Is II fair, is II just, as the conductors

lsl all the statements against, and none
of those IN favor of the persons engaged

course Is not, we conceive, altogether
consistent with the duties of an impartial
editor. Let both sides be heard-lot ALI
the facts he siated-abd The people viii
then be able TO Judge correctly.
As the conduct OF the officer who COM
manded the expedition will soon be fully
in, estisa,ed before The proper tribunal,
public opinion should be suspended till
The trial is over, when the truth will be
known. This consideration has induced
usio decline Publishing any thing further

habitanis. From all could then learn
ii appeared TO be- uncertain what troops
they were, and under whose command,
or by " hose order this understandable and
barbarous deed had been done; and az
the consequences cannot be toreseen
which may result, when the justly cxas-
peraied warriors Of the town return, and
ind their town and property destroyed
Their uno!fending and helpless families
, killed or driven into the woods to perish,
whilst they are fighting their, and our e.
ucmies, the Seminoies, deemed il best
10 come 10 The State and endeavour 10
procure correct information. now find
that The party had been sent out by your
orders, but failed 10 execute them and
that the attack on Chehaw WAS unauthori-
sed
present the case for tie consideration
OF your Exceiency, under a confident
hope, that as the people of Chehaw were
nOt only friends. but that their conduct
during The present war entitled them 10
our favor and protection, some immedi-
ale step will be taken TO render that salts
faction which is due for so great an inju-
ry.

SIR-The Wolf Warrior, The bearer of
| this, has just arrived her. and brings bad
news from the muc-cul-la town (Che-
haus.) Nearly all the arriors belonging
TO that town are now with our army.
Seven days past company of white peo-
pie collected and rushed on the town, and
as there were but few red people there,
| and all friendly, Just what few were left
to guard their town, the rest still with our
army, the white people killed every one
they could lay their hands on--kilied the
old Chief Tiger King, and one other chief;
both have known always to be friendly
10 our color, ever since have been IN this
land. The whole of what are killed is
nine men and one poor old woman. They
took oil what horses were there, the own.
ers of some OF which are sill living they
took the horses TO the Fort, which is not
far from the town they have destroyed. !.
The Chiefs that are still alive, beg that
you will try 10 get their horses, or any
thing else retained. The red people don't
know whether ii is The regular troops, or
Georgia militia, that have committed this
understandable act have wrote you all
tina! think is necessary ifyOu see cause
10 write any thing TO me 10 inform them
of, will do il with pleasure. IL these PEG.
pie do not get some friendly treatment for
the damage done them, am afraid, when
their warriors return back from our army,
something bad will happen on some of
our color. am very sorry 10 have TO
write you on such a horrid piece Of bust
ness. ! write you in haste, for the bearer
is III d great hurry TO see you.
Iremain, sir, your friend and most ob't
serv't. (Signed) II. BARNARD.
