Extract of a letter from Cot „ John F. Mercer,
to hit Excellency the Governor.
“ YV*ST-RtVKR, Oct. 31, 1814.
4( I must say that the nun I commanded,
with one exception behaved in a manner hon
orable to themselves, and even gratifying to
me, acting in the situation I did—and 1 must
particularise the obligations I was under to
that excellent ofiicer, Captain Franklin, with
out whose aid the men could not have been
provided for or kept together. On every oc- (
casion they discovered spirit and activity ; and
although unable to make any venous impres
sion on the enemy, who consisted offiom 3
to 400 or even 500 at different periods, yet by
filing on their pickets, and shewing them
selves on every point, they circumscribed
his marauding, and kept him close within his
posts.
“ 1 felt much at stake, and when the enemy
moved up to land on the Swamp shore this
morning, I made every exertion to have him
promptly mtt. 1 accompanied Captain Burd
tothe spot where they veie debarked and
drawn up in a line in a cornfield, protected in
front by a creek, and on their right flunk, ;
where alone they could he approached by a 1
fence. Captain Burd, after waiting lor the
infantry two hours, and seeing the enemy
\veie beginning to re-embark a mile below,
consulted me, and I gave my opinion in Lvor
vs a charge, which he immediately executed
in the handsomest style—the fire of the enemy
was received, but passed unheeded ; the feline
thrown down; and the line of the enemy in
full Uight; their men throwing down their
arms and surrendering ; when by one of those
unfortunate accidents which marr the best di
rected military movements, some one in the
rear cried “ a retreat,” and the dragoons gave
way. Captain Hurd rallied part of them,
and renewed the charge, hut the enemy had
now leisure to gain another fence, covered by
a wood, and kept up the hotestfne, separated
from tlie horse only by the fence ; and the
larger proportion of the squadron not coining
up, all the prisoners but two were lost, and
two of the dragoons, whose horses were killed
are missing ; six were wounded ; and unfor
tunately Captain Hurd, who promises to be an
ornament to the profession and his country,
was wounded by two balls in the head, and
thrown from his hotse. I hope, however, that
nothing serious will result from his wound,
It was really a brilliant charge till the moment
I had described, and every man of the enemy
would have been taken, but for the act of
some miscreant; thejnfantry came up about
an hour afterwards, but did not engage, tx
cept with their artillery ; and the enemy re
tired, having marauded but little, a few fowls
perhaps their only booty.”
