the only sign of war we could see on
either side OF the river AT first many
moved out of the village, but the mill
was kept running. and after a little
while they began to come back. The
farms on each side of the river looked
as peaceful as they ever looked. The
command had grown rapidly. Thurst
Miles of my own neighbour God had
come to enlist shortly after Dri and
enlisted, and was now in my company.
In September Gen. Brown was
ordered to the western frontier, and
Capt. Forsyth came to command us.
Early in the morning Of October 2, a
man came gallOping up the shore with
a warning, saying that the river was
black with boats little way down.
Some of us climbed to the barracks
roof, from which we could see and
count them. There were 40, with two
gunbOats. Cannonading began before
the town was fairly awake. First a
big ball went over the AOuse-tops,
hitting a cupola on a church roof and
sending bell and timbers with a cash
into somebody's dooryard. Then all
over the village hens began to cackle
and children to wall. People came run
ming out of doors halt dressed. A
woman, gathering chips in her door
yard, dropped them lifted her dress
above her head, and ran for the house
Unable to see her way, she went around
in a wide circle for a minute or two
while the soldiers were laughing
