{"value"=>"Has heard nothing since Maj. Meade went to Congress; Mr. Lovel has told him that Congress has agreed that he may return; thanks Meade for his good offices in effecting this; in the beginning of May he had tried to execute a plan for crossing the Savannah near Augusta and marching down the country, leaving Gen. Moultrie with 1000 men and the force he might collect to stop the progress of the enemy towards Charleston; but the militia left Gen. Moultrie in the hour of danger and he was forced to retreat to Charleston; the enemy appeared before the town, summoned it to surrender on the 13th, left it on the 14th, and is now on John Island and on the main road at Stono Ferry; hopes Maj. Rice may see him and give him the particulars."}
