I ask no morel Tlic I’lrwi UrttiiiKlivr of France. For many a year tlerc was a touching and beautiful custom to be wituonsod in a certain regiment of French grenadiers, and which was meant to commemorate the hero ism of a departed comrade. \V hen the companies assembled for parade snd tbe roll was called, there was one name to which i:s owner could not answer—it wan that of La Tour a nd; Auvergne. \\ lien it was called, the oldest sergeant present stepped a pace forward, and raising his baud to bis cap, sni I proudly : ‘‘D.ed on the field of honor.” For fourteen years this custom was con tinued, and only ejased when the restored Bourbons, to please tboir foreign masters, forbade everything that was calculated to preserve the spirits of the soldiers of Franco. Li Tour d’ Auvergne was not unworthy m life of this honor paid him after his dea h He was educated in the army, en tered in 17G7, and in 1781 served under the Duke de Cullon at the of l’ort Ma hon. Ho served always with dostinction, but constantly refused offers of promotion, saying that he was only fit to command a company of grenadiers; but finally, tho va rious grenadier companies being united,.lie f iUnd himself i.i command of a body of eight thousaud men, while retaining only the rank of captain. Hence he was known as the First Grcni dier of France. Bet it is r-De particular exploit of his that we wish tr write about, more than his career iQ general. When he was ovor forty yrara of ago, ho went on a visit t» a friend, not far ftoaj a scctiap of- the country that was soon t£. be ■come the Accn# of a errujaign. While there lie was btyxj.in acquainting himgdf widi the features of the country, thinking it not unliYely that this knowledge i?fight be of aso to him someday, and whlie here, the brave grenadier was astonished to barn that the war had been rapidly shifte 1 to that quarter and that a regiment of Austrians were pushing on to occupy a narrow pass about ten miles from where he was staying, and the poisession of which would give them an opportunity to prevent an important movemct.t of the French which was then on foot. Thry hoped to surprise this post, and we e moving so ray idly it that they were no’, more than two lauis distant, from the place where he was staji ig, and wbieh (hey would have to pa<son their march; It matters not how he heard the news. It is sufficient to say that he de ermined at once to act upon it. He bad no idea of being captured by tho enemy in their advance, and he at once set off for the pass. He knew that the pass was defended by a strong tower, and a garri son of thirty men, and he hop?d to be able to warn the men of their danger; He hastened on and arriving there, he found tbe tower in perfect condition. It had just b’en vacated by the garrison, who had heard of the approach of the Austrians, and had been seised witb a panic thereat, and had fled, leaving their arms consisting of thirty excellent muskets. La Tuuc d’ Auvergne gnashed his teeth with rage as he discovered this. Searching in the building, he found several boxes of amunition that the cowards had not destroy ed. For a moment ho was in despair, but then with a grim smile he began to fasten the main door, and pile against it sUeb arti cles as he could find. When he had dofie this, ho londcd all the guns heconld find and placed them, to gether with a good supply of amunilion, un der theloop-ho that commanded the road by which the enemy must, advance. Then he ato heartily of the provisions that he had brought with him, and sat down to wait. He had absolutely formed the heroic resolution to defend the tower alone against the enemy. There were some things in his favor in such an undertaking. The pas? was steep and narrow, and the enemy’s troops coull only enter it in double files, and in so do ing they would lie fully exposed to the fire from the tower. The original garfison of thirty men could easily have held it against a division, and now odc man was about to attempt to bold it against a regiment. It was daik when La Tour d’Auvergnc reached the tower, and iio had to wait some fine for the enemy. They were longer in coming than ho had expected, and for a while lie was lempted to bulievo that they had abandoned the expedition. About midn-ght, however, hU practiced ear caught the tramp of feet. Every mo ment the sound came nearer, and at last lie heard thorn entering the defile Immedi ately ho discharged a couple of muskets In to the d'fkiicss to let them know that he know of their presence and intentions, and he heard the quick, short commands of the officers, and, from the sounds, he supposed that the troops were retiring from the puss. Until the morning he was undisturbed.