WILLIAMSBURG, October 17.
Extract of a letter from a General officer, dated Pawlin's Mill, October
4th, 1777.

On the 2d of this instant the plan laid for attacking the enemy, by
surprise, was put in execution yesterday the 3d, upon the disposition
following. We begun our march at 6o'clock the evening before, with
an intention to begin the attack at 5 next morning. Generals Sullivan's
and Wayne's divisions formed the right wing, in order to attack the
enemy’s left; Generals Green and Stephen's divisions to form the
left wing, and attack the enemy's right; General Conway's brigade to
march in front of the troops that composed the right wing, and file off to
attack the enemy's left flank; General McDougall to march in front of
the troops that composed the left wing, and to file off to attack the ene-
my's right flank; Generals Nash and Maxwell's brigades to form a
corps of reserve; Generals Smallwood and Fenner's, with the militia
from Maryland and Jersey, to attack the enemy's right wing in flank
and rear; General Armstrong's militia of Pennsylvanians to attack the
enemy on their left flank, and rear. The proper measures, previous to
this enterprise, being concerted, we marched at the time mentioned, but
having 14 miles to march, did not arrive so soon as we expected, so that
it was near 6 in the morning of the 3d before the attack became general.
The enemy's whole force was collected. We drove them two miles
with considerable loss on their side. Our loss cannot be ascertained as yet;
they have made some of our men prisoners. The loss of the enemy is
uncertain, but believe they have suffered much, as we passed great num-
bers of them slain in the field. Our army arrived here again last night,
much fatigued, having marched all night and all day without halting or
refreshing and am happy to find they have no objections to another
trial, which must take place soon. The enemy were posted at German-
town, and all their troops from Philadelphia were called up the evening
before, which makes me think they got wind of our intentions, notwith-
standing the precautions used to prevent it."

Extract of a letter from a member of Congress, dated York, Oct. 10, 1777.

"On the 4th instant, our army made a wise and well concerted attack
upon the British force, encamped at and near Germantown; the enemy
were surprised, forced, and actually beaten; we were in possession of
their camp, tents, artillery, &c. but they rallying to make a last effort,
and our right and left columns in that instant approaching each other in
their victorious progress, were, by each, mistaken for a fresh reinforcement
coming up to the enemy, and instantly began to retreat, without allowing
a possibility of being stopped. This was occasioned by a thick fog, and
such a state of air as kept down the smoke of cannon, &c. so as to pre-
vent the distinguishing of objects above 50 yards. Thus the enemy,
though beaten, kept the field, and accident deprived us of a brilliant
victory that was absolutely in our possession. Our troops however retired
in order, though with too much precipitation, and brought off their
wounded, cannon, and every thing else. Our loss in this affair is about
700 killed, wounded, and missing; that of the enemy very considerable
no doubt, as they were pushed before our army 2 miles; but this is ren-
dered more certain by an account brought from Philadelphia by a person
who can be relied on, that left the city since the battle. He says that the
enemy lost General Agnew, Colonels Abercrombie, Walcott, Byrd of
Virginia, and General De Heister's son killed, General Kniphausen
wounded in the hand, and that between 2 and 300 waggons load of
wounded were brought into the city before he left it; this is confirmed
by many Quakers who were at the yearly meeting, and who add, that
Howe had actually sent 2000 Hessians over Schuylkill, probably to secure
a retreat. He refused to let any of the inhabitants of Philadelphia see
the field of battle. On our part, General Nash is dead of his wounds,
Colonel Hendricks and Lieutenant Colonel Parker from Virginia, wound-
ed, but not mortally; two of General Sullivan's Aids mortally wounded,
Colonel Stone of Maryland wounded, not mortally. We have not yet
a particular list of the killed and wounded from the General. Last even-
ing came an account to town that Captain Barry had attacked the frigate
Delaware (lately taken from us at Philadelphia) with the brig Andrew
Doria of 14 guns and 2 gallies, and had retaken the frigate. It is fine
news if it proves true. Our army is in excellent spirits, satisfied they

can beat the enemy, and keen for another opportunity of trying; they
will probably be indulged in a few days, as our Virginia reinforcements
of 17 or 1800 have got up since the engagement."
