The STERN which has been so long ea.

respectable citizens has at lenghth fallen
on our infant defenceless settlements. On
Monday last the Greek Indians com menced
hostilitics against us. and on that day re-
duced one fort at Tensaio, about fifteen
miles from S:oddert; in which there were
between three and four hundred persons Of
every description. Of these, about one hum
dred and thirty five were volunteers in the
service Of the u. S. and local militia. Ills

to an old framed house in the centre of the
pickets. Sll was done that could be effect.

powered by numbers, they were literally

influence Of British gold and furious fanati

nately maintained for long time, that the
opponents, overcome by fatigue and exerti-
n. loaded their pieces deliberately and shot
each other down, or were mutually dis
patched by the bayonet and tomahawk.
