From the 6th to the 9th there was no firing. Flags of tiuce passed and repassed between the two armies. An exchange of prisoners 4** took place. The Kentucky militia, taken at Dudley's defeat, were to be sent to Harrison, In order to return home by that route. On the morning of the 9th the enemy commenced their retreat down the river, after having Been before the place 1 3 days, during which time he had fired at the works, 1800 shells and can- non balls, besides keeping up an almost con- tinual... discharge of small arms. The Ameri- can loss during the siege in the fort and in the diiferent sorties on this side, was 72 killed and 196 wounded. The loss of col. Dudley's de- tachment was about 200 killed and missing That of the enemy was about equal. One reason why our troops did not sustain a greater loss in the fort, was because the men had contrived a kind of bomb proof retreat all along the ditch immediately behind the pickets. They "would watch the enemy's fire and knew when to squat into their hiding pla- ces.
