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. o$ o o®o®o $o ® o *3: o J§J.os oso FOR SALE, PAPER MEDIUM of this STATE.
