Shermans: * I had already ordered Gen, Merritt to join Gen. Crook, but he will be detalned o fow days attempting to intercept the Indlans who have left the Red Cloud Agcency, I would suggest to Gen, Crook to unite with Gen.

As this takes away all the disturblng element fromn that scction, I have avalled myselt of the Licutenant-General’s perinisafon, and ordercd clght_companies of the Fifth Cavalry, under Col. Merritt, to join me st this point. The best fnformation I can get from my front 15 that the Bloux have three fighting men to my o, although I have no doubt of my abillty to whip them with my R;‘““‘" force, but ‘tho victory would llkely one barren of re- sults,” and 8o 1 have thought it Detter to defer un_attack until I can get the Fifth here, and then end the cnmlpn.l n with one crughing blow. The hostlle Indiuns are, ne- cording to my advices, encanped on the Little Horn, near tho base of the mountain, and will probably remain there until my reinforcements cone up.

Louss, July 17.—A great deul of {ndigna- tion has been expressed liere among all classes of peoplo at tho attempt of Gen. Sturgis to Dlacken the name of Custer. Bturgia {8 Colonel of the Beventh Cavalry, of which Custer was Licutenant-Colonel, Ho had ason killed with Custery and fecls very much aggrieved ot whnt e calla Custer’s insanc ambitlon for notorioty. Sturgls, in fact, charges that the relative posi- tions {n which the bodiea of Custer and his men and ofllcers were found shows that Custer wwas away to the rear at the timo of the massacre, and was subscquently overtaken and he and his body-guard slaughtered, It is gon- erally belleved that Sturgis has beon induced to make these charges through feelings of chagrin of the loss of his son. Inconncetfon with these charges your correapondent to-night had a con- versation with Johu Malono, one of 1lazen's old scouts, who furnished the following incident to demonatrate, a8 ho said, that * the Yellow-Ialr- cd Chiaf was game.” The morning of the Wicl- ita tight, Custor left his supply train aud sur- rounded the enem{ lalf an hour before day- lght. A rumor had reached Maj. Ellott’s cars that somo of the Scvonth Cavairy intended to profit by the opportunity, and klli thelr General for lils allcged tyranny, The Major so Informed Custer, with the suggestion that ho should not turn bis back to Liis men, Custer replied that he naver commanded o man who would shoot hiin in the back, and gent ward to the band to start the musie. Wt tune shall we play? inquired the Ileader. # Play ‘ Garry Owen,'—a roud tuno to dic by,” shouted Custer, as ho put spura to his charger, and was the first man in that famous fight. CUBTER'S PREDICTION, Spectal Dispatch 80 The Tribune, Wasmixaron, D, C., July 17.—An Intimate personal friend of Gen, Custer says that a short time previous to his departure for his command, lie, In conversation, expressed his fears of such o calamity as has recently huppened, Ila sald the Government could not bo persuaded into an apprectation of tho formidablo character.und number of theso savages, armcd as they are with thobest and lafest improved arms. Ho sajd thut, unless a much larger force than cun be hmu{;hc Into tho field at this point now wern sent into this _country, there would resulta long and costly Iudlan war. CHICAGO HEADQUARTERS. CHOOK. At the military headquarters no startling news was recelved from the front yesterday, and none s cxpocted for it least 2 duy or two. There scems to be but lttle fear there as to Gen.

Mr, Ollver, of the Public Works Department, arrived thero on the 18th of lh;;. and has been hard at work over sluce. Fort Pelly, the pres- ent headquarters of the mounted” pollco, was formerly intended to be the site of the Capltal of tho Rowattini but, belng found alto- gether unsultatle, the costly barracks, stables, and other bulldiogs crected there will shortly bo sbandoned, while the saw- mllls and uvcrythlngi of a portable naturo wil be removed to Battle River.

