PHILADELPHIA, November 24.

Extract of a Letter from Carlisle, Nov. 8.

"Again our savage Enemy have begun to infest our Borders. Yesterday Morning about Sun-rise, James Williamson, going from his House to his Barn, was fired on by three Indians who killed and scalped him, and his two youngest Children, taking the eldest (a Girl about ten Years old) Prisoner : the Wife happily made her Escape. The Settlement being alarmed, a Party of near Forty Men immediately turned out, and went in Pursuit of the Enemy.

P. S. The Party that went out after the three Indians, is returned without finding them."
Extract of another Letter from Carlisle, Nov. 14.

"By a Gentleman from Bedford, we have the following Account, viz. That the Convoy of Provisions for Pittsburgh left that Place on Thursday last, under an Escort of about 60 Men : That several Indians were seen about the Road : That one Man, who had been out hunting Horses, was dangerously wounded, but made his Escape, and was brought back to Bedford : That William Read, and David Glas, were found killed and scalped the same Day ; and a Third was missing, supposed to be made Prisoner : And it was thought there was a large Party of Enemy in those Parts, as many Tracks had been discovered."
Nov. 15. Accounts of this Morning say, that four Houses were seen on Fire in Cove. and the Families supposed to be murdered.
