of a l«’ter frt>m one of the officer*

#; 6eic a FlovU, dated
FORI Lrt-WRjfcNCE, Nuv. I*.
To-morrow we decamp
for Cowctau with as many
as the troops as can poiiibiy
bt supplied ; two troops of
Cavalry alone, will go on
with the army, the remain
der are ordered back to the
Ocmulgee, as well to re
connoitre the frontier, and
protedt the inhabitants, as
lo relieve the army from the
burthen of luch an exces
sive number of cavalry,
which ar« found to retard
its operations by reason ot
the difficulty, or I might
fay, impracticability of to- :
raging them. Two troops
wilTbe Itationed at or near!
Fort Hawkins, and two at
the Alcovy. Captains Ir
win and Steele goes on with j
the army.
This unexpected move
ment of the army has been
dictated by news received
this morning of 12 or 13»©
of the hoitiU indians hav
ing been seen about thirty
miles dilLint Iron* Cowctau,
*afTembleti ana menacing an
attack upon that place. It
is confidently believed, here
that we (ball have an inter. |
view with them before ten
days elapse, and 1 c - i ven
ture to allert, tliat nothing
is more desirable to us. Ihe
runner who brought in the j
news, informs that the
Tenneflee troops are in the
mountains, cutting out a
road [as the holtilct indians
lay] and as soon as they rc- ,
iuce Cowctau, they intend t
meet them, &
whilfi they are engaged a
bout the road, so take their
waggons and run the tro 0 ?*
off. From this it wo
fctin that they have no
knowledge of u«, and io
D§yU the afllllant age r,: » j
hehcvei, but I confcfs I nave
Avery difieient opinion.'*
1 2th November in the morning.
“Since the.dale above we
have received information
by a runner from Cowctau,

i with the evident design to
I us, or iniercept our

I have a battle there is no
doubt. We bury four ot
| our army tnis day, and ma
ny more very lick indeed.
The lad sudden transition of
.the weather ha« hid a dtre
ifu 1 effect upon thole who
were in a debilitated date.
It is now underllood that
we march as loon as fomc
