jects.
In a previous address which I had the
Uojia* to tn.ikr iirou 'bis 6,, e - I .rptowj
cd nty beiuf that the only issue before
us was either recognition of the separato
independence of lire seceded .States, or
ther complete extermination of the peo
pie who inhabited them—extermination
in its broadest and cimplelost sense.
The issue is independence or extermins"
lion, and I am sorry to say that a very
large portion of what presumptuously
arrogates to itself the morality and re
ligion of the country, not oaly professes
itself willing to favor extei ruination, but
loudly and emphatically demands it.
Yes, Mr. Chairman, ii is with unuttera
ble shame and humiliation that I con
fess it; they do demand the extermina
tion oi eight million Christian men and
women ; men and women who for three
quarters of a century were united with
them in the bonds of church fellowship,
who knelt at the same altar, gathered
around the same communion table, and
worohipped the same God; men and
women of the same race and lineage,
speaking tho same language, reared uu.
der the same institu ions, and unite! to'
them by the strongest ties; whose ances
tors, hand in hand with our ancestors,
purchase! our and their liberties with
common blood.
It. is this race and this people that
they now propose to exterminate from
the fees of the earth, as ifihcywere
beaßts of the field or reptiles of the plain.
And for what, Mr. Chairman ? X em
phatically repeat, for what is this sen
tence of untquaied atrocity decreed?
Simply because they have chosen to run
a race of political existence separate and
apart from us, leaving us all our lights
and privileges, and only claiming the
same rights which their and our ances
tors asserted in tho declaration of inde
pendence. For that a doom has been
pronounced upon them which humanity
recoihd from even in the case of the
Mormons, and the still stronger example
against the bloody and ferocious savages
or the desirt. Alas! -how degenerate is
such Christianity—how unutterably cru
el and enormous the spirit in which it is
conceived.
Standing here in my place, and with
all the responsibility of my positions, 1
should consider myself unworthy of seif
respect, aadfa’seand recreant to tho
injunctions of civilization, if 1 did not
say that from the noisome pool of total
depravity there never issued a spirit so
awfully and irredeemably wicked. Ex
termination for such a cause—l was al
most tempted to say for any cause—is an
expression that is not only disgraceful
to an American citizen, but it would have
been a stigma and a Bbame in the days
of Alaric, Attiiaand Saladia. Not only
would Christianity shrink from it in un
utterablo horror, but even Mohammeden
ism and Paganism would blush to own
its paternity. If this is the net result of
our Sabbath school teaching and rcli
gious instruction for two hundred years
fa these United States, we might as well
confess that the light of the Gospel has
not yet reached our shores, and we snail
have to waiCuntil Pagan but converted
Chriatian India kbnds her missionaries
from the banks of the G&nges and from
Hindustan to convert us, as proud and
imperial but pagan Rome received the
cross fronr tho barbarians of Northern
Europe. It is no wonder that this cry
for extermination is regarded with min
gled horror and amaz-ment in Europe
judging us hyeuch an idea, they rog.tr*.
us cither as a La'.iou ot lunatics or har
dened criminals.
Happily, Mr. Chairman, it is impossi
ble. The providence of God never has
and never will allow such an act.of fero
cious vengeance.

A lisHtiu hurt Sumter.
“Carletou” writes tn the Boslon Jour
nal as follows:
After a ramble of t-everal hours
through tho city of Charleston, we made
a visit to Sumter, entering by the sally
port where Major Anderson entered on
that ever-to lio remembered January
night of ISGI. Tho fort, bears little re
semblance to its appearance then, exter
nally or internally. No portion of the
original lace of the wall is to be seen,
except on the side toward Charleston and
a portion of that facing Moultrio. From
tho harbor aud from Waguer it appears
only a tumult—the debris of an old ruin.
