We had with us many of the personal friends of the officers of Major Dade's command, and it is gratifying to be ab!c to state that every officer was identified by undoubted evidence. They were buried, and the cannon, aix pounder that the Indians had thrown into a swamp, was recovered & placed vertically at the head oftheyrave, where ilisto be hoped it w ill long remain.
