By the time the destruction o Clinton could be accomplished, it was expec ted that the insurgent army would be greatly strengthened, and amount perhaps to severa thousands. A precipitous march was then te be made to the county of Claiborne, along the skirts Of Warren, and the whole country upon the river bank was to be ravased ant inundated with the blood of men, women, ane children. &