Ail the casemates, arches, pillars and
parapots are lorn up, rent asunder and
utterly demolished. The great 'gnus
which two yeara ago kept tho monitors
at buy, which Qanied aud thundeved
awhile upon Wagr.cr, are dismounted,
broken, overturned, and lie buried be
ueath the mountain of brick, dust, con
crete, sand and;mortar. After Adm’l
Dupont’s attack in April, 18lifi, a rein
foreemeni of palmetto logs was made ou
the harbor side aud ngaiust half of tbe
wail facing Moultrie. The lowor tier of
catcmates was filled up with sand bags,
but when Ueu. Cilltuore obtained posses
sion his fire began to crumble the para
pet. The rebels endeavored to roeon
struct the wall, or to maintain its origin
al height, by gabions filled with sand,
but this compelled a widening of the
base inside. Thousands of bsgs titlel
with.sand were brought, to the fort. at.
night. Bomb proofs were constructed.
Day sfier day, week after week, the
poundtitg from Waguer was maintained
so effectually aud thoroughly that it was
impossible to keep a gun in position ou
that side.
The only guns now remaining are live
or six on the Moultrio side, iuihe middle I
tier of casemates. Five howitzers were
kept on the walls to repel an attack by '
I small boats, the garrison keeping under
1 cover or Bceking cover whenever the
I lookout, cried “a shot.”
Ohevinis defriar- ofpointed slicks pro
tect the fort from a scaling party. At the
base outside are iron posts and wira net
work. There is also a submerged net
work of wiro and chains, kept in place
by floating buoys.
1 had the curiosity to make au inspec
tion of the wall facing Moultrie to see
what was the effect of the fi re of the iron
clads in Dupont’s attack. With my glass
at that time I could ege that the wall was
badly honeycombed ; a close inspection
shows that it was a very damaging fire.
There are seams in the masonry aud
great gashes whero tho solid holts crum
bled the bricks to fine dust. It is evi
dent that if the fire could have been con
tinued any considerable length of. time
there that the wall would have fallen.
The effect af that fire ietl to the filling up
of the lowest casemates.
For lour long ytairi tlio camion of Sumter have

Commercial Transactions. -For some
days past panics in this oily have been
sending large quantities of manufactured
tobacco hence to Fredericksburg. Re
port said that this tobacco was to be tra
ded with tho Yankees for bacon, and
that Gan. Singleton was the prime mover
in the arrangement, this being the busi
ness that brought him again to Rich
mond. It was transported on Hamilton’s
crossing by rai’, and thence hauled to
Fredericksburg, five miles distant, in
wagons. The Yankees wore expected to
come up in vessels to Fredericksburg,
bring bacon and carry on the
Oa Monday last, 200,000 pounds of to
bacco had been sent up ihe Fredericks
burg railroad, 40,000 pounds of which
had been hauled to Fredericksburg and
stored in a warehouse on the Rappahan -
nock, convenient for shippirg, and the
other I(3o,ooo .pounds was in thirty cue
box railroad curs at Hamilton’s crossing.
The enemy came up to Fredericksburg
in gunboats ou Monday night, but. had
brought no bacuu that we have been able
to hear of. Their first slep was to send
a party of cavalry to Hamilton’s cross
ing, who sec lire to and destroyed all the
cars and all the tobacco there. This par
ly also burnt the bridge over the Massa
ponax creek, a short, distance this side
of Hamilton’s crossing
There are two reports as to what was
done with the tobacco in Fredericksburg
one, that the enemy carried it off; the
other, that they set fire to tho warehouse
and destroyed both house and tobacco.
It is asce.-tsincd that they burned the
wagous (five in number) employed in
hauling the tobacco from Hamilton’s to
Freder.cksburg and carried off the teams.
So ends one of the most brilliant schemes
of our latter day speculators. Tho only
thing to be seriously regretted about (he
business is the loss by tho Fredericks
burg railroad company of the thirty val
uable freight cars. Wo presume the com
pany would r ot have risked its property
by leaving it at so exposed a point as
Hamilton’s crossing unless they had felt
satisfied that some understanding had
been come to with the enemy that it
would not be molested.
