On the morning of the 17th, ther infantry and riflemen, regulars and militia : were ordered to be paraded and jnitiii readiness to march pre cisely- at 12 o’clock. Gen. Porter with the Volunteers, Col- Gibson with the riflemen, and Map Brooks with the 23d and Ist infantry, and a few dragoon*.acting as infantry, were ordered to move from the extreme left of our position uponthc enemy’s ’ right, by a passage opened through the woods for the occasion,. Gen- M;!ier was directed to station his command in*the ravin?, which lies between Pore Erie and the enemy’s batteries, by passing them by.detach ments through the skirtk :of the wood—and the 21st infantry under Gen. Ripley was posted as a corps of reserve between the newbastions of Fotft’ Erie ; all under cover, and out of the vibwof'the enemy. >\hout 20 minutes before P. M. I found the left columns, under the command of Gen. Porter, which’ were destined to * turn the enemy’s right, within a few rods of,the isii iiitrencinuents. Hiey. were pri r tjered to advance and commence the action. Passing down the ravine, I judged from ‘the report ofpnusket ry that tlie action had commenced ron our left; ; I now hastened to Gen. Mgller and directed him to seize the /rhoment and pierce the enemy’s en trcncliyneMts between batteries No. ; 2 and'3. My orders were promptly . and ably executed. Within 3p min utes after the first gun’ was fired, batteries 3 and >2, the enemy’s line of entrenchments? and his two;, block were in our posse,- -’ X, v ■ ‘ ’feoon after, battery No; l was aban cloned by the British. The guns in each .were spiked by us or other . destroyed, and the magazine of a Not 3 was blown up. A tc w miivti tes before the explosion I had onfeVed up the reserve under Gen. Ripley. As he passed me at the head of his column, T desired him as be would be the senior in ad vance, to usee; tain as near as possible the situation ofthe troops in general, > and -to have a (tare that not more was hazarded than the occasion required : ’ that, the r object of the sortie effected* the troops would retire in good or deiv See. General Ripley passed ra: pidiy om—sobn after, I became alar med for Gen. Miller,, and sent an order for tlie 21st to hasten to his * , support towards battery No, Ist Co* lonel Upham received the ordef, aud advanced to the aid of Gen. Miller. Gen. Ripley had inclined to .the left,, where’ Maj. Brooks command was engaged, Avitfi a view of making f some necessary enquiries of that of ficer, and In the act of dbing so was wounded. By this time the object of the sortie was ‘ ad*./ complisned beyond my most san guine expectations. Gen. Miller had consequently ordered the troops on the right to-fall back—observing this movement, I sent my stall’ along the ! line to call in the other corps- s With in k few minutes they retired from the ravine, anti from thence camp, f Thus one thousand regulars ahd an equal portion oi nplitia, Tii one Jjour of close action blasted the,, hopes of the enemy, destroyed the fimti of fifty days labor, and diminished hhfeftective force iOOO men atleast.
