By the late advices from t' /bark country,we are
informed, that M jo: V/cmf,with 160 pen of tne,
6,1 regiment, on the 9 h ihlt. came tip Gith a Mt.
Sumptiir, who bed about 400 men with him, near
Filh Dam Ford: The rebels,far fin-prized and put
to the route, and G vetal e! trimwho fle<l to the'F'>rd
were pulhcd into the river, but it unto.tunatelv hap
pened, that at the very-begins i ^ of the a&ian, Maj.
• Wemyfs was so badly wounded, that lie was obliged
to be carried to the rear. By this time the rebels
lad fled on all sides, and the Knur's t loops formed
upon the ground, but it being thought disadvanta
geous; it was revived to quit it, and Major Wemy^'s
situation not admitting ot ms removal, he was left
at a farm house in the ne^hbotr hodd. The next
morning the rebels not finding then selves pursued,
began to celled themselves, and with giest caution
appeared.cn then old ground. Mr. Sumpter having
received information where Major Wemyfs had been
left, erme to bun about twelve o'clock, and gave him
a parole. We are happy to inform the public, that
the wound Major Wemyfs has received is not dan
gerous, and he hath arrived ar the camp at Wemyfs
borou^h. Our loss upon this occasion, was 1 fer
feusand 5 rank and ffe killed; and besides the
Major, I ferjeant and 15 rank and file wounded,
the rebels fay t; ey had near twenty killed,and fifty
two wounded.
Last Saturday Lieutenant M'Leod of the royal
artillery, arrived in town from the camp at Wemyfs
borough, and brought with him the following agree
able and important intelligence:
That the Harl Cornwallis having difyatched Lieut.
Colonel Tarleton, with part of the Legion and 63d
regiment in qneft of Sumpter, that active and enter
pnzing officer. or/the 20th inff. came up,with Mr.
Surnptet's rear guard co the Enoree; they were im
mediately attacked and cut up to a .man. Colonel
Tarleton having difeoverrd Sumptet's tta&, imme
diately puriued' him wih great, sapidity, and came
up with him atß!ack Stolkson Tyger River. The
force cf the rebels confided cf one thousand me,,
beaded by Sumpter, Clarke, Lacey, and Brennan,
who were polled on advantageous ground. Ah the
force Col. Tarleton , could brinf up was, 190 ca
valry, and 90 infantry. The attacks commenced,
and notwithstanding the fojeiier numbersof the
rebels, and the advantage of the .ground, they could
ii^t withstand t,e ardent bravery cf the King's .
troops, but after feme refinance were tota ly defeat
ed and difnerfed ; their horfts, waggons, &c. are
all taken.---The laughter amongst them, which
was very great, would have been much more so, if
the night had net favoured their escape. Sumpter is
dangerouflv wounded, and it. is thought mutt long
before ths fallen into Col. ,l,r|eton's bands.
Our lot's epnfids of 50 killed and wpunded.---
Amongst the former are Lieutenants Gibson and
Cope of the 63d, and Mr. Monro of the legiou, but
neither of them dangercully. Mr. McLeod was
just upon the point cf setting .off when Colonel Tarle.
ton's dispatches to Lord Ccinwallis arrived, so, + is
probable onr rext advics from the country will
bring further particulars of this inter©: ing and for
tunate event.

The true essential Salt of Lemons,
For TAKING OUT
IRON MOULDS, %.
This Salt is infinately preferable to any other thing
whatever for taking out Iron Moulds, Ink Spots, Red
Wine, and Stains of every Kind cut of Lace, Muffin,
Lawn, Cambrick, and Linen immediately, and without
any Trouble; whitening thim to Admiration if grow. 4
yellow, and rendering them as beaatirul as when quite
new. It is also excellent for a 1 the Putp«fcs which the
Lemon itfeif is ufrd for, being nothing more than the
pate acid Part of that Fruit, reperated trom the pulp and
gruffer Substance; it make's the mul excellent Punch,
gives the true Flavour of thefineft Lemon to Jellies and
Sauces, and has the Advantage over the Fruit itfeif
in being always ready, and never fpniling in keeping;
being adapted for all Climates, and particularly conve
nient for the Country and Sea Voyages.
N. B. As some Perfonq may apprehend that this, like
many ether things used for taking out Iron Moulds,
Stains, &c. may rot the Lihen'; the Proprietor begs
leave to memtiou, that he will warrant that Salt of
Lemons will not do the leafl Injury even to the very
fianft Laces.
