Major RenO's DisObelience.
New York Commercial Advertiser.


A very grave charge is made against
Major Reno, of the Seventh cavalry, which
is in effect that In consequence, Of gross
violation Of written orders that had been
given him, the campaign against the Sioux
was radically changed, and that Custer was
sent upon that scout, with all possible
haste, which ended so disastrously to him.
II appears that General Terry had ordered
Keno to mcve his command to the mouth
of the Little Powder, then across to the
Tongue Riyer; but instead Of doing that
he switched off his course and marched
across the country to Rosebud, the stream
he had been particularly cautioned not to
approac \, ard struck 1t about twenty FIVE
miles from its mouth. Here he discovered
n fresh trail, which he followed for a dis
tance aud then unaccountably turned back
and reioined tho main command. No ex-
plapation is given of this strange and ecccn-
tric course. The New York Htrald prints
the last letter of its dead correspondent,
who referred to it, without attempting to
unrayel the mystery, and that same paper
giycs another letter from an officer who 1t
saws was killed with Custer, who speaks
of Reno's remarkable disobediencc, but
neither does he attempt an explanation.
This campaign seems to have been a series
of blunders. Everybody has made mis-
takes, and it is not remarkable that the In
dams should believe the whites are DOOM
ed. If the facts given to the public are to
be relied upon, Major Reno's case should
receive prompt attention. It seems incred-
BILE though, that such an old and expert
enced officer should be guilty Of such an
offence.

Much as the country is shocked by
the almost unparalleled horrors Of the
Custer massacre, the fact is that the
centennial storm which swept over
the west during the night of July
4th is in reality the greater disaster
of the two. Beside the forty lives
taken in one fell swoop by the angry
waters that overwhelmed the little
village Of Rockdale, two miles from
Dubuque, from thirty to sixty persons
are represented killed by the tornado
in Madison and Warren counties
with lesser numbers in many other
places, besides q much greater
number more or less severely wound
ed. These deaths include mothers and
fathers Of helpless and now homeless
children, and the little children of suf-
fering parents; and with them went a
destruction of property the aggregate
of which win never be known. From
as near a point as Cedar Rapids where
fifty buildings were blown down, the
devastation reaches out to the north
east and south-we until between the
flood and the tornado the total dam
age is beyond calculation.
