SIR, Philadelphia, Ma, 23, i,Br.
I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency,
that on the 7th ultimo I matched about three hun
dred men (nearly half the number of volunteers from
the country) and furprized the towns of Coofhock
ing and Indaochaic on the river Mulkingum, killed
15 warriors, and took upwards of 20 old men, wo
men and children. About 4 miles above the towns I
detached a party to cross the river and destroy a par
ty of about 40 warriors, who had just before (as I
learnt by an Indian whom the advance guard took
prisoner) eroded over with some prisoners and scalps,
and were drunk; but there being a very high frcfli in
the river, the attempt was found impracticable. Af
ter destroying the towns, with great quantities of
peltry and other stores, and killed about 40 head of
cattle, I marched up the river about 7 miles, with a
view to cross the river to pursue the Indians; but
when I proposed my plan to the volunteers, I found
they conceived they had done enough, and were de
termined to return ; wherefore I marched to Newco
mer's-town, where a few Indians who remained in
our interest (not exceeding 30 men) had withdrawn
themselves.
Captains Kilbuck and Luzerna, upon hearing of
our troops being on the Mufkingum, immediately
pursued the warriors, killed one of their greatest vil
lains, and brought his scalp to me.
The plunder brought in by the troops fold at Fort
Henry for about 80,000 pound. I had upon this ex
pedition, Captains Montour and Wilson, and three
other faithful Indians, who contributed greatly to the
-success.
The troops behaved with great spirit ; and altho'
there was considerable firing between them and the
Indians, I had not a man killed or wounded, and on
lyone horse shot. I have the honour to be, with the
utmost refpedt and attachment,
Your Excellency's mod obedient,
And most humble servant,
Ills Excellency DANIEL BROADHEAD.
S. Huntington, Esquire.
Published by Order of Congress,
CHARLES THOMSON, Secretary.
P. S. The old men, women and children, taken at
the Indian towns on Mufkingum, were set at liberty,
with an injunction to all their warriors that it was
them we came to fight, and if they were men they
would adt as we had done, Ihould any of our old men,
women and children, fall into their hands.
