OLD STORIES HE-TOLD.
CULLODEN.
livery one who admires the works of Hogarth
will remember his inimitable March to Finch
ley. That picture represents the rabble rear
f King George the Second's Guards staggering
past the Adam and Kve publio house at the
northwest corner of Tottenham-court-road, on
their way to meet the Pretender at Culloden.
They are encumbered with Moll Flaggons of
the most disreputable character. Their oos
hme is garish, clumsy, and ungainly; yet tho
tight and cumbrous uniform, with hideous white
PfatterdahheB, those conical fool'B caps with
lbraei plates in front, have been under
lire at Dettingen and Fontenoy. Heforo
they taste the Adam and Eve gin and ale again,
they will have let the breath out of many a
lbagpipe, in ppite of the greed of the Camp
' bells, the ire of the Drumuionds, the pride of
the Grahams, and the lierceness of the M ar
rays, liven that smart, pretty boy, the fifer,
Will march straight at the gleaming claymores
and the fluttering tartans, as cool as if he
were going to troop the colors in Falaoe-yari
On a quiet Sunday morning.
It was a cold February day in 17 It) that Ho
garth went slyly to watch the Guards march
north; for the Duke of Cumberland, recalled
by the news of the defeat of llawley's veteran
cavalry by the rough rush of Charles Stuart's
Highlanders, reached Edinburgh on the ."Oth
ef January, after four days' hot posting.
There was quite a scene at a military levee
in St. James' Palace the day before the gal
lant bnt rather tipsy Guards started to
Bootland by the way of Finchley. King
George had called together his officers,
wishing to Eend on reinforcements; but
was unwilling to order the Unards because
they had only recently returned from a harass
ing campaign against the French. The kiug
was a "doll little man of low tastes" (Thacke
ray) a little, dapper, cholerio fellow, with a
red ace, white eyebrows, and eoggling eyes;
lie was a bad husband, an un-English king,
and a oruel father; he swore at his subjects; he
smuggled away his father's will; he would
tiek his coat and wig about in his indecorous
passions; he even injured Dr. Ward's
ehins; yet it must be oonfessed he
was a high-spirited, bold little soldier,
for he had fought stoutly at Oudenarde
nder those great captains, Eugene and Marl
borough; and at Dettingen he had advanced on
Joot, and, amid a "feu d'enfer," shaken his
nword at the combined horse and foot of
France. He was in earnest now, fully re
solved to die King of England, and, if his
son, the Duke, was repulsed, to head Ligo
cier's and Pulteney's men, and have a last
grapple for the crown. The Duke of New
castle fussy, false, and shambling; ridi
culed by Bmollet as the butt, yet the mas
ter of England was of couise at the levee.
The king spoke to his officers of the preca
rious state of the country, and asked all who
were willing to meet the rebels to hold up
their right hands, and those who would rather
not, to hold up their left. Up instantly went
every right hand. The little red-faced man
burst into tears, bowed, and retired. The next
day the Guards marched, and at the corner of
Tottenham-court-road, our little quick-eyed
friend, 'William Hogarth, intercepted them
with his sketch-book. Years afterwards, out
tide the gate of Calais, the painter saw some
of the Highlanders the Guards met at Culloden,
ragged, beggared exiles, lying on the stones
mnching stolen onions, dining on a pinch of
ennff, and thinking of the distant lakes and
mountains with that passionate homesickness
that seems peculiar to the mountaineer.
When Hogarth' jpioture was taken to the
king, he grew very red and furious indeed
over it. He did not like his Guards made
fun of.
"I hate bainting and boetry," he spluttered.
"What ? A bainter burlesque my Guards !
He deserves to be bicketed for his insolence.
