Headquarters Department OF the Colum-
bia, Camp Williams, Left bank of
South FOX of Clearwater, near mouth
ofCottonwood, |. r., July ~, via Walla
Walla. Joly 14th 1877.
To H. CLAY WOOD, Assistant Adjutsnt
General:
BY making a forced march,I struck
the enemy at p NJ. yesterday, about
300 strong, in u deep canyon near the
mouth of Cottonwood on south fork OF
Clearwater. Iopened fire at once with
howitzers and succeeded in starting the
Indians from their position. Passing
around transverse canyon for u NILS
and a half began the battle in good
earnest. The Indians fought us mount
ed and dismounted, from ravnes and
behind rock barbados, for seven hours;
but in every charge we made ground on
them, still, at night, our position was
not good one, as the enemy lay con.
hguous to my communications, and l
was short of rations. This morning We
began operations by regaining ourspring
of water from some sharp shooters. This
afternoon I gave ou. lines to the care of
Col. Perry, commanding the cavalry, and
Capt. Miles, the battalion of infantry,
and drew out Capt. MillGr's battalion OF
artillery, acting as infantry. Just as we
were ready to recommends the offensive
work, Captain Jackson, with pack train
appeared in sight beyond the Indians
position, Miller pushed out in skirmish
order nnd met the train and escort sue
cessfully. They had hardly formed
junction with us when the artillery bat.
TALON, already beyond the enemy's flank
made rapid movement with Gatling
gun and howitzer along. The Indians
made one desperate effort to flank Miller,
but failed, and then gave way. Every
thing was then pushed to the pursuit.
We shelled them rapidly from the high
bluhs as they escaped, from the left bank
of the river, and followed them escaping
in every direction as far rs the river, and
are now across and gong into camp at
| 7:30 r. M. The losses of the Indians sp--
pear to DO thirteen killed and quite n
large number wounded. We have Capt.
Bancroft and Lieut.. Williams wounded,
also eleven enlisted men killed and TWEEN
| ty-iour wounded Their camps were
abandoned in great haste, leaving much
plumber. The Indians fought as well rs
any troops ever saw, and SO did ours,
not one man failing in duty. now
believe that am in fine condition, just
as soon rs Green appears from Boise, to
make thorough work with these hostile
Indians. They are making for the Snake
country, and for concentration at hit
Idaho, Troops have never done harder
or more rapid campaigning or better
fighting than these. o. o. HOWARD,
Brigadier General Commanding.

Ir is disgrsceful to this community
that we have communication with Seat,
tie four times week regularly, and mai
only twice. 1t is disgraceful also
that no route is established from here tG
Falls City via Qualco to the SnOqualmie
River. Bids have been offered for the
service cheap enough, and the contract
should have been let.

New YORK, February 81. "A cable
dispatch states that thirty vessels, many
with their entire crews have been lost
in q gale on the English coast on the
night OF the 18TH, The area of the storm
was exceptionally extensive, and en-
braced q greater part OF the British
islands, and the who.e of northern and

storm. was extraordinary, the force OF the
gale has been only eqIalled during recent

Wreck OF the British Bark Maria.
BosToN, February 2l.-A letter re-
ceived from Capt. Kane, Of the schooner
f. Z. Mcdonald, dated Goree, west coast
of Africa, January Oath, says that on his
outward passage from Boston he fell in
with the wreck of the British bark
Maria, Captain Grayson, having on board
two survivors of crew of fourteen men,
the others having persisted from ex-
posture and famine. The wreck was dis
covered in latitude $50 80, longitude S2'
3V, with her masts gone and full OF
water. The two men were taken on board
the schooner, but one died IN four hours.
From the sole survivor it was ascertained
that the bark was bound from Georgia
to Belfast, Ireland; that she sprung
leak in gale and filled with water, SO it
was impossible to save any provisions or
fresh water. The lumber with which the
vessel was laden prevented her from
sinking, but the weight of the masts
turned the vessel on her beam ends until
the mast broke away, when she righted
and the men regained the deck. Having
no food or water they soon began to die
of starvation, and as soon as one
died the rest subsisted upon the
dead body, and so on until only two
were left. The survivor, James Nc
Lsughlin, belongs to Belfast, Ireland,
and says only small portion Of the
bodies could be eaten. No one was kill
ed, but the momeut one died the survi-
vors cut the throat OF the deceased and
drew his blood and then divided the
heart and brains. 1t was thirty-two
days from the time of the disaster until
the wreck was sighted, and during all
that time the crew had not drop of
water or other food than the bodies Of
their dead shipmates.

Telegram from Mr.. TildeD.

NEw YORK, February Ex-Governor
Tilden has sent the'following communi.
cation to Senator Herman:
NEW YORK, February q, 1877.
To Hon. Francis Herman, Washington:
A telegram to the Associated Press
published this forenoon, states that a
harmonious agreement has been brought
about between the Senate commit
tee of which you are member, and a
committee OF the House, by which
it has been decided not to 60
into an examination of my bank
account on the one hand, or the accounts
of the Chairman of the Republican
Committee on the other hand. l repu-
diate any such agreement and disclalm
any such immunity, protection or bene-
lit from it. l reject utterly the false
imputation that my private bank ac-
count contains anything whatever that
needs be concealed. Under the pretense of
looking for a payment, IN December
n demand was made for all payments
after May and all deposits during nine
months. The bank was re-
paatedly menaced with removal
of its officers and books to
Washington. A transcript of the entries
OF private business trusts and charities,
containing everything but what the
committee. was comm is,ioned TO inyeslis
gate, but nothing which it was com.
missloned to investigate because nothing
of that sort existed, has been taken with
my knowledge to Washington. Ot
course there is no item In it relating to
in Oregon, for l never made,
authorized or knew of any expenditure
IN relation to the election IN that State,
or the resulting controversies, or
any promise or obligation on
the subject Mr.. Ellis, acting president
of the bar k, himself Republican, some
time ago told the chairman
of the committee AID several
of its members that there is
nothing in the account capable of fur.
thering any just.o6ject of investigation.
l am also informed that resolution was
passed to summon me as witness, but
have received no subpoena. i had
written before this telegram az
peared, requesting you to say to the
committee that it would be IN ore agrees-
Bile to me not to visit Washington, if the
committee would send a subcommittee
or hold session here, but that otherwise
| should attend under the subpoena. AS
to this agreement now reported, l have
only to say can accept decorum and
decency, but not a ticticious equivalent
for mantle OF secrecy TO anybody else.
