ON (he N gbt of Monday ihe \ r’
i:ij}. there came to the fere of Mqfi s,
KIDD & Cos. at the Hog Mountain,
Jack fin count", EG Jit INDIANS
cf the CREEK Nat in—it appears
this fiier had in view the rebbiur the
w 4> #
Store, and then cutting the threat cf
ft id Kidd. Mr. Kidd had, by fme
me ms vr other, get intimation ef their
intention, and had prepared himftlf
for the attnek. The Indians bad al
ready get into the Store, and t&kev
therefrom fmt few ar titles — Mr,
Kidd rufbsd in cn them—inf mediately
dijpatched one, and as the fee met one
w.rj aiming a blow at Kidd, be vsrti
led his knife from him, ct>d wish his
Ofwn weapon, laid (his ether invade
low—He then made at the third, vi*9
he ifpera'tly wounded—the fourth
efcaped unhurt. We are happy to
learn, that ihe wounded Indian, uni
lis companion, who efcaped from Mr,
Kidd, are both fafs in fackffn county
Jail.
A few days after this affair, cue
of tbs Chiefs } accompanied by fever a!
of the Warriors, came in a //.,
Mountain, and informed Mr Kuid
that ihefe Four Indians were a fart
of a Company cf Twenty-Seven, who
had been laying out for feme months ,
for the purpefe cf committing depre
dations on tbs Whites—that they hud
heretofore eluded their fearch, alt ho*
d’.lligetJily fought for —and that the
Chiefs and Warriors ft rarely hoped*
the remainder of the party might ween
tas fame J site. Several Companies of
tbs Jackfou county Militia, have gone
in purfuit of this gang of Differadoes
—and we truft they will give c good
account of them.
SINCE writing the above, we
have cenver ed with a man, who in
forms us, that himfelf and family
were flying ferfafety frem the fsnip
ing knife of the wercilefs Indians. Hi
aljo fays, that three other families lay
*t the Camp Meeting Ground cn ike
night of Tuefday laft. Ibis man in
forms us, that, in the night of Mon
day lafl, between 3 and 400 Creek In
dians crojed the Appalctcric near tbs
Hog Mountain. The avowed off eft cf
their viftt is to feck revenge for the:
murder of their comrades. IF'e arc
It he wife informed, that Cot. HA KRIS
has, with a promptitude which does’
him great honor, motflerei upwards
cf 100 men, and mar bed *yiib them
