Gen. Greene's , Retreat through the
Carolinas;
ItY J. T. 1111111LEY
To understand the ground over which this
remarkable retreat was performed, it is only
necessary to' glance at a, map. Three large
rivers rise in the north west parts of ,South
and North Carolina, at d flow in a south-eas—
terly direBtion into the Atlantic's' The lower
or more southern one, its the Catawba, Which
empties tino the Santee. The next, north of
it, and nearly parallel, ii the' Yadkin, empty-,
•ing.into the Pedee. TI e last ; and more north
ern, is the Dan, which ll'con leavesits south
easterly direction, and winds backwards and
forwards across the Vir k inia line, and finally
falls into the Roanoke. Greene was now on
the Catawba,' or ri:ost southern liter, and di
rected his steps north, his:'.4pe of progress
cutting the Yadkin and Dam ~ To place a d:yep

up to their waist. The cavalry went [dung-,

of them, both horses and riders, downward in
the - darkness. The head of the column bad
already reached the centre of the river, when
the voices of the sentinels rung through - he
darkness, and the next moment their guns
flashed through the storm. The /4erictins,
400 'in number, immediately poured in a de
struct:ire volley, but the British troops press;
ed steadily forward. i Soldier ofter; . soldier
rolled over in the flood, and Cornwalys'horse
was shot under him; but the noble animal,
with a desperate effort, carried his 'rider to
the bank beforp i he fell. The intrepid troops
at length reatired the 'shore, and routed the
militia, r Cornii•allis was now , on the' same
side of the river withthe antagonist, and pre:-
pared to folloW up his advantage with vigor. -
But the:latterno sooner heard that the enemy
had passed the Catawba, than he ordered the
retreat to the Yadkiti. • Through the drench
ing i•ain and deep mud, scarcely halting to eat
or rest, the ragged troops dragged their weary
,•way, and on the, third day reached the river
and commenced crossing. In the meantime,
:the recent rains had swollen this river also,
so that by the time Greene had safely °fleeted
the passage, the current was foaming On a
level with the banks. He urged every thing
forward with the utmost speed, and at mid
night, jrst as the last of the'rear guard were
mnbarking, they were saluted with a volley
fOnt the adiancing guard of -the B;itish.—
When the morning light broke over the scene,
there lay the two armies within sightiof each
other, and the blessed Yadkin surging and
roaring in threatening accents between, as if
on purpose 4o }]aunt the invaders from its bo
som. Stung ilto madness at this second es
cape ofAheir 'enemy, the English lined their
shore with artillery,land opened a fierce can-
nonade on the American camp,l
my, protected by an elevate.
' quietly and safely behind it. In a-little 464
in, just showing- its roof above the rocks,
Greene took up his quarters, and while his
troops were reposing, commenced writing his
despatches., The enemy 4ispectng the
American General lad established himself
1 .
there, directed his artillery upon . sk nd soon
the rocks rung with the balls that moked
and bounded from their 'side. It was not
long beforethe roof of the cabin was struck,
and the aid glen and clapboards began to fly
L
about in every - direction—but the stern war
rior within never once looked up, and wrote
on as ca, mly as if in hie peaceful home.
Fou'r das the Brtish General tarried on
the shores of the l'adkiiNtand then, as the
waters subsided, again put his army in mo
tion' Moving lower down thelriver, he cross
ed over and started anew after his adversary.
But the latter, ever vigilant, was already on
his march for Guilford, w1a. , .r0 he resolved to
make a stand, and strike this' j bold Briton
to the heart. The English army was nearly
double that of his ow„n, and all well-tried,Ais
ciplined soldiers, and he knew it would be
madness to give battle on such disadvanta
geous terms. Theo was,was, therefore, no rem-'
edy but to retreat, and this nov had) become a
litlicult matter. In the Ithpe of being able to I
sustain' himself at Guilford, (. le ,had suflbredi
his enemy to approaCh so nea and block him
in so effectually, that there wt but-one possi
ble way of escape. Cornwallis is at last deem- i
ed his prey seclite.
On the 10th 4 February this .battle of ma- 1 1
nceuvres again commenced, fund the two ar- i
mien, now only twenty-live miles apart,i
stretched forward. Cornwallis suppoied his
adversary would make ,for the upper fords of
the Dan, as l there was nothing but ferries be
low,
and hence put•his army in 'such a posi
lion that he could crush him at once; but
Greene quietly withdrew towards the lower
Dan, where he ordered boats, to he congrega
ted, in which le could transport his troops
over. His obje l et in this was twofold: first,f
to place a deep instead of a fordable river be
tween him and his formidable adversary: and ,
bOCOndly, to be in a situation to effect a junt-;
with the reinforcements he expected front Vir
ginia. Discovering, at once the error under i
which Cornwallis labored, he added Wit by
sending a largd detachment to maninuvre" in
-front, as if the uppeffords were indeed the
object of his efforts. Colonel r \Villiams cont
mantled this clinsen body of men, and marci-
ed boldly agaiat the4tire British army.--

