May 1 2 Lord Rawdon haring on the 7th inst.
reinforced by the corps under Lieut. Col.
Watson marched out with the hope of bringing
‘Get* Greene to aftion ; but that wary ofiker, ren
dered (till more so by the event of the 25th of A
pril, those to remain in a strong position, behind
Sawney Creek, from which no efforts of his Lord
(hip cpuld draw him, he rather preferring to fee
his enemy manoeuvre in his front, with all rhecon
fidence of a viflorious arfny, firm contest a point
of which former experience mull have rendered
him so very cautious.
Lord Rawdon therefore finding it impossible to
draw on an a&ion but on terms highly difadvanta
geou-, ard by afluling a position which gave the
Rebels their only feqjrity, returned to.Camdea,
having convinced Gen. Greene how futile were his
ideas of blockading that place, when obliged hj/n
----fe;f tQ seek shelter in the recesses of the country,
and even there to taunt him with daily dt-fi :nce.
Thus finding all
in a fair field-were inefFeftual* Lord Rawdon-re
moved with the King’s troops, from Cimden, in
duced thereto by approaching feiforj, when
that part of the country proves molt deftrufHve to
the soldiery ; and as it abounds neither in riches or
provisions, which are mostly the produce of this
fide the Santee, he has only relmquilhed barrenness
for fertility, and disease for health, and taken up a
position nearly impenetrable to an enemy, perfectly
in the power of co-operating with tins garrison,
and in which the communications are not weaken
ed by their extent.

friend’s house, where she had been palling a few
days, when on the road, scarce two mites from ~

Severely felt by her unprepared dill re fled mother

arises from a belief that all in the power of human
