It is stated in the Milledgeville Recorder of the 8th inst. on the authority of a gentleman of undoubted veracity, living in Pulaski county, that two or three weeks previous, a few Indians encamped in a neighbouring county for the purpose of supplying themselves with venison, and that while they were absent on a hunting excursion, a number of white men went to their camp, and took their blankets, clothes, saddles, bridles, provision and skins, and made a bonfire of the whole! The Indians were entirely peaceable, had done no mischief, and were furnished with recommendations from McIntosh and Barnett, soliciting for them friendly treatment. But it was the misfortune of these children of the forest, to meet with savages worse than Indians. Fears are entertained lest some innocent person should suffer for this abominable act, so contrary to hospitality, justice and humanity.
