FORT ROBINSON, J a n . 23.—Couriers arrived th is morning confirming the news received late last n ight of the bat t le between Capt. Wessels' command, consisting of four oompanies of the Third cavalry, and the escaped Cheyennes yes­terday morning. Trails were discovered lead­ing in the direction of the large rango of hills some eighteen miles northwest of Bluff station, a distance of forty-eight miles from this post, and were followed by Capt . Wessels un t i l he was within three miles of the hills, where he halted and formed skirmish lines. All four companies were deployed as skirmishers, Com­pany ' •P , " Lieut . Baxter, moving from the south to the northeast side; Company " H , " Capt.Wessels, di iectly opposite; Company " E , " Capt. Lawson, closed in a t the mouth of a ra­vine where the Indians had entrenched them­selves, and Company " A " moved to their rear, t hus hemming them in on all sides, leaving no possible avenue of escape. The Indians had plnced themselves in a deep washout, keeping under cover.

As soon as the skirmishers were within 150 yards of the savages' stronghold the la t ter opened a deadly fire, ki l l ing Sergeant Taggart and privates Brown and Nelson, of Company A, and dangerously, if not fatally, wounding private Deboisse, Company H. Despite the dreadful volley poured in to the troop3 they steadily advanced, and when within seventy-five yards of the savages' position fire was opened on all sides with terrible effect. At th is moment Capt. Wessels, leading his company and loudly cheering them forwaid, received a slight sea l ) wound fiom a pistol in the hands of one of the bloodthirsty Cheyennes, render­ing him completely insensible. Lieut . Chase, commanding Company A, seeing the command­ing- officer fall, rushed forward ins tant ly , seized Capt. Wessels and carried him beyond range of the enemies fiie, then dashing to the head of his own company gallantly led them to the very e ]ge of the washout, where they fought the enemy with unabated fury.

Meanwhile the intrepid Wessels having re­gained consciousness, ajjain came to the front and seeing the ground strewn with the dead bodies of the savages implored his men to cease filing with a view to get t ing the remaining Cheyennes to surrender, bu t the lat ter s tub­bornly refused, and rushed a t the troops wi th formidable hun t ing knives, having expended all their ammuni t ion , determined to surrender to death only. B u t ere they had advanced many paces the troops poured in another volley and all was over.

Companies F and E were in a bad position to accomplish much, while Col. Ewans with B and D companies remained on the opposite bluff from where Capt. Wessels s tarted, and not knowing the position of Wcssel's command an ived too late tor action.

On the cessation of firing the dead bodies of twenty-three Indians were found in the rifle pi ts occupied by them, including seventeen bucks, fou ' equaws and two papooses. Nine remained of whom one buck and three squaws were more or less wounded, and three squaws unhur t . ~Oi the troops b u t the tKree heretofore mentioned were killed, and Capt. Wessels and one private o t his company wounded. The lat ter cannot live.

Ambulances left here a t an early hour th is morning to bring in the dead and wounded, and are now moving back slowly. They are expected here with the troops to-morrow,

LIEUT. VABNUM.

[Special Telegram to the Globe.] CHICAGO, J a n . 23.—From the evidence

of Lieu t . Varnum • in the Reno in­qui ry to-day, i t was gathered t h a t Gen. Ouster m u s t have kept himself informed and known t h a t Reno's men were s tanding on the defensive. I t was his idea a t the t ime tha t Custer had either been corralled l ike Reno or had gone down the river to join Terry, who was coming u p .

DR. R. n . PORTER, who was acting; assistant surgeon under Caster, and who was wi th Reno's battal ion, was pu t on the s tand. From his evidence i t seems tha t he also understood t h a t Custer was expected to suppor t Reno. The ad ju tan t had told Reno tha t Custer was coming along when Benteen was seen approaching. After Reno got to the

•hill the men supposed a t first i t was Custer coming t o their relief.

[Western Associated Press. I CHICAGO, J a n . 28.—Liet. Varnum was crosB-

examined this morning regarding t h e Custer massaore, and testified tha t t he Gray Horse cavalry which he had ment ioned m a t have seen tha t Reno's command was enter ing in to an engagement with the Indians , and Custer mus t also have known they were a t bay, and in witness' j udgment any 'careful commander would have inquired in to t h e s i t u a t i o n of the troops from which he expectecnuppor t . There was a misunders tanding between Custer and Reno previous to this t ime . The Indians were probably not less than four or five thousand strong, and half tha t force was too great for half the whole command. He thought Reno was r ight in using his own judgment in get t ing out o t the woods.

