GENERAL SHERIDAN'S ANNUAL
REPORT.
Account Of the Military Forces.

New YORK, October 30. The annual re-
port of Gen. Sheridan shows the force in the
Department of Dakota Platte, Missouri and
Texas, is 1857. He highly commends
Miles expedition, and recommends the es-
Enlistment of another post between Forts
Buford and Assinaboine, next summer, to
prevent the Indians north of the boundary
line from moving south as well as to protect
settlers on the line of the Northern Pacific
Railroad. He regrets there was not an over
whelming force at Camp Robinson, which
would have prevented the occurrence there,
and that the most guilty of the Northern
Cheyennes who escaped some time since,
have not been punished.
The invasion of the Indian Territory, De-
partment of Missouri, by Squatters, is stop
ped, and the prospect is fair that Victoria
and his Indian dcpredators will be soon dis
armed.
The Ute outbreak, he says, was brought
about by Meeker wishing the Indians to en-
gage in farming to which the hOsties have a
dislike
He says a large force of soldiers is now at
White River and Smiths Valley. Adams is
negotiating with the Mexican government,
acting with Gen. Ord, who has nearly sup
pressed the Indian border raid.
He asks that Fort Stanton Indian reserva-
ton be placed under Mexican control, as
most of the raiders proceed from there. He
thinks the extension of the railroad, and con-
tnuation of settlement of the Ute Territory
will prevent a great Indian war, together
with the rapid disappearance of game, but
advises a larger military force at the agencies
and that Congress increase their beef rations.
All the officers of the department have done
their duty faithfully and well.
