companies of horse at Princeton. Tnfther
then Washington was marching that winter

another blow Mt a weak point. BY daybreak
he was near Princeton, and moved with the
maiu army straight for the town. Mercer was
detached with three hundred men to destroy
the bridge which gave the most direct con-
nection with CORVALLIS. The enemy had
started at sunrise, and one regiment was
already over the bridge when they saw the
Americans Colonel Mawhood at once re-
crossed tho bridge. and both Americans and
English made for some high commanding
ground. The Americsas reached the desired
point first. and sharp fght ensued. The
American rifles did great execution, but with
out bayonets they could not stand a charge.
Mercer was mortally wounded and his mon
began to retreat. As Mawhood advanced, he
came upon the main American army. march
ing rapidly to the scene Of action. The
new Pennsylvania militia in the van
wavered under the British fire. and Began to
give way. Washington forgetting, as he was
too apt to do, bis position, his Importance,
and everything but the nsht, rode rapidly to
the front. reined his horse within thirty
yards of the enemy, and called TO his men TO
stand firm. The waverins ceased. the Amer
leans advanced. tho British halted, and then
gave way. The seventeenth Regiment was
badly cut up, broken, and dispersed. The
other two fled into The town made n brief
stand gave way again, and were driven In

the bridges and, leaving CORVALLIS, who had
