We are informed by express from Col.

bodied near the Hickory Ground, and that
1900 are designed to attack the frontiers of

OF the whites, as the Creeks will pass
through their country to get to Tennessee.
The same accounts state that 1900 are to
attack Georgia snd 600 the settlements on

callea on the commanding officers of regi-

NASHVILLE, (Ten) September IA.

More Of the AsrfuI Massacre An ex-
press arrived on Sunday last to his excellen-
cy Governor Blount from Fort St Stephens,
bringing certain information of the dreadful
slaughter of several hundred of our fellow
citizens by the Creek Indians, headed as
some have imagined by Spanish or British
officers On the S0th of August, about $50
savages attacked Fort Mems, stockaded
fort about 10 miles above Fort Stoddart,
and IS miles below Fort ST Stephens, de-
Tended by about LIS fighting men, in which
were 100 or $50 women and children.
They made desperate assault with
axes they cut away the pickets, and at the
same time fired the block house The as.
sailed defended themselves very calamity ];
but as soon as one Indian fell another took
his station and axe. After an opening was
effected they rushed in and butcherca the
whites without mercy. Major Beasley of
the l2 months men, fell as they entered the
opening. Mr.. Mems and number of wo-
men and children were burnt to death in
the block house Every soul of the whites
persisted except 8, and of the Indians about
200 were killed.
On the Thursday following an attack was
made on Fort Sinkfeld it proved unsuc-
cessful ; about 10 Indians were killed. A
number of families were butchered on Bias
sets creek.
The inhabitants Of the Mobile country
have abandoned their dwellings, and retreat
ed to the forts. Gen Claiborne is in the
country with about 800 twelve months men,
and the other troops in the different forts
amount to about 1900 men Aid il solicit
ed from our state.

Ertract Of q letter from John Johnson,
Esq. Indian agent at Pigua, to the
Editors
have information from Detroit that
the British and their allies are in great con-
fusion, and have no confidence in each O.
Their; number of the Indians have gone
home. Tecumseh and Round Head are
said to be the only leaders that are deter
mined to adhere to the enemy; they are
the most popular, and of course have a con-
siderable number of followers. 1t is my o.
pinion, however, that when matters come
to crisis, the savages will shew their true
character they will abandon the British to
their fate"
