HISTORICAL NClDElTS or CLIFTON.
BY Az OLD SETTLER.


It was in 1857 about the meridian Of Mr.
Manning's prosperity, that the Prescott folks
became ambitious, and ventured into city
government. This left the outside territory
free TO organize anew, so out Of the old town
Of Prescott, the towns Of Clifton and Oak
Grove were formed, Thus On the It'll day of
April 1857, Clifton became fully identified as
a town, by holding her first town-meeting
and clecting officers.
Although the name OF Clifton was recog-
nired everywhere, as properly belonging to
the neighborhood, the post-office, mills &c,
yet it was really, until this time, the town Of
Prescott.
At this first town meeting held at the house
Of A. P Manning, sixty votes were polled.
Q. Strahl. f. l.. Perkins and George w.
Teachout were elected Supervisors, --strahl
Chairman; Jas NJ Bailey, f. L. Perkins and
b. F. Pierce, justices of the Peace; II. N. Bas-
com, Town Clerk; w p Mckay, Assessor;
Theophilus Manning, Treasurer; j. s Copley,
Superintendent Of Schools A. W. Bascom, A.
Hickok and g. w. Teachout, Constables
and Theophilus Manning, overseer of High
ways, for all of Clifton, the town not yet being
subdivided into road districts.
The latter Office was decidedly the heaviest
Of all the burthens in the new town. Mr.
Manning, however, magma Aously rejected
the Treasurer's Office, the st in the town and
undertook the highway business, and Dexter
B. Bailey was afterwards, al a special town
meeting, elected Treasurer.
The highway tax levied by the Supervisors
for this year was three mills on the dollar.
A bylaw prohibiting swine from running at
large was adopted.
As the new town was part Of the old town
Of Prescott, it must of course assume its por-
ton pro rata Of the debts, hence two hundred
and seventy-fve dollars was voted for debts
and incidentals; enc hundred dollars to erect
bridge across the creek near King & Good
ellis mill; fifty dollars to repair the bridge at
Manning's; one hundred dollars to grade the
hill north Of Manning's mill; twenty-five dol
las to fix the road up the rsvine south of
King & GoodelPs mill, and twenty-five dol
lars for school purposes.
The total amount charged to the Treasurer
this year in his warrant was thirteen hundred
and ffty-three dollars and thirteen cents; this
OF course, must have included state, county,
and all taxes
Mr.. Perkins having removed from the town,
Jonathan Bailey was appointed Supervisor on
the 2lst Of December, to Gil the vacancy.
The current expenses Of the town for this
year; except for roads and bridges, was but
trifiing,- AS for instance the assessing Of prop
erty cost only nine dollars, and that of making
out the tax roll ten dollars and sixty cents.
Look at this We srasping servants of modern
times, who charge light times this sum for as
sessing, and four to five times for the tax roll,
IN towns no better than Clifton then was

his last desperate charge. The Fed:
eral army was put to fight, the
country disappointed and the heart of
the. enemy filled with joy unspeakable
at his apparent success. The Federal
army had met with serious defeat.
some cause must be assigned, some
one must be blamed. Whoshall it be !
the question was soon solved, Patter-
son had failed to hold Joe Johnston and
Mcdowell (who never drank q drop Of
spirits in his life) was drunk. The
General-in-Chief notified Patterson
that he would offer battle on Tuesday
and that he must occupy Johnston un
til after that day. Patterson held
Johnston until the following Friday.
Bull run was not fought until Sunday
and yet the delay was not reported to
Patterson. Was he to blame for the
defeat! 1t is an astounding fact that
Notwithstanding Patterson's army was
within telegraphic communication
with Washington, nothing was heard
of the delay to offer battle on Tuesday,
nor of the result of the battle on Sum
day, until the following Monday, when
the report of the defeat was made
known through the Philadelphia
papers. Patterson's army was COM
posed almost entirely of three months
men whose terms of service expired
about the latter part Of July. In fact.
some expired previous to the move
ment to Charlestown and actually left
the field with an enemy in their imme-
date front. I recall the fact how
earnestly General Patterson pleaded
with them to stay just ten days longer,
but they all, with three honorable ex-
ceptions, turned deaf ear to his en-
treaties.
Gradually his army dissolved and he
was honorably discharged.
He served in the regular army in
1872, again in the war with Mexico,
and when the war trumpet was sound
ed in 1851, true to his brave patriotic
instincts, he was among the very first
to offer his services to the country.
When the correct history of the cam
paign in the Shenandoah valley shall be
written, few names will shine with
greater brightness than that of Major
General Robert Patterson.
