Br'ierick. • My plan for the winter’s campaign was to penetrate into North Carolina, leaving South Carolina in aguind ant probable attack, in my abfcnee. ° Lord Rawdon, with a conflderable body f troops, had charge of the defenfivc, an i l proceeded i bout the middle of J.iouary up®n the oflbnfive operations. I decided td march by the upper in preference to the lower roads lead ing into North Carolina, becadfe fords being frequent a h''f the forks of the rivers, my palTagrilicre could not caitiy be obiirudded ; and Gen. Greene hiving taken post oar the -Pcdee, and there- Wing few Tends In .my of thi-great rivers of this CO on try below their forks, especially in the winter, I apprehended being much delayed, if not entirely prevented, from penetrating by the latter route. I was the more induced to prefer this route, as 1 hoped in my way to he able tj dedroy or drive out of South Carolina the corps of the enemy commanded fey Gen. Morgan, which threatened our valuable didridt of Ninety /fx j and .1 hkewife hoped, by rapid marches, to be between Gen. Greene and Virginia, and by chat means force him tafight, without receiving any reinforcement'from that province j or filling of that, t > oblige him to quit North Car lina” with precipitatooftr-and- thereby encourage our friends to make good their pramriitt of i general riling to ifiift me in re (‘itabliihing his Majelly's govermnenf. 1 he unfortunate affair of the 17th ot January WaS a very unexpected and fc\'ere blow} however, peing thoroughly fenlibla that defenfive measures would be certain ruin to the affairs of Britain ir} the southern colonies, this event did not detfa- mc from preiLecaating-tbe-wigbrad-pi-tf*. f i hat l ien. Gieene.might be uncertain of my intended route as long as polhble, I had left Gen.

Inithe mean time the rains had rendered the North Ca tawba impajfable, and Gen. Morgan’s corps, t&e militia of the rebellious counties of Rowan and Mecklenburg*, under Gen. Davidson, dr the gang fcf plundefers usually under the command of Gen. Sumpter, not then recovered from his wounds, had occupied all the fords in a space of more than 40 miles upwards from the fork. L approached the river, during its height, by short marches, so a * t give the enemy equal apprthenfiooa for fev6ral fords : and, after having procured the belt informatisn in mv power J rcfolved to attempt the paflage at a private fdrd v Gh c n nightly guarded) near M’Cowan’s Ford, on the niorftinff ot the nt ot February. 5 Lieut.

Dividfpn was supposed to be polled with 500 militia, and was directed to make evetV p&lfible demonstration,, by cannonading and otherwise, of an intention to force a pafl'age there ,• and I marched ac one in the morning, yvhb the brigade ls, regiment of Bole, 23d regiment, ico cavalry, and 2 three pound ers, to tnp lord fixed i,non for the real- attempt.

However, as I knew that t*he rain t‘ eu falling would soon render the river again impaiJabie, and I bad received information the evening before that Gen Greene had arrived in Gen.
