Pro. tern. of the Council [825) [STEVENSON to------] Guadaloupe Victoria, Oct. 11, [1835 l 1 have only time to inform you that on the night before last the company from Bay Prairie attacked and took the fort at Labahia; the action took place about twelve o'clock at night and lasted about fifteen minutes. There were two Mexicans killed and five or six wounded, and only one wounded on our side; although we were completely exposed to their fire for the greater part of the time. I am now on my way to head quarters, with 3 Mexican officers, taken prisoners, one colonel, one captain and . one lieutenant. There were twenty one privates taken prisoners, and about as many more escaped, all our men behaved bravely, I saw nothing like flinching on the part of any of us. The Columbia and Labaca companies will join us at Labadie this day. Dear Sir:-
