CUSTER'S BATTLE. A Hostile Indian'* (irnpbic Story of the Fi?ht?Wlint liril Home Maw?Authcntlc 1 Account of the Indian honnvn. Lieutenant-General Sheridan has just received an important statement con- , cerniug the Custer massacre from Colonel , W oovl, commanding the Cheyenne agency i 1 post. It id no less than the story of Red 1 Horse, a sub-chief of the Minueconjoux j oioux, who assisted at tins memorable j fight. The story comes from a source : which tlio interpreter states may be ile- j pended upon as trustworthy. It appears ; that on the twenty-fifth of Febru- j nry 229 Sioux, belonging to the Minne- j coujoux, Sans Arcs and Two Kettles baiuls arrived at the Ciieyenne agency from the ihain hostile camp on Tongue river and surrendered, giving up their arms anil all their horses?some 300 in number. The principal men of this party were lied Horse, Spotted Elk and White Eagle. The former, upon coming in nt the agency, told Colonel Wood that he and his people wanted to behave themselves in future, and then, upon close questioning, told what he knew of the battle wherein Custer's command f wan aumnuateu. The following is his story of the battle a of " Greasy Grass creek," Little Big i Horn : Ou Greasy Grass creek was the main j1 camp of the hostiles. At that time I was one of the head councilmeu in that camp. The Uncapapas, Yanktonuais and Santees wore camped northeast of me, on the right, facing the battlefield. The Minneconjonx, San Arcs, Two i Kettles aud Brules formed the center. On the left to the west were the Ogallallas and Cheyenne. Ou the morning of attack myself and several women were i out about a milo from camp gathering L wild turnips. Suddenly one of the women called my attention to a cloud of ; dust rising in the neighborhood of the i camp. I soon discovered that troops j were making an attack. We ran for the j camp, aud when I got there I was sent j for at onoc to come to the couucil lodge. I found many of the councilmeu already ; there when I arrived. We had no time i to consult one another as to what action I we should take. We gave directions ! immediately for even* Indian to get his j horse iijnl arms; for women and children i tl.-:- l 1 ?i A 1 IV lUUUUb tllUJX UU1RC3 JUIU uut Ul IHU j ^ way, and for young men to go and meet ! t the troops. Among the latter was an offi- i a cer who rode a horse with white feet, j c Tiie Indians have fought a great many | s, tribes of people, and very brave ones, j !j ton, but they all say that this man was i c the bravest man they had ever met. I 11 don't know whether this man was Gener- j1 al Ouster or not. S >rae say it was. I j 'j! saw the man in the light several times, i ? but did nut see his body. It i$ said he r was killed by a Santec Indian, who still a holds his horse. This officer wore a I J1 large brimmed hat and a buckskin coat. | ? In speaking of him the Indians call him j (] the man who rode the horse with four l > white feet. There were two men of his j c description, looking very much alike, '! both having long yellowish hair. [It is ; believed that General Custer's hair was a cut comparatively short at the time of his A death.] ;1 S.w.e time before this fight we were ! camped on the Rosebud; but we moved, 0 crossed over and struck a tributary of w Greasy Grass creek, following it down to j b its mouth. We then crossed Greasy Grass creek and went into camp on the , 0 west bank. An Indian started to go to u Rod Cloud ag.-ncy that day, and when a few miles from camp he discovered dust | rising. He turned back and reported y that a large herd of buffalo was ap- I a proachiug camp. ! 