Oct 4-'p. m.-No courier could be gotten
OF last night, owing to the constant ring OF
the Indians iIto the camp. The moon came up
an hour after dark, and a volley was poured in
at once. Our party who went after water was
unmolested, and we had our little stockade all
cleared for action before the firing was re-
suned. AZ write this dispatch the bullets are
whistling over the top of the trench They
Often strike the grain sacks, a few inches above
our heads, but we are deep enough to be COM
paratively safe.
soldier of Gen. Merritt's command sends
later report, in which he says: ooh, what a
happy crowd Payne's command was when Mer-
rift reached them! The sight of the Fifth caval-
ry entering under Gen. Merritt and Col. Compton
was q grand one. The poor fellows in the in
trenchments at first probably thought we were
Indiana We were Immediately challenged by
Q sentinel, and in reply answered that we
were friends. Gen. Merritt caused the trum-
pet to sound the officers call, and at its end
three big cheers rent the air. They were re-
lieved at last The sight was one of the most
affecting have ever seen, and brave men shed
tears. There is horrible stencil all around
Wounded men are hobbling in every direction
One hundred and fifty dead horses, lying thir-
~ feet from the intrenchments, present hor-
rible spectacle.
