Physicians and surgeons were at once
summoned from Jackson to the scene of
the accident, and a special train carrying
physicians left Detroit nt 5 A. M. A large
force of employes ol the railroad com
pany, together with a large number of the
citizens of Jackson, are on the ground
engaged in the work of extricating bodies
from the wrerk. Railroad oQicials and
surgeons are busily at work among the
wounded, doing everytbingin their power
to alleviate suffering. The train was
made up of seven Wagner sleepers, four

vicinity. With my 29 men I can stand off
300 Indians. A company of tbe iith cav
alry reached Payne yesterday morning,
the 2d inst. From the above, which is
entirely reliable, there is probably no
doubt but what Payne's command still
exists. The news creates J great deal of
rejoicing. The letter was written by
Lieut. Price to his wife, and the above is
all the war news it contained.

Detail of (he Fight at MI'lc Hirer.
Cheyenne, Oct. 8. A courier from the
front brings the following from an officer
with Payne's command ; Milk River,
Col., Oct. 3.-0. P. M. A courier will leave
some timo to night with dipatches, if
possible. Indians still surround ns and
pour in an effective fire from the com
manding blulls at a distance of five or six
hundred yards, having a cross fire upon
our position, which position was chosen
hastily on the first day of the light. All
our horses and all but twelve mules have
been killed. We sheltered them as best
we could with wagons, but to no purpose.
Captain DoHye and Lieutenant Hughes
with company DJth cavalry, came to our
fescue yesterday morning at daybreak
after a forced night's march of thirty-five
miles from Bear river. Cheer upon cheer
rent the air from our trenches when it
was ascertained who were coining. A lull
in the firing enabled them to eome in and
shelter their horses as well as possible
taking to the fortification quickly when
tho attack redoubled its fury. Had the
heights been accessible, Captain Dodge
would have charged them with his com
pany while we covered him from our rifle
pits'; but this being impossible, the ascent
being nearly perpendicular, all wo could
do doing the remainder of the day was
to keep a good look out from our loop
holes, and return the fire when any In
dian showed his head.
The field of battle was admirably chosen
for defense by the Indians, and had it
not been foi Major Thorn burgh's advance
guard, commanded by Lieut. Cherry, dis
covering the nmbtiscade, the entire com
mand would have been annihilated. He
saw a small party of Indians disappear
over the bills hair a mile in iront ana ai
once divided his party lo reconnoiter,
and only discovered them when he had
flauked their position by about 200 yards.
Cherry rode back at full speed with two
or three men who were with him and no
tified Major Thornburgh, who had already
begun the descent into the deep lavioe
which was intended to engulf the com
mand. The Indians were dismounted
and lying down along the crest of a high,
steep rldge, not a hundred yards from the
poiut where the deadly assault would have
commenced. The two companies were
withdrawn a short distance, dismounted
and deployed in line of battle, with or
ders to await the attack of the Indians.
Lieut. Cherry was here ordered by
Thornburgh lo take a detachment of fif
teen picked men and make a reconnoi
sauce, and to communicate if possible
with tho Indians, as it was thought that
they only desired to oppose his approach
to their agency, and would parley or have
a big talk if they could be communicated
with. Cherry moved out i a gallop with
his men from the right flank, aud noticed
a like movement of about At Indians from
the left of the Indians' position. He ap
proached within a couple of huudreJ
yards of tho Indians aud took off his hat
and waved it, but the res;onse was a shot
tired at him, wounding a man of his party
and killing his horse. This was the first
shot, aud was instantly followed by a vol
ley from the Iudians. The work had now
begun in real earnest, and seeing tho ad
vantage of the position he. then held,
Cherry dismounted his detachment ond
deployed along the crest of the hill to
prevent the Indians from flanking his po
sition, or to cover tho retreat if found
necessary to retire upon the wagon train,
which was then coming up, stoutly guard
ded by Lieutenant Paddock, company D.
5th cavalry. The two companies in ad
vance were Capt. Payne's Co., F. 5th cav
alry, and Captain Lawsou's Co., 3d caval
rv, which was deployed as skirmishers,
Capt. Payne on the left and Capt. Dawson
on the right. From Cherry's iwsilion he
could see thatthe Indians were trying to
cut him oil fiom the wagons, and at once
sent word to Major Thornburgh who then
withdrew the hue slowly keeping the In
dians in check until opposite the point
his men held. When seeing that the In
dians were concentrating to cut oil his re
treat, Captain Payne, with Co. F, 5th cav
alrv, was ordered to charge the hill which
he "did in gallant style, his horse be
ing shot under him and several of his
meu wounded. The Indians having been
driven from this point, the company wus
rallied on the wagon train. Major Thorn
burgh then gave orders to Cherry to hold
his positiou aud cover Captain J- wsou's
retreat who was ordered to fall b. slow
ly with the led horses of his i upany.
Cherry called for a volunteer e.j.iad of
twelvo meu, who responded promptly
and fought with desperation. Their
names will be given in a later dispatch,
as nearly every man was wounded before
he reached camp, and two meu were
killed. Cherry brought every wounded
man with hiui. Captain Lawson, a brave
old veteran, displayed the greatest cool
ness and courage during tbe retreat,
sending up ammunition to Cherry's men
when once they were neurly without It.
Major Thornburgh starteJ back to the
wagon train after giving his final orders
to Captain Payne to charge the hill, and
to Captain LAwson and Lieutenant t iierry
to cover the retreat. He must have beeu
shot dead when barely half way there, as
his body was seen by one ofC'aptain Law
son's men, life extinct, and lying on bis
face. Captain Payne, then hi commano,
t once set about having the wounded
horses shot for breastworks, dismantling
he wagons of boxos, bundles of bedding,
corn and flour sacks, w hich were quickly
piled up for fortinc.iiiuns. Picks aud
shovels were used vigorously for digging
entrenchments. In Ute ineniitime a gal
ling tire was conceiUiited upon the com
maud from all the surrounding bluffs
which commanded the position. ol an
Indian could be seen, but the incessant
crack of their Sharp and Winchester
rides dealt fearful destruction among
horses and men.

