Thus he tages \ at great disadvantage for an hour and a quarter, when | General Brown anid staff came up.

Scott shought it impos: aible. “Tt ts certainly #0,’ said Towson; “we ave fast taken a prisoner from tem, and they ste tnere, and re: inforced.’’ What are they waiting there for, Captain?”? “They mean to receive our fire, and then charge our presume, and we had better anticipate them.” © Yen,’ said Scott, ‘I will charge in column, pass through their line, and turn their right flank.” He brought up from ‘the rear the remnant of his brigade, excect Jessup’ regiment, (and a small remnant it Was, Ebel} “Nor ott, ‘f shall move over this road, lane ) and when I order the charge, d the troops on the right of it com- mence firing.’’ This was done. Our fire was immedi- ately returned by the enemy's whole line. 0} some misunderstanding, produced in the darkness, p- commenced firing, wnich placed Scott's column between that and the fire of the onemy’s right. This was too terrible for men to endure who had alread) been so cut to pieces. The column broke; Scott himsel was severely wounded in the shoulder and returned to the rear. Colonel Leavenworth collocted all that aur- vived of the column which Scott had led to the charge, and joined Jeasup ou the right. The fire of the American line was very destructive, although the line waa muck reduced. The artillery was particularly effictive. Under the effect of this fire the enemy again retired from the field. Captain Ritchie, who commanded one of the artillery companies, was badly wounded soon after joining. Captain Towson ad- vieed bin to leave the ground, and return to Culppewe to have his wounds dressed; but he refused. jor Hindman, taking Ricchio’s horse by the bridle, and turn- ing Lis head towards Chippewa, said, ‘1 order you to rn."* “Then let my bridle go,’” said the Captain; when, wheeling his horse round, he dashed his spurs into his sides, und rode up to bis gun, which was some- what in advance of our line. Here horse and rider were both killed. A British officer, who was wounded and taken prisoner in « sub-equent action, and sent to our hospital, told Captain Schmuck that among the killed of the Awericans found on the field, on the morning after the batile of ra, was one, known by is dress to be 8 captain of artillery, whose body waa pi by thirty. aix balls. It wi doubtetly Captain Ritchie, as he war the only arti officer of that rank killed; and he fell upou the ground which was so fercaly dis uted between the two arm: is probable that ly re ceived many wouncs a'ter pe fell. ‘Twice after this did the enemy renew the Rigi ke were as often repulsed. Generals Brown ant et being both com)el by severe wounds to leave the field, the command devolved upon Brigadier General Ri . Betore Brown retired the enemy had retreated, the firing had ceased, and our troops were in undisturbed possession of the field; and before leaving the battle ground Brown said, ‘‘ General Ripley, I leave you in command. The victory is won. Secure the trophies; remain until our wounded and the cannon are ae of, and then return to camp.” As he passed Major Hindman and Captain Towson, who were superintend! the removal of the artillery from the bill on which it had been stationed, into the road, preparatory to con- veying it to camp, he informed them of the orders that ha¢ bern given to Ripley. Said Towson to him, ‘ Gene- ral, the greater part of our horses are killed, or unable to draw, on account of wounds. Such asare fit for use , and ap ted to return immediate’,. t, i hed to let the infant: bringing th i the road; the hae ordere to remain until that and the wounded are removed.” On returning to the hill, Tow- gon met the infantry leaving it, and no assistance was ob- tained from them.

