and In an instant all was uproar and confu-


sion in the astonshed fertilization. Nota
moment was to- be lost ~ Hg


"Advance! advance I" shouted Wayne,
as he passed rapidly on towards the abattis,
followed in death like silence by his indom-


table troops


"To arms" came borne on the night
breeze from the fort-ssto arms-to arms,n
and then followed the quick roll of the
drum. In an instant the enemy were at
their posts, and as the gallant continentals
still maintained their silent but steady
march, fire such as only desperation could
produce, burst from every embrasure of
the fort. The incessantrattle of she mus
kerry, the roar of the artillery, the crashing
OF grape shot and the lurid light flung over
the scene by the explosion Of the shells
and the stream Of fire pouring from the
fort, formed picture which no pen can de-
scribe. Yet amid il all, the daring assail-
ants steadily advanced, though not trg-
ger had been pulled in their ranks. Faith
full to the command Of their general, though
trembling in every limb with eagerness they
kept up their silent march, amid the fiery
tempest, as if impelled by some god-liks
power. On-on-on-they passed


The whirlwind of fire from the fort cea-
sed not; yet still they dashed on charging
at the point of the bayonet, over BATHS
and bulwark, until the enemy surprised by
their lmpetuous onset, quailed before them
The works were forced. Then, and not
till then, was the deathlike silence broken.
A soundrung out from the victorious troops
over all the battle. 1t was the watchword
OF success. 1t was heard by the head of
the column behind; it was passed down
their line, was caught by the rear, and
wild shout, making the very welkin trem-
ole, rung out as they dashed to the attack.


The contest was short but terrific. Over
bulwalk, battery, and PROSTATE foes, the
gallant continentials, headed by WAYNE
passed on, and driving all before them, met
the column Of their little army, with an en-
thusiatic cheer, in the very centre Of the
enemy's works. In another moment, the
starry flag of America waved triumphantly
over the battlements.


The enthusiasm of the victors cannot be
described. Bat though the contest had
been SO bloody, not man of the enemy
fell, after resistance ceased The prisoners
were disarmed, guard placed over them,
and sentries posted on all the commanding
positions around the works. The morning
gun announced to the British feet in the
river, that Stony Point ,oos yon won. .s
