BRAVE JEROME. _——— A Dashing Lieutenant’s Experience in Chief Joseph’s Trenches. —_—-—___. Stoicism of the Nez Perces—Deviltry of the Cheyennes. COPPER-HUED CHIVALRY After-Gossip of the Battle Field—Poor Hale's Love Charm, Camp or Tux Sittixc Bui. Commission, Noxruxry Mowrana, Oct, 12—Midnight, The Commission, having encamped this afternoon 1m a desolate spot on the Plains, discovered its escort. of three companies of the Second cavalry, which ar Tived and joined it this evening. These companies, commanded by Captain Tyler, were engaged in the Feceut battle with and victory over Joseph and his Nez Percés, under General Miles, Among the com- manders of companies is Lieutenant Lovell a. Jerome, son of Lawrence Jerome, of New York city, who dis- Unguisbod himself in the action in w manner which bas been partially d ibed to you, His distinguish. Ing feat during the battle, one that entities him to the Nighest credit ag an officer, was the saving of the Seventh cavalry from absolute annihilation, While the Indians, after Captain Hale’s death, were pouring a deadly hurricane of lead upon the Seventh’s battal- jon Lieutenant Jerome, coming up on the opposite side of the cut, bank or ravine, assailed the savages witn a deadly fusiliade which continued for two or three minutes, drove them into their pits and allowed the remnants of the Seventh cavalry to withdraw, THR YOUNG HERO'S APPLARANCE, Lieutenant Jerome, like bis brother officers, pre- Bonts a highly unmilitary but a very war-worn ap- pearance, He is the most dashing and handsome of them all, His costume nearly resembles what of a Prairie scout, and would astonish the denizens of his father’s household aud the Aabitués of the Union Club, He wears o velveteen coat, buckskin panta- loons and heavy cavalry boots. On his hoad is a bat- tered drab slouched hat with a black ribbon. He gave this.evening, in the presence of ono or two of his brother officers, an account of the battle and his share in it, which in essential respects had been @nticipated by the stor! of the scouts, But ueither the scouts nor any one clue with whom I have conversed gave the twang, the Peculiar flavor to the narrative which the young lieu- Venant himself gave tt, and which be must have de- fived the knack of giving to any story from his inim- itable sire. MAJOR HALK’S LOVE CHARM, It was this youug man, as you will recollect, who, Mier Joseph came into Miles’ camp and made his Srst proposition to surrender, was ordered, or, rather, Permitted, by the General to go ito the stronghold of tho Nez Percés and reconnoitre, Indeed Lieutenant Jerome suggested Jozeph’s presence and the tem- Porary truce which then occurred as a good oppor- tunity to recover the bodies of Captain Hale and Lieu- tenant Biddle, both of whom were killed during tho Charge of the Seventh cavalry at the opening of the Qght. Says Lieutenant Jeromo:— “The story about Hale’s saying, ‘My God! am I Boing to be killed s0 early in the morning?’ is prob- ably a fetion, What did occur was this, When the command bulted just after the news that the Nez Percés viiluge was in sight was received from the Scout, aud while the scout was riding back to the Teur during the halt to inform Generul Mules, Hale, who spoiling for a fight, but who was evidently Dervous and troubled, took out a charm given to him by a@ lady, which be wore around his neck and suwid:—‘Jerome, iw I should get killed this morning I want you to see that this gets back—mentioning the lady’s name. 1 ban- tered him a moment ubout it, Then he took it in his bund and threw it witha gosture against bis heart, Jaughed in his peculiar mavner and exclaimed:— ‘There, nothing ig going to harm me now.’ That was One of the reasons, continued Jerome, why I wanted to go down and recover Hale’s body.” 1 asked Lieutenant Jerome if he recovered the churm? He answered that he did, and went on with us account, ENTERING JOSFPA’S CAMP. He proceeded into Joseph’s camp confident that he Would be well received there, knowing personally, as he did, 80 many of the Nez Percés warriors, It was not whtil he had fairly entered tt that he percoived ho Wasa prisoner, Since Miles had determined to hold Joseph tho Indians determined to hold Jerome. They dia not, however, treat bim in the | like an enemy. In the most laughing way thoy insisted ou his staying with them, ‘T'bey allowed uim to wander through their camp and examine their strange tortifications and places ofconceaiment, “At last,” said he, “they put me intoa pit where there were ubout fifteen of them. Tho weather was bitterly cold and I was glad I was sheltered. I had a pair of blankets that night and glept a little.” Here | asked the gallant young Lieutenant to go on ‘with his story iu bis own way, JEROMB’S CAPTIVITY PREVENTS MILES PROM WITH- DKAWING. “Weil,” be said, “what 1 dia while I was in the Indian camp was to look around for the best places for Miles to put in his shells, and ty see how their rifle pits Were arranged, and whether it would be pos- sible for us to take them by assault. 