The Turks have struggled hard, but have certainly ) NOT GAINED THE VICTORY claimed by them. The Russians, in the course of three days' fighting, gained an im- portant position on the heights of the Great and Little Yagni; but, in consequence of the difficulty of procuring water supplich; they withdrew from them.

On thio contrary, the rise at Culro has stopped, and the river has even slightly retreated. Its volame at Khartoum shows that there wust be some further rise, but It will not sutlice to make up the deticlency. It is, there- fore, worth while to consider what loss to the country ia invulved in what is technleally known asa *bad Nfle” The question must be viewed in two aspecte—~the effect of the river on the country by means of Inundation at high Nile, and the effect produced by artificial frrigation thronghout the year, ‘I'he Nlle Is allowed pre’sy much its olvn way abova the first cataract, bul ofter fta entrance futo E‘;ypl proper the fnundation s kept In cheek by banks and dams and slulces, and the ancient pictures of the country as one vast loke, ont of which the* villages rise like istands, are no longor true, Where the river has attajned o suflicient belght ft §s allowed to flow on to the cultivated Iatds through openings fn the banks of a depth varying irom one foot to ten feet, acconling the dilferent luvels of the ground.

Terry, Commanding Department of Dakula—GrxeaaL: This cuin- mand moved rapldly to 8nake Crges, striking the fresh trail of the hostile Nez Perces, coming outy of Bear Paw Mountains, at 8 o'clock on the 3QL. We met and surprised the camp at 8 o’clock, capturing thie larger part of their herd, about 600 horses, mules, and ponies. The engagement was quite severr, sud the inclosed {s n list of our killea and wounded. ‘The Indians lost seventecn killed, including Lookiug-Glass aud Joscph's brother, thres ottier Chlels, oud forty wounded. Joseph gave me lils solemn pledge yesterday that he would sur- render, but did not, and they are cvidently waiting for aid from other Indlans. They say that the - Bloux arse coming to their ald. ‘ihey arc closely invested In some.deep ravines and kept under fire. To take them by assault would cost many llves. I may wear them out and eventually compdl them togive up. They fight with more desperation than any Indlaus 1 have ever met. I believe there arc many escaped villains fn the villago who expeet to be buog when caught. 1 believe there fs communication botween this camp ands Sittiur Bull, and I have uscd every cffort to prevent o junclion. 1am expectiug the cum- panics with Sturgis up, and will then endeavor to, send the Bceond Cavalry companies to Benton, 1 presume you do ot wish them®'withdrawn when surrounding the Nez Perces camp. Iin- tend to send iny wounded to the Missourf and the captured stock to the Yellowstone. I would respectfully suggest that Information be sent to the British authorities to prevent any portion of the Nez Perces tribe crossing the line, or to dis- arm them should they take refuge on English soil. Cun supplics be sent up the Milk River road for the Second Cavalryl. Please send mo any Information or orders that should govern my movements. Respectfully, your opedlent servant, Nxuson A.
