Battle of Long Island.
Yesterday was the one hundredth an
niyersaryof the Battle of Long Island.
There was no public observance of the
event, though many OF the clergymen in
Brooklyn and vicinity made it the theme
of their discourse.
The Herald,
editorially referring TO the Sioux war,
says the campaign has virtually ended,
and the United States. as usual, has had
the worst Of it.

Probably there will be another massa-

two months OF Intellectual marching, and
another disgraceful retreat to winter
quarters in September.
The Herald does not attribute this
failure to the army, but to the blunders
of the Government. 1t says, if the pres
ent policy is continued the disgracelul
experiment Of this summer will only be
repeated i'll the next campaign. 1t ad-
vocates placing the Indians under
charge Of the War Department. to deal
justly with them, 10 protect them from
agents, and punish them when they rise
against the laws; and says tlis is the
only Wag TO settle the Indian question
forever.

CHICAGO, August ga gentleman
ust down from Winnepega says that a
prominent fur dealer OF that city has
just closed contract with Sitting Bull
for twenty-five thousand pounds Of rifle
powder, to be delivered in five pound
packages, to be paid in furs during the
coming winter. This seems TO indicate
that Sitting Bull cOntemplates an ag-
gressiye spring campaign.
70 confirm this idea it is rumOred that
three thousand braves have been de.
tailed by Sitting Bull TO hunt buffalo in
the Far West for a supply of provisions.
Messrs. Boone, Gaylord and Hendley,
of the Sioux Commissioners, lett this
city to-day Tor Omaha, where they will
Join the other Commissioners. They
have purchased here large lot of cloth
ing and fancy articles to use for presents
to the Red Skins.
These gentlemen are strongly in favor
of the peace policy, and believe that a
resort 70 arms with any Of the bands eX-
cept that Of Sitting Bull would be a
great mistake; they also think the Gov
ernment erred in permitting the object
of the Commission TO be made public
through the press. If the Commission
had been appointed and its members al
lowed to proceed quietly to the Indian
agencies before the Indian themselves
were apprised Of their coming, they
would have been able TO accomplish a
great deal more.
Now that the nature Of their mission
is no longer q secret, by the time the
Commissioners reach the scene of the
grand council, the Indians will have had
their minds poisoned against the policy
and he prepared to exact the most eX-
orbiLant and unreasonable demands in
the matter OF compensation tor their
lands, which they are asked to relin-
uuish,
