Marjoribanks still held his ground, with his entire battalion, in the thick woods which skirted Eutaw Creek, and so well covered was he that, in an attempt to penetrate with his cavalry, Col. Washington became entangled in the thicket, and fell into the hands of the enemy, while his men suffered severely from their fire, and his troop was routed.
Ole colored gentlemun he's been hurtid, an' sent me atter you." It did not take half a minute to lock the door and we proceeded down-stairs together. "He's down yere on Eutaw Street," continued my informant. "Dey's fightin' all 'long dere I come nigh gittin' hit myself he gimme ten cents to come tell yer maybe he's done dade now," he added, cheerfully, as we gained the street, and began to walk.
WM. A. COURTENAY, Mayor and historian of Charleston, who wrote to me: "The W. L. I. was named for George Washington. Wm. Washington was not until April, 1827, on the presentation of the Eutaw flag to the corps by his widow." However, the memory of the lesser Washington is still kept alive, and the William Washington house is still one of the show places of my native city.
Scarcity in the camp Refusal of supplies by the Hudson's Bay Company Conduct of the Indians A hungry retreat John Day's River The Blue Mountains Salmon fishing on Snake River Messengers from the Crow country Bear River Valley immense migration of buffalo Danger of buffalo hunting A wounded Indian Eutaw Indians A "surround" of antelopes.
I know not that a victory would produce an equal pressure on the enemy; but I am certain of what is of greater consequence, it would be accompanied by more salutary effects to ourselves. The memory of Saratoga, Princeton, and Eutaw is immortal. It is there you will find the country's boast and pride, the inexhaustible source of great and heroic sentiments. But what will history say of restriction?
At last on the 8th of September he fought an obstinate battle at Eutaw Springs, in which both sides claimed the victory. The facts were that he drove the British from their first position, but they rallied upon a second position from which he failed to drive them. Here, however, as always after one of Greene's battles, it was the enemy who retreated and he who pursued. His strategy never failed.
The troops of Stewart were drawn up in one line at about two hundred yards west of the Eutaw Springs; the Buffs on the right, Cruger's corps in the centre, and the 63d and 64th on the left.
Colonel Cheesebrough was civil enough; but, in his turn, professed himself unable to deal with my case, and referred it to the General. Cæsar was not less dilatory than Felix. In the midst of this, rather an absurd incident occurred. General Schenck's headquarters are at the Eutaw House.
With Fort McHenry on his shoulders and Baltimore in his breeches-pocket, and the weight of a military department loading down his social safety-valves, I thought it a great deal for an officer in his trying position to select so very obliging and affable an aid as the gentleman who relieved him of the burden of attending to strangers. We left the Eutaw House, to take the cars for Frederick.
Pausing involuntarily to look, I caught stray scraps of additional information. "Twenty-five people killed." "As many as that?" "Oh, yes; fully, I should say. The Sixth fired right into the crowd, all along from Gay to Eutaw Street." "Well, I hear the Sixth are pretty well cleaned out by this time, so it's tit for tat." Then "The Fifth must be there now "