General Gaines arrived, and assumed command, on the many a good story and “bot's little wh 4th of August. From the time of the enemy's ap- proach, up to the period of his Anal repulse, there was a war of pickets other hostile operations, not neces- sary here to detuil, at in which many an act of bold daring was performed, Fort Erie bn ‘at that time surrounded by & thick wood, approaching to within the average distance of one thoa- fand yards of the works. The enemy established his batteries in the edge of this wood. As the intervening open space was traverred by a number of ravines, our light troops would creep along these, to di-cover bow our enewy were progressing; and these exploits would be at- tended with more or less firing Our killed and wound- ed would be brought off under cover of these ri vines. Theirs, if they fell outside of the wood, juf- fered to lie. A propesal was made at one time for a ces- sation of hostilities, to enuble each army to bury their dead. After Brown’s sortic. the enemy retired, and left the United States troops in possession of this often con- tested ground; when several dead soldiers, in different stages of de ere found. nding the siege, the British increased the number of their batteries, extending them to the right, under cov- er of the wood. The Just one was about six buodred yards from Towron’s, and was com and ready to open upon him the next morning after the incident now to be related, occurred. General George M. Brooke, (then major,) was officer of the dsy; and, in visitlag the picket, be discovered the new battery, aud the state of ‘orwardness it wasin. Returning to camp, he ecommu- pviented the rp haoure 9 to Towson, aoe ded, we ha think proper, I will give you an opportunity to antici pa the fe te) the pe pA new battery!’ ‘How?!’ “I will take a dark lantern the first time I go the grand rounds thie evening, and hang it upon one of the trees | oma line between your battery and his, the door ot the lant rn will be open ov the side next you, and you can ditect your guns by it.” “Capitol! capital!’’ said Tow- ton, “but it will bea very peridous unsertaking " “1’ll do it,” said the major, gaily, “‘it will please naming bis lady-Jove. The lantern was suspended, and the fire of Towson’s battery directed by it, but with vhat effect was never known It was perhaps in return for this favor, that Brooke felt justified in laying Towson’s patience and property ia, by the ruse which we will now re- Fefore the army entered Canada, the captain being sick, had passed a fortnight ut a public house, on the American shore of the lske, a litule west of Buffalo, kept by a Ma Goodrich, and bad forwed au aequaiutance with his family. To this place the officers, who hed more horses than they wanted during the siege of Fort Erie, sent them to be pastured; changing them when neces: sary. On such occasions, the servants who were sent seross the lake with the horses, would procure vegota- bley, and occasionally & chicken or a duck, from the far- wers who lived near to Goodrich: paying, of course, ex- orbitant prices. One day during the siege, Brooke sent | a formal invitation to Towson, tequesting the honor of | his company at dinner, with a few friends. “Please to bring your ‘knife, fork’ and spoon with you,’ said the d the major will be obliged by the loan of any other articles of tuble furniture the captain may have.” The invitation was too tempting to be refused, and x for- mal acceptance was returned. When dinner was served, Brooke's guests were curious to know how he had been so fortunate as to obtain the means of entertaining them | so handsomely “O! my servant procured them when he went to Goodrich’s to change the horses. He can tell you the particulars; but we'll not eall for them till we've dined.’ None but those who have lived for a long time on camp fare, during a siege, can tell how much Brvoke’s fare was relished. Chicken pie reminded his guests of home, and the days of boyhood. Dessert was omitted, and ‘Tom was called upon to tell how he had obtained the chick- ens and vegetables that formed so important a part of the meal. Tom began to fumble in his pockets. ‘I’m afraid T’ve lost it,” stammered he. ‘Lost it—lost what?” “Mr, Goodrich’s paper—no—here it ia,’ pulling out a dirty, crumpled looking paper, and handing it to the Major. “Why. Tom, this is no: for me—’tis for Captain Towson.” ‘it’s the paper Mr. Goodrich gave me; he said the Captain must excuse it, as be had no other to write upon, and no wafers to seal it with.” The paper contained a list of eatables which Mr Goodrich had sent to Captain Towson by Tom, and on which the Major had levied black mail. Why,” suid the Captain, looking sternly at Tom—‘‘ why were not these articles and tnis paper brought to met” ‘TI obeys orders, sir,’ aaid ‘om, casting a glance at the Major, and raising himself erect, in the attitude of a soldier. Captain Towson turn- ed it off, by