General Merritt’s Command Reaches ~ the Seat of War and Relieves the Beleaguered Party—Full Detalls of the Engagement on the 29th ult.— 'The Troops Made a Brave Stand and Fought Desperately—The Killed and Wounded. . * : ; ) CHEYENNE, Wy. T., October 8. A courier from the front brings the following from an officer with Payne’s command : BATTLEFIELD, MILK RIVER, Col., ) October 3—six p. m. | A courier will leave some time to-night, with dispatches, if possible, The Indiansstill surround us, and pour ‘in an effective fire tfrom a commanding bluff, at a distance of five or six hundied yards, having a cross-fire upon our position, which position was chosen hastily on the first day ot the fight. All our horses and all but twelve mules have been killed. We shelteréed them as best we could with wagons, but to no purpose. Captain Dodge and Lieutenant Hughes, with Company D, Ninth Cavalry, came to our rescue yesterday morning at daybreak, after a forced night march of thirty-five miles from Bear River. Cheer upon cheer rent the air from our trenches when it was ascertained who were coming. A lull in the firing enabled them to come in and shelter their horses as well as possible, taking’ to the fortifications %gickli; when the attack redoubled its fury. ad the ihei%hts been accessible, Captain Dodge would have charged them with his company, while we covered him from our ritlepits, but this was utterly im})ossmle, the ascent being nearly perpendicular. All that we could do during the day was to keep a good lookout from the loop-holes, and return the fire when any Indian showed his head. This, however, was a very rare occurs ;erlxce‘, as-the Indians have rifle-pits and loopOles ! 4 a 0 | ; i

Before dark every horse but three of Captain Dodge’s command was shot down. A very fortunate thing for us has been that the Indians have left us unmolested at night, with the exception of an occasional shot to make us scatter to our pits. - 'We have been able, at great risk, to haul off our dead animals every night: otherwise the stench would be intolerable. ‘ A sally is made every night for water, a distance of 200 yards from our intrenchments. Night before last Private Essir, of Company F, was shot if the face while out with a party atter water. The Indians were only a few yards away, and were driven off by a volley from the guard and trenches. : Captain Dodge brought us the cheering news 'that our dispatches reached Bear River safely, and would undoubtedly rea¢ch Rawlins. We have been counting the hours which it will probably take for relief to reach us. We all agree that General Merritt, from Fort Russell, with the companies of the Fifth Cavalry there, and all other available t-roogs, will be ordered to our rescue, as they will be needed to ‘finish the camtpaign. : The field ot ' battle was admirably chosen for defense by the Indians, and had it not been for Major Thornburgh’s advance guard, ommanded by Lieutenant Cherry, discoverﬁng the- ambuscade, the entire command would have been annihilated. He saw a small party of Indians disappear over a hill, half a mile in front, and at once divided his party to reconnoitre, and only discovered them when he had flanked their position bg about two hundred yards. Cherry rode back at full speed, with two or three men who were with him, and notified Major Thornburgh, who had already begun the descent into the deep ravinle which was intended to engulf the command. The Indians were dismounted and lying down along the crest of the high, steep ridge, not one hundred yards from the point where the deadly assault would have commenced. The troops were withdrawn a short distance, dismounted and deployed in line ot battle, with orders to await the attack ot the Indians. Litutenant Cherry was here ordered by Thornburgh to take a detachment of fifteen picked men, and make a reconnoissance and c¢ommunicate. it possible; with the Indians, as it was thought that they only desired to oppose his approach to their Agency, and would parleg, or have a * big talk,” if they could be communicated with. Cherry moved out at a'gallop with his men from the right flank, and noticed a like movement of about twenty Indians from the left of the Indian position. He approached to within a couple of hundred yards of the Indians, and took off his hat and waved it, but the response was a shot fired at himm; wounding a man of his party and killing his horse. This was the tirst shot, and was instantly followed by a volley from the Indians. : : The work had now begun in real earnest, and, seeing the advantage of the positio&he held, Cherry dismounted the detachment®Sind deployed along the erest of the hill to prevent the Indians flanking his position, or to cover their retreat, it found neeessary to retire upon the wagon-train, which was then coming. up slowly, guarded by Licutenant Paddock. of Company D, Fifth Cavalry. . Orders were sent. to park the wagons and cover them with the company guarding them:. The two companies in advance were those of Captain Payne, Company F, Fifth Cavalry, and Caprain Lawson’s, Company E, Third Cavalry, which were dismounted and deployed as skirmishers, with Captain Payne on the left and Captain Lawson on the right. From Cherry’s position he could see that the Indians were trying to cut him off from the wagons, and at once he sent word to Major Thornburgh, who then withdrew the line slowly, keeping the Indians in check until opposite the point which his men held, when, seeing that the Indians were concentrating to cut oft his retreat, Captain Payne, with Company F, Fifth Cavalry, was ordered to charge the hill, which he did in gallant style, his horse being shot under him and several :of his men wounded. t 3 ¥

