FACTS ARE STI ItIIORN THINGS.
M LOGAN & CO. would most respectfully
V I inform the good citizens of Macon and the sur
! lounding country, that they are not quite soling off
I their stock at New York cost, nor do they loudly hoasi
\of under selling their neighbors. The design of this
advertisement ts to disseminate extensively this unde
niable tiuth, viz : that our assortment is rich and racy—
rare and beautiful; comprising every desirable article of
Fancy and Staple Dry Goods
usually found in store on speculation. ’Tis unnecessa
ry to enumerate the many, rery many extravagantly
beautiful articles on hunt), and to comment upon intrin
sic worth, is deemed entirely superfluous. Suffice it to
say. that all our rich Fancy Dr-ss Goods. French Work
ed Capes, A c were purchased of A T Stewart & Cos .
New’York, and differ materially in slyle and patterns
from nil others in Macon.
All those who entertain the erronious impression
that we hold up for high price**, can receive oceular de

VIiSCELLANY.
First Piniio in Noithorn Illinois,
During the summer followi tg the termina
tion of tne Block Hawk war—being among
the first of the Jowneasl emigrant* to the 101111-
try then barely evacuated by the red men of
the forest —Pr A., of Baltimore removed to
what Ims since become a small town near the
Illinois river, by the name of P . The doc
toi’s family was composed of three young ladies
and Itis wife all of whom were performers on
the piano and one nf them the possessor of the
in t. uinent in question.
As ts usually the case in nil newly settled
places when a -new comer” makes his appear
ance the neighbors (that were to be) bad ref
lected together for the purpose of seeing the
doctor’s -plunder” unpacked and making the
acquaintance of its possessor.
Ur. A.’s “household” was stowed away in
► even large wagons —being first packed into
pine boxes o:t which were painted in large
black letters, the contents, address &r.
One wago t after another was unloaded with
out much sensation on the part of the little
crowd of lookers-on. except an occasional excla
mation similar totlielollowing from those who
hail -‘ never seen the like before:’ ’
•‘Glass! This side up with care! Whv l
thought this ere teller was a doctor. What
on yearth is he going to do with that box full
of winders ?”
” This side up with care!” exclaimed one.
“lie’sgot lie* paragoric and ile-of-spike tixins
in that. Won’t lie tizic them ugur fellows

From President Resets Life,
The Hattie of Princeton*
The night of the 2d January. 1777—the day
whose events have been just described—wai
perhaps the most gloomy and anxious that
our revolutionary soldiers knew. In a milita
ry point of view, Washington's position was a
itUe one. Separated ty a urn ill, and as was
ascertained by the Adjutant General’s obser
vations a fordable creek, from an enemy su
perior in numbers equipment and discipline,
and exasperated by recent discomfiture, with
a river, impassable by floating ice, in their
rear. W nshington and his Generals could not
but look with extreme solicitude to the chan
ces ol the next day. No sooner had night clo
sed than a council of war was held at the quar
ters of Mcrcor or St. Clair. Os its delibera
tions little further is known, than that the bold
project w is agreed to, to attempt to turn the
leit flank of the enemy by n secret and Ibrced
march, and full upon their rear and attack
their comparatively unprotected posts at
I nnceton or Brunswick. This was aetermin
ed on, and the movement commenced before
midnight, as appears from the following hur
ried letter from the Adjutant General, the on
ly contemporaneous memorial that has survi
ved of the doings of that night.
East side ok Trenton Crier. i
January 2.1, 1777, twelve o’clock at nigbft. $
Deis General Putnam:
The enemy advanced upon us to-day. We
came to the east side of the river or creek
which runs through Trenton, when it was re
solved to make a forced march and attack the
enemy at Princeton. In order to do this with
the greatest security our baggage is sent off
to Burlington, liis Kxccllcriey begs you will
march immediately forward with aFI the force
you can collect at Crosswicks where you will
find a very advantageous post; your advan
ced party ul Allentown. You wtil ul.-o send
a good guard for our baggage wherever it may
tie. 1, aus hear from you as often ns possi
ble. V\ e shall do tire same by you.

