WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The fol-
lowing dispatch has been received
here and is vouched for as reliable
in every respect: "Fort Benton,
Mont, Feb. 7.-Charley Buchanan
arrived from Fort Budget last
evening with the following impor-
tant infnrn,ntion, On the 10th the
Crows and Gros Ventres at Fort
Blodgett discovered moccasin
tracks of about 100 Sioux in the
vicinity of the camp, and pieces of
tobacco tied to sticks were found
which signified that the Sioux de-
sired to smoke and to hold q coun~
Gil. The Crows and Gros Ventres,
however, considered the tobacco a
decoy and were afraid to venture
out. The following day, Major
Reed who was at the Fort, started
for his ranch, in company with
one of the Crows. When a few
miles out, they discovered a large
party of Sioux mounted
and were compelled to turn
back. That night all the Indians
camped near the Fort, tied their
horses to their lodges, but, in spite
OF this Precaution, fifty head OF
animals were stolen, evidently by
the mounted party seen the day
previous. The party on foot is sup
posed to tie still prowling near the
fort. Lame Bull, a Gros Ventre,
has gone with the Crows into the
Judith country, taking the lodges
of his own people with him, and
advising the rest to follow. A Gros
Ventre Indian came in from
Marion to-day and reported that
number of the Blackfoot
tribe recently came to his camp on
the Marian to learn how he and
his people felt about joining the
Sioux. 1t appears that the Sioux
have held q council with the Sans
Arcs at Cypress Mountains, when
the Sious stated that they wanted
to form an alliance with all the
Northern tribes to kill off the
whites, before the latter became
too numerous. The Sans Arcs
co mmunicated with the Blackfeet
and the latter sent this Indian to
negotiate with the Gros Ventres
and Piegans. Before the Gros Ven
ire Indian from whom the informa.
ton was obtained, left Marian,
a runner from the main camp on
Milk River had come in with news
to the effect that delegation oil
nine Sioux Indians had come to
camp to get Gros Ventres and AS
sinabofnes to join them-against the
whites. The Gros Ventres profess
to have threatened this party,
whereupon the latter went outside
the camp, dug hole and dared
them to come on. They say they
would have attacked them but
were afraid of the Assinabolnes.

ton and to be in correspondence
with others in New Orleans, with
the view of getting the Republicans
who went to Louisiana a year ago,
to witness the counting of the vote
indicted for unlawfully interfering
with the proceedings Of the Return
ing Board. Their object is said tc
be to foment trouble in the party
and either to drive the Admin
istration over to the Democracy
or to force 1t to recognize
and advance them. An interest
ing fact may also be mentioned
that during the debate in Execu
tive session yesterday, on the Hill
Hard case, one New England Re
publican Senator told the Demo
Gratis that he wished they would
open their ranks and take tn,
President in. The Democrat is re
ported to have replied that thei
party wanted no foundlings left a
their door.