0 The day was very warm, and a shoit time after he reported this the camp j, was attacked by troops who had follow- | a ed our trail down the tributary and j tl crossed Greasy Grass creek a little P above where we did and above the mouth rt, of this tributary. They attacked the j ? upper end of tiie camp, where the Uu- n capapas were. The women and children j k fled immediately down Greasy Grass r creek a little way and crossed over. The j troops set tire to the lodges. All the (j warriors then rallied and attacked this tl command in an overwhelming force and a drove them in confusion across the creek. " They forced them over a place below j where they first crossed. The creek was ] j, very high and swift and several of the -h troops were drowned. a After driving this party back the In- " dians corralled them on the top of a high ; n hill and held them there until they saw j, that the women and children were in n danger of being taken prisoners by au- 1 other party of troops which just then j ? made its appearance below. The word : ^ passed among the Indians like a whirl- ; wind and they all started to attack this g new party, leaving the troops on the ;a: hill. From this lull to the point where i the troops were seen below it was open crrouud all the wav with the exception of ! ;J the small tributary I spoke of before, a: As soon as we had finished this fight we j ? all went back to massacre the troops on I J' the hill. After skirmishing ar mud | c awhile we saw the walking soldiers coin- tl ing. These new troops making their ap- t( pearance was the saving of the others. H The attack was made on the camp p' about noon. The troops, it appears, ' ^ were divided, one party charging right . oi into cam]). We drove them across the j ?< creek. When we attacked the other ' J* party we swarmed down on them and drove them in confusion. ir] No prisoners were taken. All were ' in killed. None were left alive, even for a j r* few minutes. These troopers used very few of their cartridges. I to >k a gun and ^ a couple of belts off two dead men. Out jt of one belt two cartridges were got; out si of the other, live. It was with the cap- w tared ammunition and arms that we J1 fought the other body of troops. If they j had all remained together they would ))( have hurt us very bad. The party we st killed made five different stands. Once h' we charged right in until we scattered a' the whole of them, fighting among them hand to hand. Ono band of soldiers ~1.

Then tlie k Indians gut courage and started for ? them in h solid body. We went hut a ^ little distance when we spread out and tl encircled them. All the time I could see a their officers riding in front and lieur them, shouting to their men. It was in jj this charge that most of the Indians 0 were killed. j ii We lost 13(5 killed and 100 wounded, b We finished up this party right there in n the ravine. 1 " [Gcmeral Sheridan is of opinion that J, " Red Horse" meant to say that 130 n were killed and 1(50 were wounded dur- (? injr the entire engagement, and not in J auv one particular charge. ] a The troops up the river made the first v attack by skirmishing. A little while af- n ter the fight commenced with the other c troops below the village. While the lat- J ter fight was going on we posted some j, Ituliaus to prevent the other command i from forming a junction. Some of the g young men took the clothing off the dead J and dressed themselves in it. There * were several men among them who hail t citizen clothing. They then went up n and attacked the other command in that t way. Both hanks of the river were very 1 steep and difficult of ascent. Many of j the troops were killed while crossing. c When they got on cue nui iney maue t some kind of lighting works and the light ? was then carried on at a distancfe, the J young men sometimes charging close up. i' The tight continued at long range until the walking soldiers came. , i [This was the General Terry column, 1 which arrived at a point near the battle- ,1 field 011 the night of the twenty-sixth of J June. ] i There are' many little incidents con- i nected witli this fight, but I don't rccol- j1 lect them. I don't like to talk about j that fight; if I hear any of my people j talking about it I always move away. 11 x NEWS ITEMS. What Is Doing In the Old World and the New.

