Hamilton, of Dobbs's-ferry, in a conversation with us, many years ago, told us that his father, Captain Alexander Hamilton, lost his Baggage, on the march of General Lee's command from Harlem Heights to the White Plains ; and The Middlesex Journal and Evening Advertiser, No. 1209, London : From Saturday, December 21, to TueBday, December 24, 1776, contains a letter from Westchester, dated November 10, 1776, and carried to England by the Fowey, in which it was stated, " Upon landing at New-Rocuelle, we found the church full of Salt.* Our "troops advanced to this place where we took General Lee's baggage."

In the same number of the same newspaper, another letter "from an " Officer in Gen. Bowe's Army, in the Province of New York," dated "Nov. 11, 1776," is printed, in which itissaid, "A little beyond West " Chester some of our people found a pipe of wine, directed for General " Lee, and nine puncheons of rum, which the General ordered to be "staved, lest the soldiers should get drunk."

Colonel John Glover, in the letter from which we have learned bo much of this Campaign, and who was with General Lee, stated, evidently erroneously, that the column did not reach the White Plains until ten o'clock on Monday morning, the twenty eighth of October, after having marched during the whole of the preceding night, (Colonel Glover's letter.dated " Mile-Square, October 22, 1776," publishedin The Freeman's Jeurnaland New-Bampshire Gazette, Volume I., Number 27, Portsmouth, Tuesday, November 26, 1776 ;) but the Letter from a Gentleman in the Army, dated " Camp near the Mills, about three miles North of " the White-Plains, November 1, 1776," reprinted in Force's American Archives, V., Hi., 471-474, stated that " General Lee reached the Plains, " and marched out, westward, between the main body of the Army and "the river," [Uiat is, he occupied the right of the line,between Generul Sullivan's command and the Bronx-river.'] " This was on the 25th and " 26th of October," the author of the letter added.
