My Dear Friends :—1 send you this pa
per Which w ill not tell you a lie, but if it
hud ten tongues it could not tell all
the truth, (hi the morning of the ItOtli of
April at hrenk of day, my father’* house
was surrounded by a party of Hostile In
dians to the nutpbnr of soveVol hundred,
wl*t> iibttm*tU* fired his dwelling and mur
dered him and Thomas Tiistoimuggec, by
shooting more than opt hundred balls in
to them, nnd took away the whole of fa
ther’s money arid, property which they
could carry off mid destroyed the rest,
leaving the family no clothes (some not a
rag) nor provision. Brother Chilly was
at father’s mid made bis escape through n
window, under cover of a travelling White
matt, who obtained leave for them to come
out that wav. It being not yet light lie
was not discovered. While those host lies
were, murdering my beloved father, they
worn tying my husband (Col. Samuel
Hawkins) with cords, to wait the arrival
of Itockdiuiiga, Thlcrc-eo-eos-com-ico and
Munnawnnu, who were the commanders
at father’ll, to give orders for the Colonel’s
execution also, which took place about 3
o’clock the same dqv. And these bindm-
roi'is men, not content with spilling the
Idood'nf Both my husband and father, to
atone for their constant friendship to both
your nation and our own, refused my
hands the painful privilege of covering bis
body up in tlie very ground which lie Inte-
Iv defended against those hostile murder
ers, St.drove me from my hoipc stripped ol'
my twojicst friends in one day, stripped of,
nli mv property, my provision, amt my
clothing—with a more painful .reflection
than ail these, that the body of my poor
murdered husband should remain tiiihuri-
ed, to he devoured by tho birds and the
hearts. Was ever poor woman worse off
than 1? I have this moment arrived'n-
mnng our white friends, who although
they arc very kind have hut little to lie-'
stow on me and my poor helpless infant,
who must sutler before any aid can reach
us from you ; but I can live n great while
on very' little besides the confidence I hove
on you & your government, for I know by
your promise you will aid and defend us
as soon ns you hear from our situation -
These murderers are the very same bos-
tiles who treated the whites ten years ago
as they have now treated my husband and
father; who say they are determined to
kill all who had any hand in selling the
land, and when they have completed the
work of murdering, burning, plundering,
and destruction, they will send the Presi
dent word that they have saved their land
and taken it back; and that lie and the
whitei people never shall have it again,
whiclris the order of the heads of the na
tion, hv the advice of the Agent. We ex
pect that many of our best, friends are al
ready killed, hut have not heard, by reason
of tho waters being too high for word to
go quirk, which is the only reason Colonel
Miller and others on bis side of the river
went not killed. We are in a dreadful con
dition, and 1 don’t think there will he one
ear of corn made in this part of the nation,
for the whole of the friendly party lone
fled to DeKalb and Fayette coun'ies, ton
much alarmed to return to their houses to
get a little grain of what corn they left for
themselves and tltcir families to subsist mi,
much more to stay at home to make more ;
and we fear every day that wiiat little
provisjon we left will be destroyed. I am
tfrniil you will think l make it worse,
hut how can that he, for it is worse of it
self than any pen cun write. My con
dition admits of no equal and mocks uie
when 1 try to speak of it. After I was
tripped of my lust frock Ihji one, humani
ty and duty culled on me to pull it otf nncj
spread it over the body of my dead hus
band (which was allowed no other cover
ing) which 1 did us a farewell witness of
ufiection. I w as 25 miles from any friend,
(hut sister Catharine who was with rite)
and had to stay all night in the woods sur
rounded by a thousand hostile Indians,
who were constantly insulting and affright
ing ns. And now I am here with only one
old coat to my hack and not a morsel of
bread tosavensfroin perishing, or a rag of
a blanket to cover my poor little boy from
the situ nt noon or the dew at night. 1 am
u poor distracted orphan nnd widow.

