Sir,

f
With refpectto fome late outrage committed
on
the Cherokees, I here tranfinit the following certifi
ed documents; viz ri: a proolamation,"rd, a ralk
to the head men and warriors of the Cherokee Na
lion, 3d. the executive order of the 25th inftantto
the Liw Department, 4th; a communicatin to Ma
Gaither..
Jor
From all which it will evidently appear, that
there can be no doubt of .the mal conduct of certain '
citizens of this frat e, who have murdered fome friend
ly Indians, and committed other depredations.
You will perceive that the necefsary ’ fteps have
jufiice thofe offenders,,
been taken to bring to jufice thofe offenders,, as
well as to pi eferve a cominuation of amity.
I have to rem rk, that from the very ihort crops
of grain lafi fea foil, no per iod .has ever been more
he present, and this'
unravorable lot’ wsrthan 1
a.
ought to be of great
cosiderarion
moug othe
weightto prefer ven peace with the neighbouring i
tribes : ihould my endeavors prove .unfuecefful
—Osr
the core-ot peace, it wi ll be necefary to be prepar
ed, andfor this purpofeI have to call for the efta
• blithment of magazines of provifions, without which
it will not be poflible to keep that number of militia
in the field which will be necefary to give confidence
to. the frontier fettlers to keep their ground, thould
war not be avoided. " . j
From what I can learn, this violence on the part
of the offenders has proceeded from the circumftance 1
of four whites having been killed, horses ftolen,and
other depredations committed by the Cherokees .•
whatever palliating point of view .this may be confi
dered in, it cannot interfere to prevent the offenders
from abiding the execution of the laws.
I have the honor to be Sir,
Your molt humble fervant,

The Talk of the Governor of Georgia..
Brothers,
EVER fince the people of the King over the great
water were driven from our land, your people and
the white people of this country have lived, until a
few months ago, in peace and friendhip ; no blood
was I pilt on either fide ; trade, mutual intercourfe,
and good will to each other did prevail, and it ever
has been my great defire, that we ihoold continue
in friendthip with each other, while the trees grow;
and the waters run : But now the bright chain is
become dim, and fome.of its links broken, whilft
you with all your good people, muft lament the
111
happy fate of thofe who have fallen by the madmen
on both fides. .
Then brothers, let us not charge each other with
the acts of our madmen ; and, fince we cannot bring
life back, let each of us punith thofe mad people
who have spilt the blood of the innocent; and fo
open the path between us once more, brighten acain
the chain of friendthip, and fatten all its links"to:
gether, nor longer fuffer the dark cloud to cover the
little mountain that ftands between us:_Let the
hatchet be buried, and the big fword hall remain ip
ruft ; we will then again take each other high by the
arm, and faft by the hand ; we iball fit under the
fame tree, the imoke of our pipes thall make one
cloud, and we will tafte of the fame cup.
Brothers, confider.well this talk; it is the talk of
1
■ peace, and will be fent to the great and beloved
warrior of all the white towns, that he may know.
what the bad men on both fides have done.' "
