The command of the battery now devolved upon Lieut. W. W. Hardwicke, of Lynchburg, who directed the shots admirably, and exhibited much personal bravery. Capt. Miller's battery, from Rock bridge, opened upon the enemy in the thicket, with canister shot, and sent many a poor Hessian to his last account. From another letter, addressed to a gentleman in this city, we glean the following incidents: In the second charge, while leading in the front, Lieut. Lewis Thompson received a shot through his body and another in his arm, just as he had shouted, Come on, my brave boys, follow me! He fell into the arms of Col. Johnson, who says he was as brave a man as he ever saw. Capt.

Among objects of interest to many were, in the early years of the Republic, the persons of Washington and Jefferson, and, in his time, the picturesque figure of Jackson; and among natural wonders, Niagara Falls, the Rock Bridge of Virginia, and the Mammoth Cave. This, after its discovery by Hutchins in 1809, took its place in the attractions of Kentucky with the furry cap of Boone. The Indians, of course, supplied an unfailing interest. Their habits, as in Bartramac Weld the Irishman, author of a widely read book on the United States and Canada, wrote one of his thirty-eight letters from Jefferson's then unfinished establishment at Monticello. He made mediocre pencil sketches of Niagara Falls, and the Rock Bridge of Virginia, but secured a picture of Mount Vernon from a friend.
