We bad only proceeded about fou miles wbeu tb* sound of firing was beard a aboit distance ahead and immediately tbe toouta fell back.

As Boon aa we came oat of the bush we were within 71 jaris of their tire and suffered some damage, but t ur tiist raab forced them to atek, without delay, the better aod tar later refuge of ike coulee. During the first rush tbe hits, hum. ping and zip of tbe various kinds of bullets they were firing at us were well sustain- ci, aud tbe lire waa promptly returned by tbe '.'0:b. Capt.

They extended for attack aud approached the coulee in tbe rear, almost within wbiaperiLg dintaiee : but, with the exception of a few shot* from the pilr, tbo tiring had oeated. About 5pm. tbe 90tb re-formed and were- ruarobed towards the river, a distance of, perhaps, a mile at.d a half. A safe camp (round waa found, aud here we have been ever since. Ou vinitiug tbe fcene of the- engagement a dreadful scene of blood wa witnemed. About 30 horses, most of tier. in tbe coulee, were found lying in their blood, and traces of humau blood were seen in tbe pita and in the bush. Tbe wbole place wan literally cut up with ensile and bullets. Only two desd Indians were found, from which fact 1 deduct tbe following, which I suspected dariug the fight : " The Indians left in a hurry." We have no means of telling what their loesea were, but I think it must na\e been very great. They fought desperately, but from tbe first it waa plainly feeu that only their instinctive ability to take cover and tbeir strong | o-i- tion enabled them to stand as tbey did. From my experience of " ride cracks ' and shooting in particular I think tbey are poorly t '{uippeil, and must before long, if tbey mean fighting, have to oomr. lately succumb : but I rather think tbey will try to get out.
