BATTLE OF HANGING ROCK. fFrom the MSS. of William D. James.) After his attack upon Rock Mount, Sumter repo eed his men seven days near Landsford, on the Ca tawba; where he was joined by the whips of the Waxhaws and Captain, afterwards General Davie, with 60 cavalry. Having now about 600 men, on the nicht of the 5th August, 1(30, he moved down on the river road, towards the Hanging Rock, where lav the Prince of ales' regiment, ith a detach ment ol the 63d and nsr, amounung 10 aooui iuu infantry under Major Carden, and a bodv of tories t.

f. t- IromthC lower part Ol jsorui Carolina uuuer major IJrvan of about 900 men. On his inarch, Sumter I took care to keen out an advance, which passed I themselves as friends to the British, and took up ail strarrfflers on the road. A little before day on the mominz of the 9th, be arrived within half a mile of i Jl theenetnv. and ca ins a council oi war, maae ins dispositions for an attack upon (hem.

He labored at present under every discouragement, which would have deterred a less determined mind from taking such a resolution his force was less than one half of that of the enemy they were secured by a strong position, a stockade fort and a field piece and what was more discouraging than all the rest, he had not more than five or six rounds of ammunition to each man. In Sumter's front, the road crossed Ihe Hanging Rock Creek, run ing between lofty hills on his right, lay the British in open ground, on his left, encamped the torics on a hill side covered with trees, and between them and 'he fort ran a small stream of water through a valley covered with brush wood. Sumter's disposition of" bis firce was as follows the South Carolinians formed the right and the centre, Col. Steene commanded the right, and I.acey and Lylcs the centre the Nvrth Carjlinians under Irin i the ktt. Capt.

During; this hot lire, Sumter was heard every where along the line animating his men while Irvin called out. 44 Give it to them mv huvs rrivu il to them holler and hotter." And so'hot it that nut only the balls hut the powder and wadding sfruck upon each side. After an unusual struggle, for them, the tories rrave war.

at a forhinui rniunent and were pursued by Davie at the head or the cavalry, fsumtoi's ammunition was now expended, ami he supplied himself bv strinninr it froni ihe fallen and wounded tories. In the mean time, Capt. Mc-Culloch, at the head of 150 Urilish regulars, was advancing to aid Ihe tories. Sumter remained in the wood near to the open ground, and Steene. In return ing I rum where ho had been engaged, formed on bis icii naliK.

1 Meanwhile, Major Carden, with the remainder of ins lorce and a held piece, advanced from the fort lo rescue McCulloch Sumter retained his advanta geous position, and calling 'up McClure with his re serve, formed them as Hankers on his rijrht. This company coming fresh into action, delivered a lire which Carden, and gave a decided turn to the contest the enemy was driven back with much slaughter and while retreating through the onon ground in disorder, Davie opportunely returned and pursued tuetn to the lot t. But the action was not yet over. 1 he filing was heard early in the morning al Kocky Mount, distai. litl'cen mites, and Col.

Turn- bull sent Capt. David Kinloch with a squadron of laricton's cavalry to the assistance ol Carden: the battle continued so long, that the cavalry arrived, but not until Cardan had been defeated. Kinloch, however, made a charge upon the mililia, but with no better success than his friends, for he, in his turn, was driven back and fled towards Camden. A remnant of the enemy took refuge in the fort, and Sumter having no means of reducing it but by musketry, and the British army at Camden being distant but twenty-five miles, he thought it prudent to retire. By Sumter's account 44 Major Brian's corps as totally defeated, the Prince of Wales' regiment was exterminated, and even its name has since never been recorded.

Other detachments from tha Jd and 7lst under the command of Major Cardtm were also cut up andjdriven from their encampment with the entire loss of baggage. The action lasted the greater part of the day and the enemy lost 800 men." The loss of the Americans was undoubtedly reat, but no return has been made of it. i One instance, perhaps an extreme one, may give soaie idea of its extent. Lieut. John Brownfiehlf went into action with' his captain and 82 men, his t- only and men returned unhurt.

Captain JameiM, was through the body in the action, says Sumter, had 65 men killed. Many American faces were so blacken ed by gunpowder, as to give them the appearance of Africans, coi. ill and major Winn were severely wounded, and capt. McClure mortally. McClure died with tbe composure of a patriot, consoling himself with the justice of his cause.

Thus did Sumter cut up the enemy by detail. Under all circumstances the baltle of Hanging Rock w-as more brilliant than it has ever been represented before and in proportion to numbers was certainly the most bloody fought during the revolutionary war. The particulars of this action have never yet been published. This account has been taken from speech delivered by Gen. Sumter in Congress in the year 1799, from a diary kept by Major Joseph MeJunkin, Officer of the Day in that action, from the reminiscences ol Capt.
