Blizzard which ragged Yesterday with
such vehemence, covered the buttes
with light crystals, which sparkled
like gems in the bright sunshine this
morning, The camp was early sstlr.
Everybo ly seemed to feel that within
twenty-four hours the crisis of the war
would be reached. Before the stars
had disappeared before the morning
light, sentinels of the 1st Regiment
couli be seen, muffied up in their cam

rails and the earthworks which have
been thrown up to the north and east;

be seen galloping down the sides OF
the Duties to the north OF Capt.

almost opposite the earthworks. Then

snow and raised their rifles. The

stop and gave signal of peace. They
had no weapons, and were permitted
to pass the line and enter the agency.
