is, however, satisfactory to add,
that the Indians were beaten, seve-

letter from Captain Woodruff, of the

E" OCTOBER 1, 1919.
81 have scarce time to inform you,
colonel Newman, with detachment
of Georgia volunteers to the number
Of117 men, had an action with the
Indians last Sunday, within a few
miles of Lochawayt town. Theirnum-
bers were, at least, equal to New
mans. In their first attack, which
Alexandria gazette, commercial and political. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1812-1817, 1812-10-23

commenced at ten o'clock and lasted
until three o'clock in the evening
Newman repeatedly charged them s.
they as often retreated. A little af.
ter sunset, another attack was made.
but Eve platoons soon put an end to
that. His situation is truly crit.
cal one; his wounded will neither
permit him to advance or retreat.
"He has sent to colonel Smith
for assistance. which, I fear, can
not be given him in time. Captain
John Williams expired yesterday
God bless him)-he was brave 4
honest man."
"Other letters are in town which
state, that 80 Indians were found
dead on the field Of battle, and a.
mongst them Pain, their king.
Newman, is said, to have one kill.
ed and ten wounded"
Anotherletterfrom the same place
the same date says" We have lust
received a letter from Col. Smiths
camp on St. Johns stating, that DR..
Caldwell and Capt. Whitaker, had
Just arrived there from colonel New
mans quarters, who was at the lower
Indian town, with about 100 men.
and stated, that on Sunday last the
Indians met colonel Newman, with
about an equal number, in the pine
woods, and had an engagement and
that Newman had one killed and Sc
ven wounded. The Indians left Sc
ven dead On the field, and carried all
they could away.
About sunset, on the same day.
the savages renewed the attack, with
aE0mt double the number and fought
until night.
The two messengers above named
did rot know the result, having been
dispatched, that night, to col. Smith
for men, horses and provisions which
were Fastening on.
/ hone for the best: hut fear that
col. Newman. with his little band of
brave heroes, will be in a critical ST.
tuation, unless timely succors are re-
ceived.
Other letters, in town, place the
intelligence above mentioned, so far
as relates to our troops having had a
battle with the Anglo Spanish In
dians beyond the possibility Of a
doubt.
