Croox's ExpepiTION, CAMP ON GOOSE CreeE, July 12, via Fort Fetterman, July 15— Since Crook’s Rosebud fight our command has been waiting for supplies. They will arrive to- day, and an advance will be made probably to combine with Gen. Terry, now in camp at Fort Pease, on the Yellowstone. To-day privates Evans, Stewart, and Bell, fof Capt. Clifford’s company, Seventh Infantry, came in, bringing dispatches from Terry, which confirm the hor- rible massacre of Custer’s command. Gen. Terry has proposed co-operation, waiving his rights as senfor officer, and it is supposed that our line of march will be to old Fort C.F. Smith, or across the headwaters of the Rose-. bud, thence to the Little Big Horn, thus placing the two commands in easy co-operative distance. The daring feat performed by Bell, Evans, and Stewart, was made after repeated trials by citi- zens, half-breeds, and Indians. 3 ‘Washakie, with over 200 Shoshones, joined us yesterday, crossing the Big Horn Mountains from Wind River Valley. Dissatisfaction hss been expressed with Gen. Crook’s retiring from Rosebud-| after his fight. It must now be acknowledged that the judgment was correct. He sald we are strong enough to whip these fel- lows, but not on their own terms. Lieut. Sib- ley, Mr. Finerty, of the Chicago Zimes, and Frank Groard, with twenty men of the Sccond cavalry, left’ last week on a8’ scout to They returned on Sunday afoot, starving, and some of the party delirious frum privations. The Sioux discovercd and ran them into the mountains. They escaped by abandoning their horses in the timber for the Sioux to fire at, and slipped out, traveling 100 miles to this camp, without food or rest, over the roughest road to be found. Borr. ANOTHER DESPATCH. CRoOK's CamP, CLOUD PZAK, July 12.—The following s received via Fetterman, to-night:. Three soldiers, cousiers from Gen. Terry, at the mouth of the Big Horn, have just arrived. Gen. Terry's dispatch to Crook confirms Custer’s fate, and implies very plainly that, had Custer waited one day longer, Gibbon would have joined him. - Terry is anxious for Crook to join forces, make plans and execute them, regerd- less of rank. The Indians are still hovering about the Little Big Horn, one day’s hard march from here. They have fired into camp every ‘night of late, and tried to burn us out by set- ting the grass on fire all around. 5 On the 6th, Lieut. Sibley, Company E, Sec- ond Cavalry, with twenty-five men, Frank Gruard, and Baptiste Powericr, as scouts, went on areconnolssance, were discovered, surround- ed, and followed into the timberof the Big Horn Mountains, where, by hitching the horses totrees and abandoning them, the men were enabled to escape on foot by way of a ravine in the rear. They all got back alive, and probably this diversion saved the camp from a grand at- tempt at stampede or captare. The Snake Indians, 200 strong, joined us here yesterday, but noless the Utes also come soon, Do offensive operations will be likely to take place untl the arrival of the Fifth Cavalry from Cheyenne crossing. The wagon-train and 2dditlonal infantry are due from Fetterman to-day. The health of the command {s good. Gen. Gibbon’s reserve force were met by the victori- ous Sioux, dresscd in Custer's men’s clothes,and mounted on their horses. The Indisn village possessed evidencs of white men's presence, kegs of whisky, etc., be- ing found. Sigual fires, supposed to be in reference tothe incoming wagon-train, are visible to the east of Crook’s camp, on the extreme south waters of ‘Tongue River. a A BLACK HOILLS RAID. BURLINGTON, Ia, July 15.—Mr. W. Hans- come arrived here from Custer City to-day, and brings the following report from the mines: He says that he left Custer City on the 23thof June, and has come direct through, arriving at Cheyenne three days ago. He is areliable man, 2nd comes to visit his uncle, and gather up the necessaries for the returnto his claim. The company, consisting of Hanscome, Cook, and Carter, wereat work on a dry gulch claim, which was paying $20 per day to the man. The names of the miners employed gre. G. and E.

