Gaines approached within four or five miles of Fort Drane —took eight days provisions, and returned to the Ouchla coochee, for the purpose of discovering , whethe r any Ind ians wereon.the prowl. On arriving at ttra’Tst'ream his passage was disputed by a body of savages amounting, it is surmised, tofifteeri hundred—a fight commenced across the river, which although narrow is deep and rapid—-and continued two days, neither party gaining apy mate rial advantage. The third day Gen; Gaines retired, and threw up a breast work—after w hich he advanced to the river with two hundred meh, recom menced the skirmishj and then fetrea - ed with a hope of deceiving his enemy, and decoying them into an ambush. After dark on the same day, the entire body oflndians;now largely re-inforced by the arrival of scattering squads, crossed the and had the bravery to attack him in his trenches. The stratagem was; then successful—the cannon opened upon them, and played tvith such effect , that it is presumed three hundred Indians and Negroes were killed. Isay, presumed as it is not known whether that number wag . destroyed in the single engagement or in the entire rencontre. When the cannon opened, the savages began a .“terrible howling,” and no wonder", for lam told that all the trace chairig belonging to the waggons were tfsed instead of balls, and literally mowed them down like grass beneath the scythe# Two of our officers were wounded in that engagement—one of whom, it is understood, has since sent into Clinch for provisions; but afterwards counter manded the order,as the Indians would capture the waggons. He is under stood to be surrounded. His provision® must be gone—-and unless a reinforce ment has been sent by Scot!/his fate, and that of his gallant army, are sealed.
