- ST. PAUL, Sept. II.
The campaign of the citizens against
the Northfeld bandits is still in active
prosecution. Last night the robbers
were corraled in the timber near Man
kato, not less than 400 or 500 men being
engaged in guarding every point where
it was deemed possible that an escape
could be made. At two o'clock this
morning three of the robbers appeared
at Blue Earth bridge, when the guard
took to their heels and the robbers
crossed over at daylight this morning
Pursuit was continued and the camp
hurriedly vacated by the robbers was dis
covered . In il were found the coats
and blankets of its recent occupants,
and half-cooked breakfast. The
latest intelligence is that the bandits
have been again surrounded near Min
neinata Falls, Blue Earth County, and
their capture is pronounced certain The
present scene of operations is not fifty
miles from Northfeld, and the fact that
the robbers have not escaped, or at
least succeeded in getting further away,
is undoubtedly because of lack of knowl-
edge OF the country and that they have
become bewildered The country is
heavily timbered, swampy and wild, and
difficult to travel even under favorable
circumstances. The robbers are now
without horses, blankets, or coats, ana
apparently have little to eat, save green
corn, and are altogether having rough
time of it.

Gov. Pillsbury has issued a proclama-
tion offering reward of 81 900 each for
the captureo of the bandits engaged in
the NOrthfeld affair This is in lieu of
the reward of $1,000 heretofore offered
for the capture of the entire band. The
First National Bank at Northfield has
also increased it's reward to $500 each.
The horses and saddles of the robbers
were found this afternoon in the timber
near. Cleveland. This is accepted by
some as evidence that therobbers have
escaped through the Gordon of the pur-
suers, and many of the latter are going
home. A-number remain, however, and
are still scouting the timber The Sheriff
of Faribault County reports seeing five
men near Indian Lake, three miles from
Mankato, this afternoon, who bore the
description of the robbers, and force
of men have gone in pursuit. Officials
of various railways have been notified to
be on the guard. i

CHEYENNE, Sept. Il

# D. OhEhENNE, sept. 10.
A courier from Crooks camps at
Whtewood Creek, Sept. 10, arrived at
Sage Creek tonight, and brings the fol-
lowing news Since the fighting on the
9th the command has worked its way to
the Belle Fourche, subsisting on horse
flesh and the dried meat captured from
the Sioux supplies. The march of the
18th, between Owl and Belle Fourche
Rivers, thirty odd miles, through mud
and rain, was one of the most exacting
that troops ever experienced in any
country. The weather has since been
good. New life has been infused into
the command, whose future movements
now depend on Sheridan, who has sent
for Crook to visit him at Fort Laramie at
once. Crook goes hence tomorrow fol-
lowed by his command as far as Custer
City. On the 12th Col. Upham, of the
Fifth Cavalry, made detour ON an In
dian trail down Owl River to Belle
Fourche and up to the main command
yesterday. He found the Indian trail
too old to follow further, but yesterday
they lost Private Miller, of
Company A. The Indians surprised him
while out hunting.

CHICAGO. Sept. IS.
The Times special correspondent with
Gen. Terry telegraphs under date of Fort
Buford, mouth of Yellowstone, Sth, ola
Bismarck, 14th: 1.-THE final breaking UP
of Terry's command occurred yesterday
morning, and all the troops are now eh
route home, with the exception Of two
regiments of infantry which will winter
at the mouth of Tongue River. The
Montana troops, numbering $50 infantry
and 1870 horses, and including the Seventh
Infantry and the Second Cavalry, under
Gen. Gibbon, left for Fort Ellis with a
wagon train and supplies for eighty days.
They will follow the old Stanley trail.
The route is teeming with hostiles and
420 miles long. They may encounter a
large war party in the Big Horn country.
They have been in the field since March,
and are poorly clad for the cold weather
and fierce storms which sweep over the
prairies at this season. The Twenty.
second Infantry have been left at the
mouth of Glendene Creek and COM
menced the construction of stockade
there. They will remain still till Nov.
l or later. The Seventh Cavalry has left
for Fort Buford and will move along the
north branch of the Yellowstone. After
arriving here they will go to Fort Lincoln
to winter. The Sixteenth Infantry will
remain here. Gen. Terry and staff ar
rived here this morning and will remain
a few days and then go to St. Paul ola
Bismarck. BY the 18th all troops will
have been withdrawn from the northern
country, except the Fifth and Twenty
second Cavalry, containing 400 men. A
dispatch just received from Gen. Sheri-
dan countermands the order to winter
regiment of cavalry on the Yellowstone,
which renders winter campaigning i'm
possible and indefinitely postpones the
subsection of the Sioux. Gen. Terry
leaves the field, having accomplished no
purpose of the expedition, and with one
quarter of his troops killed by bullets or
exposure. -....

Sioux CITY, Sept. 49,
The following is just received from
Fort Sully:
Heavy firing was heard on the river ten
miles below here last TuesdaySappar
emily in the direction of the Black Hills,
but no explanation of it was had till
yesterday. About ten days ago Col.
Buell., commanding at the Cheyenne
River Agency, sent some scouts out to
Gen. Terry, who failed to reach him, but
were attacked by Indians and one
wounded in the shoulder. Retreating,
they came across a large military trail,
which proved to be Gen. Crooks. On
the way the scouts saw camp of thirty
lodges near the Slim Butler, north of
Harney's Peak, and when Crook was
overtaken the scouts informed him and,
turning back his cavalry, by a rapid
march Crook surprised and killed every
one, estimated to number between 200
and 800 Indians. Not one escaped.
