Dia* Six, Wilmington, 23d April, 1781;
IT give* me great concern to undertake a talk, which U
not only a bitter renewal of my own grief, but mull be
a violent shock to an affeflionate parent.
You have for yourfupport the aflilUncc of religion; good
sense, and ah experience of the uncertainty of all human
happiness. You have sot your fatlsfadlion, that your foh
fell nobly in the cause of his country; honoured and la
mented by all his fellow soldiers ; that he led a life of ho
nour and virtue, which mull fccure to him eVertaftinr r
happiness. When the keen sensibility of the passions be
gins a little to subside these confideration* will give vou
real comfort. _ * ,
That the Almighty may give you fortitude to bear this

WILMINGTON, (North Carolina) Sept, ltj
ON Saturday the Bth inst. an expre(> arrived
here from Col. Fanning and Col, M'Ncill,
of the Loyal Militia, with an account, ghat on
Saturday the Ift inst. they marched with aoo mat
to attack a body of Rebels,- to the ahioontof
commanded by Col. Wade and three other Colo
nels, lying at Bettis’s Bridge on Drowning Creek.
The a a ion began at 11 o'clock A. M. and lasted
With (mart firing a considerable time, when tho
Rebels retreated in dßorder, and were pnrfiied til!
two o’clock in the afternoon. They left about to
killed and wounded on the spot, besides a
number wounded in the pursuit. The Loyalifif
had not a man killed, and but three or four wound
ed, and took 52 prisoners and ioo horses, besides
arms and ammunition; 28 of the prisoners were
sent to this town, the rest were paroled.

Lr.ii.ch of the Seneca, a little before Ninety-Six Was
evacuated, made an irruption about the beginning of
last month into the country betwixt the Enorce and
Saluda rivers, killed eight noted Rebels, and col
letted 60 of the loyal inhabitants, who availed
them (elves of that opportunity to get rid of the
Blejpt/gt of Independence, which have been hitely
forced upon them by their new mailers; and retir
cV^?.^'anc determined to join the loya!
inhabitants there in harrafling the Rebels, until
they are enabled by the co-operation of the King’s
troops to live peaceably at home as Britilh fubjetts.
When the tapture of the large and valuable
Frfcnch Ihip Marquis La Fayette was announced ac
Philadelphia the vifeges of the congreffianal finan
ciers were greatly lengthened I—they were not a
Ir.tle chopifalleh.
Sept. 22. When Gen. Pickeiis colledUd the
militia of hit diftritt, about a month ago, to ioiii
Gen Greene, he called only upon such of the in
habitants as were known to be friends to the Britilh
government, and were supposed to have made a
temporary fubmifflon to save their properties. A
it is well known that in attjon the firft line Os Gen.
Greene’s army is always composed of militia, the
tendency of this measure is obvious, (thd nrav fttVe
to convince Arch unfortunate Loyalist, as have sub
nutted to their government of the nature of those
buffings their new rulers have in store for them
About a fortnight ago Cape. Butler of the iriiii
tia made an excursion over Santee to Puddine
Swamp, one of the heads of B’ack River, * where
the opprelled inhabitants immediately rofc barms
and prepared to embody themselves under him s
but a negro belonging to one of the Loyalift* hav
ing given Gen. Greene notice of their intentions,
he sent a strong party among them so suddenly that
it prevented their making a junttion. Capt. Ruder
was therefore obliged to retrfcat with such of t ht
inhabitant* a* wfcre embodied, being about 30 in
number, and having crossed Santee at Murray’*
ferry got fafie to our post at Moock’s Corner.
By the latest advices from the back country we
learn, that Gen. Gitenc's array is in thit greatest
diltrefs for want of fait; that thfey fearcLveiy
houfc for that article, and When they find aay fcave
Only a single handful for the use of a family.
Sept. 25. Capt. Jephtha Williams of the militia
made *n inroad lately from the Fork* of tdifi o
into the enem> ’* country; beyond Ninety-Six. and
having received intelligence that a considerable
party of Rebel militia were embodied and patmlin*
oft Turkey Creek; a branch of Savannah river
blwt Nintry Six and Augufh, became
them on the hth inst; killed and wounded toi. and
dispersed the rest. He afterwards returned in fkfetO
without the loss a man,

•* FrOm the appearance Os affairs; and the late
defeat of Greene’s army, added to the teal and
fpint of the people in this province, we are induced
to think that wedhall have peace and trade soon
rtftored, and the Britilh government fftabliflied
among us. We mull inform yOu of foase pleating
intelligence received from the Country a few days
ago, which may be depended on, as it has been
confirmed by different expreftes: A body of oar
