A 
 
 SHORT SKETCH 
 
 OF THE 
 
 ■OPERATIONS ON THE DELAWARE^ 
 
 DURING THE LATE WAR. 
 
 THE differences which had so long subsisted between tlic 
 United States and Great Britain, and which had led to the va- 
 rious measures of the restrictive system finally resulted in war, 
 which was declared by Congress on the 1 8th day of June, 1812. 
 The building and fitting out of some gun-boats and privateers 
 in the port of Philadelphia, the repairing of the ordnance at 
 Fort Miiflin, and some measures preparatory to placing that 
 fortification in a state of defence, constituted almost the whole 
 of the military operations which took place on the Delaware 
 during that year. 
 
 So early as the month of March of 1813, the blockade of 
 the Delaware, which had been constantly anticipated from the 
 period at which hostilities were proclaimed, was commenced 
 by Commodore Sir John P. Berresford, with the Poictiers 
 seventy-four, the frigate Belvidere Capt. Byron, and an occa- 
 sional reinforcement of other vessels, and was prosecuted with 
 such rigour as to cut off the chief part of the foreign commerce 
 of Philadelphia. In the course of that month, the enemy 
 were several times repulsed by the militia of Delaware, in at- 
 tempts to capture small vessels close in with the shore, and 
 some instances occurred of sharp firing between the contend- 
 ing parties. 
 
 On the 16th of March a communication was made to the in- 
 i habitants of Lewistown, a small town situate near Cape Hen- 
 
open, and in sight of the cruizing ground of the British, by- 
 Commodore Berresford, in which he made a demand upon 
 hem for " twenty live bullocks, with a proportionate quantity 
 of vegetables and hay,** promising payment at the Philadel- 
 phia prices, but threatening in case of non-compliance, to 
 festroy their town. This civil epistle was addressed " to the 
 irst magistrate of Lewistown,** and as might have been anti- 
 cipated, was received by the people with hearty indignation. 
 V positive refusal was returned, and the enemy were given to 
 inderstand that they could expect nothing but what they could 
 'btain by force. 
 
 The intelligence of this menace, with the probability of its 
 being put into execution, soon spread along the shores of the 
 Delaware, and aroused the dormant feelings of those who fan- 
 icd that the destroying power of the enemy would chiefly be 
 'xercised on the ocean. At Lewistown a considerable body of 
 militia immediately assembled, and at Dover, Smyrna, New- 
 Castle and Wilmington, measures for assisting to repel the in- 
 vadei-s were promptly entered upon. Volunteer corps were 
 brmed, and batteries to protect the two latter towns were soon 
 onstructed. The specie of the banks of New-Castle and 
 Wilmington was removed for safety to Philadelphia, and every 
 arrangement was made for an expected invasion. Two volun- 
 cer companies at Philadelphia, viz. the Independent Blues, 
 Captain Mitchell, and the Junior Artillerists, a company of 
 spirited and respectable young men associated for the purpose 
 in three days notice^ under the command of Capt. Jacob H. 
 ¥isler, volunteered to garrison Fort Mifflin, and were accept- 
 ed for that service on the 22d of March. * 
 
 * Oil the discharge of these two companies from their duty at tlie 
 i'''jjt, the following complimentary order was issued. 
 
 Head Quarters, 4th Mllitarv District,

 GENERAL ORDERS. 
 General Bloomfield cannot permit C-^pt. Mitchell and Fislci-*s com- 
 panies of the militia of Philadelphin to leave Port MilBin, witljout ex- 
 pressing his satisfaction and thanks forthrir promptness and alacrity, in 
 the tender of their services to the United States, to garrison fort Mifflin, 
 on the fir?l intimation of the present emergency ; and liis entire approba 
 
On the 23d of March, the Governor of Delaware having, 
 arrived at Lewistown, communicated to Commodore Beres 
 ford an official reply to his letter of the 16th., urging the entire 
 impossibility of his requisition being complied with, and on the 
 same day received for answer, that as the demand was neither 
 ungenerous nor wanting in magnanimity, the Commodore felt, 
 it incumbent on him to persist in his determination, and, said 
 he, "whatever sufferings may fall upon the inhabitants of 
 Lewis, must be attributed to yourselves, by not complying 
 with a request so easily acquiesced in." Notwithstanding the 
 repetition of the threat, nothing was done until the 6th of 
 April. On the evening of that day, the Belvidera, with several 
 small vessels, came close in to Lewistown, and commenced 
 an attack by firing several thirty-two pound shot into the town, 
 after which a flag was sent on shore with a renewal of the 
 enemy's demand, accompanied by an additional one, for a 
 supply of water. To this message, Colonel Samuel B. Davis, 
 who commanded the troops, returned for answer that, neither 
 could be comfilied nvith. Capt. Byron in reply, expressed his 
 regret at the distress which would be brought upon the wo- 
 men and children of the village, by the pertinacious refusal 
 of their friends to comply with the demand of Sir John, and 
 earnestly desired that they might be instantly removed. Colo- 
 nel Davis very politely returned him for answer that " he had 
 already taken care of the ladies."^ The firing soon after com- 
 menced, and a regular bombardment was kept up for twenty- 
 two hours, during which time it was calculated that near one 
 thousand shot of eighteen and thirty -two pounds, were fired 
 
 tlon of Iheip zeal, activity and patience at Fort Mifflin, in the discharge 
 of the duty of citizen soldiers. Their patriotic example will be emulated 
 by the niimerous companies of militia who have offered to repair to the 
 standard of their country. 
 
