NI» An American Account of ‘ the Rout. Insomnia: Details Jun Blade Plbue by I Voter-I. Mr. John Wentworth, of Chicago, who compiled a history of Fort Dearborn. states that while collecting tents for producing his narrative he was presented with a book entitled " Medical Prescription Book of U. 8.Army.used at Fort Dearhorn,"by Mr. J. L. Usher. 0! La Crosse. Wis. In this book was written a history.oi the 25th Regiment. U.S.A., and its doings inthe war of 1812. The name of the author is not given. but there are some references to battles fought in this neighborth which will interest readers of the Tune : _ 600 prisoners according to their own account. The Americans lost 39 killed and 108 wounded. The British army were allowed to pursuetheir own course leisurely to the head of the lake and had time to thoroughly fortify themselves at Burlington Heights and there await our arrival. This was wrong and showed the want of good generalship, for, instead of allowing the American army to lie idle four or five days, they should have followed the enemy at once and given them no time to recover War-om their panic.

The Th7“? - fifth Regiment encamped in averx W1 e lane. which ran at right angles wit 1 the maiv road leading to the enemy‘s rorks. and was entered by alarge gate. The cook-fires were made along the lane. and the cooks set to work preparing their e en- ing meal. Major Smith was the only 13 01d officer in our regiment present. He 0 me to me about 11 o'clock and said the re _ ment must be put under arms and me to out of the lane. as he thought we shoul i be attacked before morning. I thought In A ril foiidwi’ng (1813) the whole force was 0 ered to Beckett’s Harbor. About the middlo_o_t May! Chandler and Win‘der'g brigades, with the light troops. were ordered on board Com. Chauncey's fleet, bound to Fort George. U. C. (that is Ni era). The fleet arrived at Niagara, and the troops disembarked and encamped near the four- mile creek. when suitable boats were pre- pared and other preparations made for taking Fort George. Early on the morning of the 27th of May, 1813, all the tents were struck. and the whole army went on board of their respective boats, each boat carrying about sixteen men with their arms and equipments. The boats of each regiment were to keep near to each other. Every man had his musket loaded‘ and bayonet fixed. After all was ready the fleet took their station within grape- and-canister distance of the shore, so as to cover our landing. It was a beautiful morning. not a cloud to be seen or a ripple on the lake. and everything seemed to favor the enterprise. 001. now Lieut.-General Scott with the light troops led the advance, the 25th Regiment followed them. keeping their boats 'in admirable order. The fleet kgpt the coast clear while the boats were p ling for the shore. but before we landed the fleet was obliged to cease firing. It seemed to me a special act of Providence, for at the moment the fleet ceased to fire a favorable breeze sprang up, which carried our boats ashore so rapidly that we soon drove the enemy up the bank, but not HOW FORT GEORGE FELL till they had first charged and driven Scott's advance guard into the lake up to their waists. The work, however. was soon accomplished. and all our boats were lying on the enemy‘s shore and our troops in hot pursuit. Major Foresythe‘s Riflemen in advance cutting down their rear guard as they fled through the bushes into the village of Newark. The 25th Regiment in the meantime moved along on the bank of the Niagara to Fort George. which soon surrendered after blowing up their magazine. and the whole British force was in rapid retreat to Burlington Heights, at the head of Lake Ontario. leaving the Americans in quiet possession of Fort George and the beautiful village of Newark. in which we found in one house the mess~room of the officers and the table laid for about twenty persons, with all the implements for eating and smoking. Beefsteak and coffee inviting us to sit down and partake of John Bull's hospitality, which we availed ourselves of in good earnest.

