/EXTRACT from GENERAL ORDERS.
Head-Quarters, New-lVindfor, June 15, 1781.
" IT is with singular plealure the commander in
chief congratulates the army on the successes of our
arms under Major-General Greene in South Ca
rolina.
“ On the loth of May Lord Rawdon who com
manded the poll at Camden, was compelled to eva
cuate it with great precipitation and marks of di
stress, after destroying the stores and several build
ings, and leaving three officers and 58 men who
were too badly wounded to be removed. On the
nth the strong post at Orangeburg surrendered to
General Sumpter upon his making preparations to
invert: it. A Col. with several other officers and
upwards of 80 men were made prisoners. On the
12 the garrison of fort Motte, confiding of one
Captain, three Lieutenants, three Ensigns, one Ser
geant-Major, one Sergeant, eight Corporals, two
Drums and Fifers, and 165 privates surrendered
prisoners of war to Brigadiei-General Marian, who
had carried his approaches to the toot of the abha
tis. And on the 15th fort Granby surrendered by
capitulation to Col. Lee.— I he troops who compo
sed the garrison were one Lieutenant-Colonel, two
Majors, fix Captains, fix Lieutenants, three Ensigns,
one Surgeon, three Sergeant-Majors, 17 Sergeants,
nine Corporals, and 305 privates. A considerable
quantity of provision was allo captured at the seve
ral pods.
"The General has the further pleasure of inform
ing the army that the pods of Augusta and Ninety
fix were inverted by brigadier-General Pickins, and
must in all probability have fallen before this time,
as Gen. Greene had also marched his army to assist
in the reduction of them.
" I he brilliant and repeated successes which reflet
so much glory on the southern army will be attend
ed with the mole important consequences to these
States, and are a happy prelage of our being able
speedily to expel the enemy from every part of th@
continent with proper exertions.
FISH-KIL L, July 5.
The French troops, from RhodeTfland, arrived
on Tuesday last at Bedford; they make a fine ap
pearance.---Our army have moved towards Tarry
town.
A few days ago the French frigate Sieurvellante,
of 32 twelve pounders, engaged a British frigate,
of 32 eighteen pounders, off Long-Bland. After
a severe and bloody action, the British frigate ran
off.
On the 25th tilt, between the hours of 8 and 9 in
the evening, a number of armed men burst open the
door of Garret Storm, in Hopewell and immediate
ly demanded his hard calh, which not being instant
ly complied with, they put a rope about the old gen
tleman's neck, though blind, and hung him up, but
the rope breaking, he fell; when one of them took
aknife, and cut a gash in his throat, but the rope be
ing still about his neck, prevented it from being mor
tal.—They were all in trepidation and confufion,
for a Negroe, notwithstanding their vigilance, got
off, and in a few minutes called a small gaurd, which
happened to be near. The guard immediately came
to the house, when the villians instantly ran off,
taking about 141. hard calh, a silver bowl, some sil
ver spoons, and several other articles. One of our
men grappled one of them, but both falling, the vil
lain disengaged himfelf, and got off: They had four
or five horses to carry off their Booty. It is sup
posed they are some of De Lancey's thieving gang,
all of which he is training up for the halter, and
as they deserve, probably it will be their end
