Title
Georgia Militia Not Discriminating between Creek Friends and Foes
Description
Gaither reports that [contrary to guidance from Federal authorities] Georgia militia General Twiggs does not intend to discriminate between Creek friend and foe, with the exception of Cussetahs. Gaither surmises that this will do mischief to United States strategic intentions. Reports that many militia are in open rebellion against federal government since 1 November 1792, violating the [Treaty of New York], firing rifles at the sign of the President of United States General George Washington, and publishing falsehoods against virtuous citizens of United States.
