NGiW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1858, THE UTAH EXPEDITION. aes ‘The March of Colonel Cooke's Division from Fort Leavenworth to the Black Fork, « Sxcowp Regiment or Diacoons, “@aur ow Biack Forx, U. T., Nov. 21, sain, } Sm—As required, I havethe honor to report shat, in obedience to instructions from the Colonel commanding the army for Utah, I marched in command of six compa- nies 2d Dragoons three miles from Fort Leavenworth and encamped on the afternoon of the 17th September. ‘The regiment had been hastily recalied from service in | the field, and allowed three or four days only by my then commanding officer to prepare for a march of eleven hundred miles, over an uninhabited and mouptain wilder- ness. Im that time the six companies of the regimont who ‘were to compose the expedition were re-orgamaed; 110 transfers necessarily made from and to other companies; horses to be condemned, and many to be obtained; the companies paid, and about fifty desertions oocurred; the commanders of four of them changed. To these princi- pal duties and obstacles—implying a great mass of writ- ing—were to be edded every exertion of experience and foret ight, to provide for a line of operation of almost un- exampled length, and mostly beyond communication. On the evening of the 16th, at the commencement of ® rain storm, aa Inspector General made a hurried ingpection by companies, which could not have been very satisfactory to him or others. The company commanders, amid the confusion of Fort Leavenworth, presenting their new men—raw recruit—-whom they had yet scarcely { found or seen, under the effects usually following the pay tabie. I marched them on the 17th. My preparations, though hurried, were as complete as was possible. Then it was to be proved that three or four more days were to be lost | n waiting for the Quartermaster’s departm:+nt to supply the absolutely necessary transportation. On the 18th, 107 mules were furnished, which the same day had arrived from a march of, perhaps, 2,000 miles, to and from Bridger’s Pass; above 100 of the others were nearly worthless from want of age, and requiring several hours to harness ateam. On the morning of the 19th, twenty- seven teamsters were wanting, and men were furnished uterly ignorant of the business and without outits. I marched late that day, fourteen miles, and the last o¢ the train reached the camp at 12 M. on the next day, the ‘20th, eleven wagon tongues having been broken, On the 2ist, after a hard rain, I marched six miles, which, on slippery roads, was as much as such a train could well accomplish; and only that night nearly half of one of the companies whom we had met returning to Fort Leaven- worth, from a march of 600 miles, reached my camp. Half allowance, or six pounds a day of corn for horses ‘and mules was the largest item of transportation; three or four Iaundresses, with their children, were with each company. September 23.—I received an application of Gov. Cum- ming for forage for his (64) public animals, and was first informed tbat an order from the War Department, com- municated to the Quartermaster’s Department at Fort Lea- venworth, ordered it furnished. * The weather now for ten days proved very fine; but there was generally a deficiency of grass, that was not compensated by the corn allowance. This wa¥ owing to the many troops and contract trains which bad passed, the camps being on streams running across the route. October 1.—On the Little Blue I reached the train of | twenty-five wagons and teams which the Colonel com manding had there stopped from their return from the Cheyenne expedition, to make out my outfit for the longer marches beyond assistance. Hard bread for the whole march to Salt Lake City was to be taken from Fort Kear- ny. Such was the condition of the young mules fur- nished at Fort Leavenworth that only fourteen of these ; additional wagons were available, sixty-six mules being | necessarily exchanged. Here, as had been ordered, Assistant-Surgeon Covey joined the regiment, relieving Aseistant-Surgeon Milhau. October 3.—There was #0 severe a northeast storm that T lay in camp; I knew there would be no fuel at the next, on the Platte river. October 4.