Extract from GENERAL ORDERS, January 23d,
THE general is happy to congratulate the army on
the glorious vi&ory obtained by brigadier gene
ral Morgan, commanding the light troops and
militia, (on the 17th instant near the Cowpens) over
a superior body ofßritifh troops, commanded by colo
nel farleton; wherein tue enemy loft upwards of one
hundred killed in the field, between two and three hun
dred wounded, and above five hundred Britilh officers
and privates taken priioners, with two brass tield-pie
ces, eight hundred hand of arms, two stand of colours,
thirty- five waggons, and all their baggage, with the
loss only of ten men killed and fifty five wounded.
In consequence whereof the general is pleased to or
der a general feu de joy, which the deputy adjutant
general will dired to be performed to-morrow, at one
o'clock, as an acknowledgment of the great sense he has
of the military abilities of brigadier general Morgan,
the soldierly and intrepid conduct of his officers, the
disciplined bravery of toe light troops, and the spirited
exertions of the victorious militia, under his command.
On Monday last died, greatly and deservedly re.
gretted, Mrs. ANN WILLING, wife of Thomas
Willing, esquire, and her remains were on Wednesday
enterred in Christ Church burying ground, with the
tribute of many a tear to her memory.
With every virtue that can adorn the female charac
ter, flie pofleffed the most amiable and endearing man
ners. It is not the frail memorial, inferibed on
the fugitive page, ti at can do her justice; a more
durable monument of her virtue and her 'worth is
ereded in the hearts of her surviving friends, flamped
in such strong characters, that nothing but the
passing hand of death can ever efface them.
“ Altbo' eur success was compleat, we fought only
eight hundred men, and were opposed by upwards of
•ne thousand chosen British troops.
" Such was the inferiority of our numbers, that our
success must be attributed, under God, to the jußiCe
of our cause, and the bravery of our troops. My
wishes would induce me to mention the name of every
private centinel in the corps.
" In inftice to the bravery and good conduct of the
officers, [ have taken the liberty to inclofe you a lift
of their names, from a conviction that you will be
pleaded to introduce such characters to the world.
“ Major Giles, my aid de camp, and captain
Brooks, ailing as my brigade major, deserve and
have my thanks for their assistance and behaviour
on this occasion The Baron de Glafbuck, who oc
companies major Giles with these dispatches, served
with me as a volunteer, and behaved in such a man
ner as to merit your attention.
