marching and severe skirmishing, has de-
stroyed Chief Joseph's camp. Judging

river and returned their fire. One artillery
man was wounded. Capt. Whipple's cav
airy company was ambuscaded, but with
drew unhurt. The Indians have gone to
Lalo pass, leading into the buffalo country.
Joseph's band is led by Tahoohlooskuto, a
Slate creek chief with a very bad record.
He is now at bay, without the means Of
cooking food. If he holds the pass for a
few hours he will be entrapped, as so Ida
ho volunteers are coming down the noun
tain to join in the pursuit.
