The account of this tragedy which we had from one of his of- ficers, was as follows — In the winter and spring of the year 1781, Col. Greene's regiment was stationed at a place they called "Rhode Island village, " in the state of New York. There was an advanced post about ten miles on Croton river where a part of the regiment were stationed. Col. Greene and Major Flag, were with this advanced post. They were both in their tents, when attacked by the enemy ; they were at- tacked by a corps of Li...ght Horse, early in the morning, before it was light. They dragged Col. Greene from his tent, and it was supposed in consequence of his making resistance they (we can't say killed), murdered him. His body was found in the woods, about a mile distant from his tent, cut and man- gled in a most shocking manner. Major Flag was killed in his tent, most of the men also were cut and hacked in a most savage manner. Many of them were enlisted slaves, indeed, there were so many slaves in this regiment, that it was called " the black regiment.
