The next day, after proceeding some sixteen miles, they came up with the advance guard of the enemy, consisting of cavalry, when a brisk fire was exchanged, the cavalry retreating. After the retreat of cavalry the battalion was immediately put in order of battle. The advance guard of fifteen men was led forward by Adjt. Clarke, proceeding along the road. Scouts were sent out on either side of the road to meet and repulse the sharpshooters of the enemy. The force proceeded in this order for about two miles, meeting the pickets of the enemy, exchanging shots with them incessantly, and driving them back with increased confusion at each charge. Being unable to ascertain the position of the rebels, the entire force halted for a few moments, and Colonel Piatt rode in advance and took observations with his glas

On the seventh instant, General Lee drove the enemy through Pleasant Hill, and encamped on a stream about eight miles beyond, toward Mansfield: after an obstinate skirmish, Colonel Clarke, an Aid-de-camp of the commanding General, joined me on the sixth instant, and visited General Lee on the seventh. General Ransom's command arrived at Pleasant Hill about two o'clock P. M. on the seventh, and General Emory's about five P. he column during the day, making the road so bad, that General Emory's train, after most strenuous exertions, could not be brought in until late on the morning of the eighth instant.

provided, he had the benefit of daily communication with Mr. Andrew Ellicot, whose experience in astronomical observation, and practice of it in the woods, enabled him to apprise Captain Lewis of the wants and difficulties he would encounter, and of the substitutes and resources offered by a woodland and uninhabited country. Deeming it necessary he should have some person with him of known competence to the direction of the enterprise, in the event of accident to himself, he proposed William Clarke, brother of Gen. George Rogers Clarke, who was approved, and, with that view, received a commission of captain. In April, 1803, a draft of his instructions were sent to Captain Lewis, and on June 20 they were signed in the following form: To Meriwether Lewis, Esq., captain of the 1st Regiment of Infantry of the United States of America: Your situation as secretary of the President of the United States has made you acquainted with the objects of my confidential message of Jan

This was all done before I had seen Colonel Coleman, and well do I remember the words of gallant old Mr. William Clarke, who remarked when I returned to the defences on the south side of the river that I seemed to be satisfied that we should hold the place against all odds, as I had by the disposition of our forces abandoned all idea of retreat and intended nemy under the command of Captain Marshall.

James Freeman Clarke. It was in their company that Margaret Fuller made the journey recorded in her Summer on the Lakes. Both were devoted to her memory. I afterwards learned that William Clarke considered her the good genius of his life, her counsel and encouragement having come to his aid in a season of melancholy depression and self-depreciation.
