(concluded.) 1 Sunday, the 1st day of September there was a company of light horse scooters rained, and taking ihe Cotappo Indians with them, they be ing entire foes to the Cheerokees, they marched along through Sugartown, likewise througH Toxaway, and coming upon some fresh signs of their enemies, one of the jCotappo's being detached to track the enemy, and made out the sign as far as their camps, confined in a hollow. After this reconiter of the Indian, he teturned to the whitemen. and informed them as follows, That there was a great many of them, Jtoo numerous for our whitemen that were thereThi information occasioned them tosend Jown an express to Tinache, our camps, for a reinforcement of men and some more provi sion. This being delivered we started as quick as possible to their assistance very securely ; but they not having patience to wait for our ar rival, and doubting lhatihe enemy -would not stay long there, they attacked jihe camps ; but being deceived by the situation of the same, they attacked the wrong end, and gave them a clear passage to run as they did thkfirst shot Tho Cotappoes being in the frontNespied a Cheerokee coming out of one of their Wises, and being so confounded by the surprise, raVthe wrong road for him, ior instead of cleari ljim.eir. as the rest ot his countrvmen HiH. hn made right in the face of our Indians, who,willing to see such a chance, embraced the pppoftuni. ty, and committed him to the terrors of death. After the departure of those cowards, the Co. tappoes searched next for plunder, and got a great parcel of beads, wampum," garters, and dear-fekins, and likewise some horses ; and in getting llus booty were vastly encouraged ; but as they were returning with their prize, and ascending up a hill, some small distance from their camps, the Cheerokees waylaid the Co tappoes, and being unperceived by being be. hind trees, fired at them, and killed pne of the head warriors among them, he who first discov ered their camps. Our men instantly rushed up ; but, as soon as our enemies fired, they ran so ,tfiat they cleared themselves. After this they started down to Toxaway, where we met them with the reinforcement; and bavins no thing more to do there, we all marched back to Senica Fort, and arrived Thursday the 3d, and lay there waiting lor Col.

Saturday, the 14th, we started from campK and marched until we came to the mountains of Ocone,-and crossed them with some difficul ty, and at length came to a small branch, and encamp'd there after a day's march of 15 miles. Next day we marched about 12 miles, and en rampd at a river called Tugla, at the mouth -of Warewoman's Creek. From there we march ed next day, and crossed Warewoman's Creelt, it befng so crooked that we crossed it above 16 miles in the distance of 8. Then coming into a mountainous country, our marching be coming the more difficulter, we scarcely ex- ceeded 12 miles per day ; but allowing that this distance itself would some time or other bring us to our enemies towns, it fared us as follows i We next came to the waters of Little Tug la a nd encamp'd by the foot of 2 mountains this days march about 12 miles. ; Tuesday, the 17th of September, we start, ed as formerly, and marched to the waters of Tinnessy River: Fromthence tojlhe Gassy Plains, and on to the Narrows made by the mountains on one side, and Tinnessy River on the other, where we expected to! hive an en gagement with our enemies, bejng so advanta gius lor themj being the spot where they re pulsed General Grant the last war, with killing upwards of 50 men, a great many horses, and lost a vast deal of provision ; so much that a great many suffered before they returned. But to be short, we came through these narrows with great courage, and continued four march to the first town in the middle settlements, call, ed Thisintheagh, and finding the Iudians all bad flea", we encamped in this town, it being convenient on account of Houseropm. Here we sloped till further orders, which soon came; for on Wednesday, the 16th instant we march ed a long Tirineasy River to Coweachee Town, and finding the north army had been there, commanded by Brigadier General jRutherfbrd, He?

