Julesburg, Feb. II.
At ten O'Clock on Saturday, Feb. 18th
Indians were seer coming with a yell
upon the station at Mud Springs. They
commenced firing and did not cease uu-
til dark. Their first attempt vas to
start The horses that were near, driving
them to my herd at Pumkin creek.
At dark they cut the telegraph wire
west.
Lit Ellsworth, at Fort Mitchell, had
already been notified, and was on bis
way with fifty men to reinforce US. His
timely arrival was all that saved the
post, as the fight was renewed.
The second day. at sunrise, he SUR
prised the Indians and routed them,
holding the ground all day.
Col. Collins came in at daylight on
the third day with $50 men, when the
fight opened Immediately. the Indians
getting possession. of all the ground ex-
cept the buildings. There was not less
than 1000 Indians in sight; but getting
wors,ed. they drew off about three
o'clock, losing a number of their men,
and woundiDg FIVE Of ours.
On the fourth day they made their
appearance at sunrise, but made no gen.
eral attack. Col. Collins sent Out scouts
in all directions to fnd their trail. Thai
night artillery came and Col. Collins
followed the trail to Bush creek, where
they had just broke camp. He followed
il to The moGth of the creek and saw
Indians on the north side of the river,
when they Immediately came back to
meet US. We correlled, and in a short
time were surrounded by at least 900
warriors, who came to MS 10 Two columns,
one on each side. Al about one D. m.
the fight commenced, which lasted until
after dark, and resulting in killing
and woundIng of quite a number of
Indians, and two soldiers killed and
FIVE wounded.
The SIKH day, at daylight, found US
surrounded, though a few shells kept
them at proper distance. BY moor they
had all recrossed Platte river, when we
broke up camp and returned.

Il has been the fate of nearly every
movement made in this Territory for the
benefit Of Nebraska Soldiers and their
destitute families to meet with more or
less opposition. To be convinced of this
ne have only 10 read the speech of A.
s. HOlladay-On cur first page-On the
subject of the Soldiers Relief Bill
We are panied 10 learn that the move
ment inaugurated in our city a few weeks
since, for the same purpose, meets with
seme opposition. although its success is
DOW a fixed fact. Some of this opposi-
ton may be tracable to the source from
which it started ; it did not eminate from
q certain church, therefore it is not pat
ronized by a certain class. This kind
Of opposition shows very narrow minds.
Another opposition is based upon the
argument that it is not necessary, and
that much of what is sent to soldiers is
appropriated by knavish officers. As to
its necessity, none who have been in the
service can doubt il; while we were in
the Nebraska Cd Cavalry, we have seen
soldiers stricken down with f~evers, lying
for weeks in the heavy wOllen clothes
furnished by Government. often without
a change of these even; in fevers
especially wollen clothes are very much
against the disease; lighter garments
are motor we're not to DISTINGUISHED
BY Government. 1t is one of the objecIs
Of this Society to remedy, as much as
possible, this evil, by raising money 10
buy goods which they will make up into
clothing for the sick in the most eouven-
lent style. This none can doubt will be
q great benefit TO our soldiers. Again,
we have in our county families who need
assistance, and must have il, as some are
really in a suffering condition. Under
these circumstance who will say it is IN
necessary to act in this matter? AS to
the other objection, we understand the
Society intends to send their donations to
the Rev. T. w. TIPTOE, Chaplain of the
LIST Nebraska Cavalry. who will see that
they are placed in hands that need them
in that Regiment. His name is a sufi
Gent guaranty that they will not be put
to ether uses than originally intended.
We are lead TO make these remarks in
the hope of bringing about a unity Of
action. 1t is no, a charity that is called
for, but a duty we owe to the brave men
who are fighting for their country, and
the peace we "stay-at.home patriots"
enjoy. Shall our inactiOn assist to III
nerve the arm that is striking down cur
foes, by the conviction that those dear
ores whom he has left behind, are suf-
ering amidst plenty, in the country of
bis friends7 Shall we refuse to assist
eur soldiers on the plains, but for whose
sturdy resis tence the blood thirsty saw
ages would have ere this laid waste the
whole of Nebraska, or forced every man
