We hear the ladies in Charlestown, S. C. remarkable for
their good sense, politeness, and vivacity, have not a
little chagrined the British officers in that place, by
their firmness and patriotism. They cannot behold with
insensibility the miseries of their country; they cannot
regard it's inhuman invaders with complacency; they cannot
receive the compliments of the officers with a smile, nor
take a part in their entertainments. These ladies, full of
the sentiments of humanity, as well as delicacy, and
reflecting on the sufferings of their countrymen and near
connections, have constantly refused their company, tho'
warmly and repeatedly solicited, at concerts, balls,
assemblies, and all parties of pleasure, with the British
officers.
