They tell of seeing completed three Bbipi

small forest composed of imported trees
from Jamaioa. W. I.; they narrate of a build-

represents the fatuous monastery of La ltab-

20 feet wide and 65 feet high. Everything
else they relate concerning the buildiog is as

The distress of the families in this Fort, is
such as to oblige us to call on your Honor
for ossistanco in men and ammunition.
We have been oraelly amused with the
idea ol a treaty whioh indaced maoy to te-
tnrn to their plantations in this neighbor
hood, aud made ns feel more secure than we
ought; for on the 12th inst., a party of sava
ges were disooverod atthe plantation of Mr.
Sikes, about a mils on tho south side ol the
Williamson Swamp, by the barking of dogs,
jabout 2 o'olock in th# afternoon. Mr. Sikes
went over the fenoe to eee whet they wero
barking at, when he was fired at by e party
of Indian*, and reoeived three balls in his
arm, shoulder and hip. He got over the
fenoe after this, and wont to the house, a
small distance, and os he went in received a
■hot whioh broke his leg; tbe party also fired
at bis wife, as she etood ,st the door to re
ceive him, but did not hit her. She shut
the door and got to making oartridgee with
whioh Mr. Sikes, in that wounded situation
prepared to defend hie helpless lamily, con
sisting of wife and lour ohildren. They did
not attempt the houee, but went oil.
young man from a neighboring family, hear
iDg tho gone, oame to the houae, end seeing
Mr. Sikes in that situation, oame over to my
fort for assistance. I was from the fort at
the time he came, but be returned with Mr,
Allen Spurlook, who took a horse and went
to Mr. Bike# and fixed him on a bed in a
sledge, with one of his daughters, about
niuo years old, bis wife's sister, about 16,
walking afoot, aud Mrs. Sikes on horseback
with a child behind and one before. In this
manner they sot out for my fort with Allen
Spurlook, tbe young man having gone in tbe
swamp to bring another family. Before they
reschod th# fort they were fired on by a par
ty of Indians in the rear. They all ran aud
left the Bledgo with Mr. Sikes, aud immedi
ately discovered three Indians between them
aud the fort, on whioh they made to get
around them, but were fired on, and the
young woman and Allen Spurlock were Bkol
down aud scalped, as was tbe other little
girl, who had a bottle of rum in her hand
aud begged tliut tbe would take that aud not
kill her. They dam—d her und her rum
and said it was her so.lp they wanted; they
then knocked her down, took her sculp and
left her for dead. They then pursued Mrs,
Sikea, who must have falleu iuto their hand
hid 1 not fortunately come lo the iort ut this
time and run to meet hor; when they saw rue
they fled to Ihu swamp, Tuu little K'fl uftme

The next day the same or uuolher p*rty
Indians passed iu right of the fort—alter!
whioh we buried tho throe dead; the little
girl is likely to recover.
What attention may be paid to the inhab
itants above I kDow not, but certainly we are
left in this quarter in a defenceless situation,
neither arm, ammunition or meu, und with
out whioh we cannot attempt to tend the lit
tle land that wo have opened. To move to a
distance from tbe savages is out of onr pow-
, having many oi us spent our all in set
tling here. If we are to cover tbe settle
ments less exposed, it is but reasonable we
should be supported by them. We enter
tain no doubt but that your Honor and tbe
Oounoil will give the necessary orders, and
hope that the commanding officor may be
obliged to have executed,