the very two men tlmt sent word to the
Governor that those Chiefs should not ho
hurt—ho answered, that at first they did
send that word to the Governor, and then
it was so; but si-nee that, the Agent had al
tered it, and told tin' Council that the on
ly wav to get their hind hack and keep it,
was to kill all that Iriul pay lisnd in soiling
it, and burn anil destroy all they had,
which they could not carry away ; nnd af
ter tlmt, other Chiefs never would attempt
to sell tltoir land for fear of being treated
in the same way; and when they had com

that they had saved tltcir land, and dn'm

Messrs. Editors— 1 h-* fallowing liiuughts] here
with transmit to yon, as the result of honest deli
berations of niiiid fir the public good : I hope you
will lie so lciiiil as to give them a place in your
widely circulated paper.
It is with much pleasure I li >liee the humane
principle that influences our sailesmeo, io their
deliborntions nod acts fir the public good, espes
dally when directed to the rising generalioo. J
admire greatly those arts in our state laws, which
make provision for • Ile gratuitous education of
the poor amt destitute children throughout the
slate. Hut ill too few instant-c* has this twuevC-
lent plan, as y"t, gone into operation ; and there
are many dilliciilties in the wav of bringing it in
to general use It may also he clearly seen, that
were it in operation, under the most prudent di
rection, il would fail to reach the eases of the
most needy and destitute children, so ns to make
them the beneficiaries of n gracious public, in any
tolerable degree; for some have no parents nor
guardians to he interested for them, mid some
have pin'mits who seem perfectly iinliflercnt a-
hout their education,—^or their abject condition
discourages them from trying to do any thing for
thorn, while in too many cascsf examples of the
nu.st corrupting nature arc laid before them.
So that wc c in calculate on nothing more, than
when sdeli children are grown up, they will lie a
nuisance and g. nernl pest to society, and it dis
grace tc a civilised country. iMiiny* of them pos
sess a genius which, if improved, would make
them blight and useful men, mid an honor to the
stale.
Can any thing more he done which may reme
dy this evil? Most certainly. Our wise men
surely have not exhausted their stores of charita
ble inventions ? No, their wisdom can invent,
and Ihe State's Wealth and active perseverance
can carry into efl'pet, such measures ns shall com
pletely remedy this evil.
I would hv no menus assume the right of dic
tating to nil intelligent public, hut I trust I am lu
liberty to exhibit my views to an honest hoarted
people. Such a plan as the following, perhaps,
might meet with approbation, and reach a pro
fitable and honorable result.—Let <opr leghdntoVs,

Tlie advantages of such an institution, in my
view, are very great. There Ihe naked, starring

Georgia in the qtiat nil of his party, for proposes
of revenge.
It is seldom that we are fortunate enough to
have good testimony to establish the truth in ca
ses of this kind, and we arc consequently much
-exposed to misrepresentation and calumny ; Imt

I iict efiv certify, that Mr, Triplett rnine to mv

inst., and requested me to Send to the Indian
ramp for Benjamin Marshall, which 1 did ; on
the morning following he chine, and lie and Mr.
Ttipleft had a considerable talk in my presenoe ;
this talk appeared to be entirely friendly to him
anil his people : w ishing him to go home and at-
:eiul to his plantation and his people; that In*
did not believe that t:.e Indians would lint*, him
or his property- ; but ns to Joe Marshall, lie was
not authorized to make any promises, as he owed
the nation and did not know w lmt they would do ;
bill if the Indians should take any of his (Benja
min .Marshall’s) property, lu* would see that they
imideitall good to him. Cnpt. Triplett also stat
ed to ken j. Mmslndl, that if lit- was afraid to go to
.my council, or to see any individual chief, he
would go w it ii him, to prove that there was no
hostility intended to him ; and if he was afraid to
go nt that time, if In- would at any future time
send him word, lie would meet him at any given
ptlicv and attend him ; and lie used various per-
Juistmis to induce the Indians to return to their
laws, nnd lias seemed to he the principal inteu-
ti ii of Ids talk. Cnpt. Triplett also said, to prove
to.roil Marshall, that Ihe Indians have no inten
tion to tie hostile, Jo»inli Gray anil Coweta Tus-
tyi"iuggec, have returned to Fort Mitchell, and
: v paid « part of tin* money lie burrowed fimil
the nation, and got indulgence from Iloiii-luirjo
for the balance. After this conversation I risk
ed f'apt. Triplett if lie thought they would hurt
(Tilly McIntosh if lie should return ; his answer
<vhs, that the Indians say that they hail topped
tin* tree which they had intended topping, and if
1 lie Cowetaus attempted to get revenge, they w mild
rut off the branches nt their leisure; otherwise
he gave it as his opinion they would remain in
peqoe. He further told Marshall, that Governor
Troup nor his Aid had nothing to do with tlie In
dians, and that a part of Lamar’s report was false,
('apt. Triplett stated to me, that the Indians ad
mitted that McIntosh w as executed by order of

