By a gentleman immediately from Natchez we have the following. sir From a convtrfation which I had with a principal ChickafaW Indian, called the Indian fa&Of, from his having formei ly been a kind of agent for that nation, 1 nm coir, meed that the Chick ifaws with the af (lit a nee ot their neighbors, intend raiting the long buned tomhawk, and arc meditating an t -.it rgetic k and deHructive blow on the whites' The facTtor ftates, that the Indi m.-, pretty generally, have given credit to the Rati m nt that the Prophet, previoutiy to the battle ot the Wabaftl, told the Indians, if they would not join him againft the whitea, he would fpeak to the great fpirit, and as a proof ol his great difpleafure at tht ir dilobcdie nee, th,e eaith Ikotild be unufually agitated md COnvulfed and threatened immediate dilh (ution. Thi& ftatement gained ground, they believed the Prophet for their difobedicnce, caufed the frtqueftt (h . kings of the earth, expeiieuced during the lafl winter. The factor contiders it the duty nf every Indian implicitly to adhere to the Prophet, as evon the deep foundations of nature tremble at his command.

On Tuefday morning lafl, five Indiana killed a family, eoofiftiag of tix per tons on this frontier. There is a woman yet alive, aoout five miles from this place, tho' (1 -through the thigh and fcalptd; and (hoiking to tell, committed on I cr other atts cf barbarity that never was before known amongil the barbarians. They took a fcalp from. her. and perpttrated oihrr in dignities. The army is in good health ar.d fpirit 5, eveiy one horning to avenge the cruel depredations. Clat ion Since the foffgOftg was in type, wr have fa n col. loflin, who left Dickfou county on Wednefday laff, who informs ns that he fi w capr. Drury ChriAian, who dated that he was ordered by general Johnfon, to repair from his I e-d qn-rteis then at Humphrey a ci ur' houf , t Di kfor county, and raite as mipy volunteers as he could, be to join him hy Wednefday evening at Tenneffee nver, rapt. Crillian (fated tlut three fpya who general Johnfon had lent atreis tlie river, returned, ard brought a very unfavourable account. They Hated they no Indiana, but the li.-rs indicated there could not be lefs than five or fix but dred, and that they thought it would he vrry dangerous to attempt to cool's at pre Cent the Tenneffee riva 1 r. This r- pro : had induced the general to ilToe the orders which Capt.

Col.
