The following truly able and eloquent article
has been in type foreaveral weeks,. and . post
poned from day to day.to give room to other
matter, of anitivortatit general new rbar , wter.
It is from Forney's Philadelphia Prescof the
9th of August, and will imply, repay our read
era fora careful. perusal :
Twa Samoa Rumen —Semi-occaaionally,
*"between the glirdpses of the moon,". we get 4
stray number of that excently weekly, the &oil
tith Amnions gotewei, which oontaltia a larger
and bettg digest of .old worldinews than any
othqr, newspaper on this side ofthe Atlantic. Id
a recent number, the editor—we may now call
him the surviving editor
_as his excellent aria
tenanted associate;ittibert Davidson, wee,
one of the gallant'beventyannth Blighlandent
who fell at the battle of Bull. Run, on the 21st
ultimo—the editor recorded the mut that sevr
eral of the principal military 'leaders of the
United States in the present noble struggle are
descendants of t3ccdolniten, General Scott hay'r
ing an ancestor mho feßat Culloden, and',Secr
retary Cameron being of the family of the
"Great Lochiel."
Mr. William Nesbitt, of New York, following
this up, in a subsequent number of the paper,
says l. "By accounts I have lately received from
Kirkcudbright—my native place---I learn that
General McClellan is n'tiescendant of a Very ad
cleat and illustrious Galloway' family-rthe Mci-
Ciellints of Kirkcudbright and Cornbie; 'allied to
the ancient 'Knights of Lochinvar.' The fami
ly were ennobled' by Charlesl,in 1688, the then
representative, Sir Robert McClellan of Bornbie
being created a peer
_tinder the title of Lord
Kirkcudbright. The last lord of that name
died about _thirty years ago, in rather reduced
circumstances, leaving no issue. The `title is
now extinct. ' The ruins of the old family castre
now form the most: conspicuous object in the
ancient burgh of Kirkcudbright, on the banks
bf the river Dee. Many:of the deeds of the Me- ,
Clellans , are still recounted in the legendary
lore of the district. The name of McCleilaa
has Peen alwaYs associated with all that ..s
- noble patriotic and daring, and I am proud to
think that in the person, of the worthy. American
scion, it is, still so. i Sir William ,McClellan, an
ancestor of the above, family, also fell at
Flodd,err." '
, In point of fact, Camden Grey. MacClellaii.,
;tenth Baron Kirkcudbright, in the peerage of
Scotland, died in „Adp, . when,: for want of a
male heir, the title i hecame extinct. His wido l t ,
survives Shewos daughter of tthe lite Colon 1 ,
Townes' Gorges. Lora liirkeudbright left an
only daughter, Camden Elisabeth, Who • was
*rriad , ., in 1882, shortly before her fathe i r4s
death, to James Staunton Lambert also s -

Donegal, Donald, and McDougall. . They ha e
been a leading family in western Gallottay froin
time immemorial ; and like many other ancient
Scottish families, their name and origin are
1 hidden in the night of antiquity."
We wish that Mr. Nesbitt has ',told us some
thing about the. Camerons. We must. endee
,-
1 vor to .relate what he has left untold about
them.

The Clan Cinnamon l which had a common
origin with the Clan Chattan, was one of the
twelve great Scottish' sepia ror families entitled
to have supporters to their heraldic arms-la
tilignity'peculiari beyond 'those twelve, to pe o is
alone. - In. the fourteenth century, the Ch -
erons and the Chattips divided--on a matter bi
landed, property-4.nd their respective chitin--
pions, thirty against thirty, fought that cart
' braced combat at Perth, in the.year 1896, be

which Scott hen: an.'.-iSFF 4, EideellY •flescrilied m

conouered„and the Qlan Chattans never recov
ered the disgrace of the defeat.
,
It is asserted by Scottish historiana, that the
real name of the Chui phameron or Camenin
was Maeerruisi. The founder of the race was
desdended, it was" said; from a younger son - bf
the royal house of Denmark, who.assisted at the
restoration of Fergus 11, in 401. This proge*-
tor had rtpecullarity'in his nasal organ, and
the Gaelic term Oaanterim, i. e. Wryness, fist
gitran to the indiiiiltud; was eventually assur.h.
ed by the clan aol'its actual patrptyrido.
. . .
The CaMerons had their:; seat In Lochaber,
as far back .as wt., be distinctly traced. The
more.. modern 'possessions_ of Lochiel and
Locherkaig, -situated on the, 'lrestern ` side of
the Lcehy, .in Perthshire,_ :were :.:originally .
granted by the_Lord of .the Isles to the founder
of clan &mild, from whose descendauti they
passed' to the Camerons. After the defeat Of
the clan . Chethm, on the Lich. of Perth the

declared . himself independent. After the

and rivals, during the ; next ,century, Sir Allen
Cameron; succeeded by his son Sir Ewen,
addekgreatly by_ conquest to the family pot- '
sessions. In the middle of the seventeenth
ceohYy there, was a second Sir Ewen Cameron,'
one of, the heroes of, that age, who was the bud
.of th e : h dares to submit to Cromwell,
who finitly obtained his submission on tie
honorable ,terma, Simply .oni his parole; and
without oath or bond, of living in peace with
" the powers that be." Pull idemnity was
made to him and his tenants and follewers for
all hmiste, onstahaed fmn the Commonwetdtli's
troops, and : complete 'idemnity was granted
to all the ,Cameroun.: ',whist, as lair Evan
Oanieroa is generally called, lived in peace
until the Restoration .and remained in trampfil,

