NEW ORLEANS, Aug. a, 1912 =
Sour government is organized, and Leui-
Hana has become state of the American
Union; the spirit Of confidence and devotion
to the union has been in a very honorable
manner proved by the election of governor
Claiborne, by an honorable majority. The
legislature has been organized, and its first
act has been to attach to the state, that part
of ancient Louisiana, called by the British,
during their short occupation, West Florida,
which is now an integral part of the union.
regret to have to tell you, that we
have this day received advices from the O.
Their side of the lake, that the Indians have
commenced hostilities, and committed some
trocious massacres no doubt is left OF
their being instigated by the emissaries of a
foreign nation"
