standing firm with their regular brethren & and pushing bayonets to the last. Superior bravery was at length obliged to give way to Superior numbers, and this gallant corps compelled to retreat from the ground. They were then furiously charged by a party of British horse (their number not known) whom they completely vanquished, in so much that not more than two of the party are said to have got off. These brave men suffered greatly, having lost, as is believed, one-half of their number, and to their immortal honour made their retreat good.
* * Generals DeKalb & Rutherford are missing ; the latter is a prisoner certainly ; the former is a prisoner, and, as some accounts say, mortally wounded ; others that he is unhurt. Colonel Porterfield, an inestimable officer, is said, and we fear too truly, to be dead of his wounds. About one-third of his corps was lost. On this Defeat the yeomanry of N. Carolina imme- diately turned out unsolicited. An army is collecting which, when our last advices came away, viz., August 23d, already con- sisted of between fonr & 5,000 men.

This morning Col. Washington, with a pary of light horse, rec- onnoitring, came up with a light party of the British, on which an engagement ensned, when the Americans took a Colonel Hamilton of the North Carolina refugees, a Doctor Smith, and seven pri- vates, and it is said they had seven killed. The Americans had only one man badly wounded. This action happened within one hundred yards of the British flying army, consisting of light infantry and grenadiers, whose marching across the field to get in the rear of the Americans obliged Colonel Washing- ton to order a retreat ; otherwise their whole party would have been ent to pieces.

GEN. R. CASWELL TO GOV. A. NASH.
(Part of a letter.)
It is presumed that it may be necessary for the Generals to order the Militia in their Respective Districts to assemble at some particular Place in the District, from whence they may March in order to the Place of Genl. Rendezvous, appointed for the Respective Brigades.
Kingston may be the proper Place for the Rendezvous of the Detachments, from Edenton, Newbern & Halifax, & Campbelton for the Brigades from Wilmington, where the Latter may be joined by the former.
Digges old Field on the Creek, about six miles from & the same distance from the

RESOLUTIONS OF BOARD OF WAR.
The Board taking the same into Consideration, Resolved the Governor be advised to direct the Colonel to order a detachment from the Dobbs Regiment of Militia to apprehend the said God- win, Davis, Horn, and Zelverton, and all other of the Associa- tors who may be thought dangerous, and to require the officer commanding the detachment to Search all suspected places for the aforesaid Associators or Inlistments, and that the aforesaid detachment, while Performing the aforesaid Service, shall be Enti- tled to pay for the same.
The Governor laid before the Board a Letter from the Governor of South Carolina, Informing that a number of Persons who were formerly Inhabitants of this State, and who since the present form of Government was adopted had left the same and joined the Enemy, had been taken prisoners, and were kept confined in order to be sent to this State for Trial by the same thereof.
Resolved, That the Governor be advised to order them to be brought into this State and Confined nntil tried agreeable to Law.
The Governor informed the Board that he had not been fur- nished with returns from some of the Brigadiers, and but partial returns from others. That he could not apportion the deficiency of the 2,000 Men directed to be raised by Act of Assembly for want of the Number of Inhabitants enlisted in the several Coun- ties, and a General state of the Militia. That the Militia in Serv- ice in South Carolina would be discharged on the 10th Instant. That the Commanding Officer, as well as the Governor of that State, had repeatedly solicited the aid Granted by this to be sent on with- out delay ; And whether the Militia to be raised in Virtue of that Law were to be Commanded by Militia Officers ? The same being taken into Consideration, Resolved, that the Governor be advised to canse the said 2,000 Men to be immediately drafted out of the Militia after deducting the number of Men raised as Substitutes.

[Johnson's Traditions of the Revolution, 1780, Page 490.]
When Colonel Williams was shot (at King's Mountain) he had turned to his command and was cheering them onward. The ball, fired from the mountain heights above him, took effect just between his shoulders and ranged down ward through his body. He fell with- in a few feet of Colonel Ferguson. Both met their fate at the same moment. Colonel Williams was borne from the battle field, lived throughout the sneceeding night and died the next morning. He lies a mile or two from the field of his own and his companions' glory, without a stone to mark the spot where rests the body of " Old King's Mountain Jim," as he is familiarly spoken of to this day.
AMERICAN PRISONERS AT ST. AUGUSTINE.
[Johnson's Reminiscenses of the Revolution}.
On their arrival in St. Augustine, sixty-seven in number, with their servants, they were again offered, on their parole, permission to walk about within certain limits of the city ; and all gladly accepted the conditions except lieutenant-governor Genl. Gadsden. He positively refused all terms and conditions with the British, saying that they had deceived him once, but never should have a chance of deceiving him a second time. Mr. Thomas Ferguson, a member of the conneil, and one or two others, then spoke to the commissary of prisoners, requesting him to postpone the question 'till next day, that they might try and persuade the Gen !. to change his mind. The next day came, but there was no change in Genl. Gadsden's resolution, and he was committed to a dungeon in the castle, where he never saw the sun for ten months. His reason for this course was peenliar. He, as lieutenant-governor, was at the head of the council in Charleston during the siege, and as such had to sign the articles of capitulation, jointly with Genl. Lin- coln. One of the articles stipulated that the inhabitants should remain in the peaceable possession of their own homes until exchanged as prisoners of war.