' started at the north .fork of .T'rtnessy, ahd marched this day to the south fork of said wa ters, being about 12,'miles. This evening we were informed that fie north army had started to the rallies jw'as jjexyildered on account of being destitute of a pilot I Thi account occa sioned us to send two pilots to thern, allowing them to attack t;iwer end uf the rallies, whilst we were talack the " uppermost triwn. Here we encamped;y the aforesaid Tinnissy River.. :' . - j : Thursday, th4l9r)i day of September, 1776, w started to the yatlies, and a iilost difficult road it was, narchiuf aljong Tiutiesy Rireror branch, called Cowechee ; the pjth or rdad we marched ledus into along ralley, or rather a hollow, surrounded by mountains pn all sides, only the entrance ; , This place oes by tb name of Black Mole, anqveil it deserves that title. But to propeid, ott ourentritig, our front guard, commanded by Capt. Ross, was about half through these narrow?, and seeing some very fresh signs of Indians, had a mind "to halt, until the two wings, that is, Col. Sumpter and Col. Hammons would come up eren with him ; but they being tedious, the passage being nar row and difficult, and he being hurryed by one John Sentpears, who was hurrying fast to his end, as appears by his conduct. But to be as short as possible, as I informed you, the afore said Capt. being about half through these nar rows, the enemy was all ambuscadedj around us, and not being discovered until Cap. Hamp ton, who was Captain of the main guard, and marched on the front of the right wing had as sended up the mountain, when he espyed Indi ans behind a tree. After this discovery he in stantly fired at them. This, alarm openetLor rather emptied our enemies guns. To our sur prize they poured down their bullets upon us beyond the standing of any common soldiers ; but we being resolute, were determined not to bo conquered, which plainly appears by bur valour and magnanimity, our noble Col. Neel, being partly in the front, fought most' admira bly, considering his age and frailty ; but cast ing these infirmities away, and potting on the coat of inyincibleness, and rushing through his enemies like a Herculess or one fearless of danger, with his men at his. back, determined to fight while there was one of them and by our obedience to his orders we, through mercy, defeated our enemies, with the loss of 13 gal lant men. A merciful escape, considering the wonderful form those Heathens was placed in : Likewise the impossibility of our getting an equal chance with them. The greatest and inured almost all the killed and wounded were Col. Neel's regiment, on the account of our bein in the front of the battle. This engage- ment may be spoken of as a miracle, consider. ing the multitudes of enemies, and an admira ble place tbey had to fire on us, that we were not almost all killed ; for nature never formed such an advantageous place for our enemies, which was allowed of by all spectators. This mountain is of a hemispherical form, and had to march over the centeKf the same, where our enemies had us partly under their fire be fore hcy were discovered-This battle con tinued the space of 2 hours very warm. But ac cording to our orders, which was as follows ; the first fire, our line (that is 60)4 Neel's regi ment) was ordered to the right, to assist the guard who was first attacked ; and leaving our line, according to order, and none to fill up our place, the poor front guard was left; amongst their Heathen enemies, with none to assist them ; so that them that could not get retreat, ing dyed by the hand of tho enemy ; for Col. Sumpter was ordered with his regiment to a mountain to the right, distant almost a mile : The chief design of that, I suppose, was to hinder our enemies from coming round on our baggage and provisions, which orders they ex ecuted very manfully; but as for Col. Ham mon's regiment, I cannot give any account of their orders, as I had not an opportunity of see in i them ; the line however that they ought to have cleared of our enemies was the left, which kept up a constant and hot fire against us ; but by risking and running upon them, cleared them off their mountain, which seemed an impossi bility to do, considering the advantage they had of us, on account of the situation of the moun tain they were on, and likewise the grass be. ing so admirable long, that they always had the first shot '; and also the mountain being so steep, that they could handily clear themselves, so that we had, to appearance, but little chance with them. One thing, we pretty soon cleared them off their mountain ; for there was no oth er way to conquer them than the method we took, which was to run right upon them as hard as we could run ; for it would hare been next to vanity to stand and fight them. ' .But to be short, we cleared them ofXtheir mountain, with out giving them so much time as to take off all their luggage ; lor they left baggage of about 200 of them, that is to say, blankets, mocosons, boots, some guns, matchcoats, and dear-skins, &c. &c. I must here give a sketch concerning the conduct of some of Col. Neel's men who were wounded and escaped, first of Capt. Ross, who was in the front, was slightly wounded; the Indian that fired at him thought to hare bis scalp, and making to him, his head being down and bleading, struck with tho gun in his hand until the force of the stroke broke the butt thereof; but the Captain recovering, and act ing like a gentleman becoming his station, with all the intrepidity' that tiature ever en- dowed a hero with of this age, soon overcame him, and got his scalp. This aforesaid Cap tain ought to be extolled to the utmost for his wonderful conduct and patriotism, who is al ways acting for the good and advantage of his country; and none who is not bigoted up in enthusiasm, that is to say, heat of imagination : If we were here to applaud him according to his deserts, we should neither have room nor expression to accomplish the same : But to Droceed. we will next take notice' of a lieuten ant thai was that day in the front with him, named; William Patrick, a man of distinction as well as property; he was in the midst of bis enemies having the whole engagement, and shewed all the valour and dexterity imaginable. Next our noble Capt. Clinton, who ought to be in the front of our journal; on account of his valour and elegance, being a gentleman of su perior xlignity and flexibility, his courage is un bounded, and his conduct inexpressible, as plainly appeared by the sudden retreat of these foresters, occasioned by the undaunted courage of such superior officers, and the assistance of their good soldiers ; but more particularly by the hand of providence that interposed in our behalf, we conquered ourj i Heathen enemies. The number of Indians that foughf us that dav. bv information, was 600 ; the number of the thick of them; so that they had time and liberty to do with whatsoever they listed. There was also killed Samuel Thomson, a young a man of great courage. and valour, like wise a man of conduct, and 'gained the good will and esteem of all that ever was acquainted with him; in shorf, he was of that evenness of temper, that all his acquaintance desired his company. If I had; time, and! room to display his merits, or was really abjejto do so. it would make the most obduratest heart lament the toss of such a hero, to think that power or authori -THEiOCOFOCO-PRESS AND MR. STANLY. The truth ften mflicts n deeper, and more lasting wound, ttan the most inge nious. Hence it is, We judge, that the drubbing which Mr. Stanly lately gave the Democracy for their hypocritical pro fessions of exclusive devotion to Southern rights, whilst they used the Slavery ques tion for the benefit of their party, is still rankling in their bosoms. His shafts were weir aimed, struck home, and stuck fast. We judge they are still smarting from their cry of 44 treason" fa the South on which divers democratic. papers still ring. the changes.

