Honored sir,—1 hasten to lay before your de-

battle fought with a band of Indians, consisting
of 70 warriors, and their women and children
From the best information that 1 have received,
they are a remnant ofthe hostile Creeks, who
on finding they could no longer be protected in
Florida, latel y applied to the Chicka-avv tribe for
land to settle on ; but, being denied, they formed
a resolution to fight their way through our settle
ment*, over the .Mississippi, where they’were
told by the Chickasavvs, they could get land. In
order to execute their design, they crossed the
rivers Alabama and Cahaba, and on their way to
the Warrior they ki led two white men and three
Chocktaws. On reaching this river, at a place
called Cornel’s settlement, they committed se
veral outrages on our citizens, and murdered
some of the family of a ,1/r. Hall. They then
steered their course for this place. Having re
ceived intelligence of their approach, on the 16th
inst. 16 of uur most enterprising men armed
themselves, and chose major S. Taylor and my
self to command them. We were joined i.y
captain Bacon and 14 men. Being thus united
we went in pursuit, and having met w ith their
trail, we followed it through swamps and cane
brakes, heretofore thought to be impenetrable, un
til we found where they had crossed the Warri
or, 8 miles below the falls. Alter crossing and
marching 4 miles through the most horrid swamps
and cane brakes, and being separated from capt.
Bacon’s command, we discovered the ene. y en
camped in a beaver dam, well fortified by nature,
there being a thick cane break on the right, and
high bluff on the left. They no sooner saw us
than thev raised a war whoop, and prepared for
action. We then gave orders to charge on them,
which was done with the spirit of true Americans.
