Washington, with his army, crossed the Delaware
on the night Of the 25th of December 1776. The
cold was very severe-snOw, mingled with hail and
rain, fell in great quantities, and much ice was
made in the river that with the greatest eXor-
tion and difficulty the crossing was effected Not
wthstaudng the fatigues of the night, he attacked
the British early next morning who had not the
slightest intelligence of his approach and routed
them with great slaughter. Col. Rahl who com
manded the royaliss in that quarter did everything
which could be expected from Il brave and expert
enced officer; but heattack sudden aud inipetn.
GUS and conducted by Washington himself. The
enemy gave way on all sides-the artillery was
oners of Washington reclossed to Ills camp with
3 loss of but nine men.-E0entS Of the RepolatiOn.
Dark and gloomy was the hour
And freodoms fires burned low
For twenty days had Washington
Retreated from the foe; ,la-
And his weary soldiers feet were bare,
AS he fed across the Delaware nl
Hearts were fainting through the land
And patriot blood ran cold
The stricken army retained
Two thousand men all told
While British arms cleaned everywhere,
From the Hudson to the Delaware.
Cnld and stormy came the night,
The great chief reused his men:
Now up, brave comrades, up, n
And strike for freedom once again; f- -a
For the lion sleepeth in his lair,
On the left bank of the Delaware.
BY the darkling rivers side,
Beneath Il winfry sky, e,f..-.ar.
From that weak baud, furlOrn and few,
Went up the patriots cry
0hl land Of freedom ne'er despair
We'll die or cross the Delaware

WINTER SPORTS During the stay Of
our brief winter everybody seemed to enjoy
and make the most of it while it lasted
The old and the young alike seemed to ac-
quire new vigor from the bracing atmos-
phere, and mingled in the various pleasures
and sports of the season The jingle of the
sleigh bells, sounding out their notes, from
the deepest basso cf the "cow ornament"
to the finest tingle of the switzer shepherd
fancy, were heard at all hours of the day
and night, while the joyous peals of laugh
ter from the merry riders echoed in fine
concord to the Emusic of the bells. > Balls
and parties were had in town aud country,
and all kinds of merry gatherings were in
dulged in by the anti-dispeptic Snow
balling was the order of the day with some,
and it was bad luck to the masculine who
attempted to drive through the town so1us
with sleigh in the daytime Every one
who was ION it stood ready with his pile
of snow balls to assault the unfortunate in
dividual who dared venture out in sleigh
without natural protector" Even the
girls seemed to enjoy the snow balling
amusements and some of them were fortu-
nate OF unfortunate don't knew which
enough to get their feces washed, perhaps
for the first time in their ives-with snow.
But in the midst Of these pleasures, old
boreas, yclept Chinook, came along and in
a single night changed the scene from win
ter, to rain, mud, sunshine and spring and
the ordinary routine Of every day, business
life.

potism OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
the sGabeas Corpus"
Under this head the indianapolis correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial writes to that pa
per as follows:
Considerable excitement was occasioned in
town, as few days ago. by habeas corpus case
before the Supreme Court, Judge Perkins pre-
siding A deserter was arrested here by Captain
Newman. one of the officers of the post.
Through an Attorney he sought release on a
writ Of habeas corpus. Judge Perkins issued q e
writ, which was soon after returned unsatisted.
Captain Newman refusing TO give up the pris
oner i'm accordance with instructions from the
War Department.
Judge Perkins pronounced this case of con
tempt, and, filled with wrath. determined To have
the prisoner and Captain Newman brought into
Court make the streets of Indianapolis run
with the blood of those who would attempt re
sisIance to his authority Colonel Darlington, of
the 18th regulars. hearing of the natter, stepped
into the Court room. and after Introducing hun
self to Judge Perkins, told him the writ could
not he served. except by posse c0nlifatus more
formidable tn the military force under him. and
that he had placed guard OF twelve men over
the house in which Captain Newman and the
prisoner were, with Instructions TO shoot down
any party of men who might attempt forcible
entrance This too much for the Demo
cratic Judge The Supreme Court had to give
way before the military tribunal, and there the
matter ended.
The above states one or two falsehoods, which
should be corrected:
| l. The writ of habeas corpus was not issued
by the Supreme Court. but by Judge PERKINS
sitting in chambers.
2 1t is true that Captain NEWMAN did refuse
to obey the writ; that Judge PERKINS did say
that the streets Of the city should run with blood
if the writ not obeyed. and that he issued an
attachment But it is not true that the Judge
caved and let the matter drop at that point Oh
the contrary, he was informed, in less than two
hours, that tine man should be sun endered; and
he was surrendered by Colonel DARLINGTON il
person, and the case tried by the Judge, and nc
resistance has since been made TO a single writ
