The Armies OF Bragg and Rosecr.u

Special Dispatch to the Louisville Journal.
WINCHRsrRR, TENN, July q.
A refugee who left Chattanooga ON
Sunday, the 10th, furnishes me the follow
ing statements:
Gen. Bragg's headquarters are at Chat
tanooga, which place is occupied by the
division of Gen. Cleburne; the other COM
mands of the army are stationed at differ
ent points along the Knoxville and West
ern and Atlantic Railroads, in supporting
distance of Chattanooga. The evening
before leaving, this gentlemen held
ienthy conversation with friend, of Gen.
Braggs staff, and was assured that dam
gerous decentralization threatened, which,
unless speedily arrested, would disintegrate
and destroy the army. The men, the Off
Ger SAID, were respondent, and unless raj
iled oy "gnal successes, would prove of no
value IN time of the army's sOrest need.
lie expressed the hope that disposition
would spring into existence among the
people to move for reconstruction of the
Union.
Bragg's chief engineer deserted and de-
livered himself yesterday to our pickets.
He is at present with Gen. Sheridan at
COwan. He confirms the statements
above, and adds that the hostility among
the troops and people to Bragg is firm and
unrelentiug. The desire for a new COM
mander is general The troops have lost
confidence in Bragg, and all look for his
early supersedure. Herepresents the peo-
pie as very short of provender, and almost
hopelessly Respondent. The fall of Vicks-
burg is the climax of this sorrow.
Gen. Hardee has been relieved from du.
ty under Bragg, and has been assigned to
the command of a corps in Johnston's ar
my. On the assignment of D. H. Hill, of
North Carolina, to the old command of
Hardee, his staff, who remained with
with their old commander.
Tennesseeans are closely watched, and
are seldom assigned to outpost duty, for
they never fail to improve an opportunity
to desert.
Our own army is at present enjoying a
delightful repose after the fatiguing march,
es from Murfreesboro. A portion of the
army is resting in the beautiful valley near
Cowan, at the foot of the Cumberland
Mountains. Gen. Thomas headquarters
are at Dechard. Gen. Rosecrans is at
Nashville.
Paymasters are enlivening the boys
with copious showers of " greenbacks."
The payment of Gen. Rousseaus division
has just been completed. Nothing as yet
has been heard from Col. Long, who was
sent to Athens after bushwhackers when
Gen. Stanley quilted Huntsville. The
result of the expedition to this place was
the capture of nearly one thousand horses
and mules, and between FIVE and six hun

The following barbarous instructions are

order:
If a man should absent himself from
home to avoid this order, burn his house
and all his other property, except such as
may be useful to the command.
If man resist this by refusing to re-
port, shoot him down and leave him dying.
If man takes refuge in his house and
offers resistance, set his house on fire, and
guard it SO that he may not get out.

THE INDIAN EXPEDITION.
LITTLE CROWS REPORTED
DEATH.
PURSUIT OF HIS BAND.
CAPT, FISK'S EXPEDITION
From Our Regular Correspondent.

To the Editor of the Pioneer:
CAMP OL1N, JAMES RIVER, d. t., /
July 81, 1868.
The Indian expedition, which so many
persons at home and with the regiments.
spoke of SO freely as a humbug, bids fair
at tie present moment to prove sue
cess. After prosperous march of five
weeks, we have at last discovered the
whereabouts of the bands of Standing Buff
talo, Little Six, Sweet Corn and Little
Grow. They are now, to the number Of
600 lodges encalnped in four localities,
within distance of fifty miles west of the
James river.
On Monday the force Of the expedition
was divided at point thirty miles east of
the James river, and the more available
half sent forward to the rapid pursuit of
the bands of Sioux. The force left be-
hind is strongly entrenched by Lake AIDE
liza, and is sufficient to withstand almost
any force that can be brought against us.
The advance marched thirty miles on
Monday, and crossed the James river
to-day.
We are now only forty miles from the
Indians, and are momentarily expecting
to me:t either friendly bands, wishing to
make treaty, or forces anxious for fight.
Unusual precautions are now taken to
guard against surprise. General Sibley,
though suffering from an injury received
last Saturday by being thrown from his
horse, and also being more afflicted by the
recent death Of his little son, is as ener-
getic and careful as ever. He is gaining
every hour in the sympathy and affections
of his men.
The reported death of Little Grow is
credited by the General, Major Brown,
and Capt Forbes, all of whom are person.
ally acquainted with him. If he is dead
it will be likely to dishearten his band
exceedingly, and may lead to their surren-
der. We shall know more about it within
forty-eight hours.
Capt. Fiske, with his escort train, is
only eighteen miles below US, having
crossed the Shayenne on Sunday last.
His course will be watched with much
interest, as he il running great risk with
80 small a force.
We were visited yesterday by band of
nearly 500 Red River Chippewa half
breeds, who are encamped near the
James river for hunting purposes. They
were escorted to headquarters, where an
address was made to the General, express
sive of good will and feeling. The Gene
raj briefly replied in French, reciprocal
ing the pleasant feeling. We passed their
camps to-day, and the line halted to give
them an opportunity to bring out some of
their goods to sell. They report the hunt
ing season very poor.
For the present then, Devils Lake and
Pembina are taboOe from our plan, and
We are now due west on our course. II the
Sioux think the gods of the mountains +"
are more advantageous friends than the
"gods of the plains" mayhap they may
give us test of courage right here on
these hills. One thing you may depend
upon, General Sibley is giving. his whole
heart to the matter, and will finish up the
work assigned him, conscientiously and
successfully. REPORTER.

AIDES. I only repeat that I have not any to send
you, and enough to form any army to threaten,
if not to capture Washington, as soon as it is
uncovered by Hooker's army. My purpose
was to show you that the force here and in
North Carolina is very small, and I may add
that the brigades are claimed as properly of
their command. Our information as to the
enemy's intentions may be more full and trust
worthy hereafter. 1t is now materially greater
than when you were here.
Very respectfully and truly, yours,
JEFF. DAVIS.
