That which, at
admiration, was the excellent order
which every thing connected w : th the
school was conducted. The pupils, all,
from the little girl of scarcely four years
old, to the youtij' lady of sixteen, we
must compliment upon their remmkably
good behaviour. Each one appeared to
understand what was expected of her,
uud we observed uu instance tu which
a breach of good behaviour was commit
ted. To some,this may appear a trifling
matter; but to others, who, like our
selves, have heen annoyed at public ex
aminations, by the disorderly conduct
of a badly disciplined set of pupils, it
will lie viewed, as we view it, iu quite a
j different light.
We were much pleased, too, with
ceud- the extraordinaiy proficiency which the
smaller pupils had made in the primary
britiches. Nothing, for instance, is so
much neglected, in our public schools,

At the mouth of the Hatchachubba,
wo went ashore to destroy a canoe, saw
fresh signs of Indiins. The Indians,
(many of them,) are well mounted—we
saw where they had swam the horses
across the river, which they had taken
from F«*rt Jones. One of my company,
during the firing at Roanoke, ascended
a tree and saw an Indian on horseback,
standing ns a watch. I saw one myself,
wh~ seemed to be closely observing our
movements; be was on ahorse, and about
three hundred and fifty jrnrdsoff. lam
of opinion they are well informed in re
lation to all our movements.
During my trip, ami whilst acting in
concert with Gen. Lowe, a few Indians
were compelled to flee so rapidly, that
they dropped their bundles of plunder,
clothing and a Rifle, all of which we
have now in possession. Wo also had
the unpleasant duty to perform, of bury-
' ing a most worthy citizen, by the name
! of Warren, who had on Fri. ay last, • v
been murdered by the Indians, aud c
found lying n Mr. Turner’s field. Theie
