1877.
POST ADJUTANT, FORT RANSOM
SIR: Ihave the honor to report that in
compliance with the verbal orders OF the maior
commanding the battalion I marched with
four officers and seventy men Of Companies n
ana ii, til infantry, to the relief OF Lieut..
Inornton's detachment Of the Eleventh cav
airy, reported besieged by Indians at this
point Leaving camp Of the battalion on the
Mini Ska at a. m. on Wednesday, with three
days cooked rations, we reached Buf1alo
Springs soon after dawn (six ana one-half
miies), pushed on through Wagon gap, reach
ing the headwaters Of Fossil creek (twenty-
seven and one-half miles from camp) OF lO:4A.
From this point our advance was SLOW as In
aians could be seen along the heights, and we
mad reason to expect attack. They drew OF ct
our approach, however, and we reached the be-
sieged party at Slaughter cove about 1 D. m.
much to the relief Of Its members, who, though
at no time suffering for food or water, were
without surgical attention for their wounded.
and had had sharp fight with large force of
hostlles on Sunday, and had been under fire
much OF the time ever since. Fortunately for
them, the general engagement between their
comrades Of the Eleventh and the main body
OF the enemy. forty miles to the southeast, had
the effect OF drawing nll but n small nun,har
away from their front and Of driving tben,
thence to the agency. There il every reason
to believe however. they would have returned
by this time to finish their bloody worlx had yva
not been hurried to the scene

The Question of Filling Hi. Place on the
National aud State Commfttaa


Richmond. Va, Oct. 1O.-The vir.
glnia Republicans are entirely at sea as
to what they will do towards filling the
vacancy In the national and State com
mlttees OF their party occasioned by the
oeath OF General Malone. The Rennb-
loans who attended his funeral at
Petersburg yesterday say that there was
no formal conference on the subject.
Inc matter was not brought up in any
shape. Judge Waddill, who. was seen
Dy reporter OF the Associated
rress this morning, said that the cues
zion has not yet been considered in anv
way. Judge Waddlll was under the
Impression that the members of Mia
party would cast their votes for the
"Fair cleo ton" ticket.
Speaking further upon the question
OF mahone's successor, Judge Wsddi,l
saio tnat his impression was that the
republican State executive committee
Will have to call a meeting OF the ven-
eraI State committee. That committee
ne thinks, was composed of Malone.
Stlth Boiling and Alvin II. Msrtin. of
norfolk county, and Mesers. Bolli o.
ana Martin will, he thinks, elect Ma
hone's successor as chairman OF the
State ommittee.
Judge Waddil said that while he was
In Washington nobody seemed able to
tell now mahone's successor as MEM
Der OF the national committee should be
siected. Elk Postmaster Russell, who
haa peen giving much thought to the
SUBJECT, thinks the two mem bers of the
executive committee will call a meet
ing OF the general committee and that
committee will elect Mahone's success
sor as chairman of the State commits
tee' and also choose his successor az
mem Der of the national Republic IN
com mittee. He thinks this must be
done In short time, as the national
ommittee has to meet in December.
