e is to be done. Brave Armistead, coming up, overleaps the wall and calls on all to follow. Brave men follow his lead. Armistead is now among the abandoned cannon, making ready to turn them against their former friends. Our men are widening the breach of the penetrated and broken lines of the Federals. But, now the enemy has made a stand, and are rallying. It is a critical moment. That side must win which can command instant reinforcements. They come not to Armistead, but they come to Webb, and they come to him from every side in overwhelming numbers in our front and with enclosing lines on either flank. They are pushed forward. Armistead is shot down with mortal wounds and heavy slaughter is made of those around him. The final moment has come when there must be instant flight, instant surrender, or instant death. Each alternative is shared. Less than 1,000 escape of all that noble division which in the morning numbered 4,700; all the rest either killed, wounded or captured

In giving the roster of the Black Eagle Company, of Cumberland county, Va, I venture to say that the morale of that company could be taken as a fair representation of the Virginia troops. In its rank and file were soldiers who had been educated at the University of Virginia, the Virginia Military Institute, Princeton, New Jersey, and the very best medical institutions of learning in the United States. Along with these soldiers of c

capture of Baton Rouge. By seizing the official capital of Louisiana, the Confederates would have obtained a twofold advantage. The moral effect would have been considerable, while the capture of this place would have secured to them the possession of that portion of the river which receives the waters of Red River—a necessary line of communication, as we have said, for their supplies. The Arkansas, which had received a new sheathing of iron and cotton, was to unite with two gun-boats, the Webb and the Music, lying in Red River, and co-operate with Breckenridge's division in an attack upon Baton Rouge. The Federals had two gun-boats and the ram Essex with which to oppose them on the water, and on land four thousand men debilitated by sickness, with eighteen cannon. They had not been able to entrench themselves effectively, when on the 5th of August, at one o'clock in the morning, Breckenridge's vanguard opened the fight. Williams' troops formed a semicircle outside of the city,

ness of the administration appeared conspicuously in America. April was almost gone before Abercrombie, who was to be next in command to the Earl of Loudoun, with Webb and two battalions, sailed from Plymouth for New York. Loudoun waited for his transports, that were to carry tents, ammunition, artillery, and intrenching tools, ovision for five thousand men, and a great quantity of stores. He brought intelligence that a French army was in motion to attack the place; and chap. X.} 1756. Webb, with the forty-fourth regiment, was ordered to hold himself in readiness to march to its defence. But nothing was done. The regiments of New England, with the pith full hands. Expressions of triumphant ecstasy broke from Montcalm; but, to allay all jealousy of the red men, he razed the forts and left Oswego a solitude. Webb, who should have relieved the place, went chap.

t or terrify with a popgun. To Bouquet was assigned the watch on the frontiers of Carolina. Stanwix, with about two thousand men, had charge of the West, while Webb was left highest in command, with nearly six thousand men, to defend the avenue of Lake George; and on the twentieth day of June, the Earl of Loudoun, having first on his party suddenly, terrified them by their yells, and, after killing many, took one hundred and sixty prisoners. To-morrow or next day, said the captives, General Webb will be at the fort with fresh troops. No matter, said Montcalm; in less than twelve days I will have a good story to tell about them. From the timid Webb the red men, of the favor done you by the great Onontio; but we neither love you nor esteem you the more for it; we love the man, and not what hangs on his outside. Webb, at Fort Edward, had an army of four thousand, and might have summoned the militia from all the near villages to the rescue. He sent nothing but a letter, with an

What, cried the expiring hero, do they run already? Go, one of you, to Colonel Burton; bid him march Webb's regiment with all speed to Charles River to cut off the fugitives. Four days before, he had looked forward to early death with dismay. Now, God be praised, I die happy. These were his words as his spirit escaped in the blaze of his glory. Night, silence, the rushing tide, veteran discipline, the sure inspiration of genius, had been his allies; his battle-field, high over the ocean-river, was the grandest theatre on earth for illustrious deeds; his victory, one of the most momentous in t
