The royal gazette — [Charleston] S.C., 1782-02-16 00:00:00, page 3

On Monday was sent in here by his Majesty's ship Santa
Margaretta, the brigantine Samuel, from New-London, bound
to the Chefapeak, with a cargo of rum, cyder, onions, salt
ffifli, potatoes, apples, &c.
By accounts from North- Carolina, we learn, that since the
evacuation of Wilmington, the loyal inhabitants of Cumber
land, Bla err and Anson counties have been plundered of almost
all their effects by the Rebels. The distresses of those in Cum
berland, although they had submitted, are so great, that
Colonel Armftrohg, who commands in that county, lately in
terposed in their behalf; this gave such offence to several of
his officers, who accused him of favouring tories, that a duel
ensued at Cross-Creek, between him and a Captain Fletcher
of his regimen',, wiierein the latter was killed.
Numbers of the unfortunate Loyalists were taken by Ge
neral Rutherford's militia brigade from Mecklenburg, and
were afterwards butchered in cold blood. This virtuous ruffian
used to make his men wound with their swords, every loyalist
they met with in the woods, or found at hpme. This was
called making General Rutherford's mark. To such a degree
did they plunder, that they even took the children's fnoes off
their feet. Major Smith, Capt. Symonds, and Major Graham
were Rutherford's most noted instruments of murder.
General Busier with the militia from Hilllborough, behaved
with much more humanity.
The virtuous citizens of'this state, are by no merns inferior
to General Rutherford's brigade, in zeal and activity to support
their glorious c;ufe. When a Loyalist falls into their hands,
he is in general stripped of his cloaths, elofely confined and
continually iniulted. If he is proof against this treatment, and
refufes to join them, he is told with an affectation of candour,
that they compel no man to enter into their service, and -delire
him to go to hi# friends within the British lines. After he has
proceeded a little way, a party follows him and puts him to
death. Their officers on these occasions pretend it is done
Without their knowledge, and that they will punish the mur
derers if they can be found out. Several of our friends who
have lately come to town, with passes, were obliged to travel
through the woods and avoid all roads, to prevent aflaffination.
In some places where the Loyalists conceal thcmfelves in the
f^amps, the neighbouring Rebels have gone to the houses of
thpfc people, and entreated their wives to use their interest
with their husbands and sons to come home and submit, af<
faring them that every thing that is past shall be forgot. When
they are credulous enough to believe this and Ihew themselves
openly, a party goes to their houses and murders them. In
some places the Loyalists have been obliged to dig their own
graves; in others they have been stripped naked and tied with
their arms stretched up to a tree ; a black spot was then made
Upon their breads opposite to their hearts, at which the mur
derers fired as at a mark.
Charlestown, February 20.
r,HE prize to the Grana, mentioned in our last to have just
I arrived, is the rebel privateer flhip Bellona, Capt. Manning,
of 12 guns, belonging to Portftnouth, in New-Hampshire.—
The Grana has also taken a sloop from Philadelphia, laden with
4so barrels of flour.
On Saturday arrived a flag of truce schooner from Pensacola,
last fr<M^avannah, with upwards of 40 passengers on board,
ainongsffiom are Mrs. Farmer, widow of the late Major Far
mer: the Hon. William Clifton, Esq; late Chief Judice of Wett
florida; Mr. James Farlie and Mr. John Mitchel merchants,
with their families.
His Majesty's ship Ostrich, Captain Sir jacob Wheate, Bart,
from New-York, but last from Savannah, as also his Majesty's
ship Due de Chartres, with three ttanfports under convoy
from the last mentioned port, arrived here on Sunday.
When the Ostrich left New York a report prevailed there,
that a rtflcl arrived at Philadelphia from France brought ad
vice, that the Emperor of Germany and Empress of Russia had
declared in favour of Great-Britain, and that the former had
taken the field with an army of eighty thousand men.
Same day arrived here the brig Lady Mansfield, Captain
Schaw, from Jamaica.
Capt. Schaw failed from Jamaica on the 16th of January, in
company with two frigates, and eight private veffcls, all home
ward bound. Gen. palling was on board one of the frigates.
On the 3d instant, in the Gulph, they fell in with two line of
bottle fliips, a frigate, and a Rebel privateer. The convoy im
mediately separated, and on the 7th, the Lady Mansfield was
taken by the Rebel privateer, the master of which informed
Capt. Schaw, that the two line of battle fliips were Spanish,
the frigate French, all bound from Havana for Hispaniola;
that General Galvez was on board ohe of the fliips, and had
upwards of a million sterling in foecie with him; that the Cap
tains ofthefe vessels had o'de s not to chafe any thing. After
taking what they wanted out of the Lady Mansfield, Capt.
Schaw and his crew were allowed to return on board of her,
and desired to make the beff of their way. Capt. Schaw ima
gines, that having a quantity of foecie on board, the matter
of the privateer was induced' to do this, in order to get quit
of the prisoners, of whom he appear ed to be apprehenlive.
The matter of the privateer also informed, that the Spanish
troops destined fol* the expedition against East-Florida, had
failed for South-America, to ad against the Insurgents.
A.gentleman who came paflehger in the Lady Mansfield,
was lately a prifooer in Cuba. Before he left that bland, in
telligence wa° received ofanaction in South-America, between
the Spanish forces and the Insurgents, wherein the latter were
victorious, the Spaniards lofog 300 men and all their field ar
tillery. This yidory.had given such confidence to the Insur
gents, that their numbers were daily increasing in a degree,
that the Spaniards despaired of being ever able to fiibdue them.
A few days before the Lady Mansfield left Jamaica, the
Speedy Packet arrived with the November mail from Falmouth.'
She brought accounts, that advices of the surrender of York
and Gloucester, had been received in England ; that the nation
at large, while they lamented the fate of the gallant Corn
wallis, were roofed to resentment, and determined toprofecute
the war with redoQidvigour ; that five thousand land forces
were coming out Southern Provinces; that the Empe
rourof Germany and Empress of.Ruffia had given aflurances
of their making common cause with Great-Briu% unless
France would relinquish her alliance with the North-Ameri
can Rebels, and the Dutch accede to reasonable terms of pa
cification with Great-Bfitajn; that General Murray having
bought sixty pieces of cannon to bear on the advanced works
ofthe Spaniards against Fort St. Philip's, kept up such a dread
ful cannonade as totally to demolish them, and kill great num
bers of the besiegers.
. A Captain, and four men of the Granville county militia,
having gone lately to the country, to endeavour to drive their
cattle with n the lines, were made prisoners by the enemy's
■ulitia, and afterwards killed.
In short, the barbarities of the Rebels are so enormous, that
we make no doubt the people of Enrope and the Weft-indies
will look upon the above to be the exaggeration of a heated
fancy ; but we may fafely appeal to every person in this place,
or even within the enemy's lines, who is acquainted with the
back country, if the above is not a faithful and true picture of
the behaviour of the rebel militia, since General Greene's ap
pearance in this province. * •
