Big Fight With the Sioux on the Rosebud Creek, ALMOST A SAVAGE VICTORY; Graphic Details of the March, the En- Counter and the Retreat. Ten of the Troops Killed and Twenty Wounded. THIRTEEN SIOUX SCALPS Gallant Conduct of the Cavalry Under Confiicting Crders. THE SIOUX WARRIORS MAGNIFICENTLY LED General Crook Falls Back for Sup. plies and Ammunition. BRAVERY OF THE FRIENDLY INDIANS, GENERAL CRoOK’s Camp, BIG HORN EXPEDITION, GOOSE CREEK, June 19, 1876, Via Fort FETTERMAN, June 23, 1876, An important battle was fought day before yester- day at the head waters of Rosebud Creek, about fifty miles north, between the hostile Sioux, numbering 2,600, under Sitting Bull of the North and the column under command of Brigadier General George Crook, composed of 1,300 mounted soldiers, The fight lasted five hours, and resulted in the dis- comfiture of the savages, although not before they had inflicted on the troops a loss of ten killed and twenty wounded. On their own side they sacrificed by the bold attack which they made about one hun- dred warriors and an equal number of ponies, but thereby saved for the time being their village, which, according to the guide, lay at a distance of only six miles from the battle field. THE MARCH. The active column of the expedition left the camp for supplies established on this stream early on the morning of June 16, General Crook at its head, in- tending to penetrate northward to the grand Sioux village, with the hope of reaching it and learning its designs before being obliged to fight. His plan was to repeat the achievement of last winter with more complete success, “The five companies of infantry, with a party of twenty civilians, were mounted on mules borrowed from the pack train, and only four days’ rations and one blanket were allowed each man as luggage. No means of transportatign were taken, except riding horses and mules, and two sumpter mules to carry hospital necessitics and pioneer tools. A force so well equipped for rapid and effective service never before moved against the Sioux. Two hundred and fifty Snakes and Crows marched as scouts, provided with government arms, led by Chiefs Louisante Cos- grove, Old Crow, Medicine Crow and Good Heart. On the day before yesterday a march of thirty-five miles was made, when the force bivonacked at the head waters of the Rosebud, between high bluffs, where it was necessary to form in a hollow square in anticipation of a night attack, as the Crows had reported fresh ‘signs of Sioux, and the movement of the buffulo indicated they were near. There was no molestation, however, and the march was resumed ia the morning at half-past five in two columna, THR ENEMY. But ten miles were traversed down the valley of the stream when a sudden halt was made at a wild signal of the Snakes galloping up and shouting, “Sioux! Sioux!” At the same time shots were fired rapidly beyond the low hills bordering on the stream. Other friendly Indians who had been out, on espying the enemy, dashed down into the valley, wildly gesticulating and calling to their little bands to arm and mount. The jaded ponies were ex- changed for fresh ones, the Crows formed in rank and stood singing their war song and welcoming their scouts who came flying back to the accom- paniment of shots fired beyond the hills as if hotly pursued. In a moment all the Snakes and Crows rushed in the direction, and war yells arose as they caught a glimpse of their ancient foes. Good Heart was pursued by two Sioux to the edge of the valley, whither he hurried to give the alarm, and there, on the summit of a hill, turning on one of them, he pulled him from his pony by the hair as he dealt the death stroke and quickly scalped him. General Crook wished first to advance the soldiers against the Sioux, whose shouts indicated they were driving the few scouts still absent from the column back to it for refuge, but the Crows could not be restrained. The Snakes and Crows charged the Sioux, and on the first onset made them rapidly recede. Then ensued a desultory fight for halfan hour, the troops in the valley being delayed from rendering support by the necessity of saddling their animals, Captain Kane's infantry company was the first to advance to the crest of the ridge north of the valley and there opened fire. Seeing the Crows and Snakes pressed back by the masses of Sioux and flying before them—a high, steep ridge being peopled by them, and their fire deadly—the in- fantry charged directly up the narrow backbone, stopping at every crest to level a volley at them, but saw them retire only to hold against them still higher points beyond. They had taken A MAGNIFICENT POSITION on the stream, commanding the ravines throngh whéeh the troops would probably have passed, and where they might have been slaughtered like sheep before a charge could have been made. Captain Kane hbeki the first crest mext the valley fifteen