 Much credit is due to captains Karker and Williams of the 2d Regi- 
 ment U. S. Artillery, for their unwearied diligence in the exercise and 
 improvement of the militia in garrison duty.

* I he place, besides shells and congreve rockets. Many 
 houses were damaged, but no lives were lost. At the com- 
 mencement of the bombardment, our troops were in want 
 jf ammunition, but soon receiving a supply of fioivder from 
 heir friends and of balls from the enemy, which fitted the 
 alibre of their pieces exactly, they were able to maintain a 
 irctty vigorous fire. On the afternoon of the 7th, preparations 
 vcre made by the enemy to land, and several small vessels 
 \i]l of men approached the shore, where a gallant band was 
 ;)repared to meet them, but they were called back by a signal 
 Vom the squadron. Thus ended an affair which reflected as 
 ifuich dishonour upon the British arms, as it did credit upon 
 the inhabitants of Lewistown and its vicinity, who were pre- 
 pared to make every sacrifice rather than to submit to the 
 odious act of aiding and abetting their country's foes. 
 
 The attack on Lewistown was but a specimen of the ma- 
 rauding course which was in store for the inhabitants of our 
 defenceless villages. Whilst these scenes were acting on the 
 Delaware, Admiral George Cockburn, whose unprincipled 
 system of plunder will be ever held in execration by those who 
 i espect the laws of honourable warfare, commanded the British 
 forces in the v/aters of the Chesapeake. Having ascended the 
 bay, he on the 29th of April made an attack upon Frenchtown, a 
 -mall place consisting oHnot more than six or eight houses and 
 stores, the latter of which containing merchandize to the value 
 of many thousands of dollars, belonging to Philadelphia and 
 Baltimore merchants, were destroyed. On the 3d of May at 
 day light, the town of Havre-de-grace situate on the west side 
 of the Susquehanna, two miles fiom its mcuth, was bombard- 
 ed, and the defenceless inhabitants driven from their beds. 
 The resistance made to the landing of the enemy who had ap- 
 proached in nineteen barges, by the few militia which could 
 he assembled, was slight, and no sooner had they reached the 
 shore, than they became busily occupied in destroying the 
 houses. To use the words of a writer who has very minutely 
 described the scene, " they set fire to tliose which had not been 
 injured by their shells, broke the furniture, and cut open the 
 bcddins; of tbe citbens to au^'7iicv;< tl^o f!?iT><'"=- ^ic^-tvoyed \\v: 
 
public stages, maimed the horses, cut to pieces the private 
 baggage of the passengers, tore the clothing of some of the 
 inhabitants from their backs, and left to others those only which 
 they wore. Women and children flying in every direction to 
 avoid a relentless foe, and to seek protection from their own 
 countrymen, were insulted by the morose seamen and marines; 
 and the only house which yet remained entirely uninjured, was 
 sought by one and all as an assylum."* 
 
 Such conduct on the part of a hostile force which had pene- 
 trated into the heart of the country by the Chesapeake, and 
 which it is said occasionally ascended the Delaware bay so as to 
 be visible from New-Castle, gavethefirstimpulse to thatmilitary 
 spirit amongst our citizens, which at a more advanced stage of 
 Ihe war, became so universal. It had so happened, that almost 
 ever since the disbanding of those respectable corps, known 
 by the name of Macfiherson^a Blues and Sheets Legion^ the 
 former in 1800, and the latter in 181 1, the volunteer system 
 had fallen much into disrepute. A few companies of active 
 and aspiring young men had at different periods been formed, 
 !Dut their duration in general was short, and it was almost in 
 vain to attempt to withstand the popular opinion, which was 
 decidedly averse to military parade. So strong indeed was 
 this feeling, that at the period when war was declared, there 
 were in existence within the city and Liberties of Philadelphia, 
 not more than three or four volunteer companies of infantry, 
 and as many of cavalry, neither of which contained more than 
 half their compliment of effective men. Prejudice however 
 was at length compelled to yield to necessity, and even amongst 
 those whose families and connections were principled against 
 the bearing of arms, there were not wanting a patriotic few, 
 who conceived that the defence of their country was amongst 
 their chief duties. Under the influence of this spirit, the or- 
 ganization of volunteer companies commenced, and prepara- 
 tions were made for opening the first campaign.

