Col. Willet moved from Fort Plain with about 300 levies. On the 22d of August he determined to at- tack the enemy in their camp. He detached 100 men under Colonel Harper to make a circuit through the woods and fall upon the enemy's rear, while he should attack them in front. A short distance above the Hall, Col. Willet was met by Ross with all his force, and his men on the first fire gave way and retreated. Willet endeavored to rally them at the Hall, but failed. At the village he succeeded in ...stopping them ; here he was joined by 200 militia just arrived. The de- tachment under Harper had gained the rear, and had now opened a fire upon the enemy. The attack was now renewed by Colonel Willet, and the enemy were finally driven from their ground with loss. Thirteen Americans, and seventeen British and Indians were killed. Major Ross retreated up the north side of the Mo- hawk, marching all night, after the battle. In the morning he was pursued by Col. Willet, but was not overtaken. The region of country over which Ross retreated after he had passed the settlements, lies twenty or thirty miles north of Fort Schuyler, and at that time was uncultivated and desolate ; his army suffered much from hunger.