Chandler. with his nut! and a few men. took up his eposition some fifty yards from and on the l t of our regiment. where he had ordered one company. with two pieces of artillery, to bestationed. and where he directed our command to be sent. These two cannon were discharged 2 but twice. when the enemy made a furious ‘ charge and took both pieces, with Gen. Chandler and his staff, and probably fifteen or twenty artillerymen and musicians. This operation none of the officers in our regiâ€" ment knew anything about at the time. ‘ The first information we had of Gen. Chandler being a prisoner was from his own lips. It seems the enemy had him and directed him to order our regiment to cease firing, when his well-known voice sang out “ Twenty-fifth. cease firing." We ythen knew he was a prisoner. We obeyed his order but a short time only,as the enemy again opened upon us a most do- structive fire, which the Twenty-fifth returned. The firing on both sides then slackened, and but a few more shots were fired. I should have stated before that the two pieces of cannon taken by the enemy when Gen. Chandler was made prisoner remained but a short time in their hands. and that before they had timeto turn them upon us a lieutenant of the Sixth. with a detachment of his regiment, made agallant charge and rate ;k both pieces. During all this contest the regiments (except the Twenty-fifth and Sixth) were in a state of confusion, not knowing where to go or whomto fight. We received during the battle aheavy fire on our left flank from one of our own regiments in the hottest part of the contest. In the midst of this confusion and soon after the battle com- menced Gen. Winder hearing our firing mounted his horse, and with his aide and a few men rode up to the scene of conflict and soon found himself in the midst of the enemy and was consequently made a prisoner. The enemy having now both of our Generals made a precipitate retreat. leaving their dead and some wounded on the field where they fell. The next morning they sent in a flag of truce asking to bury their dead. At the same time an express from Gen. Dearborn arrived for the army to return to Fort George without any delay. Col. Burn of the Dragoons was now the senior ofiicer, and after destroying all the surplus bag-‘ gage led the army back to Fort George. In this battle (Stoney Creek) the enemy lost in killed and wounded 174, the Americans 1 lost two Generals taken prisoner: and 64 rank‘ and file. The Twenty-fifth Regiment‘ saved Chandler‘s Brigade that night from total rout; tor it was the only Regiment prepared for action when the enemy charged in upon us. Soon after we reached Fort George Gen. Dearborn took leave of the army and the command de- volved on Gen. Boyd, the next senior ofiicer in command. At Fort George the American troops about 4,000 strong lay all summer (1813) doing nothing except picket fighting, which 'occurred almost every ‘ morning at daylight or as soon as the British and Indians could see the head on ‘ their rifles they would fire upon our senti- nels but were invariably repulsed. The two contending armies lay within twelve miles of each other all that summer in a threatening position but nothing was done worthy of note. Some sixty or seventy men were killed or wounded in skirmish or , picket fighting during the summer. On Monday night the females who have been peregrinating the country during the last fortnight, describing themselves as " international teams," representing Eng- land and Scotland, ave one of their foot- ball exhibitions in S awfield Park. all the football clubsin the city having refused the ‘ use of their parks. As early as 7 o‘clock Rutherglen Bridge was lined with a large crowd. composed - chiefly of the denizens of Bridgeton and the Saltmarket.

C.. and Mr. ooto represented the defendant. Miss Emma Eva Partridge, the plaintiff. said the marriage was [39stponefl _in April, 1880, owing to She condition of her face. which the laintifi had himself seen. At that time a 0 had seen the house 89 Seven Sisters’ road, in which it was proposed the defendant and herself should live after they married. The defendant’s sisters were carrying on the business of fancy drapers, which the defendant proposed to continue. The defendant wrote at that time. saying he was in the dumps and was very wretched owing to what had assed between them. As a fact, there h been a disagreement between them on the 13th of March, but many letters had passed since then. The doctor had told her that the swelling in her face was owing to her being confined in doors nursing her invalid sister. 0n Whit- Monday the defendant asked her to go for a drive with him to Epping Forest. but although she had not seen him for a fortnight or three weeks he took his sister and brother as well. She told him in the course of the day that he had treated ‘hertoo coolly, and had_ paid more attention to his sister thanto her. When talking about their future life he said that he would have his two sisters to live with them. She replied that one would be quite enough. (Laughter.) Subsequently the defendant said to her that he did not love her so much as he used to do. She replied that he ought to have thought of that be- fore. and he must go somewhere else with his love. The defendant in a letter to her asked her whether everything he had said to her had not been true, but charged her with having been “ downright false " to him. writing letters which were deceitful from beginning to end. and asking for explanations from nim when she only wished to avade his questions to her. She had never written anything deceitful to the defendant, and had no idea what questions he wished to be answered. and therefore asked him to explain. After further cor- respondence the defendant wrote, giving the following reasons why he could not make her his wife : 1. Deceiving him as to her illness, which. however, he had known all about. 2. Telling himto o somewhere else with his love, whereas 3 e had never said so ; but in answer to his'remarks that he did not love her so much as he had done she said he ought to have gone some- where else with his love. 3. The frightful passion she had displayed on Whit-Monday, ‘ whereas defendant in parting that night had said what a happy day he had spent ; and 4, a reason he scarcely liked to speak of, as it was no fault of here, which she understood to apply to the fact that her mother used todrink more a irits than they, who only drank water, iked. The defendant told her that besides his shop he had a salary of between £400 and £500 a year, and some houses and fields in Wales. In cross-examination the plaintiff said that in September. 1879, she suffered from toothache, but was uite well before November. Her face swel ed about Christmas time, and the defendant saw her in that state.

She had never heard of them before. Her solicitor asked the defendant to accept ser- vice of writ in an action for slander in consequence. and the defendant in reply said he would only take steps for his own defence. Dr. Henry Sanford Johnson, the medical attendant on the plaintifi’e family. said they were generally healthy. The leintifi, beeidee the toothache, only h hat} I} athering in her face, and after he had need that she was rfeotly well.

