Bcath ar,el Character of Warren.
BY a. H. EvERITT.
During the progress Of this famous
battle, which took place June II,
1875, little incident occurred, in
which Gen. Putnam, and Maj. Small
of the British army, were the par
ties concerned, and which throws
over the various horrors Of the scene
momentary gleam of kindness and
chivalry. These two officers were
personally known to each other, and
had, in fact, while serving in the for
mer wars against the French, con-
tracted a close friendship.
After the fire from the American
works had taken effect, Maj. Small,
Ike his commander. remained almost
alone upon the field. His compan-
ions in arms had been all swept
away, and standing thus apart, he
became Immediately, fIom the bril-
liancy CT his dress, a conspicuous
mark for the Americans within the
redoubt. They had already pointed
their nnerrirg rifles at his heart, and
the delay Of another moment would
probably have stopped its pulses fer
ever.
At this moment Gen. Putnam re-.
cognized his friend, and perceiving
the imminent danger in winch he
was placed, sprang upon the para
pet. and threw himself before the
levelled rifles. 'Spare that officer,
my gallant comrades" said the no
BE minded veteran; "we are friends:
we are brothers; do you not remem-
Der how we rushed into each others
arms, at the meeting for the exchange
of prisoners - This appeal, urged
in the well known voice of favor
ite old chief. was successful. and Ma
ior Small retired unmolested from
the field
Gen. Warren had come upon the
field, as he said, to learn the art of
war from a veteran soldier. He had
offered to take Col. Prescott's or
ders; but his desperate courage
would hardly permit him Immediate
ly to retire. 1t was not without ex-
treme reluctance, and at the very la
test moment, that he quilted the re-
doubt; and he was slowly retreating
from it, being still a few rods dis
tance only, when the British had OBJ
tanned full possession. His person
was of course in imminent danger.
At this critical moment, Major
Small, whose life had been saved in
g similar emergency by Gen. Putnam
attempted to requite the service by
rendering one Of like character to
Warren. he called out TO him by
name from the redoubt, and begged
him 20 surrender, at the same time
ordering the men around him to sus-
pend their fire. Warren turned his
head, as if he recognised his voice,
but the effort was too late. While
his face was directed towards the
works, ball struck him on the fore
head, and inflicted a wound which
was instantly fatal.
Had it been the fortune Of War
rem to live out the usual term of ex-
istence, he would probably have
