Go where he will, it seems that he must be driven by the British; wretched conduct of affairs in the south; Gen. Lincoln persuaded to shut himself up in Charles Town; the people of South Carolina are suffering no more than they deserve; movements of Cornwallis; surprise at Monk's corner; Col. Washington's escape; Beaufort [Buford] cut up; Sumpter surprised; rout at Camden; Gates's terrified flight; defeat of Ferguson and his tories; describes his own movements to escape the enemy; the design on which he came to North Carolina must be laid aside for years; the Charlotte academy is quite broken up; he has heard of the troubles at Elizabeth Town, and the awful fate of Mrs. Caldwell.
