This is but the beginning. The condition OF things
In this Territory, immediately under the Of the
Indian Bureau, certainly did not spr1ng up without
Its knowledge; II So the imbecility OF that fG,id
organization appears IN new and equally offensive
light we expect from time to time to produce some
peculiar documents as they come in. Authorized
persons are hunting down the scamps who have
Ieasted here at the double expense OF citizens OF
adjacent States and the national government. The
government representatives, except men OF known
integrlty Of character, nave ed and the audacioas
fellows WAC have very little less TO lose pretty
generally alarmed vigorous puriilcation Will
take place.
Several days since General Sheridan Brevet Brlca-
dler General J. w. Forsyth, Brevet Lieutenant Colo.
nes j. Schuyler Crosby and 4. W. Wler DR.. Morris
!; Asch, Captain G. W. Yates your correspondents,
Mr. Jones, Interpreter and q Pencteghka C0manche
SET out on Q hunting expedition In the Washlta
Mountains. Reaching the foot OF Mount Scott,
bold and precipitous ELEVATION about 400 feet the
party determined to scale the summit. This was no
ordinary task, and was attended with considerable
climbing trees, scrambing over aud under immense
bouders pushing the one up and the top pull
ing up the others, and resorting to variety OF ex
pedients-the summit was reached, the General,
first up
The view from the top OF Mount Scott Is vast to a
sublime degree. The ked river, nfty miles towards
the SOUTH Es discerni0e by line OF timber; the
plain TO the north and east for an equal distance
visible. Towards the west the bold ana confused
masses OF the mountains can be traced peak after
peak for distance OF forty miles.
In d previous visit with Brevet Major General
Hazen ana Major Kidd your corresponds Il named
the peak lying twenty-three degrees south OF west
distance three miles from Mount scott, Mount Sheri
dan. II Is the finest mountain in the range, the
summit standing about 1900 feet from tile base and
consisting or q comb or crest OF perpendicular
porphyrtic rock, 800 feet in height and or
half mite In length The Indians say this noun
tam Is the oldest 0f the range and the father OF
Mount Scott Mount Hazen, so named by your cor
respondent, stands still further west, and Mount
Grlerson is saddle-shaped emnence near the west
ern extremity OF the range, visible only from an eie
waited point. After descending from the mountain
our party moved towards Mount Sheridan and
pitched our tent ics near its foot The remainder OF
the afternoon was spent In turkey hunting Al
though several OF these magnificent feathered game
were taken large numbers were seen, but escaped
through the impenetrable tangled mesnes of tnorns
and wild vines. The next day, getting out early,
some deer were started but found refuge
In the thickets. Bear; panther, American lion and
wolf tracks were seen In abundance. Towards noon
we struck bee tree discovered by "old man Car,n
an Old trapper, over halfa century IN years. The
old man, with some assistance, soon feled the tree
and brought to light enormous quantities OF the de-
licious production Of the Industrious insect
On tine night OF January z7rh instant according
to our computation, from our mp In the Wtash.as.
our party Witnessed partial ecupse OF the moon
The earth'S shadow covered half oil the moon's disc
at It's fullest and entirely disappeared by eight
O'Clock and ten minutes. The eclipse was entirely
unexpected, and at rst the shadow was taken to be
mist obscuring the moons face; but after dark the
sky became perfectly clear, leaving doubt OF the
shadow being tnat OF the earth.
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival OF the In.
dian5, the consummation or the war, and q speedy.
return to the region OF railroads and civilization.