 Great Britain," by John Lewis Thomson, For particulars also of the

 Register for May 1813. 
 
"^THE FIRST CAMPAIGN. 
 
 The depredations committed by the British on the Cheasa 
 peake, and their menacing attitude on the Delaware, rendered 
 it absolutely necessary that a force should be embodied to re- 
 pel their aggressions. With this view a detachment of militia 
 was ordered to be drafted for the service of the United States. 
 No sooner was this measure known, than the Philadelphia 
 Blues, and Independent Volunteers, two old and respectable 
 companies, united with the Washington Guards, which had 
 become organized in March and was the Jirst nev) comfiany- 
 ' of iufantrij formed after the commencement of the ivar, 
 in offering their services to the government in lieu of the con- 
 templated militia draft. Their offer Avas accepted, and after 
 having been mustered and inspected, the detachment march- 
 ed from the city for the state of Delaware on tlie afternoon of 
 the 13th of May, under the command of Colonel Lewis Rush. 
 It encamped for the night a short distance below Gray's ferry, 
 where in consequence of a severe rain on the succeeding day. 
 it was detained until near noon of the 15th, on the evening o. 
 which day it arrived and quartered at Chester. On the 16th, 
 it passed through AVilmington, and pitched upon a field abou" 
 a mile below that town, and on the moraing of the 17th readi- 
 ed Staunton a village on the Baltimore road, six miles from 
 Wilmington, about a mile from which a permanent encamp- 
 ment was formed. This spot was selected by General Bloom- 
 field, then commander of the district as an elegible spot for a 
 camp of observation, on account of its proximity to the water?; 
 of the Delaware and Chesapeake. New-Castle on the lefi 
 was but six miles distant, and the Head of Elk where th( 
 British had landed during the war of the Revolution, imme- 
 diately preceding the battle of Brandywine, and where it was 
 thought probable from their movements, they again intended 
 to annoy the country, was but seventeen miles. It was sup- 
 posed that a force of three hundred and fifty men, aided by the 
 volunteers of Delaware would be amply suf!icientto repulse 
 any body of the enemy which would probably be landed on 
 either side, and orders were given to send out occasiona] 
 
parties to collect information, to obtain a knowledge 
 of the surrounding country, and to watch the movements of 
 the foe, should any attempt be made to disembark his troops. 
 These parties under the command of a commissioned offi- 
 cer, extended their reconnoitering excursions as far as Chris- 
 tianna, Newark, New-Castle and even Elkton. 
 
 On Sunday the 29th of May, an express reached Wil- 
 mington, informing that two frigates, one sloop of war and a 
 tender were ascending the Delaware under a press of sail, 
 with affair wind. — The drums beat to arms, and the several 
 volunteer corps assembled at their respective posts. Intelli- 
 gence of the expected attack, with the usual exaggerated re- 
 ports was soon conveyed to the camp, and inspired the troops 
 with a vigour not before exhibited. Even those who were 
 under the surgeon's care, were instantly cured of their 
 infirmities, buckled on their arms and stood in the ranks pre- 
 pared for a march. The whole country was in consternation, 
 and all believed that the enemy was at hand. The Inde- 
 pendent Blues, was ordered down to New-Castle, whilst 
 the other two companies stood by their arms, prepared 
 to proceed towards Christiana, or in any other direction 
 from which the enemy might approach.— All was life 
 and activity, and the ambitious spirits who had long been 
 indulging the hope of distinction on the field of battle, already 
 fancied their anticipations realized. But their hopes were 
 short-lived. The alarm proved to be groundless; some bar- 
 ges had appeared higher up the bay than usual, and in their 
 course had been magnified to a small fleet of ships. The In- 
 dependent Blues remained under arms at New -Castle during 
 the night, and on the following afternoon returned to camp. 
 
 A rumour about this time having obtained currency, that 
 the enemy purposed to ascend the Delaware, and to attempt 
 the destruction of the extensive powder mills on the Brandy- 
 wine, Colonel Rush was ordered to take up a new position 
 with his troops on Shellpot hill, three miles north of Wil- 
 mington, one from the Delaware, and about half way be- 
 tween the latter and the main Philadelphia road. This posi- 
 tion was high and healthy, commanded a complete view of 
 
the river as far down as New-Castle, and covered Hamilton", 
 landing, the only practicable point near the Brandywine, 
 where a debarkation could have been effected. The detach- 
 ment left their ground near Staunton, on the 2d of June, and on 
 the same day reached their new station, where they continued 
 without any active service until the month of July. The 
 daily drills and battallion exercises, with the nightly posting of 
 picket guards at the landing on the river, tended to perfect 
 the men in their discipline and duties, and it would certainly 
 not be going too far to say, that their appearance and know- 
 ledge of military movements, had never before been surpass- 
 ed by the same number of volunteers in the service of the 
 United States. 
 
