;CHARLESTOW N, Augllft 11.
TO the Rebels we are indebted for the following ingenuous,
or rather ingenious, account of the late a&ion near
Camden.
.A " PHILADELPH lA, My 23. .
“ BY accounts from the Southward we )eafn, that after
the precipitate retreat of Lord Cornwallis from Deem-River,
General Greene, not finding it convenient for want of provisi
ons to continue the pursuit, filed off, and directed his march
to Camden, where he arrived op the 19th of April, having
before he began his march, detached Lieutenant-Colonel Lee,
with his legion, and part of the second Maryland regiment,
to join General Marion, and to invest the enemy's post of
communication upon the 'Santee.
“ Upon his arrival at Camden, finding it impradicable to
storm the town, he took such a position, about a mile distance,
as might induce the enemy to sally: On the 25th bfApril, abou|
11 o'clock in the morning, the enemy came out in force, and
were warmly opposed by the advanced piquet ; upon this out
line was immediately formed. The action soon commenced,
and as the enemy were found to advance with a small front,
Lieutenant-Colonel Ford, with the second Marylanders, was
ordered to advance and flank them on the left, and Lieute
nant-Colonel Campbell on the right, while Colonel Gunby,
with the firft Maryland regiment, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Haws, with the second Virginia regiment/ advanced and char
ged them in the front ; and at the fame time Lieutenant-Colo
nel Washington, was. ordered to turn their right flank, and
charge them in the. rear. A elofe engagement ensued, and
they began to give ground; when by an unfortunate accident
the firft Maryland regiment gotinto some disorder, which, by
a mistake of orders, : was communicated to the second.
“ The enemy taking advantage ofthis returned to the charge#
and before these regiments could be rallied and reduced to or
der, forced our artillery to retire. Our troops were rallied,
but not till it was too late to recover the fortune of the day,
which at one time promised a compleat vidory, as Colonel
Washington, upon, his coming up, found the enemy, both
horse and foot, retiring with the utmost precipitation, and took
upwards of 200 prisoners, among whom were ten or fifteen
officers, before he difeovered our people had left the ground;
more than 50 of the prisoners he brought off. Our army re
tired about two miles, without any loss of artillery, ammuni
tion or baggage, and notwithstanding this little repulse are id
high Spirits."
From the^th of lad month to the gth instant, we had
most disagreeable, sultry, dry weather. This has been followed
by a storm, the effects of which we fear will furhifh us with
, frequent opportunities of giving distressing recitals. We Shall
now present to our renders the best account of it, that the
Ihurtu'efs cfthe time will admit. :
On Thursday evening, about 7 o'clock, the wind began to
blow from the N. E. Between 8 and 9it blew frefh, accom
panied with rain., It , continued to rain and blow from the
fame quarter with increasing violence, during the whole night
and yesterday, till one o'clock, when the wind fliifted to
E. N. E. The gale continued to iricreafe till 4 o'clock P. M.
when the wind having got round to S; E. it blew a mere hur
ricane. The rain increasing at 8 o'clock, the wind began to
fall; at high water, three o'clock this morning, the storm.
abated. The wind has now got to S. S. W. but it still blows
frefh. t
The harbour afforded a Scene of the greatest distress, and
the sea ran so high as to preclude the vessels at anchor in the
stream receiving any aid from the shore. They however fa
red better in general than those lying at the wharfs. The
number of small craft and boats destroyed, is too considerable
to attempt giving any account of it; nor have we yet pro
cured ariy accurate Bate of the damage done to the Snipping*
The Thetis, a transport Ship, is funk at Gadsden's wharf, and
the Ship London, Capt. Richardson, is bilged at Eveleigh's
wharf. Several other Ships are driven affiore. Amore minute
detail will be given in our next.
To the catalogue of murders perpetrated by the Rebel
Banditti, in the Southern parts of this Province, we are war
ranted to add the following, from refpedable authority.
Early on Friday morning last week, three men, viz. William
Brown, Chatles Sanders; and a young lad, whose name our
informant did not learn, but who did not feem.to be so far
loft to humanity as the other two, came to the fequeffered
plantation called Button Hall, in Sb Paul's Pariffi, and en
quired for a Mr. Johnson, who lately arrived in'this Province,
was placed there as an overseer, and had not long before been
taken prisoner by a rebel party, and admitted to his parole.
Being informed of the room in which he lay, they immediately
forced into it; hearing the noise, he flatted out of his bed ;
Brown immediately made at him, run him through, with 1
horseman's fwgrd, and cut him in several places. Johnson
still surviving, Brown and Sanders pufbed him out of the
house, and Sanders foapped a pistol at him. After Staggering
near a hundred yards, the poor man fell down. The murder
ers immediately riding off, afforded an opportunity of fending
to Jackfonburg for a Surgeon, who came and dressed Mr.
Johnston's wounds; but every effort w as fruitlefs, and the
poor man expired next morning.
M": ' AUL Hamilton, who hath lately left this Province,
for the benefit of his health, having appointed us his attorneys
with pofave hfFusions, in writing, to call upon every person who
is in any wife indebted +5 him for the interest due on their several
obligations: We do, therefore give this publick notice to all concerned,
that unless the interest due on them respectively, is paid to either
of us the'fubferibets, on or before the 15 th of August vfli in order
to furnifh Ms. Hamilton with a remittance, we shall immediately
after that day, be under the diAgreeable ueceility of lodging thera
with an Attorney at Law tofue for both Principal and interest; with
out fin ther notice. ' NORLAND MYY OD,
