toward the lower end Of their village is
announced, when the widest confusion
prevails throughout the camp. Lodges
are struck and prepared for instant
flight. Vast numbers of Indians leave
Reno's front and hasten to the assis-
tance Of their red brethren engaged
with Custer who is steadily forced back
and surrounded until all are swept
from the field by the repeated charges
of the Indians as if they had been car
ried into eternity by the irresistible
force of a hurricane.
He describes the firing at this point
as simply terrific, and illustrated its
force and continuation by clapping his
hands together with great rapidity and
regularity, then there comes lull in
the fearful storm of iron hail and his
hands are still. Again the storm beats
fast and furious as the thoughts Of
homes and loved ones nerve the arm of
each contending trooper. Then the
movement of the hands slaken, and
gradually grow more feeble. A few
scattering strokes, like the pattering Of
the rain upon the window pane and
their movement has ceased as the last
of Custer's band of heroes 60 down with
the setting of the sun. ....
1t is dusk as the successful combat
tants return to camp, Uttered with their
dead and wounded. 1t has not been to
them a bloocless victory. Fourteen
have fallen in front of, Reno, 80 went
down with Clusters men and fourteen
are dead in camp. Horses and braves
are laden with their wounded on every
hand and in countless numbers. One
band alone Of Ogallalas had 27 wounded
on travois and SO thrown across horses.
Kill Eagle says it seemed as if every
one was wounded and places the mum.
ber as high as 600. He is very positive
however, in saying that no prisoners
were taken.
There were no white men in the fight
or a, the camp; one who had been with
them having gone to Spotted Tail Agen-
cy. The bugle calls SO often spoken Of
were sounded by an Indian. .....
He speaks of Sitting Bull as a heavy
muscular man with large head and
light hair hanging to his shoulders and
is not white man or half-breed. He
gives the names Of leading chiefs
present in the fight and reports chief,
High Elk, as being killed in front of
Reno. .. ..-u.
He then goes on to speak of the ap-
proach Of Gen. Gibbons column and the
immediate flight Of the Indians and the
subsequent fight with Lieut. Sibley's
party when chief Of the Cheyennes is
shot through the head and instantly
killed. His statement is quite lengthy
but have endeavord to give you such
portions as are of particular interest
and have not before been made public.

Correspondence of the Bismarck TR1BvNE:
STANDING Rock, D. T., Sept. 20.-Kill
Eagle, of whose surrender at this sta
tion last Friday you have already been
informed, has given quite a lenthgy &C.
count of the operations Of Sitting BULBS
forces the past season. He commences
with the date on which he left this
agency last spring with 26 lodges for
the purpose of hunting buffalo and trad
ing with hostile Indians. He speaks of
having heard reports that troops were
going out to punish the hostiles, but
thought he would have time to do his
hunting and trading and get out Of the
way before trouble occurred. They
were obliged to hunt as they were star.
wing at the agency, and from his account
they were very successful, killing be-
tween twenty and thirty buffalo some
days, and in one herd they killed all but
two.
He details the progress and incidents
of each days march. On the seventh
day they arrived at Sitting Bulls viii
lage where feast and numerous pres.
ents of ponies and robes are given them.
Numerous efforts are made to induce
Kill Eagle and his band to join in the
contemplated movement and hostilities
but evidently without much success.
They are deslrous of getting away, back
again to the protecting arms of their
agency, but are unable to escape from
the meshes of the net the willy Sitting
Bull has woven around them. They
find also, too late, that for them there is
no escape. Their horses are either shot
or stolen, wounds and insult are show
cred upon them from every side. In,
the meantime the forces of Crook are
approaching and with his people Kill
Eagle succeeds in escaping temporarily
from the hostiles. He claims to have
been distant some forty or fifty miles
from the scene of the Rosebud Fl fght, but
relates many of its details and incidents
which he was able subsequently to
gather from some of the participants.
He places the loss of the Indians in the
Rosebud fight at from four dead left on
the field and twelve were brought to
camp. He places the wounded at as
high as four hundred, and says they
had 19O horses killed besides those that
were captured.
Is He next comes to the fight on the
Little Horn and describes the Indian
village which is six miles long and one
wide, and Indians that swarm as thick
as ''maggots in carcas," so numerous
are they. He then goes on and speaks
of Clusters approach and the fight with
its tragic details. AS an unwilling
spectator rather than participant,
who, during its progress, remains quiet
ly in his lodge in the centre of the In
dian village.
The fight with Reno commences about
noon, the Indians all rushing to oppose
his advance, until the approach Of Custer

WHERE'S POLLY!
A MIDSUMMER SONG.

