his standard, and many who, hereto
fore. had been regarded as Wings,
sought British protection. The country
was full Of tories and British. Proper
| ty was destroyed. Old men and child
rem were abused and cursed, and wo-
men insulted. Many, in dependency,
gave up the cause as hopeless. Calam-
ity after calamity fell upon the afflict-
ed country. On the 18th Of August,
General Gates, the hero Of Saratoga,
was defeated and his army routed near
Camden. Two days after, the brave
Sumter was surprised at Fishing Creek,
by Tarleton, and his command scat
tered.
Such was the general condition Of
! things in South Carolina and Georgia.
Many brave men had hidden them
selves beyond the mountains, that, like
Alfred Of old. they might emerge from
these mountain Businesses and rout the
invading foe. These voluntary exiles
received a welcome from the patriots
of Watauga and Nollichucky. There
they met Isaac Shelby and John Sc
vier. Amongst those refugees was
Colonel Clarke, Of Georgia, with about
one hundred of his OverpoWered Dut
not subdued men. These refugees told
the tales Of suffering which they had
seen III the SldleS VI IeoI6 gid dho ooo.iA
Carolina. Their stories aroused the
patriotism and stirred the spirits of the
hardy pioneers of the forest.
After the defeat Of Gates at Camden,
CORVALLIS, as had been done by his
predecessor, Clinton, proceeded at once
to establish civil government In the
upper section Of the state. The object
was to beat up the tories and loyalists
and disperse the Wings. Ferguson,
with about one thousand loyalists and
one hundred and ten regulars, had been
in the Ninety-Six District, for some
time, and portions Of his command
had been, on several occasions, badly
cut up by the Wings. Patrick Fergu-
