Thin con spicuous fact, however, goes far toward explaining it. In the early years of the war the enemy struck at the head of the revolt. Unsuccessful there, they turned in later years to secure the weaker section, the s fodticpd by isolation and exhaustion For a ti(ue success—rapid and alarm ing success—attended the execution of this plan. In 1778 Savannah was ta ken and (Jeorgia overrun. American attempts to retake the city in the fol lowing year proved disastrous. In May, 17HO, Charleston fell, and Lord Comwallis assumed the command. By tbe month of July he had occupied the principal poiuts in the Htnte At {.his erisij ' Congr.es* bent Hates into the southern field, who in August of the same year suffered the crushing defeat at Camden, which seemed to lay open everything below Virginia to the occu pation and ravages of the enemy. Com wallis, to all appcurawcs, was master of the situation. Even Greene, who bad next been appointed to face him, as the only hope of the Americana, did I not dare to rink a battle until tbe spring |of 1781, and then considered himself fortunate that he was not beaten as badly as he might have been. The two brilliant affairs of King's Mountain and tbe Cowpros, it is true, bad mean while temporarily disconcerted and de layed tbe British general; but should he still snccecd in delivering a damag ing blow at Greene, their effect would be entirely neutralized, and the country south of the James come under his power. A blow was finally given on March 15, 1181, at Guilford Court House, in North Carolina, near the Virginia border, and had it proved in every respect another Camden, the in terests of the British in tbe south might have become very securely root ed. But rigiit there at Guilford Court House we have a crisis in the cam paign, a turn in British affairs which led straight on to the Yorktown catas trophe. The victory over Greene was won at too great a cost to l>e pursued, and Cornwallis found himself compell ed to retire to the coast to refit and re enforce his exhausted and diminished army. lie fell back, or to tbe right, to Wilmiugtou, North C'arolija, and for tbe time being surrendered tbe situa tion to his lately beaten antagonist, so that the south, at least above the South Carolina liDe, yet remained to be conquered. « Notwithstanding this apparent re treat, these operations from the capture of Charleston to Guilford won for Cornwallis a great reputation. He had proved himself the boldest, the most original, and tbe most dangerous of the British leaders, and bis successes reviv ed the spirits and hopes of tbe ministry at home, who still expected that from Wilmington ho would continue his conquering career. Greene called him tbe "modern Hannibal," and La Fay ette referred to him as that "formida ble" Britisher who made no mistakes. His next step wan awaited by the Americuus with deep interest und not a little anxiety. The course which Cornwallis deter mined to pursue from Wilmington in volved an important personal question as well as vital consequences. When Sir Henry Clinton, tbe commander-in chief at New York, subsequently held him responsible for his surrender, he turned back to this Wilmington decis ion aB one of the causes, if not, indeed, the main cause, of tbe disaster. Corn wallis bad made up bis mind to push into Virginia, aud reduce that "power ful province," as he styles it, before operating again to tbe south of it; for it is to be uoticed that, notwithstand ing his brilliant detour from Charles ton northward, and the flattering com pliments il provoked at bome, be was secretly conscious that the sum total of advantages gained amounted to noth iug, and that the whole field would have to be fought over agaiu, by begin ning, however, at tbe other end with the conquest of Virginia, and there he proposed to carry the war. Clinton ufterward pronounced the decision to Ixj contrary to the spirit of his instruc tions, which required him to hold uud secure South Carolina. By inarching to Virginia he was abandoning it. "Had you intimated the probability of your intention,!' wrote Clinton to Corn wallis iu May, "I should certainly have endeavored to have stopped you, as I did then as well as now consider such a move as likely to be dangerous to our interests in the southern colonies." And tbirteeu years later wbeu Clinton was answering ihe criticisms of the historian Stedman, lie again insisted that "Cornwall)* bad been ordered, ttiid had promised, in ease of failure in North Carolina, to fall back on South Carolina and secure it." To all this Cornwallis bad tbe ready answer that a return to South Carolina was imprac ticable, that at so great a distance he had to act according to his best judg ment, und that Virginia once sub dued, the lower provinces would fall "without much difficulty." The two generals continued the controversy Ut a jater date with some acrimony, but Cornwallis had tho moral support of the home minister, and the com mander-in-chief actually