surrounded. The British and tories, panic
stricken, ran in every direction. Nineteen
British regulars and two tories were taken
prisoners; three we're killed. One captain
and subaltern were also captured. The
spoils were wagon loaded with supplies,
and one hundred and fifty prisoners released.
Marion's loss was comparatively nothing
one man killed and Captain Benson wounded
slightly on the head.
The recaptured prisoners were mostly Con-
tinentals of the Maryland line. These were
part of the men who, only a few weeks before,
had made all sorts of sport Of Marion and
his ragged men. Marion offered to take these
liberated prisoners into bis Brigade, but
strange and ungrateful as it may appear, only
two, possibly three, could be induced to join
the ranks of the man who had liberated them.

breath, attended with great depression OF

the disease liver complaint, another kidney
