Mr. John W. Haeerlund. Austin, Texas:
Dear J0hn-I am to-day all right, but
thought for q while Yesterday that was gone
up Major Jones, with thirty-five men, struck
an Indian trail, and, after following il about
twenty-five miles, lost IL, and while the men
were scattered over the prairie looking for the
trail, we were charged by something over one
hundred warriors, well mounted and they
gave US fits until we could all get together.
They were all around, and so mixed up with
the boys that Il was nearly impossible to tell
whom to shoot at. But after we got settled,
we charged, running them back into the
mountains then Il was our time to fall back,
which we did, to a strip Of timber, and there
dismounted and shot quite a number. Still
We were not able to capture anything, or get
hold Of any we killed They had us com
pletely surrounded nearly or quite four hours,
and during the time they in return gave it TO
us like hail They killed for US twelve head
Of horses, and among them was Walter
Robertson's, that had two bullets put Imnfe-
diately through him. My horse was struck
twice, but not hurt. We also had so far as ]
could learn, five men killed, and several
wounded One ban passed through my waist

achievements. left him with the boys, in
quite a critical place-nearly surrounded.

lowed or fired upon expected TO have e

right
You may tell them all at Austin that the
Austin boys are all right, or were when j left
them. Two companies of regulars started tC
their relief; they will get there this morning
The fight took place near Flat Top Mountain,
At Loss Valley, fourteen miles from here, and

We left Blanco City on the fifth Of June,

mined to be most eifective-from the juno

junction Of Bear Creek with the North

five miles, which we patrol regularly. Our
line from Concho 70 Llano runs little
south Of west from the former to the latter
point A little too much Of a plain to pre-
sent grand scenery, with the exception Of
the beautiful San Saba, which intervenes
about hallway the distance to break the
monotony, which would be monotonous in
deed for q whole years scenery.
Our camp at present is near the village Of
Menardville, on the San Saba river, where
We find the citizens generally greeting US
with q friendly welcome. Capt. Perry pro-
poses to let no grass grow up in an Indian
trail that crosses his line Of patrol, until be
has exhausted all means in his power 10

Bear Butte, and . stream called, by the old
French coga1eNTs, Belle FOurche- Where
these are, 10 one knows exactly but the In
dians. The French, always more success
ful IN their Indian policy than any Anglo
Saxon race, once held friendly relations
with the Sioux, and their trappers ana
traders wandered as freely in and shout the
BLACK Hills as tbeyl do to-day in Hudson's
Raw Territory. Angio-Saxon greed and
a00reesiveness have changed the relations
I,efrcen civilization and the Indians, south
~ the British possessions. The vague ideas
tbat We Inherited from the French trappers,
and embodied IN school maps and even IN
the very best charts obtainable outside Of
government surveys, have proved generally
unreliable when tested by those surveys. Il
is to clear up these mistakes and settle the
real location Of these Black Hills that this
expedition has been organized.
Il numbers fully eleven hundred souls.
comprising the Seventh Cavalry, two com
panies of infantry, sixty Indian scouts, and
four Calling guns. A heavy train Of sup

Forsyth commands five companies Of the
Seventh Cavalry, and the Presidents son is
an extra aid-de-camp on the staff. The
country being entirely unknown, the ex-
ploration OF itself must be full of interest,
as clearing up the only mysterious spot OF
any great size left in the map Of the United
Estates. When we add that the reports OF
friendly Indians represent this remote oasis
as very rich in minerals, as well as in the
essentials of savage life, it is not surprising
that a strong expedition should be needed
to explore its Businesses. It is the last home
Of the Sioux, and possibly they may fight
to defend it from intrusion. If so, while
regretting their hard fate, we can, never
theless, see that the expedition will, in al
probability, walk through them without
serious damage. In case of a battle We
shall also have the first opportunity yet pre-
sented this side of the Atlantic for testing
the renowned Calling gun in real action
In view of the contingency, DR.. GatlinG
hopes they will attack. For ourselves, W.

g. Tennell, handed us by friend:
Holding writs from Bexar county for the
arrest of George @. Tennell, on the morn
ing of July 8 he summoned posse of nine
men, proceeded from Gonzales in the direc-
ton Of Salt creek, reaching John Runnelfs
house, distant from town some fourteen
miles, about o'clock. The force divided (;
the party on the front side rode up, and
while distant about hundred and fifty
yards, Tennell, gun in hand, ran out Of the
house, jumped fence into a corn-feld, and
made for the lower end of the corn-tield,
toward the woods. The field was quickly
surrounded, and, near the lower end of it,
Tennell was discovered lying behind a
brush fence. Repeatedly he was summoned
to give himself up, but, without replying,
he continued trying to fire upon the advanc-
ing party His gun failed to fire, for when
possession was obtained one cartridge was
found lying by his side, having four OF
five indentatiOns on it where the hammer
had struck. This cartridge failing to fire,
Tennell had withdrawn it, substituted
another, and was again in the act OF firing
when he was fred upon and killed Every
effort as made to induce Tennell to sur
render, snd only after such efforts proved
useless was he fred upon.

CRANE. LAnOkAhE IT cANrAHE.
Three blissful words name to thee,
Three words Of potent charm,
Prom eating care thy heart 70 free,
Thy life 70 shield from harm.
Whose these bliaefui words may know,
A bold. hlitho-frOnted face shall show,
And, fhod with peace, shall safely 90
Through war and Wild alarm.
First, ere thy forward foot thou move,
And WELD thy arm Of might,
Lift up thine heart 70 Him above
That all thy ways be right.
To the prime source Of life and power
Let thy soul rise, even as a flower
That skyward climbs 10 sunny hour,
And seeks the genial light.
Then GRID thy loins to manly toll.
And in the toll have Joy;
Greet hardships with q willing smile,
And love the stern employ.
Thy glory this the harsh totame,
And BY wise stroke and tcchnic flame,
In GOd-like labors fruitful name,
Old Chaos 70 destroy.
Then, mid thy zorzshop's dusty din,
Where Titan steam hath sway,
Groom 20 myself q soEg within,
Or pour the lusry lay:
Even a. q bird that cheeriy sings
In narrow cage, nor frsts ito wings,
But with full-breasted joyanee hings
Its soul into the day.
For lofty things let others strive
With roll Of yanntful drum;
Keep thou thy heart honeyed hive,
Like bee with busy hum.
Chase not the bliss with wishful eyes
That ever lures and ever flies,
But IN the present Joy DO wise,
And LEI the future come
