Manual Cast Sundry Discontented And Sullen Looks From His Captors To
The Remnant Of His Own Command, While The Process Of Pinioning The
Latter Was Conducted, With Much Discretion, Under The Directions Of
Sergeant Drill, When Meeting, In One Of His Dissatisfied Glances, With
The Pale And Disturbed Features Of Griffith, He Gave Vent To His Ill-
Humor, By Saying:
"This Results From Neglecting The Precautions Of Military Discipline.
Had The Command Been With Men, Who, I May Say, Without Boasting, Have
Been Accustomed To The Duties Of The Field, Proper Pickets Would Have
Been Posted, And Instead Of Being Caught Like So Many Rabbits In A
Burrow, To Be Smoked Out With Brimstone, We Should Have Had An Open
Field For The Struggle; Or We Might Have Possessed Ourselves Of These
Walls, Which I Could Have Made Good For Two Hours At Least, Against The
Best Regiment That Ever Wore King George's Facings."
