Charles-Town (South Carolina) August 12. . . We have heard
of no outrages committed by the Cherokees on this side Fort
Prince-George, since the return of the army from thence;
nevertheless our back-settlers are under such dreadful
apprehensions, that numbers of them are travelling for
safety to the Northern colonies with their effects. The
present seeming inactivity of these savages, is imputed, by
some, to the correction they have received from the King's
troops; and by others, to their dancing and physicking days
not being yet over, or their being gone towards Fort-
Loudoun, or to oppose Colonel Byrd with their whole force.
