THE BATTLE OF THE “FOUR LAKES.” {From the New York Express.} We have received letters from our special army correspondents, containing accounts of the battle of the Four Lakes, together with the official Ly eer of the commanding officers. From the different letters we collate the follow- ing account: ol. Wright’s colamn was detained two days at Fort Taylor, by violent rains; they then took two days to cross the river with the supplies Their march for the three following days was a toilsome one, as the command was pushed for- ward witb all possible rapidity. Angust 30, the Indians were first seen. Just after they got into camp, two of the Nez Percea rode in, announcing that a body of Spekans were approaching. The dragoons at once sad- died their horses, and held them ready to start at & moments notice. About half an hour after, shots were heard exchanged between the outposts and the hostile, when the companies tarned out, but before they got under arms the Indians retreated. During the next day's march. a small body of forty or Sfty mounted warriors kept in sight all day. These (xs was afterwards found to the case) were supposed to be scouts from the main body. Whenever the dragoons deployed to- wards them, they took to flight at once. Just before getting into camp at night, they rode up near the rear guard, set fire to the grass, and fired a few shots. Capt. Keyes at once ordered out Capt. Winder’s company of rifles to deploy across the rear of the company, at right angles to a company deployed on the right and an- other on the left of the column, thu@forming a rectangle about the train. The grass was too green to burn long, and the Indians retreated 43 soon as their fire was returned. On encamp- ing, Col. Wright determined to remain there two. or three days, to allow the men and ani- mals to recover from their fatiguing march. Sept. 1.—At daylight a body of Indian scouts Was seen ona hill to the Tight of the camp, on the lookout At 8 o'clock, orders were issued to have the artillery battalion in perfect order, as they might be called out at any moment. Half au hour later, the dragoons, four compa- nies of artillery, one section of the howitzer battery and the two rifle companies, were or- dered cut. One oe af of artillery, under Lts. Gibson and Dan y, &@ detachment of dra- gvons and the guard, consisting of about fifty men, were left in the camp to guard it. The dragoons, under command of Maj. Grier, started first. marching around the base of the hill at the left. The body of friendi Indians, (Nez Peres) under the direction of Lt. Mul. tan, (Lop. bngineer to the command.) started next ap the hill tothe right. Then came Col. WwW t, commanding, with his staff, followed by Capt Keys, commanding the Third Artil- lery, with Lt. Lawrence Kip, Adjutant of the Artillery Battalion, and the Third Artillery, the Rities and the howitzer battery. The dragoons reached the top of the hill, first driving the enemy off and holding it until the foot soldiers could arrive. On their way up, Col. Wright received an express from Major Grier that the Indians were collected in large numbers (about 500 it was thought) at the foot of the hill, apparently prepared to fight. Cap- tain Keys iqmediately pa te his battalion rapidly torward, ordering Capt. Ord’s company to the left, to be deployed as skirmishers. On reaching the top ot the hill they found the dra- goons, as skirmishers, keeping the Indians in play until they could be relieved by the artil- lery and rifles _When the command was concentrated on the hill, the rifles were ordered to deploy down to the right and drive the indians out of the wood while the howitzer battery, under Lt. White, supported by an artillery company, under Lt. Tyler, were ordered to charge at the left of the rites. ‘These orders were most gallantly per- formed, and after a shar fight the indians were driven from the aaa: At this time, the scene was exceedingly fine The plain below and the slope of the hill« was covered with the enemy, numbering about 500 The troops had been formed into line, more thaa a mile long, which advanced with all the precision of a parade, firing as they went. As they moved steadily forward, deli: ring a most effective fire, the enemy fell back, and many of them took refuge in a wood at the left. ere they were charged by Lt. Ransom, with Com- pany G,of the Third Artillery, and after a short struggle, dislodged. After the enemy had been driven partly across the plain, the dragoons pas ed through the intervals of the companies, and charged them in the most splendid style, driving them over to take refi the opposite hills. Then the artillery comp: and howitzer batteries passed them again, driving the Indians over the hills, when the route was entire, and the enemy, without again attempting to make head, scattered through the wood: id broken grounds, where they could not be followed by the troops. The iast shot was fired by the howitzer battery, throwing a shell into a group, whieh most effectually scattered them. After remaining some time, and no enemy appearing, the reeall was sounded, and the troops marched back to camp. During the Sight, the Indian force was driven back svvut three miles and « half, the firing commencing about a mile and half from camp, and ending about five miles off. The hostile Indians numbered, as near as coutd be judged, about five hundred, al! splen- didly mounted and well armed. A large num- ber of trophies were taken, in the shape of bows and arrows, buffalo robes, provisions, and horses. Itwas amusing to see the troops re- turning with their spoils. officer had two buffalo robes and a blanket wrapped around bunself and horse. Strange to say, not an officer or man on our tide was burt, although some of them had bul- lets through their caps, and a dragoon horse was shot. The long rifle muskets took the In- dians very much by surprise. The tribes en; d in the fight were the Spo- kans, Peluze and — d’Allenes. What was their loss it is impossible to say, as being ali mounted, they rush forward and carry off those who fell. Eighteen dead bodies, however, were found, and the number of wounded must have been large. Our allies, the Nez Perces, took a number of scalps, which they brought into camp, where they had a grand dance on their retara About one-half the men had never before been under fire, bu: the officers all say that they had never seen 6 discipline or more geliant condact than they evinced. The spirit of the hostile tribes must now be broken, when they find themselves deprived of the prestige they supposed they had won by their defeat of Col. Stepwe. The whole arrangements of Col. Wright in command of this expedition, have been mo t adwirable. His efficient measures will crush k and texch the northern tribes a lesson whieca they will not soon forget. Next to bim must be mentioned Capt Keyes, who commands the 3d Artillery, as no field officer is with the regiment His untiring efforts during the last three months have brought the regiment toa height and pline which we believe army, while his decisi day of battle, contributed materially to secure the victory. Should the President confer upon these two distinguished officers a brevet for their services in this campaiga, it would be well merited. The followi: sresnder, Gol Geo. Wright. Staff—Ca Ralph W.

