Fort Wallace, Sept. 28.—A scout
from Col. Forsyth’s camp reports that
Col. Carpenter reached Forsyth on the
morning of the 25th. Col. Bank
head’s command, which left here
with provisions, <fcc., arrived soon
alter Col. Carpenter. Col. Forsyth
lost five men killed and twelve woun
ded, and all his horses. The Indian
loss is not far from eighty killed and
wounded. The Indians—->ioux,Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes—numbered be
tween 600 aud 700, and it is estimated
they fired not less than ten thousand
rounds, besides numerous arrows,
'rhe ground is thickly strewn with
the latter. Col. Forsyth’s wounds are
.doing well. The fight on the first day
was the most terrific which has ever
taken place on the plains. The Indi
ans made charge after charge, some
times coming within fifty feet of the
men. The island in which they were
had few bushes and a small amount of
grass, and the men were almost en
tirely exposed. Their only defenses
were little sand breast works, which
were thrown up with no tools but
their hands, working between attacks
of the Indians, who rode round charg
ing down on them at some point. A
part of the men were digging while
the rest fought.
