Nfw YORK, Sept I3-A Bismarck, u. T..
dispatch OF 18th instant says: A Standing
ROCK letter dated the 18th instant ssys: An
Indian arrived last night from the hostile
camps with q message from seven of the
hostile chiefs. He Is known TO have left the
agency about three weeks ago for the hostile
camps.
LOTS OF INDIANS, PLENTY OF MEAT, AND
40 END OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION.
W bile ne does not claim TO have been with
Sltting Bull ne says he was with auoth, r
much larger camp, where the lodges aud In
clans 'oyercd all the prairie. He reports
the e Indians as abundantly supplied with
great abundance. They are also reported TO
nave more arms and ANN unition than thew
Know what 10 do with.
NARROW ESCAPE OF NILES REGIMENT
They daily watch the men who are en-.
gagged In building the new post on Tongue
river, and say al one time they could have
destroyed another body OF troops as they did
Custer and his band, but they Thought they
were going home, and for that reason did
not care TO disturb them. This is supposed
TO have been General Miles aud his reyi-
ment when they started back for the Vel
lowstoue.
THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO TREAT FOR PEACE,
and do not care 10 fight the soldiers If they
are let alOre, but IL they are not will fight
Ior years II necess AIRY. The writer says sew
eral OF the bands refused to be couoted, and
rauons were accordingly withheld from
them. One chief who submitted TO tn,
count refused to receive bis rations and scat
the count, though rot completed, will not
show more than half the number of Indians
which the agent claimed to have been issuing
TO. Though The new supplies have not
arrived full rations OF hour and half ratiOns
OF sugar. coffee, tobacco, and bacon were
issued. The correspondent claims the In
Glars received full as mpch under this issue
as they had formerly received for double the
number OF lodges. Capt Collins has been
detailed TO assist Lieut.. Roach In the count
OF refractory LODGES.
Miners Massacred
Intelligence from Fort Thompson, Dakota
dated September Sd, says sdvlces received
from Fort Pierre, and subsequently con-
drmed, report that party OF five men were
killed by Indians near the Wakapa Sica, on
their way TO The Black Hills. The massacre
TOOK place near the head of the Sica, and IL
is thought that some of the party must have
got away and penetrated the foot bills as TAR
as Crook city, from which place q force OF
nifty miners came out to open the road to
tne missouri. 1t is reported that these were
attacked and surrounded and held corralled
ON bill for q whole day, when q messenger
escaped and went to the hills for reinforce
ments. Others came out to the assistance
OF the Desfeged men, but before being able
70 cooperate with them they were attacked
and overpowered by the Indians, and al
maseacred. This is the last report, which
has not yet been confirmed, but IL seems
probable, as the Indians have recently APP
peared In large numbers from the hostile
camps In the neighborhood of the Black
dlIls, and even at the Cheyenne river
agency.
Clusters RfAe and Horse Recovered.
Gen. Clusters Remington rife and q black
horse he used TO ride at Lincoln have been
captured by some Black Killers from q
young warrior killed on the route to the
Black Hills.
