THE SON4 OF THE VERMONrERs

The correspondence in the Free Press of
last week concerning the authorship of the
Song of the Vermonters, reminds us that
about year ago the Free Press wrote as fol-
lows;
portions of Col. Joyce's address in the
House Of Representatives, on the reception
of the statue of Ethan Allen by Congress,
have been somewhat criticised-as his state
ment that Ethan Allen has been supposed to
be the author of VermOntsrs' rallying song;
HO all to the borders, VermOnters come
down." There is, we believe, not the slight
est reason for OtUributing the authorship Of
that stirring lyric to Ethan Allen, nor, SO
far as we are aware, is there any good reason
for suppOslng that it was written by Whit
tier. II is not contained, we believe, in any
of Whitter's complete" works, nor have
we ever heard that he acknowledged it as

In the next issue of the Burlington Clipper
appeared the following letter from Whittier,

own amusement, but have never desired TO
lncKnOwledRe the authorship; however some
body has evidently detected me, aud | may
as well own now as mine what the public
have imputed to me in spite of my own
wishes"
Aud yet the Free Press and Roberts have
just heard that Whittier wrote it not re-
markable slowness for the Free Press, but a
little torpid for Roberts.

this valiant corps, oyerpowered by
superior numbers, was entirely broken, and
most Of the men either killed or taken pris-
oners. Among the latter was their wounded
commander.
He maintained his post above two hours,
and often repulsed tho enemy. but finding
that his men had expended all their amuni
ton, and Lieut. Col Breyman's corps not
yet appearing, he was obliged to think Of
retreat with the dragons. Crhe Provincials,
Canadians and Indians being already cut
off from him.
Col. Breyman had rotTeceived the smallest
information of the engagement. he arrived
on the same ground and on the same day,
but not till the action was over.
Instead of meeting his friends as lie ex-
peeted. he found himself briskly attacked on
all sides.
Notwithstanding the severe fatigue they
had undergone, his troops behaved with
great vigor and. resolution, and drove the
Americans from several bills ON which they
were posted.
They we're however at length oyerpower-
ed and their ammunition being unfortunately
expended they were obliged with great re-
luctance to abandon two pieces of artillery
they had brought with them. and retreated
with good order in the dusk of the evening.
Here follows his estimate of the impor-
lance of the results Of this engagement.
Accustomed to success as the royal troops
had been in the proceeding part of the cam
paign, they felt unusual modification from
this unexpected check. Though it did not
diminish their courage, it abated their conf
dence, it deranged every plan for pursuing
the advantages which had been previously
obtained.
Among other endorsements, it reduced
them to the alternative of hating till the
supplies were brought forward from Fort
George, OF of advancing without them, at
the risk of being starved. The former being
adopted, the army was detained until the
18th of September before they crossed Hud-
sons river
This unavoidable delay gave time and OPP
portunity to the Americans to assemble in
great numbers"
This author writes like true Britisher,
with no very exalted opinion of the Ameri-
cans. As an instance of their ''meanness' to
British prisoners he says, referring to the
siege of ''NINETY-sIx," in South Carolina:
Colonel Lee had the meanness land lnhu-
manity to march the British prisoners he
brought with him from Fort Augusta, in full
sight of the garrison, accompanied by mu-
sic, playing mean Yankee tunes, preceded
by the British standard reversed.
At length the garrison became much dis
tressed for water. Their only supply de-
pended on the negroes who were sent out at
night. naked, and whose color In darkness
rendered them undistinRuishable5 TO the
Americans" l'oi- 4i-g no Bfi
In the other work, "Anbury's Letters from
the Interior PARTS of America" second vol
ume, published in London. in 1888, are many
items and anecdotes of peculiar interest,
which may work into another letter.