Tlie Jenuens Estate unit i??The Clianee* of j On the borders of Suffolk and Essex, two miles from the old English market town of Laveiiham, whose parish church, renowned for its exquisite tracery work and carving, is a monument of the pious ! munificence of the Do Veres, stood at the j close of the last century a sumptuous and stately mansion called Acton Place, I razed to the ground more than forty | years ago. It was not at that time an old t house by any means, says the New York j Timcx, from which we clip, having only been erected about 1720 by Robert Jen- j nens, who had purchased the estate. This gentleman was a member of one of ! the first families who grew wealthy in the j Birmingham trade. His father, Humphrey, acquired an enormous fortune in that town by button making and other metal work, and took up his abode at Erdington Hall in the neighborhood. He 1 left several sons, who appear to have had j souls above buttons, and set up as gen- j tlemen, although we believe that the 1 descendants of his brother make buttons ' at Birmingham to this hour. Charles j Jennens? Humphrey's eldest son who attained manhood?married into the old Norman family of Burdett?the same of which the Baroness Burdett-Coutts is so worthy a scion?and seated himself at Gopsall in Leicestershire. Robert, brother of Charles, seems to have resided in London, and to have j' been much in the army; he was aidc-dc- !: camj) to William III., and subsequently much occupied in real estate transac- J < tious. Although it does not appear that 11 he was related to Sarah, Duchess of ' Marlborough, whose maiden name was j the same as his, there was a close inti- j maey between them, and Mr. Robert ' Jennens was largely intrusted with the ! management of the vast and scattered | J properties, and the investment of the ( enormous hoards which John Churchill ( and his grasping wife were daily accu- j1 ululating. With both Jennens and his 1 wife?the descendant of an eminent j1 Florentine family settled in England? ! the duchess was in constant correspond-! ! ence, and most oi' her letters contain an ' allusion to their only child, William, i j This William Jennens was godson? | some scandal mongers even hinted that ; J he was son?of King William III., page i to George I., and lived thirty-ei-ht years . ] into the reign of George III. He inherited from his father, whom he survived ' j seventy-three years, a large fortune, and , probably derived more from his uncle, since it is difficult otherwise to account ,' for his fortune beiiig at his death so co- j j lossal, inasmuch as Robert Jennens' let- , ters to the duchess do not indicate that lie was more than affluent, and William, . though living far below his income, was ! not a miser, but lived at Acton Place in ; lmiiHurimo imtarl for his lnvnrioiifi i ^ table, nml hail a house in Grosvenor J .square, the best place of resilience in)' London. But at his death it was found , ] that he had, besides large real .estate, 1 accumulated upward of two millions 1 sterling, a sum almost unknown up tj ! j that date. When lie died, in 1798, the ' dividends on most of his stocks and the ! i interest on his mortgages hail not been 1 claimed for years. In his iron chest I! were bank notes of 1788, to the amount ; of ?19,000, and several thousand new guineas. He had never employed a j, regular steward. 11 A will was found in his pocket, but j unsigned. His servant explained that j Mr. Jennens went to execute it at his . lawyer's, but finding that he was without ( his spectacles deferred doing so. On ] what little poiuts do our fortunes some- I times turn. This omission cost several '1 people hundreds of thousands sterling. ! In the absence of a will the realty passed . to the heir-at-law. This was the de- | scendaut of his father's oldest brother, ] Charles, of Gopsall, whose daughter and ' heiress married William Hanmer. By '! 11 him she hail ft daughter, Hester, wife or : | Assheton Curzon. They hud n son, J Penn. He married Lady Sophia, heiress 1 of Earl Howe, and that earldom becom- ' j ing extinct, was revived in the person i ( of her son. Tims the present Earl Howe ', owns at this day the real estate of Wil- I liam .Tennens. Now, for his personalty, j In default of a will duly executed,administration with the will annexed was on the i sixth of .Tilly, 1708, granted to William i Lygon, Esq., and light Hon. Mary j Viscountess Andover,the cousins gerinan onee removed, and nearest of kin of the j said deceased. They were the grand- i children of his aunt#, ami a step nearer I to him than the inheritors of the real es- | tate, but not so near indirect male do- , s.'ent. The connection of his father ' and mother with the M irlboroughs wa < 1 brought to light by this devolution of the personalty, inasmuch as there was ); found mong the papers at Maureslielu ; ?the seat of Lord Beanchamp, head of i T fninilv O tArin* nf 1 ?f>. 