Progress Of Gen. Gibbons Expedition.


Progress Of Gen. Gibbons Expedition.
Correspondence BozaIuan 81. T. Tnaes.l
Fort PEAsE, II. r., May 9th
Since the departure of the command
from Saltwater nothing of importance
has t~ranspired. On leaving the lat
ter place Company A was left be-
hind 10 guard stores, the train not
being of sufficient capacity to trans
pSrt the whole. The service of 25
Indians was got at the Agency, as
scouts, and we wendell our way to
our present e~ncampment, where we
arrived on the 21st ult. In all u
crossings of the Yellowstone, (eight
times we lost not a single head of
stock, and nothing else. We have
crossed it for the last time this sum-
mer; it has risen so rapidly that it
would be madness to attempt it again.
Two days after our arrival Company
ii left as escort to the supply train
to bring the stores we left at Still
water in charge of Company A.
Companies f and III, I'd Cavalry,
left on the 10Th for Fort Smith, re-
turning on the I'd, having seen no
Indians; but, strange as it may seem,
the Indians Sioux came into our
camp the subsequent eyening-3d-
within about $50 yards of the pick
cts, cut the halter straps off the In
dian ponies, and very coolly waltzed
off with the herd-35 in number
leaving our scouts without a single
head of stock. Of course they will
have to foot it until something turns
up. We are taking every precaution
for the care of our stock, as we now
are fully aware that the Sioux are in
close proximity, and from the fact
they were so successful in getting off
with the Grow herd, without even
their presence being suspected, it is
more than probable that they will
venture to get our in like manner.
Should they attempt this they will
get sorely disappointed, for our herd
is securely guarded night and day,
and especially in the day.
On the morning of the 4th the In
dams went out on foot, and proceed
ing down the river about eight miles,
discovered where their Sioux friends
crossed the stock, when they gave
up further search. Sitting Bull is
reported to have his main camp on
Powder River. The command
would like to meet him or any of his
chiefs, as We are confident we a
easily get away with them. The
mounted detachment returned this
evening from a scout of two DAYS,
but failed to discover any Indians.
Companies A and II arrived YES
terday with the transport train, from
near Saltwater, all safe.
The command leaves tomorrow
Q0th) for Powder River, E Com
pany going by small boats, which we
found on II arrival at this place.
There are five of them, probably left
by the party who vacated last winter.
On the morning of the 9th two of
our scouts went out about seven miles
from camp, on foot, and succeeded in
capturing two ponies from the Sioux.
The main camp of the Grow In
dams is at the mouth of the Big
Horn river, from whence they pro-
coed to Fort Smith in quest of buffalo.

generalship after the Corsican Cor
poral. Sitting Bull has never ac-
cepted an overture Of peace, the re.

Sitting Bull chiefs repuoiated him.
From that time he has been NAL

the Sioux nation, though he has

YANKroS, Dakota Territory,
August ll.-rleft Dubuque on Mon
day evening, stopped ,wenty-four
hours in lie Mars, and reached Yank-
ton on Wednesday evening. The
Black Hill mines are all the talk here,
and as SO many persons are now in
terestcd in that country and the ways
.ofrcachinK it, perhaps the little IN
formation which have been able to
gather during short stay in this
place may not be unwclcome to the
readers or the Telegraph. In the
6rst place the fact Of there being
large quantities Of gold in the Hills
is now too we'll established to be for
q moment doubted. A reliable gen
.,leman of this plaoe who is now in
the Deadwood country writes that
he knows Of one claim there which
has already yielded e1e4, 900, with an
expense Of only % 800, and Of, an
other claim which yielded 81 600
worth Of gold in twenty -four hours.

there would be great deal larger
emigration there. As it ID miners are
