CHARLESTOWN, (South-Carolina) Nov. 5.
Extract of a letter from Silver Bluff, October 28.
" By the unwearied endeavours of Mr. Galphin,
the Indians are peaceable; a party of the headmen
of the Lower Creeks, who over-awed the rest, are
now at Mr. Galphin's cow-pen on Ogechee, and
will be here in a few days. The Spaniards lately
came from Cuba to St. Mark's, near the Apalachee
Old Fields, conferred with the Creeks, sent to each
town of the nation Spanifli pipes and tobacco, and
five kegs of rum, as tokens of friendfhip; at the
fame time charging them always to hold the Ame
ricans firmly by the hand, as they, the French and
we, were united in a triple band of friendfhip, and
would jointly revenge any injury that might be of
fered to either of the parties."
Nov. 10. Last Wednesday arrived here from
Georgia, the (loop Earl of Kilruthery, (late Capt.
Skene) mounting 12 4-pounders, and the sloop

SIR,
A General meeting of the noblemen and gentle
men of the county of Oxford, having been
advertised to be held at the Star Inn, in the city of
Oxford, on Wednesday last, to consider of a lub
fcription, I thought it my duty to attend, in older
to deliver my sentiments upon the occasion; but be
ing prevented from doing so, by finding that the
meeting was intended for thole only who would
subscribe, and that the sense of the county was not
to be taken, I fend you a copy of those sentiments,
which I should have delivered, for your publication,
that the county might know my reasons tor not luo
fcribing. I am, Sir, your very humble ierrant,
Cheltenham, July 30. ABINGDON/
Having upon a former occasion not only'objeded
to the addressing the throne with my life and fortune,
for the purpose of carrying on the wicked plot of
government that had been foi med, as well againlt
the liberties of our once fellow-fubje&s in ,meiica,
(now alas ! by such means no more our fellow-lub
jeds) as against the conibtution of this happy
country, (unhappy in its submission to such mea
sures) but did, on the contrary, unite with many
others, of the fame opinion with myfelf, in petiti
oning his Majesty to avert the evil from us; and as
the lelf-fame reafohs that then influenced my con
duct, so far from being removed, Itill exiit in re
doubled strength, [fhall, I trull, stand in need of
no apology for myfelf, in declining to give any aid
or assistance to the plan of subscription that has been
set on foot, and is now before us.
I am aware, indeed, of the general argument
" of the present necessity of union," and of the par
ticular application of that argument to me, " that 1
am opposing the efforts of this country in its own
defence;" but 1 am disturbed by neither argument,
nor am I to be moved by them.
With refped to the firft argument, the situation
in which we are, is the very description of the situ
ation in which government meant to place us. I
have heard the doctrine avowed. You will have, it
is said, a French and Spanish war, and then felf
prefervation will force us to unite. So that go
vernment having in the beginning a&ed wickedly
and unwisely, in the end the whole nation is to be
come partakers of their guilt. lliis may be good
modern policy for aught 1 know, but I am sure it is
such logic, and such morality, as the university of
Oxford will not teach, nor the county set the ex
ample of.
With refped to the second argument, " that I am
opposing the efforts of this country in its own de
fence," I fay God forbid! I would have every
nerve and sinew brought into a&ion; but it should
be firft to remove our domeflic enemies, and then to
crush our /bre/gn foes. It is not France nor Spain
I fear. They ate open enemies, and are in our
front, ft is our secret enemies, and those that
hang on our backs, that rouse my apprehensions;
enemies, by whose stratagems and machinations we
shall lose the only thing worth fighting for— the
liberties of this country.
I hare thought it necessary to fay so much upon
the present occasion, in difeharge of the duty which
I owe to my country and to myfelf. The rest I
leave to yourselves.

Sally, (late Capt. Hill) laden with salt, being 4 of
the 5 prizes taken by Col. White and 6 others, in
the night of the 30th of September last, at Savage's
Point in Ogeachie river, together with 141 Britilh

her, by the schooner Sally, (late Capt. Newcom)
from Providence for New-York, which he took on
his passage from the Ogeachie hither, and has also
brought her in fafe; the cargo consists of mehfles,
sugar and fruit, and (he had on board as palfengers,

the enemy. There were also some dilpatches on
board, from his Excellency Governor Brown to the

of the Colonel's people, were laved and fell into his
