THE FORTUNE OF WASHINGTON.

Col. Ferguson, who was killed there
at the head of the British forces, in
which the Colonel relates to his BROTH

following curious incident, showing one
Of the remarkable escapes Of Washing
ton in time of imminent danger. The
occurrence happened while Ferguson
lay with part Of his riilemen on skirt
of wood in front of Gen. knyphausen's
division. We quote from the National
Intelligencer:
eve had not lain long (says Fergu-
son in this letter. when rebel officer,
remarkable by hussar dress, passed
towards our army, within a hundred
yards ofmy right flank. not perceiving
US. He was followed by another, dress
ed in dark green and blue, mounted on
a good bay horse, with a remarkable
high cooked hat. | ordered three good
shots to steal near to them and fire at
them; but the idea disgusted me. re-
called the order. The hussar, in turn

which | advanced from the woods to-

made sign to him to stop. leyelling my
piece at him; but he slowly continued
his way. As was within that distance

have lodged half dozen balls in or
about him before he was out of my
reach, had only to determine: but it
was not pleasant to fire at the back Of
an unoffending individual who was ac-
quitting himself very cody Of this duty.
So I let him alone. The day after, I
had been telling this story to some
wounded officers, who lay in the same
room with me, when one of our SUR
geons, who had been dressing the
wounded rebel officers, came in and
told us that they had been informing
him that Gen. Washington was all the
morning with the light troops, and only
attended BY French officer in hussar
dress, he himself dressed and mounted
in every point as above described. !
