ST. PAUL, August 8.-A Bismarck
special of to-day, to the Pioneer Press
and Tribune, says: The steamer Car
roll arrived this morning from General
Terry's camp, having on board General
Forsyth end twenty sick and wounded
soldiers. The Carroll, on her way up,
when near the mouth Of Powder river,
found the Indians on both sides of the
river and for two hours and half they
kept up running fire on the boat, only
wOunding, however, one soldier slightly.
The steamer Far West, after leaving Bu-
ford or Terry's camp, found her load
too heavy and discharged part Of her
cargo, principally grsin, about seventy
five miles above Buford. On her return
for the balance OF the cargo the Indians
were found to have destroyed most of the
grain at this point. The Indians at

Colonel Moore with three companies of
soldiers. The Indians stood on both
banks of the river, and with oaths dared
Colonel Moore with his troops to leave
the boat and land. A few shells were
fired from twelve FOUNDER, which scat
tered the Indians, and they disappeared
from the south bank. Dave Campbell,
ilot of the Far West, with two Rec
scouts, then landed and went out to re-
connoiter, but found that the Indians
were endeavoring to cut them off from
the boat. They turned their horses
heads and started as fast as possible for
the boat, Seven Sioux had circled so as
to intercept them, and it became q race
for dear life. Tine horse of one of the
scouts began to fall behind, and was
soon shot, The scout started on foot,
but it was no use. The same Sioux who
had killed his horse soon reached him
ard put q bullet through his lungs.
Dave Campbell heard the shot, aud,
looking behind, saw the wounded scout
lying on the ground, and said to the
other scout with him, "We must go
back and get that man." although it
was as much as their lives were worth.
They turned, and as they did 80 they
