A BRILLIANT SCHEME.

wAR-cLoUD BURSTS AT BENNINGTON.
Howe was in triumphant possession of
New York. The Hudson above was feebly
guarded 10y the Colonial army. The posses
sionof the line Of the Hudson, from the lakes
tothe ocean, by Great Britain, would effectu-
ally separate the New England rebels from
their Northern compatriots, and render their
subsection piecemeal task the Kings armies
might undertake at their leisure. a plan
was accordingly made to obtain military
possession of the lake and the Hudson by
marching an army from Canada supple
mented at the proper time by movement
of llowe's forces mp the Hudson. In the
autumn of 177G Sir Guy Carleton had OBJ
tanned command of Lake Champlain down
TO Fort Ticonderoga. The plan of the Brit
ish was to send one expedition, under Bur
goync, from Canada up Lake Champlain;
another 10y Lake Ontario, under St. Leger,
was to land at Oswego, march TO the Mo-
hawk, and descend the valley of that river:
Howe was to ascend the Hudson, and the
three expeditions were to unite at Albany.
Burgoyne assembled Lake Champlain with an
army Of 5000 men-half of them British
regulars, 5000 German mercenaries, under
command of Major General Reidescl, and
the remainder Canadians and Indians. The
story Of events, ending with
THE BATTLE or BENNINGTON,
we copy from Lossing's Pictorial Field
Book of the Revolution; The conflict
called the Battle of Bennington was part
of the operation connected with Burgoyne' s
invasion from Canada. The delay he hl3
experienced at Skenesborough, and on his
way to Fort Edward, had so reduced his
stores and provision that replenishmeu
was necessary. Informed that the Ameri-
cans had large quantity of these, and o.
cattle and horses, at Bennington and in q "a
vicinity, he resolved, with the advice OF
Major Skene, to send detachment OF h
army thither to capture them. Bo
| Phillips and Reidesel, the most eXperienca
of his generals, were opposed to the m
! ure but Burgoyne, actuated by an OF
weening confidence in his strength, aud de-
| ceived as to the extent of the Royal 81
! party in the colonies, despatched LieutCu
| ant-Colonel Baum thther with five hun.

began that era of strife which gave birth to
the name of Green Mountain Boys" which
Developed an Ethan Allen and a long list of
compatriots whose deeds have been cele-
bratcd in song and story. Allen undertook
to defend the settlers before the courts at
Albany, but their deeds to their lands were
set aside 10y the Judges, aud verdicts against
them were readily obtained. Allen was
urged to go home and persuade his Green
Mountain friends to make the best terms
they could with their new landlords.
" Might" the Workers said to him, often
prevails against right" =" The gods of the
valleys are not the gods of the hills" was
Aliens mysterious answer, and, when asked
10 explain his meaning, the questioner was
told that if he would "come to Bennington,
the sense would he made clear"
Every act of injustice and oppression,
every attempt to dispoSsess settlers of their
lands, only intensified their oppoSition and

the Nermouters were openly defying the
power of New York. AT Ticonderoga, Hub
tain Boys exhibited their devotion to the
cause Of the colonies; but when Vermont
asked Of the Continental Congress recogni
iiou of her Independence, her petition was
refused. Difference to New York was more
powerful at Philadelphia, in the case of Yer
mont, than a SENSE of Iilht aud Justice.
Allen and his compatriuts foreSaw that the

Vermont the sacrifice of her Independence

h.re for nothing from Congress. Their

more if they could be obtained, and di-

sources were within his grasp. But, alas

THE UNION tsa
was the end of "A long and heroic strug- 'fa
gle for Independence reproduction on IA
IA smaller stage of the conflict between -
the colonies and the mother country a.
To the settlers of the region known as r
Vermont, the struggle in which they
embarked involved personal rights no
less dear, general principles no less inn
portant, than those for which the colonies
were contending; and they maintained theil
cause with "a spirit and resolution in war, :
wisdom and ability in council, that were in
no wise inferior to the qualities displaye,
by the men of the thirteen original colonies
Briefly summarized, the course of the long
series of events eliminating in the erection
of Vermont into a free and sovereign
state, was as follows: The first civilized
settlement within the present limits of
Vermont was made in 1924, by the cree
ton of Fort Dummer in the township

the frontier ground Of warning tribes gzs
aud had been permanently occupied VA
neither by Indian nor pale-face. From III
the date of the establishing of Fort :,ls
Drummer, surveys began to he made nv
and civilization began to claim the %-%
land. The King of Great Britain had IL
repeatedly recommended to the Assem- n
bly, of New Hampshire to provide for -
the support of Fort Dummer, and it
was generally understood to he within
the jurisdiction of that province whose
limits west of the Connecticut river
were, therefore, supposed to be cock
tensive with those of Massachusetts
and Connecticut. During the colonial wars

settling this region went rapidly forwar
under grants of land by the royal Governo
of New Hampshire until, in 1862, some on,
hundred thirty-eight townships six mile
square were held under grants from Ne,
Hampshire. Hence the historic nam,
" New Hampshire Grants" by which thi
region became known. Then New York
set up a claim To the territory west of
the Connecticut, founded ON grants to
the Duke Of York a century before.
Under an application Of the Governor
of New York, supported by an alleged
petition Of the settlers, the British
king in 1904 ordered that the Connec-
ticut river be the boundary line be-
tween New Hampshire and New York.
Then arose that fierce historic contro-
Versy between the settlers and the
authorities of New York, in the heat of
which Nermont's distinctive character
istics were formed. New York con
tended that the Connecticut river had
always been its eastern boundary; that, |
therefore, the grants made by New
Hampshire were illegal aud void; that
the settlers must surrender their char I
ters, and repurchase their lands under -
