Uoi., uct. j.-o. r, 31. A courier will leave
some time to-night with dUpatches, if
possible. Indians still surround us and
pour in an ettective tire from the com
mending bluffs at a distance of five or six
hundred yards, having a cross fire unon
our poaiuuu, w hich position was chosen
hastily on the first day of the fight. All
our horses and all bnt twelve mules have
been killed. We sheltered them as best
we could with wagous, but to no ournose.
Captain Dodge and Lieutenant Huurhes
with company U.'Jth cavalry, came to our
rescue 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 coming. A lull
in tbe firing enabled them to eome in and
shelter their homes as well as possible
taking to tbe fortification quickly when
the attack redoubled its lury. Hud the
heights been accessible, Captain Dodge
would have charged them with his com
pany while we covered him from our rifle
nits ; but this being impossible, the ascent
being nearly perpendicular, ail we could
do doing the remainder of the day was
to keep a good look out from our loop
notes, anu return tne nre when any in
man snowed his Dead.
Tbe field of battle was admirably chosen
tor defense by the Indians, and bad it
not been foi Malor Thorn lmrtrli'i ail vanra
guard, commanded by Lieut. Cherry t dis--
covering me m ouscaue, tne entire com
mand would have been annihilated. He
saw a small party of Indians disaunear
over the hills half a mile in front and at
once divided bis party 10 reconnoiter.
and only discovered them when- hn linil
flanked their position by about 200 yards.
Cherry rode back at full onpprl with twn
0'th,rS? man ho were with him and no
tified Major Thornburgh, who bad already
uwwni into tne deep ravine
which was intended to engulf the com
mand. Tbe Indians were; dismounted
and lying down along the crest of a high,
steep ridge, not a hundred yards from the
point where the deadly assault would have
commenced.. The two companies were
withdrawu 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
Thornbnivh to take a detacrimiitt nf fir.
teeu picked men and make a reconnoi-
sance, and to communicate if possible
with the Indians, as it was thought that
they only desired to oppose bis approach
to their agency, and would parley or have
a uig iuik ii iuey could oe communicated
wiui. cnerry moved out t a gallop with
his men from tbe rich t flank, and noticed
a like movement of about 20 Indians from
the left of the Indians' position. He ap
proached within a couple of hundred
yards of the Indians and took off his hat
and waved it, but the response was a shot
urvu mi. mm, wouuuing a maniot his party
and killing his horse. This 4as the first
shot, aud was instantly followed by a vol
ley irom me Apuiausr lhe work had now
begun in real earnest, and set ing the ad
vantage of the position he then held.
Cherry dismounted his detac iment and
deployed along the crest jof the hill to
prevent the Indians from flanking his po
sition, or to cover the retreat if found
necessary to retire npon the wagon train,
which was then comma un. 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 Lawson's Co., 3 J caval
ry, which was deployed as skirmishers.
Capt. Payne on the left and Capt. Dawson
on the right. From Cherry's position he
could see that the Indians were trying to
cut him off fiom the wagons, and at once
sent word to Major Thornburgh who then
withdrew tbe line slowly keemne the In
dians in check until opposite the point
his meu held. When seeing that the In
dians were concentrating to cut od' his re
treat, Uiptain fayne, with Co. t , 5tb cav
alry, was ordered to charge tbe hill which
he did in gallant style, bis horse be
ing shot under him and several of his
men wounded.. The Indians having been
driven from this point, the company was
rallied on the wagon train. Major Thorn-
burgh then gave orders to Cherry to hold

