5 It is one of the Bingular portions of the history of that eventful Campaign, that the only mention which we have found, concerning General Sullivan's services, as Major-general commanding one of the great Divisions of the American Army, in Westchester-county, is that merely i ncidental remark, by General Heath, to which we have referred. There appears, also, in the manuscript papers of General Sullivan, which we have carefully examined, personally, next to nothing on the subject ; there is nothing in the carefully-prepared Memoir of him, by hifl faithful biographer, Hon. Thomas C. Amory, which throws the faintest light on the subject ; and Mr. Amory, whom it is our privilege to number among our oldest and dearest personal friends, is entirely unable to afford the slightest information.

In view of the fact that he was placed in command of a great Diision of the Army, while older and more pretentious Major-generals were left in less important positions, it cannot be pretended that that silence was produced by any want of respect for either his military character or his military services.
