CAPTURED PROPERTY.

An inventory of the captured property from the Indians at the battle 
of Chustenallah is graphically given by Colonel Sharks:

An invertory of the captured prisoners and property showed: Two 
hundred and fifty women and children; forty or fifty negroes; five 
hundred head of ponies; seventy or eighty wagons; one hundred head of 
beef cattle; five hun­dred head of sheep; ten thousand (more or less) 
dogs; besides buffalo robes, beeds, belts, and other trinkets too 
nu­merous and infinitesimal to name.  One article found among the 
trinkets, invaluable by reason of its age and antecedents, was a medal, 
struck in commemoration of a treaty of peace concluded between the 
Creeks and the British Government, in the year 1694.  What became of 
this souvenir, the author knows not; but hope it has been returned, 
ere this, to its original owners.
