Montgomery  left  Charleston  early  in  April,  with
regular  and  provincial  troops,  and  laid  waste  a
portion  of  the  Clierokee  country.  They  were
not  subdued.  The  next  year  Colonel  Grant
led  a  stronger  force  against  them,  burned  their
towns,  desolated  their  fields,  and  killed  many
of  their  warriors.  Then  the  Indians  humbly
sued  for  peace  (June,  1761),  and  were  ever  after-
wards comparatively  quiet.
