A courier from the front brings toe following irom an um cer with Payne's command : Battlefield, Milk River, October 3, G P. M. A courier will leave some time to night :.u j:.t,.l,o if nnaaihln Thfi Indians " - . r .ill Willi UIDOUW) H J still surround us, and pour an effective fire from the commanding bluffs at a distance of 500 or 600 yards, having a cross fire upon our position, which position was chosen hastil, on the first day of the fight. All of our horses, and all but twelve mules, have now been killed. We sheltered them as best we could with the wagons, but to no purpose. Capt. Dodge and Lieut. Hughes, with Company D, Ninth Cavalry, came to our rescue yesterday morning at daybreak, unci a iiiiibu " w - j - miles from Bear River. Cheer upon chaer rent the air from our trenches when it was ascertained who were coming. A lull in the firing enabled them to come in and shel ter their horses as well as possible, taking to the fortifications as quickly, when the at tack redoubled its fury. Had the heights been accessible Capt. Dodge would have charged them with his company, while we covered him from our rifle pits; but this being utterly impossible, the assent being nearly perpendicular, all we could do du ring the day was to keep a good lookout from the loop holes and return tbe fire when any Indian showed his head. This, however, was a veiy rare occurrence, as the Indians have rifle pits and loop boles. Be fore dark every horse but three of Capt Dodge's command was shot down. A very fortunate thing for us has been that the Indians have lett us unmolested at night, with the exception of an occasional sbot to make us scatter to our pits. We have been able, at great risk, to haul off our dead animals every night, other wise the stench would be intolerable. A aallv ia made everv nieht for water, a ... n r.-r.nn nmni a mRrr-n ill iiuriv- distance of two hundred yards from our entrenchments. Night before last private Erser, of Company F, was shot in the face while out with a party after water. The Indians were only a few yards away, and were driven off by a volley from the guard and trenches. Captain Dodge brought us the cheering news that our dispatches bad reached Bear River safely, and would undoubtedly reach Rawlins. "We have been counting the hours which it will probably take for relief to reach us. We all agree that Gen. Merritt. from Fort Russell, with the com panies of the Fifth Cavalry there, and all other available troops, will be ordered to our rescue, as they all will be needed to finish tbe campaign. The field of battle was admirably chosen for defence by the Indians, and bad it not been for Major Thornburgh's advance guard, commanded by Lieut. Cherry, discovering an ambus cade, the entire command would have been annihilated. We saw a small party of Indians disappear over the bill half a mile in front, and at once be divided his party to recocnoiter, and only discovered them when he had flanked their position by about two hundred yards. Cherry rode back at full speed with two or three men, who were with him, and notified Maj. Thornburgh, who had already begun t descent into a deep ravine, which was in tended to engulf the command. The In dians were dismounted and lying down along the crest of a high steep ridge for one hundred yards from the point where the deadly assault would have commenced. The troops were withdrawn a short dis tance, dismounted and deployed in line of battle, with orders to await the attack of the Indians. Lieut. Cherry was here or dered by Mai. Thornburgh to take a de tachment of fifteen picket men and make a reconnoisance, and communicate, if pos sible, with the Indians, as it was thought they only desired to oppose his approach to their Agency, and would parley or have a big talk if they could be communicated with. Lieut. Cherry moved out at a gal lop with his men from the right flank and noticed a like movement of about twenty Indians from tbe left of tbe Indian pos; tioa. He approached to within a couple of hundred yards of the Indians and took off his hat and waved it, but the response was a sbot fired at him, which wounded a man of his party and killed his horse This was the first shot, and was instantly foHowed by a volley from tbe Indians. Work had now begun in real earnest.and seeing the advantage of the position ke held, Lt. Cherry dismounted his detach ment and deployed along tbe crest of the hill to prevent the Indians flanking his position, or to cover bis retreat, and, it found necessary, to retire upon the wagon train which was then coming up slowly, guarded by Lt. Paddock, Company u, a utn uavairy. ureters were sent to park me wagons ana cover tnem with the com pan y guarding them. The two com names ia advance were Capt. Payne's, Company r, rum uavauy, ana uapt. Lawson's, ism XII fllL f . 1 . uampaoy su, xnira uavairy, wnich were dismounted and deployed .as skirmishers Capt. Payne on the left and Capt. Lawson on tbe right, from Cherry's position. He could see mat tbe Indians were trying to cut him off from the wagons, and at once sent word to Ma. Thornburgh, who then withdrew tbe line slowly, keeping the In uiaus in cneck until opposite tbe point which his men held, when, seeing that the Indians were concentrating to cut off his retreat, Capt. Payne, with Company F Fifth Cavalry, was ordered to charge the bill, which he did in a gallant style, his norse oeing saot irom under him and seve ral ol bis men wounded. Kawlinb, October. 8. A courier from Payne's Camp brings the following account of the arrival of relief. He reports that Gen. Merritt, on bis approach to Payne' ump, and wben only a few miles distant irom it, discovered the hostile Utes filing uut irum me uuiguooring canyons. Tbe Indians discovered Merritt at the samn time, and the General, perceiving this from their actions, ordered his men to fall back in rapid retreat. The Indians were encouraged by this manoeuvre to rush from tbetThiding places, and Gen. Merritt,push ing hia troops to a run drew them out on an open plain. He then gave the order to wheel, which the men did with admirable precision, showing in a minute's space a bristling front, where before had been a seeming struggling route. The General did not wait for the foe to attack. In leas 4ban two minutes the men poured into tbe Utes h fire which checked their advance, and forced them to seek every available cover. The battle lasted but a few hours, during which time the Indians suffered