HEROIC ACTION.

The British on their retreat from Bladens,
burg left twenty-five men. who were not able
to keep pace with the main army, short
distance in the rear. Col. Cross Of Prince
George county, observing their isolated situ-
alton, hastily collected aboat ii of the neigh
boring militia and when he came up with
the enemy ordered his men to fire and kill
every damned rascal OF the struggling band.
The British being panic struck with this or
der and the firmness with which it was ut.
tered laid down their arms, but as Col Cross
and his brave comrades advanced to seize
them, they were hastily resumed, and level
ed with an intention to fire. This did not
intimidate DOR men, but on the contrary gave
an impetus to their movements--They bold
ly pushed forward, when the enemy again
laid down their arms. This had scarcely
been done before they again took them up
Conduct such as this so provoked col. Cross,
that he ordered his small but determined
party to charge bayoDet aHd give the id
rnscals no quarters. They accordingly adj
vanced with a steadness and compo.
| sure, which cvinced their resolution to die
or conquer and when in the act of charging,
the enemy again threw down their arms and
begged Justify for mercy. This was granted,
| and they were all made prisoners of war
Col Cross then conducted them to his house,
and entertained them at his hospitable board.
| They afterwards told him they would have
| surrendered when he ordered them first to
be attacked, but from his fierce and threat
ening looks they expected nothing short of
death. In this small affair ID raw militia,
| captured % OF Weilington's choice troops
well armed and equipped. II our militia
would generally act in this manner we should

plupderers.
