TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
    At a meeting held in Wilmington by CAPT. THOMAS N. GAUTIER’S Company of 
Volunteers, in consequence of the melancholy intelligence of the death of 
GENERAL ALEXANDER HAMILITON, it was unanimously agreed that they were crape on 
their left arm for 30 days in order to evince their deep regret and to 
sympathize with their fellow citizens in the irreparable loss their country 
has sustained by the untimely death and unfortunate termination of the career 
of that virtuous Soldier and Statesman.
   GENERAL HAMILTON has left eight children, four sons and four daughters, the 
youngest an infant.
