AN APOLOGY.

We owe Col. Sanders an apology. As
sured that that offensive, personal Herald
article upon the CoURIER's North and
South Railroad course was from the pen
of Col. Sanders. We replied as personally
in Nos. 20 and 81 of the COURIER. The
writer is an admirer of Col. Sanders-he
has the honor to appreciate his ability,
and does himself the credit of thinking
that gentleman has been shabbily treated
by the Republican party of Montana.
He was loath to credit said article to Col {.

We are now assured, by letter received
the day Col. Sanders left here, that Cor.
nelius Hedges wrote the article, and we
desire to call his attention to the fact that
he has, to date, not seen fit to admit it and
relieve Col. Sanders of the imputations
brought upon him by our stated rejoinders

came struggling into the Agency said tina,
Crazy Horse was coming 10 to surrender.
Crazy Horse has been moving very
slowly, and as Gen. Crook had not hard

matter of his surrender settled, in order
that he might know what to do. aud
whether he would have to detail a force

there are three traders there, from whom
the hostllcs can buy oil the ammunition
they can pay for. Here these Indians are
buying openly, within two days march
of the most important military post on

that he learned from them that they in :
tend returning very soon to the seat of
war on the Yellowstone, and expect to
cross the Missouri at some poiat below
Fort Buford. By doing this they expec.
to avoid the difficulty of crossing the
Yellowstone, which they would have to
