Charlestown, in South-Carolina, April 27. The King of the
Nauchees, a nation of Western Indians, faithful friends to
this province, arrived here with 26 warriours on Sunday last
and on Monday had audience of his excellency the governor at
the Council chamber. Three hundred men of this nation have
been killed by the French, besides women and children; which
has occasion'd the King to come down and desire leave to
settle with all his people at Savannah town. Tomo-chi,
Chief of the Creek Indians, who is setting out for England
with Mr. Oglethorpe, invited the Nauchees to dance with
them, which they accordingly did before the governor's house
on Wednesday, and on Thursday, they invited them to play at
an Indian game with ball and rackets thirteen of a side, in
which they shewed great strength and agility.
