Head and agreed to. 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.

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.
