{"value"=>"Sends a report by Thomas Sillivant, sergeant of a guard who will convey eight prisoners taken a few days since; five were taken at a camp on the Canoche, with several stolen horses and three negroes; hopes they will not make their escape; Smith was one of Brown's Rangers; has stationed, by Gen. Lincoln's order, 25 men at Sunbury; the rest are on patrol duty, and collecting the few cattle that are left; several villains are lurking in the swamps only waiting for the results of the Savannah campaign; in a postscript thinks many of them would come in if they received encouragement."}
