before the middle of the month There already
encamped in the Valley of White River
5000 Indians and 5000 expected.
Eight thousand of those now present from
agencies on the Missouri River Tho remainder are of
the Bru6 Ogallaa, Uncappa, Mnneconjo and bands of
tho Sioux Nation The Brul6s have been DESTROYS that
the Great Counsel should meet their agency on
Shadron Crock but has been determined by the Com

Major Howard yesterday ordered by the Com
missloncrs TO bring the band in his charge to
out for that purpose to-day. The banks of
the streams lined with Indians. Viii

trails from the northwest leading toward this point
The present feeling of the Commissioners is that the
pow-wow will result satisfactorily, but the uncertainty
in regard to the result is really very great

French Greek, in the Black Hills, on Sep

distance of $50 miles, in two days and a half
accompanied by Major A. s. Burt and three cavalry
men. with two pack mules. The country traversed
was full of fires and Indian trails in dangerous prox-
unity the route indicating the passage OF large num-
bers ofsavages southwest from the Powder River country
Large parties still their way to the White River
All the Indians met seemed deeply interested in the
council expressing themselves by the sign language
The council will last several days and perhaps weeks
