Charlestown, September 19.
GREEABLE to promise, we are enabled from Authority
A to give the following particulars of the action on the Bth
% t between the British Forces under the command of
fotenant-Colonel Stewart, and the Rebel Army under Ge
neral Greene.
The Rebel army having been augmented by recruits for their
Continental battalions, and Militia, drawn from the difaf-
! Q parts °f North-Carolina and this Province, to upwards
f four thousand men, Gen. Greene was induced to ad of
fnfively; the reports he had of the weak date of our army,
rendered him confident of success.
' Colonel Stewart was at the Eutaws, near Neilfon's-Ferry,
when Greene's army crossed the Congaree, but the latter's
neat superiority in cavalry, and numbers of his Militia
bine mounted, gave him every advantage of concealing his
approach. Early on Saturday morning a rooting party from
the several regiments in camp was sent out, and which it was
fupnofed would be covered by a very considerable reconnoi
tering party of cavalry and infantry ordered out that morning,
which fell in with the Rebel army on its march, about seven
o'clock. The firing that then ensued, gave the firft informa
tion of the enemy's advancing.
' Our line was immediately formed, ^nd a little after eight
o'clock, the whole Rebel army was opposed to it.
Th&adion immed ately commenced with a heavy difeharge
of field pieces and musketry on both sides. The Rebel cavalry
came on with such impetuosity as to make a considerable
jmpreffion: At one time they bad got into our encampment;
but being vigorously charged, were soon repulsed and driven
into the wocds. After a severe conflict, which lasted above an
hour, the enemy gave way in every quarter, and were obliged
to relinquish the field, on which they left near three hundred
oftheir dead; their wounded, amounting to three times that
number, were chiefly carried off; two brass 6 pounders were
taken and some prisoners, among whom is Co 1 . Washington,
slightly wounded. His corps of light-horse is nearly annihilat
ed, We learn that almost every officer in it is either killed or
wounded. Cplonel Campbell of the Mountaineers, and Cap
tain Devant,who so CQnfpicuoufly diftinguifhtd himfelf in lead
ing the Forlorn Hope at the siege of Ninety-fix, were killed;
Colonel Henderson is dangercufly wounded. The number of
their officers of less note killed and wounded, is very consi
derable; especially of artillery.
The loss sustained by us is chiefly the prisoners taken in the
rooting party. Two officers and 60 privates were killed: thir
teen officers and 280 privates wounded; 50 of the latter being
the wofft cases and impracticable to remove, were left at the
Eutaws; one three pounder fell into the hands of the enemy,
by the falling back of part of our line, at the commencement
of the acti< n.
Our army remained two days on the field of battle; the
numerous wounded then incapacitating i+ from making a for
ward movement. General Greene requested a cessation of
aims, which was refufed by Col. Tewart.
The army 08 the 11th fell back to Monck's Corner, from
whence the wounded being sent to town, and the necessary
refreshments and supplies received, it is now advancing in
cued of the enemy, who in confeauence of so gallant and
compleat a repulse, have retreated with precipitation.
