Philadelphia, September 23. Saturday last arrived an
express from Colonel Armstrong, of Cumberland County, with
advice, that he marched from Fort Shirley on the 30th past,
with about 300 of our provincial forces, on an expedition
against Kittanning, a town of our Indian enemies, on the
Ohio, about 25 miles above Fort Duquesne. . . . About three
in the morning, having been guided by the whooping of the
Indian warriors at a dance in the towns, they reached the
river, 10 perches below the body of the town, near a corn
field, in which a number of the enemy lodged out of their
cabbins, as it was a warm night.
