Philadelphia. . . March 18. On Tuesday the fifth instant
500 men attacked the Hessian piquet guard near Brunswick,
drove them in, took eleven milch cows, two horses, and
brought off 15 or 20 loads of hay, which those mercenaries
had stacked up within their lines. After the Hessians ran,
a number of the light Horse came out, drew their swords, and
cut a few capers, but did not choose to disturb our men,
whom they saw very leisurely take away the hay.