found himself obliged to accommodate bis own future plans to this movement of his subordi nate. Whatever the merits of the case, we have the undisputed fact that Corn wallis entered Virginia uguinst the expectations and wishes uf his superi or. The final movements of our 'modern Hannibal,' the ill-timed necessities which compelled him to coop himself up behind intrenchments at Yorktown, compose a distinct and absorbing act in this military drama. Tbe dreuin of laying Virginia at bis feet, which at one time seemed to be on tho point of realization, was rudely interrupted by ftn qncifpctitcd oombinatiou of circum stances. He had now reached a point wh'-ro be could not act as Independ ently as Is-fore. Ho was just near enough his chief at New York to find that the two must thenceforth co-o|>er ate, and as Clinton presently discover ed t|int bis moyunicuto must be deter, mined by those of tbe Americans and their French allien, both on land and sea, we find Cornwallis likewise ham pered by what may lie called u triple contingency, namely, the possible movements of Washington, the uncer tain operations of French aud British fleets, and the consequent plans enforc ed upon Clinton. When combinations finally Isigan to take definite sha|M) to ward the c|cme of t|s were Involved that success still seemed an aggravating un certainty. A campaign, nevertheless, was arranged. On the' 23d of May, Washington met Count de Rocham beau, commanding tho French allies at Newport, in conference at Wethers field, Connecticut, where it was agreed that the French should join the Amer icans on the Hudson, and an attempt bo made to capture New York city. A request was sent later to the Count de Grasse, admiral of tbe expected fleet iu the West Indies, to co-operate by entering the harbor. This was Wash ington's plun, while it would seem that Rochambeau, although yielding to him, had misgivings lb regard to It At the same oonferenoo tho project of marching to Virginia was alluded to, but it was held that that State could bo relieved quite us effectually by at tacking Clinton in tho north, und pre venting him from sending further ro enforeeiuents southward Still, every thing depended upon De Grasse, With out him the year would probably closn with matters continuing in utatu i/uo ; with him a great blow might be struck somewhere, and that sowwhere was now the problem. Although Washing ton had committed himself at the Wethersfiold conference to an attack upon New York, and expected the co oporation of the French admiral, we find, as the summer advanced, and the situation in Virginia changed by tbe retirement of Cornwullis to the sea coast, that he recognized the possibility of a change of plan on his own part, aud this before Do Grasso's final desti nation aqd intentions were known. By the 2d of August ho ha I informed La Fayette of tbe contingency that might take him to Virginia, where they could unite in falling upon Cornwallis; and be had Hounded Mr. Roliert Morris as to transportation from Philadelphia, from which we are to infer—as indeed one of his letters authorizes the infer- once—that even had De Orasse come to New York, Washington was ready to suggest his sailing back to the Ches apeake, while the army would more to the same point. In other words, the march upon Cornwallis, perhaps tbe most splendid episode of the war, was an alternative plan already maturing in Washington's mind before word came from De Grasse that for good reasons he should not sail further north than Virginia De Grasse's announcement that he would be in tbe Chesapeake about the first of September, and that be expect ed to meet the allied army there and not at New York, did not reach Wash ington until August 14. At once the latter turned his entire attention to tbe descent upon Cornwallis. Demonstra tions had been made against New York in July with a serious intent, but now they were conducted as a feint. It was of the greatest importance that Clinton should not suspect the intended march until Washington was well on his way southward. The plan remained a pro found secret with both tho American and French chiefs. The troops were put on the move agaiu toward the city as if for an attack, and when they turn ed about and crossed the Hudson at King's Ferry, late in August, the feint was still kept up on tbe Jersey side for a day or two, when the entire force headed for the Chesapeake. On the 2d of September the American wing, two thousand strong—four thousand having been left to guard tbe Hudson under Heath—marched through Phila delphia, followed the next day by the French contingent, which delighted Congress and the citizens with its in spiring music and brilliant appearance. Here tbe news was received that De Grasse had arrived in the Chesapeake with a powerful fleet, and Washiugton pushed on with the livliest anticipa tions of success. The troops took the straight road to tbe head of the 101 k and Baltimore, and after a short delay embarked in