Wednesday last Oucconnostota or the Great Warrior,
Attakullakulla or Little Carpenter, the Prince of Chote,
Tiftoe of Keeowee, and the Raven of Toogoloo, formerly of
Nookasee, all principal Cherokee headmen and chiefs, arrived
here, accompanied by Alexander Cameron, Esq., commissary for
that nation, and Friday last they had an audience of his
Excellency the Governor at the State-House, being the first
opportunity they have had of waiting upon his Excellency
since his arrival in this province; they were received at
the State-House by the detachment of the Royal Americans now
here, the artillery and light infantry companies, under
arms, with whose appearance they seemed greatly pleased;
they sung the Peace Song, and danced the Eagle-Tail Dance in
honour of his Lordship. We hear that some of those Indians
will soon embark for New-York, in Capt. Schermerhorn, in
order, if possible, to make peace with the northern tribes
of Indians.
