{"value"=>"Col. Inness was badly but not fatally wounded in his unlucky encounter with the rebels on Ennoree; the militia, as usual, fled and left a few honest fellows to be sacrificed; Gates's defeat did not entirely discourage the disaffected, but the defeat of Sumpter will certainly cool them; the Long Cane settlements ought to be disarmed, and those who correspond with the rebels should be treated severely; he and Brown will soon be able to make out inventories of the vacated estates in this district; the commotions have prevented sending the tobacco to market; that is the only article they have on which to raise money; clothing should be secured for the negroes."}
