the militia gathered in a hurry, he hurls his cavalry on a gallop through the town; but before taking possession of it they leave on the ground about twenty of their men dead or wounded. The lesson will make Morgan more prudent. Passing by Salisbury, Palmyra, and Salem, he reaches at Vienna a telegraphic line, by means of which he gathers useful information concerning the troops summoned in haste to meet him. He flanks Vernon, which he finds well protected, and causes his column to move on Dupont and Versailles, while he beguiles the hostile militia with vain parleys. At last, in the morning of July 13th, he reaches at Harrison the Ohio State line. He has left Louisville behind him, and approaches Cincinnati; he must now proceed beyond this city, near which the principal forces of the enemy are concentrating. On the 8th, in the evening, Hobson had got as far as Brandenburg, guided by the light from the burning of the two steamers, which Morgan had destroyed before striking inlan

that, in the following spring, they removed to Port Royal. 1605 For an agricultural colony, a milder climate was more desirable; in view of a settlement at the south, De Monts explored and claimed for France the rivers, the 1605. coasts and the bays of New England, as far, at least, as Cape Cod. The numbers and hostility of the savages led him to delay a removal, since his colonists Chap. I.} 1606 were so few. Yet the purpose remained. Thrice, in the spring of the following year, did Dupont, his lieutenant, attempt to complete the discovery. Twice he was driven back by adverse winds; and at the third Aug. 28. attempt, his vessel was wrecked. Poutrincourt, who had visited France, and was now returned with supplies, himself renewed the design; but, meeting with Nov. 14. disasters among the shoals of Cape Cod, he, too, returned to Port Royal.
