that unhappy affair. The militia, except one North.
Carolina regiment, commanded on the cci^^n by
Col. D dsn, cf theregulate, gave way on the fid
flic, and fed with the utmoa precipitation. The
fegtih^ ahd'tie regiment just mentioned, .bravely
flood and pushed bayonets to the left. By th- de
sertion cfi.u mukia, the enemy weie able to turn
the left cf 'the Sending • troops, and to bend their
Whole force ^ ^nd them. The conflict was oofti
nate cd broody, and la fedfor fifteen minute:. Al
ter car brave uoops had retreated from the ground,
they were fiercely charged by a p&rty of Britrih
horse whom they repulsed, and, to their immortal
honor, made ^cad their retreat. General Cowell
has feat in a flty and a tygeon to attend th^ ^oun
