:! had the pleasure Of being present
this day T5th July when chief sent as
a runner from the friendly Indians at
1aokahautchce made his .epnrt 10 Col
Hawkins. He was man dcscrvedly OF
high standing among his own people and
! one OF those doomed by the followers OF
the prophet for destruction. He said the
difficulties of the friendly Indians cont
uued 70 increase Of their people were
murdered, one of them woman: and
| that chief was missing. Attempts had
been madeto settle their misunderstand-
ines in friendly way. and refused by
the ad!erents TO the prophets. The
chiefs repeated their desire to throw a.
side their war sticks and war projects,
but without effect. The answer was IN
sultinr and hostile, as well to the friend
| " Indians as to the citizens of the y
States. The old Talcssee king return
ed the answer. He boastcd 81 his bows,
his arrows, his war clubs and his nagi-
cal powers. The chiefs say they have
brought themselves into their present
difficulties and embarras sments by their
fidelity 10 their treaty stiPulations with
the Uoited States BY giving satisfac-
ton for the aurders on the post road, On
Duck river ard Ohio, which it was the
du,y OF tie nation to do, they are placed
in war attitude by their opponents -
By doing Justice to the'while people trey
have incurred the resentment OF strong
party in the nation who threatened them
with death. The work of deatk and de-
struction of houses and property had
commenced This being their true 81
tuation, they asked colonel Hawkins the
aid sf the white people. They were
willing to pay for this aid, and pointed
out the fund fsr it. Though their white
friends in aiding them will effectually
rid themsel,es.-'' IF sc are destroyed

will have the work to do yourselves,
which will be bloody, attended VIII, dit

Col. Hawkins seEt off runner with
an interpreter and four Chiefs TO those
who had taken the prophets talk, with
this demand Of explanation of their con.
duct, which was interpreted in my pre-
sence.

A reply from the frantic Indians, we
believe has not yet been received. Nor
is it to be expected that words alone will
avail much with people IN their situa-
ton Being bent on mischief, they must
taste the cal mites of war, and be made
to drink deeply the cup of aiflle,ion be-
fore they will return to their duty.
