noitering this morning, William Ashley,

message saying that il he would put his
women and children in one place and let
me know where il was, nc shots should be
fired on them. l then returned to camp and
pushed on my advance parties,
who were heavily fired on. L
so pressed on until L saw
nv chance and ordered a general advance
The men responded nobly, splendldly led
by thier officers and Col. StraubenZie.
They drove the enemy out Of the rifle pits,
forced their way across the plain and seized
the houses. and we are now masters OF the

not like war. and if you do not retreat and
refuse an interview, the question remains
