August 21. Advices from Augusta of the 8th instant inform us, that about a fortnight before, a party of about 150 men, under the command of Major Jack, set out from Fort James on the ceded lands, about sixty miles to the westward of Augusta, for Toogelo and Eitatoe, the two nearest Cherokee towns. After three days march, they arrived at those places, where they killed about thirteen Indians, and burned both towns. They likewise took one Holmes prisoner, who had been in Cameron's camp that very morning. After having effected this, the party returned home, and Major Jack arrived at Augusta on the 10th of this month.

The same advices add, that, in all appearance, the Cherokees will not receive any aid from the Creeks, but be left alone to extricate themselves out of a quarrel they so rashly and needlessly involved themselves in.
