KILLED AND WOUNDED OF COLONEL EAsToN's COM.


MAND, &c, &C.


We have just received full and minute account
OF The late affair on the Arkansas-in which
several members of Col. Easlon's nd were
klIIed-furnished us by a volunteer of tho ST.
Louis battalion. 1t is dated fifteen miles below
Fort Mann. Arkansas river, July 24th. We con.
dense such portions as are at this time, of parii-
GUAR interest.


II seems that many of tho volunteers had been
very imprudent, in wandering off from camp, and
frequently in an unarmed state. While march.
lng up the valley of the Arkansas, it was found
necessary, occasionally, 10 cross to the south siue
tor wood In doing this, the men would observe
but little caution, although frequently reprIma nd.
ed for their carelessncss by their officers. On
the evening Of tho 2lst, somo twenty or twenty.
hive crossed over, and were rambling about in dis
order, when suddenly great humber of Indians
rose up from the grass. and rushed on them with
spears and lancos from all Sides As before stat E.
ed, eight were killed four wounded. The rest fed
across the river and escaped. One Of the killed
received his death wound after he had reac he'd the
bank. and other was wounded there. The lnd.
ans lost one killed and one wounded--both were
carried off The names Of the men lost were ms
follows:


OF Capt. Barnes company of Rangers, killed.
William Duncan. Francis Tnrco,t, Ludwick Tan.
ner, Jacob johnson, Valentine Regg, and Henry
Barlow: wounded severely and scalped, Benja.
min Frost. OF Caplaii Pau's company, killed,
PhiIander Porter and Charles Fuss; wounded,
Amizl Stanley, slightly, Michael McBride, and
William Warner--the Two latter severely.


The massacre Is described as the work of n mo-
ment. Immediately on hearing tho alarm in
camp, several Of the volunteers rushed to the
bank, and commenced firing a, the Indians and
crossing to the rescue. This no doubt, saved the
n'es oil many, and checked the pursuit.