1 o Mnj. Gen. Putnam, Mount Hotly.
It must have been a few minutes nfter this
letter was written that the midnight march
ol’ the 2d ol January was commenced the first
etfectoi which was to turn the tide of war and
compel the enemy', :n no ill-founded panic to
abandon all tlour recent conquests, and evac
uate New Jersey.
At rughtlall on tin* 2d, the weather was un
usually mild, so much so as to thaw the roads,
and indu e very reasonnlde apprehensins that
they might Ire found impassable. In the
‘our*e ol the evening however, \ sudden
change fucli rw ol leri occurs in ow variable
climate, took place, the wind veered to the
northward and it became intensely cold, the
roads though rough being frozen” hard. A
working party was detach, and to the lower ford
near the bridge in Trenton, with orders to
continue busily and noisily at work lilt day
‘reak, anti tires were lighted on the lower
hunk of the Assnnpi.ok near which the Amcr
ciui sentinels were to be seen during the night.
Ine scheme was completely successful. The
irmv was secretly withdrawn. Mercer with
the flying camp in advance, and the main bo
,ly consisting principally ol the Pennsydvania
troops under VVnsfiingtoa r M immediate com
mand, marched by the mad to flkuultown and
the Quaker Bridge, towards Princeton. About
daybreak they had reached the point where
the chasseurs had been captured. Here
Washington paused till his column was con
solidated and then pushed rapidly on. their
approach being yet undiscovered. Alter cros
sing Stonev Brook,* the Americans pursued
its hank till they reached a blind rood at the
edge of the wcod below the Meeting House,
by which according to the ht&rmntir>n of the
guides there was a mom direct and lets ex
posed route to Princeton than by the main
road still some distance in advance. The
body defiled on this road to the right, white

land regiments pushed on nlo g the creek “to

The Briti h troops at Princeton consisting
ol the 17th 40th, and 55th Regiments whol
ly unsuspicious of the near approach of an en
emy, had been put in motion at an early hour
to join Lord Cornwallis at Trenton. But one
regiment, (17th) commanded by Col, Maw
hood had, however, aigually inarched. At
laybreak it had reached Cochrane’s house a
-Itort distance Irom the bridge over Stoney
Book, and in the first light of the morning the
two advancing parties Manhood’s regiment
and Mercer’s brigade, discovered each other,
Mawhood. after a moment’s halt on the hill,
made a rapid retrogade movement, crossing
the bridge and pushing back to join the other
regiments supposed to be npproaching from
Princeton, Mercer immediately moved to the
right so as to intercept him. anil gain the ri
sing ground near Clark’s house. The Ameri
cans having a shorter distance to march reach
ed their position sooner than the enemy and
formed behind a hedge fence in front of the
huse. The action immediately began with
great spirit. At the first fire .Mercers horse
was disabled. One of his colonels mortally
wounded and carried to the rear. This caus

line broke. I'upt. Neal who was in command
ol the artillery was killed and while Mercer

in form his troop* so us 10 cover his flank by
< ‘lark’s house and barn, the enemy made the
charge in which Mercer was bayoneted oim
left on the field.
Immediately on the sound of the firing reach
ing Washington, who was pushing on towards
Princeton, lie detaehed a body of the Penn
sylvania militia to the left, and with them has
tened to sustain Mercer. They reached the ri
sing ground beyond the wood in time to wit
ness the first retreat of this corps. The Pcnn
sylvnmans were formed umier cover of the
wood und becoming in the true restlessness
of raw troops, impatient under the fire of
Mawhood’s artillery, moved rapidly in ad
vance beyond the cover. Washington rode

to them to maintain their ground. He then

buttery to rally the remain of Mercer’s de
tachment, his artillery funning on the brow of
the little i idge near the wood. At this mo
ment the 7tlt Virginia regiment came rapidly
up from the wood, and torming on the right
ol the Pennsylvanians, the whole moved tor
ward with it loud cheer. The conflict was
short and severe, and the British in their turn
broke and retreated. Washington leaving a
party to break down the bridge and vending
orders to St. Clair to continue the advance to
Princeton, went with n detachment of caval
ry in rapid pursuit of the fragments of *Maw -
Iwssl’s regiment now completely dispersed.—
The fute of the day was thus decided. The
other British regiments, uftcr a moment’s
stand and the interchange of a few shots
with St. ('lair’s advance guard near the Col
lege, fled in disorder to Brunswick. Princeton
was immediately taken possession of by the
Americans. Such was lb* fatigue, however,’

the movement against Brunswick, and to with
draw the army first to Kingston and thin to
Pluekemin. whence on the sth Washington
wrote hi* despatch to Congress inlbriaing them
of his soocem.
