Thomas on that memorable Sunday afternoon,
September 20, 1858; therefore, 1 know whereof
speak. As to Gen. Thomas having esat in the
coolest and most nonchaIant fashion during the
whole of that famous final fight at atChickamauga,"
as stated in the Tribune, cannot so positively
stand to reason, however, that with the right
wing and centre Of the grand Army of the Cum
berland disastrously shattered, and fleeing with
that during the following six long hours Of .e-rt-
Bile peril, when his little army Of only 5000
men was repelling the repeated attacks
Der, flushed with victory and bent on his destruc-
tiOn, that a commander of the well-known char
acteristics of Gen. Thomas would have been loll-
ing sin the hollow of a field behind hill'' in the
coolest and most norchalant fashion," Not thus
could he have won in that day the glorious sobri-
quet of "The Rock of Chickamauga." Nor does
ii correspond with the statements made to me by
many an eyewitness OF the terrible carnage of
that long September afternoon, and the still
more terrible closing scenes of that fearful day,
when with their ammunition gone that sadly deci-
mated little army of ''1nyincibles," with fixed
bayQpets, renulsed assault after assault until
darkness closed around them gallantly holding
the field. No commander Of such an army would
be likely to be sitting around In the coolest and
most nonchalant manner" at such a time, and
particularly one so tender, so loving, and so be-
loved by every man in his army as was General
Thomas. The Every unmilitary but dramatic at
titude" complained of in the same paragraph must
be in the jaundiced vision Of the complainant, as
the ilclOsed copies of letters from distinguished
officers who are familiar with this painting and
who knew Gen. Thomas well, will clearly prove.
Believing that you have been entirely misled re-
lative to this painting, and that you will gladly
deal justly with it and its author, am, very sim

THE BATTLE OF cHIcKAMAusA.
Hiss Ransom's Picture General Thomas and
the Battle Field.


Some time ago, on the nd Of April, the New
York Tribune, in a minor editorial, criticised un-
ayorably Miss Ransom's picture Of General
Thomas at Chickamauga, as follows:
In the application OF Miss Ransom to have her
portrait ofGeneral George II. Thomas admitted TO
the Centennial E1gosition the painting is given the
title Of General George n. Thomas on the Battle
neld OF fChiekamAuga, with Lookout Mountain and
Missionary Ridge In the Distance In the pintiug
the General appears standing upon rock in O very
unmilitary but dramatic attitude, quite unlike any
thing the sincere and slmplemnded old soldier ever
did. There were no large rocks In the valley Of the
Chickamauga, where the bsttle was fought and
from the point on the eastern slope OF Missionary
Ridge, at which General Thomas made the final
stand, Lookout Mountain not visible at all. On
the contrary, at the time Of the famous final fight at
Chickamauga, General Thomas was protected from
the enemy fire in hollow of the field where he sat
in the coolest and most nonchalant fashion during
the whole of the severe contest which followed.
Whereupon the artist addressed the following
letter to the editor Of the Tribune, which, after
many vexatious delays, was finally printed in that
journal week ago last Saturday. The accom-
panying letter from Col Cav efectually sets at
rest the criticism referred to- especially SO far as
lll fair minded journalists are concerned:

Yuma. The good order and sense
of self-respect that they maintain
on our public holidays is most
remarkable. Liquor was free as
water. There was not a man in
town so poor that he could not
get all he wanted to drink, yet
there was very little excess.
There were no arrests, nor cause
for any.
In conclusion we must say that
the success of this celebration Is
largely due to the open-handed
liberality of our citizens, who con-
tributed so freely of their money
to promote the object in view, and
also to the untiring industry and
application and patriotic zeal OF
such men as our honored Mayor

Terrible Result of a Battle with

SAN DIEGO, July 6.-The San

Gen. Custer met and had a fight
with Indians on July 1st, on Lit
tie Horn River. General Custer
and seventeen other officers were
killed and five companies entire
of the Seventh Cavalry either
killed or wounded, and all trace
of them lost except the dead and
about thirty wounded.
Second Dispatch.
Confirmation of the terrible Dis
aster to General Custer and his
Troops.
SAN DIEGO, July 6.-The Union
special dated, Still Water, Mon
tana Territory, July 1st, says ::
George Taylor, scout for General
Gibbons, arrived here last night
direct from Little Horn River.
He brings tidings that General
Custer found an Indian camp of
about two thousand lodges on the
Little Horn, and Immediately at
tackled it. He took five cOmpan-
les and charged into the upper
portion of the camp. Nothing is
known of the operations of this
detachment, only as they are
traced by the dead. Major Reno
commanded seven other compan-
les and attacked the lower portion
of the camp. The Indians poured
in a murderous fire from all sides
and the greater portion Tough on
horseback. General Custer had
two brothers, a nephew and a
brother.in-law. They were all
killed and not one of his detach-
ment escaped. Two hundred and
seventy men were buried in one
place, and the number of killed is
estimated at three hundred, with
! only thirty-One wounded. The
Indians surrounded Major Reno's
command and held them far out
in the hills cut off from water, un-
til General Gibbons came in
sight, when they broke camp in
the night and left. The Seventh
Cavalry fought like tigers, but
were overcome by brute force.
The Indian loss cannot be esti'
mated, as they carried off and
cached the most of their killed.
The remnant of the Seventh Cav
airy, together with General Glib
bons' command are returning to
the mouth of the Little Horn,
where stores lie. The Indians
got all the arms of the killed
soldiers. There were seventeen
commissioned officers killed. The
whole of Clusters family died at
the head of their companies. The
exact loss was not known. Both
| Adjutants and Sergeant Majors
were killed. The Indian camp
was from three to four miles long
and twenty miles up the Little
Horn from it's mouth. The In
dians actually pulled men from
their horses, in some instances. "
The above is confirmed by 9TH
er letters which say that Custer
met a frightful disaster. The

the report and says that the whole
number killed was three HUNDRED
