A HEW YORK CEHTEHHIAL.

What the Cenotaph in the Wali of -Jit Paul's Becall*. i&mie

The Hundredth Aanivoraary of the Death of Geo* Bichard Moatgomery, the Hero of

CLuebeo.

A Day Long to he Remembered-

Tbt* is (bo d*jr when tbe hundred* and thoownds of New York's citizens who h*re passed old St. Pad's this manj a day to and from thoir places of business down town, should for once stop sod look st the quaint monument baiit into tbe east end of the timehonored structure, and if e*en by ao more than a minute's study of tbe in* scriptions upon the stone, do boner to the memory of tbe hero whose remaias it covers.

To-day, tbe 31st of December, is the hundredth anniversary of tbe unfortunate expedition against Qvebee, ia which fell tbe gallant Irish-American, Gen. Richard Montgomery, whoso dost is covered by tbe brown stone and marble monument whieh relieves tbe monotony of tbe Broscwsy end of Si. Paul's Church.

The hero of Quebec was born Dec. 2, 1736, at Convoy House, Rapbee. in tbe Berth ef Ireland. At the age of eighteen his earnest desir3 to become a soldier was gratified by the reception of a commission in tbe British army aad in 1757 he began his military career in America, gaining his first laurels with Wolfe on the very field on which his glorious life was destined to end. He distinguished himself in the expeditions against Martinique and Havana, and after selling out his commission, he emigrated to New Yerk, married a daughter of Judge Robert R. livingston, and entered upon the life of a farmer. While living at Rhinebeck, in Dutchess county, he represented the county in the Provincial Congress, and in 1775, having become thoroughly identified with the patriotic cause, was appointed one of the eight brigadiers to serve in the newly organised army of the united colonies. When the position was offered him he wrote to a friend that he would accept it on the ground that "the will of an oppressed people, compelled to choose between liberty and slavery, must be obeyed," and went immediately into service. At about this time his wife had purchased a large tract of land near what is now called

Barrytown, en the Hudson. The Genieral was attached as senior brigadier, to the larger of the two divisions seat to

Canada in the summer of 1775, aid when, in the early part of September, "he found himself before the fortress ef

John's, he wrote to his wife: "1 long to see you ia your new bouie, aad wish yoa eould get a store fixed in thtf hall they are the most comfortable thiags imaginable." His wish was novor gratified.

The illness of Gen. Schuyler having made his return to

Albany

necessary,

the command of the division derolved upen Montgomery, who, by a series of well directed movements, gained possession of Chambly, St. John's and Montreal, thereby oeaeming in the course of two months or less master ef a great part ef Canada. On the 4th of December be formed a junction with Arnold's troops and immediately started to march upon Quebec through a blindiag storm of sleet and snow in which his men suffered intensely. At a council of officers it was determined to eaptisro the city by a cour de main, and two attacks were projected, the

one on the lower town from the St 1 Reque suburbs, and the ether on the upper, at the Cape Diamond bastion, "to 1*2 existed ta the night and when the weather shoald bo favorable."

At 2 o'clock on the morning of Decomber 31, the two columns advanced amid a heavy fall of snow, which great1 impeded their movements, and after mach difficulty Montgomery, who led the attack on the Cape Diamond bastion, reached tbe first barrier, which was quickly carried. His mea, halfStarved, half-asked, and nearly worn out by fatigue, hesitated to continue tbt assault. Montgomery turned to them and cried, "Men of New York, you will not fear to follow when yotor General leads and with a shout the re-caceurAged troops rushed upon the second barrier, the British artillerymen poured one discharge ef grape into the advancing columns and took to flight Montgomery and hie two aids ttU dead upon the field the America itneken by the loss of a disorderly retntat, upon Quebec ended in

In cot»plia»ce with an act of tho nJ Lectt'^nre, the body waa bnmght to the city in tho summer of XS1& aad I the arrangements for its reoep&Sou atf Albany aad it* oonveyane* ia a ate to Kew York were ssade under tho peraonal direction of Gov. De Witt Clinton. It was here* by the Richmond, which had been draped ao a ftoatiat hearse, and when tho mowtm f8l pageant reached Xm Meatman* beautiful place oa tho Uudooo, the

steamer was stopped in order that the widow might look spoil the casket thai contained the remains of her noble husband*

She wrote to a niece a short time afterward: However gratifying to my feelings, every pang I felt was renewed. Tbe pomp with which the funeral was conducted added to my woe. When the steamboat passed with slow and solemn movement, stopped before my boose, the troops under arms, the dead march from the muffled druse, the mournful music, the splendid coffin canopied with crape and crowned with plumes, yen uiy conceive my anguish. 1 cannot describe it Such voluntary hooors were never before paid to an individual by a republic, and to Gov. Clinton's munificeuee much is owing.

MOVTOOKSBY'B WIIA.

