October it's decision on the motion Of MIR.

earned. the Indians, to offset their own
heavy losses, had been able to do us no
damage, except TO wound one man and TWO
horses: but, unfortunately, two non-cOm-
batants. Veterinary Surgeon John Hauser-
ger. of the Seventh Cavalry, and Mr.. Bali
rim, of Memphis, Tennessee, in endeavoriDg
TO come from the main command to Join the
squadron in advance. were discovered by
the Indians during the attack. and being
2narmed were overtaken and killed almost
within view Of the battle ground.
The battle of Big Horn took place on the
eleventh of August, when the Indians ap-
peared in strong force on the river bank,
opposite to where Custar's command was
encamped, and opened brisk fire; small
bodies of the savages at the same time
crossing above and below the troops. The
command was properly distributed to resist
all attacks, and when everything was in
readiness for general advance charge
was ordered, and the squadron took the
gallop to the tune of Garryowen.
The Indians had evidently come out pre-
pared to do their best and with no misgiv-
ings as to their success, as the mounds and
high bluffs beyond the river were covered
with groups OF squaws. OLD men and chill
dren, who had collected there to witness
our destruction. In this instance the pro-
verbal power of music to .'soothe the
savage breast" utterly failed, for no sooner
did the band strike up the CHEEKY notes of
Garryowen and sguadrons advance to the
charge than the Indians exhibited unmis-
taxable signs of commOtion, and then their
resistance became more feeble, until finally
fatie OF the earnestness of our attack,
they turned their ponies heads and began
q disorderly flight. The chase was con-
tInued with the utmost vigOr until the H.
tiiDs were completely dispersed and driven
a distance of nine miles from where the en-
gagement took place, and they were here
forced back across the Yellowstone. The
last pony killed in the fight was shot fully
eight miles from the point Of attack.
The number of Indians opposed to us has
been estimated by various officers engaged
as from 800 to 1000 My command num-
bered AGO officers and men. Our losses
were one officer badly wounded, four
men killed and three wounded; four horses
were killed and four wounded. A careful
investigation iustifies the statement that,
including both days battles, the Indian
losses will number forty warriors, while
their wounded on the opposite bank of the
river may increase this number.
