Point. II is a rounded, grayelly hill of small
extent, jntiing into the stream, and connected,

partially oyerfown with the tide waters. II
was fortified in the revolutionary war, and oc-
cupied by small force might have been con-
sidcre1 as n remote outpost TO the strong for
ircss Of West Point. 1t was captured Try the
British in the year 1873. and strongly repaired
and parrisoned by moro than six hundred
soldiers, commanded by the brave Lieut.. Col
Johnson.

the same year. tall commanding parsonage,
mounted on a strong charger, was seen on the
eminence above Stony Point. lie had glass
in his hand, and appeared to study the chafac-
ter OF the defence, with an intensity and inter
esi-Johnson, who was returning the gaze OF
the horssman, with his spyglass, turned 10
one of his staffand remarked that the appan-
ton on the hill porendcd no good. Rumors
were afoai about the entrcncnmcnis that the
