cealed since their capture, dangerously
wounding four of the guard, of whom one
has died and another is not expected to
recover. The main guard rushed out OF
the guard-house upon hearing the firing
and upon ascertaining the cause and seeing
the fleeing hostiles running for the bluffs
Immediately followed, and, opening fire,
shot and killed over forty savages. Over
one hundred and sixty of the cavalry,
mounted and dismounted, are still in pur-
suit of the fleeing savages The sharp bang
of the carbine in the hands of our men can
be heard from the hills, three miles distant,
where the savages have evidently made for.
1t is thought not one of them will escape.
