WHY PRINCE CHARLIE LOST.
There might have been another
and different result to the battle
of Culloden, which shattered the
hopes of "Bonnie Prince Charlie,"
had not dissensions and rivalries
crept into the Highland army. Two
of the generals, Lord Elcho and
Lord George Murray, were far
more anxious to get up a duel with
each other than to fight the Duke
of Cumberland.
The Duke of Wellington was at
first greatly hampered in Spain by
the conduct of General Picton, the
leader of his cavalry. The two dis-
liked each other bitterly, and for
this reason Picton was always criti-
cising and even disobeying the or -
