between savages ana regular troops
when for the first time they are brought
in contact. Had the sagaoious young
aid-de-camp been in command differ
ent tale might have been told, but it is
doubtful. Ambuscaded(in dense forest,
exposed to the murderous fire of foe
unseen, the British regulars, in the
words of Washington, IRAN before the
French and Indians like sheep before
dogs More than half their number
were killed or wounded, and the gen.
eral commanding, himself mortally
wounded, was with difficulty carried
from the field. Nearly all his brother
officers were killed, and Washington
was almost the only officer of distinc-
tion who escaped from the field with
life and honor. Here, for the third time
in his short career, his life was in i'm
minent peril, az he had two horses shot
from under him and his coat was four
times pierced by bullets His seal was
shot away and was found, so years aft
erward, upon the site of the field of bat
tie. Throughout the terrible contest he
preserved his courage and serenity, and
to his wise measures were due the ex-
trication of the defeated remnant from
the dangers that still surrounded them.
His heroic conduct and imperturbable
spirit deeply impressed the public mind,
and after the frontier was again
left unprotected through the withdraw
al of the regulars he was appointed to
command the militia raised for its de-
fense Three years of arduous toll fol-
lowed, during which he raised forces
maintained high standard of discipline
and established a long line of frontier
posts, thus paving the way for the
eventual reduction of Fort Duquesne,
which was at last accomplished in No
vember, 1853.
Washington's services in these diff
cult campaigns were i'll requited. He
rarely INDUCED in repinings or ungen-
erous reflections, but he wrote to his
brother Augustine in 1853:
$50 little am dispirited at what has
happened that am always ready and
always willing to render my country
any services am capable of, but never
again upon the terms l have done, hsv-
ing suffered much in my private for

CHAPTER VI.
AS AN INDIAN FIGHTER.

AS AN INDIAN FIGHTER.
Opinion was divided as to the success
Of this expedition. but its commander
received the thanks of the legislature
and his fame was heralded throughout
the colonies. He was by common con-
sent considered as eligible to supreme
command of the troops about to be raised
Sor frontier defense, but about this time
an order being promulgated from the
home Office that general and field OFF,
GERS of provincial troops should have no
rank when serving with those appointed
by the crown he Indignantly resigned
his commission.
He could now with good grace retire
to his recently acquired estate of Mount
Vernon and devote himself to the agri-
cultural pursuits for which he had so
strong an inclination. He writes to his
mother, who urges him not to visit the
frontier again:
HoSoRED MADAM-H it is in my power to
avoid going to the Ohio again, shall; bat if
the command is pressed upon me by the gen
eral voice of the country, and offered upon
such terms as cannot be objected against, it
would renect olshonoT upOA NE 10 IeA Use H.
And that, am sure, must, or ought to, give
you greater uneasiness than my going in al
honorable command.
He had no intention of going. but
when, in the spring Of 1855, the British
general, Braddock, who had been sent
over to conduct the campaign against
the French, invited him to join his mil
itary family as volunteer aid-de-camp,
his sense of duty and love Of fighting
overcame his inclination.
The history of that disastrous cam
paign is that of almost every conflict

ieir arms and retreating with the hon.
brs of war.
During this brief campaign which
cannot be considered a very successful
one-Washington had struck the first
blow of the conflict known as the Seven
Years war. His capitulation, it is in
teresting to note, was made on the 4th
of July, day made memorable Fl years
later by the declaration of rights of
these very colonists who were in the
year 1864 so valiantly defending the
honor of the crown.

The district attorney, according to the

of the dinner be allowed to remain
quiet instead of having them brought
out in court. He has lately received
numerous letters signed by prominent
people urging him in the interest of
society, to allow the indictments to re-
