learned that the British feet was in

climbed an eminence within quar-
ter Of mile OF the village In order to
ascertain the strength of the enemy.
Being convinced after his inspection
that we had no force available that
could successfully resist them, he sent
, note to Mr.. Pleasonton by vidette.
advising him to see that the best care
was taken of the books and papers OF
the state department
Acting at once upon this authority
Mr.. Pleasonton purchased some coarse
linen and had 1t made into bags Of
suitable size, in which he, assisted by
others in the Office, placed the books
and other papers.
While engaged in this work. Gen.
oral Armstrong, then secretary of war,
passing the state department on his
way to his own office. remarked that
he thought they were UNNECESSARILY
alarming themselves. as he did not
think the British were serious in their
Intentions Of coming to Washington.
Fortunately Mr.. Pleasanton was Of a
different opinion, and observed that 1t
was the part Of prudence to take meas
ures to preserve these valuable pa.
pers of the revolutionary government.
Had Mr.. Pleasanton delayed but few
days, had he followed the advice Of
the secretary of war, an irreparable
loss would have been sustained. For
the papers which Mr.. Pleasanton had
placed in the coarse linen bags COM

atoms from the state laws on the theory
that the federal government, in Great,

prerogatives of sovereignty.
The fight has arisen out of the at

the land in question had been fenced
the federal court issued the injunction
The case was appealed to the supreme
court, and it was advanced for ora
