For this ,purpose Argyle once more
moved ,toward Inverary, having an
opportunity at -every step- to deplore
the severities which the 'hos'tile :clans
had •exercised on 'hi:s :dependants and
ooun•try. Whatever noble 'qualities :the
Highlanders possessed and .they had
many, -clemency in treating a .hostile
+country •was not of the number; hut
even the ravages of hostile 'troops
combined to swell the nunnlber of•A,rg-
yle's followers. 'It b. still a Higlh.land
proverb. He whose house is burnt
must :become a soldier; and hundreds
of the inhabitants of 'these :unfortun-
ate valleys •had now no 'main-
tenance, save :byr exercising 'upon oth-
ers the severities they had :themselves
sustained, and no 'future prospect of
happiness, excepting in the 'gratifica-
tion of revenge. His 'bands were,
therefore, augmented by the vary
'eircumstances which had 'desolated
his country, and Argyle soon found
himself at the head of three thousand
determined men, 'distinguished for
activity and courage, and commanded
by 'gentlemen of his own name, who
yielded to none in those qualities.
Under himself, he :conferred the
•command upon Sir Duncan Camnplbell
of Ardenvohr, and another Sir Dun-
can Campbell of Auchenbreck, an ex-
perienced and veteran soldier, 'whom
'he had recalled from the wars of Ire-
land for this 'purpose. The cold spirit
of Argyle 'himself, however, clogged
the military councils of 'his .more in-
trepid assistants; and it was resolved
not withstanding their increased force,
to observe the same 'plan of opera-
tions. and to 'follow Montrose cau-
tiously, in whatever 'direction he
should march, avoiding an engage-
ment until an opportunity should oc-
cur of falling upon his rear, while he
'should be engaged with .another en-
emy in front,
CHAPTER XVIII
The military road connecting the
chain of forts as it is called, and run-
ning in the general line of 'the present
Caledonian Canal, has now completely
opened the great glen, or 'chasm, ex-
tending almost across the whole is-
land, once doubtless filled by the sea,
and still affording basins for that
long line of lakes, by means of which
modern art has united the German
Atlantic oceans. The paths or tracks
by which the natives traversed this
extensive valley, were, in 1645-'6, in
the same situations when 'they awak-
ed the strain of an Irish officer,
who had been employed in converting
them into practicable military roads,
and whose eulogium begins, and for
aught I know, ends as follows:—
"Had you seen but these roads 'before
they were made,
You would have held up your hands
and bless'd General Wade."
But, bad as the ordinary paths were,
IsSontrose avoided them, and led his
.army, like a herd of wild 'deer front
forest to forest, where his enemies
could learn nothing of his motions,
while he acquired the most 'perfect
knowledge respecting theirs ,from the
friendly clans of Cameron and
14f'Donnell, whose .mountainous dis-
tricts he now traversed. Strict orders
had been given that Argyle's advance
should he watched, and that all intell-
igence respecting his motions should
be communicated instantly to the
General •himself,
It was a moonlight night, and Mon-
trose, worn out ley the fabigties .of the
day, was laid down to sleep in a mis-
erabie shielinig. He had only slumber-
ed two hours, when some one touched
his shouder. He looked up, and,' by the
stately form sod •deep voice, easily re -
'cognized the :chief .of the Camerons.
"I ;have news for you," said that
leader, ''which is worth while to arise
and listen to."
"Wildly can bring no other," said
Montrose, addressing the 'Chief by his
pateonyinic title—"are they good or
bad?"
"As you may -take them," said the
Chieften.
"Are. whey certain?" 'demanded Mon
arose.,
THE SEAFORTH NEWS THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1939
I riched his :troirp•s by the plunder . of
:that fertile eseetry, although eneltaced
from the nonthwa'd by' the'large army
which Wallenstein had assembled in
• Both emia.
