THE GOLLAPSE 0F CORNWALLIS. A Review of the Great Revolu- tionary Events of One Han- dred Years Ago. The Death Blow to British Tyranvy Struck by the Al- lied Armies. Memories Freshened by the Annie versary. The sicge of Yorktown and the sur- render of Lord Cornwallis and his army was the real culiminating event of the great revolution which severed the American colonies from the Brit- ish empire. One hundred years have floated down the stream of time since that event, and froma weak confedor- ation of thirteen colonies has come, in that brief time, a great nation, re- spected by all the world for its on- lightenment, and tor the wonderful progress it has mhde in wealth and power. The century which has pass- ed has been a great ome. Time, thought and experience had not wrought in vain, when a century ago, the statesmen of that period under- took the work of founding a nation, The declaration of independence which they made sounded through the world, and awakened everywhere spirit of liberty that has been grow- ing involume ever sinco, The insti- tutions then founded on this conti- nent were based on principles so just and humane, that when administered with due wisdom aud skill, they will never embarrass or restrain the prop- er activitien of men at any pomt. Our government stands a model, which other nations will carefully copy in due time, as they can adapt them- selves and change their irstitutions. Itmay not be a literal copy, but the spirit breathed into the great declara- tion penned by Thomas Jefferson is rapidly becoming a potential intluence in the structure of all civilized gov- ernments, In the great revolutionary struggle of 'a hundred years ago, France, then raled by a crowned head, was our faithful ally. She is now a republic, modeled to a great extent after our own, and no country m the old world is 80 prosperous, nor is any people more contented. It is & significant fact that these two allies in a great struggle haye remained friendly ever since, in spite of all the complications which the clashing interests of com- merce have developed, and to-day the representatives of that government and the descendants of the noble Frenchmen who participated at the siege of Yorktown, are on our soil as honored guests of the country which their ancestora helped establish among the powers of the world. The . British government, against which we then warred, has now with us most friendly relations, and is proud of the honor of having been our mother country. Slight jealousy of her aspiring offspring, it is true, she has occasionally. exhibited in the course of the century which has elapsed since her forces laid down their arms to ours, but that spirit ap- peara to_have been eliminated from the English statesmen and. people of the present -day, and it is mot likely that the friendshlp of the two coun- tries will ever again be disturbed by the clash of arms. Possessing, then, the highest friend- ship and regard for the nation which was our enemy in the revolutionary struggle, it is not improper that we should celebrate the centennial auni- versary of the surrender which closed the war, and] it is not inappropriate that the incidents of the Yorktown campaign and the leaders who figured in it prominently *should be briefly noticed. Lord Cornwallis surrendered the British army of Virginia and the south to Gen. Washington at Yorktown on the 18th day of October, 1781; and, though it was not until March, 1783, that the preliminaries of a peace treaty were signed between the colonies and Eng- land, this surrender decided the strug- glo and the British military power offered no further effective resistence. Gen Phillips, the English commander under Cornwallis, and the traitor Benedict Arnold had been harassiug that part of Virginia all through the spring and summer of 1781, Baron Steuben, the noble old Prussian officer, had done magnificent service in upholding the causeof the colonists, His little army of militia was kept on and about the peninsula, while all the regulars that could be spared were sent south into the Carolinas to rein- force Gen. Green against Cornwallis. The months of May and June brought Lafayette with 2,000§Freuchmen and Destouche with a French fleet. Ina naval fight in the Chesapeake between the French and a British fleet, the former was driven north, Cornwallis later in the summer was forced to leave the Carolmas and marched his army north, intrenching himself at Yorktown. Meanwhile Baron Steuben had incrcased his Virginia troops in numbera and converted them from militia into soldiers, and Gen, Lafay- ctte had also strengthened his com- mand. Gen, Washiogton then con- ceived the plan to pen Cornwallis up in Yorktown and capture the ontire British army south of the Chesapeake. It was a cowmplete success, and the strongest of the British armies in Amwmerica, with the best generals, ca- itulated on the 18th of October fol-| owing. Whilo Baron Steuben and Gon. Lafayette were, next