The nearest price that can be quoted is 504¢4. SREADSTOFYS MARKETS—THE HOME CROPS AND FOREIGN DEMAND. The Mark Lane Ezpress this evening, in its usual weckly review of the grain trade, says:—“'The wheat plant is now mostiy-looking healthy and promising, and there appears to be reasonable prospect of a moderate if not a fair crop. The acreage is short, owing to bad seed time, which rendered it necessary to sow many fields originally intended for wheat with begns or barley. It appears probable that the season of 1876 will be one of moderate crops o! fair quality, gathered at a somewhat later period than ordinary. FORKIGN DEMAND, 4 “The wheat trade, sustained as it has been for some time by the Continental demand and the possibility of political dificultics, has enterea,upon a phase of quiet, owing to the cessation of foreign requirements and the diminished attention Eastern affairs-have commanded: 4t the same time supplies are being rapidly pushed ‘orward from America and Russia, io an- Meipated enormous California crop in the background, little probability exists of prices advancing, PRICES “A drooping tendency became apparent at the begin- sing of the week, and the fine weather, which has been pretty general throughout the kingdom, has thecked the firmnces which was upheld by the con- sumptive demand, The off-coast grain trade has ruled quiet, but a rather better demand has been apparcat for cargoes of wheat ata decline of about 2a per quar- ter on last week's prices, No improvement has taken place for forward shipment, as the supply off the coast ‘8 more than sufficient to meet present requirements, and tho fine weather further tends to render ouyers tareloss. Maize and barley offer no new features.”’ paieaeweent Serratia FRANCE. 4 AINT TO M. GAMBETTA—CENTRAL UNITY IN LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS-—THE UNIVERSITY BILL OF THE GOVERNMENT LIKELY TO BE Post- PONED. Pans, Juve 26, 1876, M. Grévy, President of the Chamber of Deputies, is faid to have advised M, Gambetta, seml-officially and nm a friendly manner, to discontinue the practice of holding the sittings of the Budget Committee at the Palais Bourbon, in Paris, The news agency which transmits this report docs ot give an explanation for it, but the reascn probably ts that the custom of sitting at Parin instead bt Versailles is calculated to invest the committee with an existence and fufluence distinct from the Chamber of Deputies in (he minds of the Parisian radi- tals, Tho proceedings of the committee are creating considerable dissatistuction. The conservative news- papers complain of what they term its usurpations, tompare it with the Committee of Public Safety and the Facobin Club of the first revolution. TRE UNIVERSITY BILL. The conservative side of the Sena ticipate a Post. yonement of Minister Waduington’s University bill anti next session. The recess will commence about the middie of Jnly, but the republicans, before fixing a fay therelor, desire to ascertain tbe temper of the Senate on this bili by discussing it, ANXIOUS FOR ACTION.

Loxpor, June 26, 1876. In the House of Lords this evening Lord Derby, in reply toa question by Lord Do La Warr, said undoubt- edly affairs were critical in Servia, in the sense that great military preparations were making. The militia reserve had been called out and everything prepared for the immediate commencement of a campaign. Whether it was Servia’s intontion to make war was beyond his province to answer, Of course, it was open to those who made the preparations to say whether the unsettied state of their surroundings justified such measures for the purpose ot defence, This was all the information he could give. DISRAKLI OX THE TURKISH “FEROCITINS” IN BULGARIA, In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Foster, in ac- cordance with the notice he had given on Saturday last, asked Mr, Disraeli whether he could give any in- formation as to the truth of the statement published in the Daily News Constantinople letter of the cruelties of tho Turks in Bulgaria, Mr. Disracli said the government had no intormation Justifying those statements. At the commencement of the troubles in Bulgaria outrages were committed and villages barned by Busbi-Bazouks and Circassians, | Pegardiess of race or religion, and the war was con- ducted with great ferocity. At that time there were no regular troops in Lulgaria, and the inhabitants were compelled to defend themscives. Sir Heury George Eiliot, the English Ambassador at Constantinople, was instructed iu May last to cull the attention of the Turkish government to the state of affairs, and he tn- duced Turkey to send troops into bane when the trouvles speedily ceased. THX SERVIAN WAR AGITATION. A despatch from Belgrade to the Reuter Telegram Company states that warlike rumors continue, but they are not authenticated. The rumors appear to bo based on the announcement of the departure of the field telegraph, post and movical staff for