Witha want of larcv.hm:flll highly culpable in the face of hostilities belng carried on upon the very border of this Province, the Government have reduced the small parrison of Canadian troops here from 100 to 50, viz: 23 artillery, and & lke number ot infantry. This change was effected on the 30th of Juno ult., at the close of the financinl year, in fulfillment of the policy of the Muckenzie Administration,who only eked from Parliamest su appropriation for’50 tnen from the 1st inst.

Further, In the last aunual report of Maj.-Gun. Smyth,—an officer of the Imperial Army who now comands the militia of Cana- da,—there was a strong recommoendation that at least one company of fofantry should be established in u defensible post at Iligh Blufl, about 4 milea from the FPortage. Col. Bmltfl, maorcover, who commands tbhe mllitia here, urgently counscled an increase in the force that would enable such o detachment to be supplcd without bringing the strength of the garrison at Fort Oshurne, Winnipeg, below 100 ‘men. However, the persuasions of ultri cconomists prevalled, avd the Governmont totally dlsregarded the recommendations of their own ofllcers, In order to carry out their own {deas in favor of reduction.

Adliering, however, to her resolution, she would not uscany of the money, but put it in the® bauk to the eredit of her children, along with 81,000 more. Tilton sent 160 #peclally for tho boy Ralplh. Mrs. Tilton put it in the bank with- out saylng anything about it to fhe boy. When Theodoro learned what lis wife had done, he expressed anger—not g0 much at lier refusal to profit personally by his labors, s at tho fact that she did not acqualnt Ralph with the pecuniary evidenco of his father's regand for him. He, a few days ago, fnduced the child to visit him, when, putting him Into a carriage, hio drove over to New Jersey, where he insists upon Leepiog him. Mrs. Tilton had no intimation of her husband's intontion until shic found herself deprived of her child, when she became almost frantie with grief. Under the law of New Jersey the father s the recognized puardian of the boy after ho reaches the ago of 7, and Ralph reached thut nge o few days :50' In'this Btate no such doctrine {8 ontertiined, both parents being look- o upon, with cqual favor, = Mr. Tllton now snyn that Ralph deslres to remain where hels, at Ocean Grove, N. J., with_his sister, while the friends of Mrs, Tilton und tho boy Carrull, who {8 18 ycars of age, who lives with his_watler, sny that Ralph wants to return to Brooklyn. Mr, Tliton and his wifo were supposcd to have compromised on the children by sgreelng that hu should have the three girls and she the two boys, Upon this agrecment tho movements of the children have been ordered for more than a car past, It is still hoped, however, that the question will be scttled without any resort to luw.

Wasnixaeroy, D, C., July 17.—~Thers I8 in- creased demoralization among the Democrats to-day over the result of the usual Monday con- test for the repeal of the Resumption nct. The DBanking and Currency Committec has again played its usual tactics, and, Instead of report~ ing, postponed actlon untll an attempt could bo made to-day to force those Democrats fn the Committce who oppoee repeal to change thelr ground by @ pressure brought to bear upon them through a vote of the Hfouse, In fact, onc of the hard-money Democratic members of the Committce has ylelded JIatcly eo far ns to say that {f an approxl- mately united vote could be obtained In the Housc In favor of repeal he would go so far in Committee as to favor o biil repealing the resumption clausc of the act, bu’ under no circumatances would e go further than that. To-day tho matter was put in A LITTLE MORE ATTRACTIVE PORM than heretofore by Mr., Springer, of Illinofs, for the purpose of attcrupting to sccure votcs of meinbers who have heretoforo opposed repeal. This ucw feature conslsted in introducing into a resolutfon instructing the Banking and Cur- reney Committee to report a bill to-morrow re- pealing the reswinption clause of the act a proviso that the bill, when reported, shall be open to amendment. This, however, failed of its descrved effect, and the vote ob- tained for the resolution stood 103 to 92, two- thirds being required to pass.. Subsequently another aftempt was made to pass a resolution having the same object fn view, Mr. Vance, of Ohlo, sought to bring tho matter up in the shaps of a resolutton to repeal the Resumptlon act.