The Indians having been driven from this point, the company was rallied on the wagontrain. Major Thornburgh then gave orders to Cherry to hold his position and eover Captain Lawson’s retreat, who was ordered to fall back slowly with the led horses of his company. Cherry ealled for volunteersot twenty men, who responded promptly, and fought with desperation. Their names will be given in a later :dispatch, as. nearly eyery man was wounded beiqﬁedh_e reached the'camp and two men were ille . v 5 Rt hi(nx‘erry.a:mgugrht every wounded man in with Captain Lawson, a raye old veteran, disfl‘nyed the greatest eoolness and courage durng this retreat, sending up. ,ammunition to Cherry’s men when once they were nearly i Diogitiien stasiel tack 1o th Major.

Picks and spades were used vigorously for digging intrenchments, "Meantime a galling fire was concentrated uPon the command from all the surrounding bluffs which commanded the position. Not an Indian could be seen, but the incessant crack of their Sharp’s and Winchester rifies dealt feartul destruction among the horses and men. : The groans of the dying and the agonizing cries of the wounded told what fearful havoe was being made amonﬁ the determined and desperate command. veﬁy man was determined to sell his life as dearly as pessible. About this time a great danger was a%proaohing at a frightfully rapid pace. The red devils, at the be_g'innin(f of the fight, had set fire to the dry lgrass and to the sage-brush to the wind‘ward of our position, and it now came sweeping down toward us, the flames leaping high into the air, and immense volumes of smoke rolling on to engulf us.

LATER. s October 4—Bix p. m.—No courier could be gotten off last night, owing to the constant firing of the Indians into the camp. The moon -came up an hour after dark. and a volley was poured in at once. Our party who went after water was unmolested, and we had our little stockade all cleared for action before the firing was resumed. As I write this dispatch the bullets are whistling over the top of the trench. They often strike the grain-sacks, a few inches above our heads, but we are deep enough to be comparatively safe. 5 'MERRITT ARRIVES. : October s—Bix a. m.—Hurrah! hurrah! Merritt has come, and the surrounding hills resound with the cheers of welcome. The courier goes out at once.

