General Morgan's Account Of the Battle Of
Cowpens.
CAMP NEAR CANE CREEK,
January 18th, 1881.

DEAR S1R:-The troops l have the
honor to command have gained Il COM
plete victory over detachment from the
British army commanded by lieut.-Col.
carleton. The action happened on the
18th inst. about sunrise, at place called
the Cowpens, near Pacolet river.
On the 14th, having received certain
information that the British army were
in motion, and that their movements
clearly indicated their intention of dis.
iodging us, abandoned my encamp-
ments at Grindall's Ford, and on the
10th, in the evening, took possession ofa
post about seven miles from the Chero-
kee Ford on Broad river. My former
position subjected me at once to the
operations of Lord CORVALLIS and Col.
Tareton, aud in case of q defeat, my
retreat might easily have been cut off.
Ny situation at the Cowpens enabled me
to improve any advantages might gain,
and to provide better for my own secu-
rity, should / be unfortunate. These
reasons induced me to take this post,
Notwithstanding it had the appearance
of q retreat. On the evening ofthe 10th
the enemy occupied the ground we re-
moved from in the morning. An hour
before daylight, one of my scouts in
formed me that they had advanced within
five miles of our camp. On this lnfor-
nation, the necessary dispositions were
made; and from the alacrity of the
troops, we were soon prepared to receive
them.
The light infantry, commanded by
Lieut.. Col. Howard, and the Virginia
militia, under Major Triplett, were
formed on q rising ground. The third
regiment Outrageous, consisting of eighty
men under the command of Lieut..Col.
Washington, were so posted in their rear
as not to be injured by the enemy's fire
and yet be able to charge the enemy,
should an occasion offer. The volunteers
from North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, under the command Of Colonel
Pickens, were posted to guard the aanks.
Major Mcdowell, of the North Carolina
volunteers, was posted on the right flank,
in front of the line one hundred and fifty
yards, and Major Cunningham, of the
Georgia volunteers, on the left, at the
same distance in front. Colonels Branner
and Thomas, of the South Carolinians, on
the right of Major Mcdowell, and Col.
Hays and Mccall, of the same corps,
on the left Of Major Cunningham. Cap.
tains Tate and Buchanan with the
Augusta riAemem were to support the
right of the line. The enemy drew up
IN one line four hundred yardsin front Of
our advanced corps. The 1st battalion
of the list regiment was opposed to our
right; the 7th regiment to our left; the
iegion infantry to our centre, and two light
companies, one hundred men each, on the
aanks. In their front moved on two
field pieces, and Lieut.. Col. Tarleton
with two hundred and eighty cavalry,

wHs posted in the rear of his line. Tie
disposition being thus made, small par
ties of riAemen were detached to skir.
mish with the enemy, on which their
whole line advanced with the greatest
impetuosity. shouting as they advanced.
Majors Mcdowell and Cunningham
gave them heavy fire and retreated to the
regiments intended for their support.
The whole of Colonel Pickens's command
then kept up fire by regiments, retreat.
ing agreeably to their orders. When the
enemy advanced to our line, they received
a we'll directed and incessant FIRE; but
their numbers being superior to ours,
they gained our flanks, which obliged us
to change our position. We retreated in
good order about fifty PAGES, formed, ad-
vanced on the enemy and gave them
brisk fire, which threw them into disor-
der. Lieut.. Col. Howard observing this
gave orders for the line to charge bayo.
nets, which was done with such address
thatthe enemy fed with the utmost pre-.
cipitation. Lieut.. Col. Washington dis
covering that the cavalry we're cut
ting down our riAemen on the left,
charged them with such frmness as OBJ
liged them to retire in confusion. Tho
enemy were entirely routed, and the
pursuit continued for upwards of twenty
miles.
Our loss is very inconsiderable, not
having more than twelve killed and sixty
wounded. The enemy's loss was ten
commissioned officers killed, and up.
wards of one hundred rank and file;
two hundred wounded twenty.nine COM
missioned officers and more than five
hundred privates, prisoners, which fell
into our hands, with two field pieces, two
standards, eight hundred muskets, one
travelling forge, thirty-five wagons, sew
enty negroes, and upwards of one hun
dred dragoon horses, aud all their music.
They destroyed most of their baggage,
which was immense. Although our sue.
cess was complete, we fought only eight
hundred men, and were opposed BY
upwards of one thousand chosen British
troops.
Such was the inferiority of our mum.
bers, that our success must be attributed
10 the justice of our cause and the
gallautry of our troops. My wishes
would induce me to name every sentinel
in the corps. In justice to the bravery
and good conduct of the officers, ! have
taken the liberty to enclose you list Of
their names, from conviction that you
will be pleased to introduce such charac-
ters to the world.
Major Giles, my aid-de.camp, and
Captain Brookes, my brigade major,
deserve and have my thanks for their
assistance and behavior on this occasion.
The Baron de GlaebeUt, who accompa'
MES Major Giles with these dispatches,
served with me as volunteer, and be-
haved so as to merit your attention.
l am, dear Sir,
Your obedient servant,
DANIEL MORGAN.

Thirteen Indian mothers in Alaska
confessed to missionary that they had

the misery which they themselves suf-
fered, and which is the lot of all women

Four thousand seven hundred i'm
migrants arrived at Castle Garden, New
York, Thursday, May 5th. At the close
of business the recording clerk, who has
to listen to each name and guess at its
spelling, said he felt as though he had
copied the directories of half dozen
German towns.

of Havay lost child and COW in rapid

list, who advised him to battle the evil
spirits by burning the first woman who
should enter his house on the following
dav. He went home, lighted his fire,
and prepared q warm reception for the
expected visitor. She happened to be a
neighhor, who brought him a message
from Maubenge. He invited her in, and
ordered his wife to close all the doors
and windows. Then he stirred up bis
big fire aud proceeded to broil his visitor.
The police arrived in time to prevent her
from being cooked.
During the seven days ending Fri
day. May 6, seven steamers arrived at
New Orleans from the West, with thirty.
nine barges in tow. These fleets brought
LAOS, $50 bushels of corn and wheat in
bulk-an average of $4,000 bushels OF
over 900 tons for each barge. In ad.
dition to this quantity of grain they also
brought over 5000 tons of sack grain
-four, oil cake and other merchandise
The New Orleans papers are, naturally
enough, delighted with this exhibit, and
regard it as only the beginning of an
immense grain trade for that city, made
possible BY the success of the Eads jet
ties, by which steamships drawing TWEEN
ty.seven feet of water can come up to
New Orleans to load.

Twenty thousand carloads of freight
are detained on the tracks in and near
Chicago in consequence of the strike of
the railroad hands. Large quantities of
grain are spelling from danpness, and
the consequent reduction in value
amounts in some cases to fully Sl00 per
car. The stock yards are full to over
flowing, and cattle arriving have to be
kept in the cars on the track, with no
conveniences for feeding or watering
them.
