recollect that the state has already ths

the debt incurred in the construction of the

opponents of those works predicted would
never be paid, and that her means are ten

BATTLE OF PRINCETON

The following touching account Of that
engagement is extracted from an unpublish-
ed work by Mr.. Custs, Of Virginia, entitled
"private memoirs of Washington"
The heroic devotion of Washington on
the field Of Princeton, is matter of history.
We have often enjoyed touching remini-
scence OF that ever memorable event from
the late Col. Fitzgerald, who was aid to
the CHIEF, and who never related the story
OF his general danger, and almost miracu-
!ous preservation, without adding to his
tale the homage of tear.
The aid-de-camp had been ordered 70
bring up the troops from the rear of tho
column, when the band under Gen. Mercer
becamr engaged. Upon returning to the
spot where he had left tile commander-in-
chief, he was no longer there, and upon
looking around, he discovered him endea-
vorng to rally the line which had been
thrown into disorder by rapid onset Of tho
foe. Washington, after several Intellectual
efforts to restore the fortunes of the fight,
is seen to rein up his horse, with his head
tn the enemy, and, in that position, to be-
come immovahle. 1t was last appeal to
his soldiers, and seemed to say, will you
give up your general to the foe Such an
appeal was not made IN vain. The discom-
fitted Americans rally on the instant, and
form into line; the enemy halt, and dress
their line; the American chief is between
the adverse posts, as though he had been
placed there tasget for both. The arms
of both lines are leveled. Can escape from
death be possiblel Fitzgerald, horror
struck at the danger of his beloved COM
mander, dropped the reins upon his horses
neck, and threw his hat over his face, that
he might not see him die. A roar of musk-
etry succeeds, and then a shout. 1t was
the shout of victory. The aid-dc-camp ven
lures to raise his eyes, and he, glorious
ight, the enemy are broken and fiying--
while dmly amid the glimpses of the smoke,
is seen the chief, "alive, unlarmed, and
without wound," waving his hat, and
cheering his comrades to the pursuit.
Col. Fitzgerrld, celebrated as one of the
finest horsemen III the American army
dashed his rowels in his charger, TANKS
and needless of the dead and dying in his
way, flew to the side of his chief, exclaim-
ing, "thank God your Excelency is SAFE"
while the favorite aid, gallant and warm
hearted son of Erin, man of thews and
sinews, and "aIbeit unused to the melting
mood" gave loose to his feelings, and
wept like child for joy.
Washington, ever calm amid scenes OF
the greatest excitement,u nt,ufiectionutely grasp
ID the hand OF his aid and friend, and then
ordered "away my dear colonel, and bring
u3 the troGps-the day is our own!"