The Massacre of Agent Meeker and His Associates. ; RAWwWLINS, Wy. T., October 13. Mr. Emil Webber and George Fuhr, two couriers, have just arrived from what was a few days ago the White River Agency. From them I learn the following particulars: General Merritt advanced upon the agency on-the 11th inst. On his way ‘he found many dead bodies. among others those of Carl Goldstein, an lsraelite, who left hére with Government supplies for the Utes at White River Agency. He wasfound in a.gulch six miles this side of the agency. He was shot twice through the shoulder and was about two miles from his wagons. : A teamster named Julius Moore, formerly from Bainbridge, Mass.,- who was with him when he left here, was found about 100 yards from Goldstein with two bullet holes in his breast, and his body hacked and mautilated with a knife or hatchet. As the command advanced through the canyon they came to an old coal mine, and in it was found the dead body ot an agency employe named Dresser. He had evidently been wounded, and crawled i the mine to die. His coat was folded up and placed under his head for a pillow. Beside him lay a Winchester ritle containing- eight cartridges. In one.of his pockets a letterswas tfound, which, as near as the courier can I%member, was as follows: “WHITE RIVER, September 29—1 p. m. “MAJOR THORNBURGH: I will ¢come with Chiet Douglas and another chief and meet you to-morrow. Everything quiet here, and Douglas is flying the United States tlag. We have been on guard three nights; not that we expect any trouble, but hecause there might be. Did you have any trouble coming through the canyon? : .- “N. C. MEEKER, U. 8. Indian Agent.” On entering the agency a scene of quiet desoiation presented itself. All except one house were burned to the g.ound, and not a living thing in sight except the command. The Indians had taken everydhing, except the flour, and decamped. The women and children were missing, and nothing whatever could be found to indicate what had become of them. They have either been murdered and buried, or else taken away as hestages. . The dcad-bodg' of Father Meeker was tound about one hundred yards from his house, lying on his back, shot through the head. The lett side of his head had been masned in with some blunt instrument, a piece of a barrel stave driven into his mouth, and one of his hands and arms badly burned. : The dead body of Mr. W, H. Post, Father Meeker's assistant, was found between the building and the river, a bullet hole through the left ear and one under the ear. He as well as Father Meeker were stripped entirely naked. ; Another employe, named Eaton, was found dead. He was stiipped naked, and had a bundle of paper bags in his arms. His face was badly eaten by wolves. - Frank Dresser, a brother to the one discovered in the coal mine, was found badly burned. He had without doubt been killed instantly, as a bullet had passed through his heart. The bodies of Eaton, Thompson, Price, Eskridge, and all the other employes not named, were also found. Eskridge was found two miles this side of the agency, naked, and a bul-let-hole through his head. In the position occupied by the Indians during Thornburgh’s battle in a breastwork made of stone was found the dead body of an unknown white man dressed in buckskin. He was sitting on his knees, and had his gun ready tofire. He was shot through the forehead. From this it appears the Indians are not alone in their hellish work. ¢ The supposition is the Indians have gone South to join the Southern Utes. and the impression among the officers of Merritt’s command i 3 that the Indians who fonght Thornburgh numbered at'least 700. . :

| A Terrible Suicide. THE Frankfurter Zeifung reports an ‘appalling case of suicide which occurr: edafewdaysago. A farmer named Hoftinger had two sons. The elder fell in love with the servant-girl, but had to join his regiment as a soldier and serve his three years with the colors. On his return home he discovered that his brother had supplanted him in the affections of the maid. He implored her to allow old relations to' be established, but she refused. He threatened to commit suicide, but she laughed at ‘him. Some dayslater she went so far i as to taunt him with cowardice, declar‘ing she did not believe he could muster coura%e.enough to drown himselfin the i neighboring lake. He declared that he would not drown himself, but would take away his life in a manner which would make her hair stand on end. On the morning of Sept. 7, while his parents and sisters were at church, he took a young horse from the stable, fastened a rope securely to him, and tied the end of the rope around his ownbody, thenputa lighted slowmatch into the ear of the poor animal, which naturally started off, and, mad with P‘ain, dra%"ged the unfortunate Hoffinger with him in all directions, finally plunging into the lake. Later in the ;day the two bodies were found in the lake, stillfastened together. Hoffinger’s ‘was so fearfully shattered and mutilated as to be quite beyond recognition.

