through n citizen named Duffey. who
left the command on Thursday morn
ing, that ever since Gen. Merritt reach

fighting the Indians. The savages
seem determined to keep the troops
from reaching the Agency. and have
fortified themselves on n commanding
position. They have constructed the
line Of Notifications out Of rocks. and
are continually at work strengthening
their position, aud to dislodge them
will require an additional force.
Col. Blackett, Of the Third Cavalry,
with detachment Of six companies of
cavalry and two OF infantry, will leave
for the front on Monday. Horses to
remount the dismounted men OF Capt.
Payne's command will be sent forward
tomorrow.
General Sherman says he has no off,
