Col. Nekenxie's Report of the Recent
Battle.

CHICAGO, December 1.-The off
cial report Of Col. Mckenzie, Colonel
Uf the Fourth cavalry, was received
at military headquarters here to day
Ii states that about noon on the 24th
inst, while marching in a south
westerly direction toward the Sioux
pass of the Big Horn Mountains five
advance scouts net him reporting
that the main camp OF the Cheyennes
was about fifteen or twenty miles
distant. About sunset the command
began moving toward the hOstiles,
reaching The village after daylight,
completely surprising the Indians aud
compelling them TO vaeate the vii
lage suddenly and take refuge in a
r%uyine. After a brisk fight, lasting
an hour, aud skirmishiDg till night,
they capitulated. The entire village,
having T7S lodges, with all the con-
cents, WIS destroyed. Five hnndrel
ponies were captured, and twenty
live Indian bodies were found. IL Is
almost certain that a much larger
number Yves killed Five soldiers
aud one officer were killed on our
side, and twenty-five wounded be-
sides one ShoshoDe scout belonging
to US. Fifteen cavalry horses and
four hors9s Of the Indian scouts were
killed. The command moved to camp
on Powder river, whence this iep,r.
was made on the goth inst. Lieuten-
ant Mckenny, Fourth cavalry, who
was killed, was one of ths most gal
lant officers aud honorable of men.
General Crook, in transmitting his
report, says: | cannot commend too
nightly this brilliant achievement
and ~gallantry OF the troops. This
will be a terrible blow 10 the bostiles,
as these Cheyennes were not only
the bsageGt EeITiors but have been
the head and front OF most Of tbe
raids and deviliry committed in this
country.
