We hear that many of the late reports to the South ward are without foundation.
The Indians have committed some murders, and carried off a woman and two children; the woman and one child were however released, and the other child adopted by one of the Indians and carried to the nation, which is supposed to be the reason that the others were sent back unhurt: the last mischief there is a certainty of is the killing a man by the name of Pelcher, and wounding his brother, who is come in with his arm broke. Two or three more such checks as they have met with from Lewis and the party of five, will make them more cautious in their depredations.
We hear the State troops marched last Thursday from the Shoals of Ogechee for the lower district.
