anefe, in returning from the Cherokee country, killed and
scalped two persons near the Big Bone Lick ; they were pur
sued by a few of the neighbours who killed and scalped two
of the Indians, the others escaped. This breach is also likely
tp be fettled to the fatifa£tion of all parties, as the Headmen
had expressed great concern at the conduct of their foolilh
young people, and promise to do all in their power to pre
serve aur friendship. A treaty is to be held at Pittfburg with
tlfe'weftern Indians the beginning of October, when it is
hp^d they will listen to and follow their true inteieft, as
they tyave prornifed to do.
4 The Chiefs of the Six Nations met in council at Ononda
go on the ißth, 19th, and 20th days of last June, promised
Mr, Morgan 'to call all their warriors from Canada, and to
listen to the Thirteen United States of America, being convin
ced that.their advice was for their true interest, as they have no
business to join either fide in the present war between Britain
and America. They accordingly lent off a party for the above
purpose the zzd of June, and another party to Niagara, to
infill on Col. Butler's bringing all their people fafe back
immedately. They likewiie lent off two large belts to the
lake and other western Indians, to inform them of their de
termination, and.to desire they will also fit still.
Extract of a letter from Ticonderoga, dated August 5, 1776.
" 1 came over here from R to condud a Canadian
from St. Francois to Head Quarters. He assures me that the
Indians in general have relolved not to join in the war.
Tilings here begin to wear a different face. The greatest har
mony reigns among the General Officers. Order is taking
place in the army, and the men in high spirits. Great num
bers are coming in from New-England to Skenefborough. It
is reported that Gen. Carlton has used the Canadians who
favored us very barbarously, which has provoked them very
much. Some deserters are come over, „and some of the fo
reign troops are said to be desirous of deserting."