Away wid the trumpery." liicketing was
hoisting a soldier on the sharp back of a
wooden horse out on the parade in St. James'
Park, and was by no means a joke. Hogarth
also eflervesc d when he heard this, and dedi
cated the picture at once to his Majesty's rival,
the King of Prussia; by the bw token, he
fat only one to Prussia, and was much
antered in consequence. ae2?3
The Young Pretender, according to the
Whig accounts, though he looked a noble and
a gentleman, was no hero. The Jaoobites
compared him to Robert Bruce, and were
never weary of praising his kingly courtli
ness, his affability, his gallantry, and his
kandsome person. He was in reality a good
looking young man, with bright complexion
and fair hair. The Tories believed they saw
ia bin not very aoute and rather sensual
face the hard lines and ill-omened
expression of the Stuart race. His
yes were small, but lively, his neck short,
bis chin inclined to double. He generally
wore a short tartan waistooat and trews, his
blue garter, at his button-hole a St. Andrew's
rets hanging by a green ribbon, but no star.
When marching with the army he donned a
broad blue bonnet edged with gold laue. At
the Holyrood balls, when leading his fair
partisans with the white breast-knots down
the dance, he appeared either in a dress of fine
f ilk tartan with crimson velvet breeches, or in
the English court dress of the period, with a
diamond star glittering on his breast.
On the 12ih of April the Young Pretender
being at Inverness, the Duke of Cumberland
a corpulent young man, with rough and arro
gant manners forded the Spey at the head of
the luiglusn army. He reached lilgin on the
Uonday, and on Tuesday Nairn, only sixteen
miles from the insurgents. On the 15th, being
his birthday, the army lay at Nairn, and were
feasted with brandy, cheese, and biscuit.
On the 14th, the Prince ordered his drums to
beat and his pipes to "skirl" through Inverness
to eollect hiB half-fctarved and undisciplined
men, and the Highlanders shouted as he
walked through their lines: "We'll give
Cumberland another Fontenoy. "That night
be bivouacked in the park round Culloden
House, four miles from Inverness. Orders
were sent to collect the Vrasers, the Keppooh
Macdonalds, the Macphersons, the Macgregors,
come of Glengarry's men, and the Eai1 of
Cromarty'B Mackenzie, who were scattered
over the country in various predatory expedi
tions. The men that day had only a Bmall
bntk bannock each, and many of them there
lore retired to Inverness in Bearch of food.
The only hope Charles had of suooess was
to retreat to his best friends, the mountains
dov the duke away from the sea and hU
tlotuallinc-shiriH. and lure him into defiles and
ravines, where his cannon would be sacrificed
and hiB dragoons useless ; but the young man
was aieer for fijzhtinf., for his men were etarv-
Vdif. and their ardor was fast melting away.
There was Inverness to protect, and the Irish
and French officers were for holding out on the
moor, which was in parts boggy and unsuited
tosavalry. Lord George Murray, however, who
bad the true military instinct, disapproved
of the ground, as many great authori
ties have sluoe done. He was wisely
tot faUinr back to a Lick, undalatiar,
And logv.r tract the freulh aid
of the river Nairn, which would have been
inaccessible to the doke's horse and guns; but
his colleagues were all against him. A night
attack on Cumberland's camp was then unani
mously agreed on, and seemed to promise
some hopes of success. The duke's revelling
army wsh to be surprif ed and cut to pieces by
the broadswords before it could reoover from the
first fierce and unexpected onslaught. The
English camp was only nine miles distant
across the moor, and it was hoped they would
reach it at about midnight. The Pretender
gave, as a watchword, his father's name,
"King James the Eighth."
Then embracing Lord George Murray, who
started at eight in tho eveniug with the fore
most column, he placed himself at the head of
the rear guard. The order was to use no fire
arms, only dirk and broadsword, to cut down
and overturn the English tents, and stab at
every bulging or projection in the canvas. Hut
even "the starB in their courses fought against
Sisera;" all went wrong. Many detours were
necessary to avoid bogs and splashes. The
van guard fell behind, the men dropped anide,
and could not be kept together. It was 2 in
the morning before Lord George reached tho
old house of Kilravock, three miles from the
duke's camp. It would bo daylight directly.
A di um beat in the distance, or a horse neighed,
and it was pre;-unied the enemy was alarmed.
Lord George reluctantly gave the order to
retire. The Prince, in his iirst anger, accused
his faithful and only souud adviser of trea
chery; but, when he cooled, he agreed in the
necessity of the. measure, and exclaimed,
" 'Tin no matter. We shall meet them, and
behave like brave boys;" but the Highlanders,
broken in spirits from want of food, were not
like the men who at Preston had swept off
arms with a single blow of their scythe-blades,
or who, single-handed, had driven before thetu
Hocks of dismounted dragoons. Still they
were at bay and in earust, full of fight,
and proud of their former successes against
the king's troops.
