CHICAGO, January 2a.-Lieutenant Var
nun was cross-examined this morning re.
garding the Custer massacre, and testified
that tho Gray Horse Cavalry, which he
had mentioned must have been that OF
Reno's command. was entering an en-.
gogement with the Indians, and Custer
must have known that they were at bay;
and in witness judgment any careful com.
mander would have inquired into the stu.
alton Of troops from which he expected
support. There was no Misunderstanding.
The Indians were probably not less than
four to five thousand strong, and half that
force was too great for halfthe whole com.
mand. He thought Reno was right in
using his own judgment in getting out Of
the woods.
DR.. H. r. Parties, Of Bismarck, acting
Assisting Surgeon under Custer, with Re.
nos battalion, testified that he heard the
Adjutant deliver to Reno, the command to
cross the ford and charge the Indians.
The Adjutant told the witness that Custer
would support Reno. Reno obeyed the
order and the fight progressed with the
Indians for while but finally the Indians
made q charge and not the troops, q fact
which surprised the witness.

In looking over some old records yester.
J.y, We came across the following mem
Oroble secret circular, issued by star
chamber unta Of patriots at Richmond in
the eary days of 1861, among whom was
the pious Sam Woods, Of Barbour county,
aspirant for the shoes Of Ben. Martin in
Congress from the Second District. 1t
reads as follows: .Ls
"Your presence is particularly request
pl at Richmond on the 10th day OF April,
isl, to consult with the friends Of South
rrn Rightsas TO the course which Virginia
should pursue in the present emergency.
Please bring with YOU, or send full dele
cation Of TRUE und REIABLE men from
YOUR own county, and, II convenient, aid
iheAme object in the surrounding Coun-
ties On arriving at Richmond report
yourself aRd companions to Nat Tyler, at
SpOttswOOd Hotel"
Sam Woods was the only Egncr OF this
document from the territory now COM
prising the State OF West Virginia. He
having come into the State from Penn
Slyania was naturally anxious to acquire
some Southern rights, and hence it was
that early in the Secession movement he
experienced decided weakness for such
lreeatcrs as Henry a. Wise and other
cO-signers Of this memorable and mis-
chieyiouscaIl. We publish it now to help
Sam along in his aspirations for Martins
place. II ought to give him the inside
track in the next contest. The Democracy
generally appreciate and prefer pioneer
ScceSsonist like Sam when proof turns
up that he was the genuine article,
