" The next day intelligence was received, that on the !3th, Colonel Green of the Rhode Island regiment, who was doing duty on the lines of the American army, was surprised by a body of the enemy's horse, supposed to be about 150 dragoons, and that the Colonel, Major Flagg, two subalterns and 27 men were killed, and several wounded. Col. Green was a brave and intrepid officer, and his loss was much regretted. The colonel had taken post above and near to Crolon river, at a place where the river was fordable, to prevent the enemy passing up by this ford t) ravage the country. He had practiced the greatest vigilance in guarding this ford in the night time, taking off the guards after sunrise, apprehendmg that the enemy would never presume to cross the river in the day lime ; but the enemy, having learnt his mode of doing duly, on the morning of the 13th effected his overthrow, by crossing the ford soon after the guards had come off, and surrounding their quarters before they had an idea ot any enemy being near them.
