the guilty unavoidably. His order was specific
in its nature, and confined to two objects, viz. the
towns of Hopounce and Phelemmee—he could
not mistake. No heresay news, of stolen pro
perty, of hostile chiefs being there, no circum
stance of that nature could justify the work of
death and devastation, on a friendly town. The
judges of the Inferior Court of Baldwin county,
acted wisely and justly too, (be it to their honor
spoken) in extending toj Wright the benefit of the
habeas corpus act, and his liberation. From Capt.
Wright atonement is due—lie alone is responsi
ble—he transcended his orders—he inflicted (at
least at that time) undeserved punishment, on
the weak and friendly savage. There are no
circumstances connected with, or growing out of
the expedition, which can justify his conduct.—
Justice and humanity must be appeased.

Gen'l Montgomery —The National Advocate
in detailing the important services of the gallant
Montgomery, during the war of our revolution,
remarks:—With a small army, poorly equipped,
lie penetrated the wilderness, & marched through
the snows and over the mountains, into that in
hospitable region—he surmounted the most per
plexing difficulties, and animated the drooping
spirits of his men, by a brilliant example of pa
tience and fortitude, and by a mild and persua
sive manner, for which he was eminently distin
guished. He arrived before the walls of Quebec
—Fart of the detachment was commanded by
Benedict Arnold, who got possession of the Low
er town,-and was so unfortunate as to survive the
combat. Montgomerv pursuing his march, in a
narrow path, under Cape Diamond, a small mask
ed battery, consisting of two pieces of cannon,
opened its fire upon him—one was loaded with
grape shot, which cut him down :—He fell ex
claiming, “ Rush on, mes braces! I have only
fallen in a ditch—the town is onr own!” A se
cond shot struck him in the face, and also kil
led his two aids, and part of his stall'. The ar
my retreated towards their cainp. Thus fell,
near the spot where also fell the gallant Wolfe,
the no less gallant Montgomerv, both in sight of
the town and in the moment of victory 5 for Ca
nada would have been ours, if the general had
not fallen on the very onset. Richard Montgom
ery was an Irishman by birth, and of a distin
guished family—his attachment to liberty induc
ed him to be among the first who took up arms in
behalf of our country—He died in the prime of
life, being but 35 years of age. His respectable
widow still survives to see her country pay the
last honors to him whose worth and services have
been so long esteemed and acknowledged.