1 had the whole thing in my mind by the next day, woven 1 expected to leave. On that day I received a message irom Miles carly in the forenoon, Miles evidently wanted to keepVosepb, but wanted me to escape. | believe now that if 1 nud not gone into that camp under the General's order, he, being deprived of the iutorma- tion which 1 gave bim afterward, would have with- drawn—nolding Joseph as bis prisuner—with his lorce to the cover of thy distant woods, and there in- trenehed himsell, The fact is he was very anxious, as allo! us were, lest Sitting Bull should come to the Nez Percés’ assistance, I cun tostily that the Nez Perceés really expocted that Sitting Bull would aid | them, though of course I doo’t know how woll their hope wae grounded, While I was im their camp several warriors spoke of this matter. FIKING ON THE PLAG OF TRUCK “For a long time after Ll reached thetr camp the white flag doated over both encampments, But suddeniy, while I was sitting in the pit I spokerof, a builet came Singing overbead, It was followed by others, These shots were from our own men, aud 1 was alarmed and disgusted, In the first place, 1 didn’t waut to ve killed by a triend; iu the next instant it struck me that the Indians suspected trenchery. That they did suspect it L found soon afterward. A couple of warriors, who bad been espevially trieadly to me, took me out of that pit into another one, warning me that the ober Indians were talking about my ‘“torked tongue,’ and of the propriety of Kiling me then and there, THY EXCHANGY OF PRISONERS. “During the day General Miles decided to surrender Josep, So be was brought down under cover of a white flag to a space halt way between the Noz Pereés? positon and our own, The General himself wont with Josepn aud was accompanied by ono of his stall officers. There were three ‘Indians slong with me, | suppose that was an interesting po- sition, With the suspicion of treachery on both sides, \hirteen of our men lay in their trenches scarcoly forty rods off, with the rifles beld ata dead rest on Joseph aud my throe Tudian guards, More than iwenty Indiauas had an equally sure sight over their Winchester’s and Henry's straight at General Miles and me, I bave since learned that Miles’ staf officor held a cocked revolver in his bosom ready to Ox Joseph if I should be harmed. Tho transfor passed without troubic, and I was restored to the command of my company.” INDIAN STOICISM. While 1 was tm their pits,’ says Lieutenant Jorome, ‘the Indians behaved as [ never saw Indians behave before, Some ot their dead were brought in, but they paid no special attention to them and did not much grieve over them, One of the Indians would call vat when @ dead body vod, ‘Helio! that fellow was shot yesterday,’ and that was about ai, Netthor did the Indians aoppour to care | NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1877.—I1'RIPLE SHEET much whether they were fighting or not. It was the inconvenience of Gghting or not Ogbting, as the case might be, that disturbed them. On the morning when 1 left one approached me, saying in good English, which most of them spoke, ‘I! it don’t get warmer than this we'll have to go to fighting again.’”” CIVILIZED AMBNITIRG OF WaftraKE. Lieutenant Jerome giv veral vivucious incl. dents of the battle, From the first Genera! Miles had ordered all the troops to push forward thoir intrench- ments that night in order to get nearer and nearer to the enemy. When Lieutenant Jeromo’s live was within forty or fifty yards from that: of the Nez Percés it was so arranged between the soldiers and the Indians that either side being over-fatigued (rom lying at full leogtn on their bellies tn the rifle pits might, by showing a white flag, arrest the firing aud arise and stretch their limbs and walk to and fro within full sight of each other at that deadly distance. Such a truce with white mem ou both sides has been frequent in American warfare; never botore had American soldiers such confidence in Indian magna- nimity as they were justified in exhibiting on this occasion, THE BRAVEST INDIANS ON THE CONTINENT, “Why,” said Lieatenaut Jerome, ‘those ludians are the bravest men on this contipent. There, in the firat night, when our men lay wounded alter the charge when we lost so many, they wouldn’t kil! a wounded man, All they wanted was his guo and his cartridge, beit, Several times the wounded would rise up in 6 Biltimg posture and stretch themselves, The Nex Percés never fred at them; yet if one of our men in the trenches showed his head, from flvo to ten bullets came whizzing at it on the instant, “Onee,”? suid Lieutenant Jerome, “when General Miles was riding aloug the line, an Indian jumped up and raised his revolver at bim aud chouted, ‘We Aght; wo do, General, you bet !?”” THe CURVALINKY OF TI WILDERNESS, Throughout the action there docs not yaccording to the tostimuny of all the officers of Captain Tyler's command, including Captain Syler himself, who were assembled jn my tent to night) appear to have been a single instance of mean or unheroic conduct on the part of these manly Nez Pereés, ‘they fought merrily— oven as merrily as they livod—aud died cueerily, with hardly a groau apd nevor a cowplaint So extraordi- nary a balance of tho faculties, so compieie au indif- forence to fate, such an apparent delight in mortal danger, have seldom deen associated, at least in the anuals of redmen, with an absolute and knightly chivalry toward their foes, BRAVE DEVILTRY OF THE CHRYENNES, The twenty or mofe Cheyoune scouts who headed General