TUE SOUTH CAROLINA SEVEN
. .
Daring the 'struggle for independence
the American patriots tiee,liti much ha
rassed by the Tories as by the 'hired mor
ceuaries sent - by 7 despotic royalty to con
quer and: force them into submission. toa
power which ;they hated.
Soon after, the Southern forces were
placed under the command of General
Greene, the latter sent out General Mor
gan with , one thousand men to cut off,
those; Tories infesting the Western por- 1
tion of South Carolina •• ''
Scarcely tiad Morgan and his brave
band taken their march, ere Cornwallis,
the British commander became aware of
,the movement, and instantly dispatched
the blood-thirsty Colonel Tarleton in pur
suit. The indefatigable . Morgan soon
learned of this, and lie accordingly halted
and, prepared for battle. The, enemy ap
peared in snob force. Weever, that MOE ,
gin retreated as fliCes eiiiffieris:iliiile
town in the .nurthern part M: what was
then Union County, where he determined
to nice the foe at all haiards.
,
The sun of January 16th, was gting
down as-he entered th'e town; and svlose
;vat, the pursuit that the dim sliad*b of
evening had not yet; deepened into the
darker, shades of night, before; Tarleton
came up. Of course it was too late to
commence battle ; but each cocurriazuler
spent most of the night in isuing orders
to, and arranging his troops for the coo
test of the morrow. The greater portion,
of Morgatr's band consisted of the militia,
who though, brave, were comparativelyundisciplined, and of course; not likely to
long withstand the shock of a charge of
thoroughly trained troops. , 1 7 ,
To - the disposition of this part of his
command, ' therefore, General'
,Morgan
directed his particular atteetion, and en:
, deavored,, by appropriate addresses, to
[ infuse within their breasts: the Bogie
• indomitable courage tbat ossessed his
own heart. '
• Among the militia' were even persons
--,-,a father and his 14.13°n5- I r-whom' Gen
eral Morgan especially cpmplimented.

named, by theircomades, ‘iTizti LITTLE

Johu„Hillier, Sr., then some fifty years
of age, stood six feet , fivp and a half
inches, was of fine proportiodand weighed
over three lundieci pOundk.; while the'
youngest, John Hillier, Jr.,•aged twenty
two; measured six. feet- thee inches, and
weighed two kindred and fifty pounds.
The other five brothers varisli - in size and
weight between these two. In addition

were, possessed of , enortuens 'courage.

"Then, as time is pressing, move up :to'
the front,'" answered General Morgan;
gathering up his reins and riding slowly .
away: , "end remember,", he continued,-
as his Weil Pranced along, iniPatient'of
the curb, "I shall keep my eyes upon
"THE LITTLE REGIMENT !!" Good atilt!'
"fictodlniglit, General," was the: 'reply,
accompanied by theusual military salute; '
and thus they parted.
The still hours of the night passed
slowly, solemnly on, and each patriot
soldier, as he watched the twinklings of
the far aciey'stars, and listened to the
frosty wind akit moaned past, thought,
that perhaps those'self seine' ihining
worlds would; the next flight, send-down
just such twinklings on his ) own bloody
corpse ; or roughly made grave. 'The
stars, however, gradually paled away r and
then, faint grey gleams in the eastern sky
told that day was coming to light the war
demon and death angel to their work.
Presently, as the sun came •fully above
the horizon, and streamed his_ glowing
ben - ma-bier the icy hillocks-and along the
snowy, fields, , the, trumpet's; shrill note
sounded the enemy's advance, and- r the
patriot band prepared for the onset.
In front; and a little frotri - the van of
Morgan's force were John Hilliei - and'is
six-giant sons, the father himself bearing
aloft the flag, while the latter ranged
themselves three on each side of him as
a guard
"Well done, Little Reginsent !" ex
claimed the General, as - lie rode down the
line encouraging , his men to stand firm
before the foe, who were now apprOaehing.
On, came Tarleton and his merciless
butchers with that steady moluess and
_veteran determination, which:always have
such a - fatal effect upon militia. Anx
iously-Morgan-glanced upon ; his undisci-.
Alined force, which he noticed was already
beginninc , to sway from side Ito side,and
baCk and Bat even at' the critical
moment, he was unable to repress the
thrill of joy which passed through him,
as he beheld the liilliers, at a word from
their father coolly and deliberately draw
ing their long, heavy swords)
, ''Would w God I had a hundred such
Little Regiments," he said between his
closed teeth, "I would —"
The swam.° was unfinished, for, at
this instant, at a given signal, Tarletou:s
troops clapping spurs to their steeds
charged with fearful fury.
For a moment or so the militia tottered,
and su,rged, and struggled, and
• then
breaking, fled in wild confusion, thus
leaving the devoted Hailers wholly un
supported: 'Morgan expected to see the
latter swept to earth and ridden down Like
reeds before the tempest ; but even' he
did not know the Little Regiment. Quail
ing before tha forthidable giants,
ton's men swerved either to right or left
lof them, and thus threvi away their own
advantage, which the Spartan Atnericans
turned to their account. Ina voice that
was clearly h - earliabove the din of battle,
the elder Hillier, as he raised himself to
his height, shouted': • -
"Close up: lads, close npl. Our flag!
Oar flag forever!" '
Instantly he was eneircled by his sous,
whose herculean exertions actually kept
the whole feline •Of the enemy at bay.
Determined, loweier, to take the rebel
standard, -Tarleton's men raged wildly
about their intended victiini; but as use
lessly as the storm tossed ocean lashes the
beating:cliff: Men and 7 horses sank to
earth, till at last their bodies formed a
rampart, whieli : "The Little - Begi
mdbt," • - Wounded add bleeding';" fotigh
like lions. Seeing, at last,that . sabres
were useless, a British dragoon now drew
a pistol; and. leveling it at young - John
Hillier, shot him through the.breast.
"Close up, lads ! close up . l. Our,flag t
our' flag forever I" again thundered the
father, and the fearless circle was once
more serried and broken. ' I
By this time Morgan had succeeded in
bringing up his regulars, and heading
them himself, he rushed 'to the rescue of
the noble Hilliers. But, alas !, too late !
A second of .the "Little Regiment" 'fell
—then a Third, and a fourth and a fifth !
"Back.- to lack, Ned! Our .fiag for.
,ever!" loarsely cotncoanded% the elder
.Hillier, as
.he •saw his fifth son sink it
