The Cnso Fairly at Point.

Was IT A DEFEAT ?-The question
agitating the community in regard TO the
late battle, has now come down to the
one proposition: "Did we defeat the
enemy?' A view Of all the circum-
stances shows the following:
1st. That the enemy chose their own
time and place of attack.
Cd. That they attempted surprise
and carried it out at the beginning by
lcoming most unexpectedly upon our for
ces, while many of them were preparing
their breakfasts.
Sd. That their troops outnumbered
ours considerably. Il..
The result was, that after Is hours of
severe fighting, they were forced to re-
tire TO their old quarters, having in killed
and wounded nearly double the number
Of men lost on our side. We are Of the
opinion that il was at least such de-
feat as will forbid their making a similar
attempt under the same circumstances.
There is a point beyond which reason
cannot consistently 60, and those who
wish more should take their muskets in
hand and stand side by side in such q
contest as the 9th and 9TH, with the val
liant men who, under a CALLING fire, sent
back the balls like hail upon their as
sailants Failing TO accomplish their
object, when they began operations under
such favorable circumstances, was Of
itself defeat, but having driven them
back with heavy loss, constitutes II dOub-
ly so,

Death OF Theodore FrcIingbuysen,
The Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen died
at his residence in Newark, New Jersey,
on Saturday, the 10Th inst after lin
gering illness. His age was seventy-Gve
years.
MIR. Frelinghuysen was born at Mill

1887. He took his degree at Princeton,
in 1901, and entered on the practice of
The law in 1903. lie Immediately gained
a high reputation at the bar. In the war
of 1912, he took part as a captain of
company of volunteers. In 1917 he was
chosen Attorney General of the State.
In 1896 he was transferred TO the United
States Senate. He was Wing ia peli-
ties. He enjoyed moreover, amid the
too common designations and license of
public men, an exalted character for
probity, for essential religion, and an
esoteric as we'll as cxoteric Observance
of the capital proprieties of life. tt was
natural, therefore, with the religious
sentiments he felt as well as professed,
that on the question of the non carrying
of the mails on Sunday, he should take
the Sabbatharian side. Other votes in
dicatiye of a similar temper were re-
corded by him. His sympathies were
with "the poor Indian" as shown by
his votes The tariff of course, 10 a
gentleman of such liberal culture, was
an object Of profound interest and earn
est support In 1886, he quit the SEN
ate, OF which he had so long been a
moral and political ornament, and a
Democratic Senator followed him as
the exponent of New Jersey. New York,
alive to his learning, his piety and his
noble character, then made him Chan
collor of her University. In 1914, the
Whig National Convention at Baltimore
nominated him for Vice President and
Henry Clay for President In 1850 Mr.
Freliughuysen gave up his Chancellor
ship and became President Of Rutgers
College, New Brunswick, Nj He has
also been active in his connection witt
religious bodies, in the distribution o
the Scriptures, and religious and mora
works.
The father of bIr. Frelinghuysen wa.
distinguished lawyer Of New Jersey
took part il the battles of Monmouth
and Trenton, and enjoys the credit O
having shot the IIessian commander

comfort which a clergyman might afford -
The lady retired and the clergyman
found lying on the bed book with texts

found that out Of that book portions Of
