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.

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. ‘■ ■ * . .

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.
