Oh I ! think on my fate, once I free

..Was as happy, ae happy could be,
b. p\l plafitreis fled, even hope is deftroyd,
1 A Captive, alas ! on thetea.
|vas ta'en ify the foe ’twas the fiat ol fate,
To tear me from her I adore,
jv hen thought brings to mind, my once
• happy efiate,
I x figh—High —while I tug at the car.
Hard, hard is my fate ; Oh ! how gal
ling my chains,
My life fleer’d by miseries chart,
// An/tho ’gainlt my tyrants, 1 loom to

fears gufli forth, to ease my fad heart.
X iiiUain e’en to fluink, tho l feel the

WH AT a life does he lead,
Who has one of the breed,
Os Xantippe fait bound by his fide,

And his own never venture to guide.
It is true the old Greek
V as lo mild and so meek,

I'm not quite so patient,
As that learned ancient,
M 1 ;/ y v ixen no comfort I find.
Thinks the lafl word her right,
While she rapidly rattles away ; *
And her voluble tongue,
While on fw'ivels hung,
Will not give echo finr play.
In a nuptial debate
1 oft lose all my weight.
Few points in my houfc j can carry ;
If her will is but croft,
Ev’ry motion is loft,
Oh why did 1 —“ Why did I marry !”
FREDERICKSBURG, Feb. 12.
From Knoxville, ‘January I.
By letters of the 20ta ult. dated at
the Turkeys town, from Captain Cli
olm, information is received, that the
Creeks are determined not to retaliate .
upon the citizens of the United States,
for the seventeen Creeks lately unjuilifi
ably killed upon the Oconee, by the ci
tizens oi Georgia ; but intend to de-
V. rnand latisfad'on from the federal gov
*£etnment, according to the treaty of
.New-York,. We are also informed,
WthatCapt. Chifolm, a few days pail,
p left the \ urkey’s town (in the Chero
\ kces) for the Chickasaw nation, with
bjUvertines of peace from the Creeks to
V tjT Chickasaws; and there is great rea-
L, T >n hope, that he will effect a peace
1 ! v , c f n .‘hofe two nations. Cant,
vi.uoan is j n t j ie restoration

Knoxville , Decemrr 2-, 1 797
Sir—Your letter of j efttrday, with
its inclofures, was lull e-jenhg delivered
to me by your son, exprtfs. ; Humanity
cannot but be fhockcd v. tie untimely
death of our fellov/-ci:u:n, Mr. Black,
1 truly lament it.
V our son informs me, tire: the In J ’an
who killed him, was Gf'or.e, of Guil
howee, well known if th: nei.j ur
hoed, in which he had fjequsntly been,
and always well treated. I rejoice that
he so immediately fufreed the highest
penalty of the law, deadjat the hands of
i his pursuers.. Accept, ft, [my thanks
I for the particularity win (which you
have reported the circuit fakes of this
unhappy affair, and be plaki to present
them to the five militia vho with Inch
agility, under your ordet, give pursuit
to the murderer of Black, aid put him
to death. Instant retaliiiojt tor killing
a man under such circunilinces, upon
the guilty, by any hand ailefo inflift it,
cannot but meet the approbation ofeve
■>’ citizen of the UmtedjSjhtes, and, I
may add of the world. I i|ali immedi
ately nia ke known to the ii raging Maw
and the Cherokee Nationgpr.eraiiy, the
manner cf the killing oflijr. Black, by
George and of the immedale killing of
George in retaliation; da 1 have no
demy but with you, and ot!;er
iiig the death of the form r, and will
express ti.cir entire fatisfiticn in that
of the latter. Thus you be, that Ico
not believe, that the front it of
Sevier county, have any (Tiger to ap
prehend at the hands ot the merekees. .
When they arc in danger, fey fhaii be
j protected, if practicable. F<r a drunk
j en man to commit acts of valence, is
too common, amongst endives; and
blood ior blood, is the high, price re
quired by the laws of Goaf man.
Peace with the Indians sos great
worth, and it is the true inf rest of eve
ry front ier citizen to pref :rv it.
i am, with great rcfpe:,
Your obedient iVv ant,
