to an expedition lately conducted by tlio Adju

Attest HINES HOLT, CUrk.
Executive Department, Georgia, \
MilledgctiUe, 7th Nov. 1812. J
Mr. Speaker, and gentlemen,
Of the House of Representatives:
In coinplinnoe with your resolution of the 4th
inat. calling for information relative to an expe
dition lately conducted by the Adjutant General
of this State, against the Seminole Indians in
East Florida, you will herewith receive ii copy
ofa letter recently received at this Department
from Colonel Daniel Newnnu, which contains
all the official information I posaese. It is pro
per to remark that, as far as my knowledge ex
tends, the expedition referred to was a volunta
ry act of the officers and men who were engaged
in it. D. 1). MITCHELL.
New Nope, at. John's, Ort. 19,1812.
Dear Sm—I have now the honor of trans
mitting to Your Excellency an account of the
several engagements which have taken place be
tween the Lotchawny and Alligator Indians,
and tho detachment of Georgia volunteers under
my command. As the object of this expedition,
end the Views of the persons engaged iu it. have
been misconstrued, and misstatements, relative
to it# protraction circulated, I ask the indulgence
of Your Excellency to detail every transaction
from its coinuienceoient to its termination.
I arrived on the St. John’s, in obedience to
your orders, about tho J5th of August, with the
whole of my detachment, consisting [including
officers] of about 250 men, and with few on Uio
sick report. I immediately waited on Colonel
8mith, before Augustine, and received orders
dated the 2Ut of August, to proceed immediate
ly against the hostile Indians within the province
of East Florida, and destroy their towns, provis
ions and settlements. 1 then returned to the de
tachment upon tho St. John’s, and made every
preparation to comply with my ordei's, by des
patching purtius to procure horses from tho few
inhabitants that had not fled from the province,
in preparing packs nnd provisions, and Inking
every step which I deemed itecfcssary to insure
iucccss to tho onterprizo. In consequence of
tho sickness ofmysolfund nearly one half of the
detachment, tho period of our marching was dc-
luyod until the 24th of September; and when
just upon the ovo of departing, att express arri
ved from Col. Smith informing mo that his pro
vision wagons nnd escort was attacked by n body
of Negroes and Iudiaus.and ordering mo to join
hhniinmediately with 90 men,.and bring all the
horsesaud carriages 1 could command, for the re
moval of his baggage, field-pieces, nnd sick, ho
havingonly 70 iiieu fit for duty I marched to
the relief ofthe Colonel with 135 men and 25
horses, and assisted him in removing to tho Slock
llouso upon Davis' Creek This service delay-
ed for a Tew days our expedition to tho nation;
and when the dot ichinent again assembled upon
tho St. John’s, and wero about to commence
their march, tho men had hut six or seven days
to servo. About this time I received u letter
from Col. Smith, advising uio to propose to the
detachment an extension of their servico for 15
or20 days longer, as the timo for which they
were engugea was deemed insufficient to ac
complish, any object of tho expedition. This
measure I had contemplated, nnd fits sanction
by the Colonel mot with my most hearty appro
bation ; for 1 wus unwilling to proceed to an en
emy's country with a single man, who would de
clare, that, in any ovent, he would not serve a
day longer thou the time for which ho had ori
ginally volunteered. I accordingly assembled
the detachment, and after staling tho necessity
of a tender of further service, proposed that the
men should volunteer for three wocks longer;
when 84 men, including officers, stepped out
und wero enrolled, which, with tho uddition of
23 volunteer militia sent to my uid by Col. Smith,
and 9 patriots under the command of Captain
Cone, made my whole force amount toll7 —
With tltjs small body, provided with four days
provisions nnd 12 horses, I was determined to
proceed to the nation and give thoso merciless
savages at leant one battle; uud I was embolden
ed in this determination by tho strong expecta
tion of being suocoredby a body of cavalry from
fit Mary's, and which it has since appeared did
assemble at Colorain, but proceeded iio fuither.
