The army, except General Clinton's Brigade, crossed Flint creek that evening and encamped on high ground. On Friday, September loth, after' passing through another swamp, they crossed the outlet of Genesee Lake to Kanandaigua, a neat village of thirty huts, which before dark was totally destroyed. The Jersey Brigade left there at five o'clock in the morning of the next day, the main army about two hours after- ward, and, taking a westerly course, they marched fourteen miles to Hanneyaye. A fine... soldier, named Hugh McCabe, of Captain Gifford's Company, of the Third New Jersey Regiment, died here September nth, from fever and exhaustion. Here a garrison of fifty effective men, under Captain John N. Gumming, of the Sec- ond New Jersey Regiment, was left. They gave him in charge, as one journal says, of "the lame and the lazy," in all about three hundred men, with all the supernumerary baggage, some provisions, horses and cattle, and one field-piece. It was now General Sulli- van's purpose to lighten his troops and make a final quick dash into the enemy's country.
