ignominious execution. And the cries of widowed
mothers and orphan children were heard through
out the borders of that ill-Iated State!
After our disaster at Camden, Cornwallis direct
ed his course towards Charlotte, which lay in a
defenceless condition. As the defeat of our forces
at Camden was looked upon as a total subjugation
of the South, the eouquered country was re garded
as one open to common rapine and plunder; and
consequently cowardly hands of Tories and low
bred British were infesting the country in the front
and rear of the British army, leaving desolation
and ruin in their track. These lawless bands were
scarcely interrupted in their wonted depredations,
save when occasionally sallied upon by Marion or
Polk's dauntless little bands, who were ever ener
getic in keeping the spirit of Revolution aglow in
that gloomy period. As Cornwallis advanced to
wards Charlotte these marauding bands grew more
numerous and insolent, and the helpless whig fam
ilies were entirely o en to their rapacious propen
sities. About this time Col. Davis and Gen. Jos.
(iraham were ordered to repair to Mecklenburg
and take command of such forces as could be col
lected there. They mustered together about one
hundred and fifty of the Mecklenburg yeomanry,
and stationed themselves about five miles east of
Charlotte, on the Salisbury road. Cornwallis had
advanced to within eleven miles of Charlotte and
lay encamped in the settlement of Providenee, on
the main road to Camden, on the left bank of Four
.Mile Creek. On the night of the 2fth of Sept.,
17S(. Col. Davis with a company of thirty mount
ed Riflemen took his position in the village, while
(!en. Graham occupied the post at the camp; and
on the morning of the 26th, Cornwallis resumed
his march for Charlotte. At noon, the quietness
of this little rural village, buried, as it was then,
in the lap of a dense forest, which had never been
troubled save by the occasional crack of the hunts
man rifle, or the wild tries of the lurking panther,
was now broken by the distant notes of the war
proelaiuiing bugle; and notwithstanding the ap
proaching tramp of a triumphant army, this little
handful of sturdy yeomanry were resolved to await
an honorable retreat. Each one, doubtless, was
tired in his mind at the fearless sentiments which
a short time before had been propagated on that
uot together with the cruelties that had been
j practiced on their friends, which fully nerved them
' for any danger. True, they had learned the disas
ter at Camden, they had heard of the untimely
fate of the martyred Hayne and his compatriots,
j and of the total proscription of all Rebels; yet they
stood firm and undaunted, determined to ive the
