LIFE OF GENERAL GREENE. 339 The British had established, at Dorchester, a strong post, containing in regulars and tories near a thousand men, besides a large amount of military stores. With a view to strike, and carry this important garrison by surprise, Greene, leaving his main army, placed himself at the head of his cavalry, supported by two hundred infantry, and advanced on it through by-ways with the utmost secrecy. But the inhabitants of the neighbouring district being mostly royalists, th...e enemy were informed of his approach; and he found them, therefore, prepar- ed for defence. A part of them had even the auda- city to sally from their lines, to try their strength with him in open combat. But they were fiercely charged, and without any loss on the part of the Americans, driven back on their works, with consid- erable slaughter.
