nd yet, in return for their exertions, they were treated with derision and even beaten by insolent British officers. After a march of fifteen days, the army encamped at Winnsborough, an intermediate station between Camden and Ninety-Six. All the while Marion had been on the alert. hundred tories had been sent in September to sur- Sept. prise him; and with but fifty-three men he first surprised a part of his pursuers, and then drove the main body to flight. At Black Mingo, on the twenty-eighth, he made a 28. successful attack on a guard of sixty militia, and took prisoners those who were under its escort. The Brit- Chap. XVI.} 1780.

sult. Virginia and the whole south confided in his capacity. On the eighteenth, committing his wounded to the 18. tender mercies of the Americans, Cornwallis, with the Chap. XXIII} 1781 March 18. wreck of his victorious but ruined army, began his flight; and, as he hurried on, distributed by proclamation news of his victory, offers of pardon to repentant rebels, and promises of protection to the loyal. He was pursued by Greene, who was now eager for battle. On the morning of the twenty-eighth, the 28. Americans arrived at Ramsay's Mills, on Deep river; but Cornwallis had just a few hours before crossed the river on a temporary bridge. No longer in danger of being overtaken, he moved by way of Cross creek, now Lafayette, towards Wilmington. His rapid march through a country thinly inhabited left no tracks which the quickening of spring did not cover over, except where houses had been burned and settlements broken up. But it taught the loyalists of North Carolina that they c

Greene moved to the south of the town; but, finding that he had been misled, his army, on the twentyfourth, took a well-chosen position on Hobkirk's hill. The eminence was covered with wood, and flanked on the left by an impassable swamp. The ground towards Camden, which was a mile and a half distant, was protected by a forest and thick shrubbery. On the twenty-eighth, the men, having been under 28. arms from daylight, were dismissed to receive provisions and prepare their morning repast. The horses were unsaddled and feeding; Greene was at breakfast. By keeping close to the swamp, Rawdon, with about nine hundred men, gained the left of the Americans, in some measure by surprise, After viewing the British works about Camden, I set out for Charlotte. On my way, two miles from town, I examined the ground on which General Greene and Lord Rawdon ha

s, he wrote: Spain has taken four years to consider whether she Chap. XXVII.} 1782. April 23. should treat with us or not. Give her forty, and let us in the mean time mind our own business. On the twenty-third, shortly after the return of Oswald to London, the cabinet on his report agreed to send him again to Franklin to acquaint him of their readiness to treat for a general peace, and at Paris, conceding American independence, but otherwise maintaining the treaties of 1763. On the twenty-eighth, Shelburne, who was in earnest, gave 28. to his agent the verbal instruction: If America is independent, she must be so of the whole world, with no ostensible, tacit, or secret connection with France. Canada could not be ceded. It was reasonable to expect a free trade, unencumbered with duties, to every part of America. All debts due to British subjects were to be secure, and the loyalists to be restored to a full enjoyment of their rights and privileges. As a compensation for the r
