(cn Howard Gives an Account
of a Battle. .
, SaS Peancisco , July 14. A press dis
patch from Portland says the following
official dispatch has just been received
from Gen Howard : "By making a
forward and forced march,! struck the
enemy at 1 p.- m., yesterday, about
three- hundred strong, in a deep canon
near thewoutb, of the Ctottoflwood
and near'the' south fork tf Clear yateg,
I opened fire at once with howitzers,
and succeeded in starting the Indians
from their position. - Passing around
transverse the canon for a mile and a
half, I began the battle in good earnest,
aad, dismounting, formed in the
ravines and behind rock barricades,
well prepared. For seven hours every
charge we made, gained on them. Still
at night our position was not a very
good pne. as. the- army lay beyoncLmy
communications; 4nd I was! short of
rations. This morning by a determined
effort we retained bur spring! of water
irom some snarp-siiooiers. xnisaiter-
noon I gave our lines to the care of
Capt Perry, commanding the cavalry,
and Capt Miles battalion of infantry.
I drew out Capt Miller's battalion
of artillery acting as infantry. Just
as we were ready to recommence the
offensive work,Oapt Jackson the
f ack train appeared in. sigheond
he Indians' position. Miller pushed
but in a skirmish order, met the train
and escorted it successfully. They had
hardly formed' the" junction with us,
when the artilery battalion, already be-
vond the enemy s Hank, made a rapid
movement, taking 'Gatling guns and
howitzers along. The Indians made a
desnerate effort to flank Miller, but
failed, and then save way. Everything
was then pushed inpursiiU.' We RhelP
ed them rapidly from high bluffs as
they escaped from the left of the river;
and followed, tnfeni; escaping" inieverv
direction, as far as the river, and are
now across and gQJPg into pamp.
7:30 P. M The loss of the Indians
appears to be thirteen killed and guite
a large number wounded. ' We' nave
Capt Bancroft and Lieut Williams, and
eleven enlisted men killed, ;; and, twenty
nine wouiid'. d. Tlie camps were aban
doned in c:eit "naste," "leaving much
plunder. The Indians fought as well
aa anj troops I ever saw, and so did
ours, not one :man failings sin his'duty.
I now believe that ! am LV fine icondi
tibn; - just as soon as Green appears
from Boise, to make thorough work
with these Indians. Tbey? are making
for the Snake country, and I for con?
centration atMountldaho. The troops
have never done harder or morr rapid
campaigning;' -or- better fighling-than
these.

says: ' irom a close inspection of

observations of the Turkib positions
facing them, it is perfectly explicable

"With drastic cathartics and hurtful salivants
and use that rational and genial recuperant,
Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters, the success of
which in the eradication lof disease and the
building up of feeble constitutions has ut
terly confuted the preposterous medical
theorists who insisted on the rationality of
depleting the frame in order to restore it to
health; Appetite, easy digestion, regular
evacuations, a natural flow of bile, are as
sure a result of the use of the finest of Amer
ica's invigorants as increased loss of power
and irritation of the system were, of the old
exhausting method. . The new era of medi
cal treatment inaugurated by the Bitters is
indeed a happy one for the sick and feeble,
for it has not only placed health within
their reach, but saved them from the hurt
ful consequences of an absurd fallacy.
