GREAT BATTLE IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY.
Large numbers of Indians, negroes and
mongrels from Florida have been placed
upon the borders of Arkansas and Missou- |
ri. BY gentleman direct from Fort Leav- |
enworth, we learn that some 6OO negroes
from Florida and runaways from the Choc-
taws and Cherokees and from the Whites
united with few Indians, and perhaps
few white men, have been gradually asso-
ciating in the Businesses west OF the Arkan-
sas. Not long since they marched high up
Red River and camped tor the purpose OF
hunting buffaloes They built very tole-
BILE Fort with logs, and surrounded with
ditch, to protect themselves against all dan,
gers. They caught but few buffalo, and
therefore to supply their wants, invaded the
possessions of the Choctaws and carried OIL
cattle, poultry, grain, &c. The Choctaws
followed, but finding their numbers and for.
tifications an overmatch, they retired and
sent to Fort Gibson for the U. States ORA
goons.
Capt. Moore, of Company d. was sent to
capture them, with three companies OF Dra-
goons, but after arriving upon the Red Riv-
or, he found their entertainments too strong
to venture an attack. He accordingly sent
to Fort Towson, and was reinforced with
fine company of infantry, and couple OF
pieces of cannon.
The cannon were shortly brought to bear
upon the works and soon made the SPIN
tiers fly and the logs move 50 queerly, that the
refugees, at a signal rushed outside of their
Notifications and began to form on the prai-
RE in front of their works. Ere they fully
succeeded in doing so Capt. Moore and his !
gallant Dragons charged upon them at full
gallop. The carnage that ensucd is repre-. |
sented as terrifc-the Dragons routed
them in all directions, and, after putting
large numbers to the sword, succeeded i'll
capturing the ,chole body! The conduct of
the Dragons is represented as worthy of
all commentator as regards both skill and
bravery. The bravery and numbers OF the
refugees availed absolutely nothing against
the Irresistible charge Of the mounted ORA
goons.
This decisive blow will give security to
that exposed portion of our frontier and
convince the refugee negroes and Indians
that our dragons may not be trltled with.
The loss of the Dragons was known to our
informant-he said an express brought the
news to the Fort.
