To the honour of the troop?, from the firft ap pearance of the Rebels before Camden not a man, either loldier or militia, deserted from us, although in the course of three days after the engagement upwards of 70 of the Rebels came in to Lord Raw don, among!! which were many of Waffiington’s dragoons, with jbeJ* horses and accoutrements.
