of the hostile Indians were assembled at Au
toSsee, a town on the southern bank of the
Talapoosie, about Is miles ii ON the Hicko
ry Ground. and 20above the junction of that
river with the Coosa, proceeded to its at
tack, with nine hundred and fifty of the
Georgia militia. accompanied by between
three and four hundred friendly Indians
Having encamped within nine or ten miles
of the point of destination the proceeding c
vening, we resumed the march few min
utes before ore On the morning of the 29th,
and at half after six were formed for action

and Meriwether's, under Lieut. Hendon,
were onthe Flanks-Captain Thomas's Ar

1t was my intention to have completely
surrounded the enemy by ahhuyinS the
right wing Of my force on Canleebse Creek,
at the mouth of which ! was Informed the
town stood, and resting the left on the river
bank below the town; but to our surprize,
as the day dawned, we perceived second

chapged-three companies Of Infantry ON the
left, were wheeled to the left into ccheiio1,

by Meriwether's Rine Company and two
troops Of Light Dragons under the eom~
mand Of Captains Irwin and Steele.
The residue Of the force approached the
