'' Capt. Jephtha Williams of the Militia, made an inroad
lately from the Forks of Edifto, into the enemy's country,
beyond Ninety-fix., and having received intelligence, that a
confider@ble party of Rebel Militia were embodied and pa
troling on Turkey Creek, a branch of Savannah Riyer, betwixt
Ninety-fix and Augusta, he came up with them on the 6th
instant, killed and wounded ten, and difperled the rest. lie
afterwards returned in fatety, without the loss of a man.
When the firft news of the late action reached the Back
Country, it was reported and believed, that the King's troop?
were entirely defeated. Upoft this occasion, Col. Richard
Hampton of the Rebel Militia at the Congarees, conveyed
some copies of a Proclamation among the inhabitants of the
Ridge, Orangeburgh and the adjacent country,^ graciously
promising a full and free pardon for all them treasonable part
offences against the United States, provided they would lay
down their arms, and afterwards take an active part, in what
he calls the caufc of the' country ; and as a further proof of
his benevolent intentions, he gave assurances, that such of them
as were found unworthy to be admitted to the privileges re
ferred for their virtuous community, Should be allowed a
reasonable time, and paffports'to convey themselves within the
British lines.—lt L almost unnecessary to add, that this pro
clamation was treated with the contempt it merited.
This afternoon a fire broke out in Fenwicke's buildings
on White-Point, which consumed the fame ; but was happily
prevented Spreading any farther.

"when' General Pickens collected the Militia of his diftrnft,
.a month ago, to join General Greene, he called only
' b °n fiich of the inhabitants as were known to be friends to
tßritifh Government, and were supposed to have made a
Horary submission to save their properties. As it is well
that in action the firft line of General Greene's army
composed of Militia, the tendency of this measure
'nhviou% and may serve to convince such unfortunate loy
"lifts as have submitted to their government, of the nature
blefo^s their new Rulers have in store for them.
Ata^a fortnight ago, Capt. Butler of the Militia, made
n excursion over Santee to Pudding Swamp, one of the heads
f Black River, where the oppressed inhabitants immediately
rose in arms, and prepared to embody themselves under him ;
a negro belonging to one .of the loyalists having given Ge
n^al Greene notice of their intentions, he sent a strong party
tong them so suddenly, that it prevented them from making
a junction. Captain Butler was therefore obliged to retreat
with such of the inhabitants as were embodied, being about
thirty in number, and having creffed Santee at Murray's ferry,
cot Safe to our post at Monck'^Corner.
° Bythe latest advices from the Back Country, we learn, that
Cemal Greene's army is in the greatest distress for want of