transports for the James. In spite of tbe fatigues of tbe march they were all in good spirits, with hardly a sick man among them, and Beemed to realize the probably decisive results of tho movement they were en gaged in. "We shall soon look in upon Cornwallis as stern as tbe gravo," wrote an officer to a friend in the North, and be only reflected the gen eral expectation. From Baltimore, Washington aud Ilochambeau and their suites rode rapidly overland, stop ping at Mount Vernon on the onod but by attempt ing to go to his relief by sea. La Fayette's little army at Williams burg, the American part of which had been hovering about aud dodging Corn wallis ever since be entered the State —once, indeed, attacking him at Green Springs, near Jamestown, but without success—received Washington with unbounded enthusiasm. As he ap proached the camps with Kocharobeau, the troops turned out on their parades, a salute of twenty-one guns was fired, and later in tho afternoon the Marquis St. Simon gave a sumptuous entertain ment, at which tbe chiefs and all tbe ofUccrs were present. "To add to the happiness of tbe evening," says one of tbe guests, "an elegant band of music played an introductivo part of a French opera, signifying the happiness of tbe family when blessed with the presence of their father, and their great de|>end ence upon bitn About ten o'clock tbe company rose up, and after mutual congratulations und the greatest ex pression of joy, they separated." In a h-w days tho troops from the north ward arrived in transports from the bead of tbe ChrKa|M)ake, landing near Williamsburg by way of tbe James, and on tbe 27th of September the com bined force was ready to move upon Cornwallis at Yorktown below. The situation thux preaented wax tb« groat surprise of the devolution. It appears as one of the few grand relieving feat ures in an otherwise comparatively tedious war, for here we have a piece of strategy on Washington's part which involved for tbe lirst time exten sive and critical movements, and whose details were carried out with singular precision and success. Clinton is oiiiet ly left in the lurch at New York; Washington boldly marches four hun dred miles away, and suddenly cruah es his famous lieutenant at a point where assistance can not roach him. The (Kisitton at Yorktown, on the bunk of the York River, so formidable in the late war, proved a weak one as Cornwallis was situated. He threw up works around tho place, and occu pied the high ground, nearly half a mile beyond, on the Williamsburg road, then known as "Pigeon Quarter," a name still familiar to old residents of tho [ilace. It was here that Ma gruder's Confederate 'Red'and 'White' redoubts stood in 1802. Cornwallis hail redoubts on the same sites, but their guns pointed in nearly the oppo direction. The works around the town wore protected on the right by a deep ravine, and on the left by the head of Wormeley Creek, which set in from the river below. At tbe mouth of the ravine on the right, und across it, a strong work was thrown up, and gar risoned by a portion of the Royal Welsh Fusl leers. The officer second in command was Captain Thomas Saumauroz, who lived long enough to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general in the British army on the day of Queen Victoria's coronation. Two other young captains—Charles Asgill, of the Guards, and Samuel Graham, of the Seventy-sixth—also rose to the same grade, The British position was defended by seventy-seven pieces of ar tillery and seven thousand livo hun dred men. General O'llara happened to IMI tho only general officer present, after Cornwallis, and important com mands necessarily fell to Bold and line officers Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas was intrusted with the right of the works, und Liouteuaut-Colonel A tier crombie with the left. On the morning of September 28, Washington and the allied army moved forward from Williamsburg for the investment of Yorktown—a march of eleven miles. That night they encamp ed vitbin a mile and a half of the ene my's position. On the 29th they ap proached still nearer, and some skirm ishing followed. On tbe same day Cornwallis received dispatches from Clinton which decided him to evacuate his outworks at Pigeon Quarter, and retiro within the lines immediately sur rounding the town. This move became tbe subject of criticism. The posses sion of the works in question by the British would have delayed the be siegers, but Cornwallis justified his action by the tenor of his dispatches, which he claimed contained promises from Clinton that relieving forces would sail from New York about the sth of October, and that until their ar rival he could bold out within his in terior position. He claimed, further, that Washiugton, by crossing Worme ly Creek below, would soon turn his ( left, and compel him to fall back. Clin ton, however, seems to have been dis inclined to accept this explanation, and insisted that Cornwallis had