He then crossed the bridge and hastened through the creek ham mock, upon the edge of which be again received tne salutation of bis friend Tuatenuggee from both aide of the road. . Here the force and attack of the enemy wa tremendous their yell hideout and terrific. Two men killed and one wounded, Toll in their track, but the balance riised the war thout; and returning the fire with the utmost courage, three oi tour of the red skins were teen to fall, and those in front gave way before Ihe little band of soldier. -Thejnd'tni now collected in the pine bar rent and skirt oi the hammock, but hot being able to retain their position, were . driven from tree to tree and from bush to bush for a mile and a half, when they gave it up and returned into Ibe bain mock. At one time, during thit last attack, the Lieutenant much feared Ihey would all he an nibilated, but ibe cheering, the coolness and the bravery of the little band, wa unlooked for by To, lenuggee'a warrior. This gallantry wat worthy of a nobler 6!d. A an instance of Ihe coolness here displayed, Private Lane, during tho heat of the engagement, finding his gun missing fire, was seen to drop upon hit knee, and taking out hii screw driver removed the old Bint, and inserting a new one, recommen ced firing more to hi satisfaction. Fort Homes, F. F-, March 3. You are aware, I believe, that Gen. Ariuieiead baa 3S0 men, women and children, in at Tampa, who are to embark for Arkansas on or before Ihe 10th iot. They are eloaely guarded night and dav by a company of Infantry and half a company of DrazooD. so that they cannot escape. Two tried it, and were ahot down and biyonetted ono killed instantly, and the other died irom bia wounds. If Gen. A. gel these Indiana ofl, aa I have no doubt he will, it will be more than hat been done for ma ny a day. 1 approve moat cordially of hit plan and think if thoroughly aeconded, would euceeed better than any tbui far tried; but I am mil of the opinion, that both on the tcoie of economy and humanity, a force of at least 20,000 men thould be tent here.
