Aug. 10.-We have reached a queer
country called the Bad Lands" about
three hills TO one hollow. When we first
saw it from a steep bank Gen. Sully said,
That looks like hell with the fires out" for
as far as the eye could reach the whole
country looked black and charred and very
rough. 1t looked as if the whole section of
country, said TO be some 20 TO 30 miles wide
and over 100 miles long, had at some pre-
historic date been upheaved by some ter
rible volcanic disturbance, burned and
charred and then sank down below the level
Of the surrounding country.
We found specimens of large trees petri-
fled, some veins of coal and iron deposits
and other ores, also found large chunks and
slabs of isinglass or mica; altogether a very
interesting but deSolate country, very little
grass and poor water. We are obliged
to make roads for our trains and artillery,
and in consequence travel is very slow.
Aug. live are now camped on the
banks OF the Little Missouri River. Good
water, but grass poor and scarce. Our men
are washing up and resting. Some Of the
citizen miners have been prospecting, and
have been washing out sand from the bed
Of dry creeks and have found indications Of
gold dust, which caused great excitement.
Everybody was down at the river wash

The great broon-corn district of the
world is in Illinois, and takes in Douglas,

may drive 20 miles in any direction and
find broomcorn. II is the principal pro-
ducing section in tho United States. al

and Mcpherson. Kan.
Last year the district produced Ii 600
tons. The product this year is estimated
as high as 20,000 tons. All agree that tho
grade Of brush is good.
The movement OF the commodity has
Just commenced. Growers are delivering
| freely, and there will probably be crovdin9
Of the market The price. which com.
menced at $40 ton, has slumpei to $50.
Last year in territory taking in Arcols,
Arthur, Kemp and Hlndsboro . train Of
80 cars hauling 24o tons was hauled away
in one day. At one warehouse 500 baIes
were handled in Acola IN ono day.
Nest Of the brooncern is shipped to the
East, much OF it going to Canada points.
Some goes to California and not little to
Australia.
One man in tho district has 23O acres in

Broorncorn was started in this section of
Illinois by mere chance. A man from Ken
tnclsy, Col. Cofef, received handful of
seed from relatives in Tennessee. The
plant ffoyrished and the soil was found
to be particularly adapted to its growth.
From that small beginning the industry has
grown until the four Illinois Counties pro-
duce the brush sufficient to sweep large
area of the earth.

BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS.
July 30.-The big battle is over. Day
before yesterday, about noon, we finally
reached their village of about 800 lodges,
and found about 5000 Indians. They
wanted TO parley and make treaty, but
the fight started and lasted all the after
noon, until night. We routed and scat
tered them in all directions, killing a good
many, and did not take single one pris-
oner.
We are in possession Of their village, and
camp near big spring at the foot of high
range of hills. This place is called Taxa
koota. The fight was one-sided affair.
They made no stand at all, and it was
running fight from start to finish.
Only about one-haH Of the Indians had
firearms, and these were mostly shotguns:
the rest had bows and arrows. They had
no chance with us at all against our breech-
loading. long-range guns. Brackets bat

in the hand, and our SergeantMajor
Eugene Marshall, of my mess, was sho

killed and wounded. During the charge
became separated from the boys, and took
after an Indian alone, and ran into a bunch
of them in a thicket. They fired, killing
my horse, and took after me on foot and
ran for keeps as [ had never run before
in fact, [ did not know that I could run
until had to, and finally made my escape
and joined the boys; but it was a CLOSE
shave.
On our way back to join the rest of the
command after our charge, saw an Indian

scarce. This is a fine country for grazing
and raising stock. Our men and horses
are rested up and feel first rate. We are
marching by easy stages, but in very con-

scouts out. We have seen Indians every
day in small squads watching us. We
also saw several smoke signals made by
the hastiles that are interpreted by our
friendly indian scouts to mean orders to
come in, or assemble, to all their outside
rowing bands.

THEY HAVE LEFT US HERE TO DIE.
COMPOSED BY JAS. W. HYATT, SER

Printed at Annapolis in 1854.
| When our country called for men,

From workshop, farm and factory,
The broken ranks to fill.
We left our quiet homes,
And the ones we loved so well,
10 vanqulsh all our Unions foes,
l. Or fall where others fell.
NOW IN prison drear we languish,
AND 1t Is our constant cry,
Both Faith and Love are dead at homo,
They have left us hero to die.
The voice of slander tells YOU
- Ihat our hearts are weak with fear,
Ihat all or nearly all of us
-, Were captured in the rear.
Inc scars upon our bodies
From mnsket ball and shell.
The shattered limbs and shattered arms
A thousand tales will tell
We have tried to do our duty
In sight of God on high
Oh, You who yet can save us,
VIII you leave us here to die?
There are hearts and hopes still heating
In our pleasant Northern homes,
Waiting, watching for their loved ones
VINO may never more return.
In Southern prison pi'ing,
Meager, tattered, pale and gaunt,
Growing weaker, weaker daily
From pinching cold and want,
Brothers, sons and husbands,
Poor and hopeless, captured lie.
Both Faith and Love are dead at home,
They have left us here TO die
just outside our prison gate
There IS graveyard and close at hand
Where lie II 600 Union men
Beneath the Georgia sand
Scores and scores are laid beside them
AS day succeeds each day,
And thus it shall be ever
Till the last shall pass away.
And the last can say when dying,
With uplifting. glazing eye.

They have left us here to die.

Aug. 25.-In the march down the Mis-

several fords where the buffalo cross in their
migrations in the Spring and Fall. We
found plenty Of Indian signs, and at one
ford found Indications that large party

trail commanded by Col. Potter. They
followed the trail several days without
overtaking the Indians or getting in sight,
and returned, reporting that the Indians had
crossed the boundary into British territory
