The former, however, haltihg it would have ar. ugly look ,to.0cline serving in such an impor t battle as this promised to be, iangod his mind, and asked for the :.assigned him--which was gen erously granted by Lafayette. The orhing'of the 28th of June was onc Sthe sultriest of the year; yet at ani } r}y hour, Lee, who was but five es fiom Monmrrouthx-whcre the rtish army had encamped that -ight--put his troops in motio. ushing rapidly on, through th< roken'and wooden country, he a: l ength'enrgen on the plain of Mon e'iuth, wlhich, like that of Marengo S -fled made on purpose for a bat V$.4!feld. forming his men into th< ,vo(ds to conceal them from the ene Rnr, he and Wayne tode forward t reconnoitro-and to ! all the ample plain below theta was dark with the no ing masse?. The stirring sound '". -n ;tunii, the steady columns of the a gr biers, moved sternly forward, '1bonets glittering its the morn. y' ssuulight, while fir as the eye ' t ;h, ftUlOtieIi the ituiRfC Z and wag.ins t' iliig the sand, and Iilling the air 't Va ne -descended ike. a torrent . ii his line of march; and s9oon the harp rattle of musketry and roar of ' inon, and heavy smoke, told tWhetrc he was pomn ing his troops to }he charge. L'ee, in the meantime, with the feet of his division, took a iicuitous march, to fill on the corps th which Wayne was cngagel, Hi lie learned that the whole ritislh army had wlieel-id about; and as lh.iryinig hack to protect the d ear. The plain then prosented a dgnificent appearance. Far away the clknd of horses and wagons wN.s seen hurrying from the field, while nieardr by, the glittering columns fell, ''ono.after another, in order of battle; t ' ".tho artilery opened like a sudden con. fbagration on the plain-the cavalhy nt dashing forward to the charge andl amid the pealing of trumpets, unroing of standards and shouts of ten; the battle commenced. But at this -moment, Lee, who had ;,, ot expected to meet a strong force, :t 'nxxd not liking to have a heavy battle Sthi'own on him, with a morass in h i rordered a ratreat; and tihe V~rave Wayne, grinding his teeth with agwas compelled to fall hack, n nd'came very near being cut off in '<the attempt. Acroes the morass, - ad over the broken country, the di. v ~ision kept retreating, with the vie, riu oun of the British in fll ~Arut. In the meantime, Washing Stoni, igniorant of the shameful retreat ~as marching up with the other i iooftearmy.

Aj ijmdae o senomn tha t emuhm iob that Lee was in full retreat, bearing down with his divided ranks, full on his own advancing ' columns. The next expression of his face at that tnoinent was dreadful--and, with a burst of indignation that startled those around him, he sprang to the saddle, and, plunging the rowels in his sted; launched like a thunder bolt away. A cloud of dust alone told where lie and his suite sped on ward---and these who looked on him then, with his usually pale face flash ed, and his blue eye emitting fire, knew that a storm was soon to burst somewhere. Ile swept in a head long gallop up to the van of the re treating army, and the moment hi white horse was seen, the brave fel lows-who hia-l not been half beaten -sent up a shout that was heard the whole length of the lines. and "Long I live Washington !" rent the air. 1 Flinging a hasty reply to Osgood, as to the reason of his retreat, who re plied with a terrible oath, "Sir, we are fleeing from a shadow !" he gal loped to the rear, and reining up his horse beside Lee, bent on him a fear ful expression, and thundering in his car, as he leaned over his saddle bow, "Sir, I desire to know what is the reason, and whence arises this disor- 1 der and confusion !" It was not the words, but the snotheted tones of passion in which they were uttered, and the manner, wohich was severe as a blow, that made this rebuke so terrble. Wheeling his steed, lie spurred up to Oswald's and Stew art's regiment, saving, "Oin you I depend to check tiai pursuit; and ri ding along the ranks, he roused their courage to the highest hitch by his I stirring apI'eials, while that glorious I shoot of " Long live Washington !" again rh nk the'3 fiel'.

