But, tv* ^ after the execution of Andre, it is very well ar known, that the British were looking out for a victim for retaliation. The condition of Maj. a* Wigg and other persons, men of property and w J position, men who had been educated in Eng- st ; ^Mand, and who occupied a highly responsible se position in the society of Charleston, was that ar f of prkouers of w^r, after the capitulation of J ^ I Charleston?prisoners of war, recollect?and *s they were upon parole either in the city or upon ^ their plantations.

Gen. Greene, yielding to the dictates of honor and indignation, determined to retaliate r upon the British for the execution of Hayne, r %hen this gentleman, Maj. Wigg, vas at the 8' ..... . j_ j t? .L l SL gaUows Diuaing ins comraue aim uroui-uwuw farewell. The British dared not to take his w life. But wbatjdid they do ? They imniedi- n ately sent emi&arius, to his plantation, de- . spoiled his house, earri&koff his property, and ,s left the man who wrote the*noble sentiment w embodied in the report upon yoar Uible, without the ordinary means of subslsWiee. The |a sentiment is this: when Col. Balfour, who 111 took upon himself the office of civil Governor w of Charleston at that time, reduced thena from the condition of common prisoners of war and placed tliern upon board the prisonships, and vl told them that their lives would be held re- ?st sponsible for anything done by Gen. Greene 01 by way of retaliation upon the British, they ei wrote to him (Gen. Greene) not to forbear in % the performance of what he might deem to be b s duty, as they would be sorry only that they c?.uM not perforin a more acceptable service ?.' to their country than offering up their lives and blood as a sacrifice for the honor of the coun . try and the success of its arms. I will, bow- w I! ' e\ er, read it in order that it may be made more conspicuous by its own words: w ' We have the honor of enclosing a copy of ai a letter from Col. Balfour, commandant of ^ C harleston, which was banded us immediately tc on our being put upon board of this ship. The ?J letter, speaking lor itself, needs no comment; J,'1 your wisdom will indieutc the notice it merits. , \Y o would just beg leave to observe that should P' . it fall to the lot of all or any of us to be made ^ ih<> menaces therein contained we V IYICUnio have only to regret that our blood cannot bo disposed of more to the advancement of the * glorious cause to which wo have adhered:" tp'P' That is their letter! They were then hfs- !f tnges, notpiisoners of war; their condition 1 was changed, and changed by the fyrawncal W policy of the bloody tyrant who then apferned ^ Charleston under the form of civil Authority I They were willing that their blood utiould be : tr spilled in the cause, and that tliey should be e( held to answer for the acts yf Clen> (;r(.e?0< g They were hostages; and the Jaw laid down C j- r |~ ?0 ' *' )'- ,.. * .' v'v y Gfotius is, that where hostages sufTe jury, it is to tie indemnified. 1 do riot lat they became hostages by the declar.i f Balfour, but they became so by the acqi jnce of Gen.

With a desperate effort most of ew (thirteen in number) reached the r< f the aid of the boats. The waves beat isly upon the wreck and the rock.