Dr. H . R. Porter, of Bismarck, act ing assist­an t surgeon under Ouster, with Reno's batal-lion, testified he heard the adju tant deliver to Reno the command to cioss the ford and then charge the Indians . The adju tant told witness Custer would support Reno. Reno obeyed the order, and the fight progressed with the Indians for a while, b u t finally the Ind ians made the charge, and not the troops, a fact which sur­prised witness.

As soon as the matriculatory contr ibution of Prussia to the empire decreased, owing to the imposit ion of new imperial taxes or any surplus in the im­perial revenues arising from a new souice of income fell t o the share of Prussia, t he class and income taxes should be remi t ted to t h a t amoun t for the year m quest ion.

THE POTTER BUSINESS.

DRUNK OB IN8ANB.

WASHINGTON, J a n . 23.—Upon the assembling of the Pot ter committee to-day Gen. B u t l e r 6aid if he made a s ta tement yesterday to the effect t ha t «£he cipher dispatches were in his possession all last summer, and tha t one t ime he missed them fiom his desk, he must have been d runk or insane. | Laughter .] What he did say yesterday was to show the impossibil i ty tha t the dispatches pr in ted in the 'Jribune came from h im.

Mr. Hisoock—Yes, I had good reason to be­lieve the telegrams were cop'ed for the Tribute before tbey came in to your hands .

Zebina Moses, clerk in the office of the sec­retary to Vice-President Ferry, remembered a burlesque certificate from Louisiana called the "Smi th certificate." I t was suppressed without objection. He did not know what became of i t ; last saw i t in the possession of the official tellers. Did not remember there had since been any application.

The commit tee then held a secret se-sion. When the doors were reopened Mr. Bat le

offered the following: Eeaolved, Tha t the committee receive from

Mr. Butler t h e cipher dispatcher which he shall present to them, and tha t the clerk be directed, in connection with some person whom Mr. But ­ler shall designate, to make a complete inven­tory of the dispatches so received, in duplicate, and certify to some one, a copy to be preserved for use of the committee, aud one given to Mr. But le r ; tha t al l the cipher dispatches so received shall be pr inted for the commit tee; t h a t unless hereafter otherwise ordered before any originals or copies are given out for p u b l i . cation, t hey shall be submit ted to an expt r t to be chosen by the committee, who shall be sworn to make a fai thful t ranscript ion of and decipher the same according to his best knowledge, skill and abil i ty, and tha t he will not allow any cipher dispatches given him to be given to any person, or given ou t for publication, nor any of the dispatches, nor any supposed transla­tion, without previous agreement obtained from the committee so to do, and he will r e tu rn to the committee all pr inted sheets and tele­grams committed to him, with such transla­t ions as he shall make, receiving from the com­mit tee such reasonable sum for his work as the committee may judge proper.

The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Reed then offered the following: WHEREAS, Mr. Hewitt , of New York, in his

place in the House, after alleging tha t Samuel J . Tilden has been charged with the cipher dis­patches, has demanded tha t Mr. Tilden have an oppor tuni ty to face his accusers before a com­petent t r ibunal , therefore,

Resolved, That a copy o t th is resolution d i ­recting this committee to investigate the cipher dispatches bo sent to Mi-. Tilden, and tha t Mr. Tilden be allowed to be represented by counsel, iu the same mawaei 'pad nuder- ibe earae l imi­tat ions as a person arraigned under the ordi­nary resolution const i tut ing th i s committee.

Mr. Ueed remarked t h i t he offered this reso­lution in good faith, and not in any part isan spir i t . The resolution was accepted.

ST. MARTIN'S CHARGES.

The chairman called St. Martin, who was ex­amined a t some length regarding his affidavit already published. The following is the most impor tan t points of the tes t imony:

Question—Your affidavit says tha t you were instructed by Mr. Stenger to report ' ' no t found" when you had any subpoenas to serve on Republican witnesses?

