THE LOCALITY AND SITUATION.
Our dispatch above locates Blnnt's
brilliant fight at Honey Springs, small
village in the Greek country. The In
dian Territory is occupied by the Cher
okes's, Creeks and Choctaws, the
Creeks inhabiting the central strip,
from east to west A brief resume OF
the operations in this department will
be of interest.
On the 4th of July Gen. Blunt and
Staff arrived, from Fort Leavenwortb,
at Fort Scott, military post on the
Marmiton Greek or rivera small
branch of the Usage River, and eight
miles west of the Missouri State line.
He Immediately took all the available

an Territory, on the Mosho River, near
its entrance with the Arkansas River,

lips was then in imminent danger OF
being overwhelmed by vastly superi
or force. Gen. Blunt, however, by the
most extraordinary marches, hurried
on to his rescue. Their combined
forces amounted only to $500 men,
Blunt, however, is one of those infatu

was placed in the field to fight, and al
though he was attacking an enemy
Communicating him three to one, he gave
him battle aud routed him, with what
success the dispatch shows.

A REMARKABLE MKrxoR.-The Har-
risburg Union of Monday says: The
most remarkable and splendid meteor We
ever 'beheld swept across the sky at pre-
cisely eight o'clock last night. 1t was
first observed in the western sky, about
swenty degrees above the horison, whence
it swept up to the zenith and disappeared.
1t travelled in southeasterly direction
with great velocity, looking like mighty
rocket, and leaving long train of fire.
What was most remarkable about this me-
teor was the fact that its train, which was
one of splendid briliiancy, burned with
scarcely diminished light for full four
minutes, Eve timed it by the watch, }
marking its entire track AZ with molten
fire. 1t then gradually died out, assum-
ing finally the undulatiug shape of great
serpent, with its head in the zenith and
its tail on the western side of the Milky
Way.
