Great Battle TN the Indian Country
st. Louis, Mo. Argus contains the following
notice of recent event in the Far West -
Large numbers of Indians, negroes, and
mongrels, from Florida, have been placed
upon the borders of Arkansas and Missouri.
BY a gentleman direct from Fort Leaven-
worth, we learn that some 600 negroes from
Florida, and runaways from the Choctaws
and Cherokees and from the whites, united
with few Indians, and perhaps few white
men, have been gradually associated in the
businesses west of Arkansas. Not long since
they marched high up Red River and camped
tor the purpose of hunting buffalo. They
built very tolerable fort with logs, surroun-
ded with ditch to protect themselves against
all dangers. They caught but few Buffalo,
and therefore to supply their wants, invaded
the possessions of the Choctaws and carried
Oil cattle, poultry, gyain, &c. The Cnoctaws
followed them, but finding their numbers and
Notifications an overmatch, they retired and
sent to Fort Gibson for the u. S. Dragons.
Capt. Moore, of Company ID. was sent to
capture them with three companies of Dra-
goons, but after arriving upon the Red River,
ne found their entertainments too strong and
their number too great to venture an attack.
lie accordingly sent TO Fort Towson and was
re-enforced with fine company of infantry
ana couple OF pieces of cannon.
ne cannon were shortly brought to bear
upon the works, and soon made the splinters
lily and the logs move so gueerIy, that the ref
ugees, at signal, rushed outside of the for-
tifications and began to form upon the Prai-
RE in front Of their works. Ere thew fully
succeeded in doing so, Capt. Moore and his
gallant Dragons charged upon them at full
gallop.
The carnage that ensued is represented as
terrihc-and the Dragons routed them in all
directions, and after putting large numbers to
the sword, succeeded in capturing The whole
