covered by a large river at least 500 yards wide.

We killed but six warriors, and we know nothing about the wounded as it was not quite light - we took eight women and children prisoners, which were found chiefly in the two houses first taken - we found four scalps in the town house, and the prisoners declare they were taken last summer upon the Oconee and S .^t Mary's rivers. The prisoners say also, great many Warriors are gone to Cum berland, and that one hundred and three of them were in the town when we stormed it.

Taken from the files of the Executive. Attest. W. Urquhart, S. E. D.
