Arnold was in fact the. ;”zL‘l'S(‘.l’l. with wh:-izzi
the correspondericc comiriciict‘-(I, nu--s
army stood higher than he, in the confidence
of the government. and the love oftlie peo-
ple, prior to that dark period, when, plot-
ting the ruin“of his oppressed country, be
effected his own, and erccliangcd forever the
bright and spotless inheritance of a soldier’s
fame, for the withering curse of a nation’s
contempt, and the unending infamy of atrait-
or’s name, which living, haunted every hour
of his life, and will be fresh in the history
of all future time.
All writers agree that the deep pecunia-
ry embarrassments of Arnold, into which his
love of pleasure and great extravagance had
led him, were the lending motives that im-
pelled him to the fczirful step. Ramsey in-
forins us that ‘the generosity of the States
did not keep pence with the extmvngance of
their favorite ofiicer.’ A sumptttous table
and expensive cquipage, unsupported by the
resources of private fortune, ungarded by
the virtues ofeconomy and good l11fll]{1f_TCl‘.’tt'Dl,

requested that Major Ar‘;-;li‘e should be the;
person to hold L‘.OIX‘.ti)t1t]lf.‘t‘.ll.’.=i't with him, and
Clinton accordingly dcputed him.
Major John Andre was intended for com-
mercial lifc, and had c-mt-i‘ccl tipon its busy
cmployments; but the abrupt and sad ter-
mination of hisaddress-:3 to a yoting English
Indy, whose father‘ forbadt: the union, drove
him to the exciternent of rriilitrtry life; arid,
forsaking England, he sought in the f£lSCll’)-

Soon after the parties had reached ,Stnith’s,

In these circumstances, a change of sides:if-
lorded the only hope of evading a scrutiny,
and zit the same time held out a prospect of
replenisliing his exhausted coffers.
In the midst of his desperation, his funds
gone, detection unavoidiiblc, he resolved to
unburden his gricfs to the French envoy;
and mingling in their detail the ‘ ingratittide’
of his country, to seek from the sympathy of
a foreigner the means to retrieve his shatter-

was at last driven by his impetuous feelings.

he took occasion to call at “Beverly,” dined
with Gen, Arnold, and gave him a full ac.
count of Mr. Anderson’s progress, and where
he had left him. Vfhen Smith and Andre
parted, it was understood that Andre would
pursue the route tnro’ White Plains, a‘-.'oid-
ingthe river roads, and thus reach New
York; but instead of that, he turned ofi’ to-
ward the Hudson, taking the Tarrytown road.

persons, who resided near the I‘Iudson, on

suspicious str':igglei's, or droves of cattle that
inight be passing t0\V:.1:'(.l:3 New York. Three
of this party, .Tt)l)n P:1i:ldii'ig, David Wil-

near the road in the bushes. About half rt

the aids arrived. at Beverly, they found the
farnily waiting; and having corhiiiufiicatrii
the message of General IVnsltingt‘on, Arnold
with his family and the aids, sat down tit‘
breakfast. Before they hold f'irrislied,_'a mes’
senger arrived in great haste, aiid liéintleti
Gen: Arnold a letter, which he read with
deep and evident emotion. . , , ,
The self control of -the soldier eirabled
Arnold to siippress the agony he endured af
ter reading this letteiz. He rose hastily frbii-i
the table; told the aids that hi5 ifzihieiiiatt:
presence was required at “Test Poinf; and
desired them so to inform General ‘Wash-
ington, when he arrived. Having first or-
dered a horse to be ready, he hastened to’
Mrs. Arnold’s chamber, and there, with a,
bursting lreztrt, disclosed to her his dreadful
position, and that they must part, perhaps
forever. Struck with horror at the painful
intelligence,this fond and devoted wife Swoon-
cd, and full senseless at his feet.‘ In this state
he left her -3.; hurried down stairs,'ai"id tnount-‘
ing his horse, rode with all possible speed to"
the river. In doing so, Arnold did not
keep the main road, but passed down the"
mountain, pursuin'g a by path‘ tIi‘i'oiight the"
woods, which Lieutenant Arden pointed out;
and which is now called “ Ar7iold’s Path.”
Near the foot of the mou’ntain,- where the’
path approaches the main road, a tveepihg
willow planted there no doubt by some pa-'
triot hand, stands, in marked contrast with
the forest trees whichencircle rind surround
it, to point out to the enquiring tourist the’
very pathway ofthe traitor.
In our interesting visit, we were ac.coiii-'
panied by the superintendent, Major Dela.-
tield, and in the barges kindly ordered for"
our accommodation, we were rowed to ‘ Be-
verly Dock,” and landing at the spot where.
Arnold took a boat toaid his escape. He"
was towed to the “Vulture,” and using
white hantlkerchicf, created the impression
that it wzisa flag-boat; it was tli‘e_refo’ré suffer-'