represent ed, some weeks before, that the exte rior position had been surveyed, and would be fortified, leaving Clinton to infer that he would hold it as loug as possible. Clinton also explains that his dispatches only held out hopes that a fleet would sail about October 5, re lieving troops not being mentioned. In short, be insinuates that Cornwallis had not done all iu his power to gain time—then the one thing to be gained But whether Coruwallis's reasons were sufficient or not, his move precisely suited tbe Americans and French, who, on the 30th, occupied the abandoned works, and thus found themselves in an unexpectedly favorable position for advancing their siege operations. The French manned two of the redoubts, while the Americans reversed another and built a fourth, which effectually hemmed in the British in the town. The working parties were covered by the American light-infantry, whose loss that day, the 30th, was trifling iu numbers, but serious in the fall of the brave and much-loved Colonel Alexan der Scammell, of New Hampshire. As officer of the day, be advanced with a small party to reconnoitre the deserted works, when ho was suddenly surpris ed by Lieutenant Cameron and some troo|>erß of Tarleton's legion, and mor tally wounded the moment after his surrender. His wounds were dressed in Yorktown. when be was returned on parole to Williamsburg, where he died on the evening of the 6th of October. One of tbe heroes of Saratoga, lately adjutant-general of tho army, a noble and gifted soul, with enviable prospects lieforo him, his fall was hardly less than a public loss. The allied forces now spread out into permanent camps, and prepared for vigorous work. The French ex tended ou the left from tbe river above the town half way around, and the Americans continued tho line along the right to the river below. The camps themselves were some two utiles from the enemy's works, the pickets within half a mile. In rouud numbers there were on both sides ol the river sixteen thousand liesiegers against seven thousand besieged, though in point of effectiveness the tho proportion was more iu favor of the latter. The American wing waa com posed of three divisions of Contiueu tals, two brigades iu each—in all, five thousaud men—and between three and four thousand Virgiuian militia under General Nelson, whose brigadiers were Geuerals Wcedon, Stevens, and Lawson, all good officers. For the division commanders wo have Generals Lin coln, La Fayette, and Steuben. La Fayette's division, which took the right of the entire line, included the select troops of the army known as the corps of light-infantry. General Mublenburg commanded tbe First Brigade, General Hazen tbe Second. Tbe three battalions of tbe First were led by Colonel Vose, of Massachusetts, Lieutenant-Colonel Gimat, aid to La Fayette, and Lieutenan-Colonel Barber, of N'ew Jersey ; those of tho Second by Lieutenant-Colonel Huntington, of Connecticut, Lieutenant-Colonel Alex under Hamilton, of New York, and Lieutenant-Colonel Laurens, of South Carolina, aide to Washington. Bri gaded with those, also, wns lla/.en's old Canadian regiment, some two hundred aud fifty strong. Kxcluding the latter, the light-infantry numbered about fourteen hundred men, nearly all of whom had been detached from tbe New Kngland lines. The Frist Bri gade, which had been with him trough the Virginia campaign, was La Fayette's favorite, and he used to say of it that liner troops could not IMI found the world over. Steuben's division in cluded tbe brigades under Generals Wayne and (41st. In the former were two Pennsylvania mgiinents, com manded by Colonels IMchard Butler and Walter Stewart, and a lately rais ed Virginia Continental regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Gaakins, while two Maryland regiments, under Colonel Adams aud Major Boxburgh, composed Giat's brigade. In Lincoln's division we have the two New York regiments of Van Cortlandt and Van Schaik forming one brigade, under General James Clinton, and Olnov's full Bliodc Island regiment, with Dayton's and Ogdcn's New Jersy bat talions, making up tho remaining bri gade, under Colonel Dayton. On tbe side of the French we find seven regiments, under the names of Bour bonnois,Douxponts, Soissonois, Sain tonge, Ageuois, Touraine, and Gatnois, averaging a thousand men each, anil formed into three brigades, under Baron Vlomeuil, tbe Viscount Vlomenil, and Marquis St. Simon. A fine corpa of artil lery— tbe American detachment lieing under General Knox, Colonel Lamb, Lieutenant-Colonels Stevens and Car rington. aud Major Biiuman—complet ed the force o|s'rating against York town. A point iu the of tho cen tre of the entire lino, half a mile north woat of Wynne'a Mill, and two and a half miles bark from the Yorktown works, was the spot where Washing i ton established his head-quarters. CONFESSION. Guiteau's Movements as Discovered by the Attorney General. WASHINGTON, July 14.