HON. GIDEON HAWLEY died in Albany July 16, 1870.
GIDEON HAWLEY was born in the State of Connecticut in 1785, but removed to New York in 1794. In 1809 he graduated at Union College, and in 1812 was admitted to the Supreme Court. From that time until his death he resided at Albany, engaged in the practice of the law and in the dis- charge of various important trusts committed to him by indi- viduals and the State. But the great distinction of his life was his connection with the cause of education. He was always a leading trustee of the academies in Albany and of the State Normal school; the first secretary of the Regents of the New York University, and afterwards one of its chief members. He was also from 1846 one of the New York Regents of the Smithsonian Institution at Washington; and, as detailed in Randall's Digest of the Common School System of the State, the person to whom that noble institution was chiefly indebted for its organization and success. As a man Mr. HAWLEY was distinguished by a noble presence, great personal integrity and practical sense. He was also of broad culture and most gener- ous character, illustrated by a work on human knowledge written (not published) near the close of his life, and by the rare fact that for many years previous thereto he divided all of his surplus income among his children.

The following biographical sketch of JUDGE LANSING Was kindly furnished by a member of the family :
"JUDGE JACOB LANSING was educated at the Granville Academy in Washington county, N. Y., and afterwards en- tered Middlebury College and was graduated with honor. When the war of 1812 broke out he was appointed Quarter- master of the Twelfth regiment, New York State troops, by Governor Daniel D. Tompkins, Colonel John T. Dalsen com- manding the regiment, and proceeded with the same to Sackett's Harbor where he was in service nearly twelve months, and from exposure contracted the seeds of disease which event- ually terminated in his death. After the war he studied law in the office of Philip S. Parker, Esq., and was licensed in due time as an attorney and advocate. He acquired such a dis- tinguished reputation as a sound and well-read lawyer that he was appointed Judge of the Albany Common Pleas in 1828.
155
LANSING.
In 1838 he was made first Judge of said court. During his term of office the decisions of that court were highly respected. As a presiding magistrate he was impartial, honest and capable, and gave character to the Bench."
The Christian Intelligencer, in speaking of JUDGE LANSING, says :
" As a man and a Christian he was without fear and without reproach ; as a man he was just and tenacious of his purpose ; as a lawyer, learned, logical, honest ; as a judge, inflexible, in- corruptible ; as a politician, settled in opinion, fixed and stern ; as a Christian, faithful, reliable, active; as an elder in the Middle Dutch Church, prompt, energetic, able." He was in all relations of life honored and respected.

The Army record of Captain Lansing, given below, will be found interesting and is valuable on account of the details it gives of the movements of one of the regiments engaged in the war of the Rebellion :
ARMY RECORD
Of CAPTAIN SPENCER STAFFORD LANSING, Company F, Twenty- fifth Regiment, Michigan Infantry Volunteers. Mustered in State service 15th day of July, 1861, and under orders and instructions from Colonel Gilbert of the Nineteenth Infantry, but that regiment being filled by transfer of Governor Blair of companies enlisted prior to mine, I reported to one of the four new regiments ordered, and selected the Twenty-fifth, Colonel O. H. Moore, commanding.
The regiment was organized at Kalamazoo, Mich., and was encamped at that place for two months before we were . ordered to the front or near the seat of war - Louisville, Ky .- about the 1st of November, 1861. Remained there on Provost duty for one month, when ordered to Munfordsville, as Green River Bridge was threatened by the Rebels, and Gen- eral John Morgan had given out notice that he would take his

Christmas dinner there, but not liking the appearance of things concluded to let the job out. Moved from there to Bowling Green, Ky., remained there during the winter, and was honored by the detail of chief officer commanding Patrols of the city and inspector of papers. The regiment ordered back to Louis- ville, Ky., in the Spring of 1862, but on arriving at Lebanon Junction disembarked from cars and ordered to pursue General John Morgan, with whom, after a forced march, we came up with and routed him at Hall's Gaps, recovering one thousand head of cattle he was conveying to the enemy. Soon after this, while stationed at Louisville, Ky., Companies F, D, E. J and K ordered to Green River Bridge, after being encamped there about one month. The entire command, numbering about two hundred, was attacked by General John Morgan the morning of the 4th day of July, 1862, and here occurred one of the most memorable battles of the war, so stated by the leading generals of the army of the North as well as by gen- erals of the Southern army.
A force of two hundred men compelled a force of four thou- sand eight hundred men to change their front, and by an oblique march pass their foe. " All honor to the boys in blue." I had the honor on this occasion to receive General Morgan's flag of truce, composed of Colonel Duke, Major Elliot and others, and after introducing them to Colonel Moore, he asked them the nature of their business, which was complied with by Colonel Duke, and presented him with a demand for the sur- render of our force unconditionally. Moore's reply was that it was the 4th day of July, that on any other day there might be a slight possibility of his entertaining it, but on that day he would see them dammed first. (I use the language the Colonel did, being angry, that the demand, as he expresed it, should be made on that particular day of all others, sacred to every American freeman.) After the battle ordered from the front, being the extreme outpost to Lebanon, Ky. Division then formed, Colonel Moore. commanding, to organize at New Market, Ky.