The common repoit was, that the ene
my would interfere neither with the road
nor the tobacco while the traffic was go
ing on. 'i he whole thing seemed ridicti
ious enough it must be admitted ; but
there Can, at the present time, be nore
port so absurd as not to find believers.
There is much more cf the article still
left in Richmond than either Govern
ment or people know what to do with.—

English Crkditobs. — The London
“Times” publishes a lengthy opinion of
Wm. M. Evart, cf Now Yotk, on the pow
er of English creditors to recover debts
in Federal courts ou a specie basis. The
The opinion winds up as follows :
“Foreign transactions are necessarily
made and expressed in foreign Curren
cies; to permit their discharge by an
equivalent in American currency would
be introducing a monstrous inequality '0
to the prejudice of foreiga creditor?,
which might justly give ofience: indeed
our courts would thus be practically
closed against the enforcement ot foreign
debts, and of consequent commercial
credit, without which foreign commerce
cannot be carried on and will fail.”
A hundred black wainut coffins recent*

been shipped from Boston at first to the

The Characteristics or President Da
vis Calmly Discussed by a Missis
sippi Senator.
The following letter, not designed for
publication, has bean the subject of mis
conception and comment. We publish
only suoh portions of it as refer to public
affairs, it will be remembered that Mr.
Orr referred to it in confirmation of his
purposes and suggestions to the Legis
lature:
Senate Chamber, Felt 111, 18(15— Maj.
G. D. Moore: My Dear Sir—Col. Orr
starts to Mississippi this eveniug, and 1
avail myself of this opportunity to lot
you hear from mo. 1 have been uuweil,
but am nowiu good health. Our pros
pects tire not. now as promising as we
could desire. My hope, howevrer, and
belief is, that Mistssippi will stand firm.
Alt is not yet lost ; and if the people will
do their whole duty, our independence
will be achieved.
My inforinatin from all quarters is that
the desire is universal with citizens and
soldiers that Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
should be rostrored to the command of
the army of Tennessee. Congress has
exprbssed its opinion on this subject by
joint, or rather concurrent resolutions ;
but to no put pose Tho President has
been exceed, ugly civil and personally
kind to me; but 1 do regard him aB too
little disposed to defer to public opin
ion. lie scarcely ever consults a mem
ber cf either Houbo about, public af
fairs; but honest, aud self-reliant, in ig.
noranoe or disregard ot the universal
ouvictious of the country, he often does
that which was pernicious, aud whioh I
think he would net do if he had a prop
er regard for public sentiment.
Mr. Hunter, Seuator from this State,
says that, though ho was a political op-
I ponent of Millard Fillmore, when he
was President of the United States, he
was more consulted by him, and belter
acquainted with his plans and views,
than he ever has been by Mr. lUvis.
On the part of Cong teas, there is now
a strong feeling against .Mr. Benjamin as
amemberoftbc Cabinet. It. it. believed,
however, that no influence of this eort
will lead to auy change.
If the Legislature of Mississippi, soon
to assemble, were to adopt a seiies of
temperate andoourteous resolutions, in
dicating to the President that a groater
sympathy than exists between tho execu*
five department of the Government and
the people, or public sentiment, might
be desirable ; that Gen Johnston should
be restored to command, or that his ro
utoration would, in its opinion, be a
wise measure; and that a change iu the
State department of the Government
would bo hailed with approbation and
pleasure by the country—some good
might come of it. 1 should bo sorry to
sec anything douo calculu'cd to injuic or
weaken the I‘ressident? but suggestions
can be made to him of a friendiy opinion
about, public mmsuren, exprewed vriths
out the purpose of result, of lijury to
tho President.
