Charles-town, in South-Carolina, August 18.  Some weeks ago             
a party of Creek Indians came to Keowee in the lower                    
Cherokee Country, where we have Fort Prince-George, headed              
by a fellow of no great note, but intirely devoted to the               
French interest, called the Young-Twin, and accompanied by              
two Shawanese:  None seemed to know the business they came              
upon; they pretended only a visit or a ramble; yet it was               
observed that the Young-Twin held frequent private                      
conferences in the woods with the Cherokees:  On the 3d                 
instant, this party, with a number of Cherokees, set out for            
the Creek nation.  Nothing yet transpired of the Young-                 
Twin's errand, till the 4th, when a very fortunate accident             
revealed a dangerous conspiracy, entered into by some of                
both nations (how many it does not yet appear) to break out             
a war with the English; to begin it by a general massacre of            
our traders at their great Busk, or Green-Corn Dance, on the            
24th instant, and to follow it, by immediately falling on               
all our poor back-settlers. . .