And now let na descrile tho field of
battle. Drummoissie Moor (Culloden) is
a large heathy, mossy, melancholy
moor, traversed longitudinally by a by
road, and sprinkled with a few shielings,
each with its little tributary kail patch. It
is two miles inland from the south shore of the
Moray Frith, five miles from Inverness, and
ten or twelve from Nairn. Inverness was be
hind the rebels; on their right, a rolling range
of blue Ross-shire mountains across the river
Nairn; on their left, the sea, with the park of
Culloden stretching downwards towards the
shore of the Frith. To the east, says Robert
Chambers, the moor spreads away like a shore
less sea, as far as the eye can reach.
The Prince's army, drawn up in two lines,
consisted of only about 6000 men. The right
was protected by the turf walls of a Bmall farm
stead. The left extended to a plashy morass, in
the direction of Culloden House. In the front
were the clan regiments of Atholl, Cameron,
Appin, Eraser, Macintosh, Maclachlan, Maclean,
John Roy Stuart, Farquharson, Clanronald,
Keppoch, and Glengarry. The second scanty
line comprised the low country, the French
and Irish regiments, Lord Ogilvie's, Lord
Lewis Gordon's, Glenbucket, the Duke of
Perth. Four small caunon were placed at each
wing, and four more in the centre. Lord
George Murray commanded the right wing,
Lord John Drummond the left, and General
Stapleton the second line. Charles himself
stood with a small body of guards upon a
mound in the rear of the whole.
The front ranks of the Highlanders were
armed with mubkets, broadswords, pistols,
and dirks. They carried on their left arms a
round wooden target covered with leather, and
studded with nails. They had also small knives
stuck into the garters of the right leg. Some of
li a tuiT ronV man nAirnnu nnf t.waf.. .1
were shoeless and half naked. They carried
their cartridges in pouches on their right side.
Many of them wore the philabeg, or kilt,
pulled through betwixt their legs, so as to
leave the thigh almost naked. The artillery
men, also in kilts, had reared beside every
gun cylindrical shields of wicker-work to pro
tect themselves. Those of our readers who
have seen a Highland regiment, can picture to
themselves the large-limbed, stalwart swords
men, in the prime of their manhood, looking
as it they could not die; the white cockades of
the Cragsmen gleaming, their dark-green,
MacK, ana scarlet tartans lluttering in the cold
moor wind that shook the oak, yew, and box
tree badges in their bonnets.
About eleven in the forenoon, the dim grey
line of the distant moor, bright with April
sunshine, gloomed and darkened with the ad
vancing lines of Cumberland's army, that
gradually widened out, and glistened with
steel points. The Prince went out to the moor,
and ordered a cannon to he hred, to summon
his stragglers.
I he royal army was disposed in three lines;
the centres of all the regiments of the second
line being behind the terminations of those of
the nrst, and those ol the third line occupying
a similar position in regard to tne second. Thus
the various bodies of which the army consisted
were in a manner indented into each other.
13otwixt every two regiments of the first line
were placed two cannon. The left flank was
protected by Kerr's Dragoons (the 11th).
J "I . 1 . T . . .. . . . . "
u utter voionei iora Ancrum; tne right by a
bog; and Cobham's Dragoons (the 10th) stood
in two detachments beside the third line. The
Argyle Highlanders guarded the baggage. The
disposition thus made was allowed by tho best
auittormes to nave oeen aamiranie; because it
was impossible for the Highlanders to break
one regiment without finding two ready to
supply its place. The insurgent army was
also allowed to be very well posted, upon a
supposition that they were to be attacked.
There is a contemporary print which repre
sents the English army as it now appeared.
The burly, cholerio young duke wears a star on
the breast of his long, still, gold-laced ooat, and
is adorned with a close curled wig and a three-
cornered cocked hat. He is riding, and point
ing out a regiment with his walking cane. The
grenadiers have cocked-hats, long surtouts,
sash-belts, swords, and long white gaiters.