remarking, ‘It’s a pity, since the Major has taxed me so heavily to furnish out the dinner, that he did not go a step further, and borrow the sate ipot nder my battery to set the table, as we might then have dined witbout the liability to have our dishes disturbed by the enemy’s shot.” No accident occurred, however, during the dinner, and it was not enjoyed with the less gusto on account of the Major’s and ’s black mail ‘The assault and defence of Fort Erie was one of the sternest contests of the war. The asseult was made about two in the morning, with numbers superior to the Americans, and of the best appointed troops; and both by the enemy and our own troops many deeds of hero- ism were performed, which cannot be mentioned here. General Ripley rays:—'-On the tirat dre of the picket, Cap*ain Towson opened his artillery upon the enemy from "ort Wiliams ina style which does him infinite credit. It was continued with very great effect upon the enemy during the whole action. And in another part of report he eays:—‘‘I cannot refrain from adverting to in ich Captain Towson’s artillery was served; I have never seen it equalled. This officer haa #0 often distinguished himeelf, that to say simply that he ia in action is a volume of oulogium; the army, only to be informed that he is there, by a apontan ) are at once satisfied that he has performed wel! his part. I have no ides that there is an artillery offer in any service superior to him in the kno«! and perform. ance of his duty.’”’ The fire of Towson’s artillery and of the 21st infantry wes so terrible and destractive that the British column, after four efforts to rally and ad- vance, at length broke and fled, and the victory was early ond effectually completed upon this wing, Which fa ited the ultimate repulse of the foe, as aid was denpatched to the right to strengthen our troops in that quarter, who were sorely pressed. The British were compe lcd to retire to their ome with great loss—nine hundred ané fifteen men in killed, wounded and missing. ‘The Americans lost eighty-four. On the 24 of September General Brown again took command at Fort Erie. The British receiving continual reinforcements, renewed their efforts, and again pushed their batteries close upon the fort, and rendered them formidable. General Brown, for the purpose of checking and crippling the enemy, conceived the bold idea of « sortie for the destruction of hia batteries. The British force consisted of three brigades of about fifteen hun- dred wen each, one of which, alternately, was stationed at the batteries, while the other two remained at the camp. The object of the sortie was to surprise the bri- gade on duty, defeat or capture it, and destroy the bat- teries before the others could come to its aid. The suc- cess of the enterprise is well known to the country and to the world. On the 9th of October Major General Izard arrived from Plattaburg, with his division of 6,000 men, to relieve the besieged army, but found that they had relieved themselves by the brilliant affair just de scribed, and that the enemy had retired. Izard deter. mined to follow him, and try to bring him to action He found him 10 dispute the passage of the Chip. ‘a. the defences at that plece had been strengthened yy the construction of redoubts, and by extending » breastwork the creek, on the side of the ), to distance sufficient to cover their infantry and light and also, by a work on the opposite side of creek, defended 'by artillery. Upon reconnoitering the lines, it was discovered that his artillery was in t that there was no appearance of any other pt ; and this, with certain movements observed in the vi , created an impression that he was about to | abandon the post. In his letter to the Secretary of War General Izard by syed Some of my officers were induced to believe that the enemy were evacuating the post, and Major Brown was of this opinion. To ascertain the fact, which seemed to me incredible, in the apparent stato of their works, I ordered the whole of my little | train, of Towson’s and Archer’s companies— | the former three six-pounders and one five and a half inch howitzer, the latter two eighteen. to ad- | vance and fire on the batteries’ Nothing could be more | gallant than the p: of this little band. They advanced through the open ground, in fall view of the | enemy’s batteries, of twenty-four and twelve-pounders, formed the line without any cover whatever, and com. | menced a cool and correct cannonade, which was imme- diately answered by their adyersaries. The vast superi- ority of our artilleriats was dissernible by the most in. experienced eye. Every shot told; one of the enemys batteries wae silenced. The intenied effect was pro. duced, and it, was —_ that, so far from abandoning their posts, iepe ish were in strength, gee superior in number of weight of metal. ‘The firing con- tinued til ‘hen I directed aur pieces to be with drawn for the night.
