Next came the invasion of Burgoyne, the evacuation of Ticonderoga. in 1777, followed by the subsequent battles of Hubbardton and Bennington, and the final surrender of Cornwallis, at Yorktown, October 19, 1781, virtually ending the war. The settlers who had been driven off began to return, and the trader's sloop soon was passing up and down the lake, intent upon their peaceful avocations, over the very course taken by Arnold when pursued by the British at the memorable battle of Lake Champlain.

WAR OF 1812.
The yoke of the mother country having been thrown off, the American colonies rapidly advanced in progress. Vermont expanded into a free and independent State, and finally was annexed to the Union, March 4, 1791. In the meantime, the French nation, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, had arrived at the zenith of military glory, and was giving England great cause for fear and trembling. England, in turn, seeming to forget that her offspring had ar- rived at maturity and was quite able to protect its own institutions, continued her acts of tyranny. Looking upon herself as mistress of the ocean, during her wars with Napoleon, she utterly disregarded the rights of the United States as a neutral nation. Her cruisers would stop and search American vessels, and seize such able-bodied seamen as were needed, on the pretext that they were British subjects. An American frigate, not in condition to resist. having been subjected to this indignity almost within sight of an American port, after receiving several broadsides for denying the right of search, the Presi- dent issued a proclamation ordering all British ships-of-war to quit the waters of the United States. Congress also laid an embargo on American vessels. detaining them at home, but afterward substituted a non-intercourse act, prohibiting trade with Great Britain. All intercourse between this State and the people of Canada was prohibited, without a permit from the Governor. under a penalty of $1,000 fine and imprisonment at hard labor in the State penitentiary for the term of seven years.
Notwithstanding all this, England persisted in her offensive course. All hopes of obtaining consessions on the impressment question from her were at length abandoned. George III., who was still on the throne, had become insane, and the men who managed affairs were as short-sighted as his ad- visers had been forty years before, whose folly had provoked the Revolution. Longer submission to their arrogant claims was deemed unworthy of a free nation, and war was formally declared by the United States, June 18, 1812.
The majority of the people of Vermont considered the declaration of war rash and imprudent, believing that the required issue could have been brought about by legislation ; but notwithstanding this feeling, the general assembly of the State passed the following resolution :-
"The constituted authorities of our country having declared war between the United States and Great Britain and her dependencies, it is our duty as citizens to support the measure ; otherwise we should identify ourselves with the enemy, with no other difference than that of locality. We therefore pledge ourselves to each other and to our government, that with our individ- ual exertions, our example and influence, we will support our government and country in the present contest, and rely on the great Arbiter of events for a favorable result."
After the close of the Revolution, both Gov. Chittenden and Ethan Allen located in Chittenden County, facts sufficient in themselves to render the

locality one of importance, not to mention its fertile soil, and elegant harbor afforded at Burlington Bay. War being declared, then, Burlington was at once established as the seat of operations in Vermont. Troops were stationed here under the command of Gen. Macomb, and Gen. Wade Hampton, con- sisting of 4,000 men. Soon after, Col. Clark went from here with 102 men and attacked a British force at St. Armand, killed nine, wounded fourteen, and took 101 prisoners, and brought them to Burlington. During the same year, the public stores at Plattsburgh were removed to Burlington, and a bat- tery planted on a commanding position, now known as Battery Park, as the enemy threatened Plattsburgh. Their fleet came up the lake and fired a few shots, but soon retired when the cannon from the shore commenced playing upon them.
In the summer of 1814, the British, having concentrated 14,000 men near the foot of Lake Champlain, undertook an invasion of the States, somewhat on the plan of Burgoyne in 1777. There had been skirmishing throughout the season ; but when in August most of the American troops were transferred to the Niagara frontier, Gen. Prevost improved the opportunity to march upon Plattsburgh. Here Gen. Macomb, in command of the Americans, had made all the preparation in his power for a vigorous defence ; but he had only 2,000 efficient men, and lacked ordnance, while his works were still incom- plete. Commodore McDonough had also strained every nerve to make ready for the British fleet, which was to act in conjunction with the army. His flagship was launched within forty days from the time that the trees used in its construction were standing in the forest. Despite all his exertions, how- ever, in the number of his vessels, guns, and men, he was inferior to the enemy.
The British army, having reached Plattsburgh, was there held in check by Macomb, who, strengthened by the brave militia of Vermont and New York, had taken a position on the south side of the Saranac River. But the fate of the battle was to be decided on the water. On the 11th of September, the Brit- ish flotilla drew near to Plattsburgh, and McDonough joined battle, after having on the deck of his vessel invoked the blessing of God upon his cause. Two hours of terrible fighting resulted in victory for the Americans as signal as had been that of Perry's on Lake Erie. The British commander, who had boasted that with his flag-ship alone he could whip the whole Yankee fleet, was killed, and his entire squadron struck. Thus ended the Battle of Platts- burgh Bay, one of the great naval engagements of the world.
The British commissioners, at first unreasonable, lowered their tone after the battle of Plattsburgh and the subsequent battle of Baltimore, and on the 24th of December, 1815, a treaty of peace was signed at Ghent, in Belgium, ending the war. Once more the Green Mountain Boys settled down to the peaceful avocations of life, to be aroused again not until many years after, when the terrible civil struggle of 1861, called them again into the field. Some of the old veterans still are living in the county, though few, a remnant of the

