Bismarck special says the last advices by
courier arriving to-day from the expedition
are as follows: The general feeling among
both officers and men is that the campaign
has been and is likely to prove an immense

small bands making their appearance for the
purpose OF stealing or harrassing small par
ties engaged in the movement of supplies
on the Yellowstone.
The main column has not succeeded in
overtaking Sitting Bull. Orders have been
received by Terry for the establishment Of 4
cantonment at the mouth OF Tongue river
for winter quarters.
MOVEMENTS OF TERRY. AND CROOK.
WASHINGTON, September 5.-The follow
ing was received here from Sheridan:
Chicago, September 5.-To General Shes-
man: General Terry telegraphs me on the
9th Of August that the columns are
strong enough to act separately, and that the
best prospect for success was for his COM
mand to cross to the left bank
of the Yellowstone. He was to
cross near Glendine creek August
9th, and work up the dry fork Of the Mis-
souri,, while General Crook follows the trail
he is now on eastward. He does not say
whether any Of the Indians have crossed the
Yellowstone or not, but believes it best to
pursue the course indicated, as the Indians
Crook is following may cross at the lower
forks OF the Yellowstone.
