WAYNE AT STONY POINT. BRILLIANT SUCCESS OF GEN. WASH INGTON’S BOLD PLAN. (Konuiuff British Fortress at Night—A Wonderful Mareh—Keen htratageiu to Outwit the Outer Hentluels- Daylight Finds Wayne In Possession. [CopyrttfJ i by American Press Association.] UK military grn his ami da rim; of W&MhinKtoo a.n displayed in the revolution <k> not /entitle him to ran k 1 with the grent^en erals of the world. His fame rears rather upon hi* character for cool ’ newt and hoj>eful neas in t ha darkest hours, his exalted patriotism and his firm and conru^e otis Itearing in the field and in Mffln cila. Xevertheleaa there were campaigns and haUlea that showed the highest ca pacity, ami suggest that with ample re sources and a chance to force the fighting, V/aahkigton might have won all mankind over to the view expressed by Frederick the Great, who called him the “greatest general in the world.” One such affair was the capture of Stony Point, on the Hudson, the night of July 15, 177i#. The year was one of great trial for the patriots. Provost was ravaging South «‘arolina with his Indians and Tory allies: Mathews whs raiding southeast Virginia, laying waste to whole counties, and Gov ernor Try on, of New York and Connect! cut, leisurely rocked in an easy chair while the towns of the revolutionists melted away before the Hritixh torch. Washing ton’s army lay at the Highlands, weak in men and resources and hampered by the eabaU at the seat of government, and only able to keep up communications w !th dis taut section*, without attempting grand campaigns. In order to divide the patriots Sir Henry Clinton moved up the Hudson, and seized and fortified Stony Point as a measure to cut New Kngiand off from the middle and southern colonies. The posi tion was a high bluff or promontory, sur rounded by water at times, and in dry Times concocted with the mainland by a narrow causeway over a swamp. It wa* v. U equipped by Clinton and manned with O ' J iru-u, enough on level ground to wi b xf .ud but in such a fortress presum ft’** / able to k«c*p ut bay all that could l»e brought against them. But Washington. w. »a!t as he wjw in men, determined to make the attempt, counting on ls>ldncss rather than numbera. He chose for leader “Mud” Anthony Wayne, whose decsls at the Brandywine and Monmouth were an earnest of thestuff that was In him. Whnn told that he had been selected to storm the strongest fortress in America ho deiland to his chief, *‘I will storm hell if you will only plan it.” Great caution was necessary, for the place was but forty-two miles from Clin ton’s base at New York, and the Hudson was open to him to send up re-enforce ment* incase he should suspect a move ment against Stony Point. Wayne had 1,£00 men, and the day before the attack, which wru to Ikj ut night, ho was at Sandy Bench, fourteen miles from th« fort. The Intervening distance was over rocks, through swamps and through forest clog ged with fallen trees. The column moved In Indian file, and after a tedious march, ill fitting fur the eve of such an undertak lug, it arrived before dark within a mile and a half of the scene. At this stage stratagem must come in, for an open attack on the fortress before them would Is* fool hardy. Wayne and bis officers personally recon nolle red, and they found a negro who hud the privilege of entering the fort at night with the password to sell fruit and other del lent* i cm. It was decided to make use of him to si lance the outer sentinels, so that the garrison should not be got under arms before the attack was under way. The storming column was divided into two parties, right and left, and each was preceded by a body of picked men with unloaded muskets and fixed bayonets. Lieut. Col. l)e Flttury led one advance body sud Maj. Stewart the other. These were preceded by forlorn ho;>e* of twenty men each, under Lieut*.Gibbon and Knox. The latter were to remove all abatis and oh Mtrnctions, in hiding guard* and sentinels The main divisions were leaded by Wayne and Col. Butler. Wayne had two regi meats. Febrig. r's and Meigs', and Butler his own regiment, with two companies un der Mnj. Mnrfey. The wide morass and causeway behind the point were guarded by I wo sentinels, tvbom it was essentia! to silence before at tempting the difficult p..'* tge. The negro, accompanied by two so! Ucr* in farmer’s garb, approached these one nfisr the other, gave tht* countersign a id drjw ii'mp. The farmer looking men * i u *! the Britons and promptly gagged t!n*M t> : any out cry. The whole com i l of Wayne now crossed the morMMS, an i at 11 J began the steep lucent. All theuogsof t ne neighbor ho<«l bad been kiibsi (hiring; the evening to prevent any outcry, but in some way the sentries on the hill took alarm and opened fire. The Am erica: is did not answer, but relied on the Iwiyonet when the time came “To arm*!

In this exploit, which has been called the most brilliant iu the revolutionary war, Wayne’s loss was fifteen killed an I eighty- three vrouaded. This was remarkably «mal!, iwit the darkness and the firing over hcadft, whicli favors the itKfcailtnU in mounting height*, rather than the weak lier* of the opposition, account for this. The British reported twenty killed, but the Americans accounted for sixtj'-t.hreeof the enemy's dead and 643prisoners, includ ing the commander. The rewards for this daring piece of work show the estimation in which It waa held by the country. Congress ordered a gold medal for Wayne and silver medals for the divliSer lenders, I)e Fleiiry and Stewart. Lients.

Charles Lee. by no means a Wayne parti san, wrote: “I do most seriously declare that your assault of Stony Point is not only the most brilliant, in my opinion, throughout the whole course of the war on either side, but that it is the most brill iant I am acquainted with in history. The assault of Schweiduitz by Marshal laimiuii I think inferior to it.” The celebrated Dr. Kush wrote from Philadelphia: “Our st reets rang for many with nothing but the namA of Gen Wayne. You are remembered constantly, next to our good and great Washington, over our claret and Madeira. You have established the national character of our country; you have taught our enemies that bravery, humanity and magnanimity are the native virtue* of the Americans.” Of Wayne’s m:inh ils in this assault, De Fle iry was a French npblecmn and a trained rail it an engineer.

If these statements were from the widows or exeeutors of policy-holders who had died, they would be sif.-nitlcant, or, if they were from policy-holders who were satisfied with their assurance because it furnished protection, and (rave ; them sufficient peac.e of mind to offset the burden of the continuing annual irremiums on their policies, they would be no more than reasonable assertions. But this satisfaction is somethin)- more than this: It is the gratification of men who have, over and above the protection from the assurance, rbalizkd on i> profitable investment. They have reason to be satisfied. For twenty years they have been buildini; up their business and accumulating fortunes, arm meanwhile their families and estates have been protected against tlie disaster which would have come, if through some accident they had died prematurely. But these dangers have now been passed, and what is the result / Must they say, “ IV> have paid out a great deni of money in premiums, bat ire hare en joyed the protection of our assurance, and are satisfied that our money has been well spent: ire hare nothing more to expect, and hare nothing further to ask." They misrlit say this, and be content, but they are able to say much more than this, thus: " We are more than satisfied because, in addition to tin protection giren for all these years, onr Tontine policies hare turned out to be good INVESTMENTS, as is proved by the fai t that the Ei/uitable has returned nit that we hare paid, with interest added ” Think of it!
