{"value"=>"Has been at Charlotte near the South Carolina line endeavoring to forward the militia to the assistance of the Southern states; of the 1500 ordered a considerable number had arrived; they will be under the command of Brig. Gen. Butler who will proceed to Camden and thence by the route selected by Gen. Lincoln or Gov. Rutledge; latest accounts from the Gov. of South Carolina have determined him to go directly to Newbern, where the Assembly is to meet; hopes it will order an additional force to the southward."}
