We are sorry to inform the public, that our accounts from the frontiers of this State, afford a gloomy prospect: scarcely one of the counties along the Alleghany that has not had one of its inhabitants massacred by the savages; and the inhabitants of the two outer counties, Monongalia and Greenbrier, are all in forts. Our accounts from the frontiers of South-Carolina and Georgia, are, however, more favourable, as the militia of those States have penetrated the Indian country on the sources of the Mobile, and bid fair to repress their insolence.
