To the Printer of the CONNECTICUT
COURANT.
Bennington, iSih August, 17^7.
The following exertions of the Council for
the State of Vermont, fin.ce the evacuati
on of Ticonderoga, Mount Indepen
dence, &c. may be depended on as faffs,
which I thinkjiHlly deserves a place in
your ufeful paper; you are therefore de
lired to publish the fame
fy HOSEgentlemen were with others attend-
X % " general Convention of that State at
Windsor, when the above mentioned fortreffes
were btfeged by the enemy ; who conftantty re
ceived intelligence of the movements of the differ
ent bodies. Every method in their power was
used to forward the militia in this and the eaflern
fates to the affiance of General St. Clair, as
well as provifons of every kind. On receiving
authentic intelligence of the evacuation of th®fe
fortrejfs, and that a stand was to be made, at
• Bennington. The feme day, the honorable Con
vent,on then fitting as aforefaid, appointed twelve
members as a council 0 tranfaff public bufotefs of
feid fate during the recess of the convention ; who
without delay repaired immediaiely to Manchester,
where Coloner Earner's regiment of Continental
troops was at that time posted ; which they find
ing were not a fufrient force to withstand the
enemy in case of an attach, exerted tbemfelves in
the most spirited manner, and coTefted the militia
offaid fate ; which enabled Col. Warner to main
tain that post. At the fame time they wrote to
the honourable the Council of the State of New-
Hamflhire, setting forth in the most preying terms
the necefity of the affiance of the militia of that
State to guard so valuable a part of the country
from the immediate ravage of the Indians, as was
thredtned by General Burgoyne's manifefto. The
honourable Councilof New-Hampfeire taking the
fame under Deir immediate confederation, and or
dered a fourth f.rt of twelve regiments to be
forthwith drafted, and put them under my com
mand; at which time I received orders to march
to Manchefar, and act in conjunHion with Cel.
Warner. After my arrival at that place 1 re
ceived orders from Major- General Lincoln, pur
suant to ora^rs frbm General Schuyler, to march
my whole brigade to Stillwater, and join the main
army then under his command. At the famb
time requeued the whole of the militia (by General
Schuyler's orders) of the State of Vermont, to join
him and to march to Stillwater as aforefaid ; In
obedience thereto I marched with ray brigade to
Bennington, on my way to join him, leaving that
part of the country almojt n.ked to the ravage of
the enemy. The honourable council then setting
at Bennington were much against my marching
with my brigade, as it was raised on their requejt,
they apprehending great danger of the enemies ap
proaching to that place, which afterwards we
found t i uly to be the case---they happily agreed to
postpone giving orders to the militia to march, by
which, together with their repeated applications
for the militia of the State of Massachusetts- Bay,
and supplying with arms and ammunition, af
forded me the greater affiance in obtaining the
glorious and memorable victory obtained over
the enemy near this place on the 16th infant,
who were determined to Lave pentrated the coun
try.
I therefore cannot in juflice omit giving the
honourable council the honour of exerting them
selves in the most spirited manner in that most cri
tical time.
