pIcating, laid down their arms without 6dng. 4.
Others threw down hats, guns, etc, and com
msnced the switest race FOR their lives. APgI-
ton Of our boys followed them Tor fifteen miles.

race he ran among about twenty and scattered

one who showed Sight Capt. Balentiue gal
1 lsnty engaged him with the sabre One maI.r. g
three captains, and one lieutenant are among .
our prisoners. We also captured sixty-four :
horses, two wagons and teams, and C quantity
Of equipments and small arms, Il was a matter I
Of sstonishment that their aTus aud equipments ,
were not superior to ours.