minutes. The battalion of the Sec- ond cavalry, under Captain Noyes, charged a crest further nurth, and when dismounted poured in two volleys, This movement was performed for the purpose of preventing the Sioux from regaining their lost ground. Captain Milla, at the head of a battalion of the Third cavairy, moved forward through Noyes’ ranks and charged the next higher crest, where he dismounted, and his men, lying down, maintained a steady fire for half an hour against the crowd of Sioux skirmish- ers who lay parily concealed. The Crows, who had been withdrawn from the front of the troops, made another charge and again fell back. The Sioux, now become more bold, were creeping forward and getting ready to make @ dash, when Mills moved up the side of the mound which protected them and again drove them back. ‘This time ther flight would have been final, but for an order received to whee! to the right and charge certain points where small groups of Sioux were harassing his flank. As he ap- Proached they gave him several heavy volleys, but broke and ran. The battalion halted in the cap- tared bluffs, when an aide of General Crook’s de- livered the command to CRASE FIGHTING and advance directly north along the stream to the Sioux village, supposed by the guides to be only six miles distant. Captain Noyes was to follow and support him, but before moving he received counter orders, the Crows having changed their opinion about the location of the village. Captain Nickerson was sent to direct Mills to re- turn, but did not overtake him until after he had proceeded four miles, Meanwhile Colonel Royall, in command of all the cavalry, but in immediate charge of the left of the line, composed of companies D, F, Band L of the Third cavalry, Captain Henry, bat- talion commander, companies C and G, under Cap- tain Varniiet, squadron commander, and Captain Andrews’ troop of the Second cavalry, had a terrible task to perform. Your correspondent was with him through the fight, and observed that he manipulated his men under the dimicult and CONFLICTING ORDERS from his superior with consummate skill, although he could not prevent unnecessary sacrifice of life without risking the penalty of disobedience. The left wing of cavalry went forward at a trot to sec- ond the advance of Captain Mills on the main ridge by going up a hollow on the left, behind successive Jow hills. One company after another was deployed in line as skirmishers, and fired with deadly effect upon the Sioux, who were within close range. Every point of vantage, northwest and south, seemed crowded by them. The firing was checked, however, by the cry that they were Crows, and before the mistake was recognized they had Tetired after a general discharge of their pieces, Those on the highest crest of the main ridge, however, where hundreds of them were massed, maintained their ground and con- tinned a murderous fire. The cavalry on the left saw the Snakes and Crows fly before them twice as Mills’ battalion disappeared on the other side after his last charge. Aline of infantry was all that kept them from sweeping the whole ridge which had before been captured from them and offered no protection from the falling hatl of bullets which they were pour- ing upon our left, where Colonel Royall was in com- | mand. <A moment more and our steady advance would have gained the left wing, a position from which it would have mowed down the Sioux who were harassing it, but the order was to ad- vance slowly, and as the centre was stationary there was a fear of going too far ahead. Meantime the line holding them in check on main the ridge aimed 80 accurately that a great many of the enemy slipped away and rode rapidly southward, dodging behind the rocks and mounds to reach the flank, where from the palisades a dropping fire had already be- gun. The soldiers were eager to charge. Had they done so their exposure would have been shortened and end ina triumphant chase. At this moment an order came from General Crook TO FALL BACK and connect with the right of the line, so.as to con- centrate and make a general advance. This move- ment was disastrous, The Sioux held all the highest ground, and from several points swept the lower fridge in our rear with a terrible enfilading fire which pressed the line of retreat. As the cavalry retreated slowly on foot and skirmishing, the Sioux made repeated charges on the flanks and were repulsed by the resolute cour- ‘of the men, who, although principally recruits, stood their ground as bravely as veterans. In torm- ing a junction with the main command a wide hollow must be crossed, which was swept by a rain of fire from the bluifs, and the Sioux were already prepar- ing to charge from both ends. They made every ex- ertion to keep the command divided, and their fighting at this moment was masterly. Colonel Royall sent to General Crook to ask support, but be- fore