On the 22nd of June, 1781, their exchange was effected in Charleston. On the 5th of July it was announced in St. Augus- tine, and they were first told they would be landed in Georgia, and marched through it home-wards, amidst the hostile Indians.
At this they remonstrated, and at the same time considered the means by which it might, if necessary, be forcibly resisted.
The terms of capitulation were certainly violated in sending off this portion of them to St. Augustine, and the Lieutenant Gov- ernor considered it his duty to protest against the violation in every way possible, even to his own personal suffering.
A large, unfinished building, called the State House, was assigned to the prisoners as their quarters, and a fine grove of sweet orange trees was within their enclosure. Another building, with a large garden, was hired by some of the prisoners, forming a third mess, some of whom cultivated the garden for health, rec-

reation and fresh vegetables. The rations received were as good as could be expected, where every article was imported and sub- ject to the casualties of war.
But their chief gratification was in the abundance of fine fish with which the place is supplied at very cheap rates. The water, however, was bad.
A few of the inhabitants were friendly and polite. Dr. Andrew Turnball and Mr. Edward Penmann, who both removed to Charles- ton about the close of the war, were among the most friendly, always sending to the " American gentlemen " for perusal what- ever newspapers they received by various arrivals.
Don Andondo de Arrara and Mr. Frs. Sanchez, Mr. Jesse Fish, of Anastatia Island, and Don Lucia De Herriera also occasionally sent them fruit and other presents that were very acceptable.
On the 4th of July the different messes agreed to unite and dine in common. The fare was very plain but ample. The only lux- ury was a large plum pudding in the middle of the table, with an American flag showing its stars and stripes in the centre of it. On this occasion was first sung the celebrated American hymn :
"God save the thirteen States, Thirteen United States God save them all."
It was written that morning by Capt. Heyward, of the artillery, (afterwards JudgeHey ward,) while sitting under one of the orange trees in their enclosure, and several copies of it made before din- ner.
After dinner it was sung with great animation and exultation, being the same tune with " God save the King." The American version of this hymn was soon sent among them, and they were perfectly satisfied that the Yankees were not singing " God save the King"-that they had not "changed their tune." There being two clergymen among the prisoners, arrangements were made for their meeting to nnite in offering up prayer and adoration to the giver of all good gifts to man.
The. Rev. James H. Thomson, the younger of the two, first officiated and afforded the consolations of religion to his brethren in exile.
The Rev. Mr. Lewis preached but once, and on the day after that a most peremptory order came to them from the command-
395
STATE RECORDS.
ant, forbidding such religious meetings thereafter, but offering seats to them on Sabbath days in their churches.
The prisoners could not join in prayers for King George, and " for his triumph over his enemies"; they could not unite im prayers against themselves and their countrymen ; they refused to attend any of the churches, but had private prayers in their several messes.
The commissary of prisoners, Wm. Brown, was a Scotchman by birth, an upright, honorable man, faithful to his king and to his country, but ever kind and indulgent to the prisoners under his care, as far as was consistent with his duty. Where entire satis- faction could not be afforded, he would soothe their feelings, and console them in a friendly, gentlemanly manner. He was a tall, thin, man and his features so very sharp that they could not be well forgotten. Mr. Berwick, one of the prisoners, grandfather of the late John Berwick Legare, was so struck with his looks that he carved with a pen knife the likeness of Mr. Brown for the head of his walking stick, and afterwards made it a snuff-box. The like- ness was so perfect that it was recognized by all who knew Mr. Brown, and it is still retained in Mr. Legare's family, with the tra- dition of its object and origin.
The news of Ge !. Greene's battle with Cornwallis at Guilford Court House was received while they were still prisoners, and Mr. Brown advised them to keep within their enclosures during the great rejoicings for the victory obtained by his majesty's arms.
They asked Mr. Brown whether it was not one of those victories described in the old Scotch ballad :
"They baith did fight, And baith did beat, And baith did run awa'."
Mr. Brown smiled, but said no, the official statement was received of a decided victory gained.
The Americans conformed, of course, to this well-meant advice of their commissary ; and he, to prevent, as far as possible, the prisoners from being annoyed by the drunken rioters, posted sen- tinels on the outside of their gates. One of these sentinels was a German, probably an old Swiss soldier. A party of low charac- ters assailed him and attempted to break in at the gates.
The German warned them off, and they persisting, he bayon- etted the ringleader and killed him.
396
STATE RECORDS.
The old German, on being asked how such a wound could so speedily cause death, replied, " Oh, but I gave my gun a twish," (twist,) by which the simple puncture became a widely lacerated wound.
Mr. Brown had scarcely left the prisoners, after the above con- versation, when they found that they had more canse for rejoicing than the British, at the result of this battle.
Thomas Singleton, whose descendants live a little eastward of the Santee river, was one of the prisoners. He was Virginian by birth, and having lived almost entirely in the back country, had contracted many of its peculiar sayings and doings. He had been taking a walk, and observing some persons who had recently arrived, soon singled out one of them, and, as he expressed it, had started a Virginian-he knew him by his gait-had taken his track, and treed him ; that is he followed him into a public house and entered into conversation with him.
The countryman said that the Americans, after having fought very gallantly, retreated in good order from the field, but were ready the next day to enter it again ; that the British, on the other hand, were obliged to retreat the day after, and leave their wounded as prisoners to the Americans ; and that GenI. Greene's army pur- sued them down to Wilmington. When Mr. Brown came the next day, the prisoners joked with him about the splendid victory, and asked him to join them in their rejoicing at the result of the bat- tle.
