Roxbury (the Jamaica Plain Church), gives also an interesting history of the origin of the term Yankee.—See his Hist. Am. Rev, i. 312-13. The detachment under Percy on their way to Lexington found every house on the road deserted. The militia were engaged in the distant conflict, and the main body of the detachment met no opplight infantry and grenadiers of the detachment which had been severely engaged in battle in the defiles between Concord and Lexington, now marched in front, while Percy's brigade of fresh troops brought up the rear and provided the strong flanking parties of the regulars. Gordon says the British were incommoded by the wind blowinperated at the cruelty and barbarity of the Rebels, who scalped and cut off the ears of some of the wounded men who fell into their hands.

There they received a day's provisions, and near midnight, after wading through wet marshes, that are now covered by a stately town, they took the road through West Cambridge to Concord. They will miss their aim, said one of a party who observed their departure. What aim? asked Lord Percy, who overheard the remark. Why, the cannon at Concord, was the answer. Percy hastened to Gage, who instantly directed that no one should be suffered to leave the town. But Warren had already, at ten o'clock, despatched William Dawes through Roxbury to Lexington, and at the same time desired Paul Revere to set off by way of Charlestown. Revere stopped only to engage a friend to raise the concerted signals, and five minutes before the sentinels received the order to prevent it, two friends rowed him past the Somerset man of war across Charles river. All was still,

hat they had made the junction, they could think only of their own safety. While the cannon kept the Americans at bay, Percy formed his detachment into a square, enclosing the fugitives, who lay down for rest on the ground, their tongues hanging ton. Its best troops, fully two-thirds of its whole number, and more than that proportion of its strength, were now with Percy. And yet delay was sure to prove ruinous. The British must fly speedily and fleetly, or be overwhelmed. Two wagons sennt prayer from their minister, did not halt even for rest till they reached Cambridge. Aware of his perilous position, Percy, after resting but half an hour, renewed the retreat. The light infantry marched in front, the grenadiers next, while th, they must have surrendered. But a little after sunset, the survivors escaped across Charlestown neck. The troops of Percy had marched thirty miles in ten hours; the party of Smith, in six hours, had retreated twenty miles; the guns of the ship

gton had begun a fight with a detachment that outnumbered them as twelve to one. They did not make one gallant attempt during so long an action, wrote Smith, who was smarting under his wound, and escaped captivity only by the opportune arrival of Percy. Men are prone to fail in equity towards those whom their pride regards as their inferiors. The Americans, slowly provoked and long suffering, treated the prisoners with tenderness, and nursed the wounded as though they had been members of their own families. They even invited Gage to send out British surgeons for their relief. Yet Percy could degrade himself so far as to calumniate the countrymen who gave him chase, and officially lend himself to the falsehood, that the rebels scalped and cut of the ears of some of the wounded who fell into their Chap. XXIX.} April. hands. He should have respected the name which he bore; famed as it is in history and in song; and he should have respected the men before whom he fled. The fals

to provide for their escape, remained in town to share the hardships of a siege, ill provided, and exposed to the insults of an exasperated enemy. Words cannot describe their sufferings. Connecticut still hoped for a cessation of hostilities, and for that purpose, Johnson, so long its agent abroad, esteemed by public men in England for his moderation and ability, repaired as one of its envoys to Boston; but Gage only replied by a narrative which added new falsehoods to those of Smith and Percy. By a temperate answer he might have confused New England; the effrontery of his assertions, made against the clearest evidence, shut out the hope of an agreement. No choice was left to the Massachusetts committee of safety but to drive out the British army, or perish in the attempt; even though every thing conspired to make the American forces incapable of decisive action. There was no unity in the camp. At Roxbury, John Thomas had command, and received encomiums for the good order wh
