lines, as follows: Captain Walker with his
company, and Lieutenant Bruten IN COM
mand Of the detachment from Capt. Carr
sons company, formed the right wing; Capt.
Tompkins with his command formed the CEN
tire; aud the volunteers under Capt. Beck
man. with Capt. Wards company, formed
the left wing under Lieut.. Col. Mills. On
arriving within thrce-quarters of n mile OF
the hammock, the spies reported Indians III
front; they immediately opened sharp fire
on the right wing and centre.
1.-THE Indians on the left, in considerable
force, made an attempt to turn that flank,
but were charged on with spirit and success
! by Lieut.. Col. Mills command and driven IN
ito 4 thick wooded oak scrub; then dismount-
ing and charging on them, drove them
through this into the border Of the hammock,
when the artillery played upon them with
considerable effect; after this they retired to
the right, and attempted to turn that wing,
but were charged with success by Captain
/ Walker and Lieutenant Bruten's command.
and again driven within range of the artillery,
which opened on them with great effect.

ton, and remained on it two hours and half,
then returned in the same order as the ad-
vance without seeing or hearing anything
more Of them. The action lasted one hour
and half; one hour OF which the firing wa.