1 tween the Jennenses nud the Marl- ' J boroughs, which Lord Beuucliamp published la^t yaar; probably at tlie instance of his accomplish* d father-in-law, the i lata Earl Stanhope, the historian. But it is notable that neither the Curzon nor the Beauchamp pedigree in the 44 Peer- , age " refers to the source of so much of i their property. Here, then, is the hi story of the man who is supposed to be awaiting heirs. From some inexplicable circumstance j the idea got abroad that it remained unappropriated, and it must be presumed ; that certain cunning persons connected w'th the law have found it profitable to j encourage this lond dehlsion. A quarter of a century ago the (Scnilr.mana \ Magazine printed a statement to the effect that: "The long litigated case of the Jennings estate has been nettled by the court of i Chancery. The property lies principally in the county of Suffolk, and at one period was estimated at ?7,000,000, but only onehalf of that amount has been divided by the late decision. Two claimants reside in Chelmsford. One, a journeyman j p.iintcr, lias received ?500,0(K)." But next month follows an explanation | to the effect that: "Our correspondent, it appears, de- ] rived his information indirectly from the painter himself, who, much advanced in years, having been called to town to ret- ; tsich liis signature to some document con- j nected with the proceedings in his be- ! half, fancied that he hod by his autograph i secured the property !" Tho editor proceeds to state that he | had received a communication from the Jennens Family Association, from which he is led to believe that all the chancery < "doubts" as to the rightful owners are not 1 yet dispelled, and that all the claimants | may still indulge the idea that they have ( yet a chance of the prize. That claimants, t here at all events, continue to do so, is i evident from a recent paragraph in the 1 New Haven Palladium, of Feb. 3d, jj where we read that: _ r " The American heirs of the Jennings I estate in England held a meeting at a t> .1 i. n i.1. _ o.i_ l n l ~ e h j>nugeporc, uonn., on uie unriy-urbb 01 | January, two hundred being present. ? Competent agents will be employed to t thoroughly prepare the case. ;The estate p is valued at $80,000,000, of which 860,- d 000,000 is in personalty. The English j1 courts have rejected the claim of the -j English branch of the family." , t We have no doubt of it, uor have we | i' auy that they will do precisely the same j ? by that of the American branch. That j somebody, however, h is made, and j f, hopes to make, a snug thing out of this , c delusion we also feel assured. This sort ^ of game goes on all the time, aud it is ? but. a few years since two rogues who | ? had served in a laser's office, and wliile j ti there contrived to obtain points in the | n family history of various persons, re- l c ceiveil for a length of time large sums of j (c mouey on the assurance that they were i j agents of the Lord Chancellor, who had ' tl directed them to inquire into the claims . ii certain persons had to estates which he I K desired to apportion among the heirs, j If persons here who imagine themselves j ^ to be interested in English estates, had j j a grain of sense in their heads, they | b would subscribe an adequate sura, and j u then apply to the British consul to nomi- j c nate some respectable Englishman, con- ; versant with family history, and matters i akin thereto, to institute inquiries, a | ? course which would speedily elicit tire j H truth. I q The Emperor William's Speech. The German Reichstag being opened I [ the emperor made a Bpeech in which he adverted to the depressed state of com- ( merce and industry, and also to the deficiency in the budget. It proposed that | n the deficiency, amounting to 25,500,000 | ^ marks, be met by raising the matricula- I ii tory contributions payable by the States. The speech also refers to Eastern affairs, | j. and expresses the opinion that the ])eace j << of Europe will not be broken. The dan- j 1 gers which might result from the East- | v em question, still unsolved, threaten j (| Germany in a less degree than any other i u country. I u Should the expectations now enter- ! ^ tainrd, based upon the promises of the : n Porte oil the one hand and the opening ; * of negotiations for peace on the other, i with Servia and Montenegro, fail to be | l realized, the imperial government, while j v recognizing the fact that the present j question does not prescribe any precise j line of conduct for itself, will continue j ^ to exert its influence, as hitherto, on be- j half of the protection of the Christians ' n in Turkey, and of the preservation of the ! peace of Europe, above all things, how- j ever, strengthening its own good rela- \ c bions with governments, allied v otherwise, friendly to it. j, - The Empress Charlotte. j f ti _ ?m i.i? i. i in. ii.. -ci I r> jli is sum limb wit; Jitmiui ui liic jcjiu- | ~ press Charlotte, the unfortunate wife of [j the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, e continues to improve, though there seems n 10 prospect of her ever regaining her B reason.