a oss ot thirty-seven killed, while Gen. Mer ritt did not lose a man. The Utes sot such a severe drubbing that they threw up a while flag in token of their wish for a parlay. This was granted by Gen. Merritt, and several chiefs entered his camp forthwith. Several of the chiefs were willing to surrender, while others were not. Geo. Merritt told them that if they would give up their arms and ponies he would do nothing more with them for the present. One or two chiefs asked whether Merritt intended to go to the agency with his troop?. He replied that he did. After a brief consultation all of the chiefs agreed to a common answer, which was, if the United Stales soldiers in vaded their reservation they would fight them until the last of the Utes lay dead. After this they heft Merritt's camp and re turned to the canyons. General Merrill then pushed forward with all baste and joined Payne with the remnant of Thornburgh's command the same Monday evening. Before Merritt's arrival Payne had been most gallantly suc cored by a colored company of forty five men of the Ninth Cavalry, under Captain Dodge. His company came down Bear River, past Steamboat Springs, last Friday night, and learning of Thorburgh's fight and Payne's situation, reeolved to get to Payne's side at every hazard. In this at tempt they were met by the besieging Utes, who turned upon them with a fire bo hot that they were compelled to dismount. In the course of a subsequent engagement this brave colored company lost every horse but tWO. ys Gen. Merritt. on his arrival, found that Payne had held out splendidly, losing only two men since the 29th, when Rankin left. The Indians bavins been driven from this point, the company was rallied on tbe wagon tram, and Major Thornburgh then gave orders to Cherry to hold this position and cover Captain Lawson's rear, Who was ordered to fall back slowly with the horses of bis company. Cherry called for volun teers of twenty men, who responded prompt ly 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 men were killed. Cherry brought every wounded man in with him. Captain Lawson. the brave old veteran. displayed the greatest calmness and cour age during this retreat, sending up ammu nition to Cherry 8 men when once the)' were nearly without it. Major Thornburgh started back to the wagon train after giving his final orders to Captain Payne to charge the hill, and to Captains Lawson and Cherry to cover the retreat. Thornburgh must have been Shot dead when barely half way there, his body being seen lying on the face. .Payne, who was then in command, set about having tbe wounded horses shot for breastworks, and dismantling the wagons of boxes, bundles, etc., which were piled up for fortifications. Picks and shovels were used vigorously for digging entrench ments. -In the meantime a galling fire was concentrated upon the command front all the surrounding bluffs which com manded tbe position. Not an Indian conld be seen, but the incessant cracks of their Sharp and Winchester rifles dealt fearful destruction among the horsea, and men. The groans of the dying and agonizing cries ot tbe wounded told what fearful havoc was being made among the deter mined and desperate command. The Indi ans, at tbe beginning of the fight, had set Are to the dry grass and the sage brush. ana to wmawara oi our position, lt now came sweeping down towards us, the flames leaping high into the air, and immense columns of smoke rolling on to engulf us. It was a sight to make the stoutest hears quake, and the fiends were waiting ready to give us a volley as soon as we wert driven from our shelter. Now it reachee the flank, and blankets, blouses and empty sacks were freely used to extinguish the flames. Some of tbe wagons were Bet on fire, which required all the force possible to smother it. No water can be obtained and the smoke is suffocating, but tbe fire passes. and we still hold our position. Meantime a constant volley is poured udoo us. CaDt Payne is wounded for the second time, and First Sergeant Dolan. of Company F. is killed instantly. McKinstry and McKee are killed, and many others wounded. The men have now mostly covered themselves, but tbe poor horses and mules are con atantly falling about us. Just about' sun aown a cnarge was attempted, but it was repulsed, the Indians trying to drive off some of our horses which had broken loose The attack ceased at dark, and soon eve ry man was at work enlarging the trench and hauling out dead horses, caring for the wounded and burying tbe dead. At daylight the attack was resumed, and the firing of the sharp-shooters has been kept up every day since, and occasionally at nignts sending us to our pits in a scram ble. This is tbe fifth day of our siege, but we are determine! to bold out, if it takes monin ior succor to reach us; out we are confident Gen. Merritt, whose name is upon tne lips ot every one, is on tbe road to res cue us. As 1 write this tbe bullets are whis tling over the top of our trench. They often strike tbe grain sacks a few inches above our beads, but we are deep enough to be comparatively safe. Los Pinos, Col., October 8. But little doubt remains that Agent Meeker was mar dered by the Indians, together with his men. Information received through run ners support. the hope that the women and children were spared and are at Chief Dou glass' house.

Charleston, October ft Tbe report of the Charleston Exchange for September is condensed from replies of sixty-nine corre spondents in twenty-sight counties, of average date 80th September. The weather during the month is reported by all as be ing venMVarM verylavmbie for picking, but by most as unfavorable for the malur ing of tbe top crop. Growth having been specked by drouth, the plant was fruiting well, but in most cases not retaining its squares and boils. Many complain of con siderable damage done by the rust. The lower counties report two-thirds as having been picked, while the upper counties aver age about one-third picked. The estimates of seed cotton yielded per .acre vary from three hundred pounds to eight hundred pounds, tbe average being four hundred and fifty pounds to tbe acre. The yield, as compared with last year, is estimated to tie the same in three counties, and from 10 to 50 per cent, less in twenty -fiv counties on an average estimate about 20 per cent, less, which deficiency, however, may be considered to some extent counterbalanced by tbe increase in the acreage.
