battle lasted upwards of three hours;
about 50 women and children were taken
prisoners, and many killed by accident
in the battle.
When the Indians Were driven to the
bank of the Mississippi, some hundreds
of men, women and children plunged in
to the river, very few, however, escaped
our sharp shooters. The loss of the In

they must have lost at least L50 our loss
killed and wounded was 27. A prisoner
states that while the battle was warm,
Black Hawk stole off and went up the
river on this side. If he did, he took no

of them were found on the battle ground,
together with certificates of good cha

the Hngerstown Mail has received letters
and papers from Galena, Illinois, up to
the 3th of August iuelusive, which pivc
interesting accounts of two Indian battles.
The last battle was fought on the after
noon of August 2d, with the troops un
der Gen. Atkinson, and the Indians un
der Black Hawk. Our troops had cros
sed to the north side of the Wisconsin
river at Helena, on the 2oth and 29ih Ju
ly, and by a forced march of four days,,
leaving baggage and wagons behind,
overtook them near the Mississippi river.
Gen. Dodge's squadron was honored
with the front Gen. Henry's brigade,
and Gen. Alexander's next, and Gen.
Posey's formed the rear guard. On the
2d August, Gen. Dodge with 20 volun
teer spies, went ahead of the whole army,
and after going five miles discovered the
enemy's picket guard. Intelligence was
quickly conveyed to Gen. Atkinson
then to all the commanders of brigades,
and the speed of the march was instant
ly increased. In a few minutes the firing
began about 500 yards ahead of the front
troops, between the spies and the Indian
picket guard the Indians were driven
back to their main body on the bank of
the Mississippi river who seemed deter
mined to defend themselves there, or die
on the. ground. To prevent retreat up
or down the river, Gen. Atkinson order
ed Gen. Alexander aud Gen. Posey to
form the riiiht wins of the army, and
march down to the river above the Indian
encampment and then move down. Gen.
Henry formed the left wing, and marched
in the main trail of the enemy. The U.
S. infantry and Gen. Dodge's squadron
of the mining troops, marched in the
centre. Our whole force descended the
steep bluffs, and came into a low valley
heavily timbered, with a large growth of
under brush, weeds, grass, &c. Sloughs,
deep ravines, logs, &c. afforded the In
dians every facility to make a strong de
fence. Gen. Henry first came on them and
commenced a heavy fire, which was re
turned by the enemy, who were routed
from their first hiding places and sought
others. Gen. Dodge's squadron and the
U.S. troops soon came into action, and
with Gen. Henry's men rushed into the
strong defiles of the enemy, and killed
all in their way, except a few who swam
across a slough of the Mississippi, 150
into, and run down several ot their rait
and drowned, shot and took prisoners,
about 300 Indians. Generals Dodge and
I , ' ,r came up immediately to whom
the Warrior gave up her prisoners.
Since the above was in type we have
received Gen. Atkinson's official report
to the Department of War, which corro
borates all the principal facts stated.
The American forces amounted to 1,300
men number of Indians unknown.

Land for Sale.
I OFFER FOR SALE,
800 or 1000 Acres of Land,
TT being the Land on which I now live, silua
ted in the county of Warren, and immediately
between the towns of Halifax and Warrenton,
21 miles from the former, and 14 from the lat
ter mentioned places, which is quite a healthy
section of country, being well watered for man
or beast, and has upon it a small newly built
Dwelling House, with other necessary houses.
As it is presumed no person would purchase
before viewing, it is deemed useless to say mora
than the Land in point of soil and production is
not inferior to any in the adjacent section of
country off from the river, and besides other con
veniences, its proximity to the Roanoke naviga
tion and entrance to the Virginia Kail Road,
should make it desirable with purchasers. As 1
am prepared to meet the sacrifices neces-ary to
be made to effect a sale of Land, I have no doubt
purchasers would be pleased with my terms; I
invite all persons wishing to purchase to give me
an early call, as from delay a bargain may be
lost. 1 have other small parcels ol Land in the
county of Warren 1 wish to sell also, a tract of
175 acres in the county of Granville, all of which ..
I will sell upon the most accommodating terms.
