The Country Occupied BY the Hostiles.
Boise CITY, June 19.--The field
of operations is immense, affording
many avenues OF escape to the Indians,
when to holly pressed in any quarter.
From the preparations made to meet
them in Oregon, it is not likely that
they will remain long in that state.
They may be expected at any time to
recross Snake river into Idaho and re-
new their depredations in the rear Of
the troops. The indications are that
all the Indians 10 Southern Idaho and
most Of those 10 Eastern Oregon are
with the hostiles. 1t will prove diff
fcult task with any considerable body
of troops to guard against these raids
which may be made by detached bands.
