the battle, would he have listened to advice,
FIRST given, Qr the landing of the troops at
Alexandra, and repeated, though without
effect, up to the morning of the fatal 9th OF
July. 1t is said that the Colonel advised the
leaving, at least. one half of the regulars at
the place OF debarcation, and enlisting in
their stead a like number of woodsmen; but
nothing could convince the Inflated General
that European tactics would avail nothing in
warfare Of the wilderness.


Gen. Braddock died the day succeeding
the battle, and was buried in the wagon road,
the grave levelled, and the wagons purpose
ly driven over it, that it might be conceal
ed from the Indians whose trophies OF victo-
ry would have been greatly enriched, by
the addition of a Generals scalp.


a circumstance of some moment, to the
medical world, occurred on the retreat OF the
English forces from the Monongahela. The
, hospital stores having been lost, the sur
geons dressed the wounded men with APP
plications made from grass, weeds, and
herbs. bruised, and formed into poultices;
and the wounds did remarkably we'll. May
not this hint be useful to those engaged in
frontier wars, or distant expeditions to say
age countriese We know that the, Indians

that they have no apothecaries' hall, and

The character of Braddock may be sum-

out the better part, discretion, and pershed
in vainly attempting to wage the warfare OF
the European plains, in the wilds of the new
world.


He was the son Of the old Gen. Braddock,
distinguished officer, in the early part OF
the last century. His sister, celebrated for
her beauty, her wealth, and misfortunes,
came to an untimely end.-She possessed a
fortune Of 5000 a yearAwas fond of intrigue,
though certainly never criminal, aud having
dissipated her fortune at the gaming table,
became reduced to want she put period to
her existence, by hanging herselfi in an en-
broided girdle.


"Her youth, her beauty and misfortunes
rendered her the object of universal pity; and
the fate of her brother will be the less re-
GREETED, when it is known that he was SC
destitute of humanity, as when he heard o


his sisters death, to express himself by
pun, saying, that she had tied herself ~
from tlay."