an infantry company took position to protect the retreat he was pressed back so that his men found themselves suddenly in the hollow, the Sioux charging upon them on two sides arid a dropping fusillade cutting them down. Nine men were killed here and twenty wounded, I crossed over to the hill occupied by the infantry a moment before and just escaped ap onset of the savages. Captain Henry was horribly wounded in the head. The infantry, taking position behind the west ineline of the ridge, opened fire. At this moment Captain Handall, seeing the peril cf ‘the cavalry, set the Crows and Snakes at full speed into the hollow and the latter fought the Sioux no- bly. One of them, after Captain Henry had fallen, stood and protected him until the soldiers made a dash and bore him off. Sergeant Von Moll separated in the retreat {from his company, and, surrounded by Sioux, was rescued by Old Crow, single handed. As soon asthe junction of the linc was effected the Sioux began to yield, and the infantry, under Majors Bur- rows and Burt, drove them at last from the high cone which they had held so long. The Snakes caused their final flight and pursued a party of four Sioux two miles, killed them all and took their scalps. At one o'clock the firing had ceased, and the whole command followed in pursuit; but after moving three miles forward the country appeared so dangerous that General Crook determined to fall back to the point where the battle began. 4 THE CROWS DISSATISYIED. Meanwhile the Crows were counselling on a bluff about the circumstances of the Might, and express- ing the belief that the soldiers had not promptly supported their first advance against the Sionx (which was true), and had determined to return home. The ammunition, only 100 rounds to the man, was half exhansted, and General Cook con- cluded to retura to the camp and make another advance after giving rest to the troops, meanwhile hoping to conciliate the discontented Crows. In this he did not succeed. They left last evening for their village, which they fear the Sioux have visited daring their absence. The Snakes still remain, but their steadfastness cannot be retied on. DETAILS OF THR FIGHT. Some of the minor incidents of the fight were most horrible. A small squad of cavalrymen, acting as rear guard on the march, were ordered to hold a point on the left, The Sioux surrounded them and shot them in the face, only two escaping. Private Richard Bennett's body was disembow- elied by the savages and the hands and feet cut off, The troops: behaved gallantly in rescuing their dead and wounded. A corporal of T company, Third cavalry, made a gallant charge to rescue # comrade from the scaip- ing knife. The Sioux only obtained one scalp, while the friendly Indians captured thirteen of the Sioux Who dragged many of their dead from the field behind their ponies, THE KILLED AMONG THE TROOPS.

A bivouac was made the night after the battle on the fleld. It is supposed that the village of the Sioux was moved during the fight. The supply train will be sent to Fetterman, and will return in about twenty days, after which the new scouts will take their place, with five additional companies of infantry. The wounded were transported to this camp on mule litters, and all are doing well. THE OFFICIAL REPORT OF TRE BATTLE. Cutcaco, June 23, 1876, A despatch was received by General Sheridan to- day, from General Crook, dated Camp on the South of Tongue River, Wyoming, June 19, ofictaily con- firming the press despatch concerning the fight with Indians, THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. General Crook reports nine white men killed and fifteen wounded in the Third cavalry, two Wounded in the Second cavalry, three wounded in the Fourth infantry and Captain Henry, of the Third cavalry, severely wounded inthe face. The loss of the Indians cannot be estimated, but thirteen dead bodies were left on the fleld and many had been re- moved. REINFORCEMENTS ORDERED UP, Oman, June 23, 1876, General Crook has ordered five additional com- panies of infantry and one of cavalry to report to his headquarters, in the fleld, at once.

The Sioux, all well mounted and well armed, swarmed in numbers at times and wore prodi- gal in the uso of ammunition. Tho fight lasted four hours, when tho enemy retired out of sight at every point, THE CASUALTIRG are as folows:— Third Cavalry—Company B, Sergeant Marshall and private Roe kiiled, Privates Broderson and Featherby, wounded, Company J, —Privates Allen and Flynn, killed, Sergeant Enoch, Corporal Carts, Privates Smith, Stewart, O’Brien, Losscy and Boskey wounded.

There is one month's supply of provisions in the camp. The Crows havo returned to their homos. Tho Snakes still ro. main, The rich game country of the Big Horn affords an ample commissary department for the Sioux. MIDNIGHT WEATHER REPORT. War Deranturst, Orrick oF THe Curmr S1GNxat.
