The Recent Slaughter of o. Stairs
Troops nsar Font Laramie
A correspondent az the ST. Lnui
Republiean. writing from Sarpy's Point
Nebraska. eight miles from pert Lara
ME. gives the particulars Of the de
struetien Of a detachment Of trnpps
some twenty-five i'm number. under
Lieut.. Grattan. The writer of the let.
ter says he Was an eve witness af the
battle. and he gives the following &C,
count:
aIn the FIRST place. on the 18th 81
August train of Marmons passed this
place. The Indians. who were encamp.
ed here waiiiEg fer their payment from
the government, had no provisions, and
were of course anx'ous Tor something
20 eat.
As the MormUns were passing. {
lame COW, belonging 10 man in the
rear Of the Mormon train. became
frightened. and ran into the Indian
camp. The Mormon left the cow be-
hind. and so one Of the Indians, Min
necosha. shot il down, and. with his
companions, ate it up. The Mnrmons
then went to the Fort. and reported
that the Indians had killed one Of their
cows.
On the 10Th. about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, Lieut.. Grattan, with COM
mand OF twenty-seyen soldiers. anil
Augusta Lucien, interpreter. arrived
here To arrest the Indian who had kill
eel the cow. | accordingly seat for
the chiefs TO go with the Lieutenant
and make the arrest. They accompa-
MED him. but the Indian was NOT will.
ing to give himself up. saying he would
die frst. te
While the Bear Chief Of the waza.
zies was standing with three other
chiefs. the little Thunder, and the
Big Partizan, and the Man who is
afraid Of Horses, Among the soldiers,
the Lieutenant ordered his men to Gre.
They did so. and wounded the Rear
Chief and his brother. But one round
was fired, when the Indians In turn
charged, and succeeded in routing the
soldiers. aud killing them. with the
exception Of one private. who is not
expected to recover.
Lieut.. Grattan aud two of his men
were killed while standing BY their
cannon, the Lieutenant receiving TWEEN
ty-four arrows. one &c which passed
through his head. As soon as the sol
diers saw their commander fall, they
took to fight; but were all killed with
in half mile Of this place.
The Indians, about one thousand in
number. then threatened to kill every
white man in the neighborhood. aud
burn the fort.
A party then rushed into the house,
and demanded OF me to give them eve.
rything they wanted. To save our lives,
i gave them everything that bad in
my store, to the amount Of $4,000.
The next day they went to the post
Of the American Fur Company, took all
the goo,is that were sent TO them By
government, and pillaged the store"
The Republican says that the lndi.
ans had surrounded Fort Laramie, the
the garrison Of which numbered one
commissioned officer and about fifty
ncn. The Fort was supposed to be in
no danger. however, as it is an adobe
building with walls three feet thick,
large enough to accommodate all the
whites, and impregnable against all the
assaults Of the Indians. Troops have
been ordered from Fort Riley to the
assistance Of the beseiSe,l party at Fort
Laramie.

THE MASSACRE ar FoRT LARAMIE.
st. Louis Intelligencer Of the 10th
inst, has the following, which gives q
correct view of this unhappy affair:
"For shooting lame COW abandon
ed by the Mormons, demand is made
that The warrior guilty Of the act SHOULD
be delivered ur. The offence was not
worthy thought. 1t is the commons
est occurrence on the plain. We un-
,lcrstand that Major Fitzpatrick. or a
member of his company, was guilty of
precisely similar action on recent
return, aud that reverend mission
ary, from whom we have the story,
helped to eat the COW. Neither the
Majar nor the Missionary were re-
ganled as having committed an out
rage. and no demand was made for
TEN But the COW having been kill
ed, every sort Of restitution was oder
ed by the Indians; they would pay
four times its value they would do
everything but believer up their broth
err to the tender mercies of the pale
face stranger. Quick Bear, the Chief,
did his best to bring about even this
but, for Sioux to be placed in the ca
laboose and whipped, isperpetual dis
grace, is worse than death. 'fhe tribe
could not agree to it, and the Chief
had no right to insist. Quick Bear is
a mild, intelligent and most estimable
man his family are Christians. He
and his brother and another Chief were
shot without. any prosocation on their
part, and the village was bombarded
on no other proyocation than the
slaughter Of an abandoned COW. The
whole affair was horrible mistake ;
aud the conseque ces hereafter will be
grave No stock can pass to Caliior-
MIA, nor goods come to US from there,
