COLONEL WILLIAM WINER COOKE. fo tax Eptror or rae AzRaLp:— Among the heroic officers who fell within a few feet ofthe brave Custer, was his bosom frend and com- panion for years, Brevot Lieutenant Colonel William Winer Cooke, adjutant of the Seventh cavalry. In Gen- eral Custer's work, “Life on the Plains,"’ he mentions | frequently the gallant exploits of Colonel Cooke; and in a paragraph, when relating his selection of an officer to commana the ‘‘sharpshooters” of the Seventh, ho thus speaks of bim:— The difficulty was not in finding an officer properly qualified in every way to command barpsbooters, | but among so many who | felt confid: would render | ‘& good account of themselves if assigned to that posi- thon to designate a leader par excellence.

A courier has just reached the fort from Fetterman, bringing news of Crook’s defeat on the Rosebud River on the 17th inst Hts camp was surprised in the early morning after the pickets had been ealled tn by about 1,000 Sioux and Arrapahoes, under Crazy Horse, Plenty ot Bear and Kicking Bird. The cavalry were watering their horses and some of the men were having their dreak/ast wken the attack was made on the camp on Cedar Creek, s little stream emptying into the Rosebud close up to the Crow reservation and about 100 maide of the Montanaiine. It was a complete surprise. About a bundred borses belonging to the ‘third cavalry were siampeded and tell into the hands 1 the Indians, including thoir equipmenta A ser- | oo and two soldiers were killed, and Colonel Royal ad his horse shot under him The camp was ina then a vody of Sioux charged d which were endeavoring to got imto line. For 1 minutes the rout and confusion was terrific, But the soldiers railied, after they baa been exhorved by their officers, and the Suake Indians bad taken to the foothills and LT ip desulwory firi some sort of order was brought vut of the general confusion. The troops, however, fought under a sense of disadvantage ail the time, and the principal fighting was done by the Snakes. A charge ot the Second cavalry about cight o'clock, however, drove the Indians across the Rosebud and enabled General Crook to get bis column in haad; but in the meantime twelve soldiers had been killed and twenty- ‘three wounded, and quite a number of Crows and Snakes. In the finalcharge of tho Second cavalry seventeen Sioux were killed and left on the field. The Sioux, however, continued to occupy the foot hills ou the other side of the river, and 10 the afternoon, when the retreat Senmenonn, came across and got possession of 7 following the cavalry up the opposite side of the river unti nizhttall, and, it is weRoeee are stili hovering on the flanks of the army. neral Crook will continue retreat to White's Gap, in the Wolf range of mountains, where bis supply ‘rains are camped, He bas sent to Fetterman and this post for infantry, which makes it pretty piain that the Indians are ‘vo many for him. I¢ is reported here that General Shert- dan, to whom & report of the battic has becn maile, nas retused tho reiuforcemenis and ordered General Crook to advance, The officers of the post speak in terms of upmeasured condemnation of General Crook’s behav: and denounce his retreat in the face of the savage enemy as cowardly, It is also reported that the Crows refused to stay ‘with Crook any longer, and have gone off in & body to Gibbon on the Yellowstone. They cali Crook the uaw Chief,’ and say he’s afraid to fight. The news of the battle brought consternation to the military here, and aa the details of the affair become known it is looked upon as humiliating and disgraceful to the last degree. The idea of two regiments of American cavalry being stampeded by savages and having to raily behind friendly Indians is repre’ ag incredibly revolting to the prido and honor of the army. LATEST FROM THE BLACK HILLS [From the Chicago Times.] Biauanck, Dakota, July 5, 1876. A reliable gentleman who left the bills last Wednes- day came in witn two others in advance of a large party for supplies which will arrive on Friday. When with the train they saw no Indians, A party of five tried to head off the three after they left the train, but were unable todo so, The situation at Deadwood is reported as jollows:—Provisions of all kinds abundant; flour, $13 per sack; hams and bacon, 85 cents per pound; sugar, 25 cents; coffeo, 85 cents in goid at $20 anounce. Thero is a scarcity of minors’ clothing, including boots, hats, &c., and no women’s wear what- ever in stock, Freights from Lory St to Deadwi 11 cents per pound; from Fort Pierre, 6 cents to cents; irom Bismarck, 5 ceats to8 cents.

