PlaOb?)r?<l UftkUUb The dreadful drama of tho Ilovolu . Hot), says The Citicinnali Commercial Qaxctt4, was ontoring upon Iho last act, in the spring of 178L though tho foot* soro and ragged continentals know ft not, Tho.final storm-burst was enter ing In Virginia. Lafayetto, in tho com mand. of the Virginia array, was com p oiled to evacuate Richmond before tho advance of Cornwallis; nnd Arnold, tho traitor, at tbo head of 2,600 men, was marching to veluforco tho confi dent royalists. Monnwkiie Gon. Wayno was onrotUo from Pennsylvania to join Gon. Greene in tho Carotin as. Hut Washington had ordorcd Wayno to aid Lafuyetto, should tbo latter nood roinforccmcnts in his rosistanoo to Cornwallis. Lafayette's troops wero in a dispirited and disor derly condition upon tho rotreat, and Cornwallis know it. In writing of tho pursuit the duko said: "Tho Doy can not oseapo mo," This "boyhood" of tho bravo young Fivuchruan was a source of ridicule among British officers, and of jealousy among tbo coutlnontnls. Of tho latter, Gen. >Vayn? was a oonspicuous in sluuco. His reputation, rank, and violent temper nmdo him intolerant, and ho novor failed to givo expression to his opinions in unmeasured terms. Wnyoo was but a day's march fcora Lafayotte when ho received an order from tho latter to join aud co-operato with him, indicating theroin tho routo Wayne's army should tako, aud tho point whoro tho forcos should bccomo united. 4 Upon roaehing tho designated point. Lafayetto was surprised not to moot Wayno or rooeivo any word from him. This delayed Lafayette's movoments and filled his mind with npprehonsion. Tho marquis .thereupon sent his aid do o;unp, Altij. Anderson, to urge Gen. Wayne to maroh with all haste. (This ofllccr was Maj. Richard* Clough An derson, aid-do-caiup to Lafayetto, tho father of Maj. Anderson, of Fort Sum ter memory, and tho late Lara Ander son, Esq., of Cinoinnatl.) . Maj. Anderson found Wayne in camp, nnd received from him an un gracious promiso to movo up. At the end ofsthree days Lafayetto, learning that Wayne was not advancing, again sent Maj. Anderson with a peremptory order to join him by forced marches; and Maj. Andorson' was instruotod to remain with Wayne, and to send for ward hourly dispatches to his ohief un til tbo troopa should arrive at camp.