The chiefs of Gienigarry, Kep:poch,
and L:ochiel, whose olaii•s, 'equal in
oomag,e and nnilitanyfame to any in
the Highlands, lay 'wi:tdnin the'oeilgh-
bonUood of the scene of :action,Icles-
pecihed the fiery, enoss +through their
vassals, to summon every one wlho'
mould bear argils to 'meet the ;King's
li:eutenan:t,.and ,to join, rthe etas -dards
of :their reslpecei ve 'Oltiefs as 'they near-
ched ;towan'ct Inverloohy, As the order
was lenuplea'ti•calley,giv:en, it was speed-
ily and •willinghy obeyed. Their nee -
ural dove ;of 'war, 'their zeal for the
royal clause,-4or they viewed the
King in' the light 'of is `•chief 'whom
his ctansemen had ;deserted,—es well
as !their •ianplicdt 'obedience to their
owe: 'patriarch, ,drew in .to Mo strose's
army' not ,only all in. the' neighbor-
hood :who were ab!le 'to ;bear arms, :but
some 'wh'o, in, age et least, might have
been ;esteemed past the use of them.
During ,the next day's 'march, which,
being :directed straight 'through the
mountains of (Lochaber, 'was unsus-
pected by 'the .enenny, his 'forceswere
augmented by duannd'fuls of men' issil-
ing'f:rom .each 'glen, .and ranging'thean-
selves onder'the (banners .of their -res-
pective 'chiefs. This was a :circums-
tance highly in's'piriting to the rest of
the army, who, 'by the 'time'they app-
roached the enemy„ 'found then,
increased. •oonsid'erably more ,than
one-fourth, as had ;been 'proph'esi'ed
by the valiant deader of the 'Camerons.
While Montrose executed this
cou•oter-march, Argyle had, at the
.head of his gallant army, advanced :up
the sotet:hern side .of Loch •Eil, and
reached the river Loohy, which com-
bines that lake with Loch Loohy. The
ancient eastile of 'Inverloohy, 'once, as
it is 'said, a royad fortress, and still,
although. ,dismantled, a place of some
strength and consideration, offered
convenient 'head'quarters., and there
was ample room for Argyle's army' to
encamp around'bim in the valley,
where .the Lathy joins Loch Ell. Sev-
eral 'barges :had attended, :loaded with
provisions, so ,that they were in every
respect as well accommodated as such
an army wished or expected to be.
Argyle, in council with Auchenbreck
,and Ardenvohr, expressed 'his full
.confidence that Montrose was .now on
the :brink of ,destruction; that his
,troops must gradually ;diminish as 'he
moved ,eastward through such un-
couth paths; that if he went westward
ire musk encounter Urrie and Baillie;
if northward, fall foto the 'rands kif
Seaforth; or should he 'choose any,
halting :place, he 'would 'expose 'him-
self to be attacked by three armies at
on ce.
cannot rejoice in the :prospect,
my lord," said Auchenbreck, that
,James Grahame will be crushed with
little assistance of 'ours. Ha has left a
heavy account in Argyfeshire against
him, and I long to recken with 'him
drop of 'blood for drop ,of blood, I love
not the payments of such debts by
third hands."
"You are :too scrupulous," saki Arg-
yle; "what signifies it by whose hands
the blood of the 'Grahames is split?
IR is time that of the sons of Dieertnid
should cease to flow—What say you,
Ardenvohr."
I
say, :my lord." re,plied Sir Dun-
can, 'that I think Auchenbreck will
be gratified. and will himself have a
personal opportunity of 'settling acc-
ounts with Montrose for his depreda-
tions. Reports have reached our out-
posts that the 'Cannerons are assembl-
ing their full strength on ,the skirts of
Ben Nevis; this must be to join the
advance of Montrose, and not to
cover his retreat"
"It ;must the some scheme of har-
assing and depredation," said Argyle,
"devised by the inveterate malignity
.of bl'Ilduy, which he terns loyalty.
They can intend no more than an att-
ack on our outposts, or some annoy-
ance on 'to -.morrow's march."
