Williamsburg, in Virginia, January 21. On Wednesday arrived
in this city from Fort Cumberland, a party of the Catawba
warriors, who have been some time with our forces on the
frontiers. On the 28th of December, on their way down, they
met a party of Cherokees at Fort Washington, were they
received each other with the greatest marks of friendship:
After smoaking a pipe round, the head warrior of the
Cherokees desired the head warrior of the Catawbas to give
him an account of their late rout, which being done, they
called for liquor, drank the King's health, and the head
warriors of each nation, and then proceeded to dancing,
concluding the whole with a grand war dance.
