443. WH Sat Mar 14, 1795: Knoxville, Jan. 23. An express arrived here on Monday night last from Nashville, with dispatches from Gen. Robertson to Gov. Blount; by whom we are informed, that Wm. Colbert a distinguished chief of the Chickasaws who has a commission from the President of the United States, giving him the rank of major, with upwards of twenty warriors arrived at Nashville on the 4th inst. with
five Creek scalps, taken on Duck river on the morn of the 2d. They party of Creeks consisted of only the five who were killed. They had with them a war club, halters, bridles, and spurs, evidences of a determination for war and horse stealing. The leader of this party of Creeks and his brother, were known to major Colbert and others of his party to have been for years engaged in murder and stealing upon the frontiers of Mero district. Colbert bears the rank of general in his own nation, and is as bold and impious a Sans Culotte as even France can produce.

444. WH Sat Mar 14, 1795: Extract of a letter from German Creek, January 29. “We had a treaty with the Cherokees the 18th of December,
and the 8th inst. they fell upon a party of men from our settlement, and killed one and wounded two, without any loss on their side. This is the
way that faithless and bloody tribes keep their treaties with us, we have some expectation that the Choctaws, Chickesaws and Upper Cherokees, will go to war against the Creeks, as a party of the Chickesaws has already been out to war against them and has brought in five Creek scalps which I am in hopes will be some ease to our frontiers, if Congress will only give us the liberty of raising one hundred men for
six months, to join the tribes that intend going to war against the Creeks, I make not the least doubt but we can oblige them to make a
permanent treaty with the United States, for one half the expense that the treat of New York cost. If Congress should not think worth while to
fall upon some other method for the protection of our frontiers than has been heretofore, I think that the inhabitants of this country will fall
upon some plan for their own safety. The party of men above mentioned, that the savages fell upon, were out a hunting meat for the support of
their families.”

445. WH Sat Mar 14, 1795: New York, February 17. March 4. Extract of a letter dated Fort Washington February 2, 1795 to a gentleman in
Philadelphia. “The Indians have by their Deputies generally applied for a Treaty of Peace with the United States; you will see by the official
papers now transmitted, that preliminary articles are signed, proposing to meet for that purpose at Greenville on the 15th June next. I am now
happy to inform you that we are in a fair way to obtain a peace with the hostile Indians on the side of the Ohio; Deputies from six of their
nations are now at this place soliciting a cessation of arms, till a treaty can be accomplished; and this day preliminaries have been signed
by all the Chiefs present, viz. Wyandotes, Miamis, Ottawas, Patowatamics, Sakees and Chippawas; these constitute the whole banditti
except Shawanese and Delawares, and they are expected every hour. The Indians say the great spirit has opened their eyes, and directed them to make peace with the United States; but I rather believe, it was the glare of our bayonets on the 20th August last that has thus illuminated
their minds. The treaty is to be completed on the 15th June next, after which should the war continue, we shall have 500 warriors less to combat with.

446. WH Sat Mar 14, 1795: New York. March 5. Yesterday the House of Assembly passed a bill for the establishment of Public Schools in this State, and appropriating the annual sum of thirty thousand pounds for their support.

sleeve buttons, a pair jean breeches, and a checked linen shirt; in his pockets two small purses, in one a silver broach, and about eighteen
shillings in money.

449. WH Sat Mar 14, 1795: It is surprising that our sister State Massachusetts, has not yet become ashamed of her mode of electing
Representatives for Congress, it requires the whole period of two years in some districts, to get a choice, and some of the gentlemen are hardly elected, at the time their seat is vacated. The over-caution of requiring more than half the votes to be centered on one candidate, not
only exposes the state to great expense, loss of representation, and the derision of her neighbours, but it does not increase the chance for
electing better men. Other states are just as well represented as Massachusetts. (N.Y Herald.)

450. WH Sat Mar 14, 1795: The hon. court of probate for the district of Windham, has allowed the term of six months from this date, for the

457. WH Sat Mar 21, 1795: Hope for Old Bachelors. Even when past 50! Or, a remarkable instance of an Old Bachelor’s Marrying at the age of 52, and having and bringing up Children. From Thomas’s Massachusetts Spy, Southkingston, February 21, 1795. Mr. Thomas, If you think the following statement worth offering to the readers of your Spy, you may present it as a real fact. I brought an action to the Court, now
sitting, against Perceval Allen, of Hopkinton, in the county of Washington; and on the back of the writ, beneath the Officer’s return, was the following statement: “The Defendant was an old Bachelor until he was 52 years old, and then married, and had eight Children by his wife, with whom he lived sixteen years, and then buried her, and has lived a widower 44 years, and is now a healthy, smart, active man, 112 years old.” I believe there can be no doubt of the truth of this statement; for I have been this day talking with one of his sons, who also confirms the truth of the above fact. And he himself, viz. Thomas Allen, son of the said Perceval Allen, is now 58 years old, and begins to talk of courting. Three of his brothers are now living, and none of them have ever been married. Yours, &c. Cyrus French.

Benjamin Abbott. Hampton, March 16th, 1795.

estate, or be debarred a recovery aggreeable to law. All persons indebted to said estate, are requested to make immediate payment.
Bilarky Snow, Administrator.

462. WH Sat Mar 28, 1795: In our last, we mentioned the marriage of Mr. James Perrigo, to Miss Thirza Butt, and we then supposed it truly stated; we have since been informed, that respecting their ages, the publication was erroneous; and it is evident that the person who sent it
to the press misrepresented it with a design to ridicule the above persons, and impose on the printer. In future, we wish to have no
communication from persons capable of such little actions.