A.—It was not Mr. Stenger, b u t Mr. Maddox. I t was a mistake, and I altered i t as soon as I saw i t in the papers. Thisa£fida\i t v*,as made the 2d of December, and I did not alter i t un­ti l last 'week. I had not a copy of the affidavit and did not know. Mr. Stenger 's name oc­curred where i t should read Mr. Maddox.

Witness then s tated how, when acting as sergeant-at-arms fur the committee, he had re­turned twelve or thir teen subpoenas with t h e report "no t found." He did so on instruct ions from Mr. Maddox. I n all the?e cases they were witnesses who were Republicans, or witnesses whom he was unable to fix up to testify as Maddox dpsired.

On further examination upon his affidavit witness denied tha t he ever intended to refer to Mr. Stenger 's conduct, a n d . said tha t the charges therein made against tha t gent leman were un t rue . Other portions of his affidavit he confirmed.

Chairman Pot ter then cross-examined him upon the evidence tendered by witness a t New Oileans,taking the questions almost seriatim as they stood, and requesting witness to point out tho^e tha t were t rue . A great par t of his for­mer evidence was declared by St. Martin to be entirely false, and given a t the instigation of Stenger and Maddox.

This par t of the examinat ion was not con­cluded when Mr. Butler suggested the examin­ation be adjourned. The remainder of the ses­sion was secret. The committee expect to com­mence to take test imony concerning the c ipher dispatches Monday.

T. J . Coghlan, white Republican, aged 76, called. He spoke a t the Republican meet ing Oct. 12th. Had never recognized Hampton as Governor, and considered him an imbecile. After the meeting he called the Republicans together a t the court house to keep them o n t of trouble. The Democrats threatened to ki l l h im. Some "red sh i r t s " approached him, and he drew his pistol and bade them keep off. Witness corroborated the testimony of Stewart as to the election. Adjourned.

The Teller Commute".

CHARLrsTON, J a n . 23.—Before the Teller committee, J . J . Young, colored, Republican supervisor a t 32-mile bouse poll, testified tha t when the ballot-box was opened an excess of 311 ballots was found, all of which were Dem­ocratic t issue ballots. The surplus votes were drawn out, and all b u t five withdrawn were Republican votes. Witness saw only two tissue t ickets voted. Witness testified tha t t issue t ickets had been used by Republicans a t pri­mary elections in Charleston 3 ears ago.

The next witness was Sam Lee, colored, Re­publ ican from Suropter, who testified tha t early in the canvass a t a precinct meeting a t Swimming Pace, he was notified tha t no organization of the Republican party would be allowed here. Witness insisted and twenty armed men threatened to shoot h im. Witness described the interference of the Democrats with the Republican convention a t Samter , when there was a disturbance bu t nobody hur t . He next described tbe Rafting creek meeting, where the Democrats insisted on being heard, and told him if he did not call the meeting to order he would be taken back to Sumter . He was knocked down, taken in a bujrgy to Sum­ter, and told tha t if he would not promise no t to call another Republican meet ing in the county, he would be killed. At a Hampton meeting he was ill-treated for asking Gov. Hampton a question, b u t Hamp­ton rescued h im. The meeting of October 12th was described a t length, witness claiming tha t tho Democrats had cannon to in t imidate the ne­groes. One of the guns was loaded with ten-penny nails. The election was quiet , b u t there were 215 names more on the Democratic poll list than on the list witness kept . These votes, he claimed, were t issue tickets voted in large Democratic ballots. The extra names on the list ho was told were taken from the audi tor ' s books.

On cross-examination witness testified he was a candidate for Congress in opposition to the regular Republican t icket in 1874, and in the canvass had charged the Republicans with fraud and corruption and in t imida t ing colored people. Witness admi t ted he was not present a t t he meet ing Oct. 12th, and tha t loaded cannons wtxe often fired off to make a noise a t political meetings.

J . H. Stewart, colored school teacher, was called and corroborated the test imony of Lee as to the Rafting Creek meeting October 12th, and the fraudulent voting a t the election with tissue t ickets . 0 h cross-examination he ad­mi t ted tha t both he and Lee had made speeches a t Raft ing Creek wi thout in ter rupt ion, and t h a t i t was known before October 12th tha t a Democratic meet ing was to be held a t Sumter on tha t day.