Over this we came also, pie from the .many Unpalatable truths, and arrived at the path where the army had to which the true report of his speech con matk I . . I i ty orer such a good! man. But why should I march of 9 miles. march, which was little inferior to ours, only not nigh so high, but abounding with lawrel swamps and sideling thickets. After this man ner we marched to the waters of II igh wassa.and encamped between two mountains, after a day's t r r -I " say so ; who by appearance was in that assem bly fitter to go and attend the call he was com missioned or summoned unto ?; It was allowed he was deceived, by thinking jt was one of our own Indians, until the Cheerokee shot him with two bullet s in the body. ; There was like wise killed John Guyton, William Moore, James Caldwell, John Branner, James Lusk, and one the name of Linth, the remainder I cannot recollect ; but there was killed on the ground 13, and 18 wounded ; in all, killed and "woundedfihe number of 31 gallant and brare soldiers. Friday, the 20th, we gathered our sick and wounded, and sent them back to the North ar my, and sent with them a guard of one hundred men, and the remainder of us continued our march to the rallies!; so started and came into the greatest of the narrows, where were great numbers of our enemies camps, confined by the sides of admirable laurel thickets : Our road seemed to go up such -a large mountain, or rather between two mountains, which seem ed the wildermost like part of the world we were evr in, the precipice of which seem ed unclimbable ; but not fearing these seeming difficulties whilst our good presepter Col. Neel was able and willing to lead us through all danger. In this manner we marched, expect ing we should see our enemies every mile, whom we were always ready to engage, being prepared for them. At length we came to the top of the mountain with some difficulty, and finding it so high and open, we encamped thereon, after a day's match of about 5 miles. Saturday, the 21st instant, we continued our march as formerly, and as I hare mentioned of the days march before, of the difficulties con tained therein, I think this day will afford us little restitution therefor, only this, it seems something descending, we marched through laurel swamps and thickets, a place where we had not the happiness of the sun to shine on j us, neither the privilege of marching without great difficulty, occasioned by the narrowness of the path, being closed in by mountains on both sides ; and also the thickets ol laurel so closed over; our heads, that it hindered us, I may say, from the light of the firament. It al so hindered out flankers to march, and confin- eu us aimost to one pain, in in is manner we marched about 5 miles, and on a sudden the front espyed an Indian Squa ; at her they fired two guns, which put us all in an alarm, allow. ing it an attack, but soon found to the contrary. Seeing no more Indians there, we sent up one Bremen, a half Indian, that was in company, to ask her some questions; for although she was wounded in theshoulder and leg, yet she could speak, and told the interpreter as follows. viz. That all the Over-Hill Indians, and the chief of the Indians of the towns we had gone through, were at that battle that was fought the day before : and further, that they were en camped about 4 miles a head, and was prepar ing to give us battle by the river or waters of I tnuessy. Hearing this account, we started, Monday, the 23d, we made readv to march : the orders from our General was, that there should be 40 men chosen out of each regiment for front guard, or rather spies, to discover the situation ot the towns : nn wa tft cifT and tained, in its exposure of the duplicity of .1 : .-.i j t 1 -., uieir party leaaers, oy cnarging mm WHO saying what he never did say. In their ea gerness to divert attention from their ovn misideeds, they make the 'most opposite and contradictory statements ih referrenco to' Mr. Stanly's speech. One says Mr, Stan ly had much more, printed in his speech than he ever spoke, whilst another says he left out many things in his printed always minded to take psssessiou of all the bills speech he delivered in the, House. and mountains we came to. We crossed a j They arc unable to find any '-treason" small mountain named Knotty Hill; from j in the genuine copy of his speech or any thence we steered to another, where we had a want of devotion lo Southern rights, and full riew of a town called Burning town. dis i Iipmpp thv ink th rpnnrts nf nriic iuut Hum ua u uuui x nine ; 00 100K 10 me rigni : to surround it, and continued in that course ' about half way. By this time we espied the main lvrk.lv rC i - oamr ! rIL ! v wmi ! iiiaiiiiiL' l ill u i Alio front ot the town we took, where we got peace ably, without shooting a gun, though a large town, haring upwards ol 90 houses, and large quantities of corn ; but they had cleared them selves, and look with them the chief of all their effects, save some of their horses. A party of Col. Thomas's regiment being on the hunt of plunder, or some such thing, found an indjan Squa and took her prisoner, she being lame. was unable to go with her friends ; she was so sullen, 'that she would as an old saying is, nei ther lead nor drive, and by Iheir account, she died in their hands ; But I suppose they help- ea her to her end. Here we encamp d among the corn, where we had a great plenty of corn, peas, beans, potatoes and hogs : Thi day's march about 3 miles. Tuesday, the 24ih instant, we were ordered to assemble in companies to spread through the Journal. This is the title of a new month town lo destroy, cut down and burn all the reg- !

