BATTLE oF PRINCETON.


The following touching account Of thai
is extracted from an unpubs
lished work by Mr.. Custus, Of Virginias
entitled Private memoirs Of Washington.
The heroic devotion of Washington on
the Geld of Princeton, is matter Of histo-
ry. We have often enjoyed touching re-
miniscence Of that ever memorable event
from the late Col. Fitzgerald, who was aid
10 the chief, and who never related the sto-
ry Of his generals danger, and almost mirs
aculous preservation, without adding TO his
tale the homage Of a tear.
The aid-de-c&mp had been ofdered to
bring up the troops from the real Of the coll
um, when the band under Gen. Mercer be-
came engaged. Upon returning to the spot
where he had left the Commander-in-ChiefI

the reins upon his horses neck, and drew

then shout. 1t was the shout OF victory.
The aid-de-camp ventures 10 raise his eyess