—United Stales District Attorney Corkhill furnishes the following for publication: 'The interest felt by the public iu the details of the assassination, and the many stories published, justify me in stating that the following is a cor rect and accurate statement concerning the points to which reference is made: The assassin, Charles Uuiteau, came to Washington City on Sunday eve ning, March 6, 1881, and stopped at the Ebbitt House, remaining only one day. He then secured a room in another part of the city and has board ed and roomed at various places, the full details of which I have. Wednes day, May 18, 1881, the assassin DETERMINED TO MURDER THE PRESIDENT. lie had neither money nor pistol at that time. About the last of May he went into O'Meora's store, on the cor ner of Fifteenth and I streets, this city, and examined some pistols, asking for the largest calibre. He was shown two, similar in calibre and only differ ent in price. On Wednesday, June 8, he purchased the pistol which he used, for which he paid $lO, bo having in the meantime borrowed sls of a gentle man in this city on the plea that he wanted to pay bis board bill. On the same evening, about 7 o'clock, he took the pistol and went to the foot of Seventeenth street aud practiced liring at a board, firing 10 shots. He then re turned to his boarding place aud wiped the pistol dry and wrapped it in his coat aud waited his opportunity. On Sunday morning, Juno 12, he was sitting in Lafayette Park, and saw the President leave for the Chris tian church, on Vermont avenue, and he at once returned to his room, obtain ed his'pistnl and put it in his hip pock et, and followed the President to church. He eutered the church, but found he could not kill him there with out tho danger of killing some one else. He noticed that the President sat near a window. After church he made an examination of the window, and found he could reach it without any trouble, and that from this point be could shoot the President through the head without killing any one else. The following Wednesday be went to the church and examined the loca tion and window, and became satisfied that he could accomplish his purpose, and he determined, therefore, to make the attempt at church on the following Sunday. He learned from the papers that the President would leave the city on Saturday, tho 18th of June, yvith Mrs. Qarfielil, for Long Brauch ; be therefore determined to meet him at tho depot. He left bit boarding place about 5 o'clock on Saturday morning, June 18, and went down to the river at the foot of Seventeenth street, and fired five shots, to practice his aim, and Ije certain his pistol was in good order. He then went to the depot and was in the ladies waiting room of the depot with his pistol ready when tho Presi dental party entered. He saw Mrs. Garfield looked so weak and frail he had not the heart to shoot the President in her presence, and as he kucw he would bavo another opportunity be left the depot. He bad previously engaged a carriage to take liim to jail. On Wednesday evening the Presi dent and his son, and I think United States Marshall Henry, wont out for a ride. Tho assassin took his pistol and followed them, aud watched them for some time in hopes tho carriage would stop, but no opportunity was given. On Friday evening, July 1, he was sitting on a seat in tho Park, opposite the White House, when he saw the President come out alone. He follow ed him down the ayenuo to Fifteenth street, ami then kept on tho opposite side of the street, un Ffteenth, until the President entered tho residence of Secretary Blaine. He waited at the corner of Mr. Morton's late residence, corner of Fifteenth and H streets, for some time and then, as ho was afraid he would attract attention, he went in to an alley in the rear of Mr. Morton's residence. There he examined his pistol and waited. The President and Secretary Blaine came out together and he followed them over to a gate of the White House, but could get no op portunity to use his weapon. On the morning of Saturday, July 2, he break fasted at tho Biggs House about seven o'clock, lie then walked up in to the park and sat there for an hour. He then took a one horse avouuo car and rode to Sixth street, he got out and went into the depot and loitered around there; had his shoes blacked and engaged a hackman for two dollars to take him to jail, lie then went into the water closet and took his pistol out of his hip pocket and unwrap|ied the paper from around it which he had put there fur the purpose of preventing the perspiration from his body dampening the powder, lie examined his pistol carefully, tried the trigger, and then re turned and took a seat iu the ladica' waiting room, and as soon as the Pros!- dent entered he advanced from behind him und fired two shots. These facts I think can lie relied upon as accurate, aud I give them to the public to contradict false rumors in connection with this most atrocious of atrocious crimes.' [(itfu'o Fall*, (N. V.)
