We have just received advice from North Carolina, that about
three thousand five hundred of their militia are marched for
the assistance of South-Carolina and Georgia. Colonel
Walton, it is said, of the Georgia militia, was dangerously
wounded in the late action at Savannah, in which he behaved
with remarkable bravery. He, together with several of the
most respectable citizens of that state, are on board the
prison ship in the river, and treated with remarkable
severity. What a contrast between a prisoner's walking at
large, and skipping at every ball and assembly, and being
confined with the most disagreeable companions in the hold
of a prison-ship.
