He is a woman that dares not follow me!" Such being the spirit of the savages, the Carolinians had no alternative but to resume their arms.Col.Montgomery having gone to England, the command devolved upon Colonel Grant, and the Highlanders were once more ordered to the relief of the province.

The Carolinians were now somewhat better prepared to cooperate with their allies.

A native regiment of twelve hundred men was raised, and the command given to Col.

Middleton, a brave and accomplished provincial officer.
To this regiment Marion was attached, under the immediate command of Moultrie.

Many of his associates in this Cherokee war became subsequently, like himself, distinguished in the war with Great Britain.
Among these may be mentioned the names of Moultrie,* Henry Laurens, Andrew Pickens and Isaac Huger.
