HEADQUARPERS DEPARTMENT OF THE ig ag MepicinE BLUFY CREEK, Jan. 20, 1809. Information received from the villages of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes some days since an- nounced an unexpected stampede of those Indians, occasioned, it is supposed, by reports from their runners that several columns were moving from tie north toward the headwaters of Red river. In the latest. official communications from General Carr that officer expressed his determination to move south es far as the Red river, if possible. The Indians broke thelr camps and hastened in this direction, reaching within thirty-five miles of this point. Thence, for some unknown cause, they took the sandy bed of the Red river, which they followed for some distance, trusting to a rise m: the river to ob- literate their trail. The Indians here say that the marks could be seen where the Indian pontes fell from exhaustion aud were lifted to their feet again and urged forward. The stampede was unusually rapid and great losses were occasioned, The tardiness of these Indians in coming in in- duced General Custer, since my last despatch, to set out for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe camps. The following composed the party:—Brevet Major Gene-| Tal George A. Custer, Captain Samuel Robbins, Bre- Yet Lieutenant Coionels W. W. Cook and T. W. Cus- ter and Acting Assistant Surgeon Renick. As an escort the General took about Ofty men, composed of detachments from each of the companies of the Seventh United States cavairy, each detachment pe- ing commanded by a non-commissioned officer, General Custer took upon himself the mission in which he is now Cio map The Indians here assured the party of safety, though Indian treachery is as ca- Pricious as Indian promises, A courier arrived yesterday from General Custer with information to the Commanding General that the party had reached the Arapahoe camp, — — Cheyennes were near by. The Indians were in direction, and about seventy-eight miles dis- tant. The Commanding General is now in expecta- tion of further news trom Custer, who will use his efforts in hastening on those two bands, and proba- aimee and come in with them. uring the absence of General Custer Brevet Licu- tenant Colonel William Thompson, Captain Seventh United States cavairy, commands the regiment, Brevet Lieutenant Colonel A. J. MeGonnigle, chief quartermaster of the ex ition, and Brevet Lieu. tenant Colonel T. W. C. returned several days since from Fort Arbuckle. Colonel McGonnigle re- ports the trains en route for this place with sup- plies as making some progress, They were ly retarded by the rains and floods, but will certain!; be in by the 9th of February. It would be dificult to comprehend the exertion required to keep even @ small commandgsupplied tn this remote section at this season of the year. So far, however, owing to the efficiency of the Fort Hays and Camp Supply route, not the least inconvenience has been experi- enced, Had the other route done as well there would have been more than enough. Owing to the tardi- ness on the Arbuckle route there has been @ short supply of forage for the animals, From this direc- tion it was expected to feed the animals. For seve- rai weeks they have been on halftorage, which. how- ever, will be increased when the trains get through. Brevet Major Genera! B. H.

The proportion of sick is jess than might be looked for in a more clement season. Since the foe of hostilities the troops have been considerably scattered in order to give the animals better shelter and more favorabie opportu- nities for browsing, The Seventh United States cavalry occupies south bank of Medicine Blut creek and the valleys ranging off towards the south. The Tenth United States cavalry is about a mile lower down, on Cache and Medicine Biuit creeks. The Nineteenth Kansas Volunteer cavairy is in camp beyond Medicine Bluff, about three miles distant, occupying the valleys towards the eastern extremity of the Witchita mountains.
