Greene oo April 25, 1781, with lis army hvldiug in check Lord Rawdoe, the British general, who waa ahat np io the town 9t Camden. The large flat top pine under Which Qco. Greene's tent was pitched is still standing immediately on the edge of tbe road, and commands n view into the towo itself. About a quarter, of a mile or Urn from thi? point, , under the crest ofn steep hill, breaks out one of the finest springs, we aay it ad visedly, one of the finest springs of wa ter iu the world. Itwasuttliia spring that Greene's men wets washing their ulothes ; an operation, as Col. Lee tells us, that hud long been delayed und was much needed. Rawdon advanced upon our led flank, which Grceno considered completely covered by the thick swomp made by the wuters of the Hprmcas they flowed for some hull tnilo before joining the crock ; the two together forming, as wuP'irdpposcd, an impenetrable harrier. Theburprisc was complete , in Col. LeeV on words, "We wore absoibed iu thes?' employments (cooking and washing,) the period was very propitious for the enemy's object; hi* advance was never dieeovctud uot 1 bis van f 11 upon our pickets." AndfoG n Greene, a gnlluot man and a good soldier, with some of the vory b*4t>regiments in Washington's army, confident of his ntrength, sat nt Ills tent door that pleasant Apnl day, more tliun a bundled years ago, looking dowa the big roud, exporting wo presume to see and hear Lord Ruwdon'a trumpet with terms of surrender ; it was ten o' clock in the day, too; it was not to be expected. But llawdon took the soldier's rules, to supprise your enemy, strike him where he I n t expectsyor, a d that, of oourae, is where he is strongest. He had but nine hundred men to Greene's twelve or fifleen hundred. ; We had n great grandfather who was an offioer in Tarleton'a logionary infantry, so take quite an iuterest in what waa going on ; we do not'ntlnd telling this at thia late day, as we bad n grandfather 'on the other aide, whe wm with flaw Kershaw's body Mrvatr, tod til, whan we knew liito, Col. Cha.?nut's carriage driver, ha* told us that ho went out *?f Camden with llnwdon's army, with the host Whig intentions we presume, but which would fot prevent hit which evor side might win. and that th^y were to orowi two branches before they made the attack, so as to get into Green's rear, but utado the mifttuko of oonsider* ine a small branch head, that rather made ?>ttt of the main creek than iatoit, aa one of those landmarks in the topo graphy of the march, when It wa? not to nave been so held ; and so turned to the left and marohed up the right after crossing the spring branch sixty years after a dense thicket, as we well remem ber, for wc built a house upon the very rpot where llawdon crossed the branch and turned the hend ?<f his column to the led to fall upon Greene, who, sitting in his tcntMlo^r a qnnrter of a mile of^ was looking for hiin down the big road. IT WAS A BOLD 8TROKB, and Rawdou chanced it heavily. If Oreeno had heard hit hpproach in timo to form his line and begin h? movement oven, Rawdon would have been lost?the grocuid was in Qroeoc's fiivor, down hill. Ruwdon hud n swamp on either flank and h deep creek behind him?but that "if" was in his favor ; as Col. Lee has ?aid, "his advance was not dinoovered until hia van fell upon-tho piokets." The1 two in frrmt commanded by Capt. Ben son, of Maryland, and Capt Morgan, of Virginia, reoeivod him hnndj?omely (but tho pickets must tavo been very near (he main body; this the ground shows) and rotiring in order disputed bravely every iuoh of ground, supported by Kirkwood with the ramains of the Del aware regiment, enoainped almost in or* der of battle. While the fight with the picket* uiid Kirkwood's Delaware* wu going on, Green established hit* line of buttle. Thus tho steadiness of Oreobo's troope euahlo him, in spite of the sup pri<?, to ohook tho British advanoo. Just then debarred ono of those unfortunate tokos that htippen to the bust tfuops and bravest men. In the words of Col. l>ee, ' In this flattering moment the ve torau regiment of Ounny, having first joinud in the fire in violation of order*, paused, its right falling back. Gunby unfortunately directed the disordered btfftolioo to rully by retiring to its' right company. At this the British giving a shout pressed forward with redoubioa ar dor. and the rogimout of Qunby, oousid ered as (he bulwark of tho array, uever reoovered. Williams, with Qunbv. as suited by Lieut ,-0ol. Howard, who hud no often nod so gloriously borne down with this very regiment all opposition, vainly exerted themselves to bring it to ariler.' Not the menaces of the otte, the expostulation of the other, nor theaxhor* Utioun of the third, nor the recollection* of it* pristine fame, oould raiea its cow ering spirit." We do not mesa to wea ry with a special description of the fight, which is familiar to all reader* of Revo lutionary history, and have only done this niuoh to lunrouod our locality with who associ itions that belong to it.

As a oousf^uasee, we find in a copy of the " now before us: "Junk 30, 1817. willing lo dispose acre each, the peipyiul uae or the aprfng oa the south mi4o of 'Mortimei's spring'bnoeh. kJoHM KlMHAV." ?rshaW, Esq., the gentleman whose owie is to the above advertise meet, (he wan the father of Gen.

As schoolboys we always thought that Kirk Wood was killed ou that occasion, and then and there hia gallant spirit hsd tsfcsn its flight. It wonld hare been more poetical, but unfortunately we find in after reading that it was not true. H's fate was, indeed, a hard one. Tho regiment of Deluwarcs, the only one famished by thut State, dinned with the Marylaud linv hh tho very beet of tfco Gentenui:tl troops. This regiment lost ull Of its field officers at tho buttle of Cumdun, (Gates'a defeat,) and was al most annihilated, being reduced to two companies, ooinmanded by Kirkwood as the oldest captain; but he fought it through the war with most distinguish ed courage at Guilford Courthouse, tiutaw Springs, flobkirk, aud, iudood, whcrooTer else bravo men and good sol diers were needed we fiud "Kirkwood and hie Dolawaree." It it had boea in the tough old d^yi pf ohivulry, rude as they may aoem to ua now, fair and high born women would have buckled on hie ?pun of gold, and kings hove called him oommde. But mark the sequel. The liue of Delewt>re, consisting of but one fagiaient. and that feduood toacap a'n'a ooinoiand, Kirk wood, never oould le promoted in regular routine. Those are words of "Light Horse Ilarry Lee." Tho sequel is singularly hard ; Ilirk wood retired upon pcaoe as cuptoin, and when the am.v under St. Clair was raised to defend the West from the In dtaos, this vetoran resumed his sword as the eldest oaptain of tho oldoet regi ment. In the doeisiv* defeat of the 4th of November the gallant Kitkwood fell, bravely sustaiuiug hia point of the aetion. it was the thirty.third timo he had risked hia life for hia country, snd ho died as he had lived.

Some years ego*, but after its embellishment tt so happened that it was the writer's duty to show Mr. Bnucruft, the historian, over this battlefield. He was going over the Hsvolutiouary battlefields of the South with a view to their description. We were rather proud of exhibiting this tub auow-pukOK or the vp-cou.ttrt to one of the aoltd men of Boston, and watched him curiously as he stood, note book in hand, conjuring to the miud's ??yea all the features of a heady fight rbe rcd.couts in Iront pushing through the denae thicket, their bayoneta glan cing in the gmun leaves, driving bctorc them Morgan of Virginia, and Benson of Msrylund, with their pickets, back upon the reserve.