of 1688, when, refusing a title and a large

Of this Sir Evan Cameron, Donald, the chiv
alric chief usually_, known an "the gentle_ Lo=
cliiel," was , the grandson. Thomas Campbell;
the pOct, truly stab* that, so important was
his influence among theltigliland chiefs, it de
peaded on his joining -with his clan whether
the standard or Prince Charles shonld be raised
or not 1745. He was well aware of the hope
leafiness of the condtiot: . butthe Prince appease
to hie loyalty, and to-that he sacrificed his
judgment. "Had the rest of the clans assem
bled on the field of Culloden ,behaved like the
Camerons and the AthOle Ilighlandem," Dr,
Black says, 4 &(..n. had wren sustained therri in the
.gallant attack, the name of Cumberland would
not have acquired so infamous an immortality
in the Highlands of Scotland, and the British
would have been spared'the disgrace afterwards
'brought upon it by the ignomini' oil convention
of Cketer-Seven: lard Mahon, desCribing
Lochiel, says he was "full of courage, hospi
tality and honor ; a true model of that chival
rous character Which, poets have feigned oftener
than fotind, in feudal elite:s3l" and again, "hip
eniugi in war, his courtesy and charity in
peace, are recorded even ,by his political (he
coeld have no private) enemies."
Lochiel, who was wounded at Culloden,
shared the dangers of Prince Charles' flight,
and accompanied him to Fronde in September,
1746. "He went," Lord Mahon touchingly
records, "but not with him departed his re
membrance from the Highlanders. For years
and years did his name continue enshrined in
their hearts and familiar to their tongues ; than
,plaintive ditties, resounding with his exploitS,
and inviting ' his return.'
Among the 'forfeitures which, followed the
,Rebellion of the Forty-five as it is called, were
these of the ,I.lochiel estates. Eventually, they
were restored, and still remain in possession of
the Cameron amily.
In August,. 1798, letters of service, authorii
big him to raise a regiment, were issued to
Allan Cameron of Errach, by the British Gov
ernment, No bounty was allowed, as is usual,
but the men were recruited at the sole expense
of the officers. In 1745, and again in 1746, the I
clan Cameron numbered about 800 men ' and
the regiment was soon raised in 1794. Allan
Cameron was appoiAted to command "the
'Cameron Ilighhmdefir," Which hi the Seventy
ninth regiment of infantry in the Britt&
army. They : were in the. - unfortunate wire
paign in , Flanders in 1796, and, went to.
the West tidies in the same year, and
sequently served in the expedition to the
Helder in Egypt ; under Sir John Moore` in
Portugal, until he , fell at...Corm:lmi; in the
1 expedition' to Zealand; from 1810 to 1814, in
1 the Peninsular War ; and at the battles of
Quatre Bras and Waterloo. From the time tlie
Ciumnon Highlarelers . were embodied, in. 179 ,
down to the memorable _ 18th of dune (Waterloo
day) in 1815; ib3 total of killed and ivokinded.
was 1,188. Their Colonel, who became Liente
nant General, Sir Allan Cameron, died'in 182)3.
At the battle of. Fuentes d'Honor, in MO,
1811, ins aldest son, Lieutenant •Colonel
Owner= was 'killed. It seems destined that
the :Cameron shall attest their Welty by the
life-blood of their nearest flowing on the field
of battle.
Either of the Oamerons, who have fallen
combat, might truly and proudly utter the stir
ring words !which the poet put into , the mouth
of ' the gentle Lochiel :
Though my perishing ranks should be strewed
in their gore,
Like Ocerin , Weecls heigied bri the' 'surf-beaten
shore,
Lochiel, untainted by fight or by chains,
While tbekingdom of life in his bosom remains,
Shall victor exalt, or In death be laid low,
With back to`the field, and his feet to the foe
And leaving in battle'no blot on his name, '
Look proudly to Heaven from the death bed of
fame..

FROM GEN, BANK'S OOLUMN.
MONTGOMERY' COUNTY, Mn., Sept. 2
An eye-witness states that the affair at Con
rad's Ferry, a week- ago, was as follows : A
party of Union scouts crossed the river, took
two prisoners, in arms, and four horses. Reach
ing the river, on their return, they succeeded
in getting two horses over; when they were
attacked and compelled to let the prisoners go
The next day a battery appeared opposite our
entrenchments and commenced'shelling us. No
battery being there at ' the time, our men re
sponded with their muskets and rifles.
Three days subsequent to the exchange of
courtesies, a large rebel camp was discovered to
be within range of out rifle batteries, and near
Leesburg. An active bombardment soon caused
the rebels to leave their quarters for a safer po
sition, a mile, at least, further front the river.
Our artillerists say that they threw shells from
their rifled guns over and beyond the town of
Leesburg.
Information given by negroes, induced a
search yesterday, south of Poolesville, for arms,
supposed to be intended, for Maryland rebels in
the rebel cause. The search w a s. successful.
Some twelve or fifteen complete cavalry equip
ments were discovered and retained by our
scouts. Residents of •the neighborhood assert,
however, that the equipinents belonged to a
company of home guard cavalry which was
raised last winter, to guard against a rising of
the negroes ; that the company was outfitted
by the State, but owing to the distance from
the'placiof assembling at which many of the
members , ftved, the company was disbanded be_
fore General Patterson took command of the
department.
The captain and some of the'offieers are now
is Viiglnia. The company wag named the
roolesville Light Dnigoons. Two men, sup
posed to be active stxxstrionists, were captured
at the sane time by scouts from the Twenty
ninth Perinsylvaiiia Iteitipent, Colonel Murphy.
