nuary 14. ISIS.
Stft-4n addition to my report of yesterday of a success.
fat attack ow the Durrell% of Karmen, Khan and treed
3lithismed, I am now enabled to give you a more correct
statement of that affair.

I marched at eleven o'clock, p. m. on the night of the 12th
instant foe the village of Amite, distant seven cosy, where
this body was at Iwo, p. a. ; the same day, about four
miles from camp, I observed two villages on tile about two
orris to my left, which led me to conjertore that the enemy
had left Ander (ignorant of their approach to our camp),
and were then committing their depredations. Keeping the
road to Antler, two miles farther, I was met by an Hircsr-
rah, whir informed me that the Hurrahs of the aforemention-
ed chief. were on my left shout three quarters of a eon, slid
that they would remain till near daybreak. At first 1 de-
termined to storm their camp, from the apprelietisiou they
might hear we were near at hand, and thereby wake off;
but on farther istqniring, I found that Colonel Adams hail
right Hi hs watching them, and so disposed as to afford
me intelligence in a quarter of an hour, should they r (Tare
to move. 1 therefore made the necessary arra..7,..iiients
(from the information I received) fur attacking thaw ramp
at day-break. At five o'clock, a. to we move; down in two
edemas of half squadron., with skirmishers of earl' at a
short distance on the flank of each column. The *stereos of
the left column is folly detailed in Captain K. unerly's letter,
who charged the whole Maly of the enemy in the moat gal-
lant style. I want word, to express the iiblizatiulis lam un-
der to this officer fur the assistance he &Corded she uu this
occasion.

A tole of about eight houilred men, not observing the i.ip-
Pr"arh of the right column, tied in its direction, and were
immediately charged by 11w skirmishers ler Cornet lkind,
followed by the right column. The right division, under
Lieutensnt Beckley, were detached in piirsuit, having the
left division as a reserve, snot which followed the psiriming
parties gee ems ; in this distance less than lao hundred
and fifty were slain, and on the return of the offieera engag-
ed in the pnessust (oa which duty my Staff Lieutenants
Hawke* rod Manley volunteered their service.), 1 had the
astsistartinis Is, learn 11131 at least an I WIN! number had been
destroyed, snaking she total of killed, at the must moderate
computation, one thousand.

The body attacked, from the ofetervation of my,elf and
officers, could not he less lb.'s) fair. n hundred. The spi-
rited exertions of every "(liter and ..o.4lirr ha. ineriird my
TIM onqualifici appruhatiuu. After a punnet of nincar.;l
or twenty milts. the detachment returned to head-qoarter.,