the frontier. TRYING TO RESTRAIN SERVIA. Vants, June 26, 1876, ‘The newspapers here say the Powers aro again exer- cising pressure at Belgrade to induce Servia to abandon its warlike attitude. SETTLING THE BASIS FOR A GREAT SGRUGGLE. RaGusa, June 26, 1876, Intelligence received here trum Slavonic sources Statesjthat the Herzegovinan chiefs will assembie at Bagrani on the 27th of July to agrce with Montenegro about their operations in case Servia commences hos- tilities against Turkey. GERMAN REPORT OF THE SITUATION IN THE EAST, Loxpon, June 26, 1876, ‘A special despatch from Berlin to the Pall Mau Gazelle says that Austria is taking procautions for the Maintenance of a strict neutrality in the event of a conflict between Servia and Turkey. It ig announced, on apparently good authority, that Montencg~o will not participate in Servia’s movement On the contrary, Prince Milen’s assumption o! the Jeaderchip of the Slavonian revolt is roported to have excited the jealousy of the Prince of Montenegro, Roumania continues strictly neutral. THE BRITISH CABINET SAID TO BE DIVIDED ON THE QUESTION. Livexroot, June 26, 1876. The Post's London correspondent says he bears from a trustworthy source that serious differences exist in the Cabinet on the Eastern question, and intimates that the present policy is Mr, Disracli’s, and not Lord Derby's. POINTS OF DIFFERENCE, The correspondent says:—‘‘The reason why such an obstinate silence bas been observed in Parliament on the policy of the government on this question is that a debate would make manitest these differences which could not fail to prove very prejudicial to the govern- ment. Lora Derby and Sir Stafford Northcote, Chan- celior of the Exchequer, on the one hand, and the Premicr, Mr. Hunt, First Lord of the admiralty, and the Marquis of Sahs- bury, Secretary of State for India, on the other, are widely at variance on the extremely serious point of the amount of support to be awarded Turkey by England in the event of acrisi, Every one is hoping for the best, but nobody's eyes can be closed to the alarming resemblance the present situation bears to that immediately preceding the Crimean war. If we do not this time drift into hostilities, it certainly will not be owing to unity and energy in the cause of peace of Mr. Disraeli’s government.” REASON WHY. It ts propor to state that the Post is a scalous I!beral journal. SERVIAN GOVERNMENTAL ECONOMIES. Viena, Jane 26, 1876. The Political Correspondence (newspaper) reports that all the resolutions adopted by the Servian Chamber last winter in view of the outbreak of war are now veg carried out, The salarics of all civil functionaries have been reduced and the majority of the men in tne civil service have bee: draitea isto the army.

Loxpox, June 27, 1876. A despatch to the Standard, dated Constantinople, June 23, and received by way of Athens, says it is ce: tain that the Porte expects Servia to take immediate action. PREPARING TO MEET THEM, Abdul Kerin Pasha, commander-in-chief of the Turk. ish forces, has been ordered to proceed to Nitsche and Prepare for immediate hostilities, BAD XEWS FOR THE BONDMOLDERS. In spite of rumors to the contrary no scheme for the benefit of the holders of Turkish bonds exists, Tho government is exclusively occapied with political affairs, Morcover, it has no need to raise funds at present, because it is well supplied from the treasure lett by the late Sultan, ENGLAND'S POLICY OF NON-INTPRVENTION CLEARLY DEFINED— UNION WITH THE GREAT POWERS—-ANXIOUS FOR THE RECON- CILIATION OF THE PORTE AND PROPLES. Loxvox, June 27, 1876, In the House of Lords, last night, the Earl of Derby, replying to the motion of Lord Stratheden and Camp- bell for the projuction of papers relative to the stated that the abandonment of inemorandum bad removed the cause of disunion between Engiand and the other Powers, He justified the tate revolution in Constantt nople, and deprecated basty unfavorable criticism of the foreign Powers, The situacion, he said, was very complicated, but for bis part he saw uo great reason to doubt that ail the great Powors, without exception, would be glad to terminate a quarrel having so many elements of danger. Lord Derby continuea:—‘‘England’s line of action is clear, We would gladly reconcile the Porte and the msurgeuts; but we have no right or wish to take the parvof either in a purely internal quarrel, That is Geniean which we have acted in times not remote, and civil wars far more extensive and sanguinary. We are in communication with the Porte and other Powers with the view of offering such counsels as seem use- ful, We have been charged in some quarters with favoring the Turks. The charge 1s utterly unfounded. No one supposes the maintenance of the Ottoman Em- Pire possible if the Christians become permanently dis- affected, The proniem 1s to reconcile their reasonable wishes with the maintenance of a system which cannet be overthrown withor general convulsion.” - BELGIUM.