Up to two wee last Thureday these people had taken out $56,000. Deadwood ts represented to be as large as it can grow and entirely occupied. A gentleman was in the city a week ago on Sunday, and believe: than 4,000 people there, including those in for supplies, Every train and overy steamer arriving at Bismarck brings those going to the Black Hills, while many come overland. The train which leaves about the 10th will certainly number over 200, besides those coming in jor supplies, who will then return. EXPERIENCE OF A VETERAN. {From the St, Louis Repablican, July 8.) A Republican report. called on Colonel Nelson Cole to'learn his views ii"regurd to the Custer massacre, and the Sioux country in the ler river and Big Horn region, of which he has @ sad experience, It is known to a few and forgotten by many more, that Colonel Cole led a military expedition into that coun- try, and the st: tion aod privation endured by his men has pot been exceeded since the colebrated ex- pedition of Aruold, up the head waters of the Kenne. beck and the Chaudierre, through the wilderness of Maine and Canada, to Quebec, where for days the only subsistence was soup made trom the leather of the soldiers’ shoes. Colonel Cole in 1865 commanded the right column of whatis known as the Powder river Andian expedition, and bis report, which is imbued with @ detail of THRILLING HORRORS on the march and Indian battles never saw and owing to the overshadowing battles of lion was consigned to the archives of the War Depart- where it still slambera.

Coion Cole’s expedition among the Sioax baods was the largest, and he penetrated their country the farthest of any commander, years before Go crai Harney Ash Hollow, but that battle ground 1s now within the limits of civilization, and but & short distance north of the Platie River, ‘Military surveys had been made across the country by Licu- tenants Reynolds and Warren, and Geueral Sully at- the Mauvaises Terres or Bad Landy, but was forced to disband his men and return to the Mis- sour: River without accomplishing the objects of his expedition. THE EXPEDITION. Colonel Cole, at the head of his column, composed of his regiment of light artillery, mounted and equipped as cavalry, and eight companies of the Twelfth Mis- souri cavalry, nuaibering in all 1,500 men, started from Franklin, out on the Pacific Railroad, and ioft Omaha on the lstof July. The command marebed up the Platte to the mouth of the Loupe Fork, thence across the plains up tho latter river to ite bead. Then crossed the Niobrari, the White Earth and Little Missouri Fivers, skirted the eastern base uf the Black Hills, where he was joined by the ceutre column, composed ofs Kansas regiment, from Fort Laramie, who came across. the Biack Hills, and forming the junction, Col- onel Cole assumed command of both columns The command thea. northwestwardiy across the Bad Lands to the of she Powder River, and sending ; out seouts to the Mig Hora and Tengue rivers The or- | ders ander wh!

He went, and he bas died at the head of his column. He was a brave man and @ thorough soldier.

It was the United States government, the persistent breaker, that was responsible for the death of General Guster and his brave followers.” Boston Post:—‘ ‘That man will die at the head of bis command,’ said General Meade, one day during the dark years of our civil war, when be saw Goneral Custer draw sabre and lead a gallant charge.” Cincinnati Commercial:—‘Grant and Caster were old friends, but when Caster testified concerning tho thieving on the fronticr Grant seemed to think there was a fling at brother Orvillo and so wouldn't see Custer when he Jast called at tho White House,” SOUTHERN OPINION. Richmond Wh “The North alone shall nog mourn this gallant soldier, He belongs to all the Saxon race, and when he carried his bold dragoons ito the thickest of the last ambuscade, where his sun of lite forever set, we behold in him the true spirit of that living chivalry which cannot die, but shall live forever to illustrate the pride, the glory and the gran- deur of our imperishable race, Custer and his men, though dead, shail live while admiration of the heroic and the memory of great deods survive among men.” Augusta (Ga. ) Consiitution:—“From all accounts, the Indians are more sinned against than sinning. They have become tbe prey of post traders, speculators and other harpics of the civic service. Norfolk (Va.) Landmark:—‘The Indians ought to be turned over to the War Department.

The presumption is that these orders come from post traders, who are selling them to tho Indians.
