Grande from Texas with 1000 men to
seize or capture the government posts
on the river. He arrived opposite Fort
Craig on the 21st. General Candy com
manded at the fort. A part of the
garrison, which numbered 1000 men,
sailed out, crossed the river and drove
the enemy from his chosen positions.
At o'clock the victory seemed to hang
over the Union banners. In despera-
ton Sibley sent two storming parties
against Canby's flanks. The stormers
were on foot, armed with shotguns,
squirrel rifles, revolvers and lances.
On the Federal right Halls battery,
supported by Colonel Kit Carson's dis
mounted cavalry and a battalion Of
regulars, drove back the stormers with
fearful slaughter. but on the left there
was another story to tell. Captain
Alexander McRae's battery formed the
chief element of strength on that flank
1t was manned by regulars and de-
Tended until every horse and half the
cannoneers had been shot down.

Carson commanded the First New
Mexico cavalry, and the same charac-
teristics distinguished him in the army
that he displayed in the exploring and
hunting camps. He attacked Sibley's
men boldly and was gaining the day
when sudden orders came to retreat
across the river. In his report Carson
offered no protest, but simply said that