I' have sent out .Scoots ' said Sir
Duncan, "in every direction to pro-
cure intelligence; and we must soon
hear whether they 'really do assemble
any force, .upon what point, or with
what purpose."
It was late ere any tidings were re-
ceived; but when thte mon hail aris-
en, a considerable bustle in the Camp.
and a 'noise immediately after heard
in the castle, anttounced'the arrival of
important intelligenpe.,-iOf •the"'acouts
first dispersed by Ardenvohr, some
had returned without being able to
collect anything, save uncertain rum-
ors 'concerning movements in the
,country .of ,bhe Camerons. I+t 'seemed
as if the skirts toe Ben Nevis were
sending forth • 'Chose ettnaccoun table
and 'partentaus 'sounds with which
they sometimes ann:ou•nce the Bear ap-
proach •oaf a .storm. Others, whose zeal
carried them 'further ♦upon their miss-
i,on, were entrapped . 'and siain, :or
made prisoners, by the inha'bi'tants of
the fastnesses trap which 'they endeav-
orect to ,p•enetrate: At 'length, on the
rapid advance of M'ontrose's army,
his advanced guard :and the outposts
of Argyle (became aware ;of :each ,eth-
er's presence, and after exchanging a
"Yes," answered M'lIduy, "or an-
other •rn•essenger should have 'brought
them. 'Know that, 'tired with the task
imposed upon one :of accompanying
that unhappy Dalgetty and his hand-
ful ,of 'horse, who detained me for
hours on the .march at the ,pace of a
crippled badger, I made a stretch of
four miles with eix'of any people in the
direction 'of Snveriochy, a•nd there met
with Ian of G•lenroy, w'ho had 'been
out for intelligence. Argyle is moving
upon Inveriochy with three 'tlous'and
chosen men, cotnman•ded Iby the flow-
er of: the sons of Diarntid— These are
my news—they are certain—it is for
you to construe their purport."
"Thier' purport most be 'blood," an-
swered Montrose, readily and cheer-
fully; "the voice of M''Iiduy is ever
pleasant in the ears • of Montrose,
and most pleasant when it speaks of
erne brave enterprise at 'hand—What
are our musters?"
He ;them called for light, and easily
ascertained that a great part of his
followers having, as usual, dispersed
to secure their booty, he had not with.
him above 'twelve or fourteen hund-
red men.
'Nat much above a 'third," said
1imutros'e, :pausing, "of Argyle's
force, and Highlanders opposed :to
Highlanders,—With the blessing of
God upon the :royal cause, I would not
hesitate were the odds but one to
two,"
"Then do not 'hesitate," said Cam-
eron; ;'rfor when your trumpets shall
sound to attack M'Callum More, not
a man of these glens will remain deaf
to the summons. Glengarry—Keppocb
—I myself—would destroy with fire
and sword the wretch who should re-
main 'behind ander any pretence
whatsoever. To -morrow, or the next
day, shall be a day of battle to all who
bear the name of %;'Donnell or Cam-
eron, whatever he the event"
"It is gallantly said, my .noble
friend;" said Montrose, ,grasping his
hand, ".and I were worse than a cow-
ard did I not do justice to such fall-
owers, by entertaining the most in-
dubitable hopes of success, We will
turn back on this M'Callum More,
who follows us like a raven to •dev-
•our the relics of our army, Should We
meet 'braver men who may be able 'to
break its strength! Let the :Chiefs and
leaders be called as quickly as
possible; and you, who have brought
us the 'first news of this joyful ev-
ent,— for such it shall 'be,—you, M9-
duy, shall bring it to a joyful issue,
by guicling us the best .and nearest
road against our enemy."
"That will I willingly do." said
M'Ilduy; "if I 'have •;'hnwn you paths
by which to retreat through these
dusky wills, with far more Headiness
will I teach you how to advance
against your 'foe."
A :general 'bustle now prevailed, and
the leaders were everywhere startled
from the :rude couches on which they
had sought temporary repose.