Hu district for travel- ling was between Newcastle and Glssgo which made it difficult for him to see her when she was living in Devonshire or stay ing in London. In March, 1880, he went to the plaintifi's home to see her imme- diately before the marriage. but on his arrival found she was severely ill, with the doctor and nurse in attendance. He felt very much annoyed at having been brought sofar for no purpose. and left a day or two afterwards. When he saw the plaintiff In‘ London shortly after he told her he was not pleased with the want of honesty in her family and herself in keepin him ignorant of her illness. She re li that it was no business of his, an he then said no more about it. Afterwards he asked her again, and she then told him he must go somewhere else with his love. On the day they went to Ep ing Forest the plaintiff at the first place w ere they had refreshments took a glass of beer, and he had lemonade with others. At another inn she had gin and cold water, and he had lemonade to keep her company. At another ‘she had two glasses of beer. When they were on the way_home she complained of being thirsty and had a glass of rt. and he had a. cup of tea. with herâ€"( anigliteqz and afterwards at another inn she dran two glasses of sherry alone, and after they reached home they were going to have cold meet and tea, but the plaintiif asked for stout. and she had awhole bottle to herself.

The plaintiff much annoyed him by callin his sisters nasty, disagree- able. deceitf girls. \Vhen hewalked with her to her brother’s house, in answer to her question why he had been so cold towards her. he told her what he thought of her conduct and enumerated the nine glasses she had taken. She said that was no matter of his and she would have another glass before she went to bed. He told her that he would see her father in her presence and tell him why he could not make her his wife. She said she would not be present at the interview and asked him to reconsider the matter, kiss her and make it up, because she was afraid of what her friends would say. He said he would reconsider the matter, but did not expect to write to the plaintiff again. His salary was £330 a year. and he received . no commission. He had set up his brothers and sisters at business. and allowed his sisters £30 a year each. The property in Wales produced £24 a year, to be divided in four equal shares in the family. His allowance for travelling was 24s. a day, but he could put no part of that into his pocket. In cross-examination the defend- ant said he had provided all the capital for the business in the Seven Sisters' Road. and took half profits with his brother. Hitherto there had only been losses. He relied on his memory as to the number of glasses. and never referred to the subject afterwards in conversation or correspon- dence. Miss Sarah Jane Woosnam. the defend- ant’s eldest sister, said in September, 1879, when on a visit to the laintiff's house, she went with the plainti and her sister. and the plaintiff’s brother, to Start Farm, and when there the plaintifi took four glasses of whiskey and beer, and arrived home after themselves in a very dirty state, having had a tumble. She and her sister helped the plaintiff up to bed, as she was intoxicated and was afterwards very ill. The same thing occurred twice after- wards, and the laintifi asked them not to tell the defen ant. She saw the plain- tifi take the wine and otherdrinks on Whit- Monday. In cfosa~examination the witness said the plaintifi’s brother was quite as intoxicated “the plaintiflherself. Miee’Fanny Woosnam, a younger sister of thggefquant, gave confirmgtorg eviQenee. Mr. John H.Wooenam, the defendant's brother, confirmed the evidence given by the defendant as to WhibMondaymnd said the value of stock in his business last August was £1,500. but there were trade credit amounts to the extent of £700. Miss Emma Eve Partridge. on being re- called. spoke with considerable feeling. and said there was not a word of truth in the story that she had taken the liquor which ha§_bee_n mentioned on any occasion. _ Mr. Day. on behalf of the defendant. appealed to the jury rather to believe that the defendant and his sisters would not have concocted a wicked conspiracy against the plaintiff than that the bare denials of the plaintiff are worthy of credit.‘ Mr. Waddy characterized the case of the defendant as one of a man who had kept the plaintiff dangling about his heels for four years, and then when he had determined for his own reasons not to make the plaintiff his wife. had spread abroad a wicked lie to blast the plaintiff's character. so that she should be prevented from marrying anybody else. The jury ave a verdict for the plaintiff with £500 am es, and expressed their opinion that she eft the court without a stain upon her character. A New York report says Messrs.

A 8300.000 Funeral will Ten Days on Fesllvlly. The Princess Suntariat, one of the favor- ites of the King of Siam, and her infant daughter, were drowned last year about forty miles from Bangkok, by the upsettin ofabarge. The remains were embalmeg and kept about nine months, when they were cremated with imposing ceremonies at an expense of $300,000 in decorations and in the presentation of gifts. A aor- respondent says that the rite took place in a cross-shaped building 200 feet in length, covered within and without by gilded cloth. All the principal people and the foreign representatives were present, and fine quarters and a free restaurant were pro- vided. The fire was lighted by the first King, the second King also being present. After the funeral pyre had been con. sumed there were fireworks and athletic sports for ten successive nights. Among other representations was the lotus dance, participated in by fifty men swinging colored lanterns. During the entertainments each day limes, a species of the lemon, containing small silver coins and also ticketstoalottery, were scattered freely among the spectators. Many beautiful prizes were drawn by both natives and foreigners. The Buddhist priesthood were the princi a1 gainers by this cremation. One hun red thousand dollars were distributed in gifts to these gentlemen of the yellow cloth. This was done to “ make merit,” with the hope that some might reach the spirit of the dead Princess Sun-an-ta~rhat, as she wanders through the long travail of births and deaths that await her before she can find rest. When the crematory ceremonies were over, the ashes and a few charred bones were tenderly gathered and. placed in a. golden urn prepared to receive them. This urn was made almost entirely of the jewels of the dead Princess, and a smaller one received the remains of the royal babe.
