THE INDIAN OUTBREAK
Gene al Howard Heard From.
Joseph Expected TO Form Junction
with Looking Glass and White bird.
GEN. GIBBSON FOLLOWING THE HOS.
TILES RAPIDLY.

HELENA, Montana, August 8. Mr.. Mccormick
of Missouri, writes to Governor Potts, the 9th
inst: "a courier arrived from General Howard
this evening. He left Howard Saturday morn
ing last, and thinks Howard will camp near the
summit, between the Lolo and Clear Water, to-
night, distant fifty miles from the mouth of the
Lolo.
Joseph, with more than half his fighting force,
has gone to the head of Bitter Root Valley, and
will form a junction with Looking Glass and
White Bid near Ross Hole.
The courier says Howard has 80 men and $50
mnles, and is moving as rapidly as possible.
Advices from Upper Bitter Root say the Indian
camp to night is 10 Ross Hole. General Gbbon
is following them rapidly. The hostile. have
Mrs Manuel with them as the property of petty
chief called "Cucasenilo.' Her sad history IS

A Bsnnock Indian hearing that the hostiles
were approaching Fort Hale Indian agency in
Idaho, to-day shot two teamsters and fled. Mem
bers of the tribe are pursuing him. Neither of
the teamsters we're fatally wounded.
WASHINGTON, August s. Consul Tyler at Win
npeg, says that Sitting Bull aud his hostile Sioux
are near Wood mountain, numbering five thous-
and, of whom one thousand are warriors. Others
estimate them at nine thousand with eighteen
hundred warriors. They openly avow their nten-
Ton TO renew the campaign III the Yellowstone
valley and seem determined to get ammunition
even resofting to threats to obtain it.
On the 23d of June, near Sitting Bulls encamp-
ment, war party OF tventy-seven Sioux robbed
four traders Of three kegs OF powder and one k eg
of bullets.
Besides Sitting Bulls band, there is an equal
number of Sioux refugees from Minnesota mas
sacre of 1862, ami over whom Sitting Bull seems
to exercise much Influence.