"I never thought," :said Major Dal-
getty, when summoned up from a
handfull :of rugged heather roots, "to
have parted from .a bed as hard as a
stable -broom with such had will; hut,
indubitably, having but one •man of
military experience in his army, his
Excellency the Marquis may be vin-
dicated in. putting 'him upon hard
duty."
So saying, the repaired to the •coo n-
cil, where, notwithstanding his ped
antry, Montrose seemed always to
listen to 'him with 'considerable atten-
tion; partly because the Major really
posses•eed military knowledge and ex-
perience, and' .often 'niade :suggestions
which were found of advantage, an
,partly 'because it 'relieved the 'Genera
from :the necessity of deferri•ng enter
sty to the +opinion of .the 13i:cghlan
Chiefs, and gave him acielitiona
ground for disputing it when it wa
no:t'agreeaible'to his own. On the pies
eat occasion, Dalgetty joyfully ac
quiesced in the proposal of mssrchin
back and confronting Argyle, which
he 'compared to the valiant resohitio
of the great Gustavus, who, rove
against the Duke of Bavaria, and en
n
d
few .musket -shoes and
back ,to their eespeotiv:e
to convley initelligenoe
,orders. •
Sir Duncan Campbell and Aacherd-
breck instantly threw themselves on
'horseback, in ender to tvisit (the state
of the out'p:osts;, and Argyle 'main-
tained :his ,character of •oonunan'iler-in-.
chief with reputation, Iby making a
respectable eerrengeme:n't of his forces
in -the plain, as it - was evident that
they 'might nbowexpect a n'igihit alarm,,
or an ettaek in the morning ae 'furth-
net, Montrose had kept his fezzes so
cautiously within :the :defiles of 'the
mountain, drat iso 'effect which 'Au:ch-
enlbreok :or Ardesvcyh:r :throu•ght it
prudent to attempt, could ascertain
proba'b'le Strength. They ;were aware,
however, 'that et the utmost computa-
tian•, it:must 'b;e :inferior ,bo 'their own,.
and ;they returned to •Argyle .to in'fo'luo
hien of the amount :of 'their observat-
ions; that nobleman. refused to bel-
ieve that "Montrose could he in pres-
eive Ithat.'M:ontros'e ;coueld be tin pres-
'enc'e h•i'mself. He said, "It was a mad-
ness, 'of which even !James 'Grabam'e,
in 'his height of ;presumptuous !frenzy,
was incapable; :and he :doubted not
thee their :march was ;only impeded by
their .ancient eanennies, Gdenco, Kep-
pooh, and ;Glengarry; and perhaps
M'Vourigh, •with his .MtP:hersons,
might have assembled a :force, which
Ise 'knew ,must Ibe greatly inferior m
numbers to his .own, and whom,
therefore, he ,doubted snot to disperse
by force or by tennis :of capitu•lation."
The :spirit of Argyle's 'followers
was Ihigh,ehroathing'vengeance for (the
clieaster which their 'country 'had so
lately endengone; and the night pass-
ed in anxious hopes that the en erning
might dawn upon their ,veng'eanc'e.
The outposts of 'either army kept a
careful watch, and'th:e soldiers of Arg-
yle slept in the 'order of tattle which
they were next day to 'occupy.
A .pale dawn had scarce 'begun to
tinge :the tops of these immense
mountains, when the leaders of 'both
anmies prepared for the 'business of
the day. It was the second of Feb-
ruary 116-1t5-6: The clansmen of Arg-
yle were arranged in two lines, not
far from the angle between the river
and' the lake, and niece an appearance
.equally resolute and .formidable.
