NEW YORK, July s.-A dispatch from the
battlefield says: al write from the scene OF
Clusters magnihcent but terribly-fatal
charge; from plateau on which, but few
hours since, saw at glance lis heroic sol
diers OF the 7th United States cavalry lying
where they fell at the hands Of a savage foe,
cold and dead. Near the top of a little knoll
In the center OF this plateau lay Custer him
self; and IL touched my heart 10 see that the
heroic clay, had respected the corpse OF the
man they knew so well. Other bodies were
mutilated; Clusters was uutouched-a trio
ute of respect from such an enemy more real
than q title of nobility.
HE LAY AS IF ASLEEP,
his face calm and q smile on his lips. Near
him were eleven dead officers. Capt. Miles
Keogh was on his right, and his brother
Capt. Thomas Custer, on his left. Almost
at Clusters feet lay fair, beautiful boy OF
10. This was young Reed, Clusters nephew
He was visiting the general At the time he
was ordered on the expedition and insisted
upon going with him: In the neld a little
generals brothers. Within q few feet of
each other the three brothers had fallen, and
on the skirmish line was the body of Lieut.
Calhoun, the husband of Clusters sister
Mrs. Calhoun lost here q husband, three bro
theirs and q nephew.
KELLOGG, the special correspondent OF the
New York Herald was found on the skirmish
line near Lieut. Calhoun.
More Troops Ordered 60 the Front
NEW YORK, July 8-Chicago specials
state that six companies OF infantry at De-
tToit and on the lakes were last night order
ed 10 the front Immediately. Orders were
also sent TO the 9Th cavalry TO concentrate
at Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies.
Dispatches from the frontier and the plains /
show desperate feeling OF indignation
against the Indians. Considerable anxiety
has been manifested at Sheridan's head /
quarters concerning Crooks command.
Nothing whatever has been heard from him
since the engagement on the Rosebud, and \
IL 10 not known whether he has encountered /
the savaees or not. 1t IL thought that he has /
again met the savages or he would otherwise |
have CO operated with Terry before this |
time. 1t is the belief at headquarters that