The fumes of the Adam and J.ve ale have dis
persed long ago in this keen Scotch air. The
colors rise and blossom from the centre of each
regiment. The officers, with their spontoons
(halt-pikes), stand at the wings. The drummer-boys
are a little in advanoe. The dra
goons look solid, but clumsy; their skirts are
long ana loose, tueir massive uoois Bquare
toed. their stirrup-leathers larger, their pis
tols bigger, their carbines more unwieldly
than those our cavalry now use. Men ot tne
Unole Toby and Corporal Trim character are
in those ranks side by bide with young Wolfe
(afterwards the hero of Quebec), and officers
of the Colonel Gardiner btamp simple-hearted,
pious, and brave.
Ever since the routs of Preston and Falkirk,
the duke (who really had some head, though
rontenoy, like tho ltelaklava charge, was
only a magnificent blunder) had been study
ing how to make the bayonet superior to the
broadsword. Hitherto, when a Highlander
came flying down at KiugUeorge'B grenadiers,
winged with his Btormy tartans, he oaugh
the bayonet In hi. Urt, then turning aside
with bis brawny and hairy arm, leaped in ou

hand. The duke, no mere strutter
about parades, had thought out
a remedy for thiB. He conceived
that if each man, on coming within the proper
distance of the enemy, should direot hiB thrust
not at the man directly opposite to him, but
against the one who fronted his right-hand
comrade, the target would be rendered useless,
and the Highlander would be wounded in the
right side, under the sword-arm, before he
could ward off the thrust. Accordingly, he
had practised the men during the spring in
this new exercise. When they had taken their
morning meal, they were marched forward
from the camp, arranged in three parallel
divisions of four regiments each, headed by
Huske, Sempill, and Mordaunt, having a
column of artillery and baggage upon one hand,
and a filth-horse upon the other.
Duke William's speech to his men betrayed
some anxiety as to the behavior of tho sol
diers we saw start to Finchley. They were to
be Aim and collected, and, forgetting all past
failures, to remember the great object which
had hi ought them to that bcoteh moor. He
represented the enemy to be merciless, aud
that hard fighting was the only chance of
safety.
He was grieved, he added, to suppose that
there could be a person reluctant to fight
in the British army. Hut if there were
any there who would prefer to retire,
whether from disinclination to the cause,
or because they had relations in the rebel
army, he begged them, iu the name of God, to
do so, as he would rather face the Highlanders
with one thousand determined men at his
back, than have ten thousand who were luke
warm. The men, catching enthusiasm from
his language, shouted, "Flauders ! Flauders I"
and impatiently desired to be led forward to
battle. It was suggested to the duke at this
juncture that he should permit the men to
dine, as usual, at 1 o'clock, as they would not
probably have another opportunity of satisfy
ing their hunger for several hours. Hut he
rejected the proposal. "The men," he said,
"will fight better and more actively with
empty bellies; and, moreover, it would be a
bad omen. You remember what a dessert
they got to their dinner at Falkirk I"
This was like the young hard martinet, who
forgot that we English at least always
fight best when well fed; but Duke Wil
liam was a man who never had any
pity. The army advanced in formal mili
tary order, the hedges of bayonets glancing
and flashing in the cold sunlight. The
crimson colors flaunted, and one hun
dred drums, rolled valiantly by little cocked
hatted men, sounded a challenge to the angry
Highlandmen. Lord Kilmarnock predicted
deteat to the white cockades, when he ob
served the duke's cool, measused, determined
advance. About 6ix hundred yards from the
rebel lines the marsh became so deep that
the soldiers were up to their ankles in water,
and the artillery horses floundering in the bog,
some of the men sluug their carbines and
dragged the cumbrous guns through the brown
swampy pools. As the moor was dry to the
right, the watchful duke then ordered Pulte
ney's regiment to join the Scots Royals and
another body of horse to cover the lefc
wing. At five hundred paces from the em
battled clansmen the duke halted his troops.
