"'Yell Will be.,pleasekto inform Col. WALLACE,
that after a march this morning of about 16 miles,
We. came in sight of SOOPKERREXA'S party of, '
think, near t2OO horse, and four guns. They at
first put -en the appearance of, standing the charge,
but on our arrival within about 300 yards, they
broke and ran. After a put-Suit of between six and
seven Smiles, I have the pleasure to report the capture
Of fourguns, tumbrils, &c. and the greatest part of
their baggage.
" Ttieir to \s in killed and wounded I could not
ascertain, from the.o-reaf extent of ground they scat-
tered over, but I conceive it Must- have been con-
siderable.
`.This success I most attribute to the exertions of.
CaptaiftSt.nrsoN and the 2d Regiment of Cavalry.
From the rapidity .of our. march to prevent 'the
escape of those plunderers, the infiintry were left in',
the rear, hut I haVe every reason to be Pleased- with.
their extraordinary exertions to keeptip, in a -march.
of near twenty have to notice amongst the