The Gallant Custer in the Role of a Guide. Vigorous Activity to Surround and Capture the Redskins. A HERALD COURIER DROWNED. The following letter from our correspondent ac- companying General Terry’s command comes to us indorsed with the sad intelligence that the HsRALD courier, who received it from the hands of the writer @t the mouth of the Powder River, was drowned on the way down to Fort Buford, The envelope in which it was originally enclosed is very much discol- ored and seems to have been cowpletely saturated. The indorsement on it runs thus:— Fort Boroxp, D. T., Juno 14, 1876, To Tux Eprtor ov THs Hrratp, New York:— Opon boat with mail cupsized on way down from stockade. Sergeant Fox, Sixth sayy, drowned; tne oldest sergeant of the regiment, This letter was uriod and re-enclosed at Buford, In the absence of details we can only assume that the gallant messenger came to his death through the accidental upsetting of the boat. SPIRITED DESCRIPTION OF THE ADVANCE OF GENERAL TERRY'S COMMAND TO THER YEL- LOWSTONE BIVER—HOW HE COMMUNICATED WITH AND JOINED GENERAL GIBBON—THE PLAN BY WHICH THE INDIANS ARE TO BE SURROUNDED. Camp ox YeLLowstong, Mourn or Powper River, Monpay, June 12, 1876, The main portion of the Big Horn expedition, under General Terry, reached this point yesterday about sun- set, and is now encamped on tho right bank of tho Yellowstone, immediately below the junction of the Powder and Yellowstone rivers. My last letter to tho Hyraip was sent by special courier from our camp on tho Little Missouri River, dated May 31. Taking up our march and narrative at that pout, I will drat allude to the weather, that ever convenient topic, but in this instance furnishing more than the usunl intorest. When tho courier who bore the despatches to the Henan loft us, about ten o’ctock on the night of the Slut ult,, we were enjoying the vernal breezes of a delighttul May evening. Imagine ou sur- prise and that of the entiro camp upon awaking next morning at the unfashionable hour of ‘three o’clock to find the ground and our tents covored with about four inches of snow and more coming. The 1st of June and a snowstorm! This is an experience few have had except in the mountains. There seemod No prospect of an carly abatement of the storm, the guides could not run the course, and if they could have done so our already overladen wagons and inaif- feront malo teams were jn no condition to take on the greatly increased burden due to wet canvas. Orders were, therefore, sont around that the expedition would not move until further orders, which, interpreted, ‘meant we would not move untli the storm ceased and the sun had had time to dry our canvas tents. TUR SNOW CONTINURD TO FALL ‘all that day and the next, Gradually it became lighter and finer, and soon ceased altogether. A few bours of the Jane sun, to which we were soon after treated, dried our cauvas, and once more We were on our stecds and off im quest of Sitting Bull and his dreaded hosts. As 8 snow storm in June 1s not acommon occurrence in most localities I took the trouble to inquire astotheir frequency in this latitude. Firat I interviewed the officers, many of whom bave been serving in this terri- tory tor several years. To them the sight of a snowfall in June, or even as late as May or latter half of April, ‘wasan entirely new and novel experience. Next I sought the few white mon who accompany the expedi- tron as guides, interpreters and packers; they likewise expressed astovishment at @ apparently strange freak of nature. As a last resource in my effort to fund a precedent tor Dame Nature's conduct I ‘wended my way to the camp of the Indian scouts, the latter representing Sioux and Aricarees, They were as much in the dark, to say nothing of color, as their white brothers—in other words, although they had beon born and bred upon-the Plains and in this region of country, the sight of a snowstorm in June was an unusual and surprising one to them. 1 tue concluded that the only party, perhaps, who might be able to ex- plain this weather phenomenon was either Old Proba- bilities or the man who wrote “DECEMBER 18 48 PLEASANT 4S MAY."’ The hot rays of the sun, combined with the natural heat of the earth, caused the snow to disappear almost as quickly asitappeared. Our march that day wasover an excellent grazing country, with a plentiful supply of water and wood in abundonce for military purposor, The ordinary monotony of the march was broken that @ay by an incident of some importance to us, trifling “ugh it may seem to some of your readers. The ‘oops and immenso wagon trains, with the herd of over 100 beeves, were moving steadily along away toward the west, Generals Terry and Custer were riding side by side at the head of the main column, followed by their staf_lz, when far in the distance in front of them were seen three mounted figures coming toward the columu, All eyes were bent upon the ap- Proaching horsemen, the outlines of the latter