 The heat of the weather rendering it ineligible to continue an 
 encampment too long upon the same spot, the detachment was 
 marched on, or about the 12th. of July to Oak Hill near Stille's 
 run, about four miles south of Dupont's powder mills, and about 
 the same distance west from Wilmington. Here it continued 
 until the final order for return, which took place after the British 
 had descended the Chesapeake to wage their predatory warfare 
 upon the defenceless towns situated near the mouth of the bay. 
 The camp was broken upon the 26th of July, and the troops 
 reached Chester on that night, and Philadelphia on the after- 
 noon of the succeeding day. In the neighbourhood of the 
 lower ferry, they were met by a number of the volunteer corps 
 of cavalry and infantry, who had prepared for them a grateful 
 repast at the Woodlands, and were escorted into the city, where 
 they were dismissed in front of the State House. 
 
 In calling the attention of our old companions to the scenes 
 of this year, it would be doing injustice to the inhabitants of 
 the State of Delaware in the neighbourhood of whom the 
 several encampments of the detachment were formed, to 
 omit to notice the liberal hospitality displayed by them. No 
 civility or accommodation, calculated to render the situation 
 of the troops agreeable, was withheld, and it was a source of 
 pleasing reflection to the detachment, that those whom they 
 were sent immediately to defend, were every way worthy to be 
 defended. Great credit is also due to the inhabitants of Wil- 
 
11 
 
 mington, New-Castle and their vicinities for their promptness 
 in organizing corps for defence. Two companies of infanliy 
 composed of the workmen at the factories on the Brandy wine, 
 were organized, uniformed and equipped, under the com 
 mand of the two Messrs. Dupont. One troop of Cavalry was 
 also raised in the same neighbourhood, and placed under the 
 command of William Young, esq. An excellent corps of 
 Artillery, commanded by Caesar A. Rodney, esq. was em- 
 bodied at Wilmington, and a fine company of Infantry was 
 raised at New-Castle under the command of Nicholas Van- 
 dyke esq. These corps, with the addition of captain John 
 Warner's troop of horse, captain Wilson's company of Ar- 
 tillery, and captain Leonard's company of Infantry, although 
 not actually in the field, stood prepared at a moment's warning, 
 to unite with the Pennsylvania force, in opposing the opera- 
 tions of the enemy. 
 
 Just about the time of the return of this detachment to the 
 city, an affair took place in the Delaware bay, which reflected 
 great credit upon some of our young naval officers. It is so 
 well described in Mr. Thomson's book, that we shall again 
 take the liberty of using his own words for it. 
 
 "A merchant sloop, having entered the bay on the 22d. of 
 July, on her return from sea was cut off by the Martin sloop 
 of war, which had just re-appeared in the Delaware. The 
 sloop ran aground to avoid capture ; and although she was 
 afterwards attacked by a tender and four barges well manned 
 and armed, a hasty collection of militia with one fisld piece, 
 under lieutenant Townsend, drove off her assailants, and saved 
 the sloop. 
 
 *< A detachment of the gun boat flotilla, being at this tinie 
 but a few miles off, were apprized of the attack made by the 
 sloop of war, and captain Angus immediately proceeded down 
 the bay, with eight gun boats and two block sloops. On the 
 29th, he discovered the Martin, grounded slightly onthe ou ter 
 ridge of Crow's shoals, and determine-.i to attack her in that 
 situation, he anchored his squadron within three quarters of a 
 mile of the enemy, and opened a fire from the whole line. The 
 

 12 
 
 Junon frigate came up to the assistance of the sloop of war, 
 and anchored within half a mile below her. Between both 
 of the enemy's vessels, mounting in all 69 guns, and the gun 
 boat squadron, a cannonade followed, and continued about 
 one hour and forty-five minutes ; in all which time, scarcely 
 a shot struck either of the gun boats, whilst at almost eveiy 
 fire, the latter told upon the hulls of the sloop and frigate. 
 This difference of effect in the firing being discovered by the 
 British, they manned their launches, barges and cutters, ten 
 in number, and despatched them to cut off the boats on the 
 extremity of the line. No. 1 2 1 , a boat commanded by sailing 
 master Shead, which, by some accident, had fallen a very^ 
 great distance out of the line, and was prevented from re- 
 covering its situation by a strong ebb, and the wind dying 
 away, became the object of attack from the enemy's barges. 
 Eight of them, mounting among them three 12 pound carro- 
 nades and carrying one hundred and fifty men, assailed the 
 gun boat at one time. Mr. Shead continued, nevertheless, to 
 sweep her towards the squadron, and to discharge his 24 
 pounder, alternately, at one or the other of the pursuing bar- 
 ges, until they gained so fast upon him, that he resolved to 
 anchor his boat and receive them, as warmly as the disparity 
 of numbers would permit him. He then gave them a dis- 
 charge of his great gun, with much effect, though to the in- 
 jury of the piece, which being fired a second time, and the 
 carriage breaking down, it became necessary to oppose the 
 enemy, who were closing fast, by the boarders. With these, 
 Mr. Shead resisted them, until his deck was covered with 
 men, and the vessel entirely surrounded by the barges. Such 
 was the impetuous fury of the English sailors, that the Ame- 
 ric-:ins were driven below, and the authority of the enemy's 
 officers could scarcely protect them from violence. The flag 
 was struck, and the boat carried off in triumph to the men of 
 war. In this assault, the British lost seven killed and twelve 
 wounded. On board the boat, seven men were wounded, but 
 none killed. The squadron was all this time firing at the 
 enemy's s;.ips; who retired after capturing Mr. Shead ; the 
 
