Charles-Town, (South-Carolina) October 30. . . On Wednesday
last Alexander Cameron, Esq; Commissary for the Cherokee
Nation, with Ouconnostota, or the great Warrior,
Attakullakulla, or the Little Carpenter, the Prince of
Chote, Tifftoe of Keeowee, and the Raven of Toogoloo,
formerly of Nookasee, all principal headmen and chiefs of
that nation, arrived here, in consequence of directions for
that purpose given by the Hon. John Stuart, Esq;
Superintendant of the Southern District; and this day they
had an audience of his Excellency the right hon. Lord
Charles Greville Montagu, Governor in Chief, &c. of this
Province, to congratulate him on his arrival here, this
being the first opportunity they have had of waiting on his
Lordship; they sung the Peace-Song, and danced the Eagle
Tail Dance, in honour of his Excellency. We hear, that as
soon as his honour the Superintendant returns from the
southward, whence he is daily expected, so many of the
principal Cherokees, now here, as he shall direct, will
embark for New-York, to treat of, and endeavour to conclude,
a peace with the Northern Indians.