being too indistinct to render it possible to make out their character, whether whito or red men, friends or foes, The quick eye of Custer was the first to solve the pro- diem. “They are SCOUTS PROM THE STOCKADR,”” was his remark to Terry. The latter called for his field glass and began to observe the movements of the three horsemen moro carcfally than could be done with the naked eye. “What makes you think they are scouts from the stockade.” was Terry’s response to Custer, “We have no men so far to our front as those are; two are dressed tn citizens’ clothes and one of th ia riding a white horse, We have no parties with the expedition answering to that description; besides they are ap. proachiug us at a gallop, and are coming from pers, 2) direction to be trom the stockade.’ The mystery was soon solved. Reynolds, the gale of this expedition, galloped to the front, and as our eyes followed bis movements he was seen to approach the three horsemen and begin a series of handshaking with them as if old acquaintances bad been tound. They soon joined us, The three mysterious horsemen, who might in their make up and mounts have furnished heroes for the three opening lines of as many of G. P, R. James’ novels, proved to be, on closer acquaint- ance, three scouts—two # men and one Indian— rent from the stockade on the Yellowstone to commu- nicate with the expedition and bear despatches from General Gibbon, operating with ten companies of cavairy and infautry on the left bank of the Yeilow- store. TARRE SOLDIERS SiOT. The. news from Goueral Gibbon was to the effect that hws command was on the Yellowstone, opposite the mouth of Rosebud River, and that parties of hostile Indians were to be seen hovering about bis force al- most daily, watch nog his movemenis and, ap- parently waiting an opportunity to mako «@ strike, Gibbon bad had three men killed by the Indians up to the date of his despatch to Terry. Theso had been kilied within a half a mile of camp while out hanting. The Indians had seon them leave camp and had concealed themselves behind a small bill, where, waiting the approach of the three men, they al- } knew tho route from th: 7 eancneien aca by shooting them through the head. Two of the men killed were privates in tbe Seventh regular infantry, Gibbon’s regiment. The third was a civilian teamster belonging to the Quartermaster's Department. The scouts wh» bore the despatch also reported that the hostile Indians bad stolon and run off ail the ponies belonging to the Crow scouts, twenty-five in number, who were accompanying Gibbon’s colamn ; but Gib- bon’s despatch makes no allusion to this, s0 that she statement lacks official confirmation. THE STOCKADE PROVISIONED, It was gratifying to learn by the same messengers that the steamers loaded with supplies imtended for the use of this and Gibbon’s columns had arrived with their infantry escort under Colonel Moore, of the Sixth infantry, at the stockade on the Yellowstone, and there await our arrival, The stockade, for the information of the uninformed, is located on the right bank of the Yellowstone River, At the crossing of that stroam by tho Northern Pacific Survey, and was established by General Stanley in 1873 a6 a protection for his depot of supplies while escorting the survoying parties of the Nortkern Pacific Railroad through this region. The information brought by the scouts that the Yellowstone was filled with water and easily navigable by heavily laden steamers induced a shght change in the original plan, which eontomplates tho march of the troops and trains to the stockad then, attor obtaining fresh supplies, the continuation of the march up the Yellowstone to the mouth of Powder River—our present location, This would in- volve a somewhat circuitous route, It was, therefore, decided to camp that night ON BBAYER CREBK, about forty miles {rom tho stockade, send the scouts back to the latter point, with orders to Colonel Moore to Feload the supplies on the steamer Far West, and with one company of the Sixth infantry on board as escort tako tho steamer up the Yellowstone to the mouth of Powder River, and there await the ar- rival of the expedition, ‘The latter, mean- while, instead of proceeding to tho stockade, would cut directly across in a southwesterly direction to vowder River, then make its way down that river to its month. This pan was put in execution at once. As Fesult we are all here, steamor supplies and troops, e: cept such as have veen detached, as will bereafter be described. ‘By tho same scouts who bore these orders to the siockade, instructions were sent to Gibbon di- reoting him not to continue his march further down the Yellowstone, but to halt whenever tho orders should Teach him. As it was known that the risk was very great in attempting to reach Gibbon the two scouts who wore to endeavor to mako their way to Gibbon from thé stockade wero promised $200 extra compensa- tion in caso they succeeded tn reaching