Charlestown, April 27. The King of the Nauchees, a nation
of western Indians, faithful friends to this province,
arrived here with 26 warriors on Sunday last, and on Monday
has audience of his Excellency the Governor at the council
chamber. Three hundred men of this nation have been kill'd
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-cho-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 all shewed great strength and agility.