On tho evening of24tli September, we left the
St. John's, in Indian filo, Cupt. .Humphrey'
company of riflemen in front, Cupt. Foil's com
pany, under tho command of Lieut. Fatuiin, in
the centre,and Cupt. Colomnu’s company, with
Cone's detachmout, under tho command of Lb
Broadnax,in the rour. A small putty marched
in front of the main body, and another in tho
reun the opeuuessof the country (except in par-
ticlar places) rendored it unnecessary to employ
men upon the right und left. Our encampments
of nights (there Doing threo companies) wus in
tho form of a triangle, with the baggage in tho
centre; the men with their clothes on, lying with
their foot pointing outwards, and thoir firelocks
in their arms. Iu case of un utluek, tho officers
were instructed to bring tip their companies up
on the right and left of the company fronting the
enemy, und attend to the iiidiuu mode oflight-
ing until ordered to charge. Iu case of meeting
the enemy upon our march, Humphrey’s com
pany was instructed to file off to the right, Forl'i
company to advance and form to the front itt
single rank, and Coleman’s company to file off
to the left; and the whole then to advance in the
form of a crescent, and endeavor to encircle the
enemy. On the morning ofthe fourth day of
our march, wheu within six or seven miles of the
Lotchaway towns, our advanced party discover
ed a body of Indians marching along the path
meeting us, and at the same moment they ap
peared to havo discovered us. As soon as I was
informed of it, 1 lost no time in giving the neces
sary directions for the companies to advance,and
obey the instructions which bad been previously
given to them, and which appeared exactly suit
ed to the situation in which we fouud tho ene
my- , As soon as Fort's company (at tho head
OFwluch I had placed myself) had advnnced to
its proper grouud, I discovered the Indians fall
ing back, and making every preparation for bat
tle, by tmilingitig thoirpapks, trimming their ri
fles, aud each nmu taking his place. Wo con
tinued to advance, wiring advantage of Uie trees
in our program, until we were within 130 yards
of Uie Indians, when many of them fired, and I
instantly ordered Uie charge, which drove them
from behind Uie trees, and caused them to retire
with the greatest precipitation; our uieu nil Uie
while firing At them, slew several, and by repeat
ed charges, drove them half a mile, when they
took shelter in the swerap. It unfortunately
happened (I presume thruiub luadvertence)Uiat
Humphrey’s company in fifing to the right took
'* ‘ ~ ~4 a small swamp be
up and down the swamp. The company,
however, was ( of service afterwards in prevent
ing the enemy, after their dispersion, from tn-
their baggage and
into our hands) or
iug upon Uie wounded, that had betn rant to
tho tear The action, including tho skirmishing
upon the flanks, Dated two hours and a half, the
Indians frequently atteinpUng to outflank us aud
get in our rear, but were repulsed by * the com
panies extending to tho right and left. We had
one killed and tune wounded,two of which have
since died of their wounds. The loss of Uie en
emy must have been conriderablo. I saw sev
eral fall to tho ground wiUi myowneyes.nmorijr
whom was their king, l'oyne; two-of them ft II
near the swamp, tho rest onr men had the curi
osity to scalp. The rifle company on the. right
and Broadnax's on the left, speak of killing sev
eral near the swamp, who were borne off. by
their comrades, it being a principal among Uie
savages to carry of their dead at the risk of lligir
lives. We remained on the battle ground watch
ing the movements of the Indians, who were
near the swaulp/paintiug themselves, and ap
peared to he id consultation, all of which indica
ted an intention to renew the combat. Accord
ingly, half an hour before sunset, having obtain
ed a considerable reinforcement of negroes nnd
Indians, from their towns, they commenced the
most horrid yells imaginable, imitating Uie cries
aud noise ofnlmovtevery animal of the fores!,
their chiefs advancing in from inn stooping ser
pentine uiunner, and making the most wild and
frantic gestures, nntil they approached within
two hundred yards of us, when they halted uud
commenced firing Our men were not to In
alarmed by their noise nnd yells, but as instructed
remained perfectly still nnd steady behind logs
and trees until Uie enemy by. this foiUearonce had
approached somewhat nearer, when a bri«k nnd
well directed fire from our lino soon drove them
hack to their original ground. 1 would now-
have ordered the charge, but beiug under (lie
necessity, from the extension of the enemy's line
of detaching nearly one hnlf ofiny force to pro
tect our camp and wounded (tho assailing of
which is a great object with the Indians,). 1 wus
left to contend with a force Uiree time# as nu
merous as my own. The action Wtod until 8
o'clock, when tho enemy were completely repul
sed in every attempt, wlieUier made iipoti oifr.
centre or flanks. We had two men killed and
one wounded; the enemy earned oft* several of
their men hufore it was dark—nfter which
all firing (of course, random) was at--the
spot from whence the Hash arose. Aftftr
fighting and fasting the whole dav, we
had to work throughout the night, nmf at day
light had a tolerable breastwork 6f logs mid
earth, with port holes, on the ground on which
the battle was fought. We were reduced to ibis
necessity, for in despatching Cnpt. Whitaker a-
bout dark to St. John's lor n reinforcement, six
more men took the liberty to accompany him;
taking with them our best horses; our pilot and
surgeon (who was sick) were among the tram-
boi. The two days succeeding the buttle, we
neither saw nor heard any thing of the enemy-
hut on the evening of the !hiru day, they com
menced firing at our work at a long distance,and
renewed it every day for five or six dnys, but
without killing or wounding any of our men
After killing two or three of.them through our
mrt holes, they seldom came within gnu-shut.
Seven or eight days had now elapsed since our
express hnd left us—hunger wus staring us in
tho face, und we were now reduced to the ne
cessity of eating one of. our horses; wo hnd no
surgeon to dress the wounded, und apprehen
sion* wero entertained that the enemy would re
ceive reinforcements from Aiiglimine or the
Miknsiikio'Iudiuus. Expecting rehefovery hour,
I was unwilling to leave onr breast works while
we had a horneleft to cat; but I understood from
some of my officers tlnU a certain Captain was
determined to lonve ns with* his company, and
that many ofthe men, giving up all hopes of re
lief, talked of deserting, in the night rather than
perish, or fall n sacrifice to the merciless negroes
and Indians, whom thoy were taught to believe
would surround us iu great numbers iu a few
dnys. In this trying situation, wheu our lew
remaining horses were shut down by tlu m, aud
tho nuinlu r of our sick daily increasing, I'reluc
tantly assented to leave our works that nij'lil.Uitd
directed tho litters to ho prepared to curry the
wounded. About 9 o’clock we coinmem-eil our
distressing march, carrying five wounded men
iu litters, aud supporting two or three more.
