murder Of American citizens. 1t is under
stood, that oLe thousand two hundred Of he
troops are TO he stationed at Fort Laramie;
eight hundred at Fort Keagney; six hundred
at Fort Riley, and one thousand FIVE hund :
red on the Upper Missouri With o view to
the sustaining of so large military force,
the proper officers have been directed to
purchase a years supply Of provisions, and
everything necessary for the expedition.
Everything inlicates an active Summer
campaign, and the Indians will, 1t is proba-
bic, get erough Of fighting and piliaging be-
fore the year is over.
Gen. lIarney is to have command Of this
expedition. lie was at Washington on the

mand assigned him. 1he fitting out Of so
large a military command for such length
