Major Baleombe.s Trip.

The Omaha Republican gives the
following extracts from a private letter
of Major St. A. D.. Balcombe, our
Deputy U. S. Marshal, in that city:

lam having an old fashioned Indian
country trip-only a little more so-for
I came from Medicine Bow on the
Union Pacific road over the mountains
and saw a good many antelope, deer,
mountain sheep, and two black bears,
ETC., but no civilized people except one
degenerate white man at the halfway
sshole in the ground, - like unto the one
between our Crow creek agency and
Fort Randall, and he was minus the
squaw, and as l had not lost any Indians
I did not find any, although very liable
to be found by them while in the wilder
ness. / am within 100 miles of Gen.
Crooks camp, and it is understood here
that there will be a bloody fight up
there within the next ten days, with
the advantages largely in favor Of the
Indians, who are better armed than our
soldiers, and number about four times
as many as our force Gen. Crooks
superiority Of generalship is all we have
to depend upon for a victory, and while
he is just as brave a general as Custer,
he is at the same time, more cautious,
and will not allow his command to get
into a fix where it cannot be retired in
good order.

A Balmy Black Hills Breeze.

J. II. Triggs, of this city, who is now
in the Black Hills, writes to his wife as
follows: 90 u cI4
1--WE arrived here on the 14th of July,
and find between 5 1000 and 1000 men
in this gulch. Saw Florrman clean up
twelve ounces of gold yesterday from
one days work OF five men. He paid
So, 600 for his claim, and Il. pays from
$50 to 800 per man q day. There is
now over $780, 00. in gold d1gt here
awaiting shipment, and ! saw 92oQ, 600
in one large safe.a There is no hufnbu
in there being gold here; and no part>Qf
the Black Hills has been exaggerated
except the gold at Custer, and gold is
there, but not in quantities as told.
Spring creek is the finest valley I ever
saw, and rich in gold. Gen. Custer,
Prof. Jenney, and every man who has
tried to describe this country, has been
thought luny; but we have now trav-
eled 100 miles through the Hills, and !
win say that my faith in the beauty of
this country was very strong, but can
didly I had not the slightest conception
Of the truth. Suffice it to say that
the whole of the Black Hills is the most
lovely, rich and beautiful country my
eyes ever beheld. You can never form
any idea of it until you have seen it for
yOurself.n L0F /4HqT7~

The Indians are fond Of distinction,

young warriors to become soldiers of
the United States. They were to re-

to assist theIarms of the United States
whenever called upon. Certificates of
enlistment were issued to them,
by which their natural pride was graft

became fast friends Of the United

IerTys Troops ~ Good SPu1ts and Eager

mznd.
Gen Forsythe, of Gen. sheridanss
STAFF, passed through s.. Paul Wednes-
day, having left Terry's command at
the mouth OF the Rosebud, a week
ago last Tuesday. In conversation with
army officers, while there, Gen. Forsythe
corrected several statements
recently t~elegraphed from Bismark-
1t was stated that Gen. Terry had
fallen back 90 miles, which is the mer-
est nonsense and gives . false impress
sion to the public. There was no fall
ing back at all. The evening before
Gen. Forsythe left Gen. Terry, . scout
from Gen. Crooks command hadreach-
ed Gen. Terry. Gen. Crook WAS then
somewhere near thsshead waters Of the
Rosebud river, or between that and
Tongue river Now at this time Gen.
Terry was at the mouth of the Big
Horn river, and in order to make COM
munication between himself and Gen.
Crook easier, he dropped down the river
to the mouth of the Rosebud, between
which point and Gen. Crooks command
the distance was no greater than from
the mouth of the Big Horn, while the
country to be traversed was infinitely
more favorable for the march of troops.
Besides, the scout alluded to furnished
the news that Indian trails had been
found leading to the east between Gen
Crook and the Yellowstone, and the
junction of Generals Terry and Crook
at a point further east than the Big
Horn was likely to prevent the escape
of Indians to the east and north of the
present scene If operations.
Another mis-statement found is to
the effect that the troops under Gen.
Terry are disheartcned at the prospect
before them. Col. Smith, who accom-
panied Gen. Forsythe, contradicts this
baseless story and says that on the con-
trary, Gen. Terry and his men are in
the best possible spirits, and are only
too anxious to meet the horde of saya-
ges in a fair and square fight. There is
no fear as to the result.
The Indians as far as could be learn
ed, were still supposed to be massed
somewhere between the Rosebud river
and the Big Horn. The impression
prevailed that one of two alternatives
was left them. Either to scatter to the

Among hi passengers who went
through this city. on the east bound
overland emigrant train, yesterday,
were q man and woman whose appear
ance denoted that their lives had been
clouded by deep SORROWS and that they
had witnessed and experienced the
hardships and dangers which beset
jewellers on the frontier. The mans
face was a network of scars, his once
erect and stalwart frame had been de-
formed, one leg vas twisted out Of
shape, and both ears were missing. One
half Of his nose appeared to be strug-
Cling for a resting place on his eyebrow,
while the other half was twisted down
toward the corner Of his mouth. His
head was almost destitute of hair, and
the small amount remaining thereon
was distributed around the scalp in
oddly shaped punches. One hand, in
place of thumb and fingers, had only a
short stump in the place where the
thumb should be, and the mutilated
member resembled the surface Of a
huge scar. The other hand possessed
only the stump of the index finger and
a portion Of the little finger, and was
but an ugly shaped mass Of flesh and
bone. The woman's ears had been
slit after the manner of certain cattle
brands, her nose showed that it had
once been punctured for the admission
Of a ring, one eye was sightless, and
she had neither eyebrows or hair. Two
fingers were missing from each hand,
and her left hand was bent backward
half way to the wrist. A reporter, at.
tracted by the pathetically oddappear-
ance of these travellers, approached
them and with some difficulty engaged
the man in conversation. q

No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide Of destiny.
What matter If stand alone

Ny heart shall reap where Il has sown,
And garner up its fruit Of tears.
