FORT WINGATE, N. MEX., September 8, 1863.
SIR: I have the honor to report that, pursuant to Orders, Numbers 72, current series, from headquarters Fort Wingate, dated August 21, 1863, I left this post on the 22nd ultimo with 44 men of my company [C], First Infantry, California Volunteers, on our expedition against the Navajoes [sic]. According to instructions, I proceed to the Zuni villages with wagons; reached that place on the 25th, a distance of 75 miles. At Zuni, I left the wagons, extra animals, and stores in charge of a guard, consisting of Sergeant [Elias W.] Boone and 3 men, and started the next morning, 26th instant, with pack-mules for the Little Colorado, going via the Ojo Venado; reached the river on the 28th, the distance being about 65 miles.
The next morning started up the river, keeping well into the hills to avoid being seen. Having gone about 10 miles, saw a party of Indians on the river, perhaps 40 in number. We approached cautiously and unobserved to within about 2,000 yards, and seeing that, from the nature of the ground, it was impossible to get closer without coming in plain view, we made a run for them, but as they had not unsaddled their horses, they mounted and got off before we got within gunshot of them. We pursued them several miles, but to no purpose; they, being well mounted, soon left us in the distance. We then scoured the country for several miles around, and captured about 500 head of sheep; saw a few Indians, but failed to get within shooting distance. In the afternoon met and joined Captain Rafael Chacon, First New Mexico Volunteers, whom I deem the proper person to report the further proceedings of the expedition.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. P. HARGRAVE
Captain, First Infantry, California Volunteers.

J. P. Hargrave is no better and news from the sick room is that he is near death's door, and it is doubtful as to whether he can live through the night.
