. The last lettels which we have heard of
from South-Carolina, are dated the 21st and
22d of November, from the High-Hills of
Santee. They fay, that the American army
under Gen. Greene, reinforced by a conffieg »
rable body of militia, had on the 3oth pailed
on theCongaree (lower called the Santee) to
preceed down the country towards Charlef
town, and that our gallant General would
not deeline battle upon proper terms. These
accounts give some crédit to the whispers
circulating in New-York, of a defeat of the
Britith near Charlettown, more especially as
an embarkation Ras lately taken place, of
1200 or 1500 men, though 3500 is the nums
ber publickly known of. ~ )
These letters from Carolina further fay,
th?t the Biitith had evidently gotten a panic,
and would probably, upon another check,
shat themselves up in Charleftown : that the
Jower country, till general Greene's march,
had been open -to the incursions of both ar
mies ; of ours, as far as the Quarter-House,
within 6 miles of Charleftown ; of the ene
my,for 5o miled back : that their horses were
greatly reduced and bad ; ours nusnerous and
ggod ¢ that the General had waited some
time to hear whether the French fleet were
to call at Charleftown, and what reinforce
ments were coming from Virginia ; that he