1 do hope lliut the L g'alaluio will tq»u.»k out on

Was it Prophetic ? — A Mississippi
paper extracts the following from the
Richmond Whig ot 1832 :
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.
Uoeunr.AND, March 23, 1832.—Gentle
men: The following singular, perhaps
unparalleled occurrence, may be inter
esting to Homo of your readers: Ou the
second day of this month, a negro boy
belonging to Mr. Cragwell, of this coun
ty, while at work, was suddenly startled
by a noise in tho air rciombling thunder.
Upon looking up to discovor whence it
proceeded, he saw two birds at an im
mense height in the air engaged in ades
perate combat, the rustling of whose
wings occasioned the noiße which had
so much alarmed honest Pompey. They
began gradually to descend, until they
actually foil upon the ground within a
few steps of him, and he had leisure to
observe that their talons were interlock
ed so close, ns to render thoir separation
almost impossible. From the great des
peration with which they fought and ihe
little regard which they paid to bis pres
ence, he concluded it not so safe to dij
iurl) them, aid >ic' irdiugly permitted
them to lie Hgifti to » .hurt distance,
and (in the winds of the In vorife humor
iat,) “continue he fight iu peace 1” They
soon fell ttg 1 ”-, huwevtr, and he soon
discovered that they had shifted their
hoid, and lb: h - alou or 'ho one was
fixed on ihe ihigli of ihe other, and vice
versa, Ihe olbee talcim remaining as bo-’
fore. Cuffuej-now assuming uuie bold
ness, approachci, threw him-elf on them,
and afier a despeia'e siruegle, t ueceed
ed in twisting the necks if ihesc invete
rate foes. Being iguoiaut of their spe
cies, lie carried them to bis master, when,
to the utter astonishment of several per
sons, who happened lobe present, they
turned out, to bo Eagles ! yes, gentlemen,
Bald Eagles!!
Tho fact is incontestable, and if doubt
ed, can be proved by the evidence of at
least fifty peison3. In these days of
moralizing, the tent. ha3 beon consider
ed ominous of the fate of the proud rc«
public of which this noble bird is the
emblem. The battle in tho air is the
strife destined to take place between
the two great sections of the Union.
Cuffee represents his own ebony race,
stepping iu upon us while_ engagod in
mortal combat, and wringing the necks
of bo'li. What think you gentleman?
and what would an old Roman huve
thought? It is surprising how many
persons drew the same augury who had
no opportunity oi c> mmunicating with
each other.
You will receive by the gentleman who
hands, you this, a quill from the wings
of one of the birds. I bad forgotten to
mention that they measured each, from
tip to tip, seven feet, atnl a half, and
weighed, the one nineteen, the other
twenty oue pounds. 11. R. P.
I certify to the truth of the above
statement. W. p.
The signature to the above account
will be recognized as the initials of Hngh
R. Pleasants, Esq., now, as then, of
Richmond.
Biggs saw a note lying un the
ground, but knew that it was a
counterfeit, and walked on without
picking it up. He told the. story to
Smithers, when the latter said:
“Do you know, Digg s > you
committed a very grave offence ! _
“Why, what have I done?"
“You have passed a counterfeit
bill, knowing it to be such," said
I Smithers.

Robin Adaiu.— Robert Adnir, the.
hero of the song, was well known in
the London fashionable circles of the
last century by the sobriquet of the
“Fortunate Irishmanbut his pa
rentage and the exact place of iris
birth are unknown lie was brought,
up a surgeon, but Itis “ detection in
an early amour drove him precipi
tately from Dublin,” to push his for
tunes in England. Scarcely had he
crossed the channel, when the chain
of lucky events that ultimately led
him to fame and fortuno commenced.
Near Holyhead, perceiving a car
riage overturned, lie rendered assist
ance. Tho sole occupant of this ve
hicle was “ a lady of fashion, well
known in polite eireles,” who received
Adair's attention with thanks, and
being slightly hurt, and hearing that
ho vtas a surgeon, requested him to
travel with her iu her carriage to
London. On their arrival iu tho me
tropolis she presented him with a fee
of one hundred guineas, and gave
him a general invitation to her house.
