TOIIOPEXA.

DIshonor, horror, fear and mutiny,
Shall here inhabt and this land be calFd
The field of Golgotha and dead mems sculls. |
| Tohopcka is the Indian name of thai
bend IN the Tallapoosa river, where til
United States troops underline commaue
of General Jackson, the 9th ofJan|
uary 1913, gave the finishing stroke tf
the war with the Greeks. This mem
orable place lies few miles north q
DadevilIe, The seat of justice for the
county Of Tallapoosa in the state OF
Alabama.
None who should see this bend would
doubt the propriety Of the Indians
having selected it as strong hold, in
which to make last effort against the
federal forces; for certain it was, if they
could erect no citadel of safety in this
great natural fortress, in vain could the
unfortunate race hope to find, or erect
a castle of defiance elsewhere.
The Horse Shoe Bend is made by a
circular turn of the river to the south
forming peninsula, with an area ofone
hundred one and a half acres.
The neck of this encircled tract is
three hundred and fifty yards wide;
across which the Indians had erected a
bulwafk; principally of pine logs, leav-
ing but one place of entrance, and a
double row of port holes. Two hun
dred yards in front ofthe remains of this
breastwork, arise an oval eminence
upon which the artillery Of the United
States army was mounted when the
battle at this place occurred.
The troops under general Coffee
were placed on the opposite side of the
river encircling in the measure, the en-
tire Horse Shoe Bend. The troops
under Gen. Jackson, soon after the at
tack, advanced upon the breast work
and scaled its ramparts. Upon this,
the Indians, driven back, endeavored
to conceal themselves amongst the
shrubs and bush within their forti6ca-
ton. From this position they were
soon driven, when, determined not to
surrender, many of them leapt down
the precipitate banks, which were over
hung with trees, and there concealed
themselves. A number ofthem, how
ever, had taken position behind the
bursh at the west end of the artillery.
followed by spirited charge, they were
soon effectually dislodged.
Whilst the battle was progressing in
front of the line, the forces under Gen.
Coffee were performing the most effect
ual operations on the opposite side of
the river; night, however, came on.and
the few of these unfortunate beings. who
had escaped the carnage Of the day.
were enabled to make their exit under
the cover of darkness. Thus is DOR.
trayed a limited and imperfect outline
Of the battle ofthe Horse Shoe.
