The average author would probably laugh at the statement that, . at one time, in the world's history, manu- scripts, simply as such, irrespective of the nature of the text, were immensely valuable. In ancient times manu- soripts 'were important articles from a commercial point of view; they were excessively scarce, and were preservec with the utmost care. Even the usur- ers were, glad to lend money on them when the owners were obliged to offer them in pawn. It is related in an ancient tome that a student of Pavia, who was reduced by his debaucheries, raised a new for- tune by leaving in pawn a manuscript and a grammarian his of the who was ruined by a fire rebuilt house with two small volumes Cicero, through' the ready aid of pawnbroker. ---------- "Xmas Pocket Money.

He was a gentleman of liberal education, soldiery in bearing, and of high as- pirations. A min "of means, he had not. joined 'the filibustercrs for plunder or mercenary gains. There was noth- ing of the bripand about him, which could be said of but few of his fol lowers, Of the true state of affairs in Upper Canada, he knew but little. Be- lieving that his invasion was for the purpose of ing an opp people, he expect the yeomanry of Upper Canada, to flock to his standard, but Upper Canada, as much as they clam- ored for political reform, had no in- tention of, aiding filibusterers and so Von Shoultz found an. enemy where he expected "an ally. After having been harassed for alm: a year by the gang - of ruflians that infested the frontier and raided: the province under the guise of being its hberators, the authorities and the people of Upper Canada were in no. mood to show mercy, even to so misguided a man as Von Schoultz, Shortly after the defeat of the up- rising at Montgomery's tavern on De- cember 7th, 1837, the filibustering com- menced, participated in by - Canadian refugees, but carried on principally by American 'sympathizers"" most of whom 'were 'wagabonds and ruffians. Driven from Navy Island the filibus- ters chose 'other points of attack-- Amherstburg in the southérn peninsula and Hickory Island, four miles below Gananoque. Both were misorable fail- ures.

Johnston. . The pass- engers and crew were driven ashore and the steamer set on fire and: de: stroyed. Johnston: and his river pir ats found 'a safe retreat among the Thousand . Islands and gubsaquantly raided farm houses on Amherst Island, nedr Kingston. Four bodies of mar- ines were sent to this part of the riv- er, and Johnston and his gang were compelled to disappear for a time. During the summer there were raids across the frontier at Niagara, and Jate in the autumn another against Windsor. But the most formidable of all these incursions was that led by Von Schoultz against the town of Prescott. Early in November the fili- husters. assembled in large numbers at Oswego, Sackett's Harbor, Ogdens- burg 'and other places along the St. Lawrence route. They were about ..to make their most formidable attack upon Upper Canada. On the morning of the 11th, ~the steamer United States, on her regular trip eastward from Oswego, started with about one hundred and fifty passengers, about all of whom were filibusters bound for Canada. Their baggage consisted of boxes and kegs, containing arms and ammuhition. © At Sackett's Harbor and Cape Vincent more'men and arms were taken on. At the foot of Long Island two schooners--the Charlotte, of Toronto, and the Charlotte, of Os- wego--were taken in tow and lashed one on each side of the steamer. They men, and carried munitions of war, filibustering hero, now a "eom- modore," was in ' command of one - of the schooners, and in| command of the other was "Colonel'" Niles Gustaf Schobtewiski Von Schoultz, a native of Poland. The commander-in-chief- was "General" John Ward Birge, but Von Schoultz was really the leader of the expedition which now, mustered 600 men. As they proceeded down the river the boxes were opened and the force armed and supplied with ammunition. Just above Morristown the schooners were cast off and the steamer proceeded to Og- densburg, arriving there shortly be fore daylight. The scliooners sailed to Prescott where it was proposed to land the force "and capture Fort Wellington. One schooner, the "Charlotte of To- ronto," actually made fast 'to the wharf, but while the officers were dis- puting as to the best mode of at- tack it became 'evident that the peo- ple of ithe town were preparing te give the filibusters a hot reception. At the eame time other schooner grounded on the U.S. side of the river, and was thus unable to be of assistance. The "Charlotte of Toronto" therefore, left the wharf and sailed about a mile down stream, anchoring opposite . a stone windmill on the Canadian side, a structure with walls several feet thick. It had been erected 'in 1822 bs a West India merchant, and near it, close, to the highway stood stone 'houses.

A few of the invaders es- caped by means of small boats, while were slain about forty in all, The loss on the British Canadian side was two officers and fourteen rank and file killed, and about sixty wounded; Von Schoultz was tried by courl- martial in old Fort Henry on No- vember 28th, 1838. He pleaded guilty. | The judge-advoecate cautioned him ro- specting tho consequences of such a plea to him, that in the present vi:- cumstances of Upper Canada he could hold out no hope of mercy, and if he thought proper he might withdraw his ylea and plead not guilty. The pris- oner answered that he had in- duced to take command of the invad- ers under false impressions and now that he saw the delusion he was aware of the nature of his conduct. It was no use te say anything in defence and he should persist in his plea of guilty. Formal ovidonce was taken, the prisoner' found guilty and - con- demned. to death by hanging.
