LEXINGTON, December 13.
We are informed that an exchange of prisoners
is to take place at Nalhville on the 17th instant,
between the Southern Indians and the United
States territory South of the Ohio, in consequence
of which governor Blount has wrote to col. Whitly
to forward those taken by him on the late expedi
tion ; that expedition, together with the one in
tended by general Logan has (truck the Indians
with such a panic, that they are anxious to make
peace as soon as poflible.
KNOXVILLE, December 13.
On the 28th ult. Peter Greaves was killed by
Indians, within a quarter of a mile of Sharp’s sta
tion, near the fouth bank of Clinch river, 20 miles
north of this place. The Indians who killed him
had way laid the path, and fired at so (hort a
distance that he was powder-burned. Upon being
wounded, he ran, was pursued, and much hacked
with a sword; and from the force of the blows,
about fix inches of the point of thehlade was broke
off. Two scalps were taken off his head.
On the 10th inst. a party of Indians, about two
hours after dark, secreted themselves within twenty
feet of the door of the house of Thomas Cowan,
and fired upon his wife and son as they stepped in
to the yard, and pierced the cloaths of the latter
with eight balls, but he escaped under cover of the
night into the woods, and Mrs, Cowan returned
. into the house unhurt.
The firing alarmed the neighborhood, and capt.
Beaird was at Cowan's, with twenty men, within
an hour and an half, patroling the woods the whole
night in search of the Indians, hoping they would
strike up a fire, by which they could be discover
ed. The next morning, (nth inst.) by order of
governor Blount, capt. Beaird went in pursuit of
the savages.
Mr. do wan lives on Beaver Dam creek, within
eleven miles of this place.
On Monday last arrived in town from Cumber
land, feargeant Samuel M'Clellan, with ten Che
rokee prisoners, who axe to be delivered up at
Tellico block-house on the 18th inst. as agreed on
between governor Blount and tire chief of the Che
rokee nation.
We learn by a correfpondcnt from Kentucky,
that during the past autumn, upwards of 3000 per
sons have removed there from the Atlantic dates—
This territory too has had an unusual acceflion of
emigrants within the last fix months; and from
the best information, we have reason to expedl
10,000 next year, chiefly from Georgia, South
and North-Carolina.
Jan. 9. On the third inst. the conference which
commenced on the 18th ult. at Tellico block-house,
between governor Blount and the chiefs of the
Cherokee nation (the lower as well as the upper
towns) terminated. During its continuance, all
matters of past hostility were fully difeuffed, and
terminated with the strongest aiTuranees of peace
on both sides.
Owing to unavoidable circumstances, only a
partial exchange of prisoners took place ; but the
firft of June is the day, and Tellico block-house
the place appointed for the completion of that bu
fineis.
The bloody Fellow and John Watts, of the lower
towns, made a part of the representation from that
quarter of the nation; and besides the affuranees of
peace given on the part of their own nation,
pledged themselves to use their efforts to prevent
the holhle Creeks from murdering and plundering
the inhabitants of Cumberland and Kentucky.
We flatter ourselves our frontier fellow-citizens
may now have faith in Indian affuranees of peace;
so far as peace is in the power of the Cherokees.
Killed and fealped by Indians, on Harpeth, 16
miles from Naftiville, on the 20th of December
last, Hugh Tenan, of Sumner, (late colonel of
Orange county, North-Carolina) and John Brown
and William Grimes; the latter a nephew of gene
ral Mebane, member of congress from North-
Carolina.