A Rich Strike of Gold on Ruby Creek.
Seattle. Oct. 8. N. E. Goodeli. formerly
of the firm of E. B. Ebey & Co., of Ibis
ci ty, arrived here to day, bringing with
him is ounces or coarse drift gold from
the Skagit mines. He states that there
are now 30 men in the diggings on Ruby
Creek, who recently struck it rich and
are taking out from $5 to $12 per day to
the man. lhe mines were discovered
last fall by a prospector named Rawley,
w iintooKSu in drift gold irom a pocket
on Ruby Creek in a few hours. The
news reaching this city and other sound
ports, a rush set in for the mines. Taking
it lor granted thst gold existed in paving
quantities in the bed of tbe creek, some
60 men have been at work all summer
constructing ditches for the purpose of
draining it. lied rock, however, was
found clear and smooth with no traces of
cold upon its surface. Dbguhted with
the summer's work, the men began to
pick np and leave for home. Ou their
way ont about two weeks ago the rem
nants of the force, some 30 in number.
camped on tne lorKs or a creek over
night, six miles below the scene of their
Bummer's work, and upon leaving the next
moruing traces of gold were discovered
along the banks of the stream. From
these indications, they went to work and
soon took out over an ounce of gold.
Since then the party have taken out some
3o ounces, although a considerable nor-
tion of the force have been engaged dur
ing tbe time in packing in provisions a
distance of 35 miles, and not in actual
digging. Flattering prospects have since
been found at several other points along
(Jan yon and kudv creeks, and a big rush
for the mines is likely to set in.
Xlsip's Iitap.
San Francisco, Oct. 10 Detectives en
gaged in searching for Alsip, who jumped
irom tne snip rotnorawoasshe was en
tering the harbor on Tuesday night, have
thus far fonnd no clue indicating that he
succeeded in making shore. It is thought
no mat mere was more method in his
rash act than was at first supposed. Alsip
is known to nave been an t xpert swim
mer. and it now appears that after ho was
missing a sailmaker's bench and n paddle
uejonging to me vessel was also louiid to
have disappeared. Detectives generally
express the opinion that he could not
hftvo made the shore, and thnt the pilot
or tne Valparaiso believes that no man
could have lived in the chopping sea that
prevailed at the time when Alsip took to
the water ; but as he had an opportunity
to communicate by letter forwarded bv
steamer with friends in this city after his
arrest and before he left Calluo, it is
thought possible that he may have had
assistance from friends in this city in his
escape, and that a boat may have been
stationed ready to pick him up when he
tea tne snip. Whether or not there is
any truth in this theory, his exnected ar
rival in San Francisco on the Valvaraito
was certainly known by others besides
the police authorities, and on tho morn
ing after the, Valparaiso entered at this
port and before the fact of Alsip's escape
had been published or generally known
several persons called at the police office
and inquired whether he was in the city

Street Changes In Paris.
The report of the Prefect of the Seine
on the subject of the proposed changes
in the names of the streets in Paris, which
has : just been published, provokes
numerous comments. M. Herold begins
by acknowledging that changes in
familiar nomenclature are undesirable
unless specially called for by public or
national considerations. He proceeds
forthwith, however, to make the excep
tion prove the rule, and either on his
own proposition, or as month-piece of
the Municipal Council, lays before tiie
Minister of the Interior a table for re
classing highways and byways that will
stagger the most knowing of Parisian
Jarvies. To begin with that prominent
landmark the Place de l'Etoile, where
stands the magnificent Arc de Triomphe
(now crowded by Cook's tourists, one of
whom may be heard contending with his
fellows that this monument is really no
finer than the marble arch on Oxford
street) , twelve avenues radiate from its
center, three of which the Prefect ot the
Seine intends sacrificing, to wit the Roi
de Borne, Josephine, and Heine II or
tense. . In their places the names of
Eleber, Marcean and Hoche are to ap
pear. M. Herold expresses surprise that
none of these Republican generals have
been honored in this spot dedicated to
martial memorials, and can only account
for the omission by the fury of Imperi-;
alist worship. It seems high time that
they should have their due now. Four
leading persons of the Second Empire
are to be relegated to oblivion Marshals
8t. Arnrud and Magnani and MM. Ab
batucci, and Billault. The first because
he owed his Marshal's staff to the abom
inable crime of which he was one of the
principal authors, viz., the coup d'etat.
The second, because nobody desires the
maintenance of his name. The third be
cause there is a doubt as to its paternity,
whether a General of the same name, or
the Minister of Justice, the Abbattuci, of
the Second of December. As public
opinion identifies the street with the lat
ter, there can be no question of its being
spared. Billault ought to disappear, be
cause talent is no extenuating circum
stance in a case of political apostocy. In
their place we are promised the names
Lincoln, Beaurepaire, LaBoetie, Char
ras and Bouget de Lisle. Lincoln and
Washington are suggested by their
proximity to the Cham ps-Elysees, Ameri
can spirits, who are expected to feel
highly honored at the compliment.
Beaurepaire was the heroic defender of
Verdun in 1792, and is intended to
eclipse Magnan. La Boetie, author of a
work called "Contreun," will, it is sup
posed, be m suitable company near
Pierre Chandon, the obscure successor
of De Moray. The name of the Presi
dent of the Republic, on the 29th of Janu
ary, the day of his accession, has been
suggested as appropriate to the Ex-Rue
St. Arnaud, where M. Grevy occupied an
apartment, bnt his well known modesty
forbade snch a stroke of adulation. It
is to become Rue de Volney, after the
author of "Les Ruines." Charras is to
efface Clary, an obscure member of the
Imperial family, lhe .Municipal Coun
cil, in a sudden whim of classicism,
thought of Juvenal, bnt nobody cared
for tbe Roman satirist outside the Lux
embourg. The Bue de Bouille will get
rid of an irritating souvenir of the enemy
of the Bevolution for the peaceful name
of an artist of great talent. Tbe Bue
Dauphine, emblem of monarchy, must
assume the style of Bue de la Conven
tion. The Hue des remnants is con'
demned because the late Prefect, M. Da
val, did not think fit to consult his Coun
cil before christening it. The present
edilea suggested in its stead tbe Marseil
laise, but M. Herold, lor his own reason,
prefers the supposed composer of that
melody, Bouget de Lisle. The clerical
sounding Bue des Carmens is to be re
tained, and the priestly Bue de la Visita
tion will become Rue tat. bunon, be
cause that aristocratic worshiper of kings
bad his abode there. Is not this a tri
unphant answer to those who accuse us
of blind exclusiyeness?"asks the Perfect
Georges Sand is to perpetuate her fame
in the appropriate precincts of a theater
near Paul Louis Courier. Marie Louise
and Marie Louise Antoinette streets are
to have "and" interposed between the
double name, according to the original
idea of their founders, who never thought
of these royal personages, but only of
their two daughters. "Where is tbe
cause for laughter or complaint of intol
erance?" here again inpuires M. Herold.
Ledru-Itollin is to bowl over a Colonel
named Lacuee, whose only claim to dis
tinction consisted in having been killed
at Austerlitz, though his remains are
nromisnd preservation bv mv of transla
tion to another locality. The too familiar
sound of xnazas to peccant journalisto is
to vanish in favor of the encyclopaedist
Diderot, and Jbxlgar Cjninet is to wipe out
Bouleyard de Montronge, "which ill re
sponds to geographical truth." The Bue
d'Enfer has already been converted into
JLienfert (tne name of the defender of
Be If ort), although the Prefect is no par
tisan ot this play upon world. torr.