. The Southern Outrages gf 1879, - ~ An able philosopher ealls our attention to the curious fact in connection with these deplorable blots on civilization and the census known as * Southern outrages.” that ¢ Southern outrages’’ are never committed until just after the Republican nominations in the North have béen made and the campaign orators begin to paw the dust and bellow. The fact is indubitable. The explanation of it demands reflection. It seems to show analogies with the action of that law of hextraordinary coincidences evolved by Professor Anthony Weller from his study of stagecoach accidents and elections to the House of Commons. " But it has peculiarities of its own. No State or Congressional elections—that is, no State elections of consequence—take place in the South this year, for example, so that there can be no special political necessity felt there for bull-dozing and committing outrages y yet, if we are to believe our Republican contemporaries, the Southern gemons are it again with the recurring autummnal equinox. It might reasonably have been expected that out of a natural interest in the success of their brethren at the North the Southern Democrats, who exhibited such patient magnanimity and perfect self-control throughout the summer of 1876 and the spring of 1877, would be slow to furnish the Republican campaign orators with patent kindling for the firing of the Northern heart, and not over-anxious to tap negro gore wherewith to reimbue the multitudinous and weather-faded bloody shirt. It might have been supposed they would put off their murderous recreations say till the second week in November, after. getting on so comfortably without them well on ‘into the early autumn. Alas! —if we are 'to believe our Republican contemporaries—the Southern Democrats are as reckless of their own in-/ terests as they are of the lives of mankind in general. In the days of Grant and the carpet-baggers the Southern Democrats used to live at peace with their negro neighbors from jthe beginning of November in one even-num-bered year till the middle of August in the next even-numbered year, when just about the time at which English aristocrats go %‘unning' after birds the Ku-Klux would sally forth’ and begin shooting holes through the hats of the friends of Senator Spencer and chevying Africans with bloodhounds with such ferocity that a paternal Government was literally compelled to quarter ~ troops throughout the country -and to keep them ' there till the Returning Boards had completed their work. Why have they ~abandoned this sweet periodicity since the carpet-baggers ceased out of their land? Another symptom of popular | dementia, if we are to believe our Republican contemporaries, has recently ‘made its appearance among these detestable Southern Democrats. We are ‘ assured that in a kind of frenzy they all insist on.compassing a new rebellion, and' on tipping the Union up on end, rather than submit to the operation of; certain clauses of the Federal Election law which were meant to worry the great cities of the North and do not affect their section of the country at all. How is this to be explained? Another %peculiarity of these strange creatures eminently deserves notice. Thoughborn with a shot-gun in his hand, as one might say, and accustomed fromr his cradle up to use it fréely upon all animated things, from the Judge chewing his quid upon the bench to the negro on a dead run for the swamps, the moment that the close season for colored Republicans is .over and® the Southern Democrat goes out gunning for them in company with the staff correspondent of our esteemed Republican contemporaries, all his skill desérts him. Six or seven years ago the best he could do was '”to shoot the hat of Mr. Hester. This year at point-blank range his wavering bullet. only perforates the clothing of a Postmaster. Everything favors him—the darkness without, in which he crouches for his aim, the dusky form of his vietim well-defined against the glare of the official pine-knot blazing high within. He pulls his trusty trigger—and 10, nix cum heraus! Now, why is this thus? As mankind is indebted exI clusively for such information as it now possesses about these Southern monsters in human shape to our esteemed Republican contemporaries, would it be asking too much of them to beg them to formulate something like a working ‘theory of the causes which lead the Southern bull-dozer to bull-doze only ‘when bull-dozing is sure to be most inconvenient to his friends and most useful to his enemies—to get up rebellions against the United States with an ‘ex.cfusive eyeto the necessities of a stalwart campaign in behalf of laws intended solely to facilitate the incarceration in iron cages of all the Irish and Ger‘mans in New York and Cincinnati, and to waste his shot and powder deliberately in the interest of Northern hatters .and the makers of ready-made clothes?

——- The Republican Platform. The following from the Nation: ‘“The effect on the Southern mind of a Republican vietory in 1880 will depend om the platform on which the victory is won, ang the aims put forward by. ‘the wisg and brave leader.” ' If it is won on ‘ the bloody+shirt” platform, and on the theory that every negro is ex vi termini a Republican, and the language of the canvass ereads the belief that the great aim of the new Administration will be to build up a black party in those States in whieh negroes are in a majority, or nearly in a majority, we have no doubt—human nature being much the same at ,the South as everywhere else—that the eﬁ?ecg will be to keep the white South as ¢solid’ as it is now, as the best protection against the thing it most dreads—ne%lro rule. A stalwart, denunciatory, exultant orth, revelling in the memories of the war, comparing every election to Gettysburg, and 'searchin% every corner of the South with the fierce light of newspaper criticism and report, for the purpose of turning all crimes, outrages and dizsorders to political account, and indicating by every sg)eech-. and article, and vote, its desire to see the Southerm State Governments in the hands of its own friends, without regard to their character or intelligence, cannot but keeg the race question uppermost in the Southern mind, and prevent a division of the whites on any other subject—for all subjects are in their eyes trivial compared to this.”" The foundation of lies upon which the. prospective ‘‘bloody shirt’ campaign rests will af)pea.r when we remember that if all ‘“the crimes, outrages and disorders” charged upon Demooratic rule in the South were increased an hundred fold their would not equal the number of similar acts occurring in the same length of time under Republican rule. If we may be-

lieve Republican stories, not a year passed, after the war and previous to 1877, that did not show at least a thousand murders -of black and white Republicans in Louisiana and "Mississippi, saying nothing' of the other States. Since 1877 the strongest: efforts of Republican imagination have not been able to discover twenty. Indeed, it is conceded even.by Republicans themselves that the South 'is more peaceful now than at any period since 1865, but they" insist that this peace is due entirely to Demoeratic * intimidation.” Such an explanation ‘will only be accepted by those who ' think a Republican hell is preferable to a Democratic heaven. - : e .

