THE. RED INDIANS.

The troops out West have had another fight with
the Indians of the plains, near the spot where Cus-
ter destroyed Black Kettle's band. Our reader
may recollect that Little Raven was encamped Sig
miles lower down the 'Washita River, and that he
attacked the United States troops, being only beaten
off after a hard fight. This chief, together With
Satanta, a warrior renowned for his eloquence, and,
the tribes consisting of the Kiowas, Arapahoes, and
Cheyennes, were defeated with the loss of large
quantities of provisions and much cattle. Not long
ago General Sherman issued strict orders to capture
or kill Satanta and Ball Bear, believing them to be
the most hostile and treacherous of the Indians;
and if this, the principal chief of the Kiowas has,
in truth, been taken, his apartments are already al-
lotted for him at Fort Gibson. The messen-
ger lost his despatches when crossing the Arkansas
River, so the particulars as yet have not been re-
ceived ; but we learn by previous despatches that
the Kiowas had split into two parties, friendly 503
unfriendly, the latter being joined by nearly all the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and they had gone to
the head of the north fork of the Red River, near
the junction of the Sweetwater ; the number being
about 100 warriors. General Sheridan was to have
started on the 7th December for Fort C )bb from
his camp on the Canadian River, and he expected
in a few days after, in conjunction with General
Haziro, to strike the hostile bands without inter-
fering with the friendly Apaches, the Caddoes,
IVichetows, and other friendly tribes, about 3,000
being clustered about Fort Cobb. Gen. W. S. Han-
cock has defended himself against the charges al
an Indian agent who accused him of ruthlessi9
burning an Indian village. Sherman approved his
action, which was forced on him by the hostility et
the tribe, and the killing and burning of white
people he was unable to stop by peaceable meant!'
A telegram from St. Louis, Dee. 31, announces tae
arrival of Dr. Gall from Fort Wallace, who states
that there is great indignation there against CO'
Butler for failing to capture sixty lodges of Indians
at Ackonary Creek, as he might easily have done;
Colonels Carpenter and Graham have left Fort
Wallace in pursuit of the same red skins. A
iiis
chief
named Satanta was captured and hung." If this
true Satanta was quickly disposed of ; but tlO
.1
latest from St. Louis is to the Ist January, wherein
General Sherman says he has received no official
3
information of the recent reported battle with ta,_
Indians. General Sheridan's commissary feeds his
Indian prisoners on roast horse and dog fricase!!
but the dogs are the prair!e animals, more like raucf
bits, differing mainly from them, and resemblin;
dogs in being much nicer than rabbits and
barking.
