Allan Ramsay, Esq. painter to his Majesty, who died Aug. 10, 1784, in the 71st year of his age, much regretted by his friends. BOSWELL. See ante, p. 260.
The bullets of the enemy began to drop lower. The cheering had furnished them the clew they needed. They had located our position, and the 71st atoned for this thoughtlessness by the loss of nearly eighty men, as it lay cowering in the underbrush near Balloon Fork. Just before reaching the Aguadores ford, the battery was met by Col.
"Come with me," he said to Penhallow and Haskell of the Staff, who had just joined them. They went down in front of the guns to where behind the low wall lay the two thin lines of the Pennsylvania regiments. He spoke to the Colonel of the 71st, who with other officers was afoot encouraging the men. "Keep cool, boys," said Gibbon. The men laughed. "Oh, we're all right, General, but we ain't cool."
The majority of this board are about equal, in point of experience and ability, to the management of an oyster stand in a market. Such expressions as 'them laws, 'sot the table, '71st rigiment, and 'them arguments is played out, may be heard on almost any Monday or Thursday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, in this sumptuous chamber.
"The Back Water men have crossed the mountains: McDowell, Hampton, Shelby, and Cleveland are at their head, so that you know what you have to depend upon. If you choose to be degraded forever and ever by a set of mongrels, say so at once, and let your women turn their backs upon you, and look out for real men to protect them. "Pat.

On return to the battery, there were no signs of being able to enter the action with the gallant 71st, and, acting under the second clause of the instructions, the Gatling battery was moved forward at a gallop. Major Sharpe, a mounted member of Gen. Shafter's staff, helped to open a way through this regiment to enable the guns to pass.
The position of affairs was now so critical that Sir Neville Chamberlain himself determined to lead the columns detailed to assault and retake the picquet. In this fine advance the 71st Highland Light Infantry, supported by the Guides, made the frontal attack, and so impetuous was their charge that the summit was reached and the enemy driven from it with little loss.
He was thoroughly familiar with the country, while the troops composing this wing were exhausted by the charge. This wing had no reserve that the firing-line knew of, and, as a matter of fact, had none except two battalions of the 71st New York, which had not got into battle, and which were scattered along the road from the San Juan River to Siboney.
Furious Fighting. Horse killed. Sad Scene. Rebels gaining. Struck by a Shell. Another Horse killed. The Wounded Cavalryman and his Horse. Sleep in the Camp of the 71st Ohio. Startling Reveille. Result of First Day's Battle. Victory for the Rebels. Arrangements for Second Day. Bloody Scenes. Grant's Attack. Rebels fall back. Fluctuations of the Day. General Hindman blown up.
Much sympathy is just now felt everywhere for the ex-queen of England in her enforced retirement. She would have been perfectly safe in returning to England; and she will, probably, before long, again take up her residence at Osborne or Balmoral; but the extreme unpopularity of the ex-king makes his return at least undesirable.
