Philadelphia, October 12. Extract of a Letter from
Charlestown, S. Carolina, dated Sept. 13. "The country is
at present very sickly, owing to some great rains which had
occasioned floods in several places. Three bodies of
Indians, being the chiefs of three different Nations
(Cherokees, Catawbaes, and Creeks) lately arrived in town,
and made peace with each other, at the same time renewing
their alliance with us. Friday and Saturday they were shewn
the Armory, the Church, where the organs play'd, the Forts,
where some shot were fir'd of 24 pound weight, and whatever
else was thought curious to them; and they are now
returning to their respective countries. . . "