— The Austrian commander, feeling assured that the garrison had been informed of his movements,and was prepared torcceive him, saw that he could not surprise the post as he had hoped to do,and deemed it prudent to wait until daylight beforo making an attack. At sunrise he Summoned the girriSon to surrender. A grenadi r answered tho sum mons. (, S ty to your commander," he said, in re fdv to the triersmger, "that this gaf.ison will defend tbispo.tto the Irst extremity.” Tl.c offici r who had borne the flag of true# retired, and in about ten minntrs a piece of artillery was brought in tho pass and opened rtn the tower. But to effect this, the piece had to be placed directly in front of tho tow er, and within easy musket range of it. They had scarcely got tho gun i l pos t n, when a rapid fire was opened on it from tbe tower, aad con'ioucd with stioh marked ef fect that the pisoe was withdrawn aftor th« second discharge, with a 1 >ss of five men. Thisavas a bad beginniug, so half an hour after tho gun Was withdrawn tile Austrian colonel ordered an assault. As the troops entered the defile they were rccievod with n rapid and accurate fire, so that when they had passed over half the distance they had to traver e, they had Whi fifteen men. Disheartened by t!n thev returned to the month of tho defile. Throe more assaults were repulsed in this mannpi*, and the enemy by sun et had lost forty-five men, of whom ten were kill ed The firing fr m the trwer had been rap id and accurate, but the Austrian com mander had no’iued this peculnrity about it—every shot, seemed to como from tho same p’aee. For awhile ties perplexed him, but at last be cirno to the eonclnsion that there were a tiutnb'r of loop-holes close together in the tower, so constructed as ti command tho ravine perfectly. At sunset the last assault was made and repulsed, and at dark tho Austrian com mander sent a second summons to the gar rison. This time tho answer was favorable.— The garrison offered to surrond r at sun rise the next morning if allowed to match out with their arms and return to the army unmolested . After some hesitation the terms wero acccpto I. Moantinn?, La Tour d’Auvergno find passed an nnxi nus day in the tower. He had opened the fight with an armament of thirty loaded muskets, but had not been able to discharge th m. lie had fired with surprising rapfidity, but with surpris ing 1 Occurjcy, for it was well known in the army that he never threw away a shot.— Ho had determined to stand to his post un til ho had accomplished hi? end, which was to Ih4il tire place twenty-four hours, in or der so give the French army time to com plete ittunanrpuvro. Astor th t, ho knew tlic pass would be of no consequence to the enemy. When the demand for n surrender catno to him after the last nman’t, ho consented to it upon the conditions named. The next day at sunrise the Austrian trxtps lined tho pass in two files, extending from the mouth to tho tmver leaving a spaetj. between them fyr the garrison to pa?s out. The heavy door of tho tower opened slowly, r.nd in a few minutes ft bronzed and scarred gr nadler, literally loaded down with mil Lets, came out and pass’d down the line of troops. He walked with diffi culty Under his heavy load. To tbe surprise of the Austrian*, no one followed him from tbe tower In astonishment the Austrian colonel rode up to him, and asked in French why the garrison did not come out. ‘T am the garrison, colonel,” said tbe sol dier, proudly. “What!’’ exclaimed the colonel; “do you mean to tell me th 'tyou alone have held that tower against me 7” “1 have had that honor, oolonel,” was the reply. “What possessed yon to make such an at tempt, grenadier ?” ‘‘The homr of France was at stake.” The colonel gnzedat him fora moment with undisguised admiration. Then, rais ing his cap, he said warmly: “Grenadier, I salute you. You have prov ed yourself the bravest of the brave.” Tbo officer caused all the arms which La ’Tour d’Auvcrgne could not carry to be collected, and sent them all, with tue grenadier, into the French lines, together with a note rola ing the whole affair. When the knowledgo.of it came to the oars of Napoleon, be offered to promote La Tour Auvergne, bat the latter declined to ac cept the promotion, saying that he pre ferred to remain where he was This bravo soldier met hisden’h In an ac tion at Aborhauscn, in Davaiia, in June, 1800, and the situ; le but expressive scene at roll-call in his regiment was cirnmenced and continued by the express ftomma nd of the emperor himself.
