TranscriptAMERICA

Charles-Town, South Carolina, October 28. They write
from Hard-Labour, near Ninety-Six, on the Western
Frontiers, that John Stuart, Esq; Superintendant of
Indian affairs, on Saturday the 15th instant. finished
the Congress with the Cherokees, having concluded the
treaty ratifying the boundary line between the Cherokee
lands and his Majesty's Provinces of South-Carolina,
North Carolina and Virgina. The Indians took their leave
on Monday the 17th, and parted with the Superintendant on
the best terms imaginable. They have put off marking the
line behind Virigina till the Spring, as the advanced
season of the year will render that service impracticable
in the Winter. The Superindendent was to set out in a
few days for Mr. Galphin's at Silver-Bluff, where he was
to be met by all the principal chiefs of the Creek
Indians.
