Tho Virginians," he mentions tho dotcc.
ton of tho spy hung in tho Highlands by
order Of Governor Clinton. as having oc
Cured by Lis meeting some mon in red
coats" The true history is this Somo of
0nr cruisers had captured an enemys trans
port laden with British uniforms. which
were used in clothing our soldiers. In gen.
cral, they were dyed blue before distribu
tiou; but tow had been served out in their
original color to troops rncamped in the
Highlands. commanded by General George
Clinton. The Highland forts wero taken on
the sixth of October. l777. by Sir Henry
Clinton, and on tho eighth, he despatched a
letter, dated Fort Montgomery, to General
| Burgoyne announcing its capture. The
bearer OF this letter. on tho next day fell in
with u picket. guard of George Clinton s
forces. clothed in rcd coats and being de
ceiSed by their uniforms, approached, and
asked tho name of their commander. Tho
answer was. "Goneral Clinton" Thinking
that tho British General had shifted his
quarters, he asked to be conducted to him
and upon discovering his mistake, he imme-
! diately swallowed tho silver ball contained
tho despatch. lie was discovered in the
act, and by tho administration of emetics
was forced to dsgorge tho concealed docu.
ment. He was hung in sight of the smoking
ruins of Esopus.

Sweeps in glory bright along,
Whcro tho shadoT there arc blending,
And no discopd in tho song.
Whore tho Savior's flocks arc resting,
By that river bright and fair,
Aud immortal glory crestng
Every bead that enters thore;
Whore the anthem loud is pealing
Songs Of praise to Him alone;
Whore the soraph band arc knccling,
Mid the radiance Of tho Throne.
There at last hope to meet thee,
Never, never moro to part;
In those happy bowers to greet thee,
Whcgo no farewell tears shall start.
And again in Heaven united,
Mid those fair Evsian bowers,
VOL perfect tho loyo wo pIightod,
In this darkenod world Of ours.
Then look forward 10 that meeting.
Which shall know no blight or voc
That ctcrnal, joyous greeting,
Mid EiysGn's cndl0ss flow.
