W sBnoto'. March 231. Dear Sir:-An- occurreutce has taken place of late in this neighborhood that has astonished many. Nine triles, less or more, in a westerly direction from the town of Winsboro', near the side of the public road that leads to Kincaid's bridge over Little River to Monticello, in the field of Mrs. Ferrell, a rock, perhaps twenty yardsin circumference, was discovered by the family of Mr. [Howard Robinson from his yard on the morning of the 13th inst. d considerable distance from its former position ; or rather the appearance of a ditch. they discovered in the field which they did not expect to be there. Tue attention of the family being thus attracted, some of the members of the same went to the place. which was no great distance to ascertain the cause; and found that said rock had' been moved from its place. 1t had rubbed over a smaller rock ly ingin the ground by its'side; then ap piiretiy, as ifit had runi onits edge. cut tlie cot; wihtb ihe'oots that .,wereat utto tbh dephIft ing'fee ; and c atreie -the Mce s toihatl ie , had'dccpied - before. ' S'p t ie iter s* the. place, ho nay stai'that the declivity is butssmall, and ii: calculated to produce or to, carry ott the motion of the rock. The rock :.Must have passed along with ,onsiderable ve locity; for there is not merely a large quantity of earth thrown) our of tracki somewlat in the form of the bad: -of a diti,hut a large'quantity has peen forced before it, and is not found in the form of a heap. as might have been expected, if the motion of the rock had. been slow ; but spre.ad o:tt equally to about two feet thick n.Dss, and covering a surface of perhaps seven or eight yards long and three or four or more broad. - This circumstances, the writer considers, as it strung evidence of he rapillity of the motion of the object. The inquiry is, what was th impulsive cause. of pu tin, the rock in motinn and keeping it in motion till it pissed a dis Lance of twenty five yards, and then ap parntly. intstan-ly to stop 1 A variety of conjectures have been hazarded. Some have supposed tha, it hadl beeni siri-ct with lightning on the precedhin'g night durinig the storm oif thuntder and rait, that gave it the ijmpulse. This is not evident, as there is no mark of violence to be seen upon the rock, and the soil on the upper side of its origitnal bsd stands unmoiived to the depth, perhaps, of a foot and'a half. If lightning had given~ to it the impuitlse, tere must have been some remaining evidence, and as there is none, it is tnot likely that tho electric fluid was the im pelling cause. Others have supposed that its must have been the conseuence of an eathquake. Tfhere is no appearance how ever, of this remaitnitng to lie seen. Being astonished at what I first heard and then saw, I thought it my duty to o mke the ,r.atter public, by comnmunt atitg it to "on. It is likely however, as the occurrenice has exci'ed a considerable, degree of interest in the neighborhood. that someO indlividual w'ho may have ex itod the place more accurately than 1 have done may give you an account oure worthy of publication. Thte impressions. iowvermade upon my mind I have otmshiated to you, and they are at yordsoa-Yours respectfully. .

The commanding General was stationed in the dity, while his second in command held the castle. Their regular force was about 3,000, and they had about the same number of irregt lars.

They had barricaded a bridge to protect themselves, b'ut our artillery soon knocked away this obstacle. and gave liarney's command a chance at them. "Let slip the dogs of war, and cry havoc." In the attack on the town and castle only our small vessels, drawing not over nine feet, were available. But few shot and shills were thrown into the castle-the attack being maittly upon the town. N-me of the enemy's mi~siles struck our vessels; and Midshipman Shubrick. who was killed, was serving a battary on shore.
