An express is this day came in from Fort--Loudoun, by whom
we learn, that that garrison daily expected the army to
their relief, and were reduced to their very last shifts,
not having above 2 or 3 weeks provisions at most, and being
obliged to kill what horses they could get . . . that the
Indians pretended to them, that they had beat the army back,
taken two drums, one horse load of ammunition, flour, &c.
and had killed and scalp'd so many that their hands were
sore. . . .
