EXfKlIl 1'IO.V AGAINST TUB CHBtiAWfi.
In our Lxst paper we briefly noticed
(Jte issue of the late expedition against thr
Chehaw Indians. Since then, the official
account of that affair haa been received,
and will be.found below. Respecting thr
poll -yof thi* expedition, there are various
opinions; and with regard to its tragical re
sult, many contradictor; statements. Il
l* a*-cried, and so far as we have heard it
expressed, public opinion favors the belief,
that tiie town destroyed wa* friendly; and
tome of its warrriers are stated to he now
with the army ondergenrral Jackson. On
all subject*, bat mere particularly on one
. whtnh has recited much interest and feeling
through the country, it is our duty, a* faith
ful purveyors of intelligence, to collect thr
/nets, to far a* we are able, and lay them
before the public. With that view, th-
a mexed documents are inserted; and wo
shall cheerfully give a place to any other
autem-nt calculated to shed light'on an
occurrence, involved in great doubt and
nncertainity.
We are authorised to state, that the cie-
entire haa been long since convinced, Ip
inf irmitiunderived from respectable sourc
es. •! the hostile disposition of the Indians
living in the neighborhood of Fort Early,
on the Flint river—particularly those un
der the influence of th* ckielt jUmwiml
Bopoma. To quiet the apprehensions of
the frontier, and prevent depredations in
future, captain Wright of the militia sta
tioned at Hartford, with such volunteers a*
could aasemnle, was directed by the govern
or ta chastise tAe towns abowt named. Un
fortunately, the detachment it is believed
was misled, either by tlie ignorance or de-
ni*0 wf the guides, and fell on the old Che-
haw Tjwii (supposed to he friendly) whica
w-xs laid in ashes and man? of its reached
iuhabtUKta pat to death.

and slightly felt by two or three of tin
men. Some of t‘ie Indian* found in the
town were painted; all 1 «aw evinced a
disposition to fight or escape. We killed
twenty*fonr warriors, and burnt the town
agreeable to orders. A considerable num
ber of new British musket*, carbine*, etc.
were destroyed—in nearly all the house.

regular*, Tennessee volunteers, and a feu

possession will be taken. Strong garri

The Indians, though routed and disper*

lued. V\ e understand, owing to the un
■rjlthiiiess of that part of Florida in fi
rjminer, hostilities will cease till Ful!
whru they will prooablybe renewed. To
ensure peace from these savages hereafter,
a lasting impression must be. made upon
their fears, which can be a.- omplislied
only by severe chastisement.
