The distance from these places to the fort is about, a mile and a quarter. It is a small fortification, but very strongly built, and is, garrisoned by about six hundred men, under the command of Col.

It is said that the Hutchinsons, who lived in the farms settlement, and whose loyalty to the State has been suspected, went over to the Yankees, with a Mr. Lewis Crawford and a Mr. Smith.