I do hereby certify, that on Friday the thir
teenth instant, I set out from the Creek Agency
w it Ii Thomas T. Triplett, and we traveled together
to Col. White's in Epson comity; Col. White was
requested tiy Mr. Triplett to send for Benj. Mar
shall, and on Saturday morning ho, Marshall,
enure to Col. White’s. Mr. Triplett stated to
Marshall tlmt he had come for the purpose of in
ducing tho Indians to retai n to their farms ; tlmt
lie w as authorized to say to him, that he would
not he disturbed, nnd ins property would lie se
cure ,'~hml that tlie Indians had no business in
Georgia', uml if they did not go home and attend
to then' farms, they most expect to starve the
next year ; tlmt the guarantee of safety would
nut he mndc to Arose who owed the Nation tnrt-
lU'y, us they would prolmbly taka tlie property
of all such in satisfaction of their debts I he
stated fiitlu*r to Marshall, that Col. Crowell mis
on tlmUday to meet the cluefx at the Warrior’s
stand, and would use.his influence in promoting
peace in the Nation; lie told Mm shall lie did not
doubt tits safety if he would return, and observed,
that Cowetau Tustciimiggee nml Josiali Gray had
want to Fort MitchcH where a number of Chiefs
was, nnd Gray paid a part of the money lie owed
thn Nation, and got time given hint from Flopoi-
hnrj-i for the balance, bqt he would not advise
Joe Marshall to return Until he heard from them
Mr. Triplett observed to Marshall, that lie would
go with him at any time into the nation if Jie
wanted to see nitv of the Chiefs or nttend nby
Council t he further stated to Marshall, that tlie
Governor nor his Aid hud nothing to do with
tlie Indians, and n part of Col. Lamar's .report
was false—This I believe to be the substance of
the talk held w ith Marshall by Mr. Triplett.
I was will, Mr. Triplett during the whole ex
cursion, and know he held no other talk with
Marshall, nor was there any other Indian pre
sent except the Interpreter, tror no white man ex
cept Col. White aud mvself.

Du vn Sta—It appoars from report since 1
have gotten to this place, that there is a part of
tbe communication nf tlie Indians to the Gover

judice ; that in a talk to Benjamin Murstnill yoq
should htjve de,'lured that tlie tree was topped,

should be taken off. If there is anv other meail-
ina given to tlmt part of tlie communication than
that of it being the talk ofthe I luliael, it is cer
tainly wrong; lor while I was copying of that

Creal Invention.—Mr. Joseph Bell is
building in this town, a limit which he in
tends to propel hv Leveh power! It is now
nearly completed, and he expects to put
it in operation iu the course ofthe ensuing
week. The machinery is.Very simple, and
the manual force required to work it, will
not exceed that of four persons. Mr. Bell
is perfectly cmilidcnt tliut this attempt of
his to apply the lever power to boats with
great advantage, will he successful, and
that ho can propel them with much greater
rapidity than is done by steam. No per
son lias over yet succeeded in making this
application, although there can he no
doubt ofthe correctness of the principle.
Should Mr. Bell efleet his object, it will
lie one ofthe gren'est iichievoilteWts (if the
present age, and will entirely explode-i/te
use of Steam hoots, ns tlie labor and expense
to put boats on his plan into operation are
mlimtelv less, and the advantages tlerit-
ed from the power and lightness of the
machinery, much greater. Mr. Bell is n
plain, unlearned, hut by no means visiona
ry mntl, nin.1 those persons who have ex
amined his muehinerv and are capable of
judging, think highly of it. AVe presume
we shall hereafter have occasion to recur
to this subject.—Intellifrencer.
