anxious faces, chiefly his own men, who wed with
each other in their attentions to him. One brought
water from the river in his hat another wiped the
bloody ooze from his lips, while third screened
him from the burning rays Of the sun.
One, with more enthusiasm than feeling, waived

THE LOSSES OF THE BATTLR.--Abeut this time
was summoned to attend wounded man in one Of
the mountain raEines. II was near slfsaes ana the
Indians were gradually withdrawing from the fghf,
but were still seen clustering here and there upon
the hiiEsides and plain. When reached the ra-
vine, found myself accompanied by only five
men, though l had started with about twenty
Cautiously we proceeded up the ravine, on the q,1
gtce for concealed foe, when the sudden swapping
of rifle from the rocks above brought as all 10
crouching attitude in a little gully that happened
most opportuneiy. Here we remained in compare
tive safety from the balls that occasionally whis
tied overhead, until released by detachment Of
regulars that made its appearance upon the ridge
overlooking our right. Poor Cameron, when found,
was beyond all hope he had been shot from
above, as he was in the act of leading away some
Indian horses he had captured in fair fight, and in
advance of his party. The ball had struck him on
| the top OF the head and ranged downward through
the brain. He was borne from the field in blankets,
| but expired before reaching our camp. On the
| part of the regulars, three were wounded, one
1 having his lower jaw terribly shattered. OF the
4 enemys loss we could form no correct estimate,
/ as during the night they collected all their dead
and carried them from the field. Judging, how
ever from the number seen to fall, and the bloody
| evidences everywhere apparent, Col Hays esti-
mates their loss ftors da contbdD TO be about fifty
men.
Col. Hays, it appears, was not successful in

having fed to the mountains.

We, whose names are hereunto annexed, CERTIFY
that we were passengers on board the steamship
North Star, Capt. Jones, commander, leaving New
i York May 81, 1860, for Aspinwall, and would
recommend that the authorities Of New York would
inquire into the following circumstances, viz:
Il How, or in what manner, two laborers On said
steamship North Star came by their death, believ
ing, as we do that they died from hard usage one
Of them being fogged and compelled TO work until
. he dropped, and then was hauled up through one
of those large pipes Qeading from the furnaee) IN
, an unmercifni manner. That the other laborer
bore marks Of extreme violence, which were said
TO have been inflicted by the engineers hammer,
! and finally died from the effects of the same.
The paper further states that the North Star, ON
the trip alluded to, carried more than the number
allowed by the law, that she was very poorly pro-
vided with small boats, and that the meat was
} tainted and quite unfit for food.