Garibaldi's Friar Tuck. The life of
Fra Pantaleo, who has often been de
scribed as the Friar Tuck of Garibaldi,
and who was lately buried at Borne with
out any religious ceremony, was a very
beautiful one, as Menotti Garibaldi anil
several of her former comrades reminded
the large concourse of people who fol
lowed him to his grave. Bora in 1835,
he became a Franciscan before he was 21,
and was appointed Professor of Philoso
phy at the bemmary of Falmero. His
views, however, were very displeasing to
the Archbishop of Palmero, who declared
him to be a heretic, and stopped bis
course of lectures. This was just
about the time, the revolutionary
movement was beginning in Sicily and
Fra Pantaleo entered into it with great
fervor. The attempted insurrection in
April, 1860, having failed, Fra Pantaleo,
in the garb of a monk, and with a orosa
in his hand, scoured the surrounding
country, preaching a holy vrar, and col
lecting to his standard hundreds of peas
ants, whoso rallying cry was: "Death
to the Bourbons!" When Garibaldi
landed at Marsala he vras at onee joined
by Fra Pantaleo, -who presented him to
his friends as "the new TJgi Bassi."
Garibaldi afterwards gave him his por
trait, with the characteristic inscription!
"To my friend and companion in arms,
Pantaleo, to whom Italy and tho world
owe a debt of gratitude." He entered
Palmero with ''The Thousand," and was
wounded there, and afterwards acoonv
panied Garibaldi in his campaign in the
Tyrol at Mentena. When Garibaldi

How the Caffre Sing Kept ttU ff.rd.
Trooper Bickers, bolnnrr;

some fame, has Come in with a remarka
ble story of his adventures dnrino hi.

