From the PennJj'rvania Packet, Nov. 24.
Cbarkflown, Sept. 22. We now give the
public from authority a detail of the impor
tant success that has attended the loyal and
animated exertions of our freinds in North-
Carolina ; who under the conduct and guid
ance of Col. Fanning, and Col. Heftor M'
Neil, entered Hilfborotigh on the 13th inst.
after a forced march of 43 miles, attacked the
troops Rationed there, killing Col. Litterel,
and fifteen men, and taking Governor Burke
with his suit and secretary, also thirteen con
tinental officers, and between 50 and 60 pri
vates prisoners, among the officers are Cols.
Drayton, Tuarlfton, and Reid. On the re
turn of the party with the prisoners, it was
attacked by the rebel militia collected under a
Gen. Butler, to the amount of 600 men, poll
ed at Linley's mills. The Royal Militia re
ceived three fires before they were enabled to
make any opposition, when they charged
with great resolution, not the leak dismayed
by the fire of the rebels, who retired'. A
part of them rallying in a neighbouring field,
were.again charged and instantly dilperfed,
with the loss of 60 kilted and many taken
prisoners. On our fide forty were left on the
field. Such was the regularity and good or
der observed during this spirited action, that
not a single prisoner escaped.
Col. M'Niel, who fell in the firfl onset, is
molt deservedly regretted ; his activity, con
fpicucus zeal, and forwardnefs on every oc
casion, merit the warmest acknowledgement.
Colonel Fanning was wounded in the af
fair, but not so much as to prevent his con
tinuing in the command of his brave com
panions.
This gallant party met with no other oppo
sition in the route from thence to Raft's
swamp, where it arrived with two hundred
prisoners, about the 20th, after a march of
300 miles, Major Craig joined them on the
23d inst, with troops from Wilmington.
The Highlanders behaved on this occasion,
as during the whole march, with their usual
intrepidity. The lofalifts were daily joined
by numbers of their fellow fufferers, in fach a
manner as to render, at this inflant, their
force very formidable, , and from which the
most important and decisive consciences
may be cxpe&ed.
Yesterday evening arrived here the ihip Ad
venture, Capt. Eves, from Kingston, Jamai
ca, after a passage of 22 days.—The evening
before, the fell in with two rebel privateer
fehooners, off the bar, one of 12, the other
of 14 guns, who on coming up, received a
broaohde, which seemed to cool them so much
that after firing a few shot, they were very
fodukrious in making all fail they could to
get efr One man was killed, and two
slightly wounded on board the Adventure,
Left Tuefdav General Greene, with all his
continental infantry, and feme militia, was
encamped on Capt. James's plantation, at the
High Hips of Santee. Mr. John Rutledge,
and his suit were then at Guidnard's houf:, in
that neighbourhood.
The three months truce being expired
which the loyal inhabitants of Little fydee
had made with the enemy immediately after
the troops were withdrawn from Georgetown,
we are informed a body of their militia have
made an inroad into the rebel country on
Great Fedee ; and that a few days ago, Major
Horry with a party of Marion's brigade, was
detached from Laneau's ferry on Santee, to
stop their progress.
The rebels above Ninety-fix having con
ftrufled two block-houses on Reedy river,
where they had taken post with 30 men under
Capt. Ridgeway, to check the incuifions of
the loyal refugees from the mountains, were
on the sth inst. attacked by a detachment of
Capt. William Cunningham's party, when
after a short refinance they were obliged to
fubmit,with the loss of Capt. Ridgeway, ano
ther officer, whose name is not known, and
eight privates killed. On this occasion the
loyalists did not lose a man.
Several prisoners were brought to town last
Saturday night, and committed to the Provost.
It is laid they were taken upon Lower Santee,
by a party of loyal militia, amongst them are
some gentlemen of characters notorious for
their zealous attachment to the cause of rebel
lion.
October 6. We learn from the country, that
Capt. Hezekiah Williams, with a party of
loyal militia, lately attacked and totally rout
ed a body of rebels, under the command of
Mr Le Roy Hammond, in the neighbourhood
of Ninety-Six.
Mr. Rutledge, we are informed, has order
ed the planters in the upper parts of the pro
vince, to deliver into him or his agents, all
their indigo, for which they are to be allowed
three frillings fcrling a pound, in certificates
that will be received in payment of taxes.
It was confidently said, that a considerable
quantity has been extorted in this manner
from the inhabitants ; and that it is to be
transported in waggons to the Northward.
Our freinds in North-Carolina will no doubt
attend to this.
October 10. Yeflerday his Majesty's Ihip
Solebay, returned from a cruize.
Same day arrived off cur bar from New-
York, his Majesty's Blips Santa Monica,
Capt. John Linzee, and La Fortune, Captain