The day now, as if glooming for the catas
trophe, became overcast; the sunshine faded
away, and a drift of slanting snow began to
beat sharp and cold from the northeast. This
discouraged the Highlanders, and raised the
spirits of the English and Hessian soldiers.
Charles, feeling the disadvantage of this blind
ing rain, made some clumsy attempts to out
flank and get to windward of the duke, but he
was baliled in each attempt, and the two
aimieB returned to their iirst positions.
countermarches that a poor shock-headed
mountaineer resolved, with the spirit of an old
Roman, to sacrifice his life for his prince and
his clan; he craftily approached the English
lines, demanded quarter, and was sent to the
rear. He, however, contrived to lounge
through the lines, paying no regard to the
rough ridicule of the soldiers. Lord Bury,
son of the Duke of Albemarle, and aide-decamp
to the duke, happening just then to pass
by in a riciiiy laced dress, the crafty High
lander suddenly snatched a musket from a
soldier near him, discharged it at an officer
whom he mistook for the duke, and stoically
uore tne snot lrom the ranks that instantly
stretched him dead.
In most battles the strueele is which shall
first gain the benefit of being the assailant.
in tins battle the ellort was which should be
the last to attack, and by this unwise delay
the Piince wasted all the ardor and fire of his
impetuous irregular troops. The first shots
were fired by the unhandy, reckless Highland
artillerymen. They blazed away at a clump
of horse, among whom they supposed the duke
was stationed, but the shot passed high over
their heads.
How many a heart far away was beating for
the men of those two armies ! The little,
strutting, dapper, choleric king wa3 thinking
of his son; Fielding, perhaps, over his wine,
was deriding the cattle-stealing Highlanders.
In many an English cottage prayers were
offering and tears shedding tor humble Diok
and Tom in the ranks. For those fieroe men
in the plaids, too, supplications were rising to
heaven from many a grey-haired old shepherd
on the mountains, many a fair-haired lassie
by the loch-side, many a mother in the lonely
glen. '
A few minutes after one, Colonel Bedford
received orders from the duke to open a can
nonade on the Pretender's, army, to provoke
the Highlanders to advance. Major-General
Husk on the left, Lord Temple on the right,
and Brigadier Mordaunt iu the centre, as well
as Generals Bland and Hawley, who guarded
the cannon at the wings, could ice the

The duke, too did his part in his own doml
Meeting way-calling on Tom of Btepney, Dick
ot llighgate and Joe of Whitechapel, to stand
firm, to let the Highland savages fuel the bavo

reserve to strengthen the second Hue for there
were terrible jeports of those broadsword men
how they lopped off arms as if they were
only carrots, aud could cut a dragoon clean
throuiih to the waist at a single blow.
The duke was unwilling to attauk the Prince
while he had bis turf walla to guard him, aiul
th Prinoa was nnwillinr to surrender hia
valuable shelter. But if the doke Lad no
heart the Prince had no brains, for he allowed
his Highlanders to le cowed by half an hour's
cannonade; although ever since the victory at
Preston they had treated English artillery as
mere popguns, always certain to be taken by a
determined rush. In everything he showed in
competency to govern other men or to govern
himself. At last he sent the order to charge,
bnt young Maclachlan, his aide-de-camp, was
killed by a cannon ball before he reached the
front to eonvey it. Lord George Murray, in
the mean time, had ordered the attack without
waiting for the tardy Prince; but. even before
he could pass the order round, the Mackin
toshes, a brave clan never before in action,
galled by the fire, their hot Celtic blood un
able to tamely endure the slaughter of their
friends, all iu a glow with rage, had tightened
their belts (scrugyrd), pulled down their bon
nets over their brows, flashed out their
claymores, aud shouting the war-cry of
the clan, rushed from the centre down
upon Barrel s and Mnnro'smen. A Lowland
gtntleman who saw that wild charge, and
looked along the Highland lines, described the
aluiost supernatural passion which lit every
fate and burned in every eye. Alter them,
swift as deer through the steel and smoke,
then rushed the Athole-men, the Camerons,
Stuarts, Erasers, and Macleans, with Lord
George Murray chivalrously waving his
sword at their head. In two minutes a tor
rent of steel bore down all along the line on
those firm masses that had maiched from
Finchley.
