We lately mentioned that Mr. Thomas CRESAP, Junr. and his brother, with a party of men, painted and dressed like Indians, were gone out in pursuit of the enemy. Since which we are informed by Capt. DAGWORTHY (who came to town yesterday from Fort Cumberland,) that on the 23d of April, as Mr. CRESAP and his party lay in ambush near the Little-Meadows, they saw a party of Indians coming by them; but one of the party firing too soon, alarm'd them, and they fled as fast as possible into thickets, leaving their horses and baggage, which our people took and brought off with the,; among their baggage one scalp was found. One of the Indians taking a different course from the rest, Mr. CRESAP, and two others run after him and would overtake him, he dodged behind a large tree, and Mr. CRESAP stopp'd behind one smaller, and they fired at one another so near together that it could not be distinguish'd which fired first. Mr. CRESAP was shot with large shot in the breast, and the others of his party coming up, he told them, not to mind him, he was a dead man, but to pursue the enemy, and then dropp'd down dead. The Indian was shot thro' the right breast, but was not dead when they came up to him, and so they dispatch'd him with a tomahawk, and scalp'd him. Mr. CRESAP's body they buried as privately as they could. He was a young widower, and has left two little children; and his death is lamented by all who knew him. History of Western Maryland, J.
