some families who were in danger Of falling into
the cneny's hands Upon their arrival at the Mis-
sion they were met and attacked by large body

ed fight, retreatcd in orderly and iudirious man
ncr TO the church, where they sustained themselves
against very superior number of Mcxcans and
Indians with but small loss TO themselves, but
vcre loss TO the enemy, until relieved by the
Georgia battalion under Colonel Ward, who had
been to their aid The separation of our for
ccs caused us to delay retreat. An express

back and join the forces at Goad with all posi-
bic despatch,or should ne be cut of by the enemy