The storm had broken at last. The Duke's
cannon on the wings mowed them with "car
touche" (grape?) shot. The front rank of
Cumberland's army kept their firelocks steady
at them, and Bwept and lashed them with fire,
while Wolfe's regiment tormented them ou the
Hank. It was musket ngaiusi swuru.
Hiehlanders first fired their pistols, then flung
themselves like wild cats among the bayonets,
Blabbing and stabbing like madmen. The duke
must have looked anxiously through the hot
smoke; but when it drifted off, the long lines
of white gaiters were still firm in the rear,
though the front had partly gone down, the
few Highlanders loft giving way before the
shattering fire. Only three of the Macintosh
officers escaped; a few still hewed at the bayo
nets, and died at the very feet of the Sassenach
soldiers. One sinewy fellow, Major Jonn Mor

enemy's cannon surrounded by grenadiers, of
whom he struck down twelve before the hal
berts went home to his heart. The bodies of
these fierce fichters were afterwards louna in
swaths three and four deep.
But the charge was, unfortunately, not
simultaneous. The pride of the Macdonaids
was hurt by their being removed to the lelt

lie would ratner nave tne natue lost man
acknowledge himself unworthy of the post of
honor. In vain the loung rretenaer promised
to take the name of Macdonald, and ever here
after, if they fought Well, to place them in the
van. No. They sullenly discharged their
muskets, and slowly advanced, but they would
not charge. They endured the English fire
with souied and sullen faces, only hewing at
the heath with their broadswords. When
the other clans gave way, the Macdonaids
turned, too, and lied. Heart-broken at this,
their colonel, the Chieftain of Keppoch, an ex
cellent and chivalrous man, exclaimed: "My
God, have the children of my tribe forsaken
me V and advanced upon the .hngiish alone,
his sword in one hand, his pistol in the other.

The young Chevalier's front line was now re
pulsed, but there was still a hope of the Lowland
regiments; yet there was no time to heal them.
for Lord Ancrum's and Cobham's Dragoons
were, now pouring in on the flanks, through
the inclosures that had been broken down by
the Argyle Highlanders. Some Irish pickets
kept up a spirited fire and checked the dra
goons, who were sabring the unhappy Mac
donaids, and one of Lord Lewis Gordon's
regiments stopped another squadron to the
right ; but when the English infantry moved
forward to charge, the Highlanders fled in
spite of all the entreaties of Charles, Lord
ueorge, iocniei, sneridan, Ogilvie, and
Glenbucket. It was a rout, and the
Babres were after the brave men. hot. fast.
and wrathful. Yet the English dragoons
had been terribly handled. The Clan
Chattan are said to have only left fifteen men
of Barrel's regiment alive. The rear of the
rebels broke into two masses, one proceeding
by the open road for Inverness, the other ford
ing tne water ot JNairn and taking to the hills.
Charles stood stunued, confounded, and in
tears. As to his conduct. Whig and Torv his
torians differ, as they do upon almost every
other subject connected with the Scotch rebel
lion. The one party says O'Sullivau turned
the head of his horse, and dragged him away
the other that Lord Elcho entreated the Prince
to rally the men and charge again, and, on his
refusing, rode off with contempt, vowing never
iu nee m late ngaui.
The official account of the battle was cold
soiaier-iiKe, and matter of fact. It Bays of the
Highlanders, that they came running on in
their wild manner upon the right, where his
royal highness had placed himself, imagining
the greatest push would be there. They came
down there several times within a hundred
yards of our men, firing their pistols and bran
dishing their swords; but theltovals and Pnl.
