The weekly American banner. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1855-18??, 1856-07-11

A little boy near Hagerstown, Maryland, was one
day pointing out to copse of trees as the place
where Washington, at the head of the Virginia RAN
gers, fought battle, long before the Revolution,
with some Indians, headed by French from Fort
Duquesne, now Plttsburg. The little fellow had
some balls of lead which had been fired in the bat
tle chopped from the centre of the now massive and
aged oaks. I saw that the sunbeam of some moral
emotion was in his eyes; and asked him further of
Washington, the brave youth who had led the Vir-
ginians into that thicket when the war-whoop shook
its boughs, and the rife rung its gloom. His mind
seemed glance like lightning through the illustrious
deeds of arms in which Washington had engaged,
and settled down at the siege of Yorktown He told
me of the circumstances Said he,-" When the
British troops were marched out of their entrench-
ments to lay down their arms, Washington told the
American army, MY boys, let there be no insult
over conquered foes when they lay down theirarm
