'f The 26th we arrived at Ssndulky, and the ayth, early In the Morning, we went to attack a little Village 4 Miles from the Place, where our Block houfo ufed to Band, on the Road to Fort Pitt but finding the Indians bad left it' fome Time before, we burnt and deftroyed their Huts or Log houfes, ten in Number, and their Corn Fields, found a few Packs of Beaver and to the Value of about 40. Pounds, York Currency, which we carried off, for the Benefit of Soldiers 1 as likewiiis fome Bear's Oil, and Indian Corn. i', 'f'i The.alth we eame to the River.

at Detroit, and proceeded up the fame in tbe Night and a little pail the firft Inhabitants upon the Weft Shore, we were fired at by fome Indians, in coming by a thick Fog too near the Shore We fired at them with 4 Swivels till Daylight 1 and then proceeded in the Middle of the River, thev, firing from both Sides till Sear the Fort we had 10 privates and I Gunner wounded, of them died fince, and fix more hurt, but get foon better. 31ft Capt. Dalxell went with a Party of about 150 Men, in hopes to a Party of Indians, who wen en camped about 3 Miles up the Weft Side of the River, wherefore we left the Fort about 1 o'Clock in the Morning, lb a to be in their Camp about Day break Jtwo Boats, in each of them were a Pacararo fixed, the of. Three Pounders, were to cover our Front and Rcy bat the Party marching too faft, without waiting for the intended tile of the Boats, found themfelvea fired upon by (as the Canadians fay about 300 Indians, about a Mile and Half from the Fort, behind Tort of Lines they had made of.

Dalcell, who tnea got a Wound ia bis Thigh, after a lecond Difchsrge of the Enemy, poftted over a upon the other Side of which, the Enemy lay, and drove them from their Port 1 but being, dark, Capt, Dalxell baited a little for to fee Day Light, and after fending of one of the arro'd Boats with the Dead and Wounded, I am told, ordered to retreat being foggy the Indians had a great Advantage, in going towards nor Rear, and other Polls, or fome Piles of Wood, our People were obliged to drive them from.

Tbey bed the firft fire on our Advance Party, which was forced back on our. Front, for fome Time) but aswedif pofed of the Party fo much to their Difadvantage, after Half an Hoar's hot Tiring', they were obliged to run; with confi. datable I killed two myfelf, and saw feveral others fall, by the good Behaviour of oar.

Men, John Clemons, Alexander Scott Jime Chambers, and James M'Lanachan, were killed in the Engagement, and four other whom we brought in with nt. We hid the Killed, fo that the Indian did not get on Scarp. ''We brought in four Scalp, and lulled at lead fix more of the Enemy, but did not think it prudent to follow and fcalp them, for fear, of fome of Indiana falling in with our wounded Men. We loft feveral Horfes." 1 In other Letters from Lancafter County it is faid, That the Indians were fcen dragging off feveral of their Dead and but that it was thought not proper to follow them too far, being io the Enemy 'a Country That tbe next Day our Party was attacked twice by the Indians, bat beat off without any Lofs I Tbat fome of our Men came to a Fire, where there were three Iodians, whom tbey killed and fcalped they bad feme Indian Oood with them That tbey brought in fome Rifles, and other Plunder, and were in high having beat' 50 Indian Warriors, notwithftandiog tbey bad the firft Fire at them 1 That if they met with proper Encouragement, tbey would immediately, go out again, againft tbe Enemy, who, it was thought, might return to' revenge their Lofs, having at leaft ten or fifteen of their Men killed 1 And that the Preventing that Party coming down at that Time on the Frontiers, muft hsve been a Service of tbe utmoft Confequenc to the Province as thereby a great Deal of Blood, in all probability, was prevented from being flied, and tome Hundreds of Families kept on their Places, which othetwife mull have been drove off. It is faid the Indiana fought all naked, and were pain tad Our Party, we bear, confined of 110 Men.