to Wash- ington, mosc conapicuons on the American side, Gen. Knox contributed in no small degree to the glorious re- sult. Hehas been called the hero of tho Yorktawn campaign becauso of the great artillery fire that had so mqp% to do with tho defeat of the enemy. Gen. Knox commanded our artillery, and was the American artil- lerist. ~ His services were of the first order; and it is believed that his effec- tive artillery fire compelled the enemy to surrender before the arrival of Sir Henry Clinton with a fleet and army to attempt the deliverance of Lord Cornwallis. Agreement was made for the sur- render on the 18th, and on the morn- ing of the 19th Washington sont the | articles of capitulation to Lord Corn wallis, accompanied by a note in which he requested that they be signed by | it ‘ 11 o'clock, and that the troops surren- der their arms by 20'clock in the after- noon. Accordingto historical deserip- tion the surrender of the arms and standards was one of the most impos- ing and affectine spectacles ever wit- nessed 1 warfare. It was high noon when the alliestook possession of York- town, detachments from each army ocenpying a redoubt on the left of the works The field chosen for the for- mal surrender of arms and standards is about a mile from Yorktown on the Hampton turnpike, It is a wide plain, descending in long, sweeping un- dulations toward the York river. The way thither was lined by the allied troops, the French on the left and the Americans on the right. The former were gallantly arraycd, their white un- iforms, plumed hats and gilded stand- ards gleaming fawously iu the ardent sun. The Americans presented a sombre, though soldierly, appearance, Their dress was not uniform, and was much worn, Their heads were proud- ly erect aud every eyo beamed with gladness. The French and American colors were unfurled near the front of the columns—the one the golden flour de lys on a white silk ground, and the other the simple but beautiful stars and stripes. At the head of each arme was its commander-in-chief, mounted upon a magnificent charger. Sur- rounding each were his staff and his general officers. As the positions were being taken the French band dis coursed its most inspiriting strains of martial melody. Washington was magnanimously solicitous that his fall- en foes should not be insulted, and re- quested his soldiers to refrain from checring. Posterity would give them suflicient applause. ‘A vast concourse of people,” says a historian, “‘almost equaling in num- ber the military, was assembled from the surrounding country to partici- pate in the joy of the event. Uni versal silence prevailed as the van- quished troops slowly marched out of their intrenchments and passed be- tween the combined armies,” They had on the previous day been given uniforms, and their long tiles appeared in all their acarlet splendor; Eut, [ the Abbe Robin observes, ‘‘all their finery served only to humble them the more, in contrast with the miserable appearance of the Americans.” The eye witnesses of the scene dwell upon the lively expectation which was felt by all thy allies of seeing Lord Corn- wallis, whose name and qualities had inspired them with respect and admi- ration. They were keenly disappoint- ed, however, for he did not come, be- ing opportuncly indisposed. ‘Gen. O'Hora led his army and bore his sword. He sought out Gen. Rocham- beau, at the head of the French line, and tendered him the humbled sword. The French commander simply desig- nated to him Gen. Washington, who sat upon his white steed immediately opposite, telling him that the French army was ouly auxiliary to the Ameri- can, and the formal honors of the sur- render belonged to the latter. Gen. O’Hara approached Washington and wasabout to draw the sword from its scabbard to present to him. The lat- ter made o negative sign, and ex- claimed: ‘“Never from so brave a hand.” The soldiers oxhibited great vexation in laying down their arms, and one ofticer was seen to bite his sword in silent rage. The prisoners numbered 7,198. One thousand of these, being sailors, were, together with the shipping in the harbor, sur- rendered to the French admiral. Two hundred and ' seventy-four cannon, 7,320 muskets and 4457 horses were taken. The colors of twenty-eight regiments were delivered. By death, wounds and desertion the enemy had lost previous to the surrender 652 men; the French 50 killed and 125 wounded; the Americans 27 killed and 73 wounded, Immediately after the surrender three aides-de-camp, in the name of Washington, of Rochambeau and of Lafayette, presented themselves at Cornwallig’ quarters to express a po- lite solicitude regarding his health. On the evening of the.22d he was in- vited to dine with the Comte de Rochambeau, but all the delicate efforts of his hosts could not dispel his meclancholy. Similar attentions wore shown the other captive officers. The French particularly were untiring in their courtesies, and won the esteem