J. II. LARRIMER. THE BATTLE OF OPJSKANY. In the Snrini? of 1777. ilm L,l,r ki Indian chief Brant iuvadod New York i from Canada, with over five hundred :l warriors. Gen. Herkimer, who command led a smn'.l ami y of American troops, held ? a conference with Brant in an open field I near Unadilla, "and endeavored to treat I with 'he savages. His attempt 'vm un I -uccMsftil, and after a stormy council, du- ring which thelndians were vervinsultin '. i th two forces separated, and Brant join j ed tho British army, which, under the !jiumand of Sir John Johnson and Col. j John Butler, was organizing at Oswego, jj jirepuratory to an expedition against the j defenceless setilcments of the Schoharie ,4and Mohawk valleys. n It is a stain upon tho British charneter t (if such a thing is possible)that;both in the ; Kevolutionary war.and tho contestof 1812, , tho royal government hired savago butch- . ers to loilow kilieir armies into the field. Dating Indian outrage, many dreadful . massacres, con migrations and butcheries I, were instigated and allowed by British of ficers and British agents. On this occa sion the Indians were invited to a grand war least by the royal officers, and they then enlisted as enemies of the patriotic cause. The fort at Oswego wps crowded with the grim sons of the wilderness. They were furnished with the gay dresses, new arms and "fire water" in abundance, and before the council concluded thj great tribes of the six nations numbering at that time pcveral thouaund warriors, entered into a firm alliance with tho British, and theyagrood to fight until King (.corse had subdued his rebellions subjects. Each Indian was preseu ted with a gun, toma hawk, swiping knife, ammunition, a brass kettle, a piece of gold, and a suit of so let clothes. In this manner Emrlnnd i'V gaged her ssvago allies J It was a shameful bargain; but characteristic of the British Government, noted for its rapacity, cruel ty and faithlessness. Rumors of the British preparations reached the patriot settlements in Tvron jOounty, and Col. Ganesvoort, who com- imtvlodasmall, half-finished fortification known as Fort Schuyler, implored tho aid of Congress and the Stato of New-York. But at that period the American army had enough to do with tho forces of England in tho field, and congress could not afford mueh assistance. On tho first of August, J1T7;, over boventren hundred Britisirand ilndiuns, commenced their invasion, and oon appeared before fort Schuyler. Col. yJaiieivoort's forco numbered seven hun j'lred and fifty men, with a few small can nons They had no flag I But this latter l"...v.iu soon supplied ; shirts were cut (p tor white stripes and sewed upon tho yod lining of a cloak belonging to ono of itieofhcers, and it was thrown nroudlv ut to the forest wind.

