1t is sufficient to our present se simply to relate,
that her midshpman fell in the earIy part of the en-

She betrayed very little emotion His name was never
afterwards named in the family, AMI all allusien to the
battle, carefully avoded and though she attempted to
appear cheerful it apparent that despair was prey

johnson taken prisoner, by six persons from Coles,
Vermiilon, and Fayette counties. From the dis

together to carry on their depredations upon sos
