for our government to take decided
step with these Indians.
There is, as your correspondent has
learned, from reliable authority, every
prospect of a campaign for the troops in

been consulted by the. leading represen-
tatives of different tribes now allied with
the Sioux, relative to the advisability of

ing, with hostilities going on in their i'm.
mediate vicinity-and the settlers will
also experience many disadvantages by
hostilities. For these and numerous
other reasons, 1t is to be hoped that the
war department will give to General
Nelson A. Miles, full command and au-
thority Of judgment and discretion for
the coming summer movements of troops
in pursuit of hosti:es in these parts, and
as far as the boundary line. The surren-
der of certain of Sitting Bulls Sioux to
General Miles, some few days since, must
be looked at in a different view to an or
binary surrender, the surrender of these
hostiles, have no doubt, been miscon-
strued by many, and the whole intention
of these hostiles may be placed in a nut
shell, viz: owing to their starvation the
past winter, their lack Of stock, they
have surrendered with view of finding
out all possible information concerning
the movement Of troops, ETC., and even
tually endcavor to stampede the whole
Cheyenne herd, thereby enabling them
(should it prove a success) to mount
numerous portion of the Sioux.
There seems to those, who claim to
know, that final settlement with the
hostiles is not far distant, they may sur
render peacefully, or they may with the
dissatisfied Utes endeavor to concentrate
in the Wind River country, and make
severe and energetic fight for liberty
Should this be done. General Miles with
full power Of authority, is the right man
for the emergency. eEQUAK.