Aauohenbreck would willingly have
cotnn,enced the battle by an attack
on the .outposts of the enemy, but
Argyle with more 'cautious policy,
preferred receiving to 'making ,the 'on-
set. Signals were soon heard, that
:they would not long wait 'for it in
vain, The :Campbells could :distingu-
ish, in +theegorge of" 'the- mountains,
the war -tunes 'of various clans as 'they
advanced to the ,onset. That of the
"Cameron, which bears the 'ominous
words, addressed to the 'wolves and
ravens, '''Gonne to qne, and I will give
you flesh," was loudly re-echoed from
their native glens. 'In the language of
the Highland 'bards, the war voice of
Glengarry was not silent; and the
gathering tunes .of other tribes could
he plainly •distin•quished as .they succ-
essively came up :to ;the ,extremity of
the passes .hint which they were to
decent into the plain.
"You see," said Argyle to his kins-
man, "it is as I said, nee have only 10
deal with ;our neighbors; (James Grah-
ame has not ventured to show us bis
banner,"
At this moment there resounded
from the 'gorge of the pass 'a lively
flourish of trumpets, in that note
with 'which ft was the ancient Scottish
fashion to salute the royal standard.
"You may hear, my lord, from yon-
der signal," said Sir Duncan ;Camp-
bell, "that he who pretends to be the
King's Lieutenant must be in person
among these men."
"And has :probably 'horse with
hint," said Auchenbreck 'which I
could not have anticipated. But shall
we Took -pale :for that, MY' lord, when
we have foes 'to fight and wrongs to
revenge?"
Argyle was silent, and ]co'ke'd upon
his arm, which bung in a sash, owing
to a fall 'which the had :svitainod in
the preceding ;march.
"1't is true," interrupted Ardenvohr,
eagerly, ,eny' lord 'of Argyle, you are
.disabled 'from using either sword or
pistol; you 'trust retire on 'board the
,galleys -your life is 'precious to us as
a :head—'your (hand .cannot he useful,
eo us as a soldier."
"'No," said Argyle, 'pride •contending
with irresolution, "it shall never be
said that I 'fled 'before Montrose; if I
cannot fight I shall at least die in the
midst of my children.".
Several ;other . principal Chiefs of
the :Campbells, with one voice, .con-
jured ansi ,dbte'sted their Chieftain to
leave them for ,that .day to the leading.
.of Ardenvohr 'an'd Atechenreck, and
to be1iold the conflict from a :distance
and in safety: -We dare not stigma-
tize Argyle with :poltroonery; for,
though 'his life was marked by no ac-
tion of bravery, yet he 'behaved with
an a uch •oompasere and ;dignity in' the
final and ,closing scene, that this con-
duct upon the present and ,similar 'oc-
casions should be rather imputed eo
indecision than to want of courage.
But when ;the small. still 'voice within
a man's own ,breast, which hills bion
arrows, fell
Main bodies,
and receive
:that this life is 'of 000sequence ao him-
self, is seconded iby that of ,nunttlbee
around hero, 'wlho :assure ;him that it is
of equal advantage eo the eu'bli:c, his-
tory affords enatiy examples of :men
mote habitually ''daring ;than Argyle,.
.who have 'consulted ,self-preservation
when the 'temptations n o it •wlane so
powerfully ' increased,
"See :hili on 'board if You 'will, Sir.
Duncan, said A'ucbenlbreck to his
kinsman; "i1 :rust be my duty to prey -
ea :this spirit !from; spreading Wither
among 'us,'
So :sayfn'g, he (threw himself among
the ranks, entreating,,,commanding
and conjuring the 'soldiers, :to remem-
ber their ancient ,fame and.'theie :pr:e:s-
e'n't Iauperiorbty; the .wrongs they had
to revenge, if successful, and the Ifab'e
they .had to dread, if ,vanquished; and
inventing ,to every (bosom a portion
of the fire :which glowed in his own.
$rawly, enean'wlhile, and apparently
with reluictance, Argyle suffered him-
self :bo 'be ' forced by his ;officious ;kins-
man to the 'venge :of 'the ia'ke, and was
transported sen board of a galley, from
tine deck 'of which he surveyed :with
mote safety than credit the Scene
which .ensued.