Martin having been extricated from her situation on the 
 shoal. On board the flotilla not a man was injured, and but 
 one of the boats' rigging cut; this was No. 125, commanded 
 by sailing master Moliere. The engagement continued 
 nearly two hours, and was the last affair, of any consequence, 
 which occurred in the Delaware during this year."

 SECOND CAMPAIGN. 
 
 The residue of the year 1813, and the first seven months 
 of 1814, were disting^uished by nothing but the formation of 
 volunteer corps of the various species of arms, and the re- 
 
22 
 
 ciuiting of regular soldiers for distant service. Still there 
 was no organization of the troops into batallions or regiments. 
 Nearly all were strangers, not only to the evolutions of the 
 line, but to the simplest manoeuvres of the field. The 
 manual exercise and a knowledge of the drill taught in the 
 school of the company, was the utmost science that most of 
 them could pretend to, and the whole body, v/ith the excep- 
 tion of the few who had served the year before, was almost 
 as little qualified to take the field, as the same number of or- 
 dinary militia. The service of the preceding year, had in- 
 deed been productive of some beneficial effects, but the grand 
 essential qualification of an army, that of knoiving ho%v to act 
 and move in concert^ was wholly wanting. 
 
 In this defenceless and unprepared condition, not dreaming 
 of danger, were the inhabitants of Philadelphia, on the 26th 
 of August, when the news of the unfortunate battle of Bla- 
 densburg, and the capture of the city of Washington, both 
 of which events took place on the 24th, suddenly reached 
 them. All was consternation. Terror was depicted in every /■ 
 countenance. Already had the fears of some anticipated ere \\ 
 that moment the sacking of Baltimore, and not a few were 
 to be found, who predicted the identical day when the enenr 
 would dictate to Philadelphia the terms of her capitulation. ^ 
 These alarms however premature, had a most happy effect.' 
 They taught the people the folly of slumbering whilst the 
 foe was at the gates, and aroused the dormant spirit of thou- 
 sands who had hitherto regarded danger as at a distance. A 
 public meeting of the citizens was immediately convened, 
 and a committee of defence was appointed with ample power 
 to adopt such measures as the urgency of the occasion might 
 demand. 
 
 Consentaneously with this measure. General Bloomfield 
 resolved upon organizing a camp, and upon accepting the 
 services of such volunteer corps, as were prepared to offe 
 With that view he despatched an officer of the regular arm 
 to select a suitable spot at Kenneths Square in Chester count, 
 about thirty-six miles south west of Philadelphia, thirtcci' 
 
Sffes from Wilmington, and 8 or 9 from Chad's ford. This 
 place was designated as the point of rendezvous., and' souie 
 companies immediately took up their march and proceed- 
 ed to the spot. 
 
 The First City Troop of cavalry commanded by Capt. 
 Charles Ross, marched at the same time, for Mount Bull, a 
 height on the Chesapeake, five miles from Turkey Point and 
 thirteen miles from Elkton, commanding an extensive view of 
 the bay, where it estabhshed its permanent head quarters, 
 and from which a line of videttes, extending to the City, and 
 communicating daily with the camp, was formed. 
 
 The companies as they arrived on the ground at Kennet's 
 Square, which was designated as Camp Bloomfeld^ were 
 posted, and a course of discipline and duty strict as that which 
 was practised in the regular army, was at once introduced. 
 To this rigid system, originally enforced by Capt. Charles 
 W. Hunter, acting as Brigade Major under General Bloom- 
 field, and subsequently adhered to by the respective officers 
 in command, is chiefly to be acribed the high character which 
 The Advance Light Brigade then in its primitive discor- 
 dant elements, afterwards acquired. On the 7th of Septem- 
 ber, Lieut. Col. Clemson of the U. S. Army assumed the 
 command of the troops, which were by this time reinforced 
 by some companies of regulars. On the 14th Brigadier 
 General Cadwalader who had a few days before been ap- 
 pointed by the Governor to the command of the First Bri- 
 gade of the First Division of Pennsylvania Militia, and who 
 arrived in camp on the preceding day took command and 
 relieved Col. Clemson, who a few days afterwards moved 
 with the regular troops to take up a position^ear Iron hill 
 a few miles in advance of the Brigade. On the same day 
 upon which the General took com.mand, the Infantry in camp 
 at that time consisting of eight companies, were organized 
 into a Regiment by the election of the field officers whose 
 names appear on the annexed muster roll. On the 16th of 
 
24 
 
 the same month the companies of Artillery were organized 
 into a Batallion of which Capt. Prevost was chosen Major*. 
 