The chief design oLlhe publication is the so plentifully supplied : So alter accomplishing I elevation and advancement of Sacred letter writers, or imaginary versions of the speech, and then denounce Mr. Stanly as a traitor to the South. Out upon such dishonesty ! Mr. Stanly is again in a fair way to expose' himself to the malignant, attacks of his political opponents. He has succeeded in raising a committee to iuvestigate some of the doings of Loco focoism during the late Presidential cam paign. If there is no trickery resorted to to keep back the truth, we may look for some rare developments. Mr. Stanly is the man to make a fearless exposure of political dishonesty on the floors of Con gress, and the Democracy will catch it again. We shall see their batteries turn ed shortly in a different direction. New-bernian. The Choral Advocate and Singing Class this we were ordered to march. By this time there was an express arrived from the North army that gave us the following intelligence, riz. That -the first town tbey came to they surrounded it, and killed and took the number of 16 Indian fellows and Sana, without the loss of one man, the enemy not being apprized of their coming. After this'agreeable account we started, and came along a small mount, call ed by them Bloody Hill, and so on to another town, called Timossy, distance 2 miles, and en camped. Wednesday, tho 25th of September, 1776, we engaged our former labour, that is, cutting and destroying altthings that might be of ad vantage to our enemies. Finding here curi ous buildings, great apple trees, and, whiteman like, improvements, these we destroyed ; and marched down said vallies to another town, named Nowyouwee ;. this we destroyed, and all things therunto belonging, distant 2 miles. From hence we steered to another town called Tilicho, a brave plentiful town, abounding with the aforesaid rarities ; I may call them rarities, why so? because they are hemed in on both sides by or with such large mountains, and likewise the settlements of the soil, yielding such abundance of increase, that we could not help conjecturing there was great multitudes of them; the smallest of these valley towns by Music throughout the country.

By this time we came within sight of the aforesaid river, which seem ed the most advantageous place for our ene mies of any water! we had hitherto met with, being closed in by a thicket on one side, and by a large mountain on the other; however, placing our men in order, as follows, we sent the left wing over the river, the right wing up the mountain, and us in the front or centre : These were the orders of our head command er.

We had lo encamp here all night, cn account of bury ing our dead and attending the sick and woun ded : A most dreadful sight to behold our fel low creatures lying massacred in such a man tier by The Heathens; for there was three oi lour scalp'd and one sadly! spec red and toma hawked : His name was John Seritspeers, who, when ihe battle" began, ran Violently up among ed us to the number of 1600. exclusive of 164 work.

Neel's regi. ment was appointed for the right wing flank, which occasioned us to take to! the tops of the mountains, which seemed a task hard enough for birds ; but it was not a timejiben to hesitate, go we must, and go we did all; with one con sent, knowing that there was no danger or ma terial affair to happen : Cob Neel's regiment was all tbey depended upon in ihe execusion of i o our care to secure or commit them for pun to another, called Highwassah, where we met the North army, and encamped. This evening we had the prayers of Mr. Hall, a Presbyteri an minister, being in the North- army, where Brigad. General Rutherford brought us 16 pri soner?, that is to say, Nathan Hicks, Walter Scot, Matthew M'Mahan, Richard Ratlleiff, William Thomas, Godfrpy Isacks, and Alexan der Vernon, Hick's old Squa, named Peg, Scot's Squa and two children, one Indian fellow, ' 1 4 rtavwell. named the Barking Dog. Charles Hickt, and one old Squa, those prisoners were committed a it, and it always happened, that we came off fortunately and victorious, being crowned with fortitude, capable to bring us through the great est difficulties : So we marched from one moun tain to another, which seemed an impossibili ty even for fancy tlri accomplish, or for the most curious writer to describe. At length we came to a mountain more curious, than the rest, be cause it gave us a more clearer riew of the neighbouring mountains, and a small ralley or grassy plains, this we wished to be our desired port ; the distance: we could nbt give an exact ishment according to their deserts, being con federates or assistants to the Indians.
