THE S4VAGES GETTING
READY FOR BATTLE.
THE GOVERNMENT TROOPS AT 4
DECIDED DISADVANTAGE.
WHAT GENERAL SHERIDAN THINKS OF
THE SITUATION.

New York, July %. A Chicago special says
that advices at General Shcridan's headquarters
from General Crook, of the 23d inst, state that
the Indians all up in the mountains, and that
there is where all the fighting will have to be
done.
General Crook says the Indians know every
foot of those ranges, of which we are decidedly
ignorant, and can guard every pass and ambus-
cade US at every step. Having plenty of dried
meat they can make a prolonged resistance, and
can burn the forest about our ears while keeping
free from fire themselves. Their hunting parties
keep out on the buffalo ranges, adding fresh meat
to their stores every day.
The veteran officers say that it would be wise
to accept volunteer regiments if only to relieve
the LIST, 4th, 9th and 9Th cavalry, which are sta
toned in other territories when they ought to be
marched to the front to crush the Sioux at one
blow. A regular tidal wave of troops ought to
be on the march now to support the coming move
ment.
1t is hoped that our impetuous Lieutenant
General will avoid the error committed by the
government during the first few days Of the re-
bellion-the error of not sending enough men
into the field to finish the war thoroughly and at
once.
81 am astounded," says General Terry to Gen.
Crook, sat the numbers and skill of the enemy.
This command will fight to the last man, but the
officers and soldiers recognize the formidable
character Of the task before them, and are radi-
cally down on all halfway military experiments.
away in high places, General Caster will not have
died in vain"
General Sheridan looks upon the dispatches
received as "scarery" in the extreme, but says
there is reason to believe that there is any in
secure feeling among the soldiers. He thinks the
Indian war will be short, that it is not incpent
rebellion, and that it will not require the marshal
ling of the hosts of the nation to beard the Indian
in his wigwam, and he does not think it advisable
to get frightened.
General Sherldan's despatch to General Crook
Immediately after the Rosebud fight was, Hit
them again, and hit them harder" and he says he
is confident that it will be done.
Washington, July %. The following re-
ceived here to-day;
Chicago July %.
To General Sherman, Washington:
Eight Indians who were in the Custer fight
have reached the Cheyenne agency. They report
that the main body Of the Indians are in front of
Gen Crook; Gen. Terry is moving further SOUTH
1t is also reported that large numbers are coming
back to the Cheyenne and other agencies. These
Indians left the hostile camp on the 10th; they
will be retained as prisoners They report that
ten Indians belonging to the Cheyenne agency
were killed in the Custer fight. have notified

The editor of the Brunswick Telegraph dis
courses as follows of the king bird and the crow
1--WE were rather amused on Tuesday afternoon
about sunset in watching some crows around
which that little vixen the king bird was playing.
We were near the head of Maquoit Bay. and the
crows were about to fly westerly, doubtless, in
search Of roosting place. The moment a crow
started, king-bird savagely pitched into him, and
in one case three birds pursued one crow; the
crow fairly screamed every time be was hit on the
back by the sharp bills of the Birds and he finally
wheeled and returned to the tree from which he
started. Here the birds flew over and around
him, making feints, but far we could discern,
never absolutely striking him; the crow at rest ap-
peared to have some means of defence against the
vicious attacks, but in flying he is at the mercy Of
his tormentor, whose fierce temper prompts him
to pursue the crow for long series OF flights
every time the little rascal strikes he does it with
will; and we fancy that the back of a crow after
an encounter must present a rather ragged if not
bloody appearance"
