indignant at the proceeding, was describing the
part which Scott took in the battle of Niagara
He said Scott's brigade were advancing towards
evening, under the eoyet Of wood, from which
they were to doploy into the opon field; Scott had
already had one horse shot under him, as the col
amn were deploying his second horse fell, and
he became entangled under it The column wav-
cred, and Worth, then his Youngest aid, rushing to
his assistance, dismounted and rendered him his
horse, saying General can you mount the column

riding at the head column, cried out Advance men
Worht as his aid on foot At this moment discharge
from single cannon prostrated Scott the horse
which he rode land his aid, Worth. Scott and Worth
immediatly carried to the rear Scott seriously
and Worth, as it was supposed, mortaly wounded
Attention was of course, first paid to the command

heard, apperantly from the adjoining tent, and
Scott with that forgetfulness of himself which dis

surgeon to repair 10 the quarter whence the sound
proceeded, and attend,as he said to orWorth, who
