and after he had finished his lecture reiterating his call he would add that if there was any passage j of scripture at all which any of his hear i ers did not understand in accordance with i his theory if they would call upon him ■ he would gladly explain it to them after he had been there about a week ' the old german became heartily tired of him and concluded to try his hand upon him ;

this sight seemed terrifying to see our fellow creatures lying dead and massa cred in such a manner as hindered us almost ; from interring or burying ihem their effects be ing destroyed their houses lying in ashes ;

and casting their eyes towards the i ground that they left ihey espied about sixteen | indians here looking as earnestly for blood as i a hunter after his game afler this discovery i they started to our baggage guard and gol safe j there : by this time we came up wishing for j such game but finding none we made to our j waggons and arrived about sunset being dis tant about 9 miles sunday the 6lh of august we started wag ;

but being prevented of his j design was forced to surrender up his camp j and worse for him his life also with doing no j other execution than wounding one of our men i through the side ol his belly then we had to leave two companies of our men with the wounded man and the rest of us continued hunting for more of such game and came a long the said savana river to a town called chitlitogo where we started some more of our foresters and killed one squa and capiivaled a squa and two negroes and got information from lhe captives ol an indian camp up in lhe mountain where was confined old mrs hite and her two daughters whom they took prisoners when they killed tk>e remainder of lhe family they likewise informed ns lhal there were 300 warriors started to keewee ; and were determined lo take that town and waggons ; and likewise that there was a body of them yet guarding the camps this in formation put us to a stand whether it would be expedient to return or advance to relieve the poor prisoners ; after a long consultation i it was concluded by our good col neel to pur sue our enemies which we willingly complyed to and started with a small body of men ; for col thomas's was ordered by him lo g back to camp but to proceed we marched over mountains very difficult lo climb but allowing not to be conquered we crossed ihem with some difficulty and persisted as far as a moun tain within 3 miles of lhe camp being to onr view unclirnbable we assended partly to the top of the same and making our best speed up were hailed by a shot ofa gun which came from our enemies who where screen'd by blinds made wiih broken limbs of trees and no sooner we sloped bul ihey fired about 14 guns killed one horse and wounded another we received no more damage but spread round the mountain lo surround ihem ; but they cleared themselves night coming on vve had to en camp here all night upon this mountain : so on friday the 9ih we started aboul day light and marched down to their camp ; but they were all fled and hadcarryed mrs hight about 100 yards irom their camp and had kill ed her there leaving her on her face naked after burying her we ransacked the camps gellino some plunder they not having time to carry all off so started back to keewee to our camps and lay there till an express ar rived from general williamson's scouting par ty which gave the following intelligence to wit ;
