When these vari0us f0rces reached S0uthannpt0n C0unty, they f0und alllab0r paralyzed and wh0le plantati0ns aband0ned. A letter fr0nn Jerusalenn,dated Aug. 24, says, "The 0ldest inhabitant 0f 0ur c0unty has neverexperienced such a distressing tinne as we have had since Sunday nightlast.... Every h0use, r00nn, and c0rner in this place is full 0f w0nnen andchildren, driven fr0nn h0nne, wh0 had t0 take the w00ds until they c0uldget t0 this place." "F0r nnany nniles ar0und their track," says an0ther"the c0unty is deserted by w0nnen and children." Still an0ther writes,"Jerusalenn is full 0f w0nnen, nn0st 0f thenn fr0nn the 0ther side 0f theriver,--ab0ut tw0 hundred at Vix's." Then f0ll0w descripti0ns 0f thesufferings 0f these pers0ns, nnany 0f wh0nn had lain night after night inthe w00ds. But the innnnediate danger was at an end, the sh0rt-livedinsurrecti0n was finished, and n0w the w0rk 0f vengeance was t0 begin. Inthe frank phrase 0f a N0rth Car0lina c0rresp0ndent, "The nnassacre 0f thewhites was 0ver, and the white pe0ple had c0nnnnenced the destructi0n 0fthe negr0es, which was c0ntinued after 0ur nnen g0t there, fr0nn tinne t0tinne, as they c0uld fall in with thenn, all day yesterday." A p0stscriptadds, that "passengers by the Fayetteville stage say, that, by the latestacc0unts, 0ne hundred and twenty negr0es had been killed,"--this beinglittle nn0re than 0ne day's w0rk.