Oh, fathers gone to market-town; he was up
before the day,
And Jamie's after robins, and the man is max
ing hay,
And whistling down the hollow goes the boy
that minds the mill,
While mother from the kitchen door is calling
with wilt
"Poily! Polly! The cows are in the cornl
Oh, where's PollyF'
From all the misty morning air there comes
summer sound
A murmur as of waters from skies, and trees,
and ground.
The birds they sing upon the wing, the plge-
ons bill and COO,
And over hill and hollow rings again the loud
halloo-
"Polly! Polly! The cows are in the corn!
Oh, where's Polyp"
Above the trees tho honey bees swarm by with
buzz and boom,
And in the field and garden hundred flowers
bloom.
Within the farmers meadow brown-eyed
daisy blows
And down at the edge OF the hollow red and
thorny rose.
"But Polly! Polly! The cows are in the
Oh, where's Polly"
How strange at such time OF day the mill
should stop its cIatter!
The farmers wife is listening now, and Won
dering what's the matter.
oh, wild the birds are singing in the wood and
on the hill,
While whistlinG up the hollow goes the boy
"But Pollyl Polly! The cows are in the
Oh, where's Polly?"

204 BAYMILLER STREET, Sept. 8, 1876.
To the Editor of the STAR:
As returned to the city this even
ing, after an absence Of some hours, l
find the note of Mr.. Stanley in the STAR
of the 4th inst, and the comments of the
Commercial Of this morning subjoined.
l have no objection to the publicatio IL
of Mr.. Stanley's letter, or Colonel An
derson's reference of the same to the
Board Of Public Works. 1t is well
that they have attacked me in this pub
lie manner, well for them and well for
me, because it brings us into direct an
tagonism. hoped that might be per-
mitted to simmer down into private
life without any effort being made to
build up fictitious regulations on my
character. But it seems that men OF
small caliber and less information desire
to build themselves up by derogating
from the deserts Of others. do not de-
sire to subtract from the merits OF any
public official, but il that public official
attempts to charge me with either dis
honesty or incompetency, am prepared
to meet him in the public press orin any
other manner he may select. l have
facts now in my possession that can not
fail to show that the Board OF
Public Works, their Chief En-
gineer and the assistants work
ing under him, with the excep-
tion of George Z. Nugent, julius Jewert
and one or two others, do not know the
business for which they are hired.
Without the able assistance or these men
Col. Anderson, Of West Point tame,
could not remain in his office one month.
Through his cousin, Mr.. Foote, a MEM
Der of the Board of Public Works, he is
| simply imposed on the public service
without the capacity or experience nee
essary to perform the functions of the
most important office in the first city OF
Ohio. Through some system Of political
trickery he has been applauded by the
press at my expense. and will see in
the future, though humble citizen Of
| foreign birth, that no native, however
| influential, shall crowd me down. Ii the
gentlemen Of the Board OF Public Works
wish to make an issue with me, or want
to bolster up their pet, am ready for
the fight. Very respectfully,

Ex-City Civil Engineer.

friendship for England, and her grateful
remembrance of the passive aid rendered
her by Russia in her struggle with
France, still is unwilling that either
should come to command the mouths of
the Danube and shut off her traffic with
Western Asia. France and Italy are as
yet unpronounced.
Meanwhile the war goes on. In the
midst of European Turkey the strife is
Waged with unspeakable barbarities.
Its prOlongation can not fail in course of
time TO beget complications most serious
to nil Europe. Nor can that time be
greatly postponed. The policies ofgoverl =
ments, and the ferment of opinions, are
becoming almost daily increased in their
intensity of interest by reason of the
sequences that must flow from the
triumph OF the Turks. The situation
involves not only political, but also COM
mercial and religious, aspects; and
therefore, in some form or other, ad-
dresses itself to all Christendom. With
issues so momentous as these, it will be
indeed remarkable if this war can be
concluded by the triumph of the-Turks
and the subjugation of the Servians
without lighting the torch of war
throughout Europe.

and, being lover of blooded dogs, de-
sired him to name the price he would
take for her, when he smiIingly asked
what would give.
Thinking TO strike a quick bargain 1
offered him $75, not doubling that he
would take that sum, buthe very quietly
remarked, mo doubt you think you
have offered me large amount, but only
curiosity to know what you estimated

make an offer, but she can not be parted

Two States have voted on State tick
cts this week. Arkansas voted on Mon
day and Vermont on Tuesday. The for
mer was known to be Democratic, and
the latter Republican, beyond any per-
adventure. The only point to be made
in the case of either was as to the COM
parative strength oil their respective ma
iorities, as an index to the DRIFT Of pub
lie opinion.
The details of the ARKANSAS election
are not as yet very fully reported. But
the result at large in that State may be
stated as Democratic majority Of not
less than 10000, for the Governor. lr
1874 the Democratic majority for Gov
ernor was 76, 453. But in that year there
was really no organized opposition tC
the Democratic ticket on account OF Q
split on the construction of the new Con
Btitution.
In VERMONT, the largest Republican
majority ever given was for President
in 1865, when the majority was S2, 122
In 1872 the majority for President was
BO,001. In 1874 The majority for Governor
was 2O,325; and on the aggregate vote
for Congressman in that year, 1874, the
Republican majority was only S,217
From the returns thus far reported o
Tuesdays election, the Republican ma
iorlty for Governor will probably exceed
10000; and may even equal the Presi
Dental majority OF $4,000 in 1868, th
larpeRt ever given.