enemy and taken to Secocoeni's, where
he was right royally treated, and sent
away with present of 6 from the chief
and a letter to prove that he had been in
the kraal, hie says:
"My horse being knocked no. T was
ordered to remain with the Caffres at
Murder Kop, with Mr. Taintnn, but as I
did not rightly comprehend my instruc
tions I continued on the march and re
joined my troop, which was B troop,
Ferreira's horse, and I remained with
them until the first lot of cattle were
taken. After this I got separated from
the main body and fell in with five oth
ers who had also lost themselves. They
were Peter Grant, Abrahams, Blackburn,
George and St. Croix. We rode through
put the morning without finding the
spoor of the main body. My horse by
this time was so exhausted that I shouted
to tbe men and wanted them to stop, but
they went on, and were frequently two
hundred yards ahead of me. At length I
was left alone altogether, as I could not
keep np to them. I remembered that
Grant had told me that the Panama fiats
were on the other side of a high moun
tain; but before I got halfway ud mv
horse gave in, and I let him loose, after
which I never saw him again until I got
to Secocoeni's. I then walked over the
mountains and on the flats in search of
water, but found none until noon the
following day. The river where I got it
was smaller than the Olif ants river, and
I followed it because I met large troops
of cattle. Nobody saw me. I went tow
ard a high mountain, but was too tired to
get to the top that night, and walked up
the next morning. When here, I made
np my mind to f ollow the first path I saw.
"While going aletig I saw large troops
of cattle, and at noon I observed a Caffre
town in front of mei Two Caffre women
saw me and gave the alarm. I then hid
my gun in the bush. I was beaten and
scratched by tbe women, and some men
came ont and took me into a kraal. I
told them that I had left Middleburg
drunk, and had lost the road, but they
laughed at me. They, however, gave me
something to eat and drink. After this
I was marched off -to Secocoeni's town,
about six miles away. Here the men
came out in thousands, and I was beaten
with sticks. A brother of Secocoeni's
came out afterward and took me up to
Secocoeni's kraal. Secocoeni sent to say
that I must not be afraid and ordered
that I should be taken to a hut and tied
up. In the evening I had an interview
with Secocoeni, and told him the same
story I had told the others about the
reason of my being in the neighborhood.
The Chief said he was not such a fool as
to believe that. He then gave me some
beer to drink and dismissed me, raying
that I must not be afraid as he would see
that I should be sent to the fort safely.
j.uo ucii, uy a aia not see tne uniei, du
on the day after he sent for me and told
me to speak the truth to him. I was
shown four Martini-Henry rifles (one
of which I recognized as mine, which I
had hid away,) and fifteen cartridges.
Secocoeni then produced the arm and
hand of a white man, and said the five
men had been seen and two were dead.
He again asked me to speak the truth.
and I confessed that I belonged to Fer
reira's Horse. He then said that he had
given his word, and never broke it, and
I should go, and added that he knew as
well as a white man how to treat a prig
oner. ..... -.
" I was next asked if I recognized the
arm, and the spectacles of Peter Grant
were held up before me. The day after
I saw Secocoeni again, when he said I
should get my horse back, and in the
evening I told him that I could ride
without a saddle. In the morning he
oiiered two Caffres to accompany me
witii a white flag, and I was brought
through by Mamaluhe to this side on the
road to the fort. Secocoeni s brother was
with me up to this time, and before leav
ing he gave me ten half-sovereigns in
gold. In the town I noticed there were
many thousands of Caffres. Secocoeni
wanted to know why the war was still
carried on against him, and why peace
was not made. The chief whose cattle
was captured by us was there and he tied
my legs. He added that he and his peo
ple would fight the white man to the lat
and that we had better not come to his
side of the mountains, as we would never
get out again. A paper was given me by

Life in LeadTUle. '
A correspondent of the Chicago frier
Ocean who has been spending aonis ,
months in Leadville, and in the conrA
of a lengthy letter, gives some facts of
interest about the cost of living there
now. Hesavs: ;'
The cost nf liriniy Viata now ia mneli

ago;. Very good accommodations iurv

dollars per week, while many of the res-

five cents. Ii persons are disposed to

To give an idea of the cost of some of
the accommodations here, I will mention
he following: riding pony, saddle and
bridle, $3 per day: hay 860 to 870 wr
ton now two weeks since it was going
at 1120 per ton; cabbage, turnips, beebt, '
potatoes, etc., 5 cents per pound at joi
ning prices, and at retail from 6 cents
to 7 cents: flour retails at 5 nr irtd -
pounds; lumber, native, at 25
and Chicago at $60; corn and oats from
a cents to H cents per pound. Bents
are very high. ; Small , store-rooms in
frame buildings run at not Iakx than
300 per month, oflioes at from 50 to
$100, while the Theater Comique. occu
pying a comparatively small building on
ouwe street pays a monthly rental of
$1300. Business lots range very high.

middle of the day, when it is almost as
warm as in Chicago. Snow remains on
the mountain tops within sight of the
town, all the year around, and of course -
a cool breeze is constantly blowing. As
to the health of the place, those who
nave wintered here maintain that, with
ordinary care and proper clothing, no
trouble will be experienced. Durincr
last winter and spring hundreds of per
sons rushed in here, taking with them
their habits of drinking bad whisky in
excessive quantities, and observing bad
hours, but neglecting to take clothing
sufficient and of. a proper kind, and,
through these bad habits and exposures.
contracted disease which in some instan-
stances resulted fatally. Pneumonia
prevailed to a considerable extent dur
ing February and March among the un
acclimated, and perhaps it is not wise for
persons unaccustomed to the climate to
come here in the winter season. - By go
ing during the months of July, August
and September, it is thought they will
become sufficiently accustomed to the
climate, that with the proper care they
will have no difficulty about their health.
At present the health of the place
is much better in the average Eastern
towns. There is a great demand for
bricklayers at present, and those who see
fit to come will readily command'
wages. Brick buildings in many in
stances are being built, not because of the
inabililty to procure workmen m thia
line. There are a good many times anl
footpads hanging around,- and strangers
coming here should be careful about
going out alone on any but public
streets.
