(Pitsburgrh 'Gazette-Timee.) For historical reasons it to gratify ing: that at last a monument has been erected commemorative of one, of the tragic chapters of the making' of this region what It ie. Many attempts have failed to raise funds for a monument on "Braddock's Field," the scene of the battle in which he and so many Other brave men lost their lives not to honor the memory of Gen. Brad dock, but to mark the epot and be a memorial of the massacre. Hie burial place having been discovered, a park has been made and a monument erect ed by the people of Uniontown which answers the purpose of the other me morial. As to the Qualify of Gen. Braddock himself it may be said that he was brave ts brave as any of the other men who fell. As to the rest there is not much to be said favorable to him. He hardly shines in history. An inherited contemporary opinion of him is revealed in, a letter which was written to a farmer editor of this j paper in JUay, iH4, oy a uneai de scendant of one of his officers, Colonel Sir Peter Halkett, when an mttempt was being made to popularize a move ment for a monument on the battle field. The letter dated from Pltflr anne, Dunfermline,' Scotland in ; part follows, being given as an item of mo mentary and more than momentary interest: . I have all my life been brought up to consider Gen. Braddock the author of the disaster which led to the death of my ancestor. Sir Peter Halkett, and his son who perished with him, to sAther with the numerous officers and man arirt war. akn aa OTlfi O.ftfl OWinOT tO his gross incapacity. I have in my possession many let ters written after the action by offl ppra who had escaped, addressed to Lady Emilia Halkett, the widow of Sir Peter, in which all the details of the march to the Monongahela and the disaster which ensued are related. It appears that a council of war was held a day or two previous to the ac tion, on, which occasion Sir Peter Hal kett, who commanded the Forty-fourth Regiment and who was one of the se nior and most experienced of the offi cers present, remonstrated with the general on the careless manner In which the advance through the ene my's country was being conducted; there being no outlying pickets at night, nor any advanced guards or scouts thrown out during the day. The other officers present approved of Sir' Peter's suggestions that ordinary pre cautions should be taken, but the gen eral flew into a rage and told Sir Pe ter that "he was an old woman," etc., which Insult to an officer already dis tinguished In the field was resented by all present. The march was accordingly resum ed In the same way, and as your ac count states, "Braddock was advane ing, unconscious of the force in his front," and "the advance guard" If there was one "under Gage did not know of the concealed ravines." Thus the general's rash conduct led to the surprise, but even then matters might have been retrieved if he had taken Sir Peter Halkett's advice to al low the men to get behind the trees and pick off the enemy which he would not allow until later on, when he consented, but then too late. The letters I have already alluded to state that such was the excitement of the troops to the position they were placed and So incensed were they against their general, that it was gen erally believed that he had been shot by his own men. I look upon the defeat of onr troops , on the Monongahela as a disgrace ; not to the officers and the men, who fought, as they always have and will, to the death but to the general who through his obstinacy and incapacity led them into the trap which cost so many valuable lives. All honor to the officers and soldier, who fell on the occasion in the performance of their duty, and had a monument been suggested to commemorate this great misfortune to our arms, I would have gladly contributed, but a. monument to Gen. Braddock is what neither I nor -any member of my family would sub scribe to as we look upon him as the destroyer of one of our most dis tinguished and revered ancestors. However, the erection of the monu ment by the people of Uniontown is praiseworthy. It establishes among us In Western Pennsylvania a' land mark which helps to visualize our be ginnings and chow us whence we In herit lifeerty. The people of our sis ter community are to be congratulated on their effort and its success.
