Ostama, Neb., Aug. 14.—Tho dispatch re- celved from Helena, Mont., this mornlug, wes dcemed Improbable, but it has since had somne spparont confirmation at military headquarters here. There s no news of the junctlon of Terry’s and Crook's forces. Crook left camp ou the Gth, apd Terry was to march on the 7th. Gen. Willlams thinks, from the dircetion In which tho Indlans were marching, that it ust have been Crook's command that met end whipped them. Private dispatches have been recefved from J, W. Dean, Agency post-trader, that ho got from Indisn sources the news that Crook had met and defeated the Bioux. Dispatches from E, D, Townsend, commanding at Fort Laramic, stated that ho had news from Spotted Tail Agency that Terry's troous had met and w*:ipped the Indinns. INDIANS CONFIRM THE TACA. OMANA, Neb., Aug. 14—An ofilclal telegram from Fort Laramlo to-day says that the report of Gen. Terry's fight with 8itting Bull ia con- firmed through Indlans cowing Inte Spotted Tafl Agency. They report a licavy engagement, the defeat of the Indians with great Juas, and Sitting Bull wounded. IHeavy fires arc seen from Fort Larumio to the castward. It fafeared the Indians havo attucked the hoy ranches on Mitchell’s bottows, and burned the supply of lay.. I CHIoAGO. % Gen. Drum, whom a reporter saw Inst night, Is distnclined to put much falth in these state- ments. The only dlsputch recolved at Head- quarters yesterday was from Gen, Terry, to the effect that he would move up tho Rosebud at § o’clock on the evening of tho 8th, tnstead of on the 7th, ns he lad calculated. Crook's late dispatch located the Indlans fn the Rosebud mountains, and while it {s possible that fighting has been reported through the Indinn lncs to Sully, yot the General doubts it, as Sully {s 850 miies from the ecenc, and there has been searce- Iy thme for even the savages to transmit the .news, Terry's next dispatels is looked for from Bozema, above his present position and nearer than Bully. e GEN. TERRY’S COLUMN, 1T 18 A WBAILY WAY, AND CLOUDS PORTEND, 8r. Paul, Minn, Aug. 14.—~The followihg Is o Lioncer-Press special from the Bloux expedition: Preparations aro at last complete, and wo march at dsybreak to-morrow, the route belng up the Roscbud, and tho objective polnts the In- dians, wherever and whenever they may bo found. Primarlly we expect to effect o junction with Gen. Crook, but no deviation from the maln object will be mada for that purpose. BSickness Is showing itself. among the men, with a tendency to scurvy, and that which 15 to be done must be done svon. The weather is HOT BETOND PRECEDENT. The mercury indlcates to-day from 100 to 115 in tho ehude, according to locality. Much ap. prehensfon fs felt as to the effoct of marching in such heat. Gen, Terry's forco, exclusive of tho depot-guard, cousists of 019 infantry, 574 cavalry, forty artiilery, and seventy-four Crow and Ute Indians. THE OROANIZATION of the command ls shown by the following ex- tract from General Orders: ‘The troops in tho deld will bo organized for the cowning muvement as folluws: 'The battallon of the Fifth, Blath, Soveath, and Twenty-second In- fantry will conetitute & brigade, uuder the com- maund of Col. Gibbun, Eeventh infantey, ‘f'hie bat- tulion of tho Becond Cavalry, the Seventh unvnlly‘ thu battery of artillery, and the Indisn scouts will ruport dircetly to the {lcplllnu:ul Commander. OND OF THN MOST FORMIDALE DIFPICULTIES to be antlcipated on this march is the want of water amd grass. Thers hag boen no rain for many wecks, and the Rosebud contains but ver; Tittle water at Jts mouth, oud it s to be feare: that the grass which hus survived the drought has been burned by the Indlans, The country hereabouts las been covered with smoke ever slnce the battle of the Big-llorn," CAMP ROSEBUD,, ARRIVAL OF REINPORCEMENTS—IIALD TINES 1N THE BLACK IHILLE—RASCALITIZS PERPETRATED UEON TIIB CHOW INDIANS—REORGANIZATION OF TERNY'S FOUCE—A YORWARD MOVEMBNT, Krom Qur Oun Reporter, Cawr Rosenup, Mon/, Aug. 5.—On Wednes- day the steamer Durfce arrived, bringing Col Miles and six companics of the Fifth Infantry; and the steamer Josepbine, with §0,000 rutions, a small number of recrults, and sixty cavalry horacs. Theselong-looked-forand much-needed reluforcements at once put thucommand iu good splrits.

Den Dexter and cighity Montaua inen left the Bluck Hilts July 0 for Bozeman. They had not heard of the Custer massacre, and Kuew uothing of the furce of Indlans occupying all the country which thoy must nocessarily pass over. The chances are lerribly against the Dexter party, and every duy wo are expecting scotits to bring in nowsof the slaughter of thess haridy and venturesomo men, TERRY'S COMMAND i diylded Into what is called two coltmns,—one the Missouri nud trans-Missour! troops, and the otier the Moutana column, Gen. Terry com- mands all the troops, althouzh the popular fm- presalon hus heen, that the Montana column, under command of (en, Gibbon, was o separate command, Gen.

