Col. llarrelt Travers, takiti' udvar

his little army of patriots in single file,
and delivered lo them one oi the most
alirrin und portentous uddrews uf hif

"Our fate is waled. Within u few
days perhaps a few hours we shall be
in eternity. Our business is
not lo make fruitless ifLrls to have our
lives, but to choose the uianucr of oui
death. Lot us resolvn tn
withstand our enemies to the lust, and at
each advance to kill as many ul theui a
possible. Kill thcni as they scale our

Kill them as they raNc their weapons

"liut I leave every man to his choice.
Should any man prelVr to surrender or

''I now want every man who in d -termincd

With one exception this or ll was im
