attack that fortress, they found the people of the "grants" with their minds already prepared for the undertaking, and under the leadership of Col. Ethan Allen, already on their way toward the lake.
The details of the early surprise by Allen, who with drawn sword made the demand to surrender the fort, "In the name of the Great Jehovah and of the Continental Congress," and how, overawed, Delaplace gave up the garrison without a struggle, on the roth of May, 1775, and the subsequent importance of this bloodless conquest of the Green Mountain Boys to the revolutionary cause, are matters of general history, and not necessary to relate here.
On Wednesday, the 24th of July, 1776, the first meeting of the committee was held, which eventually declared Vermont, or New Hampshire Grants, a free State. It was held at the house of Cephas Kent, in Dorset, Bennington County, with Capt. Joseph Bowker of Rutland, as chairman.
On the 2d day of July, 1777, this committee met for the declared purpose of forming a constitution of government, but other objects were found to re- quire its serious attention. Col. Warner wrote from Rutland, on the 2d of July, "To the honorable, the convention now sitting at Windsor, in the State of Vermont," that an army of ten thousand veterans, one-half of them Ger- man hirelings, equipped and furnished with every warlike material that wealth and skill could supply, had been collected in the province of Canada and attended by a formidable body of savages and a corps of tories, was approach- ing the post of Ticonderoga. Gen. St. Clair, who commanded at Ticonde- roga, had sent Col. Warner to gather reënforcements from the militia, and he had just received an express that an attack was expected every hour. The letter requested the convention "to send on all the men that could possibly be raised," saying that the safety of the post depended on the exertions of the country.
By the 5th of July, Col. Warner had reached Ticonderoga with nine hun- dred militia, but the fort, even after this re-enforcement, was altogether un- tenable against the strong and well appointed army of Burgoyne. On the evening of that day a council of war unanimously decided that it should be abandoned before daylight the next morning, which was accordingly done.
All the cannon and most of the provisions and military stores fell into the hands of the enemy, and the army retreated rapidly toward Castleton. On this retreat occurred the first and only battle fought in Vermont during the Revolution.
THE BATTLE OF HUBBARDTON.
About two o'clock in the morning of the 6th of July, Gen. St. Clair, with the garrison, left Ticonderoga and proceeded toward Hubbardton and Castle- ton. The affairs were conducted with secrecy and silence, and unobserved by the enemy, till a French officer, imprudently and contrary to orders, set fire- to his house. The flames immediately revealed to the enemy the movements and designs of the Americans, and at the same time impressed the Americans
59

with such an idea of discovery and danger, as to throw them into the utmost disorder and confusion.
About four o'clock the rear guard of the American army left Mount Inde- pendence, and were brought off by Col. Francis in good order ; and the regi- ments which had preceded him were soon recovered from their confusion. When the troops had arrived at Hubbardton, they were halted for nearly two hours. Here the rear guard was put under the command of Col. Seth War- ner, with orders to follow the army as soon as those who had been left behind came up, and to halt about a mile and a half in the rear of the main body. St. Clair then proceeded to Castleton, about six miles further, leaving War- ner, with the rear guard and stragglers, at Hubbardton.
The retreat of the Americans from Ticonderoga was no sooner perceived by the British than an eager pursuit was begun under Gen. Fraser and Gen. Reidesel. Fraser continued the pursuit during the day, and having learned that the rear of the American army was not far off, ordered his men to lie that night upon their arms. Early on the morning of the 7th, he renewed the pursuit, and about 7 o'clock, commenced an attack upon the Americans un- der Warner.
Warner's force consisted of his own regiment and the regiments of Cols. Francis and Hale. Hale, fearful of the result, retired with his regiment, leaving Warner and Francis, with only seven or eight hundred men, to dispute the progress of the enemy.
The belligerents drew up their forces in line of battle, but did not come to a general engagement, (as each awaited the arrival of reinforcements,) until Warner made a fierce onslaught, throwing the enemy into deep confusion, who, rallying again, advanced upon the Americans, but were brought to a stand. The action had now become general, and Francis was killed at the head of his regiment, which was then driven to the woods at the point of the bayonet. At this critical juncture Reidesel's reinforcements arrived. The Americans, supposing the whole German force was at hand, were seized with a panic, and gave way ; when Warner's regiment, which had fought with in- vincible courage, began to break. The sturdy and intrepid Colonel, throw- ing himself down on a log, poured forth a torrent of curses and execrations on the flying troops ; but when perceiving the day was lost, he sprang to his feet, and in the coolest possible manner, ordered the troops to assemble at Manchester, which those who heard him obeyed to the number of about 200; the others joining the remains of Francis' regiment, repaired to the main army at Fort Edward.
The English loss in this battle, as stated by their official returns, in killed and wounded was 183, including among the former 20 officers. The Ameri- can loss is estimated at about 324 killed, wounded and prisoners.
This battle was undoubtedly lost by the indiscretion of St. Clair, who hav- ing left his rear guard at such a distance from his advance, that support was impossible. It was also very disastrous, not only on account of the loss of