Gen. Montgomery's will was made only a few days before tbe storming of Quebec. It is still in existence, and bean the signature of Benedict Arnold ass witness. By this instrument his farm st Kingsbridge was given to his sister, Lady Raneiagh, bat at the time of bis death tbe plsce wss ruined. It occupied a commanding position, and had for that reason been taken by the Continental army as the site of a fort. Tbe rest of his property wss bequeathed to his wife.

There sre hot few relies ot Mont gomery in existence. Tbe contents of bis trunk were sold in Canada, sad tbe gretter psrt of bis wardrobe purchased by Benedict Arnold. The watch and sesls taken from his person on the battle-field were delivered by General psrleton to Colonel Donsld Campbell who forwarded them to tbe widow at Montgomery Plsce. It is said that his sworaJs now in the museum of Morin College, Quebec, and that it is for sale If this is true, the precious relic should be secured, if possib.e, by tho Hew York Historicsl Society, or some other institution of the State, by which it may be presented where it belongs.

The only original portrait of Montgomery is at Montgomery Place, and represents him as a young man of 25, the age at which he came from Ireland to settle here. The portrait by Trumbull, now in the State House at Albany. was painted from this, and represents him as a very handsome man, of frank, ingenuous countenance, amiable disposition, great firmness, and undying courage.

The life of tbe hero has been written by several American authors, sad Bewell, tbe author of tbe well-knows couplet. No pent-up Utlea contract* our power*, Bat the whole boundless universe la our

Sad Now Years Reflections—Singular Effects of Burlington Bourbon.

[From the Burlington Hawkeye.] Hush! Hsrk! List, oh, list* It is time for dresms snd reverio. The dying year is passing away. If it had aay kiad of a hand it would take it up but no, it passes psssee slowly pssses railroad passes minstrel passes com passes pass us the mustard almost any kind of passeB.

And yet, methinks, it wsre not always thus. The midnight hour is sounding from the belfry tewor as in heavy tones the old town clock tolls the knell of tho dying yesr. We had to borrow a town eleck from a town eyor in Illinois in order to work this stanza through. For the Burlington town clocks are not on the knell, very strong. If the dying year waited for our town clocks to ring them out, tbe Centennial wouldn't come around for a thousand years. But no— tbe subject is too palatal, let it pass. It were better so. Better that the un buried thoughts that rise like restless ghosts and haunting, hover around memory's gate, should fold their pulseless hands en the still drapery aad sleep.

Ob, the long cruel dingbats that Bute magilder the tawdry thingumbobs of the flap-doodles in their ghastly gondernoes. And where? Ob, sonhrewned sirocco, who ate tho Caatilesoap?*«Hth! Memory, memory, bar thy iron grates.

Ah, well long, long and starless has been the night, but something oometh with tho morning Ay. Dunbar's gong.

TEREE HAUTE JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7,1876.

Thus cities grow, aad change comes with the growth. Small change. Gira me two threeo and two for aa oyereoat button. Kef Then fade every sordid joy.

Slowly tbe old year moves away slowly but surely it moves. Wherefore? Perhaps it doesn't like the neighborhood. Maybe somebody steals its wood. It goes swsy from us into tbe irretrievable past, the old year, not the wood, and we know not who has tsken it, tho wr^d, not tbe old year, and we embalm it with bitter tears, the old year—and we lock up the next cord we get the wood—for the minea of Golconda can not count its value, whose every moment sparkles with diamonds of thought, and golden instants of opportuaity, tbe old year, that is, and we load one or two of the hollow sticks with dynamite, the wood that ta, and lay its precious lessons away in mem ory's casket, the old yesr, you knew, aad leave them lyiag caselessly around for a trap, tbe wood, wc do that with and bid them deep in (be utmost chambers of the hesrt, tbe olid yesr ws're talking about—and it picks up astray aeighbor or two, maybe the wood does —and it perfumes lifs with the subtle essence of half forgotten pleasures snd sscred sorrows, the old yesr does, unless Bridget picks it up and chucks it into our own stove, the wood. Awsy! Those fsncies burn into the wearied brain. Lead me to Lethe's fabled stream where in its dark and turbid waves the soul msy hide from ev ery csrking esre snd be at rest What, ho! without there! Wine bring hither spsrkling wine, with its eyes snd tongue of flame. Wine, wine the old Crow kind.

Hush, the last stroke of the mid night hour trembles on the starlit sir. It is the dawning of the Centennial year. This year is a hundred years long. Oh, blessed thought, delightful vision for the man who pays his rent by the year! Oh, lingering horror for the man whose salary runs the same way! Oh, rare Centennial morn! Ob, natal birthday! Oh, longing eyes of yearning world! Oh, spotless record of unrecorded time! Oh, several other things. Oh, pshaw!

In conversation to-day the District Attorney openly expressed his perfect eoofidenee ie his ability to convict Babcock, and said the Government had secured some very stroag testimony in diUon to that produced before tht Grand Jury, and that if tbe Governmeat did not have a cas against Babcock it did not hsve one against Joyce and McDonald.
