MERtEE's GLORIOUS MEMORIES.
THE RATTLE OF ONE HUNDRD YEARS
AGo-TRRRIBLE SLAUGHTER OF THE
HEssIANs-A CRUSHING BLOW.

THE RATTLE OF ONE HUNDRD YEARS
AGo-TRRRIBLE SLAUGHTER OF THE
HEssIANs-A CRUSHING BLOW.
One hundred years ago Monda, Phil
adelphia, then in possession of the Brit
ish troops, was in frenzy OF excitement
over the news from Fort Mercer, where a
Hessian force of twelve hundred men
had been totally defeated and literally
cut to pieces in an unsuccessful attelnpt
TO storm the works so gallantly defended
by the indomitable Continentals. Anx-
ious to close the Delaware against the in
vaders' fleet, Washington had done every
thing possible to obstruct the passage of
the river, and principally relied upon the
''chevaux-de-frieze" at Forts Mercer and
Mifflln. Efforts were made to render
the forts as strong as possible against at
tack from the land, and to this end the
works at Fort Mercer, on the land side
OF Red Bank, were being speedily COM
pleted when. just century ago Monday,
a force of twelve hundred Hessians, un-
der Count Donop, suddenly appeared
from the adjacent woods and demanded
the unconditional surrender Of the gar
rison. Col. Christopher Greene, who
commanded the American forces, some
four hundred Rhode Island troops, re-
fused, and the attack began. Under
cover of the cannonading of his batter
les, on came Donop and his Hessians.
Their approach was raked by fianking
fire from the American galleys, and just
enough resistance was made by the
troops in Fort Mercer to give the defence
the appearance Of reality. The Hessians
entered the outer works in two columns,
and proceeded with the shout of victors
to storm the redoubt. Suddenly the gar
rison revealed themselves in a continu-
Gus sheet of flame; fire was opened from
unsuspected batteries, and hundreds OF
the Hessians in an incredibly short space
of time were killed and wounded. In
spite of all efforts TO prevent it, the as
sailants broke and took to flight. The
batteries of the galleys harassed their re.
treat. The acknowledged less of the
Hessians was four hundred in killed and
wounded. Count Donop was among the
fatally injured, and tWenty-four othel
officers were killed or wounded
The American loss was eight kill
ed and twenty-nine wounded. One
can lnaSlDe WnaI panic was createt
among the British and their Tory SYM
pathizers here, and what hopes must have
filed and thrilled patriotic hearts whel
their shattered remnants came scurryiDs
back to Philadelphia. Congress passed
a vote of thanks to the brave garrison, ,ant
presented the three principle command
ers with swords and the victory theI
won was but the harbinger Of the clost
of the glorious struggle which ended b!
the recognition of American Independ
ence.

A stran Re Burglary.

A very amusing incident occurred one
night recently at the residence of III, A.
Bennett, IN New Preston Conn. Mr..
q. y. Kenney and wife, of New York,
were staying there for short time, and
on the night in question they retired to
their room at an early hour. Mr., Ksn~
ney took the precau tion to place large
roll of bills in the heel of his boot. The
outside bill happened to be 10 note.
Accordingly, after arranging his money
carefully in the boot, and thinking that
no burglar could find it, he retired for
the night. What was his astonishment
in the morning to find the $40 bill gone.
Search was made, throughout his apart
ment, but no trace of the missing money
could be found. 1t was certainly very
mysteri ,us. Only one Of the roll of bills
was gone. After spending many hours
In the search Mrs. Kenney removed q
stand and noticed one corner of the lost
bill protruding from small mouse hole.
The little burglar had entered the apart
ment and succeeded indragging the
bill the whole length of the room to its
hole, where it luckily caught on q nail
The mole was SO small that the bill could
only be extracted in small pieces. The
burglar is still at large, and the
wner of the house offers a large reward
for his apprehension,