prised of his error, began the
earnest. - But that gallant rea'
llama' kept between the , two
retreating, but still present—ever bending
like a bow of wroth on the athiancing enemy.
The fate 'of the American army rested on its
firmness and skill, and evoryOhicer in it seem
ed to feel the immense 4rust c l ominitted to his
care. There were Lee's gallant legion, and
Washing,ton's heavy mounted, desperate
Itorsem&n, heroes ,every one. [Vigilant, unti
ring, brave, they hovered with such a threat
ening aspect around the adviincing columns I
that they • were compelled to' march in close
order to prevent an attack. The least negli
gence, or oversight, and the. Iblow would fall
like lightning. Never did the rear guard be
have more gallantly. The men 'were allowed
only three hours sleep out of twenty-four, and
but one meal a day. By starting and pushing
forward three hours before daylight they were
enabled to get a breakfast, ind this was the
last repast till next morning. Yet" the brave
fellows bore all without a mtimur; and nigh
after night, and day after (laY presenting the
same determined front to thelenetny. Corn
, wallis,' believing for a while that he had the
whole American force in front, rejoiced in its
proximity, knowing that when it reached the
river it must perish—then Virginia would lie
'open to his victorious arms, and the whole
South be prostrate. But when he at, length
discovered his mistake, he strained forward
with desperate efforts.
•
in the meanwhile, that fleeing army pre
sented a most heart rending spectacle. Half
clad, and many of them barefoot, with only
one blanket for every four. men, they toiled
through the mire, or left heir blood on the
frozen ground—pressing on through the win-.
try storm and cold winds in the desperate
struggle for life: At night when they
snatched a feW moments•repose, three solders
would stretch themselves on the damp ground
under one blanket, and the fourth kept watch
and happy were those who hid even this scan
ty covering. 'Over hills, through forests,
across streams, they , held their anxious way,
drenched by the rains, and chilled by the
water through which they waded—and, un
protected and uncovered, wore compelled to'
dry their clothes by the heat of their own bod
ies. Greene saw their diaries with. bitter
grief, but it could not be helped—his cheer
ing ;Words and bright - example were all he
could give them. 'Now hurrying along his
exhausted columns, and now anxiously listen
ing to hear the sound of the eripmy:s guns in
the distance, be became a prey to`ttle'tnost
wasting anxiety. From the time be had set
out for the camp of Morgan, on,the banks of
the Catawba, he had not 'taken

At len th the main army irrived within
forty miles of the ferry boats which were to

and hope quickened every st T 4 An night
long they swept onward thro igh the gloom,
cheered by the thought that an ther day would
place the object for which hey struggled
within their grasp. On that same cold and
slippery night the noble retl -guard slowly
retreating, suddenly saw, at twelve o'clock)
watchlirek blazing in the di tanee l There
then lay - the army, for which- hey had strug
gled so nobly and suirered so much; overta
ken at last, and sure to fall.' ifq this fearful
crisis, that gallant band paurd and held a
short consultation; and thenl resolved, with
one accord, to-throw themselves in an over-'
st.ielming charge on the English army, and
roling it back on itself, by a sacrifice us - great
as it vas glorious, secure a fetiiinore hours
of safety to those they were protectingi.' This
noble devotion was spared such a trial; the
fire's were indeed those kindldi by Greene's
soldiers, but the tired columns had departed,''
and staggering froin want of ,repose and food,
were now stretching forward through the mid
night; miles in the distance. Cornwallis.,
when he arrived at the smouldering camp
I
fires, )elieved himzelfalmost up with Greene
and al owing his troopi but a few moments
repose, marched all night long. In the
morning his van was clove upon the roar of
that firm guard. Now Came. the• last, prodi
gious pflirt of the British commander—that
rear gliftrd must fall, and with it, Greene, or
all labor and sacrifice would be in vain. On
the hallks of the Dan he had resoved to bury
the .k.iierican tinny, and if human effort arid
I •
human energy eolill effect it A.
, it L•liould be_
done. I His steady columns closed more
threateningly and rapidly on the guard, push
ing it fiercely before them, and scorning all
er prize. Still - Lee's - Intrepid 'legion, and
Washington's fearless horsemen, hung black
and iVrathful around their path, striving des
perately, but in vain,,,to'check , their rapid ad
vance. On; on, like,racers approaching the
goal, they slept over the open country, 4.1‹ ,
ing ever thing before them. •
But at nom a single horseman was seen
coming in a swift gallop up the road, aAg
which Greene had lately passed. Emery eye
watched him as he approached; and as he
rein vd his panting steed up beside the officer
of that exhausted, but still resolute band, and
exclaimed, "The army is

The main portion of the guard was now
dispatched by the shortest route to the ferry,
while Lee Still hovered with his legion, in
front of 'Cornwallis. As the former ap
proached the river, they saw Greene, wan and
haggard; standing on the shore, and gazing
anxiously up the'roail by which they were ex
pected to appear. Ilis army was °ter, but
he remained behind to learn the fate of that
noble guard, and if necessary, to fly to its re-,
lief. His eye lighted with exultation ) as he,
saw the column rush onward to eke river
with shouts Which were echoed in deafening
accents from to opposite shore. It was now
dark, and t mops crowded with utmost the
dispatch into the boat's and hastened. over.=
Scarcely were they safely landed, before the
banks shook beneath the hurried heavy tramp
of Lee's legion, as it crone thundering on
towards the ferry. .The next Motrient the•
shore rung with the clattor (Sermon as those

boats ready to receive them. The, horses
were pushed into the' water after them, and
the black mass disappeared in the gloom. In