Special Correspondence of The Tritume. ForT STEVENSO¥, July 7.—Gen. Terry’s littls army, by the 20tn of Junc, found itself ncaring the Indians, who were supposed to be in force on the Rosebud, near the mouth of the Little Horn. Scouting parties of the Seventh Cavalry, under Maj. Reno, had discovered fresh trails of unusual extent; and it was deemed advisable by Gen. Terry that they should be, followed. The entire regiment was, therefore, detailed on this service, and Custer placed in command —his written instructions being of the most lib- eral character. It was doubtless Terry's idea to make & combined attack on the camp of ths Indians about the 27th; but he did not calculate that Custer could or would move with the celer- ity that he did. Onthe 22d he started, reject- ing the offer of & support of cavalry from Gib- bon’s force; he had so much faith i his gallant Seventh that he told Gen. Tor- ry that, with such a regiment, he could WEIP ALL THE INDIANS ON TIE PLAINS; and na doubt the superior officer, knowing the experience of the subordinate, gave eredence to tne unfortunate confidence, and so permitted Custer to start alone. He was ordcred, when he found the camp of the Indians, to report by courier to Terry, who expected by the 26th to be at the mouth of the Little Horn. On went Custer, elated 5sa schoolboy on a holiday,— dressed in a suit of buckskin, and bestriding a pallant horse, whose mettle was fit to match with that_ of rider. We can imagine the thought, if not the shout, that animated him- self and his men: . 1If you want to sce the fun, Jine the cavairy. As T have #nid, Custer left on the22d. He traveled rapidly. Onthe afternvon of the 24ith, his scouts reported a village recently deserted, when a halt_was made. At 11 p. m. the march ‘was resumed, and continued until daylight of the 25th, when the command was 15 miles from the main village, located on the Little Horn. After a lunch, **Boots and Sad- dles” _ was again sounded, and soon the Indians. were discovered. ~ Their movements throughout appear to haye been di- _rected by a skill and’ judgment . superior to the ordinary ticties of Indians, and have led many o suppose that WIITE MEN OF EXPERIENCE . were with Sitting Buil, and leat him their as- sistance. Their tirst movements indicated a re- treat. Seventy-cight miles had been accom- %lished by Custer up to this time, without slcep. ere there was a pause, and & plan of battle was arranged, as it became manifest that the Indians were in force. The disposition of the forces was as follows: Custer determined to atfack with five compa- nies,—~C, E, F, I, and L,—making n detour, in- tending to take the resr of the village. Reno, with three companies, was to attack in front; and Benteen, ith four companics, was left in reserve. In accordance with the arrangements, Reno crossed the river, and, throwing out 3 strong skirmish-line, advanced. ‘His three com- ‘panies were, however, speedily overpowered by v.hfl thousands . of redskins surrounding thew, an 'NOTHING WAS LEFT BUT RETREAT, o which was accomplished by the right ilank,— the command recrossing the river 2 mile or so farther up than where {t crossed to attack, and, gaining a position on the top of a high butte or hill, in which was a hollow suitable for pro- tection. This was some 300 feet high. Leaving Custer temporarily, I will confine myaself to this party. Renospecdily found that, * if not succored, mot & man_ would cscape; and, in response to his signals, Benteencame up with his four companies, making a slight de- tour, cut his way through, and formed a junc- tion with Reno, and here they were in A STATE OF SIEGE. ‘Thousands of screeching red devils surrounded them; the fierce June sun burned them up; water was in sight, but it was death to obtain it. The Indians, from another butte still high- er than that occupied by Reno, commenced pick- fog off the men; and it was soon discovered that the cavalry carbines could not, and did not, carry the distance that the Indiins, withWinches- ter, Spencer, 2nd nncflle‘;funs, rould cover. So the hours passed until night. Stimulated by the firo:uuol the dying and the sufferings of the ving, several parties had volunteered to go to the river for water. But one man was success- ful; the remamnder—and they were many—pald with their lives the penalty of their dcvotion. Now, however, under cover of night, the risk was not so great, and a sufficient supply of water was obtained. And so the brief_hours of 2 calm summer-pight wore away. Who shail tell of ) THOE TERRIBLE SUSPENSE endnred by officors and men? Where was Terry and Gibbons? Where Crook! Alas! they did not know that Crook had already suffered a checl ut they did know that they nad them- sclve tridden all hope of support from Tcm or Gibbon for many hours. And what of th comrades under the gallant Custer?! They knew - what had become of them; and that, of the two parties, his had fared the werst. Day dawned, and with it came:a repetition of afl the horrors of the day previous. munition became scarce, the heat was intense, and, to add to the chagrin of their itlon, -breeds and others among the In- ians jeered and gibed at them, caliing ont to them, IX GOOD ENGLISH, 10 come out and fight like men. So close did they come that they actually threw stones into the ranks of the soldiers. Officers fell fast. Mclntosh and Hodgson, with Dr. DeWolf, feil at the ford when the retrcat was made; and several of the best scouts had fought their last fight. Capt. Welr, with a_band of brave volun- teers, attempted a sally; but it was unsnccess- ful, and the retreat was made with great diffi- culty. Daring the afternoon, the Indians recelved e reinforcements, w of course, made them bolder. It was not until10 o’clock that the fighting on this (the sccond) day closed.” It would be simply a rep- etition to describe the momning of the third day. By noon, however, a movement was observed amoog the Indians, that speedily ew into a_pronounced stampede, and cre long t was manifest that Terry, with reinforcements, wasat hand. I will not attempt to describe the meeting. But one idea was manifest in the minds of all: ‘WHERE IS CUSTER? None expected to see him inlife.
