 New York, January 13-The Her. al1 under late of Pine Ridge, prints 8 dispatch from BuffsoyBill in reply 10 I request for an opinion OF the Iadih Q situation. He ssys:
 "I.disn history furnishes DO similar i 5tuatIUu. You might imagine 5000 lpdi4Es better armed than ever before, as mmed in s cordon about 16 mIies ip diameter, composed of over three thou sand troops, acting as slowly closing drag ct, The Indians are now ibhu- suced by large ger centsge as despa- | ringly despersts and fsnatIcal as the l.te Big Foot party. It contains also restrained U, utrAls, frigi tened and dis
 .ffected, the Ogallslas hampersd by the | powerful Brules, and backed by rene
 sades and Gespersdoes from all the eth | ST agencies.
 "There are about 2500 acting and believed to be friendly Indians in and around the sgeicy. Such a situation Genera Miles and the military confront Any one of this undiscIpiined mss IS able to preciLitste terrible cprflIct, from the most unexpected quarter. In fsct 1t is a war with the most wiley sav- ages, and vet the whites are ibhueucsd | by humane, peaceful desire Q prevent biOOdshe1 and save th"se people from themselv=s. Ordinary warfare shove no pa allel.
 "G-Uer4l Mics st ems to holi a firm ! grip on the situation. Ire Indians ex press confidence iu hia honor and jus tice to them and they fear bis power. | As the matter now stands he and they should be allowed uutrammeled 10 sst- tle the question, as DO one net on the spot can appreciate the position. Al th's moment ss far as words go there will D. peace, but smOulderiDg spark is visible that may precipitste terrible | cUuhlct ally time iu il @ next few days ! However, more attention should be paid

 alteration should also be shown for the

 ep,i0n of 6 lot of squsws, made F
 unv1 toward coming iutH the agenc, Shortly afterwHrd, however, the mail,

 Tie announcement of their arrivsl can. ed great cNmmo;ion ia the friend lies camp. Within short time hun dre6s of squaws and children gatbe red 10 the vicIuity of the Leadquarte rs, Rhel ca view of the bluffs beyond, ou wbich the hostilss We're statiOred, could ba obtained They waited until dusk for ibeir friends and relatives to come ia, but were disappointed, as those cut side remained in c~mp there.
 Tonight there is no certainty ss tG what the Indians will do. General Miles himself is in doubt as to what to expect of them, but confidently looks for settlement of ths matter without further blOodshed. In fact he sent 'etter tonight to Generals Cody and Colb:, commanding the Nebrssks state militia, informing them that aii the hostiles gre near the sgsLcS, and notb ing but an accident can prevent the re- establishment of peace. He states also that Le thinks the state troops may now withdraw safely ,sn0 thst ks them for the confidence they hs,s sfforded the peO- pie in frontier homes.
 Yet the Indians may get to witLlD gunshot of tbe agency and then brs k away again, thug precipita,ing a con- flict. Fear of all kinds of punishment seems to have taken possession of them, and it IS generally understood that one iniudicious act on the par: of the sol diery or a mad deed of some implacabl~ hostile would undo all the work done.
 Lieutenant Taylor, of the Ninth, hos gone ont with some of hIs scouts iD order to lead the Indians to the places designated tor them on the agency The Osallaies will b, placed near Red Clouds house on the west, while tb- Brules will b. sent to the eastern side
