The following Note is taken principally from Botta.

"Amidst the general desolation, the women of Carolina exhibited an example of more than masculine fortitude. They displayed so ardent, so rare a love of country, that scarcely could there be found in ancient or modern history, an instance more worthy to excite surprise and admiration. Far from being of fended at the name of rebel ladies, they esteemed it a title of distinc tion and glory. Instead of showing themselves in assemblies, the seat

Under whom, did Clinton leave 4000 men?

Succeeding fate of S. C.? Almost the whole state appeared to be conquered.

Why were British garrisons placed in different parts of S. C.?

From what, had Clinton released the Carolinian prisoners of war? From the obligations of their parole.

Meaning of parole? A promise given by a prisoner of war, when he has leave to depart from custody, that he will return at the time appointed, unless discharged.

Why had Clinton granted them this indulgence? That he migh employ them in his own service."

What did the Carolinians say, when required to fight against their country? If we must resume arms, let us rather fight for America and our friends, than for England and strangers.

Conduct of many of these patriots? They passed clandestinely into N. C. and joined the American troops.

What noble example did many females of S. C. then exhibit? †

of joy and brilliant pleasures, they repaired on board ships, they descended into dungeons, where their husbands, children and friends were in confinement; they carried them consolations and encouragements.) 'Summon your magnanimity,' they said; yield not to the fury of tyrants; hesitate not, to prefer prísons to infamy, death to servitude. America has fixed her eyes on her beloved defenders; you will reap, doubt it not, the fruit of your sufferings; they will produce liberty, that parent of all blessings; they will shelter her forever from the assaults of the British banditti. You are the martyrs of a cause the most grateful to Heaven, and sacred for

men.' By such words, these generous women mitigated the miseries of the unhappy prisoners. They would never appear at the balls or routs, that were given by the victors; those, who consented to attend them, were instantly despised, and dropped by all the others. The moment an American officer arrived at Charleston as prisoner of war, they sought him out, and loaded him with attention and civilities. They often assembled in the most retired parts of their houses, to deplore, without restraint, the misfortunes of their country. Many of them imparted their noble spirit to their hesitating and wavering husbands; they determined them to prefer a rigorous exile to their interest and to the sweets of life. Exasperated at their constancy, the English condemned the most zealous to banishment and confiscation In bidding a last farewell to their fathers, their children, their brothers, their husbands, these heroines, far from betraying the least mark of weakness, which in men might have been excused, exhorted them to arm themselves with intrepidity. They conjured them, not to allow fortune to vanquish them, nor to suffer the love they bore their families, to render them unmindful of all they owed their country. When comprehended, soon after, in the general decree of banishment, issued against the partisans of liberty, they abandoned with the same firmness, their natal soil. A

supernatural alacrity seemed to animate them, when they accompanied their husbands into distant countries, and even when immured with them in the fetid ships, into which they were inhumanly crowded. Reduced to the most frightful indigence, they were seen to beg bread for themselves and families. Among those who were nurtured in the lap of opulence, many passed suddenly from the most delicate and the most elegant style of living, to the rudest toils, and to the humblest services. But humiliation could not triumph over their resolution and cheerfulness. Their example was a support to their companions in misfortune. To this heroism of the women of Carolina, it is principally to be imputed, that the love, and even the name of liberty, were not totally extinguished in the southern provinces. The English hence began to be sensible, that their triumph was still far from secure.— For, in every affair of public interest, the general opinion never manifests itself with more energy, than when women take part in it, with all the life of their imagination."

Not far from the same time, the most laudable and effectual exertions were made, to aid the public funds, and to reward and encourage the soldiers.
