date of the I'd inst. He has followed the
trail to the Little Missouri, without finding
Indians. The trail is found to split, show
ing that parties have diverged in several
directions. General Crook thinks that the
southern band may have moved backward
towards the mountains, and he is somewhat
apprehensive for his wagon train. It is ex-
pected that he will move in that direction
with his troOps,.....The navigation of the
Yellow Stone has suddenly closed by the
rapid falling OF the water, and the supplies
Tor the new post instead of being conveyed
NV OH st ha
hauled in wagons from Fl Buford. The
question of subsistence for the troops who
are to remain has become so grave that all
supplies bought up for the active column
must be devoted to the use of the Canton
ment, in order to provide against the danger
OF actual suffering. Consequently our small
army has to be sent home.
