EASTERN DISPATCHES.

NEW York, July %. - A Tribune
Washington special says that several
Western Senators and Delegates have
urged upon the President the necessity
of requesting Congress to grant authority
for the acceptance of volunteers to sup
press the hostile Sioux. The President
very positively refused to do SO on the
ground that he does fot need them. The
only proposition of the kind that meets
with his favorable consideration, is one
20 allow him TO recruit regular regiments
and companies now on hostile ground to
their full strength with volunteers who
VIII enlist therein, to serve six months
or during tho continuance of the war
These, be thinks, would make effective
soldiers, but new organizations. be be-
lleves, cOuld not be made s+rviceable in
time. III this opinion, the President is
supported by Generals Sherman and
Sheridan, both of whom claim that the
regular troops are sufficient to cope with
the hostile Sioux, though both would be
willing to accept six months' recruits
from the froLtier to fill up the companies
II Congress would so authorize.
Among others, the Governor of Mon
tana, who was one of Shermau's Gener-
ais during the war, offered to raise one
thousand msn and take them into the
field for operations against the Sioux, or
for the defense of the settlements of that
Territory, urging there is danger that the
Sioux will break up into small bands and
make raids for supplies, and for diver
sion, and that also IN case of disaster to
the regular troops, there would be moth
ing to keep the Sioux from crushing out
the Montana settlements and clearln
the country to the Columbia River.
Sherman declined the offer Of volunteers
but advised the Governor to organize
military force for emergencies. The
President and military authorities desire
il poss BILE to contine the expenses of this
war within the regular army appropri-
alton. or at least to cOnfine any extra
cost to the item of transportation, so
that otherwise the Government shall not
expend single dollar II ore than if the
troops were In garrison.