In a noienat the aspect of the field was i ehihaed, the retreatilg mass halted - ollicers wetre seen hurl ying aboit t in every direction, shouts and orders . ini gilng above the roar of the eneny's t guns. The ranks opened, and under the galling) fire of the eneiny, the I steady battalions wheeled, an1 1'ram ed in spendid or-der. Washington then rode back to Leo, and pointing < to the firm fr'.n t lie hald arraye il agiainst the eaein-. exclaimed, "Will t you. sir, co niand in that place 't lie replied, "Yes." "Well, then,'' said he, "I expect von to c-hieck the enemy imneldiatey'." "Your orders t shall be oibeyed," replied the stung t coinander-''and I rill not he the first to leave the fiel." The battle t thenl opened with renewed fury. and Washii!iten hurried back to bring his awn diivision into action.

Reining up his foam-cov ered steed beside him, he exclaimed in .that lofty enthusiasta which that day saved the army, "I wil stay with you, my. clear, General, and die with you. Let us die her< rather than retreat!" Noblj said, brave Hamilton! the foremost prop of American liberty stands fast in this dreadful hour! In this critical moment, Washing ton appeared on the field, and rapid, ly formed his division in front of the enemy. Casting his eye over the battle, he saw at a glance the wholo extent of the danger, and 3trained every nerve to avert it. LHis orders flew like lightning in every direction, while full on his ecntre cane the shouting, headlong Lattalions of the enemy. Both his right and left flank were threatened ilniost simultaneously: yet, cool and ollected, ho sternly surveyed the teadily advancing columns, without ne thought of retreating. Never lid his genius shine forth with great :er splendor than at this moment. Drdering up Sterling with the wrtillery on the left and the other portion of the army to advance, te watched for an instant the efUect >f the movements. Sterling came ip on a furious gallop with his suns, and unlimbering them, poured ucl a sudden fire on the chasing ,olumins that they recoiled before it. At the same tine, the veteran Knox hurried up his heavy guns, on he right, and began to thunder on lie dense masses of the enemy-. vhile the gallant Wayne, at the lead of his chosen infautry. charged ike firo full on the centre. The tattle now raged along the whole inns, and the plain shook under the ltand the iifnpeiuosity of the A::+ cans, and the fierce fire of nour crtillery. The hotly worked hw. Bries ofE. x a1d Sterling were hee two spots of flame on either ide; while the head of Wayne's col imus, enveloped in smoke and lame. pressed steadily forward,bear. ng down everything in its passage, mild sweeping the field with shouts hat were heard above the roar of r tillery. Every step had been e.on ested with the energy of despair nd, under an oppressive heat, scores T brave fellows had fallen in death, mnsmiitten by the fhe. ''he whole English army retreat d, and took up a string position on lie ground Lee had occupied in lie morning. Almost impenetrable voods and swamps were on either ide, while there was nothing but narrow causeway in front, over vhich an army could advance to he attack. The battle now seemed >ver---for under the burning sui, and emlerature of ninety-six degrees, lie exhausted army could hardly tir. Even Washiing.tri's powerful inme was overcome by the heat and oil : e had passed through; and, as ic :-ood begi imnmed withI dust and lhe smoke of battle, andi wiped his >rowv, thle perspiration fell in streamrs onom his lhorse, which looked as it it imd been dragged through a nmddly streamn, rather than rode by a liv ng mnan. Th'le tired hero gazed onig and1( anxiously on the enemy's >ositioni, and notwithstanding its :t rength, and the heat of' thec day and lhe state of his army, dietermnined tc 0nee it. IHis strong nature had >eeni thoroughly aroused, anud the iattle lie sought thriown uniexpecd y upon him-, and well nigh lost, andit IC no0w resolved to press it home on thie foe. All around him lay the leadl, and the cry for water was Inost piteous to hiear-; while those who bore back the wvounded, were ready themselves to sink undler th< heat. The eye of Washington, how Dyer, restedl only on the English army; and ordering up two brigade~ to assail it-one on the right and th< othier on the left-he brought th< heavy guns of Knox forward t< the front. In a few niintes the~st remnenidous batteries opeed, and thi English cannon replied, till it was onie constanit peal of thunder thecr< over the hot plain, in the mean time, the buirinig sun was stoopin; to the weste'rn bill, and striving ih va.in w ith his leveu lbeamus to piere< Ihe simoke and du mst filled atmnosphierm that spread like a cloud over tln fie.

