THE BATTLES Of TRENTON AND
PRINCETON.
The twenty-fifth of December. 1778.
was a gloomy day in the American
camp. An army of thirty thousand
British soldiers (ay scattered along the
opposite side of tlje freezing Delaware,
from Brunswick to tlie environs ot
Philadelphia. Gen. tlowe command
ed the British rantonment. and Lord
Cornwallis was on the march from
New York to reinforce him.
The British soldiers were Hushed
with success. They had driven us
through the Jerseys. New York
Island and the North R.rrr were in
their power. They had tracked us
bv our bloody foot-prints along the
gloomy, though snow-clad hills; and
they looked eagerly forward to the

The banner of England floated heavi.
ly in (lie wintry air, and the fur-clad
Hessian paced* his rounds on the
glormy hills, with his bayonet gleam
ing in the Stonily light; vidi lies were
seen galloping along the hill sides, and
the valleys echoed with the martial
airs of England. But in our camp all
was sadness. Five thousand men.
Columbus discovered America hr a
cruize alter Solomon's gold mine, and
the vast field, of chemistry was laid
open to human ken, in a search for
the eliitr of life, and Ihe philosophers
stone. ...
All night our troops moved down
the wen bank of the river, and as the
morning spread her gtey mantle ovet
the eastern hills, we reached Trenton.
The Hessians, under Rawte, slept.
No one feared Washington,—and the
moustached soldier dreamed of the
Rhine and the Elbe, and the captain
slept careless at his inn. But sudden
ly the cry.raised,— 4 He comes I
be comes I* Our frosty drums beat
the charge \ the shrill files mingled in j
with a merry strain ; an I our hungry
army. With bare feet entered the city.
Like the Scandinavian hoide—in im
petuosity and necessity—before the
eternal city, we rushed up the streets,
and attacked the surprised enemy at
every turn,- The startled foe endeav
ored to defend themselves; hut. be
fore any fiody of them could collect, a
charge of our infantry cut them to
pieces. Their colors were absolutelv
hacked oflf of their standard staff,
while they advanced in line, by a ser
geant's stoord, and their officers were
cut down or taken prisoners Our
victor}’ wascomplete. One thousand
men were killed and made prisoners,
For upwardof two hours we moved
on in comparative silence. Nothing
but the whispers of the officers, and
the lie ivy tread of men was heard.—
It was quite dark, and every breast
seemed, to tie under the spell of mys
tery.' At length a. noise was heard
ahead, and a staff officer galloped to
the rear. As he past along he said, in
a dear voice, ‘the enemy are in sight.*

But this was not all. Tl»e Crafty
British general had offered a pardon
to all who would desert the American
cause, and many men of property, aye!
even members of Congress, recreant
to honor and principle, pocketed their
patriotism with the proclamation, anti
basely betrayed their country in the
hour of her peril. Members of Con

been members: and let me reoeat
their names, lest perchance they may

power and speculation. Galloway
and Allen deserted, and joined the
enemies of freedom in the fall of 1776.
Such was the state of things at this
period. All wassilence in the Ameri
can camp. The spangled banner
hung drooping over out head quarters,
and the sentinel by the low door-way
stood leaning in melancholy nvnid
upon bis rusty and flintless gun. The
>niiiiaiider-i‘n-cliief held a council of
war. At the close of it he gave his
opinion—he had heard of the canton-

On the 29lh of December 1776, we
again crossed the Delaware, and at 1.

each soldier grasped his musket with
a firmer gripe—and away we went
upon the run.
Three regiments of light-infantry
opposed us upo ti the plain at Maiden
head, and their drums were beating
merrily, as we drew near them—our
front now came upon an open com
mon. We broke into three columns,
and headed hv the gallant Mercer,
dashed on. In a moment a stream
of fire passed a!ong“tI«f British line,
the dead and wounded fell around
me, and our columns wavered. At
this instant while General Mercer,
with his sword raised, was encourag
ing the van-guard to rush on and
secure the victory, a bullet struck him,
and he fell from his horse mortally
wounded. For a moment only the
battle was against us, but soon the
firm voice of Washington was heard,
as he pressed on to the front. Our
musketry now edhned terribly! the
euemv began to give way ; a well-
directed fire from »he artillery told
fearfully upon the small armed foe,
and they were routed. At this mo
ment a British soldier clapped his
bavonet to my breast—CharlesGreely
thrust it away with his right hand—
the soldier fired—his musket and the
nobly-hearted Greely fell upon my
breast. I grasped his hand—it faintly
returned my pressure-* and then he
straitened himself upon the ground,
his eyes became fixed, his jaw fell, and
ha was dead. 1 h ire him quckiy to
a wnuuded cart, and hastened to my
platoon. The enemy were flying to
ward Btunswick, and we were mas
ters of the field.
•On to Princeton,* shouted ournoble
leader, a9 he sent hi9 wounded aid to
the rear on a litter.
The line moved on in quick time,
and soon we entered tlie town. Our
visit was as unexpected here a* at
Trenton. A portion of the enemy
had .1 aken shelter in the college. Our
general, as at Trenton, headed the
charge in gallant style, while the
troops, animated by his fearlessness,
nohlv seconded him. The artillery
thundered against the garrisoned
lege, and the musketry rung wildly
from every corner. Surrounded by a
superior force, aud not knowing ixit
what Cornwallis had been muted, for
they had heard the midnight cannon
at Maidenhead, most of the enemy
surrendered. A few, however, escap
ed by a precipitate fl ght along an un
guarded street at the commencement
of the attack. Iu this affair one hun
dred of i lie enemy were killed, and
three hundred laken prisoners. Lord
Cornwallis, as he lay on his camp Iwd.
was. roused bv the roar of cannon.
He started—-the sound came fr« m
Princeton—he immediately ordered
his troops under arm*, and hastened to
the scene of action. When hearrived
the battle was won. and we were on
our return march in triumph. As we