Wo hud not proceeded more thuh eight miles,
when the men became pcifectly exhausted•from
hunger and fatigue, and were unable to currv
the wounded any furtlior. About two hours af
ter we left our breast works, 27 horsemen, with
provisions, arrived to out rescue, on a different
road from iliuone we liad taken; lint from mo
tives best known to themselves, instead of fill-
lowing its, returned to St. Julius, uitd we were
left to encounter now difficulties; two men that
I had despatched on tho path the horsemen came,
by some means or other missing them. We a-
gain constructed a placo of defence, ami I des
patched scrjeaiit-miijor Keese with one private,
toPicoInta, to learn wlrnt had occasional] tliede-
lay of eur expected supplies, anil told him I
should remain where I was until I could hear
from him, mid endeavored to procure cattle, as
we discovered signs of their being near us.
The evil genius of Captain again pre : .
vailed,nnd I have since .learned front Captain
Cone, thnt this person instigated not only him,
hut many of the privates to urge a departure
from our vVorks even in tire day time, when 1
was convinced that the Indians, knowing our
weak Situation would endeavor to ninbuscnde.

o’clock ill the afternoon. I had directed the
adj’t. Cuptaiu Hardin, to march in front, to a-
void all places where there could he an ambus
cade, and the filters should be distributed among
the d itfe re nt companies. Being extremely
weak I niarelied in tho roar with Captain —
(who carried my firelock) Limit. Fannin, niidn-
bout 15 or twenty privates. Wo Imd scarcely
marched five miles before the front of the de
tachment discovered tho heads of several Indi
ans on both sides ofthe path, from among ftov
oral pine trees that were laid proeirnte by the
hurricane; the same instant,Uio enemy fired up
on the advanced party, and. shot down four of
them, one u Spaniard,died on the spot; upd two
survived a few duys; my negro boy was one of
them. The moment 1 heard the firing I order
ed the detuclqncnt to charge, and Uie linkups
were completely defeated in (iftocn minutes,
many of them dropping thoir guns, and'the
whole running off without over'attempting to
rally. Four were left dead on Uio field, and I
am convinced from the constant fire wo kept
up, that many more mufct have been slain, but
were hid from our view by the thick and high
Palmetto buNheff. We lay on Uio battle ground
nil night, and started next day nt 10 .oxUock,
marched five miles nnd again threw up hrennt
;too great a circuit, got a

John's with all our sick and wounded, whore ii
gun-bout by the direction of Col. Smith wus iu
waiting for us, which conveyed us to lire camp;
where we met wiUi every attention that human
ity or benevolence could ; bestow. I cannot* re
frain from here expressing the high sense of the
care and anxiety which Col. Smith hus mani
fested for the detachment under my command,
and lift promptitude iu affording every aid in
Ins power, when npnriked of our, situation.—

SCROFULA AND MERCURIAL
. DISEASES.
'TillPPE'S Concentrated Sarsaparilla, for the
• cure of Scrofulous, Mercurial, Syphilitic, and
diseases, which depend upon a Scrofulous habit
FOR LIVERPOOL,
The fine packet ship NIAG-
.fsdi ARA. Pike, master, will com
mence loading Tomorrow for Liv
erpool, nnd meet with despatch.—
„ prepared by a new process, without boiling,
je. and is warranted to contain, iua concentra
ted form, the active principles of the root, ob
tained from tho most approved species ofsmilux.
Its efficacy hus been repeatedly tested iu pri
vate practice in the successful treatment of the
worst forms of the disesses,for the cure ol'wldch
Sarsaparilla is recommended, nfter other pro-
E nrutions of tlint medicine, the Panacea, Ao.nnd
eeu used without effect. A number of cases
of extensive.ulcerations, and affections ofthe
bones, in simple Scrofula, and in mercnriaLaiid
syphilitic diseases, have been permanently cured
hy its use in' three months, without any oilier
treatment, except th? most simple applications
to the parts diseased. A trial of two or'three
bottles, in similar cases, will prove the efficacy
and importnuco ofthe preparation.
It has been found particularly useful after cal
omel, where that medicine has been given too
freely in scrofulous habits,or in the cure ofacer-
tain disease. It is admirably calculated^ in such
cures, to remove ull disease from the body, and
restore the usual Vigor ofthe constitution; aud
may be taken with safety and advantage when
the system is roeicurialized. The use of one nr
two bottles, on ordinary occasions of thejond,
will prove an otfcctual security against second
ary diseases; and, in recent casos, Will effect a
perfect cure, nfter three or fonr doses of calo
mel,of five or eight grains oneb, night and morn
ing, have been token, followed by salts, and the
usunl local treatment.