teneys hardly took their firelocks from their
shoulders, so that after these faiut attempts
they made eff, and the little squadrons on our
right were sent to pursue them. General
Hawley had, by the aid of our Highlanders,
beat down two little Btoue walis, aud came in
npou the right flank of their second line. As
their whole Iirst line came down to attack at
once, their right somewhat outflanked Bar
rei b regiment, which was our left,, aud
the greatest part of the little loss we sus
tained was there; but Blyth's and Sempill's,
giving a lire upon those who had outflanked
Barrel's, soon repulsed them, and Barrel's
regiment and the left of Muuro's fairly beat
tLem with their bayonets. There was scarce
a soldier or officer of Barrel's, and of that part
of Muuro's which engaged, who did not kill
one or two men each with their bayonets and
spontoms. 'Tis thought the rebels lost about
two thousand men upon the field aud in
the pursuit. We have hero two hundred aud
twenty-two French and three hundred aud
twenty-tix rebel prisoners. Lieuteuuut-Colouel
Howard killed an officer, who appeared to
be Lord Stiathallan, by the seal and different
commissions from the Pretcuder found in
his pocket. The killed, wounded, aud missing

Sent to Carlisle till his majesty's pleasure
shall be known. Four of their principal
ladieB are in custody namely, Lady Ogilvie,
Lady Kinloch, Lady Gordon, aud the Laird of
M'lutosh'a wife.
The pursuit was oruel and bloody. For
four miles along the moor the Highlanders
wre hewn down. Borne of these luckless
men died like heroes. Golic Macbane, a man
six foot four high, nnaing mmsen woumieu,
singled out, alone, and at bay, Bet his back to
wall, aud with his target ana ciaymore nore
the onret of half a dozen dragoons who
crowded at him with their long swords. The
officers cried, "Save that brave fellow ;" but
the soldiers cut his head through before ne leu
amid thirteen of his dead enemies. The right
wing crossed the Nairn with unbrokon resolu
tion. The dragoons seemed afraid to touch
them ia their despair. One officer, who tried
to seize a straggler, was out down with a sin
gle blow, and his slayer coolly Btooping down
over the body, removed the gold watch.
1 he cruelty after the battle was increased by
a rumor that the Pretender had ordered his
men to give no quarter. The dake
himself was cold and unrelenting. His
men were ordered to go over tho field
and bayonet and cut down the
wounded. This work was down with brutal
jocularity, splashing each other with blood, till
they looked (as one of them has reported) like
nuii ners. i be duke is said to have ordered
Wolfe to pistol a young colonel who lay
wounded; but Wolfe refused, Baying he would
never consent to become an executioner. Un
armed men Were cut down in the very streets
ot Inverness. The next day the reckless duke
continued his cruelties. Seventy poor wretches
were dragged from under the heaps of slain,
und despatched by platoon firing. Seventy
two fugitives, found in ne1ghloring hovels,
were also butchered in cold blood. In one hut
alone thirty-two blackened bodies were found
amid the ashes. Nineteen wounded officers.
sheltered in the court-yard of Culloden House,
were also carted out and shot against the park
wall. Of one hundred and til'tv-seven nri-
Eoners sent by vessel to London, only fortv-
nine survived the cruelties of the eiyUt mouths'
voyage.
The English soldiers were seen for days
strutting about in the rich laced waistcoats
and hats of the Pretender and his generals.
The English only lost, in this battle of forty
minutes, one officer of distinction Lord Robert
Kerr, the second son or the Marquis of Lothian.
a captain in Barrel's regiment. He received
the first Macintosh on his spontoon, but wa3
instantly beat down by a dozen thirsty broad
swords. .The news of the important victory reached
London on the 24th of April. The dapper
king rejoiced, Sam Johnson secretly lamented.
The Park and Tower guns soon bellowed out
the news over the red multitudinous roofs; at
night there were bonfires throughout London,
and every Bteeple clashed out rejoicings. The
Duke received the thanks of the English Par
liament, and twenty-live thousand pounds a
year addition to his income, and the name of
The Butcher from the Scotch. As for the poor
Prince, he rambled about the Western Islands
for live months, skulking in shielings and
shepherds' and fishermen's huts. On the 20th
of fceptember, he escaped to France in a vessel
fitted out by an adherent, who had been pro
mised a baronetcy by the old Chevalier if he
could rescue his unfortunate son.
. When the Master of Lovat, that enormous
scoundiel, who arrived too late for Culloden,
came to London to end his bad life on Tower
hill, Hogarth, - remembering the march to
Finchley, went out to see him at Uighgate,
and he drew the Bubtle old rogue counting up
the Jacobite clans on his picking and stealing
fingers. All the Year Hound.
