C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1879. ~ Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing. ANNUAL REPORT OF CHIEF IRISH. The report of Chief Irish, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June last, has just been submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, and it is summarized as follows: During the past winter the demands upon the bureau conse- quent_upon the refunding operations, were un- precedented. and resulted in producing the largest year’s work ever turned out. There were delivered, finished, sheets of notes and securities, representin: 240,160; 18,917 sheets containing 250,’ stamps for revenue and customs service, and a large amount of miscellaneous work. The expenaitures amount- ed to , Of Which $25,929.63 were for salarles; $ tor labor, and $148, 9 for maierial. Of this amount, $14,930.27 were F xX ended for macerating notes, etc., authorized to destroyed, and other matters not strictly part of the bureau work, leaving 3314.07.01 a3 the real cost of all the work done. The stocx of unfinished work and material on handyat the end of the year was equal to thit‘of the beginning, and the machinery and faniicn in equally as good order. Work to the amount Of $642 494 69 Was done for the several bureaus of ihe Treasury, and the printing bureau was reimbursed for this out of appropriations tor those bureaus. The amounts appropriated for the legitimate work of the bureau were for salaries, $25,930; for labor and other expenses, $200,000; a toltal of $225,930, and of this there 1s an unexpended baiance of $39,417.41. It is shown that? the premise of the bureau officers to do all the engraviag work of the government at less than it could cost to give out a portion of it to private corporations has been verified. During the year isiS there were made upon hand preses 20,244,490 impressions, containing 3,210,315.860 square énehes, é ae during 1879 the number increased to_ 36,5; Coutaining 6,038,54,974 square inches. was equivalent to an increase of 90 percent. fa work, while the increase in cost was only Si per cent. In the wetting division, where sheets are repared for the piinter, tue increase of work fone Was 90 per cent, and the increase in the pay-roll only 47 per cent; in the examining dl- vision, where the Impressions are examined and sorted, the increase in the work turned out, over the year 1878, was 90 per cent., amd the increase in pay roll only 70 percent. {nthe surface bré anch. the increase in work turned ont. over the year isis was $9 per cent., with only 29 per cent. increase of cost. In tle numbering, pepranne, and binding divisions there were immed, separated, and prepared, during tt ,810,514 sheets, and during 1819 19,395,102 sheets—an increase of 64 per cent.; during isis there were bound 329,659. volumes of checks, ., and during 1879 46,353 volumes An 27 per cent.; portage there were 6,220 numbers, and uring isi there were made 192,767,207 numbers—an Increase of 94 per cenit. The Increase In the pay rolls of the divisions that did this work was only 55 per cent. Considered as a whole, the increase tn the work of the bureau during the fiscal year 1879, as compared with that of the fiscal year ‘is, will very closely approximate 90 per ceat., while the aggregate expenditures of 1579 exceed those of is75 but fifty-four per oe The years 1878 and 1879 are the only one: which the bureau has been conducted under the present system, and {t ts already upona stiictly business basis. Tue large increase in the work has necessarily increased the number of persons employed, but nearly all the added employes are paid according to the quantity of work they do. The number of pecans employed in the last day of each month was:—July, 677; st, 679; September, October, 796; No- venber $44; December, January, 8: ‘eb- Tuary, 812; "March, 69; Apri, 929; "May, 916; June $01. During the consideration by Congress of the act changing the tax on tobacco, all work on revenue stamps had to be discontinued and the employes furloughed; then when the act passed the demand for stamps was urgent, and continued so till the close of the year. In con- clusion, Chief Irish commends his assistants for thelr faithful attention and effictency, and gays to Secretary Sherman:—'The results shown bys this report have been accomplished through steady adherence to those salutary reforms which were inaugurated by youon the reorgan- ization of the bureau, and to the uniform sup- port which you have given to its officers in car- rying them into effect.

S.—The courier from the front brings the following from an officer with the Payne command: “BATTLE FIELD, MILK RIvgR, Oct. 3, 6 p.m.— ‘The courier will leave some time to-night with dispatches, if possible. Indians still surround us and pour in an effective fire from the bluffs at a distance of five or six hundred yards, hav- inga cross-fire upon our position, w! tion was chosen hastily on the first day 0! fight. All our horses and all but twelve mules have been killed. We sheltered them as best we could with wagons, but to no purpose. Capt. Dodge and Lieut. Hugues, with company D, 9th cavalry, came to our rescue yesterday morning at daybreak, after a forced march of thirty-five miles from Bear river. Cheer upon cheer rent the air from our trenches when it ‘was ascertained who were coming. A lull in the firing enabled them to come tn ‘and shelter horses as well as posenie ain to get d- 8 cations quickly, w! its fury.

Be- fore dark every horse but three of Capt. Dodge’s command was shot down. A very fortunate thing for us has been that the Indians have left us unmolested at night, with the exception of an occasional shot to make us scatter to our pits. We have been ae at great risk to haul off our dead animals every night, otherwise the stench would be intolerable. A sally is made every night for water, a distance of two hurdred yards from our entrenchments. aright before Test private Erser, of company F, was shot in the face while out with @ party ‘after water, The Indians were only a few yards away and were driven c By @ volley from the guard and trenches. cheering news that Sun digps river ee Se and would undoubtedly reach Raw- ins, ve been counting the hours which it will vropably take for relief to reach us. We all agree that Gen.