 On the 17th of September, the Brigade took up the line of 
 march, proceeded on the road towards Wilmington, and 
 encamped in the evening on Gregg's farm about three and 
 a, half miles from that town. On the 20th it changed its 
 position by removing to a field half a mile distant. On this 
 spot designated in the orders, as " Camp, Brandyivine** it 
 continued until the 29th when, as it was intended to take up 
 a permanent position, a more eligible scite for water and 
 salubrity was selected at the distance of about two miles 
 in a westen direction, which was occupied on the last men- 
 tioned day. To this encampment was given the name of Du- 
 PONT, from the proprietors of the ground, whose extensive 
 Manufacturing establishments on the Brandywine, are so 
 well known. It was on this field that the Brigade by a con- 
 stant attention to discipline and tactics acquired so perfect 
 a knowledge of that part of the military art which relates to 
 evolutions, and the duties of a camp, that it was considered 
 by experienced officers to have had no superior in the 
 service. 
 
 In the month of November some apprehensions having 
 been entertained by General Gaines then commander of the 
 District that the enemy, who had during the whole summer 
 and autumn maintained his position at the mouth of the De- 
 laware, meditated a landing on some part of its western 
 shore ordered Colonel Irvine of the Army who at that time 
 occupied a station two miles below New Castle on the 
 Frenchtown road, with a detachment of regular troops, to 
 proceed withjfiis command some distance below, and direct- 
 ed General Cadwalader to replace him with six hundred 
 men. - The companies detailed for this service were, as 
 follows viz. 
 
 * On the 14th of November the same Artillery Companies with tlie 
 others which subsequently arrived im camp vere organised into a 
 Regimen' by the election of the field officers whose names appear 
 on the muster roll.

 4. The 2d. Co. Union Guards,— Capt. Murray. 
 
 5. The Delaware County Fencibles, Capt. Serrill. 
 
 The order for this movement was received on the after- 
 noon of the 15th of November, and under circumstances 
 which created a general belief that a meeting with the 
 enemy would shortly take place. On the morning of the 
 1 6th. this Detachment, under the command of Lieut. Col. 
 Raguet proceeded to the designated spot, where it arrived 
 after a march of thirteen miles by 2 o'clock. The staff ap- 
 pointments having been made by the commanding officer, 
 the organization of the Detachment stood as follows : 
 
 Condy Raguet, Lieut. Col. Commanding. 
 
 Samuel S. Voorhees, Major. 
 
 Thomas R. Peters, Adjutant. 
 
 Frederick W. Sperry, Quarter Master. 
 
 Samuel Israel, dssistant Quarter Master.

 Cephas G. Childs, Sergeant Major. 
 
 William S. Hobson, Quarter Master Sergeant.

 The detachment reached the ground occupiea by Col9nel 
 Irvine just at the moment that officer was leaving it, where 
 it continued without the occurence of any material event 
 until the latter end of the month. A commissioned officer was 
 daily detailed and stationed at New Castle, for the purpose 
 of collecting from travellers, sea faring people and water- 
 men, such intelligence respecting the position and opera- 
 tions of the enemy a& might be obtainable, and a report of 
 
 C 
 
26 
 
 the result of his inquiries was made to the commanding 
 officer. In addition to this source of intelligence a line of 
 videttes had been extended from Port Penn at the head of the 
 Delaware Bay to Camp Dupont by Capt. Ross's troop which 
 was ordered to communicate with the detachment, and by 
 this means a daily intercourse was maintained between all 
 the branches of the Army. The lateness of the season 
 however deterred the enemy from attempting to ascend the 
 Bay, and all expectation of meeting him in the field was 
 abandoned. Two deserters from the fleet in the Chese- 
 peake fell into the hands of the videttes, who brought them 
 to the camp near New Castle (which was named after the 
 comanding General) where they were examined and sent 
 under guard to the City to be delivered over to the Marshall. 
 
 On the 28th of November, in consequence of cold heavy 
 rains which filled many of the tents with water, and rendered 
 the ground (which was nevertheless the best scite for an 
 encampment in the vicinity) so slippery with clay, as to be 
 almost impracticable for the sentries to walk their rounds, 
 the camp of the detachment was broken up, and the troops 
 were marched into quarters at New Castle, where a church, 
 the court house and a private dwelling were politely offered 
 by the inhabitants for their reception. All the rules of dis- 
 cipline and duty which were applicable to quarters were en- 
 forced, and a proper and correct deportment was observed 
 to the citizens, whose hospitality during the continuance of 
 the detachment in the neighbourhood had been conspicuous. 
 
