Published by Order of Congress,
CHARLES THOMSON, Secretary.
Charlestown, November 24.
ABOUT three weeks since, a party of 10y.,1 militia and
Cherokee Indians, under the command of Mr. Tutt,
attacked and carried a rebel fort, on Pacolet River, called
Gowan's Fort.
.DEATH. In an advanced age, Mr. Alexander Ran
towle, of this town.
« On the evening of the 9th the enemy retired, leaving tip
ards of 70 of their wounded behind them, and hot lefa fhan
"1000 stand of arms that were picked up on the field, and
found broke and concealed in the Eutaw springs. They stove
between 20 and 30 puncheons of rum, and destroyed a great
ariety of other stores which they had not carriages to carry
a- We pursued them the moment we got intelligence of
their retiring. But they formed a junction with Major M'Ar
thur at this place, Gen. Marion and Lieut. Col. Lee not having
a force furfeient to prevent it. But on onr approach they re
tired to the neighbourhood of Charleftown. We have taken
<OO prisoners including the wounded, the enemy left behind;
fad I think they canndt have fuffered 1 fs than 600 more in kil
led and wounded. The fugitives that fled from the field of
battle spread such an ala>m that the eMemy burnt their stores
at Dorchester, and abandoned the poll at Fair Lawn, and a
great number of negroes and others were employed in falling
trees'acrofs the road for some miles without the gates of Char
leftown. Nothing but the brick house and the peculiar strength
of the position at the Eutaw saved the remains of the British
army from being all made prisoners.
“ We pursued them as far as this place, but not being able
to overtake them we fnall halt a day or two to refresh, and
then take our old position on the High Hillsol Santee. I think
myfelf principally indebted for,he victory we obtained to the
free use of the bayonet made by the Virginians and Marylan
ders, the infantry of the legion, and Capt. Kirkwood's light
infantry; and though few armies ever exhibited equal bravery
with ours in general, yet the conduct and intrepidity of these
corps were peculiarly conspicuous. Lieut. Col. Campbell fell
ashe was leading his troops to the chai ;e, apd though he fell
with diftinguilhed marks of honour, yet his loss is much to be
regretted: He was the great soldier ana the firm patriot.
" Our loss in officers is conhderably more from their value
than their number, for never did either men or officers offer
their blood more willingly in the fervfce of their country. I
cannot help acknowledging my obligations to Col. Williams
for his great activity on this and many other occasions in
forming the. army, and for his uncommon intrepidity in
leading on the Maryland troops to the charge, which exceeded
any thing I ever saw. I also feel myfeif greatly indebted to
Captains Pierce and Pendleton, Major Ilyrne and Captain
Shubrick, my Aids-de-Camp, for their activity and'good con
duct throughout the whole of theadion.
“ This dispatch will be handed to your Excellency by Capt.
Pierce, to whom I beg leave to refer you for further particu
lars. I have the honour to be, with great refpedt, your Excel
lency's molt obedient, and molt humble fervent.