Seattle, Oct. 11. E. B. Ebey arrived
here last evening from the headwaters of
the Skagit, bringing several specimens of
quartz from a recently discovered lead,
which assays as high as $05 per ton. It is
now generally believed that the Skagit
mines are not only very rich but very ex
tensive. A large number will leave on
outgoing steamers Monday for the dig
gings, although it is not likely that they
cau accomplish much before spring.
A Cheeriug Clrramtanre.
New York, Oct. 11. The 77wir to day
says that the longshoremen employed b
most of the European steamship com
panies, have asked their wages to be in
creased from 25 to 30 cents per hour and
that this request has been granted. The
readiness with which tho steamship man
agers grant the increase, is regarded as a
proof of returning prosperity.
A Balloon Found.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 12 A balloon
was found last evening on tho Green Bay
road, fifty miles north of Milwaukee. It
came in from a northeast direction. Con
siderable excitement has been caused
over the discovery, as it is supposed by
some to be the "Pathfinder." The basket
had been c:'t off close to the neck of the
balloon. There are no letters to be dis
covered on the can vaas, although a letter
may have been effaced, as it is in quite a
rotten condition. This can hardly be the
Wise balloon as similar balloons have
been sent up in Wisconsin atcounty fairs.
Mnrdrr In WWroiinln.
Milwaukee, Oct. 12. Judge Henry
Hayden of the Wood county court, a
politician well-known throughout the
state and candidate for attorney general
on the greenback ticket two years ago,
w.s shot and killed at Centralia, Wiscon
sin, last Thursday, by W. H. Cochrane,
cashier of the First N'ational Bank. The
affair grew out of an alleged intimacy on
the part of Hayden with Cochrane' wife,
the scandal being one of long standing.
Cochrane hod separated from his wife
some time ago, although no divorce had
been obtained. The weapon used was a
shotgun loaded with five buckshot, the
entire charge penetrating the right side
of the victim, killing him instantly. No
words passed between them ; so it is
supposed thatthe killing was premedi
tated. FOREIGN-

given to British subjects of the intended
embarkation, some of whom went on
board the steamer. All is quiet. Bur
mese otlicials appear unconcerned. The
steamer is expected to leave to-morrow.
Parole way Behind.
London, Oct. 7 The race for the Czare
vitch stakes took place to-day. At the
beginning of the race the betting was 8
to 1 against Parole and 1 to 3 against
Adamite. Adamite held a clear lead to
tho Bushes, where he was headed by Bay
Archer, with Quits and Chippendale in
attendance to Abington Milechip, where
Bay Archer was beaten. Chippendale
then drew away and Westbourne took the
second place half way up the hill. Clip
pen dale won the race by a length and a
half. There was one length between the
second and third horses. Isonomy fin
ished 4th, Parole was with the leading
horses until one-half mile from home,
when he quit their company and finished

Transcontinental Railroad.
Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 7. The goernment
to-day advertised for lenders for the con
struction of 127 miles of railway, from
Yale to Kamloops, British Columbia, to
be received op to the 17th of November.
This settles the question as the terminus
of the Cauada Pacific Railway, and the
route, so far as British Columbia is con
cerned. The section for which tenders
are called is part of the Burrard Inlet
route. It was ready for tenders months
ago. but pending results of the further ex
plorations in the Peace and Pine rfrer
region, to the north, nothing was done.
This new line will be expensive but it
open np a very fine region.

is known to have been an txpert swim

missing a sailmaker's bench and a paddle
belonging to the vessel was also found to
have disappeared. Detectives generally
express the opinion that he could not

Beanrepaire was the heroio defender of
Verdun in 1792, and is intended to
eclipse Magnan. La Boetio, author of i
work called "Contronn," will, it is sup
posed, be in suitable company near
Pierre Chan Jon, the obscure successor
of De Morny. The name of the Presi
dent of the Itepublic.ontho 20th of Janu
ary, tho day of his accession, has been
suggested as appropriate to the Ex-Rue
St. Arnaud, where M. Orevy occupied an
apartment, but his well known modesty
forbade such a stroke of adulation. It
is to become Rue de Volnoy, after the
author of "LesJRuines." Charras is to
efface Clary, an obscure member of the
Imperial family. The Municipal Coun
cil, in a sudden whim of classicism,
thought of Juvenal? out nououv careu
for the Roman satirist outside the Lux
embourg. The Rue de Bouille will get
rid of an irritating souvenir ol the enemy
of tho Revolution for the peaceful name
of an artist of great talent. The Rue
Dauphine, emblem of monarchy, must
assume the stylo of Rue de la Conven
tion. Tho Rue des Feuillanta is con
demned because the late Prefect, M. Du
val, did not think fit to consult his Coun
cil before christening it. The present
ediles suggested in its stead the Marseil
laise, but M. Herold, for his own reason,
prefers the supposed composer of that
melody, Rouget de Lisle. Tho clerical
sounding Rue des Carmens is to be re
tained, and the priestly Rue do la Visita
tion will become Rue St. Simon, be
cause that aristocratic worshiper of kings
had his abode there. "Is not this a tri

Georges Sand is to perpetuate her fame
