HISTORIC AL INCIDENTS CONNECTED
AV IT H THE CAPTURE or FORT
DUQUESNE.
[CONTINUED.]
While the n.lvahoed division of the army iay
at the Loyal Henning, near Fort Ligonier, Ma
jor Grant marched to the vicinity of Fort ;Da
que:lne, where he was defeated. The folloi'ing
letter, publi. , ,heil soon after in the Pennsylvania
Gazette, gives the fullest account of that affair
which we have seen :
ANNAPOLIS, OCTOBER sth. 1728.
"We are informed by a letter from Frederick
County, that on Monday, the 11th of September,
Maj. Grant, of the Highland regiment, marched
from our camp on the waters of the Kiskimini
tae, with 87 officers and 805 privates, taken
from the different regiments that compose the
Western Army, on an expedition against Fort
Duquesne.
'The third day after their march, they ar
rived within eleven miles of Fort Duquesne, and
halted till three o'clock in the afternoon ; then
!marched within two miles of Fort Duquesne, and
left their baggage there, guarded by a captain,
two subalterns, and fifty men, and marched with
the rest of the troops, and arrived at eleven o'clock
at night upon a hill, a quarter of a mile from
the fort. Maj. Grant ~ , n t two officers and fifty
men to the fort, to attack ail the Indians, &c.,
they should find lying out • f the fort; they saw
none, nor were they challenged by the sentries.
'As they returned, they set fire to a large state
house, which was put cut as soon as they left it.
At break of day, Major Lewis was sent with 200
men, (ro,s, al Americans and Virginians,) to lie in
ambush a mile and a half from the *rain body,
on the path on which they left their baggage,
imagining the French would send to attack the
baggage guard and seize it. Four hundred men
were posted along the hill facing the fort, to
covet' the retreat of Capt. ild'Donald's company,
who marched with .drums beating toward the ,
fort, in order to draw a party out of the fort,
as Ma). Grant had some reason to believe there
were not above 600 men in the fort, including
Indians; but as soon as they heard the drums
they sallied out in great numbers, both French
and Indians, and fell 'tzpon Captain M'Donald,'
and two columns that:were posted lower on the
hill to receive them. The Highlanders exposed
themselves without any cover,, and were shot
down in great numbers, and soon forced to re
treat. The Carolinians, Marylanders, and Low- ,
er Countrymen, concealing themselves behind
trees sad the brush, made a good defence; but
were overpowered by numbers, and not being
supported, were obliged to follow the rest. Maj.
Grant exposed himself in the thickest of the fire.
and endeavored to rally his men, but all to no
purpose, as they were by this time flanked on all
sides. Major L-wis and hie party came up and
engaged, but were soon obliged to give way, the
enemy having the hill of him, and flanking him
every way A number were drove into the Ohio,
must of whom w-re drowned. Major Grant re
treated to the baggage, where Capttiiia Bullet
was posted with fifty men, and again endeavored
to 1 , 1 y the flying soldiers, by entreating them
in the most pathetic manner to stand by him,
burnall in vain, as the enemy were close At their
heels. AS soon as the enemy came up Capt. Bul
let at tacked them very furiously for Borne time.
but not being supported, and most of his men
wie otlged give way. However, hi•
tackiog them -topped the pursuit, SO as to giv•
m icy an o i Forturly of escaping. The enem'
f 'lowed M jor G •nt, and at last separatt d
them, and C ,pt Litt Bu I.:t VHS obliged to mak
Lir. He im.igtues the JI jtr inner be taken, as he
was surrounded on ad sides, but the enemy
would rot him and often called to him to
surrender. Tt.e French gave quarter to all that
would accept it "
On the 14 b of Oztober, the rear division of
the army advanced from Raystown, towards
Loyal Banning Oa the same day a letter was

The above letter and list from a Pennsylvania
Gazette, and is the only account we have seen of
the affair•
On the IBth'of November, General Forbes ad
vanced with the rear division of the army from
L eye' Haneing, and on the 24th arrived near
E',n•t Duquesne, where the incident noticed in the
I,ilowing paragraphs occurred:
"We received the following account of some
in, ;dents which occurred on the'day ofthe taking
possession of this place, by General Forbes, from
an esteemed friend. to whom it was related ,to
Captain Craighead, who commanded a company
of Provincials on that day.
'•Oa the evening -of the.-:2sth of November,
1758, General Forbes effgmped.,tvrelve miles
from this plape. D aring th 6 day he had received
telligence that the French comnianclatit was
peeparing to' abandon Fort Duquesne: The do
f-nt of General Braddock, only three years be-
IJLe, was too recent to be forgotten, and of course
operated as a salutary hint to General Forbes,
eat to rals%an.le rashly. The intelligence, there
f rr, even if br!lieved, was not to - be relied up
o:., and was not communicated to the troops.
"Oa the learning of the next day, the 25th of
N :vember, 1758, the 'army advanced from their
ea , ,anipment —the provincial troops in front, fol
f,J Wed by a body of Highlanders.
'Upon tneir arrival near Fort Duquesne, they
entered upon an Indian race path, upon each
aide' of which .a numb& of stakes, with the bark
pn,•led off, were stuck into the earth, and, upor
each stake was fixed the head and kilt of a High
laudsr
,wno had been killed or taken prisoner at
Grant's defeat. The provincials, being front,
obtained the first view cf these horrible specta
cles, which it may readily be believed excited
no very kindly feelings in their breasts. They
passed along, .however, without any manifesta
tioa of their violent wrath. But as soon as the
ilighlandere camein sight of therremains of their
c nritrymen, a slight buzz was heard in thornlike,
which rapidly swelled and grew - louder and
louder- Exasperated not only by the barbarous
ourrages upon the persons of 'the' tinfortiinate
fellow eoldiers who bad fallen only , a few days
before, tintmaddened by. the insult whioh was
oc•tiveyed by'the exhibition of their kilts, and
which they well underetood, an they had long
1.,,-en nicknamed the •petticoat warriors' by the
I ndii.ns, their wrath knew no bounds.
rapid and violent tramping was
heard, and unniediately. the whole corps, of the
Highlander 4, with their'mu-kete abandoned, and
brood s words drawn,passed the provincials, foam
ir g with rage,:and resembling, as Coptain Craig
head coarsely expressed it,'mad boars engaged
in battle,' swearing iengeance and extermina
tion upon the French troops who had permitted
such outrages Their march was now hastenid
—the whole arm, ai,ved forward after the High
landers, and when they arrived somewhere about
where the canal now rasees, the Fort was dis.
covered to be in flames, and the last ,of the
boats, with the flying Frenchmen,
were seen
passing down the Ohio by Smoky Island.—
Great was the disappointment of the exasper
ated Highlanders at the escape of the French,
and their wrath subsided into a sullen and re
lentless desire for vengoance."—Pcansy/vonia

AT La.ly Napier's late ball, the wife of the
Count de Sartiges wore diamonds to the amodnt
Of several thousands of dollars. The lace robes .
worn by Mrs. Matthews, of Alabama, cost $BO4lO.
Mrs. Glwin, of California, also were a robe!of
Honiton Lie.e, 'valued, with its decorations, at
$2,600. The dress worn by Lady Napier cost
nearly the sane figure. -.'
