which took place on the 10th inst., and a
letter from General Rusk, dated the 17th
inst., seventy-five miles noithwcst of Na

the Chcrogees, Caddoes and other Indians,
and the troops under the command pf Brig

HEAD QUARTERS,
Camp Carter, July 10, 1839.
Hon. Sydney Johnson, ,
Secretary of War.
Sir: On yesterday, the ncgocialion on
tilt; part of tho commissioners having tail
ed, under your order, the whole force was
put in motion towards tho encampment of
Bowles, on the JXechcs. Oolonol Landrum
crossed on the west side of the Ncches, and
marched up the river, tho regiment under
Colonels Burleson mid Kuslc, moved duect
ly to the Camp of Bowles. Upon reach
insr it. it was found to bo abandoned. Theii
trail was ascertained, and a rapid pursuit
made. About six miles above their encamp
ment, in tho vicinity of the Delaware vil
lage, at the head of prairie, they were dis
covered by the spy company, unnpr Uap
mill S. Carter, and a detachment of 25 men,
from Captain Todd's company, led by Gen
eral Rusk. The enemy displayed from the
point of a hill. General Rusk motioned to
them to come on, they advanced, and fired
four or five lime, and immediately occupied
a thicket or ravine on the lelt.
As we advanced, the lines were immedi
ately formed, and the action became gener
al; ' Tho ravine was instantly charged and
flanked on tho left by Colonel Burleson and
a part of his regiment; the rest of Colonel
Burleson's regiment waaled by Lieut. Col.
Woodleff. A portion of General Rusk's
regimenl.charged at the same time and a
liothcr portion took a position on a point of
a hill to the right, and drove a paity who
attempted to ll.ink us from that qnarter.
TIiuh instantly driving the enemy from
tho ravine, and thicket, leaving eighteen dead
on the field, that have been found, and car
rying off, as usual, their wounded, n-j was
seen by our men.
Our loss was two killed, one wounded
mortally and five slightly, wit : D. II. Rodjr-
ers. of Capt. Tipp's company; John Crane,
ot Harmons company; 11. r. Uronson, ol
samp; Hooper, H. M. Smith, and Ball, of
Burleson s company; James Anderson, ol

Col. Landurm was not able, having so
much further to march to participate in the
engagement, but has been ordered to join
this morning. All behaved so gallantly, that
it would be invidious to particularize. The
action commenced about h-ilf an hour before
sunset, which prevented pursuit. Most of
thpir baggage was captured,!! kegs of pow
der, 250 lbs; lead, and many horses, cattle,
corn, and other property
