The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

PHILADELPHIA, September 5.

I now transmit you an Account of the most material Occurrences with the Enemy since my last, in which I mentioned an Attack the Indians made at one Kuykendall's Fort, on the South Branch of Potowmack, from which they were beat off. They then immediately divided themselves into three Parties; one of which a few Days after, killed one Person, and took two others Prisoners, on the Waters of Cape-Capunk; an Account of which was brought to Capt. Crawford, who with 28 Volunteers, was marching to this Place from said South Branch; upon which he and his Party returned, took the Tracks of the Enemy, pursued them for about 60 Miles, overtook them, killed and scalped one Indian, retook two Prisoners, one of which wounded, and got Eleven Horses, and considerable other Plunder; all which he brought to this Place. Two Days after Capt. Crawford's Return, there was Advice brought of eleven Indians being in these Parts, when one Capt. M'Culloughs then here, with about 30 Volunteers, went out on a Scout, to the several Crossings of Youghogania, where they fell in with three Indians, whom they fired upon, killed one, and released a Justice of the Peace they had made Prisoner, and got several Horses and other Plunder.---These were two of the Parties into which the Enemy had divided themselves, after they left Kuykendall's Fort: the third Party went down within eight Miles of Winchester, where they took ten Prisoners, and killed several Persons; and by one of the Prisoners, who made his Escape from them about Twenty Miles above this, and came in, we are informed, that they had taken one more Person, and killed another, from Paterson's Creek, on their Way out, and had with them Twenty-one Horses, all heavy loaded.---A Party from the South Branch, is after them.