 On the morning of the 30th of November, the Brigade 
 broke up its encampment at Dufiont^ and marched into 
 WilmingtoB, where it was joined by the Detachment from 
 New astle. The whole left Wilmington and reached Ches- 
 ter on the ensuingday and on Friday the 2d of December 
 early in the afternoon entered Philadelphia. Such a sight as 
 the march of a body of three thousand well disciplined and 
 uniformed soldiers with all their baggage and munitions of 
 war, had notbeen witnessed since the period of the Revolu- 
 tion and it may safely be said that a more proud and joyous 
 
27 
 
 day was never before experienced by the inhabitants of Phi- 
 lacelphia. 
 
 The very flower of the youth and the best hopes of the nation, 
 citizens of every rank and profession and of every fiolitical 
 na?ne, were there commingled in the ranks, united in a com- 
 mon cause the defence of their country, and exhibiting to 
 the monarchies of Europe the glorious spectacle oi practical 
 equality. Wives met their husbands, partnts their sons, 
 and sweethearts their lovers, with all the anxious delight, 
 so incident to a separation which involves the absent party 
 in peril, for although no occasion of meeting the enemy had 
 been presented, yet an expectation of service on the field of 
 battle, was perpetually and universally entertained, and the 
 present moment was only regarded as an armistice which 
 would be followed in the spring by an early and sanguinary 
 campaign. 
 
 The service upon which the first City Troop was en- 
 gaged, was of too important a nature to admit of its retuming 
 with the Brigade, and it was accordingly detained on duty a 
 short time longer, and did not reach the City until the 12th. 
 of December. 
 
 In addition to the advance Light Brigade a great body of 
 Troops amounting to near ten thousand men was assembled 
 in the neighbourhood of Marcus Hook, twenty miles below 
 Philadelphia, on the Delaware, under the command of Major 
 General Isaac Worrall. This force began to assemble in 
 September, and did not finally break up its encampment until 
 the 5th of December It was composed of Militia from va- 
 rious counties in the State, and a respectable number of vol- 
 unteer corps. As General Cadwalader reported directly to 
 the commander of the District, and as his Brigade acted in- 
 dependently of the troops at Marcus Hook, very little inter- 
 course was maintained between the two bodies. With the 
 latter therefore we had not a sufficient acquaintance to enable 
 us to speak of their discipline. 
 
 During the autum of 1814, a considerable number of vo- 
 lunteer companies were organized in the city and county, 
 
28 
 
 but did not take the field. The citizens also under the 
 direction of the cormnittee of defence occasionally occupied 
 themselves in constructing breast works or fortifications on 
 the west side of the Schuylkill, and a martial spirit seemed 
 to have been so extensively diffused through the whole com- 
 munity, that there would have been no want of soldiers for 
 the ensuing campaign, had occasion required them. 
 
 The Brigade was not dismissed fi'om the service of the 
 United States immediately after its return, but was held sub- 
 ject to future orders. On the 11th. of December, General 
 Cadwalader was named by General Gaines on his departure 
 to New Orleans in general orders, as his successor in the

ADDRESS OF THE EDITOK 
 
 The materials which compose this volume have been 
 aiTan^i^ed under the inspection of a gentleman who served as 
 an officer in the advance light brigade; and it is hoped that 
 the advantages of such a publication will be evident to all 
 who are actuated by a true esfirit dU corfis. The recollection 
 of military scenes in which one has acted a part, is always 
 accompanied with a degree of pleasure : but, independent of 
 that consideration, there is scarcely an individual who may 
 not, at some future period of his life, have occasion to refer 
 to events which may have had some connection with the war. 
 Nay, improbable as it may appear, the day will arrive with 
 many, when some proof of their having actually borne arms 
 in defence of their country may be of essential benefit to them 
 or their families. There are, no doubt, at this moment, 
 many of the veteran soldiers of the revolution suffering with 
 want, merely because they have not been able to recollect 
 the names of living comrades, who could bear testimony to 
 the justice of their claims; and although it is not to be ex- 
 pected that pensions will ever be granted to the volunteers 
 who served during the late war, yet occasions may frequently 
 be presented, wherein a patriotic devotion to the cause of the 
 country will operate as a consideration for the conferring of 
 appointments, favours, or employments. More especially 
 would this be the case should our country be again engaged 
 in war. Those who were already acquainted with the disci- 
 pline of troops, the practical duties of a camp, and the various 
 movements of an army, would naturally be looked to, as the 
 most capable to organise reinforcements; and it is not im- 
 probable that many of those who served in the ranks in 1814 
 
94 
 
 wili, at a future day, occupy the most distinguished stations 
 in the line. 
 
