We are at a loss to tell whether the following lit ill-'

The Indians oti the opposite bank then presented
themselves, and returned the fire. The firing contin
ued across the river, until the ammunition of the whites
was exhausted, when they retired. The number of
Indians was computed by tho men nt five hundred,

We are h|*o inclined to the belief, that the enemy has
*nireled more severely than i* represented iu the letter.
From the commencement of tho S'*ige, no' n shot lias
been fired unless at a particular object, nud as there
are some of the best shot* in Jefferson county among
them, many must have been killed. The Indmnscon-
ftd'iiz in their overwhelming numbers, at first ap
proached within point blank rifle distance, hut taught
by the unerring aim of our men. they have latteilv
kept a more respectful distance. During the attack of
the 15' Ii. a chief who made himself conspicuous, was
brought down hy a marksman. Four or five Indians
sprang forward to his assistance, nud all lell atone fire
over hi* prostrated hotly.
The Indian* ascribing their own losses and the Invin
cible courage of our men to witchcraft, fired silver
bullets in accordance with n well known superstition
prevailing am *ng them. This circumstance whs nt-
trihuied by our men to a want of other kind* of nnunii-
nifion. but it i* known Hint they have acquired lead
enough from the various sugar houses ih-y have des
troyed to Inst them many years. No wonder the savu*
ges thought this little baud in league with the devil, to
ho aide to withstand a force which foiled mid defeated
General Scott. Tho bravery displayed by this little
hand of heroes, is as extraordinary wsthe cold blooded
indifference which could thus abandon them to their
fate.