The simple truth of the matter is, as we have repeatedly declarved, that the South must vote the Republican ticket in order to establish her loyalty in Republican estimation. 'No other proof will be accepted; and because the South declines to furnish this proof the Republican party has deliberately determined to make the coming Presiden-_ tial contest a purely sectioglzﬁ one. All other issues will be thrust aside to make room for that which has already wrought such incalculable mischief upon American politics and nationality. -~ = The Nation is quite right in asserting that the South will always be ¢solid? against negro rule. . ‘Divide the Southern people. may on other questions, but on that question they will be united while grass grows and water runs. They will never ‘voluntarily again wear the African yoke. They will never voluntarily again submit to the domination of carpet-baggers. * If it is the intention of the Republican leaders, in event of suecess next year, to re-establish the dirty tyranny to which Hayes gave the deathblow, they may as well make arrangements to garrison every Southern county with a Federal regiment. Military power, and nothing else, can perma-’ nently restore the condition of affairs whieh so long disgraced the country in the eyes of Christendom. ¢‘A black. party,”’ with black principles and practices, ean exist there only through the persistent support of bayonets. “ Human nature being muech the same in the South as éverywhere else,”” the Southern people will act in this business precisely as would the the ﬂiort;hem people ~under similar circumstarices. - The restoration of Republican sapremacy in the South, based as before on negroes and carpet-baggers, may be a goo_ti, rallying cry for the Presidential fight; but any attempt to put it into practical operation must inevitably prpduce trouble compared with which all other since 1861 will seem trifling.—St. Lowuis Re.publican. .. : e

Lo e ey i Wlien an enthusiastic third termer at San Francisco told Grant the other day that there were many in that ‘city who would like to see him President again, he answered, diplomatically, “I don’t aspire.”” . Still further - pressed to say whether he would be a candidate in a certain contingency, he looked toward the sea and took refuge in silence. 4 - This is the sort of game which has been played for. the past two years, while the managers of the game have: been pretending that Grant was not'a candidate for 1880. As -he. has approached the point from which he start--ed out, some of the disguise has been thrown.offs . i : i . It is no secret that the voyage round the world was part of a plan to put ‘Grant in training for a third term. He - desired to go abroad, and that wish fitted in with the desires of those whowanted- him away from party strifes, and out of danger of the committals and complications which would be almost inevitable should he remain at home. He was put in the way of gaining a large sum of money, enough to cover his expenditures of travel on a liberal scale, - without seemingly having to incur any obligation. The arrangement was far more delicate than the subscription to the fund in his behalf in 1868. Buit the parties to it are as well known as were Fish, Borie, Childs, Drexel and the others whe flourished during two terms as the power behind the throne. Grant is as mueh a candidate now as he was 'in 1868 or im 1872. All the Ring. chiefs: and -a great number of leaders in the Republican party are for him first, last and all the time. They have not ehanged in the least degree, or abated a jot in devotion. Their programme of a sectional crusade has been ‘organized with reference to Grant. All the platforms are manufactured in one mold, and they bear the impress of a preconcerted plan of ecampaign for 1830, by forcing ‘an issue with the South, and elaiming that a man with an iron grip is demanded in the Executive office.” el NG : ‘

. The traditions of the Presidency from Washington down count for nothing with this faetion. They want power, patronage, the . /Treasury, the high honors and a ‘strong Government, backed by a great standing army, an increased navy and European - forms and customs, without' regard to expense.’ The glitter of a court at Washington, -with elass distinetions, enormous outlay, parade, palaces for the Cabinet, and extra -appropriations for ‘maintaining the dignity of their stations, are all comprehended in the scheme of a restoration of Grantism. Grant is shrewd and - does not mean to enter the Convention with any ordinary chance of losing the nomination. His expectation is to conquer it in advande, so that there will be nothing more than a ratification of the machine’s decree when the delgFates get together eight months hence. He turned aside from an intended journey to Australia in- obedience to a call from the wire-pullers, who told him the time had come for a personal participation on his part. Hence his return by way .of California for the proposed ovations. Yet, when interrogated about the Presidency, he replies, ¢I don’t aspire.”’— N Y -Sun . diaids adabe Wie :
