Philadelphia, September 23. Saturday last arrived an
express from Colonel Armstrong, of Cumberland County, with
advice, that he marched from Fort-Shirley on the 30th past,
with about 300 of our provincial forces, on an expedition
against Kittanning, a town of our Indian enemies, on the
Ohio, about 25 miles above Fort Duquesne. . . About three in
the morning, having been guided by the whooping of the
Indian warriors at a dance in the town, they reached the
river, 100 perches below the body of the town, near a corn
field, in which a number of the enemy lodged out of their
cabbins, as it was a warm night. . .