Sir Demean !Cantpibell of 'Ardenvohr,
'notwithstanding the •ungency o;f ;the
,occasion, 'stood 'with his eyes riveted
on .the boat which bore his ;Chieftain
from the 'fi'el'd :of battle, There were
feelings 'in bis !bosom which could not
be expressed; For elm character of a
Chief was that of a father, and the
heart of a clansmen durst ,not dwell
upon 'his failings 'with critical severity
as upon those of :other men, Argyle,
too, !harsh 'and severe :to 'others, was
generous and liberal among this 'kins-
men, :and the noble heart of Arden-
vohr VMS wrung with 'bitter anguish
When he re'flect'ed to what interpreta-
tion his present :conduct might subleeat
him,
"It is lbettbr it should be so," said
he to himself, devouring his own emo-
tion; "but—of 'tis line of a hundred
sires, I know sot one who 'wouldhave
retired while the banner of Diarmid
waved in the wind, in the face 'of its
most inveterate foes!"
A loud :shout now compelled him to
turn, and to hasten with all ;dispatch
to his post, wlnieh was on lire right
'flank of Argyle's little army.
The retreat of Argyle had not pass-
ed unotbserved by this watchful 'enemy
Who, oecopying the superior ground,
,could nark every circumstance 'which
(passed tbei'ow. The 'movement of three
or 'four horsemen to the rear showed
that those who retreated were men of
rank.
"They are going," said Dalgetty, "to
put their 'horses out of danger, like
prudent cavaliers, 'Yonder 'goes Sir
Duncan 'Campbell, riding a (brown !bay
,gelding, which I had •marked for eny
own second charger."
"You are wrong, Major," said Mon-
trose, with a bitter smile, ''they are
saving their precious Chief,—Give' the
signal for assault instantly—send the
word 'through the ranks,—Gentlenren,
noble Chiefs, Glengarry, K.eppoah,
M'Vourigh, upon them; instan'tlyl—
Ride eo M'Ilduy. Major Dalgetty, and
tell ;them to charge as lie loves Loch-
alber--return and bring our 'handful'
alt 'horse to any standard, They shall
he ‘placed with the 'Irish as a reserve."
CHAPTER 'NI'N'ETEENTH
The trumpets and 'bagpipes, 'those
clamorous harbingers of blood and
death, at 'once united in the signal for
onset, which was replied to by:the cry
of more than. two thousand 'warriors
and the echoes of the mountain glens
behind 'them. Divided into three ;bod-
ies or -column's, the Highland follow -
ors of Montrose poured from the de-
files .which ha'd :hitherto concea'l'ed
then from their enemies, and rushed
with the utmost determination upon
the :Campbells, who waited their
charge with the 'greatest firmness. Be-
hind these charging columns marched
in line 'the Irish, under Colkitto, in-
tend'ed 'to farm the reserve. With thein
was the royal standard and Montrose
'himself; and ,on the 'flanks were about
fifty horse, cinder Dalgetty, which by
wonderful exertions 'had ;been kept in
some &art fit for service.
The right collision of loyailists was
led Iby Glengarry, the .left by 'Lochiel,
and the .centre by the Earl of Men -
tale', who preferred •fighting on foot
in a ,Hlgilrland 'dress to remaining with
the ,cavalry.
The Highlanders poured on with
the 'proverbial fury of their country,
firing 'their guns, and . discharging
their arrows, at a little distance from
the enemy, who received the assault
with the .mast determined .gallantry.
Better provided with musketry than
their enemies, Stationary also, and
therefore taking the more decisive
aims, the lire :of Argyle's 'followers was
more destructive than that which they
sustained. The royal clans perceiving
this, rested' to close quamters,'and snc-
ceedecl oa ;two 'points in throwing
their enemies :into disorder, With reg-
iilar ,troops this must have anhieved a
victory; (but here Highlanders were
opposed to Highlanders, .and the nat-
ure of the weapons, as well as •the.,•ag-
ility of those who wielded them, . was
equal :an bobhlsides.
