What we know is, That these Russians did scramble through, punctually perform their part of the work; and furthermore, that, having got upon the Town-Wall, which was finis to everything, they punctually sat down there; and, reflectively leaning on their muskets, witnessed with the gravity and dignity of antique sages, superior to money or money's worth, the general plunder which went on in spite of Loudon's orders.
Loudon's Columns came on with extraordinary vigor and condensed impetuosity; stormed the Outworks everywhere, and almost at once got into the shelter of the Covered-way: but on the Main Wall, or in the scaling part of their business, were repulsed, in some places twice or thrice; and had a murderous struggle, of very chaotic nature, in the dark element.
Lord Loudon's departure from New-York, with all the forces he was able to collect, afforded the marquis de Montcalm the fairest occasion of improving the successes of the former campaign. That general had, in the very commencement of the season, made three different attacks on fort William-Henry, in all of which he was repulsed by the vigour and resolution of the garrison.
Thus, a drawing is made, without even looking at the paper, but solely at the object. White Cats. In a recent number we quoted from Loudon's Gardener's Magazine, that "white cats with blue eyes are always deaf," of which extraordinary fact there is the following confirmation in the Magazine of Natural History, No. 2, likewise conducted by Mr.
Loudon sends a second trumpet: 'Surrender prisoners; honorablest terms; keep all your baggage: refuse, and you are cut down every man. 'You shall yourself hear the answer, said Goltz. Goltz leads this second trumpet to the front; and, in Pommern dialect, makes known what General Loudon's proposal is.
At Greenbriar. See "Narrative of Captain John Stewart," an actor in the war. Magazine of American History, Vol. I., p. 671. Loudon's "Indian Narratives," II., p. 223. See "American Pioneer," I., p. 189. Letter of George Rogers Clark, June 17. 1798. In Jefferson MSS., 5th Series, Vol.
One of her favorite resorts was what was called the "Near Woods," a piece of forest land not far from Mr. Loudon's house, and within calling distance of several dwellings and negro cabins. She visited Aunt Matilda nearly every day; but the woods around her cabin were principally pine, and pine forests are generally very sombre.
Russian main Army clean gone; already got to Jauer, as we hear; and Beck with a Division to see them safe across the Oder; only Czernichef and 20,000 being left, as a Corps of Loudon's. Who, with all Austrians, are quiet in their Heights of Kunzendorf again. And thus, on the twentieth morning, September 10th, this strange Business terminated.
Loudon's house was still sleeping soundly Harry, who had a small room at the front of the house, was awakened by the noise of a horse galloping wildly up to the front gate, and by hearing his name shouted out at the top of a boy's voice. The boy was Tom Selden, and he shouted: "Oh, Harry! Harry Loudon! Hello, there! The telegraph things have come!" Harry gave one bound.
It was bright daylight. But Harry had not come! There was no news. Mr. Loudon and his friends were still absent. Poor Kate was in despair, and could not touch the breakfast, which was prepared at the usual hour. About nine o'clock a company of negro sumac gatherers appeared on the road which passed Mr. Loudon's house. It was a curious party.
