a duel has lately taken place near
Tallahassee, between George Ward
esq, brother of Lieut.. Ward, who was
shot by Col. Parish, and Col. Alliston,
Parish's brother-in-law. The parties
met with four pistols apiece, at fifty
PAGES, withth privilege ofadvancing.
Ward fired his pistol without advancing
and without hitting his opponent, tho
the ball passed close to his ear. All.
ston's two first shots were without ec
feet. Wards second shot struck All.
ston on the hip, but a silk handker.
chief saved him from injury. The
third shots of both parties were like.

IN great CONSERVATION on account of the
hostile movements of the Cherokees: he
has raised a volunteer mounted company
to act as spies upon the Indians, and to
form Gordon upon the line of Carroll

TO their stations on the 24th under the

the present county site of Pauding, whose
movements are evidently hostile, that the
white Inhabitants are under great alarm
that they are without ammunition, and ur.
ses the Gen. to furnish a supply as soon
as practicable.
Rumors state that Cedar.town has been
laid IN ashes, and from IL to l6 families
hutchered by the Cherokees.
We have also been informed, that the
ma'lcarrier, who rides through Cedar.
town. refuses 10 return on account of the
hostile appearance of the Indians, when
he passed through few days ago. We
have this moment been informed by Judge
Springer, who has just arrived from Car.
roll. that a number Of families have alrea
dy come over into Carroll from PauIding
that the Indian forces now collected are
computed from 10 50G--that they inso
Ienlly demand provisions from the whites.
and are robbing them Of their CATTLE one
Indian has been killed in the act of driving
oil cattle : as blood has been shed, the
inhabitants are fearful, that as the troops
from this section leave for the Creek ma.
ton, the Cherokees will rise and com
mence general massacre. Therefore.
we anticipate that our volunteers on their
arrival at Head Quarters will receive or
ders to countermarch TO protect their own
homes. as the present seat Of apprehended