and gratitude of those who but lately had cxecrated them. Thatcher describes the appearance of Yorktown three days after the signing of the capitulation, “‘I have this day,” he says, ‘‘visited the town of York to witness the destructive eflects of the siege. It contains about sixty houses, some of which are elegant. Many of them are greatly damaged and some totally ruined, being shot through in a thousand })llmeu and honeyed-combed, ready to all to pieces. Rich furniture and books were scattered over the ground, and the carcasses of men and horses, half covered with earth, exhibited a scene of ruin and horror beyond de- scription. The earth in many places is thrown up in mounds by tga force of our shells, and it 18 difficult to poiot to a spot where a man could haye resorted for safety.” Washington's general order, issued on the occasion, contained the follow- ing’ just tribute to the allied troops: The general congratulates the army upon the glorious events of yestorday. The generons proofs which his most. Christian majesty has given of his at- tachment to the cause of America must force conviction on the minds of themost deceived among the enemy relative to the good consequences of the alliance, and inspire every citizen of these states with sentiments of the most unalterable gratitude, His fleet the most numerous and powerful that over appeared in these scas, com- manded by an admiral whose fortune and talents insure great events—an army of the most admirable composi- tion, both in oflicers and men, are the pledges of his friendship to the United States, and their co.operation has secured us the presont signal success, The general on this occasiun entreats his excellency, the Count de Rocham- beau, to accept his most grateful ac- knowledgements for his counsels atall times;he presented his warmest thanks to the Gens. Baron de Viomenil, Chevalier Chastellux, M:m‘uin de Saint-Simon and Count de Viomenil, and to Brig.-Gen. de Choisy, who had a separate command, for the illustrious | manner in which they have advanced | the interests of the common cause. He requests that Count de Rochambeau il AR Er s army under his command the high sense he entertains of their distin. | guished merits of the officers and sul- 1:horu of overy corps, and that he will present in his name to the regiments of Agenois and Deux-Ponts the two picces of brass ordnance captured by them as a testimony of their gallantry in storming the enemy's redoubt on the night of the 14th inst., when ofti cers and men so universally v with each other in the exercise of every virtue. The gencral's thanks to each individual merit would comprehend the whole army, but ho thinks himself bound by affee- tion, duty and gratitudo to express his obligations to Maj. Gens. Lincoln, Lafayette and Steuben for dispositions in the trenches, to Gen. Deprtail and Col. Oarney or the vigor and knowl- edgo which wore conspicuous in_the conduct of the attacks, and to Gen. Knox and Col. d’Abeville for their great care, attention and fatigue in bringing forward the artillery and stores and for their judicious and spirited arrangement of them in the parallels, He requested the gentle- men above mentioned to communicate his thanks to the officers and soldiers of their respective commands. In- gratitude which the general hopes never to bo guilty of, would be con- gpicuous in him should he omit thank- ing in the warmest terms his excel lency, Gov. Nelson, for the aid he has recoived from him and from the militia under his command, to whose activity, omulation and courage much applause is due. The grgtness of the acquisition will be an_ample compen- sation for the hardships and hazards which they encountered with so much patriotism and firmness, 1n order to diffuse the general joy through every breast the general orders that theso men belonging to the army who may be in confinement shall be pardoned, released and join their respective com- wands, Divine service is to be per formed to-morrow in the seyeral brigades and divisions. The comman- der-in-chief recommends that the troops not on duty should universally attend with seriousness of deportment and gratitude of heart which the re- cognition of such reiterated and as- tonishing interpositions of Providence demand of us, It was not until the 24th of Octo- ber that congress then in session in Philadelphia, heard of the surrender.

Windows flew open; heads came out, and neigh- bors exchanged conjectures, and every one dressed in haste. Soon the streets wore thronged by thousands of ex- cited people, and joyous shouts re- sounded everywhere, torches blazed, and the old man who was keeper of Inaependence hall, who had rung the birth of independence, was aroused from his bed and set the bell going as the cannon began to belch forth théir thunder in hunor of the glorious event. Patriots saw throughgloom which had 80 long prevailed, the dawn of peace. It was a famous victory, and will be splendidly celebrated.
