Highland railway from Inverness,
Scotland, says Danbury Ne,ps letter.
We got down there to visit the battle

johnson would have anlce time raising
an army to displace hfF. Grant. But
Charies Edward, prince of the de-

Scotland, raised an army and marched
into England, retreated back into
Scotland before the Duke OF Cumber-

army OF seven thousand men here at

done was to take the money contributed