Miles’ advauce did not emulate this chivairy but rivalled the bravory ot the Nez Percés The Cheyennes fought in sheer love of fighting; from the moment Joseph’s village was discovered they dofled their superfluous wear, donned their war paint and Tusbed hi-bi-ing tothe fray. Lieutenant Jerome do scribes thoir feats #8 marvels of burdihood and daring. Whenever, during the four days of the engagement, the firing slackened they follto the rear and there took to comparative Vagaboudage, but when the fysil- lade of maguzine rifles rolled around the line they rushed to the front and recklessly exposed them- selves, & “CORNER” ON DEATH. “They fought,” says Jerome, “for the joy of it, At ove time four of them formed a combination queerer than avy Wall street combination | ever heard of, ‘Ynree of them burrowed in a pit und put up ‘a corner on Joseph’s whole band. Tho fourth one—the man who did the most to win the corner—then used to jamp up and leap on to his horse, and ridé out to draw tho Nez Percés fre, This bravado would, of course, oblige the Nez Percés who fired at him to expose their heads above the edges of their own trenches, where- upon the rider’s three companions would lift up and give them hell.’’ ABRIVAL OF MORMONS, MISSIONARIES AND EMIGRANTS IN CASTLE GAR- DEN OFF FOR UTAH. Tho steamer Idabo, of the Williams & Guion line, arrived ut pier No. 33 East River yesterday torenoon, bringing to thecity 149 Mormon cmigrants en route for Utab. A representative of this paper saw them in Castle Garden and had a froo convergation with the missionaries, who represented that Mormonism io Europe was anything bata delunct institution, and the doath of Brigbam Young bad impaired notbing of the zeal of the missionaries por tho fuith of the people, If there was any change at all experienced, it was a greater desire to get to Utan. Brigham’s name had so long been a household word among them that adesire to see bim aod to kuow ui persoualiy was in the beart of every true saint, and now that he had slipped off without their expecting his death, thore wus a feeling of solf reproacu among tho pvople geveruily because they had sot emigrated sovner, With such a {ub a8 that bourisbed im the Kucky Mountains it is very uatural that they should ve Clugrined wt not seeing Loeir great Prophet, wud 1b was not unlikely, remarked one of the elders, that bis uniooked for exit from this vale of Lours would con- tribute largely to swell the tide of emigration in suc- cessive years, for it 18 sometuipg to .the innocen: minus of the disciples to live under the teachings o1 a live prophet, and uot Knowing bow long the present louder may live, they want Lo “gather.” MURMON MISSIONARY FIELDS.

Choato, President of the society, in the chair, The principal business of the meoting was to hear the report of tho sub-commitsee, to which had been referred for consid- eration the letter of the Crescent and the Cross So. ciety at Lhe lust meeting, and which was published in the duily papers on the following day. ‘The report of the committoo was read last evening and was very emphatic iu the expression of its pur- poses.

It was compiamed by some geotivinen that even the very name of the Crescent and the Cross society, with the creseent above the cross, was uot likely to be lavorably received at St. Petersuurg, and the fact Was that tis society had for its presiuent a Turkish lady, andthe turkish Ambuesador in this country took’ an active interest in its progress and is xoneral workingd, Jt was not, therefore, an American Organization, Qne gentleman said that right bere was the mistake made at first—no bame should have been tukeu for the society which would ideatily it with either beiligerent, The organization suould have ‘veen thorouguly American, aud then no trouble like the present could have arisen, Some communt was also made on tho adroitness of the Crescent and the Cross Society in publinaing its own letter and then complaining that the Red Cross Society uid uot reply, the truth berng that the latter could not reply uaul alter the report had been received from the commit tee, and that report had been ouly just then handed ia, PRAYERS _ SUNDAY SCHOOLS, At Rev, Howard Crosby's church, corner of Twenty- secoud streot and Fourth avenue, ! st evening, there wus a very interesting meeting of teachers of the vari- ous Sunday schools.

Mr. Harris was asked to exp! upon any public building und replied :-— “1 wil not say as honestly as upon any public buiid- ing in the world; | won’t say exactly honestly, but as honestly as any building,” Q That word “exactly” implies that there has beon some little dishonesty? A, I take it tor granted that there will be some littio dishonesty in every public build- ing of that kind, bus itis @ disbonesty that you cannot provide against; some mun will steal a brick and some man will steal this and that; but { say my firm conv Uon is from what I know of it, that the money appro- for the new Capitol at Albany has been as hone xpended for carrying forward the work as any movey that Was ever appropriated for apy public build- ing in this country; that is the idea; | wou’t say that there has been no stealing. Q. Do you know of any dishonesty? A. I believe 1 have answered that, but I don’t kuow of any. Q Eveu of this minor sort?
