So we all struck- alight immediately and moved for the trail-r-then to foUow it until we°came upwithfeered sticks, sfio who should stand and who should run, they or we. One half of the army was sent down on the south side of tho swamp; while the rest oi us crossed over aud camped in about five miles of tiie Indians’ camp.

Every man gave the war whoop I believe tn the whole lino, and rushed like red dragons and determined spirits to conquer or die. The charge was through a cj press pond, the trees and cyprcssknees were thick as corn growing n the: field,.tfc die water was from ankle deep to swimming. When we got to the imun creek several of our men had to swim and others trom waist to breast deep; and, as I have often heard people say, the way the bullets hit tho water, trees and cypress knees was die waj - Sure enough, now the place began to get pretty open-s d keep- m<mp tho veil and.rushing, crying, ‘victory boys, or death touaj. All exposed to a galling fire of the red rascally savages, who had no mercy at all. And at the very timeol our being m the deep water. Col.
