Pine Ridge Agency, Dee. 31.-The Jth Camlry
had jnat reaehed camp yeaterday mornlng, after
repulsing the attaek made on their supply trnin
by Two Strike'a ?aand, when a courier arrived
with word that the Cathollc mltsion was on flre
and the leachera and pupila were being maaaacred.
In twenty minutes the weary and hungry aad
almoflt exhauated cavalry were once naore iu mo
tion. They found that the rlrc waa at the day
achool, one mile this aidc of the mission.
Tbe Indiana. under command of Little Wound
and Two RtrUce, were found to the number of
1,800 about a mile beyond the misaion. The 7th
formed a line and l*gan the fightlng, which was
carried on by only 300 or 400 Indiana at a time.
while the great maas kept concealed. General
Foreyth suspected an ambuah and did not lct
them draw him into dangerous ground.
Colonel Henry atarted one hour later than
Forsyth, and owing to the cxhaustion of his
horses, had to travel vcry alow. The 7th became
Hiirrounded by the redskins, but just as the circle
was ready to cJiargo, the Otli broke in upon the
rear of the hostiles, and they vanished. The
wearv soldierg slowly retreated. reaching the
agency at dark. Tlie infantry had been ordered
out, but were stopped by the sigbt of the head of
the column of cavalry. The aoldiers. brave and
heroic aa they were, were greatly outnumbered,
and tliere arc not e .ough troops at this point to
clean out theee Indiana, wbo are still comped
within aeven miles of the agency. The damago
done by the troops is small. Lieutenant Mann, of
Company E, 7th Cavalry, waa wrunded, shot
throngb the sidc. The Firet Scrgcant of Com?
pany K was alBo wounded.
Omalia, Ncb., Dee. 31 .-A " Bee" cnrrospr)ndent
at Pinc Ridge telegraphs that General Brooke
has just received news frctn tbc scenc of the Hght
at the Catholic Misaion, on Clay Creck, that mx
men of the 7th Cavalry have been killed and
mamy wifiindod. Further particulars have not yet
been received. Tlie flrst iutimation of the trouble
at the mission was brought latc yesterday after
noon by a courier, wbo rushed in with the start-*
ling news trfat the mission billding, where thcro
arc a number of Catholic priests and sisters and
hundreds of children, was surrounded by hostiles
and had been net' on flre. The cavalrymen, who
had had scarcely any rest for four days, were in
st.untly in the aadclle and with a couple of Hoteh
kiss puns started on a gallop for tho mission." As
the dispatch was being written tlie roar of the
guns could be heard, jndicating that, a hot fight
was in progress.
Two Strikc. Little Wound, Bhort Bull and other
ehiefa ran nwa? froaa the agency. Monday night)
after hearing of the Wounded Kr.ee fight. taking
with them hundreds of warnors. They also coni
pelled the old enief, Red Cloud, to accompa.py
them under threat of death. It' is these Indiana
who looted tbe ?????pply train yesterday morning
and In tho afterno--n raidod the Catholic mission.
General fcfiltt left Chadron at 4 a. m. for Pine
Rideo with a large force of oavairy. It is reported
Ibal tbe ri.n.".es on Wlut- Rt*Cf havo I -vu pil
lagt <l, boreee afoaea and eattle killod. John Dyer,
ehiet herder of the (iovernment herd, has abnn
doned his eattle. Thrcc ranohcrs are ? reported
killod on Whito Kivcr.
Tbe Catholic mission near Chadron was hurned
by Indiana this morning. General Brooke has
ordered detochtaenta tliere to gnard the town. It*
is now anowing on the icaeivaaton and a blizzard
is aeutag in. Ranebera are leavinfj their. horuos
and flocking into Chadron. The loaa of lifc and
property is groat. Throe thousnnd Indians arc
said to havo broUen away from the igeney ?nd to
have gone on tho warpath.
A dispatch to "The llee"' from Rnshville says:
" A Minding snowstorm, whii-h is fast nssuming
tbe proportions of a blizzard. hogan falling here
and at the agency ?t 0 o'clock this morning.
Adviecs are that the desultory fight WM kept un
nearly all sight at tho I.ite battle-gronnd, within
a few railos of tho igeney, nntil by reason of the
MWpidOtt actions of tho eJfefed friendly Indians
in camp noar the uircney tho troops were called iu

years to redeem the pledge. It ha? now, in the)
sufllcient trinity of a Republlcan Senate. a Re
publican Houae and a Kepuhlican Preaident, both
the power to kecp and the renewed duty to fulnl
thc covenant. Time haa not leeaencd, but, in
atead, increaaed, the necd of the law. The South
has aougbt, by enacting a foroe blll in almoet
every Southern State, to nullify tlie univeraai
suffrage amcndracnt* to the National Conatitu

conhtitutional convention illegally convoked. haa
boldly iltofrancliibfd the colored votera aoong ita
cttizcns. The rnillion of votera in the South now
practically disfranchlaed are diafranchiaed not be
cause they are negroea but beeauae they are Re
publicana. For tho Democratio party not only
allowa them to vote in thia later day whcn they
vote thc Deniocratic ticket, but in North Carolina

Only a few daya ago I beard the suceesaful Ihmo

trict of North Carolina apend ttfteen minutea in a
apeech at a meeting in Asheville in gloriflcation of
his election, in thanking and eulogizing, the negToee
who had voted for him and other Democratio
candidatea at that election. I have ju.at spent
ftve weeks in that region. and on conatant in
veatigation I found acarcely any negroea under
thirty yeara of age who could not read. The cry
of ignorance, under which the oppoaitlon of that
Democrata to ncgro auffrage wra ao long and so
suceesafully maaked, waa good aa to thc war
negroea, but it faila with the new gencration of
hlacka.
COLORED MEX HOLD THE BALANCE Or POWER.
"Now. if all the negroea would vote the Demo?
cratio ticket, 'the tremendous race prohlem' that
Micy talk abottt m niuch, and all the florid non
sense aliout 'the all-pervading and all conquering
white race,* would anddeniy end. The new
sjtuation drawa a sharp party line. The Demo?
cratio plot to boldly to disfranchiae a nitllion Re
publican votera. The Kepuhlican duty, under the
