This was absolutely necessary on the paitof Cornwall is; for if the British authori'y was to be maintained n rhe Carolinas M or gnu must be driren out or de- f ated. Tlie Brittsh make perhaps the best soldiers in the world for a regular army ; their submission to their officers is almost as blind and un questioning as (hat of a Russian serf to the Czar. In the present instance they witnessed ami as sisted in the destruction of larger portion of their baggage without a murmur. As for Swlr- •die possessed & wagon in bis intfl^iiiCK’Vight whioh was amply sufficient tor his baggage which consisted mainly of the gold and silver coin, plates etc., which he had gathered up in his stealing and marandingexpedition. Being a stuff officer,he was entitled not only fo his wagon but also to a guard f r its protection; of this privilige be without hesitation availed himself, because, ns may be readily supposed his baggage, jo at least what pasf r l under that appellation possessed a very great value. ,. Cornwallis was now prepared for the puvsuit of Morgan and he set out on his march without delay.— That offioer had by his Bcoutsbeen informed of the purpose of the Brittish commander, and resolved f possible not only to escape him self but to prevent the recapture of his prisoners, of which he had a comparatively large number.— In the the latter part of Jannry 1781, Morgan succeeded in crossing the Catuwba with all his wagons baggage and artillery. A portion of the American forces were still on the backs oi the river when 4- al military salute, informed I im L, )e had made from an ignoml- that he had discovered a ford high- 1 a J, mH death.

Corn wallis, maneuvered for severil days pn the right, bank of the river for tjie purpose of deceiving tTie American general; but Green peno- trated his design and sending his forces higher op the country, cross ed the Yadkin in the early days of February and secured all the boats on the left bank. ' The American troops were yet in sight when Cornwallis arrived on the right bank . Again he was too late for he was prevented from grossing by a sudden swell in the river from a rain that had fallen that day. Hales with his reckless darjin? id disregard of principal was even vexed than Cornwallis and exclqmed against fate say- widlis “that we have already luih'^f Lis own; and as he had previous ly met him in the Jersics he was not anxious to renew the acquart- ance. 1 nstly he could not escape jy gea since the french fleet forbid retreat : n that direction. Cornwallis was thus reduced to tiie net c.ssity of establishing him self somewhere near the coast and awaiting the arrival of assistance from Sir Henry Clinton to whom be bed written informing him of ttio dificult position in which he stood. Sir Henry on his part so for from b ing able to render aid to Cornwalli hnd been so completely deceived by Washington that he had made ft requisition on the form er for a portion of bis troopB in an- ticipa'ion "f an attack upon New Y"rk by tbe American commander. Cornwallis wr.s'bus reduced to the no ossify of s.lc ting some point n Virginia where he could defend h'mself until the threatened a“ack on Now Voik city had either been made or abandoned. Af'o taking everything into con sideration the Brittish commander selected Yorktown as being the most Btrtab'e point for his purpose and necessities, s nee Sir Henry Clintoncould send him reinforce ments if they were accompanied by the Brittish fleet in the harbor or port of New York city. Cornwallis now b'-san throwing up fortifications n.tonnd Yorktown too many homes in ashes. I hope rather with the aid of Sir Henry Clinton to capture Washington and his army and thus put an end to ihe war / As every one knows, neither of these o| er 'v»r« ever realized. CHAPTER XIX.
