August 4, Qoueral Ous? ter, with Bloody Kuife and a squadron of oavalry, had boen detailed by General Stanley to go on several milpa in ad vanca of tho wagons and look up a road. Having gone about ton miles ahead, they halted, picketed their homes in tbe woods by a river, to wait for the train. Two hours afterward, six Indiaus ap? peared on the plain aud made demon? strations toward the camp. A dis? mounted line of skirmishes was thrown out and horses saddled. The Indians were easily driven off, but proved a de? coy of a largo party in the neighboring woods, waiting in ambush for the oavalry. Finding the ru?e failed, the Indians, to the number of 3?0, boldly rode out and advauced on the grove occupied by the cavalry. General Ous? ter had ouly one squudron of eighty men, under command of Captain May ber. The men again dismounted aud formed a skirmish line. The ludiaus also dismounted, formed a line iu u semi-circle around the cavalry, who had the river at their bucks. Rapid firing was kept up at a distanec of 400 yards. General Custer deferred charging, hop? ing the main command would sc ou come up aud assist in capturing the Indians. After a three hours' fight, his ammuni? tion gave out; bo then charged the lu? diaus, who precipitately fled, dropping many of their equipments. After re? treating several miles, they took to the head lauds. One man slightly wounded in the arm and one horse wounded, formed the extent of Ouster's loss. While the fight wbb going on, several Indians left the war party, iu search of stragglers from the train. Coming upon A. Hausinger, veterinary surgeon, and Mr. Botarin, oavalry sutler, who were less than a mile from the column, they killed them and took their clothes and their valuables. Private John Ball, of the cavalry, while out huuting, met a similar fate. In the fight, two Indians were killed and several wounded. They lost several -ponies. General Stanley direoted General Custer to take the cavalry, numbering 450 men, and follow the traii, and, if possible, overtake and punish the Indians. General Custer left on the night of the 8th. On the morning of August 11, at day-light, he was attacked by about 800 Indians, who oame down to the river and fired on his camp. Tho firing was returned for two or three hours?both parties using the trees as cover. A party of 300 Indians then crossed the river above and below the camp and endeavored to gain the bluffs iu the rear. Tho men were dis? mounted and posted on the bluffs, and received them bravely. The Indians, from behind ridges, kept up a galling fire, until Custer ordered a charge. The men then mounted and pursued them hotly for eight miles. Just at this time, the train came up and oponod on the Indians across the river with artil? lery. A few shots dispersed them and ended the fight. This battle, which took place within two miles of tho Big Horn, was a fierce one. General Custer and Adjutant Ketchum had their horses shot under them. Lieutenant Brudeu was badly shot in the thigh. Private Tuttie, General Ouster's orderly, wa3 killed, and twenty soldiers slightly wounded. Four horses were killed aud three wounded. The Indian loss is estimated by General Custer at forty killed and wounded. Tho Indians wore well armed with heavy rifles and had abundant ammunition. Some wore dressed in clothee procured at tho agencies. These wero mainly Uucapa pas, supposed to bo under command of Setting Bull. They arc also supposed to havo received their supplies from bort Pike, on the Missouri. Tho expe? dition arrived at Pompoy's Pillar on the 15th; reached Mussel Shell, 150 miles from Fort Benton, on the 19th, and is now homeward bonud.

When they light .on tho snow banks they becomu so chilled they cannot fly away, and accumulate in tho small depressions in great numbers, giv? ing the bears a splendid feast." A very interesting investigation is go? ing ou in Washington. In the official statement published of the amount of gold in tho treasury, on Juno 20, 1873, tho amount of gold on hand was repre? sented as $S7,55S,402, when tho fact is that the amoant was but 871,409,230, making a deiicit of ?10,407,442.

But one of the women of Keokuk, Iowa, wishing to aid in the oreotion of a church, but having no funds, worked four days on the edifice putting on laths. That is a striking in? stance of manual labor piety.