As u mere inemorandum as to * WHAT TIIS WAT \ILL COST, 1 send you the following: When Gen, Glbbon was ordered to Joln Terry with Iis Montuna troops, he hnd no tranaporiation, Gen. (Maf.) Hriabin, lnavll:r: on the 221 of February, came (o Fort Pease and relensed o pnrt{ of adventurers thereafter to bo mentioned) with Lis own trans- portatfon, But, after Gen. (Hbbun's command got in thg fleld, he found his trans. portation “swdly - deflefent, A contract was, therefore, made with o nrin of Montana In-l,x;lm;rs‘Y nmed E.

In fouror five days Gen. Terry hopes to tako the ield, About twenty-five CHOYW INDIANS are serving as geouts, being attached to the Montana column, Gen. Terry hos asked the Crows to send him 150 vr 200 Warriors; and it {s ossible they will ‘loln him at the base of the iz lHorn Mountafns, Gens. Glbbon and Bris- bin place great relfance upon the fidelity and cournge of the Crows,—the most hon- orable and loysl tribe. of Indians the Government las upon its penslon-rolls. And yet these sans Crows have been worse- treated than uny west of the Missourf. Capt. Ed Ball, of the Sccond Cavalry, hns been ln- spector of Government Supplics for the Crow Feucy; and e tells n sad _tale of the perilldy of the” appointees of tho _Peace Commission. About two weeks ago, a delegation of Crows, made its way through Sitting Buil's llues, _and intereepted Gen. Qibhon, The Indians came, they eald, to beg food, s they were starving on the reser- vation. And this, too, In face of the fuct that an_unexpended Dalaneo of $75,000 wua then, and had been for rome time, fu the hands of the Agent. Capt.

The following s the result of a THiueSE re- porter’s political gleanings yesterday: -' REPUBLICAN NEADQUARTERS were enlivened by the prescace of several visitors yesterday, amoung whom wure 1L F. Valette, of Du Page County, und John Morton, of Marschles, both of whom are making arrangements for {mportant mass-mectings in thelr respective countfes; the Hon. Milton May, of Springticld; James Mon- roe, Sofith Haven, Mich.; George . Smith, Marshalltown, Ia.; 8idney Smith, Gen, O, L. Mann, Chicago: Prof. L. De Marr, of the Courier 1" Illinots, Kankakee; R. J. Porter and others, members of o committee from LaPorte, Ind,, to purchase uniforins for a battalion of elght companies of minute-men organized In that place; and Dr. J, 8. Bolse, of Aledo, Mer- cer County. Col. Babcock, Dan Shepard, and James P, Root were busied during the day In answer- ing correspondence, entertaining visitors, and in telling reporters thut there was nothlng new. Tu the absence of suy startling information, Mr. Root was moved to say that Morton's speech wad unanswerable. It will be dssued s & cumpalgn document in Gerroan and English, sud scattered el over the Northwest., Mr. Root cxpressed some desire to see what Heudricks will sy to it. Mr Root, as well known,” entertalos no very high opinlon of * Hendricks. The ver' mgntion of the namne is sufiicient to call forth rewarks, whose pungency s apparent. Bafd Mr, Rout yesterday, while speaklig tou_couple of reporters about the Denocratic candidates: Y1 tell you, Uendricks hus got to take & new departure before he cun reply to Morton. e will bave to go and bathe In the Jordan, und [ doubt whothier Jordan water, strong us it is, can wash out the hmpurities of his political ca- recr. Ltoll you hais Xom.lcmlly crooked, from the crown of his head to the'toe of his fuot, Ile fs onc of those gentlemen who have licked the platter cleun on the outside, but within there Is nothing but bolls, aud sures, and poll- evil, [Ilere Mr. Root simied.] If an augel wera to come down and stir up the waters and Tom ilendricks were hounced In, it wouldn't save bim, He I8 a fit \'mnp:minn plecs to Chauncey Burry of New Jersey, and Dirty-Shirt Dean, of lows,—onu of those cusses that aided treason in the North, and hadn't the courage to go down South and fight against us,” nd then Mr, Root had a word to ssy about TILDEN, It was as fajlows: i “ Forty mlillion dollars of this shinplaster stufll were {ssued by Tllden and his pactuers in the mining and rallroad business in the Upper Pentusula of Michigan, The futerest on thut ut 10 per cent is $4,000,000 o year. Hence Tilden's wealth, o saved ” that much in Intercst per annum by fssulz spurious poper. Besldes that, about 3 per cent of the stuff fs destroyed avnually in one way or unuther, which wos o much clear galn to the Reformner. 1 tell you, when a man gets 10 be 64 years old_before it ever vceurs to him that there is anything to reform in this country after he has been for twenty years the hosam friend of Boss Tweed, he is i traud, He beging h[l!l ,"f‘?,"“ bustness pretty late In the evenlng 0] 8.’ 1t is expocted that CARL 8CHURZ will make bis first cumpnign _ speech cither In Ohlo or Indiana. ITe will then come North and make his second apuuch in Chicago somewhere about the Ist of eptember, No arrangements have as yet been made, but the matter will soon assuine delinite shape. The apeech will probably be delivered at an open-alr meeting, and it 1s probable that the meeting will be beid on Market street where the Hayes und Wheeler ratitication mecting wus Leld somo weeks ago. : A fucetious letter from the Hou, Zach Chan- dler to Mr. Root states that the commonly re- celved opinton at Washington fs that the Democratic mauagers are putting thelr money up in two ways. ‘Uit barrels ntended for the Eustern mutket contaln_silver balf-dollars, the regulation price of & Democratic vote, while thuso destliied for the West are stuffed with 50- cent postal currency, to conform to the preju- dices of tho West for soft money, It {s also re- ported that cach barrel s marked with tho number of votes requlred from .ny one district.