men, but in their retreat from Ticonderoga they left in the hands of the Eng- lish their cannon, amounting to 128 pieces, their shipping and batteaux, and their provisions, stores and magazines. By this event Burgoyne obtained no less than 1,748 barrels of flour, and more than 70 tons of salt provisions; and, in addition to these, a large drove of cattle, which had arrived in the Ameri- can camp a few days previous to their retreat.
For 82 years the spot where this battle was fought,-and fought bravely though suffering defeat,-had lain unmarked, neglected and almost forgotten, until, on the 7th of July, 1859, an appropriate monument of marble was erected near the spot where Francis was killed. It is a plain marble shaft, bearing, on one side, the following inscription :-
" By the citizens of Hubbardton and vicinity, To the memory of those men who here laid down their lives in the defence of their country's rights and lib- erties."
The battle-field is situated in one of those beautiful and picturesque spots so often met with among the hills and valleys of Vermont, and it is difficult for one to gaze on the pure, white shaft, and realize that it marks the scene of a bloody conflict, or that it was from this spot that the brave spirit of Francis winged its flight to that happier land where it shall engage in war no more.
WAR OF 1812.
In 1812, after thirty years of peace and prosperity, the people were again called upon to confront England. The part Rutland County took in the pro- ceedings did her citizens no discredit. Some of the old heroes are still resid- ing within its limits. The preparation for the battle of Plattsburg, N. Y., etc., and, indeed, all the events of the war, are matters of general history and too well known to require mention here. From the close of this war, in 1815, a period of about thirty years' peace was again enjoyed by the people, when the war with Mexico aroused them from their quiet avocations.
THE MEXICAN WAR.
The necessity of this war was not generally concurred in by the citizens, and consequently did not arouse any great degree of sympathy or enthusiasm.
Soon after the first battle was fought,-Palo Alto, on May 8, 1846, in which the Americans were so victorious,-the martial spirit of the Green Mountain boys was revived, and the recruiting of a regiment was commenced in the State. Of the recruits from Rutland County we have only a straggling record. Most certain it is, however, that the town of Danby contributed sixteen of her noble sons, most of whom sustained well the reputation of their town and county. Of the following list, none, we believe, are now residents of the town :- Damon Ballard, Elisha Bradley, Hiram Harrington, Samuel Hall, Daniel Hilliard, Chauncey Maxham, Jamon Preston, Caleb Roberts, Oliver Sheldon, C. Smith, Wesson Soule, Henry Tufts, Stephen Woods, Willard

Woods, L. Smith, and Hiram Wait. Pawlet, too, contributed two of her sons, James Preston and Return Strong, and Rutland one, at least, in the person of Lieut. Hopkins, who, on the 29th of April, 1847, was publicly presented with a sword, by his friends, previous to his departure. Soon after the battle of Mexico, preliminaries of peace were signed at Guadalupe-Hidalgo, Feb- ruary 2, 1848, annexing a large amount of rich territory to the Union, which is now developed into popular states and prosperous cities, which Rutland County can look upon and say,-"I did my share in acquiring this !"
THE WAR OF THE UNION.
Peace again brooded over the land for a period of about thirteen years, smiling upon a prosperous, happy people ; but was rudely frightened away on the morning of April 12th, 1861, when the report of the shot upon Sumter was sent reverberating through the land, echoing from summit to summit of the Green Mountains, and rolling through their verdant valleys, awaking her sons from their dreams of peace, filling their souls with but one thought,- the flag that had been bought with the blood of their fathers had been outraged -and impelling them, as with one impulse, to rush to its rescue.
Side by side with her sister states, Vermont endured the weary marches and bore the brunt of battles, and side by side their sons sleep the "long sleep," some 'neath the burning sands of the willful South, others sepulchered in the coral caves of the sobbing sea, a tomb to which the grandest, most imposing sepulchre that man can build were but a sorry hut. Others have been borne to the grave amid their kindred by sympathizing friends, who, year by year in solemn procession, to muffled drum-beat, wend their way to the consecrated places to deck the graves with beautiful spring flowers,-a national tribute to the memory of the gallant dead, 5,128 of whom Vermont sacrificed as her share towards preserving our nation's unity, freed from the curse of slavery, so long a foul blot upon her fair fame. And though thousands of parents, wives, brothers and sisters still mourn the loss of those they loved, they still have to comfort them, a prominent share in the glory of their native State, even though purchased at so fearful a price. Ver- mont promptly filled every quota, and every dollar needed was furnished with alacrity. Of her treasure $9,087,352.40 were expended in furnishing the 34,238 loyal sons and representatives who went out to fight the battles of their country, 5,022 of whom were discharged from the service with shattered constitutions, or maimed in body, to renew the peaceful avocations of life as circumstances would permit, and it is but lately that these stricken defenders have, by increase of bounties and pensions, received proper acknowledgement by a grateful nation, for their heroic deeds and sacrifices.
The following complete Roster of men who went from Rutland County as commissioned officers, and of those, who enlisting in the ranks were subse- quently promoted to a commission, is compiled from the Adjutant and In- spector-General's report of 1866, and from other sources. For convenience
