several oshcr gonners, from 81. Louis,

On receiving a message from Scott, ten
miles back that he was advancing on tie
enemy, but il being night, and their men
completely exhausted, and the rebels re-
ported strongly iatrenched 1T the thicket,
impossible except by a narrow road,
further attack was postponed until next

was made BY the combined forces.
But arriving at Blue Mills they found
lie enemy had crossed the river before

ton.