—I marched io the rain, and on the 5th arrived at Fort Kearny at 10 A. M., my rate of marching after September 21 having averaged twenty-one miles a day. ‘There I remained the next day. I could not increase, the number of wagons, but exchanged a few mules; nor could the required amount of corn be furnished. * On the 7th I marched in the rain, which had continued since the 2d of the month. Up to the 12th—eleven daye—the rainy weather com- tinued, clearing up with thick ice, but the marches averaged twenty-one miles. The grass was very scarco and poor. It was nota season and prospect for delays; every care was taken to sustain the horses; they were led, at that time, about two hours a day, and grazed on spots of grass found in the. march. length of the march was also accommodated to it, and diligent search made; that night | was encamped on an isiand west of Fallon’s Bluff. This long rain made the want of fuel more severe; it rendered nseless the now scarce bois de vacie. After this the repeated hard frosts, with the previous | ae of grass by the troops, trains, and 60,000 emigrast cattic, almost left us without this all important support—I mean of a sort or condition fitfor the support of our animals. October 15.—I crossed the South Platte with a very cold Dorthwest wind. Lescended Ash Hellow and marched a mile or two on the North Platte in the vain search for any grass. These twenty two miles, with the two serious ob- stacles overcome, were accomplished by the whole train im good time; this most be attributed to the excellent my emert of that moet efficient officer First Lieutenant Jobn Buford, regimental quartermaster. After this the horses — to die, and necessarily be left ‘on the road. On the 17th two corn trains were passed, which bad left Fort Kearny twelve days in advance of the regiment. I renewed my deficient supply—relieving them. A northeaster, with sleet, was distressingly chilling that evening in camp on Smith’s Fork. Next day there was a snow storm, falling three or four Inches, which the teams were sca forced to face, and twenty-three mules, all three year olde, were relleved from harness, exhausted, Bunch grass was cought and found that night in the hills, several miler from the river. Private prhiiney, of sree gag G, died inthe camp near lockjaw. He was buried on the bluff, ith the héuors of war, next morning at sunrise; the ther mometer was at 25 degrees, but a fierce wind made the cold excessive, we found ice floating in the river. October 20 —I crossed Scott's Bluff! by the oid (the best ‘fand shortest) roed; enow still nearly covering tbe ground A wail which had been in company for 11 days, did not get up the night of the 2st, On the 224, my camp was four miles below Fort Lara- mie with scarcely any eqpearence of guese,nnd there way none other for m! 1 bad made 21 mil Fort Keapay; the road being pronounced woree than evér remem!«red by a uumber of old and frequent travellers on it On the 234, the regiment camped a half mile below the fort on Laramie river.

November #.—The mercury that moruing marked 44 de- ‘ees below the freezing voint. The march was commenosa efore 8 o'clock, ana soon a high northwest wind arose, which, with the drift, gave great suffering. Few could rice long; but, of necessity, eighteen miles were marched to Bitter creek. The snow was blowa deep in its valley, to which the hills gave little shelter. On them, the guida said, there was some grass; but few animale went, and Dobe stay ed there, so bitter was the wind. Twenty three mules bad given out, and five wagons and the haruess were ordered to be abandoned at tho camp. Next day, nineteen mules were to be marched, the road over high tills and table lands—the snow was ‘deep ant drifted; the officers and men leading must break thi the drifts in the road, where the wagons must fellow t— the cloud was still on us aud freezing in our faces. Seven hours thus aud the Sweet Water valley was regained—the wagons arrived at night, The animals were drivea over the ice to herd on the high hills bounding the very narrow vailey ; but in the night a very great wind rose and drove them, back from the scant bunch grass there, freezing te death fifteen. We had there for fuel, besides ihe sage, the little bush willow sticks. 3 November 10.—The northeast wind continued flerceiy, | enveloping us in a cloud, which froze and fell aliday. Few could bave faced that wihd. The herders left to bring up the rear, with extra but nearly all broken down mules, but couid not force them from the dead bushes of the lit- tle valley, and they remained there all day and night, bringing on next day tho fourth part that had not frozen. Thirteen mules were marched and the camp was made four miles from the top of the Pass.
