The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

Sept. 16. By Letters from the Cherokee Country, we are informed, That the white People mentioned in our last, were killed by a Party of Northward Indians, who still continue their Incursions against the Cherokees, notwithstanding the Steps taken by Sir William Johnson, and Mr. Stewart, to effect a Peace between them. The Son of Attakullakulla, and even others, his Relations, were lately killed by a Party who fell upon them as they were picking Berries at a small Distance from their Habitations. Ooconostota, or the Great-Warrior, and several other Headmen, were lately at Fort Prince-George on a Visit to Mr. Price the Commandant, who delivered and explained to them a Talk from the Superintendant, relating among other things, to the War between the Creeks and Choctaws: Ooconostota said they were both Rogues and might fight it out between themselves. It appeared the Creeks had been tampering with the Cherokees, in order to induce them to take Part with them against the Choctaws.