But the almost insurmountabl 1b stacles that crossed their pall so delayed their march, that nightitne on before they could icttelt their rePpective positions.

For a while, the trcad of the battallions taking up theh 'po. sitions for the night--thle heavyrutn Wing of artillery - wagons-and the moans of the wounded, piteoustrny ors for water, disturbed the calinness of the Sabbath evening-and then all was still.

I thou-at he was Tory, from the color of his coat, mfd walked on, determined to know who lie was, and was within fifteen >r tw"nty steps of the ian before ic saw me; but that instant he jump Ad up, 1 ordered him to surrender, >r I would kill him, for I did believe ie was a Tory. I know him not, ut I would take him to where he vould be known. I drove him be ore me at regular distance about mif a mile, to my father's, where he ,as known as a T1'ory. The prison ,r had a sword standing by the tree there lie sat, but lie had no other veapon of war about him.-le had n a good pair of spurs, which, no loubt, lie intended to use as soon as ic could get a horse to please him. h'lme horse that I was in search of mas found, and at hoye when I got he with the prisoner. We then ied him. I borrowed the spurs, tel ing him if lie was as innocent as he ;aid lie was, he should have them Igain.

When we get in sight. at ibranch, the pisoner reeted to ie loosed that lie might drink and wvash; and it was done. Ite was then aken over open ground, in view of a number of meni that had collected there, and I saw oiie man walk out From the rest withl a gun in his hand, L'oming briskly towards us. I told thme prisoner, 'That mani will kill you.' Ie said, 'No; I know him.' When lhe got within fifteen or tventy step~s, lie cried out, 'Clear the way,' anti pointed his guna at the I told him not to shoot-he was my prisoner; if lie hiad done1 any thing worthy of death, wve would hang lhim. ie swore that lhe would kill him, for that lie (the prisoner) ha I been at the killing~ of his~ brother and broth er-inidaw the day before.

' He was the picture of death. It was said he was related to Devil Bill Cunningham. lie was taken in, and allowed to go to his people. I must narrate a short history and final end of another Tory-a Captain Wilson, who had the command of a beat company and in good repute as a Whig, until the British had posses sion of Charleston, and South Caro lina. He then left and went to our enemy, and remained there until Cornwallis surrendered to our b.iave Washington. Ie then caine back, and was pardoned on condition that he would go to a block house or sta tion and help to guard the inhabi tants from the savage Cherokees. I was one of the guard when lie came and was received by the Captain, whose name was Carutlurs. le was cursed and abused for being a Tory, and told frequently that he ought to die. After staying about a week, lie got a furlough to go home. Not many days after Wilson left, we heard of a battle between a COm-i pany commanded by Capt. Little and a quanitity of hiidians. Little was defeated, and four of his men killed on the Georgia side. It was not long after hearing of it till we crossed the river, arid wer at the spot where these four men lay. 'We had no meanL~s of hurrying them. But a large tree had blown up by the root and made a large hole. They were put in it, and clay cut dow~n off the root with swords. We theni took the trail that the Indians went back on, and crossed T1oogaloo above thei mouth of Chiauga; and there was a small village where the Indians had some corn, which we cut down. There we found an old Iiidian trader, not able to travel; but not one Indian there. Capt. Rloqert Maxwell took the old white man that we found there up behind him and told him if he did not coinduct us straight on to the next village, lie would kill him. We hurried oni, and in going a few miles we caine to another v'illagc, which w~as somewhere near the mouth of' the creek called Long Nose.
