Chillicothe, February 20,
1806
We understand the Governor has received an express
from Mad river, from Major Moore and Capt. McPherson, along with depositions
taken on oath, which state, that the Shawney Indians are preparing for war -
that the war belts are passing amongst them - that their tomahawks are painted
and feathered - that they are embodied at Stony Creek and at White River, and
are now in council at Greenville, where it is feared they will stroke a war
post in their council, this being the determined signal for war - that a small
settlement on Stoney creek consisting of about 8 families, from their fears
had armed for defence, but had fled into Mad River Settlement.
It appears
from this express, that the Shawneys are preparing for war, but does not
appear that it is intended against the white people; it may be intended
against the Indian tribes over the Mississippi. Proper measures will, we have
no doubt, be taken to ascertain their intention, and such prudential means
used as will quiet the fears of our defenceless citizens, if the alarm should
be groundless, and the restless tribe of Indians be urged by any foreign
emissaries, to involve themselves in what will ultimately prove their entire
ruin.
Since writing the above, we learn that a second express has arrived
from Mad river, with dispatches for the Governor, and that General Kenton,
Major Moore, Captain McPherson, and a Mr. McIlvain, went to the Indian
council, but could not get admittance; they had, however, a conversation with
about eighteen Indians, who met them at a small distance from the council
house. The Indians received a few strings of white wampum - professed
friendship for the white people, but, at parting, manifested hostile view, by
giving their left hands & c. The above gentlemen are fearful of
consequences; but nothing appears certain as to the views or object of the
Indians.
We are informed the Governor has sent a message or speech to the
Chiefs, with a large fine belt of white wampum, and has given such
instructions as will, it is hoped in a few days, bring news that will restore
the public quiet. We are also led to believe, that orders have issued to
Brigadier Gen. Whiteman, of Green county how to prepare and act, if necessity
should require it.
