By an Express from the Frontiers, we learn that Col. M'Donald had just arrived from Wahatomakie, a Shawanese Town on the Monongahela, which he has destroyed, with all the Plantations round it, taken 3 Scalps, killed several of the Indians, and made one Prisoner, with the Loss of only two of his People, and 6 wounded; and that an Expedition is planned against some of their other Towns, which, if successful, will probably put an End to the War. Several Parties of Indians are daily seen on this Side of the Allegheny Mountains, but they have done but little Mischief of late, except scalping one Family on the Head of Cedar Creek.
