CENTREvILLE, Aug. 10, lS40.
Dear George: | am sorry to inform you
that the Indians have done good deal
of mischief on the Suwanee, and it is
thought that they have again come into
the Oakfanoke; last Friday they killed
Joseph Howell's wife and two chrildren,
and Danl. Green's wife, and shot his
daughter through the shoulder; they have
robbed and burnt out the inhabitants as
they went, beginning at Green's-they
have burnt nearly all the dwellings up TO
Fort Gilmur. Joseph Howell and George
Johns got in here to-day; they followed
them up the Suwanee several miles, and
found IL dwellings burnt. They are for
ted in at old Bill Cones and Capt. San
derlain's. The Indians fired on Sander
lains house all night on Friday night, the
next morning took the road up the river,
and only went five or six miles TO old
SumagalIs place, and killed some hogs
and cattle, and stayed all night.
This is the most bold and daring act
they have committed since the commence
ment of the war; the people above this are
generally very much alarmed, and some
of them are already moving of, whether
with sufficient cause | cannot say.-Ab
salon Cossey's children, six in number
were killed last Wedne sday, on the soutI
prong of the 81. Mary's, some suppose BY
the same party. have nothing more
worth your attention at present.
| remain, yours most t,uely.

CENTREv1LLAGE, Aug. %, 1910.
Dear George All is excitement and
alarm up this way; the Indians have kill
ed Thomas Davis and two of his children,
and John Patrck's wife. They had all
gathered at Arch. Hogan's (Monia) and
on Wednesday, just about night fall, they
attacked the place and killed the above
named persons, and burned every build
ing on the place except one that they de-
Tended. They have burnt Davis place
and Miney's and one other in this county.
1t is abou, 80 miles from here. do not
think we are in danger as yet, though
others think different. There is a part
of two companies OF Dragons from Black
Creek already scouting about the Oke-
fanoke, and Tracy is trying to raise fifty
men for thirty days, under an order of
Gen. G. Floyed. What will be the final
issue, time only will show. If | think
there will be any danger here, shall at
once take my family away.
Yours, in haste,
