April 14. Our late intelligences from the Cherokee country are that the Northern tribes had formed a large encampment on the back of North Carolina, from whence they frequently despatched scalping parties against the Cherokees; but that Salloue, or the Young Warrior of Estatoe, had collected a numerous body of the best marksmen from all the towns, to go against them, in order to destroy their encampment, and prevent any further incursions from that quarter. It is further said that, after strict inquiry, the Cherokees had no hand in killing Mr. Boyd; nor were there any of the Virginia traders murdered, as was reported.