But there was one who was beginning to plot against the “quiet tenor of her way.”’ A year before Esq. Moreford had buried the wife of bis youth. In his desolate farm-house were four motherless children—dependent upon hirelings for the care a tender mother had al- ways lovingly given—and feeling, at length, the necessity of having some one who should have more than a hireling’s interest in his home, he began to look around in search of such (] h a Walnut Sofas, Tete a Totes, and an ene, and his eyes rested on Alice Grey | Mahogany and Walnut Rookersand Arm Chairs, Death had been in Alice's home, too, and when Do. flor Ohai:s, Ottomans, Do.

Carefully she abstained from everything unkind, but there was a want of sympathy between her own and her children’s heart. She entered into none of their childish plans; they did not tell her of their childish gard her with suspicion, and even with dislike. At length, Charles, the eldest child, who could not help contrasting this state of things with the sunny home his own dear mother ie, felt that it was a home no more for bim. So, one night, leaving tearful good-by kisses with his sleeping brother and sisters, he stole sofdly down the stairs, and went out to be a wan- derer. The earliest gleaming of the mornin found him sobbing on his mother’s grave, an: the first tidings him were that he had gone to sea. Then Gracie, the youngest of the household, was taken sick, and in herdelirium she cried— “Go away naughty woman'I want my own dear mama. Come mama and kiss Gracie! Come, sweet mama !’’ and in a little while the plaintive vgice was hushed forever. Alice Moreford was very. very sad, as she sat alone in her room the night after Gracie died. One of the children to whom she had come to fill a mother’s place was away on the stormy sea. Death had claimed another; and she felt that neither from the absent ones nor from those still left to hercare had she won a mother’s share of confidence and love. Long time she sat and thought ; then long and fervently she prayed 8. $9 and under cash: over that suma credit 9 days, for satisfactorily endorsed notes, of 60 that God would teach her.

As she gave the child her first good-night kiss, Etlen threw her arms around ber neck and said, “I love you, mother,”’ and from that time they knew and loved each other. In angry moods, Ellen would sometimes say: “I wish a step- mother had never come to darken our home, but in a very little time she would come, in tears, to be forgiven. rt Georgie was not so easily won; but Alice was not discouraged.
