The campaign fir this sea on is said to h*
at an end. Gen. Hampton’s army is at
Plattsburg, where they are to take up win
ter quarters. Gen. VVilkinso \ army is at
the French Mills, near St. Kegis, about 2J
itnies from the Four Corners, Cliateaiigtiy,
! and arc building huts for wimer quorum.
The army under Cirn. Wilkinson has hnd a
severe engagement with the enemy, which
followed them from Kingston and Pre cott*
they weie attacked in the rear, iu or near
Cornwall. The enemy were three times re
pulsed at 'he point of the bayonet, and final
ly retreated, leaving the Americans on the
field The number killed on either side is
not correctly ascertained : i mu«t however
have been great, as in one in.st nee it is said
the charge was contended from twaive to
fourteen minutes.