In after life, Adair used to say that
it was not so much the amount of this
fee, but the time it was given, that
was of service, to him, as lie was then
almost destitute.
Rut the invitation to her house was
a still greater service, l'or there lie
met the person who decided his fate
in life. This was Lady Caroline
Keppel, daughter of the second Earl
of Albemarle, and Lady Anne Lenox,
daughter of the Duke of Richmond.
Forgetting her high lineage, Lady
Caroline at, the first sight, of the Irish
Surgeon, fell desperately in love with
him, and her emotion was so sudden
and so violent as to attract, the gene
ml attention of the company
Adair, perceiving his advantage,
lost no time in pursuing it; while the
Albemarle and Richmond families
were dismayed at the prospect of such
a terrible misalliance. Every means
were tried to induce the youDg lady
to alter her mind, but without effect.
Adair’s biographer tells us that
“amusements, a long journey, an ad
vantageous offer, and other common
inodes of shaking off what was con
sidered by the family as an improper
match, were already tried, but in
vain; the health of Lady Caroline
was evidently impaired, and tho tam
ily at last confessed, with a good
sense that reflects honor on their un
derstanding, as well as their hearts,
that it was possible to prevent, but
never to dissolve an attachment, and
that marriage was the honorable, and
indeed,- the only alternative, that
could secure Ivor happiness and life.
"When Lady Caroline was taken by
her friends front London to Bath,
that she might bo separated from her
lover, she wrote, it is said, the song
of “Robin Adair,” and set it to a
fdaintivc laish tunc she had heard
tim sing. Whether written by Lady
Caroline or not, the song is simply
expressive of her feelings at the time,
and as it completely corroborates the
circumstances just related, which
were tho town talk of tho period,
though now little more than family
tradition, there can be no doubt that
they were the origin of the song, the
words of which, as originally written,
are the following:
Wbat’B thin (hill town to me?
Kobin’rt in* Hour;
lie whom I wish to boo,
WlhJi for to hear.
Where’H till tho joy umj mirth
Made life a heaven on earth?
Oh! they’re all fled with thee,
Robin Adair!
What made the Assembly shine?
KobiifcAdair!
What made the ball ho lino?
Robin was there!
What, when the play was o’er
That made my heart ko sore?
Oh, it, wan parting with
Robin Adair!
Rut now thou art fiom me,
Robin Adair!
».!/ now / Mover moo
Robin Adair!
Vet ho 1 love mo well
Still in my heart shall dwell,
Oh: can 1 e’er forget
Robin Adair!
Immediately after his marriage
with Lady Caroline, Adair was ap
pointed Inspector General of Military
Hospitals, and subsequently becom
ing a favorite of George 111, he was
m; do Surgeon of Chelsea Hospital.
Vere fortunate men have seldom ma
ny friends, but Adair, by declining a
baronetcy that was offered liim by the
King, for surgical attendance on the
Duke of Gloucester, actually acquired
considerable popularity before his
death, which took place when he was
nearly four score years of age, in 1793.
In the Gentleman’s Magazine of that
year there are verses “On the death
of Robert Adair, Esq., late Surgeon
General, by J. Crane, M. D.,” who,
it is hoped, was a much better physi
cian than poet.
Lady Caroline Adair’s married life
was short but hippy. She died of
consumption, after giving birth to
three children, one of them tt son.
On her death bed she requested
Adair to wear mourning for her as
long as he lived, which ko scrupu
lously did, save ou the King’s and
Queen’s birth days, when his duty to
his sovereign required him m. appear
at court iu fali dress. . C this injunc
tion respeatiug mourning was to pre
vent Adair marrying again, it had the
desired effect; he did not marry again,
though ho had many offers.
