We present our readers with a most Lril liant partisan adventure of the hetoes uf "Tt. | and we think it will be read with much in | terest. We regret to say that it has been much neglect: Vin the history of our country | We take it from Dr: Caldwell’s Memoirs vf) the Life of Gen. Greene: Kgnallys Perhaps, unknown to most of the! inha itants, and singularly neglected in the history of our country, is another gallant par | tisan adventure, achieved on the 22d of Jure, | 1780. Neither American regulars nor British | soldiers having any concern in this Spirited affair, it was fought entirely by raw militia men, of the whig and tory patties About twelve hundred of the latter having |: assembled under the command of Col. Moore, encamped in strong position at Ramsaour < Mill, a few miies westward from the Catawba river, and in the vicinity of the line which separates North from Suuth Carolina. In which of the two =tates the encampwent w.s sicuated, is not at present distinctly recoileet | ed. although the writer of this narrative ha been frequently on the spot. In addition to rapine, and the production 0! general distress, a favorite object of this par'y was to overawe and weaken the adjacent cour - try, by capturing and carrying within the British lines a number of i's most inftsential inhabitants. Besides being thus prevented | from taking a lead in the active measures of resistance, these were to be held as hostages for the good conduct and neutrality of the’: friends. To defeat the mischievous purposes of this party, and to dislodge them fiom their s' rong- hold, the most spirited of the whigs from Ire deli, a neighboring county, assembled ro the number of thee hundred men, under the com mand of Col Locke. ‘hese consisted priuci- pally of foot, but in part of a 1 corps of mounted ipfantry, armed with” riffes. pistols. and sabers, led by capt. Fails, an-othcer of peculiar gallantry and worth. This hasty levy of soldiers presented a spec- tacle eminently interesting. ‘They were fresh from their homes, their private habits unbro ken, no discipline or concert of action estab- lished among them, and all their domes:ic feelings clinging »round their Kearts. They were, in the true sense of the expres. sion, a band of frends and neighbors. being all from the sam@ settlemert, and, perfectly known to each other in private life. In the whole party there was not an individtial who had not repeatedly united with the others in Tural sports and social enjoyments.. As citi zens they were all of the same reuk, and re epecteble They were masters of the svil they had assembled to defend. Of this corps of patiiots, the military prow- ess was entirely untried; not one of them, with the exception of Capt. Falls. having ever con- fronted an enemy in the field: ei: only warlike acquirement was great expertness and ekill in the use of therifie In that qualiti- cation they had few sujeriors. Being all dressed in their eommon apparel, | they exhibited no uniformity of appearance | To remedy this, and to distinguish them from ! the tories, whu were kuown to be dressed in the same way. they fastened over the crowns, of their hats, from back to front, descending sirips of white paper, j@bou'§jtwo inches broad. Each one brought &e Irvvaruieis Rawr for Serofuis, King’s Evil, Rhen- {to the place of rendezvous his own rifle, fit: rounds of powder and ball, a week’s provision, and a light blanket. That they might be per fectly unincumbered, neither baggage wagon nor pack-horge was attached to the party. ‘Thus accoutred, eager for battle, aid pant ing for glory, without waiting for a considera- | ble foree that was assembling in Rowan, a neighboring county, under (en. Rutherford, to join them, they moved in haste aud silence towards the scene of action The second day’s march brought them | * into the immediate vicinity of their object They encamped for the night, determined to | strike and hoping to surprise the enemy in the morning. But in this they were disappointed On advancing to the attack, about break of day, they found the foe on the alert, and ready to receive them. They, therefore, resolved to | wait until it should be completely light, that the aim cf their rifles might be the more deadly. | The morning opening, disclosed to them a | prgparation for defence and resistance, much, more than they expected to find. The enemy, were posted on top of a hill covered with tim- | ber, which afforded them ashelter. Their; fianks were protected by a swamp, a =mall) stream of water flowing inthe rear. In front} of their encampment was ereeied. of stakes’! and brush wood, a breastwork se compact as to! be proof against small arms, and to impede, in | ® great meacure, the operation of cavalry. A strong detachment of the foe was stationed in advance of breastwork, armed with rifles and co: cealed behind trees. j At first, this array of nien‘and means was appalling. But the Kubicon was passed. Re- treat would be ruin, accompanied with dis- grace—battle might also be ruinous, but could not bedishonorable. Without hesitation, there tore, the latter was resolved on. Athis own request, Captain Falls, with his; mou:.ted infantry led the attack. When at the distance of abouteighty paces, he recsived the fire of the ememy’s advance. Returning this with considerable effect, he rushed. sword |- in hand, into the midst of them, thyew them into confusion, and forced them to fall back; Pressing his fortune with too much ardor, he received a ball through his breast, and he fell dead from his horse. lis party, however, undismayed by the loss | of their leader. continued the actiotiwith great | gallantry, until the foot advanced to their:up- | ¥ breastwork. Here ensued a most murderous conflict. The whigs, having so far leveled the obstruction as to, render it paseable, rushed over it; mingled wiit the enemy, and in many instances grap- pled with them mantoman. Every instrument and means of death was now resorted to. Tho bullet, the eword, the rifie-butt, and even the hatchet, with which some were provided, werq abundantly employed. Rarely, in any case; has blood been more inexorably, or by the same number of combatants, more prodigally shed. For a time the issue was doubtful. Pressed port, when the enemy was driven behind | | With a view to plunder the co: by superior numbers, the whigs were once co n- pellea to give ground, some of them retreating aerossthe breastwork. But resolutely bent on victory or death, they returned to the chargé with such fierce impetuosity and great effect as bore down all resistance. The tories broke and fled in confusion, the whigs for same distance hanging on their rear with terrible slaughter. ‘ ‘Thus terminated ‘an affair in‘which so many gallant spirits made their first, anditoomany of them, alas! their last essay in arms. In the course of it, the whigs performed prodigies, and the royalists manifested 4 degree of reso; lution and valor worthy of a bettercanse:. © | The latter lost, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, upwards of six hundred men. The prisoners and wounded were paroled, and lib) erated on the field of battle. x Tbe numerical loss of the former was_ex+ ceedingly heavy, nearly half of them being killed or wounded. But the actual loss. which consisted in the character rather than the rum- ber of those that fell, was inoajeviablg. On that fatal day, some of the choicest blood o the South was heroically offered on the altut of freedom. 5 (ee The death of Capt. Falls, in particular, was deeply lamented. “In the ranks of his coun} try he did net leave behind: him a purer pat- riot or a@ more gallant.soldier. His youth af) fu ad accom! ponied bis to attle.
