From the frequent murders committed on the
people of Kentuckey, Cumberland, and the un
wary travellers to and from thole countries, by
| the Creek a»*d Chickamangie tribes of Indians,
g. the State of Franklin has lately resolved to place
: a strong garrison at the mouth of Highwanfce ri-
I ver, in order to give a check to the future progress
of such a banditti of blood hounds, who make it
their bnfinefs to live by their predatory excursions, -
' and likewil'e to secure the great number of emi
grants that are daily fettling on the frontiers of
Franklin.
The following : 'Talk, together with other dis
patches. was received by the Governor of Frank
lin the beginning of last month :
To the Head Wart tors and Chiefs f the Cherokee
Nation.
Friends and Brothers,
I AM requested by our great Council in Ken
tuckey, to write to your nation, in order to let
you know that the men who attacked your people
last February, were not sent out with any hostile
intentions against the Upper Towns, but against
the Chickamangies who depredate and infeft our
fouth and fouth-eaflern frontiers ; and our men,
who accidentally fell in with a party of the Che
rokees, could not poflibly diftinguifli them from
that of the Chickamaugies. But I mult inform
you that what your people have fullered, was not
altogether undeserving, as our men had found in
their pofleflion two horses belonging to our people.
I can give you every afiurance, that it is our desire
to live in peace and harmony with the Cherokees,
but it is impoflible for us to do it, as long as the
Chickamaugies, a part of your nation, are fuf
fered by yon to commit the rnoft horrid outrages
on our people ; and provoked to the last degree by
ftjch repeated injuries, we are determined to take
an examplary revenge, unless either of you, out
of your own accord, will take effectual ineafures
to reduce that lawless tribe, or aflift us in so doing.
\ But lhould you not acquiesce to either, the blood
which may be Ihed in our taking indiferiminate
revenge, must lie on your own heads. I would
only reqtieft you to look back, and think of the
blood your nation has Died on the weft fide of
Cumberland Mountain, lince the conclusion of
the iwar with Great-Britain, and not only that,
fcut the horses and goods you have taken from the
travelling people. I would also with you to re
member the time I went to your towns, in search
of horses, (when your Father, Mr. Martin, got
you to hold a council) which horses you had at that
time in your pofleflion, though denied me in the
mod solemn protestations: now if you do not
cause an immediate alteration, I am determined
to have fatisfattion for all my di(appointments,
and give you this timely notice that you may not
complain when it is too late. I could wish you tp
give me an immediate answer on this eccafion,
w. I am
fe' Your humble Servant,

A Number of felf-chriflened philosophers,
who had adopted Voltatre\ Atheiftical prin
ciples, proposed to eie£t a ftatiie to that poet’s
memory. Thefcheme was in great forwarrinel's,
when an Engliili gentleman defeated it, by intro
ducing the following iuto all the falhionable ruelles
at Paris.
Infcriptionfor an intended Statue of Voltaire.
Behold if oltaire ! deserving of a stone !
Who in poetry was great,
In hiftory little;
Still less in philosophy ;
And in religion,
Nothing at all.
His wit was acute,
His judgment precipitate,
His diftionefty extreme.
Loose women smiled upon him ;
The half learned applauded him,
And the profane patronized him.
Though he (pared neither God nor man,
A junto of Atheists,
Who call themselves philosophers,
Scraped some money together, •
And raised this Statue
To his memory.
THE following Appeal will be tried before
His Honor the Governor in Council, 011