Gen. Herkimer, a 1'iave old soldier rallied the militia of tho wrroundmg country, and was soon on hi V to relieve the garrison with a force of' ILL. . . nundred men. But younger men 1 euOeavoi-ed lo supersede him in command i T reproached him with being two cu- us, and liniillv rK- n. -m J' with being a coward and a tory. Cols. 1 ,vaiui i ans were loud m their taunts, t Gen. Herkimer calmly replied that he s placed in command as a guardian and father, and that troops should not bo 5 into unnecessary danger. According.1 ' he advanced with great caution ( tho time tolling thce who were so lx- to luce the Mian,v.t,ut 1- r....i .u... 1,1 .... a. I I 7 hl be th flmt to retreat. I" proaeii, and requested when he should 1 hear tlin aniin.l nf i i.- J upon the British camp. St. Legcr sent iu luuivl u some i lorward a strong forco to meet Ilc.rkimnr and formed nn ambuscade for his troops in a narrow deep ravine. It was about 9 o'clock in tho mormng, dark and sultry, when the relieving army entered tho vnl- ley. In spite of the General's instructions tho vanguard were very careless, or the ambuscado would Lave been discovered. Oncregimentof tho forco had entered the ravine, when Brant gave the signal, and his warriors, sounding tho warwhoop, poured iti a galling volley from their ri fles, and rushed forward; tomahawk in hand ! A portion of tho militia as Herki mer had predicted, instantly broke and fled to tho rear, but the General's divi sion boldly and firmly held their ground. Herkimer was instantly wounded, and Col. Cox and Captain Van Slyk kill. .1 at tho first fire. Herkimer was carried be neath a beach tree, where, boated upon his saddle, he calmly directed his men, and cheered them on. The militia fouilil '- ' ;oration, r- eeiving and givinj no ' i'- Tho balls flew like hail. mwHi.n o-- i war whoop rang shrilly through tho for est ; the patriots soon discovered that the Indians were watching until a man dis charged his gun ; then they would rush forward with the tomahawk and knife. To prevent this two militia men stood be hind a treo together, and fired alternately. While the fight was going on volleys of musketry were heard in the rear. It was a sortio from tho fort . No sooner did Col. Ganesvoort hear the roar of the buttle in the forest, than he ordered Col. AVilU-tt with two hundred men to fall upon the British camp. Col. AVillett execut-d his commission in a splendid manner. Like a thunderbolt his little forco burst upon St. Leger's encampment, and tho mon grel force of toiies and Indians, and the few regulars present, were scattered like chaff. Tho savages fled into tho forest, while St. Leger and Johnson brrcly esca pedthe latter without his coat. Twen ty one wagon loads of spoils arms, am munition, clothing, provisions, blankets, camp equipage, money, valuable docu ments and papers were hauled into the fort, together wilh'five British Standards '. Willett did not lose a man, and he was re ceived into the fort with loud cheers. Tho British colors were all hoisted upon tho stall', under tho rough American flag. Herkimer s men, greatly encouraged, at tacked the enemy with renewed vigor.and thelndians, having lost nearly ono hun- Ired warriors and several chiefs raised tho cry, "OwwiOonah!" (th0 shmal to re treat,) and fled deep into tho forest. The British soon followed, and, after a tPiiiblo battle of six hours, the Americans were left masters of the field. Tho patri ots lost one hundred and sixty men kil led, and near tho same nnmbcr wounded, iroiiius oumu prisoners. mo enemy s loss was mucli greater, though never ex i . 1 rni uuuy usceriiiineci. j no Indians were disappointed. General II erkimer died of his wound a few days after tlio fight. His army having no head, and being unable to reach tho fort, retreated. Smarting under a sovero lo -s, and mor tified at the sacking of their camp, St. Le ger's army attacked Fort .Schuyler with renewed vigor. Lying niessag--, to the effect that strong reinforcements were at hand, were sent by the royal commander to tho fort, coupled with threats of massa cre unless it surrendered. But Col. Gan sevoorte scorned every threat and over ture, continuing hisdefeneo in the bravest manner. Day after day the siege contin ued. St. Leger began to approach by re. gular parallels, and employed the sap and mining system. With great danger Col. Willett and Lieut. Stockwellsucce.Mled in passing the British lines, and hastening to General Schuyler, implored" aid for the be sieged garrison. In fact tho fort w - be coming straitonod, when suddenly tho enemy broke up their enmp and fled to wards Canada.

(In the 7th of April, I left Fort Vancouver with my Company, for Walla Malta, which I reached on the 28th of that month. I had only been here nlionl I 1 I... i . , . .

On the 7th inst. Col. Stentoc left Fort Walla Walla, for Colvillo and it-- vicinity, with the following troops : "C"' Company, 1st Drag. (Capt. Taylor and Lt. Wheeler,)' h Company, 1st Drag. (Lt.

They met us our crossing the Spokane ric: We tol them wc had come among them as friends, all lo no purpose ; and accordingly our command, on the morniiej of the 17th inst., at .S o'clock, was attactcd by this large force. The companies, for tho first three hours, were incessantly employed in charging the Indians and resisting their atiacks. The ground occupied during this part of the aciioii wad very favorable for the movements of Draenons. Thn fi.,l,i wfi almo..t hand to hand, and it is said by those who were not so particularly en gaged, that it was really grand such as we all have imagined might fake place un der the most favorable circumstances but nothing similar to which is known to the history of the Dragoon arm of our service. In this part of the action, Capt. Taylor and Lieut. Gaston were killed, whilst gal lantly leading their Companies; and also, two privates were killed. ( no of the pri vates killed was my attendant as gallant an old soldier ns ever wore auiiifoiin. The poor old fellow was shot at my side. 'Hie fight was very close, without much ad vantage to cither side. About 12 o'do.-k our forces were nsn-mbled on the summit of a hill, and the fight wes continu .1 un til 8 o'clock Pm. When on this hill, we were surrounded by hundreds of Im,!an made demons by the lo s of many of their warriors. They fought like white men. and proved themselves far superiar skir mishers.
