special correspondent with General Terry
telegraphs as follows from Fort Buford,
mouth Of Yellowstone, the 9Th, Uid Bis

I'D OF General Terry's command occurred
Yesterday morning. All troops are now en-
route home with the exception Of two regi-
ments OF infantry, which will winter at the
mouth Of Tongue river. The Montana
troops, numbering $50 infantry and 120
horse, and including seventy infantry and
the Second cavalry, under General 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 IS
42O miles long. They may encounter large
war party in the Big Horn country. They
have been in the field since March, and are
poorly clad for cold weather and the fierce
storms which sweep over the prairies at this
season. The Twenty-second infantry has
been left at the mouth Of Glendive creek,
and have commenced the construction Of a
stockade. They will remain till November
1st or later. The Seventh cavalry have LETT
| for Fort Buford, and will move along the
north bank Of the Yellowstone; after al
irving here they will go to Fort Lincoln to
winter. The Sixteenth infantry will re-
main here. General Terry and staff arrived
here this morning. They will remain few
DAYS, and then 60 to st. Paul. By the 18th
all the troops will have been withdrawn
from the northern country except the
Twenty-second Infantry and the Fifth cav
airy, containing 400 men.
A dispatch just received from General
Sheridan countermands the order to winter
regiment OF cavalry on the Yellowstone;
which renders winter campaign impossl-
BILE, and indefinitely postpones the sublec-
ton Of the Sioux.

hostiles, as the recent count at this agency
shows but 1900 men, women, and children
present, when there should be $4,000, and
it is quite probable that the investigation at
