T Scott and Wilkinson, in due time, at- tacked the unhappy villages on the Wabash, destroying some food and killing a few warriors. Of St. Glair's most fatal conflict we have already said enough. When the news of that campaign reached the President, he felt that he must act with decision, and at the same time he was, with most others, still unwilling to lose any opportu- nity of avoiding further bloodshed. While, therefore, steps were taken to renew the army, and place it under a leader of undo...ubted ability and energy, means were also adopted to bring the intentions of the United States home to the minds of the natives more completely than had been done before. To this end, the Iroquois friendly to the United States were to go westward ; Brant was invited to Philadelphia ; Colonel Trueman, with a friendly message, was sent from Fort Washington (Cincinnati) to the Maumee ; Colonel Hardin, with a similar message, was despatched to Sandusky ; Cap- tain Hendricks, chief of the Stockbridge Indians, was urged to attend the convention of the natives in the Northwest ; and General Rufus Putnam, of Marietta, was authorized to go into the Indian country and make ^treaty with as many tribes as he could.
