wiuun a loot ot where they stood, they discharged their pieces and rushed to the charge. Some soldiers, having lost their bayonets, laid about them with the butend of their fire locks ; while many a sword, which, till to night, had not drank blood, become in a few minutes crimsoned enough. The English and Americans were so mingled, that they scarcely knew friends from foes ; and more feats of individual gallantry were performed in the course of this night, than many campaigns might have afforded. We lost more than 500 men, and the field of battle was dreadtul. I have frequently beheld a greater number of dead bodies in as small a compass, though these, indeed, were numerous enough ; but wounds, moie difiguring or more horrible, I certainly never witnessed. A man, shot thro the head or heart, lies as if he was in a deep slumber ; insomuch, that when you gaze upon him, you experience little else than pity. But, of these, many had met their death from bayonet wounds, sabre cuts, or heavy blows from the but ends of muskets ; and the consequence was, that not only were the wounds exceedingly frightful.
