BY AN EYE-\’i'I'1‘NI-ZSS.

A few days since I stopped at the public
house in Coleraine,arid while my horse was
feeding, I sat down in the bar-room, and
heard a sensible old man relate the substance
of the enclosed account. '

During the revelutioi_iary war there was
a point; of land on tl;e.lei'sey side of the
Hudson, and ‘not far distant from New
York, which was the scene of a bloody con-
llict. 'l'liere were about thiee hunu't*e<l
acres next to the river from which the wood
and timber had been cleared oil, and at the
liack of this was a forest. On the cleared
point a large number of fat cattle, destined
to supply the Au'ieriean army, were placed,
Fonz" or live miles ‘distant, in New Jersey,
'tli'e‘i"e were three lliousand light infantry,
under command of Layfayette. I was one
of that detacliment. Our business was to
see that the cattle were not taken by the
cnemy. (fine l1l0l‘l'iltif_1' intelligence was
brought into cam p, that seveizl vessels ap-
proached and that a large body of British
soldiers were landing. My icginient was
immediately ordered to the point. {ufus
Putnam, a ncphe\'v of the oltl ‘General, was
Colonel, and he was well stocked with the
Pulnuin mettle. He Was a lii-ave oflicer
indeed. I could never discern that he was
not just as ‘cool and self-posstsscd \i'l‘.t3ti go-
ing into battle, as when sitting: in his tcnt
l/Vc ‘made a h'ui‘i'i'cd match, and upon ap-
proaching~ the edge of tlze woods, the Col.
order d the adjutanl to go foi’ward and see
where the troops ‘w'ei’e autl \\ hat was their
nunib'er~. The adjutaut soon returned, and
reported they were foriniug on the shore in
three ‘columns. ‘containing about one tliou-
sand eacli ‘ Their,’-said the Colonel, ‘ride
back to the c2:n'ip as quickly as possible, and
tell Lafayette to come on.’ When the adju-
taut had ,9_oii‘e, Col. Putnam rode up to my

‘captain, who was of insurl“e'clion inemory,

and said, ‘ VVell, Captain Shay, shall we be
playing with them until the General coin-es 
‘ Yes.’ replied ‘Capt. Slfay.

Orders were soon given to advau‘ceto1he
open land upon the point. ‘Ne now sto-0".-l
face to fa'<".e Willi our foes. 1fii'ing very soon
commenced. The cannon from the ship-
ping in the r.'-v.er poured liirtli their volleys,
and the small arms did fatal c:<ecution.——
Col. Putnam rode back and forth in front of
the regiixicnt, calm as a. ‘man at home,
tho'ugh‘the balls were whistling around him
in every direction. "We worked very fast,
and -for one regiment made a good deal of
noise. The corporal at my riglit hand re-
ceived two balls through his body, and fell
dying. I was yoiiiig‘-,'ancl a dying man at
my feet, bleeding and gtispimz, niiglit pet'-
haps cause my color to fade a little. Capt.
Shay steppetl forward; ‘George,’ :3-aid'lie,

’ ‘ never "mind it, I will take his place ;’ and

be was as good as his w'ord; he tool: the
eorporal’s gun and used it. He was bold
and kind ; 1 will give him his due, though
he has been unworthy since; for we stood
shoulder to sliouldei' on that ‘day of peril.
Iv-'as loadiiiu, my gun the twenty-second
time, when Geiieml Layfayette with the
main body of the lig-lit infantry issued froan
the wood. Never shall l forget the feeling
of that 'mo'inent. VVellington was harilly
more pleased to see Bulcher in the battle of
VValerloo, than we to see our brother in
arms-. The main body formed at once upon
our left. Lafayette rode forward. He was
an elegant otlicer, and never did he fillmy
eye so entirely as at that moment; though
a stripling in appearance, in action he ‘was
a ‘man, and had Cornwallis seen him as we
then saw him, he would not have called
him “ the boy.” As he approached, ‘ Col.
Putnam,’ said he, ‘ bow dared you to tire
before I arrived 9’ '

‘Oh,’ said the Colonel, ‘I thought I
would be playing with them a little.’

Lafayette at that moment seemed full of
{ire and eucizgy; turning towards the line,
and with ti loud and distinct voice, marked
by his French accent, he said, ‘One fire!
the whole charge bayonets, rush on and
drive.tliem where the devil drove the hogs !’

The effect of his vvords. and his presence
was astonisliing. Every heart beat quick
and. full. Vile dial rush on, and such a
scene of carnage my eyes never saw. At

but they could not stand against us, and
fled from the shore; we followed" them and
drove them into the water; of three thou-
sand, about fifteen hundred got aboard the
vessels——the rest were slain, and D1081 Of
them at the point of the bayonet. .

l have described to you the most pain

have ever witiiessed. 1 never ‘enjoyed
