CAMP CUsrER's EXPEDITION,
Near Fr. A. LINCOLN, July i, 1874.
Special Correspondence Bismarck Tribune.
DELAY. .ss.
The new arms arrived yesterday, and
were issued to-day; tomorrow we shall
break camp and take up our line Of
march for the Black Hills. The delay
Of week or more, caused by the nom
arrival of the new arm, has been decid-
edly irksome to to the civilians invited
to accompany the expedition; but Gen.
Custer's hospitality has been boundless
and the officers and ladies Of the COM
mand have wed with each other in at
tentions to the ''guests of the expedi-
tion" for so the scientific corps must
be regarded, as they go on the invita-
tion of the commanding officer, and
without pay from the Government.
CORRESPONDENTS.
The newspaper corps, consisting of
gentlemen representing the New York
Tribune, Chicago Inter- Ocean, St. Paul
Press, St.. Paul Pioneer and the Bis
marck TRIBUNE, have enjoyed them
selves hugely, and anticipate no small
amount Of excitement while on the trip,
and as newspaper men love excitement
as duck loves water, they are reason
ably happy. Fa
--..... AN AMATEUR SCARE.
In addition to the scouts to accompa-
ny the expedition. mentioned in my last
letter, twenty-five Santees have arrived
and will 60 with us. They are fine
looking set of fellows, and are good
deal more than half civilized. Sunday
the Indians from the Fort were wander
ing over the country, and succeeded in
getting up an amateur Indian scare,
which of course appeared to be big
thing in print, when telegraphed east.
If mistake not, so soon as the cavalry
is gone Fort Lincoln may anticipate
genuine scares, for wandering bands of
Sioux will surely come down to steal
stock, and make trouble in other re-
spects. ......, . a... ..1 ..... ..- ss.. i. /.
A WAR DANCE.
As the good man is taught to pray be.
fore entering on any great and import
ant undertaking; the Indian is taught
to dance. And as we were expecting to
move to-day the scouts had big war
dance last night. They made the night
hideous with their yells. Imagine ye
noble reds dressed only in war paint,
feathers and breech clouts. A score or
more braves gather, accompanied by
their wives, children and sweethearts,
and the disturbance begins. Knives,
tomahawks, clubs, swords, pistols, or
whatever they fancy for the purpose,
are swung high in air, and crouching,
cringing, springing, weaving, lodging
hither and thither, their movements
are accompanied by those thrilling yel]s
which have stricken terror TO so many
hearts. t....... .I.....r.

Under this head the Eureka Sentinel
very plnmpiy says:
Th-re is good deal OF tvadjile in the
Carson IijJg:Rc and Reno crescent OF late
a.hoU; the independence Of the tanners.
WHY all this affection for the agr;cu!tur-
lists Of the State? In what way have
they ever been oppressed? Who IS it,
or what party IS it. that has betrayed
lLein? We admit that they are q very
worthy, industrious class Of people. bus
if they are entitled to any mere corsid-
Grafton than any other equal number OF
citizens, we have failed TO observe it.
The truth is, that by means Of the high
freishts that lave been maintained by
the railroad, they are the only class il
the whole State whose interest has been
protected. No intelligent farmer who
has hay or grain or -four to sell VII OBJ

facts which gives him the best home

miners and other classes Of business

against the monopoly, but not the farmer.
/. IS the mining Interest Ct TIE State
which languishes for the want of cheap
transportation, and It ID to this interest
that We mast look for the accomplish
Inent OF those wholesome reforms in

will demand in thunder tones at tie ap.
rroachiry election. Fit, would do
well 10 ':car il mind that there are &
Few people in this State who are engaged
IN other pursuits than that OF raising

And it may be added that all Men, of
whatever profession who have TO do
with the formation of public opinion,
had better be engaged in something else
than encouraging the partition Of classes
as if ono sort were better entitled TO
special attention on account Of calling
or nationality than another.
