Sherman to the NeVs, dated yesterday,
says: "A private letter received here to-
day from Fort Clark dated the twentieth
instant. says that the expedition that leaves
here tomorrow has been fitting ont for a
month"
-Four companies have already started,
and three follow, including fifty Seminoles
and TOnkaway scouts, guides and inter-
prefers, who leave at three O'Clock in the
morning. No one knows the exact destina.
ton, but as the Indians are quitting Mexico
and gathering in formidable numbers on the
Pecos, it is thought the movement will be
upon the villages some 300 miles from here
The Rio Grande will have to be crossed
twice before reaching them, but it is sup
posed that the Mexican government has
consented.
The reinforcements will only follow
McKenzies trial, and will see but little of
what is going on. Mckenzie is in command.
Two companies of the Tenth Infantry
guard the trains, with thirty days rations.
The pack trains carry fifteen days rations,
in order to move over the mountains and
through the narrow defles.
