This command has followod tho confed
erated and hoMilo Indians for seven d iys

rapid murches and gaining steadily on
them till yesterday, when they turned and
made an attack, which was repulsed.
They rot ran tod to a stro-g position, dis
playing a force of about 500 warriors.
The troops had made extraordinary
efforts, and endured every privation, in
their energetic and rapid pursuit. In two
days they marched sixty-five miles.
They caiue up to the attack in splomlid
spirits, and without a halt went into tho
fight. Cavalry, artillory and infantry wero
all in, and tho Indians, who appeared very
brave at first, broko and ran in every
direction. Whenever they made a stand,
they wero charged and routed.
For 100 miles from Sweetwater to
Staked Plains, their lino of rotroat is
strewn with abandoned property and
broken down animals.
They burned their villagos during tho
flight. We have trailed small parties out
