TIE INDIAN FIGHTs-ADpITIoNAL Pad
TIcULARs.-From DR.. G. A. Cutler, Indian

fuller particulars in regard to the recent de-
feats of the Union Indians.
The rebel Indians were commanded Ly
Albert Pike and Mcintosh. The last fight
was on the border of Cherokee county our
men were badly whipped, and q number of
womeL and children were killed The
enemy had artillery, we bad nonerand our
defeat was chiefly attributable to this fact.
There are now about four hundred q MON
Indians at Fall river and in deplorable
condition; hundreds more are daily expect
ed there. Taylor is the Chief at Fall river.
They have no provisions and are poorly
clothed. The guns used by them are of the
poorest kind; and they had very little am
munition.
Opotholoyerho believed that John Ross
betrayed them. The Union Indians were
twice attacked when on the camping ground
selected by Ross; the third time it was as-
termined not to take his advice and tney
were not attacked.
The rebels burned all the wagons anc
grain of our men, and shot the cattle before
their eyes.
Semino.es, Cherokees, Greeks and Chicka-
saws were engaged in the fights on the
Union side. The settlers are now giving

The Charleston correspondent of the
Richmond Examiner, writing under date of
january 5, gives the following as the situa-
ton on the seaboard
All accounts seem to agree as to the fact
that the Yankee gunboats are admirably
managed. They raEge at will up and down
the little bayous of the coast, and their
rified guns are always served with great
precision. It was probably the considera-
ton of this great advantage, which the
enemy possess, that has induced General
Lee to fall back from the shore line of the
main, and to choose his position for final
stand about three miles from the Coosaw
river. The position of the hostile forces at
this time may be briefly stated as follows !:
The enemy, by means of his gunboats, holds
command of Broad river and ST. Helena
Sound, with all the interfering islands.
His troops also occupy the main and Just
opposite to Port Royal ferry, and can now
possess themselves, whenever they please,
Of the rest of the main shore opposite to
Port Royal Island making, in all, tract
of about six miles long and half mile
wide, Immediately bordering on the Coosaw
river. This tract has been abandoned al
together by the Confederate forces, which
have reeeded about three miles toward the
railroad, leaving strip of rice lands,
averaging two miles in width, separating
them from. the positions yielded to the enc

their own strength upon the land.
