CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Nothing new
regarding the Indian war has been
received at headquarters this MORN
ing. Officers express great salts
faction with the action of Captain
Dodge and his colored troops who
first relieved Payne. Although
under no orders to do so, he made a
perilous march through an infested
country with forty men, and forced
his way through savages into the
camp with unequalled valOr and
pluck. The Indians have n pecu-
liar hatred for those colored troops,
which the latter return with inter-
est. Gen Merritt's report is criti-
cised as giving no important facts
representing the situation on Milk
River, and being taken up with the
laudation of various subordinates,
the nature of whose services he
fails to disclose, and whom he
should at any rate commend In O
future written report. 1t is be-
lieved the consolidated command
are by this time ell route for White
River Agency. The greatest inter
est is manifested for the safety o
that post. The report that the In
dams have been killing the mer
and caring for the women is dis
credited,
