» Colonel Haslet to General Cmar Rodney, "November 12, 1776;" Captain Hull's unpublished Memoir of his Revolutionary Services, quoted in Campbell's Revolutionary Services and Civil Life of General William HuU, by his daughter, 54, 55 j etc.

< Colonel Carrington, (Battles of the American Revolution, 240,) was at some pains to introduce Colonel Morris Graham, of the New York Militia and to place his name where it would appear among those of Colonels commanding Regiments who had occupied and defended Chatterton's-

Company of New-York Artillery, with two small field-pieces, commanded by Captain Alexander Hamilton and forming a portion of the Brigade commanded by General McDougal, was, also, present ; but history has not recorded the name of the Officer who, then, commanded it. 5

The cannonade of the little party, on Chatterton'shill, was continued by the Hessian Artillerists, without cessation, while the General Officers, it is said, 6 assembled in Council, without having dismounted ; and it is probable that the noisy demonstration, so very characteristic of Germans, in their use of gunpowder, was continued, with unabated ardor, until the movement of their companions in arms, up the steep and rugged hill-side, of which the reader will learn more, hereafter, obliged the gunners to suspend their operations. 7

" Upon viewing the situation," in deference to the

hill ; but no other writer than he has thus honored Colonel Graham, himself unworthy of any such authorial favor ; and, besides, Colonel Carrington could have easily ascertained that Colonel Graham's command was a portion of the Brigade commanded by General George Clinton, who was posted on the extreme left of the American line, not far from two miles from Chatterton's-hill.