DID JEFFERSON DAVIS SAVE AN
DREW JOHNSON,S LIFEP' Bse

Had President johnson a. speeial rea-
son for sparing the life of Jefferson
Davis and delaying hisstrial till popular
excitement had in measure, subsided?
This question the Atlanta Constitution
in recent issue puts and undertakes to
answer, adducing Documents copied
from the original in President john
sons possession. The first is letter to
the President from Humphrey Marshall,
dated April 26, 1866. and inclosing the
statement from Alexander g. Greens
wood, of New Orleans, then engaged in
the service of New York Cfirm, but
during the war a colonel in the Confed-
crate army. He was not friend Of Mr..
Davis's, considering that he had been
unfairly treated by him during the war.
This statement was to, the effect that a
conspiracy had been entered into at
Bristol, Tenn, in 1851 to hang Mr..
johnson ON his return from Washing
ton, the people being infuriated because
of his great Union speech made in the
Senate, but that President Da Wis, hear
ing of the danger that threaten &c, warn
ed Greenwood of it and ordered to him
to run the train on to Jonesborough,
thus battling the lynchers. In inclos>
ing this Mr.. Marshall wrote to Mr..
johnson: "I know. were I in your place
and such facts were connected with me
or crisis in my life, and he who had
so served me was situated as Davis is, 1
should like to know the facts. write
this, then, more in kindness to you than
to your State prisoner" t.Hie..

postmaster of this city, for embezzhng
money order funds 10 the amount of ST.

office, who converts to his own use or
loans any portion of the money order
funds, shall be deemed guilty of embez-

A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION.

The Woodruff scientific expedition
round the world which was to have left
New York last week. has now been post
poned until Nav Is, 1873. Two reasons
are assigned for the delay. First. the
steamship selected for the voyage was
found to require extensive alterations.
Next, that the number OF persons en-
gaging passage al the rate OF $1,000 each
for the trip, was too small to justify the
outlay that would have boen incur d. 1t
s now stated Oy Gen. Macauley, the Sc
cretary OF the expedition, but as apes
sibility rather than as fact, that hr.
Roach. the well-known builder of iron
steamships, contemplates building big
iron ship at his yard at Chester. on tina
Delaware, tor the expedition to ge around

mMAR AGAINST WAR;

A French journal called the "Olwe
Branch" whose motto is "War against
war-rlght surpasses might" has been
published in Berlin. The incident is
thought by political observers to indi cate
an improved state of feeling between
France and Germany. There is no rea-
son why the two people should hate each
other forever. 1t is true they have been
az war for many centuri IS, but the laurels
of victory and the calamities of strife
have been equally distribut between
the two. There Is nothing that the great,
Industrious masses of both nations more
desire than to be permitted to cultivate
their farms in peace. For long time
after the battle of Waterloo the animosi-
ty of Frenchmen against England was as
great as it ever has been against Germany
yet, "time at last made all things even,"
and the two finally became allies, light
ing together against Russia In fact
France seems to be more prosperous now
than Germany, to whom she paid five
millions of francs. t-- 0l'

"The socialists have been showing

a congress of the International at

forty delegates representing branches
in all parts of Europe aud in The Uni

what was going on! The executive

secretary. 1t wound up by saying
that great changes are proceeding in
public opinion here, and that it is evi
dent to all thai the false republic cannot
last much longer In its present form,
anu that unless the socialistic move
ment shall reform it, a monarchy, or
rather an oligarchy will be established
in a few years-which brings it very
near. The platform adopted by the
congress WAS the old one, with which
the world is tolerably familiar, and
which may be said in general terms
to consist in the overthrow of all ex-
istfng institutions. The fundamen-
tai plank is however, the abolition of
private property and. the "expropria-

his aim was bad. The blank cartridge

INDIANAPOLIS, October 22.-The fol>
lowing editorial will appear in the jour
nal Tomorrow. 1t expresses Senator
Morton's views upon the duty of republi-
eau mem bers of Congress, having been
read to him, and received his hearty ap-
pfoval az embracing his ideas: "While
there are few republicans who can give
full and hearty endorsement to every
act and declaration made By the Presi>
dent, which go to make up what are
known as his southern and civil>service
policies, yet we have seen nothing taken
either separately or collectively, to
justify the republicans in distrusting
either his patriotism or his republl-
canisml There seems to be a feeling on
The par of those who disapprove of GER
tain acts of the President, He is an Or
lginal republican, and has been tested
for twenty years as a soldier and civilian,
and has never wavered or been found
wanting in his devotion to the great fun
damental doctrines of the Republican
party. He was elected as a republican,
and it is impossible for him, with the
present organization of parties, even if
he should desire, to be other than re-
publican President, not in an offensive
partisan sense, but in his devotion to the
principles and desire for the perpetuity
of the Republican party. Until it is de-
monstrated that he has not this devotion
and this desire, the republican in Cong
ress should not break with him on mere
questions of policy. President Hayes has
a most difficult role, and instead of receiv
ing the unfriendly criticisms and attacks
of his party friends he should have their
support and be given their best and
truest advice. Tne Presidents para
mount duty is to the country, and if he
were to place simple party success above
public interest he would render himself
hateful to every right-minded man and
infamous in history"
