Improvements. , Among the important evidences of progress which meet the eye about town, ■ wo have omitted to notice the new ten ement of six fine residences now being completed on Reynolds street, corner of McCartney, by W. H Goodrich, Esq They are of uniform size, and contain all the modern conveniences. Such buildir, ;s have been much needed in the city, and we have heard’t suggest ed that a row of such houses on a little cheaper scale, erected on tire vacant lots in the vicinity of the parade ground, j to rent for about $250 to S3OO, would be a good investment. Who will try it f Mr. Goodrich is also putting in gran ite fronts and a second story to the stores formerly occupied by W. L. Sher man andTnos. P. Stovall, and extend- | ing them in the rear. When finished j each store will be one hundred and fif ty feet deep. Mr. Ramsay has just completed an el egant and commodious residence, on Greene street, 1 elow Campbell. Ur. Newton is putting up two large j brick dwellings on Green, above Camp- j hell street. Mr. S. S. Jones is just finishing a neat j brick residence on Green street, just be- j low Centre ; and preparations are being | made to enter upon other improve- j incuts in the stores and private resi- j Jinnee of the city.

Crane, determined to give j the ladies a better opportunity to in-| spcct his usually well assorted stock of | goods, is putting np a handsome Granite j Front. A number of the stores on j Broad, between Jackson and Mclntosh j streets, have new fronts. We would be j pleased to see Clark’s store on the cor- j ner undergo the same operation. It would make a great difference in its ap penrance, and render it one of the most showy stores on Broad street. This is the age of improvement, and laggards must keep np, or they will find them selves, before they know it, far behind. Messrs. Poullain, Jennings & Co., are erecting in the rear of their store on Broad street, a fine, large brick Ware house, capable of storing 5,000 bales of cotton. It will front on Reynolds and Jackson streets. When this warehouse is completed it j will make the eighteenth now in oceu- j pation and doing a good business.

His son, Samuel, the subject of this sketch, was born in Rich- j mond county, in 1757, and received up to the age of sixteen all the educational advantages available in the Col ny.pre paratory to being sent to England,where ! Iris elder brother, Charles, was then completing his collegiate course. San Uiel, however, had determined other wise; for, at this ea-ly age, instead of being, as contemplated by his parents, on his way to join his brother in Eng land, we find him a volunteer in an expedition ordered out against tire Western Indians by Governor Ptmmore, bis father's old friend. Thus early sha ping a course for himself, and boldly j coming rrpon tire busy stage of life, de termined to take his part in the great drama, wlrose “ coming events began to cast their shadows before." In the first engagement with the Indians—the desperate battle at the mouth of the great Kenhawa River —every officer of his company was killed soonafter theaction commenced, and he —mere hoy as he was—appointed to take command. In this capacity he continued the conliict from an early hour of the morning un til near 4 o'clock in the afternoon, maintaining his position and driving; back the savages, giving unmistakea | hie evidence of his bravery and fitness for command, which was ever afterwards characteristic of him, and made him one of the ablest officers of the ser vice. After the conclusion of Indian hostil ities, and on the breaking out of the Revolution, he placed himself on the side of liberty, raised a c >mpany of mi nute men, and, in 1775, took part in the battle of Long Bridge ; after which he volunteered as aid to Gen. Hand and went to Pittsburg. In January, 1i79, 1 he was at the battle of Stono, and with :Gen. Greene at the seige of Savannah, where he was appointed Assistant Bri gade Quartermaster. On the fall of Charleston, he took part in the Council which was called to decide on the terms j of capitulation, protested against ti decision of the majority, refused to ire governed by the terms, or take British j protection,withdrew from his associates and, with his little command, retreated tv , ! the mountains of North Carolina, where : he soon after encountered Hie emny at lOedar Springs, July, 1780 ; at Mus j grove's Mills. August 19,1780; at Ram | sour's Mills, and at the ever memorable j battle of King's Mountain, 7th October, i 1780, where he bore a conspicuous part lin the achievement of that splendid 1 vietorv ; at Guilford Court House, loth I March, 1781, and at the battle of Black stuuks, Vyi-.-,.! , ' 1 " where he act .*! witn' great i itiuy. ... had three ihorses shot under him during the cn jgagement, and was himself wounded ■by a musket ball striking bill, on the i right side, pa sing upwards and back wards, and lodging underthe left shoul jder, a severe and dangerous wound, I which, however, did not cause him to yield his command. He continued up !on the field of strife and blood to the hast, urging on his troops with unaba- Ited ardor and effectiveness, j At the seige of Augusta, in 1781, he ! led the Forlorn Hope, and with two | companies of his regiment stormed the fort. After this transaction, he scoured the frontier up the Savannah River, ; crossed into Carolina and joined Gen. j Greene in time to parcipitate in the bat- j tie of Cowpeus, which occurred 17 th of < January, 1781. Here Col. Hammond, , in conjunction with Col. Washington, pursued Tarleton for twenty eight miles j and then lost him under cover of dark ness and the swamp. Again wefind him at the glorious battle of Entaw Springs Bth September, 1781, where he was, at one, time completely cut off from the Whi: army. Having charged the enemies lines they gave way and threw down their arms ; but, finding him unsup ported, resumed them ...iu, closed up, | and attempted to intercept his return. Finding himself unsustained in his |charge, as was promised and expected, ihe charged (he lines a second time with Shis gallant band and cut his way back I through entangled masses of British isoldiery, literally drenched in blood,his j face blackened with powder and his cap I riddled with balls. As he emerged from ithe dense masses around him, he saw I bis friend Washington hard pressed on ’ his left, and determined to succor him lif possible. The attempt was unavail | ing ; before he could reach the sp.’t, J having to cut every inch of his way,the | brave Washington lay bleeding under I the dead body of his horse, surrounded j and a prisoner. The field of be.’ !e at this moment was rich in the dreadful scenery whicb disfigures such a picture. On the left, Washington overpowered and borne down- his cavalry routed and flying horses plunging as they died, or madly coursing the field without their riders, while the enemy with poised bayonets issued from the thicket uppn the woun ded or unhorsed rider. On the ri„at, Col. Hammond, with his gallant regi ment. nobly Contending with the sue ami sustaining the pressure of the whole British lines as they came surging upon him like an avalanche, fighting hand to hand with awful effect; sabre clashing with sabre—the flash and roar of mus ketry—the clang of interlocking bayo j nets—the road strewed with the man-, gled bodies of men and horses, and fragments of dismounted artillery, gave evidence ot the dreadful work lbat was goiDg on around him In this des perate engagement, Col Hammond re ceived a buyonct thrust through tire ri ,r Ut le", and a mu.-ket shot above the knee in the left, notwithstanding which lie was left with his command, together with that of Col. Hampton, to hold and guard the field during the night, while Gen Greene removed the main army seven miles distant, for the con venience of water and safety of ins prisoners It was conceded by both officers and men, that to the extraor dinary exertions, superior skill, and un flinching bravery of Col. Hammond be longed the honor of that day. Ai.d ! Gen. Greene publicly, on tho field as [well as elsewhere, complimented and thanked him lor the chivalry he dis played throughout the engagement. It ,is a fact, well authenticated, that botu [Generals Morgan and Sumter repeat iedly declared that, Col. Hammond, as a partisan officer, had no superior in this, i or any other country. He came tor 1 ward in the service of his country as a, volunteer, and learned the military art; in the hard and hazardous school of In dian warfare. He was so vigilant that ' ! no enemy could ever surprise .him, and. " ■ possessed so much undaunted valor, that , i nothing could dishearten him. Con* i stantly traversing the country from the I | seaboiird to the mountains, surprising J and breaking up marauding bands of ' Tories; in fact, wherever there was a b’ow to be given, he was there to give it. ' The battle of Eutaw effectually ter minated the war in the South ; hut Col. Hammond continued in arms until the final restoration of peace, and then set tied in Savannah. During his residence in Georgia, he held many important! posts. Was appointed State Coinmis-j sioner to act in conjunction with Gener-j al Lincoln, Judge Silas Griffin and Mr.; Swan. Again with Col. Hawkins, andl Generals Pickens and Wilkinson. He! also served for some time as Surveyor, General of Georgia, and represent! d j the county of Chatham several tithes in the State Legislature. In 179:1, was ap ! ■ pointed to the command of the Ist Reg iment Chatham county Militia, by Gov-j ernor Telfair, and immediately ordered to the frontier, where he rendered im-, ■ portant service in building block-lions ; us, and checking the depredations of the lower Creek Indians. In October,; ( 1802, was elected to represent the State j | of Georgia in Congress, defeating Joseph \ Bryan, Esq., and Wm. II Crawford. In 1805, received from President Jefferson, the appointment of Military and Civil! Commandant of Upper Louisiana—af terwards Missouri—whither he removed, and remained until 1824, occupying va-; rious responsible stations as Governor, j member of Congress, Receiver of Pub-,; lie Money, &c. In 1824, he returned to. South Carolina, the theatre of his early exploits. In 1827, was elected Surveyor j iGeneral, and in 1831 Secretary of State, j In 1832 he retired from public life, j having served his country in a military j and civil capacity, for upwards of sixty years ! Itis cquaintance extended into every state and Territory of the Union, —the bosom friend of Jefferson, Madi son, and Monroe; of Gov. James Jack son, of Georgia, General William Henry j Harrison, and many other Patriots and! Sages of the old school ; and, was es teemed by every one who could appro- ! ciate public usefulness or private worth. Os the social circle, he was the life, amusing by his cheerful sallies of wit and humor. He possessed in so eminent i a degree the noble virtues of patience, ' disinterestedness, self government, se-| verity to himself, and generosity to his j enemies, that it is a difficult matter to | | point to one more deserving of admira tion. He preserved his natural suavity [tothe last, and on the 11th of Septem- 1 I her, 1842, in the 85th year of his age, j ; died, as he had lived, a truly great man ! 1 |lt can he truly said of him, that his whole life was devoted to the servie of others When not engaged with public affairs, lie was unceasingly engaged in ministrations of private charity, and benevolence. Such is but a faint pic ture of tlie character and services of Col. Samuel Hammond, of South Caro lina, who was justly considered one of the most accomplished Partisan Officers of the Revolution, and elegant and pop ular men of his day. *ln 1831 wlicb a candiJate tor the office of Secretary of Suito, lien Sumter, ia a voluntary communication made to the l.r-pslalure, stated that, to Col. Hammond’s extraoi ilmary cser tions and bravery, the victory at r»’a .ks-locks belonged—hipli testimdny, and nobly given.
