Charlestown, July 2TU
thefc some weeks past, both the secret and avowed
Ti.,erents of rebellion, have been indulging themselves in
Imoft' n S u ' ne expectations; and by industriously propage
'", the inofl exaggerated reports of the numbers, discipline
"a Drointment of Greene's army, particularly of Lee's caval
induced many of their credulous unhappy country
to f"' er v e from their allegiance, and thereby involve
taifelves in misery and want.
"while thefc gentlemen have been so indefat ; gable in decei
; ^themfelves and others, far other ideas were entertained
^thofe who composed the mighty host, which was to acccm
% these great atchievements. There distrust, difeontent and
Fftrefs, very generally prevail. Desertion among the Militia
universal, and very frequent among the Continentals.
Ihis morning fourteen of the latter, who left Greene at
ihomfon's, came int ° town ™ ith th " r arms - ¥
It is reported that Peter Horry and Wade Hampton, both
Colonels in the Rebel horse, were killed a few days since in a
firmifh near Monk's Corner.
We are informed, that an officer and seventeen men, who
landed from a Rebel pickaioon in Ogeechie River, were
fill made prisoners.
We are assured from refpeftable authority, that General
Greene, during the fiegc of Ninety-fix, loft upwards of one
hundred Continentals and three hundred militia, killed and
