Fish arc plenty, but, belng mickers, the baited hook has no temptations for them. Gon. Crook shot quite a number, and his example was followed by oth- ers, A party of miners who aro” with us report that they found good pros- peets on this streamn. Two Wwhite mon reported to Gen. Crook this cvening, representing that they belong to 0 party of 60 miriers who are on thofr way from the Black Hills to the Big llorn Mounfams, having given up the former **gold-Nlolda ' as worthlesa.” We passed through a camp of G miners the other day, who left a written paper amllnfi that they wero en route from Montana to the Black Hills, 8o honors ary casy between the two mining dis- tricts. ‘Tho two who came into camp reported 1o the Goueral that they lad scen uo Indlany, but had erossed lrgo numbers of pony tralls, atl had no lodge-poles with theni, and it 1s thought that they are polng to {nterview Col.

June 5.~Marched to OLD FONT PUIL REARNEY to<lay,—a_ post admirably situated to be har- rnseedd by Indians, as it can be approsched on nlinost any slde, under good cover, to within casy rific-range. There s perhiaps no militas post In the countrywest of the Missour] arouni whose short but cvantful history more tales of bluod congregate ln crimson clustersthan around this.

Their bodles lie buried In o trench In the wo-yard, nnd over the remains of our gallant and unfor- tunato comrades rise the ruins of a brick pillar, half-destroyed by the ACCUNSED IIANDS OF TIETR MURDERRRS, who are too utterly lost to all the attributes of lumanity to respéet the corpse of a brave foe. Now that tho _Government, through the Quar- termnster's Department of the army, has Natlonal Cemeterics whereln are buried the re- mains of soldlerswho died Inthe service, whether by disease or the bullet, would {t not bo a. flmngi mark of respect to the memory of the departed hrave, to resiove their bonea to somo titting place, where the cayotes do not delve, and tho wild red man cannot cast ‘mntnmel; g‘pnn his dend enciny.

This aftornovn « hunting party discovered tho teall of five In- dians crossing the river ahove the camp, and olng In o southensterly direction. A party of Troop, Second Cavalry, “got' o poiy from this party, which they triumnphantly von- ducted to cawip. Just before retreat, quito a little excltement was produiced In camp by the report that large numbers of Indians ‘ere seen cumln;f up the river, A flcld-&:lnls exposed the cheat, however, it being found that the supposed wnr~rnrtlul wera sitoply clumps of bushes. The origfuators of the report wore tharoughly laughed “at, and qulet and monolnn; were ngain restored, - To-night, Capt, Dewees, with a traap, Becond Cavalry, wus gent over the river and ambuscad- cd, in order to capture any Indians of a conver- sational turn of mind that might approach, At about 9:30, wlen everybody had turned In, or was just about to, three shots were heard from over the river, aud we all turncd out to sco the firoworks and liear the serenaito. Sonething being tho matter with tho m-vhmr:l tho cole- bratfon was postponed. We walted balf anhour patiently, but all remalned quiet.

The moxt-{;encmll accepted apinlon appears to be, that all the Indians have left this part of the country, and are now on the Ycllowstone, watching Gibbon, and skirmishing after Terry: Supporters of this theory base thelr opinjon mainly on the fact that we huve not been mo- lested; that monc of our camps have been fired Into; nnd that our column, starting from Fetterman so long after = Glbbon® and Terry had taken the fleld, con- centrated the vigllance ot the savages on them alone, and consequently they are not yetaware of our Mvasion of thelr country,— wrhich, by the wny, ls not thelr country, but # Absaroka," or the country of the Crows, trom which tribe the Sloux bave taken ft. At last they have como. At abont half-pnst 6 this evening the Infantry-plcket on the heights across Prairic-Dop Creek was seen to manifest considerable emutlon, displaying it by Aring his ploce, and running around in a clrelo in the ap- proved monner always practiced when Indlans aro seen approaching, ‘e had not thne to even express and forin an opinfon 18 to what.was the nattor with the picket when s IATTLING VOLLEY WAS FIRED INTO THE CAMF from the heights on the other eide of Tongue River, and & nuinber of Indians were scon riun- ning about the ureat of the clifl, firing thelr breoch-londers and making themsolves cspecially unpleasant and remarkahly nolsy, while ono who appeared to be princlpal musician Jn the serenade kept galloping l:lp and down as though o had lost soniething und was In a great burry to find it. Tho packera and teamsters, of course, opened o perfect fuslllade_on the rocks and crevices across tbe rivar, laying s frat-closs foundatfon for o lcad-mine in the faco of the cllflf ; while tho soldlers got thelr arms ond quictly awalted events, not belng allowed to firo by thelr officers, as tho distance was toogreat to make It offective.

A battallon of the Third Cavalry, consisting of M, E, I, and A troops of thal regiment, and sccompanied by Capts, Mills, Su- torfus, and Androws, and’ Licuts, Lawson, Paul Schwatka, and Foster, was desiznated for this duty, ‘Thoy saddled up promptly, and, rling siralzht for the river, crossed Itand goined s grove of heavy timber, Ioro they dls- mounted, and, leaving thelr horses, pushed up the ¢lift on foot, doploved as skimlshers—M on theright, I on tho lett, A right centre, and E Ieft centro,—Capt, Mills commanding the battalion.
