GARRISON ORDERS,
Charlestown, May 29th, 1781.
THE Commandant has the fulleft Sense of the Military
Exertion and Spirit evinced by Capt. Neil Campbell, of
the 84th Regiment, commanding the Troops at Motte's House,
and Lieut. M'Pherson, who had Charge of that Post, in the
Defence of it ; which, he is convinced, fell from the Necessity
of the Circumstances, and was given up but in the last Ex
treme; he therefore begs, they and the Officers and Men un
der them, will accept his warmest Thanks for their Conduct
and Firmness on the Occasion.
, C. ERASER, Town-Major.
As ah instance of the inhumanity, cruelty and barbarity of
those deluded wretches now infefting this unhappy country,
we will mention, agreeable to the information received, that
an elderly gentleman, about 70 years of age, who resided in
the interior part of this province, finding hisfituation disagree
able, thought it necessary to retire for security into the garrison
at Congarees, under the command of Major Maxwell, where
he "remained until it surrendered. When the garrison was
marched out and carried to some distance, as the old gentleman,
with another prisoner, was passing on, one of the rebel party from
behind a tree fired his piece, and killed them both. On com
plaint being made, and some investigation of the matter, it ap
peared that one Wade Hampton had, by giving some rum, procu
red the villain to commit that horrid ad, for some resentment
he bore the old gentleman.
O tempora borrenda ! —When will justice be done on such
mifereants ?
Extract of a letter from Savannah in Georgia, Map 26.
" A few hours ago, Mr. Alexander M'Lean arrived here
from Augusta. He left Col. Grierfon's fort, with dispatches,
on Thursday last, notwithstanding upwards of five hundred
Rebels make a shew of inciting both Colonel Brown and
Colonel Grierfon's posts. Mr. M'Lean favs, that on the 19th
of this month Colonel Brown made a sally on the Rebels,
killed upwards of ninety, among them five Captains, and
took upwards of eighty horses, and several prisoners—That
Captain Wyllie was arrived in the Ceded Lands, from the
Cherokee nation, with a number of Cherokee warriors; and
that our friends in both forts at Augusta were in good spirits,
and had plenty of provisions."
MARRIAGES.' Mr. William M'Leod, to Miss Mary
Alexander, daughter of Mr. William Alexander.—Mr.
Glen Drayton, to Mifs,Elisabeth Elliott, daughter
of the deceased Mr. Samuel Elliott.—Mr. John Kemmell,
to Miss Rachel Long, daughter of Mr. Felix Long.
Yesterday arrived the letter of Marque ship Eleonore, Capt.
Hamilton, in 8 weeks from England, in which came passen
gers the Hon. Major Cochrane, with his Lady. By this ihip
we have received the following advices; —Commodore John
ftone, it is thought will fail on a secret expedition, when he
has Separated from the grand fleet, and reached a certain lati
tude, whither he is bound.
The following are said to be the British regiments intended
for the Continent: the 3d, 18th, rgth, 30th, 36th, 66th; 68th,
and two regiments of dismounted dragoons ; and that the Right
Honourable the Earl of Lincoln will embark with the latter in
the rank of Brigadier-General.
Captain Hamilton failed on the 13th of March, in company
with the grand British fleet of 40 fail of the line, besides fri
gates, destined for Gibraltar; and by letters brought in the
Eleonora, we are informed, that the Compte D'Eftaing had
failed for the Westward from Brest, with a considerable arma
ment, but again meeting with an irresistible gale of wind, was
constrained to return to port, with his squadron and convoy
much injured.
Savannah, (Georgia) May 17. Several Gentlemen have
arrived here since our last by land from Pensacola, which they
left the beginning of April, at which time the Spaniards had
not been able to effed any thing of confluence towards a
reduction of that place; their army consisted of a motley
crew of about 3000 men, and was encamped three miles from
the town, where the Indians annoyed them greatly, by kil
ling the sentries and carrying off their horses; they had loft
about 300 men in different skirmishes, whilst our loss did not
exceed 20; in an attack upon the fort at the Cliffs they were
repulsed, and upwards of 150 of them killed; a vessel with
Don Galvez's baggage had been taken and carried up to the
town through the Spanish fleet, and some final! craft from
New-Orleans with provisions funk by the shot from our
batteries; the garrison were lately reinforced with 300 Choc
taw Indians ; and General Campbell with his brave army were
in the highest spirits, and nowise apprehensive of Don Gal
vez's being able to compel them to surrender.
The rebels have lately murdered several persons who have
refufed to join them. The case of such persons is extremely
hard, but if any joined them by such violence, they will
probably aft against them when it comes to the trial, or not
plead they were forced, ihould they be taken.
Last Monday night, at 12 o'clock, two armed rebel boats
from the northward, having on board 76 men, and com
manded by M'Cleur and,Howel, boarded and took possession
of the ship Britannia, Capt. Waide, lying at the mouth of
Great Ogechee river loading for the Weft-Indies. They said
they had been well informed that the Captain and all his men,
except fix, were absent from the vessel, and therefore resolved
on seizing her, going up with the tide without making use of
their oars. They had not gone to sea yesterday afternoon,
but lay within Offabaw bar with Mr. Saunders the pilot on
board, whom they had also taken in his boat on Monday last.