gallant ones who gave England her final lesson in Yankee pluck. Of these, the following names occur to us : John B. Hollenbeck, of Burlington; Joseph Weed, of Essex, who now resides with his son, E. B. Weed, at the age of eighty-seven years ; and the venerable John Nash, of Shelburne. During the winter of 1812, McDonough's fleet was anchored in Smith's Bay, Shelburne, and he and his staff boarded with Levi Comstock.
THE MEXICAN WAR.
Texas, analogous to Vermont, had declared herself a free and independent State, and by petition of the people was annexed to the United States. Out of this annexation grew the war with Mexico. The old southwestern boundary of Texas had been the Neuces River, but the Texans had claimed to the Rio Grande ; and when the United States authorities offered to adjust the bound- ary by negotiation, Mexico rejected the proposal with contempt. The United States government, therefore, directed General Zachary Taylor, "Old Rough and Ready," to occupy the disputed territory. This he did with a small force, taking post at the mouth of the Rio Grande-a movement which Mexico accepted as a declaration of war.
The necessity of this war was not, as is well known, generally concurred in by the people of Vermont, and consequently did not arouse any great degree of sympathy or enthusiasm. But soon after the first battle was fought,-Palo Alto, May 8, 1846, in which the Americans were so victorious,-the martial spirit of the Green Mountain Boys was aroused from its apathy, and the recruiting of a regiment was soon after commenced. A list of the loyal sons of Chittenden County who took part in this difficulty, we are sorry to say, we cannot furnish ; but from the fragments of their record we have been able to glean, we learn that, though small in number, they sustained well the reputation of their county, and did their full share towards annexing to the United States the rich territory of California and New Mexico, of which Cali- fornia alone yielded, during a period of twenty years, $900,000,000.00 worth of gold. Soon after the battle of Mexico, a treaty was agreed on at Guada- lupe Hidalgo, and on July 4, 1848, peace was proclaimed.
THE WAR OF THE UNION.
This period of peace lasted thirteen years-years of great improvement in the condition of Chittenden County, a counterpart of the prosperity enjoyed by the whole State. Indeed, the war with Mexico had scarcely disturbed the even tenor of her way, as so few of her sons were engaged in the strife, and the active scenes of which were so far removed. Except for display at celebrations, or as curiosities, the old sword and musket were unseen. The "Green Mountain Boys" had passed away to join the spirits of their brave commanders, while their names were perpetuated alike in the annals of history and romance. Their children and grandchildren were enjoying

the bounties of the verdant fields they had struggled so hard to win ; but amid all the enervations of peace and plenty, the spirit and blood of such men as Allen, Baker. Stark, and Warner, yet coursed in their veins, ready to reveal its latent power, like the trained battle-horse, at the first clash of arms.
The morning of April 12th, 1861, dawned bright and fair, yet dense with weight of woe that overspread the land. The fatal shot upon Sumpter had been fired, and for the first time in its young life, since first unfurled to the breeze o'er the decks of the "Ranger," proudly bearing its "emblem of per- petuity,"-the wreath of thirteen stars, -the flag of the Union had been desecrated.
The causes leading to this terrible civil war we need not repeat ; the re- sults are patent to every household in the broad land. To some, however, the word " results " has a peculiar significance. It recalls to the memory of the wife, the husband's face so kind and true ; to the son and daughter, the loved lineaments of their sire ; and to the parent, the noble form of their bright and promising son, all of whom now are resting in the quiet church- yard, or, mayhap, whose bones are bleaching in the sand that drained their blood at the fearful carnage of Gettysburgh, Antietam, Fredericksburgh, or other fields where perished so many of our noble dead. But, ye wives, parents, brothers and sisters, the nation's honored dead o'er whose graves you weep, have left you a valuable legacy, a bequest in which none but you can share- the glory that surrounds their names !
Vermont's sons soon proved their "lineal descent from warlike men," and " The Green Mountain Boys " became again an honored title of the present, adding lustre to the fame which already clustered about it. Of this band, 34,238 were sent to fight the battles of their country, and $9,087,352.40 of Vermont's treasure were expended in the cause. But her greatest treasure was the 5,128 noble souls she sacrificed upon the altar of freedom, while 5,022 loyal ones were returned to their homes with shattered constitutions, or maimed in body. Surely, a bountiful contribution towards the preserva- tion of our "Grand Republic."
Chittenden County furnished its full quota of both men and means. The first call was for one company, which in ten days' time was furnished and on its way, with others, towards the scene of strife. The streets of Burlington again "echoed the tread of armed men," and the monument marking the last resting place of Ethan Allen looked down upon the soldier's tent and marshalled host. During the war, the old fair ground. between North Avenue, North Bend, East Pitkin and North streets, now the property of Mr. Lemuel S. Drew, was used as a camp-ground, called Camp Fairbanks, and the following regiments and companies were quartered here at different times : 2d Vermont Infantry, Colonel Henry Whiting; Ist Vermont Cav- alry, Colonel L. B. Platt ; 17th Vermont Infantry, Colonel F. V. Randall ; 3d Vermont Light Battery, Captain Romeo H. Start, and two companies of Frontier Cavalry.
