Extract of a letter from Fort Prince-George, Keeohwee, dated
August 6th. . . 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 Loudon, or to oppose Col. Byrd with
their whole force.
