Daring tbe second night of the siege, while the followers of Sevier were gathered round their watch fires, Tipton was reinforced by troops from Sullivan county. Making an unexpected sally upon the camp of Sevier, he succeeded in putting his assailants to a complete route, killing the sheriff of Washing- ton county, and making prisoners of the two sons of Sevier, whom he was only prevented from im- mediately executing by the earnest entreaties of his friends. In October, Sevier was himself arres...t- ed for high treason, and carried, first to Jonesbo- rough, and subsequently to the jail at Morgan- town, from whence, by the assistance of his sons, he escaped. Notwithstanding these excesses, the courage, patriotism and generosity of Sevier were warmly recognised. His services were remem- bered, and his faults forgotten. Being chosen the following year to represent Greene county in the senate of North Carolina, the act disqua- lifying him from holding office under the state government was repealed ; and with the renewal of his oath of allegiance, the whole dispute was Amicably closed.
