Extract of a Letter from John Wilson, of Augusta, to Messrs. Campbell and Son, dated June 15, 1775.

All the Cherokee traders have come down but two, and have the pleasure to inform you that they have overpaid their full cargoes. There is at present but very indifferent talk in that Nation. They have lately killed two Virginians that had gone up there express, which I am afraid will be the cause of war. Should that be the case, I shall be badly off, having little powder in the fort. I am informed that one of our traders was stopped by the Indians, in order to bring a talk down.