HOW THORNEURGH SAVED HIS FORCE FROM AN- NIHILATION. ‘The fleld of battle was admirably chosen for defence by the Indians, and had it not been for Major thornburens vance guard, command- ed by Lieut. Cherry, discovering the ambuscade the entire command would have been annihi- lated. He sawa small iy of Indians \D- ar over a hill half a mile iif front, and atonce livided his party to reconnoitre, and only dis- covered them when he had flanked their posi- tion by about two hundred yards. Cherry rode back at full spged, with two or three men who were with him, and notified Major Thornburgh, who had already began the descent into the deep ravine wnton was intended to engulf the command. The Indians were dismounted and lying down along the crest, of the high steep nee for a hundred yards from the point where the deadly assault would have commenced The troops were withdrawn a short distance, dismounted and deployed in line of battle with orders to await attack of the Indians, Lieut. Cherry was here ordered by Thornburgh to take a detachment of fifteen picked men aud make & reconnoisance and communicate it RS | able; with the Indians, ante it was though t O ly desired to oppose his approach to their szeney, ‘and would} parley. 0 or have a big talk if they could be co: with, Cherry moved out ata gallop pith a his men from the ht , and noticed a like movement of the Indians, and took but the reson was in of asa a a abd was instantly followed by a volley trom met qadiangs The work had now begun in real and seeing the advan' tion. oe held, Cherry dismount ment and deployed moe the bre of the hill to prevent the Indians fi ‘is position or to cover the retreat if found neseasary to retire upon the ee train, which was then coming guarded by Lieut.

The two com] adi B S38 Ps Gibbs, John Hoaxey, Emil brought every wounded man in with him. Capt. Lawson, the brave old veteran, displayed the greatest calmness and courage during this retreat, sending up ammunition to Cherry’s men when once they were nearly without it. aon ‘Thornburgh started back to the wagon train after giving his final orders to Capt. Payne to charge the hill and to Capt. Lawson. and Cherry to cover the retreat. THE SHOOTING OF THORNEURGH. He must have been shot dead when barely half way there, as his dead body was seen by one of Capt. Lawson's men, lite extinct, and lying on bis face. Captain Payne, then tn command, at once set about having the wound- ed horses shot for breastworks. Dismantling the wagons of boxes, bundles, of bedding, corn and flotrsacks, which were quickly piled up for fortifications, picks and shovels were used vig- orously for digging entrenchments, In the nonume a galling fire was concentrated upon the command from all the surroundiag blumts which commanded the position. Not an Indian i be seen but the tncessant cracks of their arp’s and Winchester rifles dealt fearful de- struction among horses and men. The groans of the dying and the agonizing cries of the wounded teld what fea havoc was being msde among the determined and desperate command. Every man bound to sell his life = dearly as possible. About this time a great danger was approaching at a frightfully rapid pace. The Tndlans at the beginning of the fight bad set fire to the dry grass and to the sage brush and to the windward of our position. “And it now came sweeping down towards us, the flames leaping high into the air and immense columns of smoke rolling on to engulf us. It was a sight to make the stout- est heart quake, and the fiends were walting, ready to give us a volley as soon as we were driven from our shelter. Now it reaches the flank, and blankets, blouses and empty sacks were’ freely used to extinguish the flames. Some of the wagons were set on fire, which required all the force possible to smother it. No water can be obtained, and the smoke is suffocating, but the fire passes and we still hold our position. Meantime a constant volley is poured upon us. Capt. Payne wounded for the second time and First Sergeant Dolan, of company F, killed instantly, McKinstry and McKee killed, and many others wounded. Our greatest danger 1s now past. The men oe Low mostly covered themselves, but the horses and mules are constantly falling al us. Just about sundown a charge was ‘ate tempted but re] Tepulsed, the Indfans trying to arive off some of our horses which had broken loose. The attack ceased at dark, and soon every man was at work ealarging trench and hauling out the dead horses, caring for the wounded and burying the dead. At daylight, the attack was resuined, and the fir- ing of the sharpshooters has been kept up every day since, and occasionally at nights sending us toour pits in ascramble. This is the fifth day of our siege, but we are deter- mined to hold out if it takes a month for suc- cor to reach us, but we are confident that Gen eral Merritt, whose name is upon the lips of every one, 1s on the road to rescue us, The names of the killed and wounded are as follows: Killed:—Major Thornburgh, 4th infantry; ist Sergeant John Dolan, Co.

In less than two minutes his men poured into the Utes a fire which checked their advance and forced them to seek every available cover. The battle lasted but a few hours, dur- ing which time the Indians suffered a loss of 37 killed, while Merritt did not lose a man, ‘The Utes got such a severe drubbing that they threw up a white cea in token of their wish for aparley. This was granted by Gen. Merritt, and several chiets entered his camp forthwith. Several of the chiefs were willing to surrender, others were not.
