Intelligence by way of Bismark, is
that on the 3lst of August Crook was
near Glendive, south of Yellow Stone,
en- route to Glendive for supplies. Terry
was on the north side of Yellow Stone,
fifteen miles below the Glendive making
toward the Missouri river. Eight miles
below him the Josephine saw large
fresh trail leading north, which Terry
should have struck September LIST. The
Josephine reported thirty inches of wat
er in Yellow Stone on the 30tb, with
fifteen inches on the rapids which she
passed over at that stage. The Far
West is above the rapids and will winter
on the Yellow Stone.

take the Indians, for the Indians don't
want to fight unless they can have their
time and place for it. tits now likely that
the present campaign will soon end in
gloriously for our troops, as the season
is now getting so far advanced that our
soldiers cannot follow the Indians uuch
longer; it is hardly probable that there
will be any more fighting this season.