 The difficukies attending this compilation have far exceeded 
 the anticipations of the editor. Very few of the commanding 
 officers had retained muster rolls of their respective corps, 
 and there was no mode of procuring most of them but from 
 the state pay-master. Every care has been taken to insert 
 the names of all who were attached to the brigade and to 
 avoid mistakes ; but, notwithstanding this, it is probable that 
 there are some omissions, and erroneous spellings, which, 
 however, cannot be ascribed to the editor, but to those from 
 whom the muster rolls were received, or by whom they were 
 originally furnished. 
 
 As it is probable that there are many individuals who 
 would be desirous of furnishing themselves with positive 
 evidence of their having served in the field during the late war, 
 it is respectfully recommended to them to procure from the 
 commanding officers of their respective companies a certificate 
 of their service in the following form, or in any other- which 
 may be more minute. A blank leaf is left for the purpose.- 
 
 CERTIFICATE. 
 
 " THIS IS TO CERTIFY, That A. B. whose name 
 
 "* is written with his proper hand on the margin hereof, 
 
 '* faithfully served, until honourably discharged, as aAr/- 
 
 " vate in captain J. R. M*s. company, being the second 
 
 aq " company of the First Regiment of Pennsylvania Vo- 
 
 -jj " lunteer Infantry, attached to the Advance Light Bri- 
 
 " gade, in the service of the United States during the 
 
 " campaign of one thousand eight hundred and fourteen. 
 
 " Witness njy hand tiiis I6th day of November, 1820. 
 
 The certificate should be signed by the captain of the com- 
 pany, or in case of his decease or absence, by the surviving 
 senior officer. A statement of the age of the i)arty, and some 
 description of his person as to height and appearance, at the 
 lime of the date of his certificate, might perhaps be useful in 
 cases where there arc several of the same name. 
 
ADVERTISEMENT. 
 
 The publisher of this work will shortly put to press a copy 
 ®f the principal military orders issued during the campaign 
 of 1814. These documents, whilst they will revive the recol- 
 lection of many interesting incidents connected with the expe- 
 dition, will serve to shew the system of discipline maintained 
 in the camp as well as the sentiments entertained by the ge- 
 neral commanding the District of the efficiency of the Ad- 
 vance Light Brigade. They will also shew, that an expecta- 
 tion of meeting with the enemy was constantly entertained, 
 and that although the t,our of duty was performed v. ithout 
 bloodshed yet that it was accompanied by all those cares, 
 solicitudes, and watchfulness, which are inseparable from 
 a military life within reach of danger. The exposure of 
 the m n too, most of whom had never before slept a night 
 in the open air, to the nocturnal damps and fogs of Septem- 
 ber and October, and the chilling frosts of November, although 
 productive of very little disease^ must be ranked amongst mili- 
 tary hardships. Terrific stonns of lightning, the vivid flashes 
 of which were subject to the attraction of thousands of bayo- 
 nets, at times threatened annihilation to the magazine, an'l 
 an awful destruction to the many who slept within its reach. 
 Cold rains, one of which lasted for nine days almost without 
 intermission from the north-east, were not unfrequent. Storms 
 of wind and rain at night sometimes blew awa.y' entire tents, 
 and left their sleeping inhabitants without a shelter from the 
 blasts ; at other times the prostrate tents suddenly wrapped 
 in their watery folds the slumbering tenaiits, who with diffi- 
 culty extricated themselves from the cold adhesive sheets, 
 without a single change of clothes that had escaped the 
 
96 
 
 drenching of the falling torrents.* Towards the close of the 
 campaign the ground was frozen so hard, as to render it im- 
 practicable to drive tent pins, and the degree of suffering ex- 
 perienced by many of our patriotic fellow soldiers, who left 
 their distant homes in warm weather, and who had not been 
 supplied with winter clothing, was by no means inconsidera- 
 ble. And yet under all these circumstances, scarce a mur- 
 mur was to be heard, but on the contrary, a degree of merri- 
 ment and hilarity was universally exhibited. 
 
 The publisher cannot but think that the proposed publica- 
 tion will be highly useful as a book of instruction to volun- 
 teers and others, who may hereafter be called into military 
 service, as it will contain the system of discipline established 
 at Camp Dupont, which rigidly enforced, made the Advance 
 Light Brigade ivhat it was. 
 
 MARTIAL MUSIC. 
 
 After the close of the campaign of i814, a collection of 
 military airs was published by George E. Blake, No. 13, 
 south Fifth street, entided " The Martial Music of Camp, 
 Dufiont.** This work was arranged by the same gentleman 
 under whose inspection the present has been conducted, and 
 contains all the music of th« fifes, as well as the principal 
 marches performed by the band. The different airs of the 
 Reveillee, Troop, Retreat and Tattoo, are included, together 
 with all the minor tunes belonging to the various beats in 
 camp. To officers and others who \fish to be acquainted 
 with the music of a camp, this collection will be useful. 
 The price is % 2.
