Charles-Town, South-Carolina, Sept. 1.
We are favoured with the following authentic accounts of the
affair of honour which happened on the 13th ultimo --Eleven
o'clock was the hour appointed for Generals H. and G. to
meet. Accordingly--about ten minutes before eleven--but
hold--it is too good a story to be told in simple prose.
It was on Mr. Percy's land,
At Squire Rugeley's corner,
Great H and G met, sword in hand,
Upon a point of honour.
Yanky doodle, doodle-do, &c.
. . . [17 more verses of 4 lines each, each followed by a
chorus]