him. Small compensation to place apon the serious risk of two lives, HOT SPRINGS DISCOVERED, Leaving Beaver Creek next mourning, the scouts to- ward the stockade, the expedition toward Powder River, we camped that night again on Beaver Creek, further south, Reynolds guiding the column over a comparatively fair country, with excellent grassing, abundance of water, and sufficient timber. The tollow- ing day we bore, first southward, then turning almost due wost, crossed a divide and oncamped that night on a small tributary of Cabin Creok, the latter Gowing into the Yellowstone; That day a hunting party from Colonol Keogh’s battalion of the Sev- enth cavalry returned and reported having found some hot springs, or geysers. The non-commissioned officer in charge of the party described them as some- thing similar to the mud springs, or spouting geysers, to be found in the Yellowstone Park. Unfortunately, the party did not return to camp with this informa- tion in timo to enable a more carctul examination and location of these natural curiosities to be made. A HUXTING PARTY Lost. Anotner hunting party, from Colonel Benteen’s command of the Seventh cavalry, lost their way, and did not rejoin the column until ten o’cloek tho follow- ing day. Their absenco during tho night excited no little anxiety, as fresh signs of Indians had been seen during the day, and it was feared tho party wight have been waylaid and killed. TAKING A WESTERLY COCRSH the following morning, {rom our camp on Cabin Creek, and crossing a narrow divide, wo soon struck the Mid- dic Fork of O’Fallon’s Creek, another tributary of the Yellowstone, and were now travelling in a region of country lea for the first time by white men, General Stanley, in 1871, bad marched an expedition down tbe Nerth Fork of O'Fallon’s Creek. Leaving the Middle Fork and still bear... almost due west, we approached the valley of the South Fork ot 0’Fallon’s Crock. Here Reynolds, the guide, mistook his course, and the expedition made an Unnecessary detour to the south of a few miles, Ro- tracing our steps and finding acrossing of the South Fork, we encampod in a bend of this latter, for the first time in the march having an indifferent camp. Wood and water were good and abundant, but the araz- ing was not good. CUSTER TURNS GUIDE As there was no guilo, Indian or white man, who potnt across to Powder Riv it was decided that General Custer should guide the column, Taking with him a suflicient number of troops to mako a trail, as well as to enable him to leave men on prominent points as guides to the main column, the General startod at five o’clock in the morning, and after a most laborious day and a ride of probably filly miles he marked cut through the Bad Lands that border Powder River a practicable route for wagons, the distance over which from the camp of the preceding night was thirty-two miles, Custer reached Powder River about half- past three P, M. The main columo, under Terry, arrived and was snugly in camp on the right bank of Powder River before sundown. General Terry congrat- ulated Custer immediately upon his arrival opou his success as a guide, and remarked that, in coming along through the Bad Lands, he had not believed it possible that a practicable route could be found to Powdor River valley. The point reached in this latter was about twenty-five miles from its mouth. ‘The river itself 1s about 100 yards wide from bank to bank, and at this season of the year Is fordable in most Places by cavalry. The valley ts from one totwo miles wide, well timbered, ana running through, exclasive of e Bad Lands, an excellent grazing region. GENERAL, TERRY AT THE MOUTH OF POWDER RIVER. Tho following dny General Terry, taking Keogh’s and Moylan’s companies of the Seventh cavairy as es- cort, proceeded down the valley of the Powder to its mouth to assore himself that the steamer and sup- plies had arrived satoly ; also to ascertain if the scouts had succeeded tm reaching Gibbon, Terry’s brief absence left Custer in temporary command of the expedition, Grant's positive orders to the contrary of the Powder River he found the steamer and supplies from the stockade baa arrived and were awaiting our arrival, He also learnod that the two scouts who had attempted to reach Gibbon, on the leit bank of the Yel- lowstone, had found the Indians so namerous along the route as to be forced to return unsuccessful in their mission and minus the extra $200 with which success was to line their backskin pockets. A small party from Gibbon’s command, under Major Brisbin, Sec- ona cavairy, had descended the Yellowstone in a small boat in the night time and wero at the mouth of Powder River to communicate with General Terry. MERTING WITH OENRRAL GIBnON, ‘The latter, learning that Gibbon, with bis entire com. mand, Was only about thirty-five miles up the Yellow- stone, took the Far West and steamed up the river to Gibbon’s camp tur the purpose of having a conference ‘with that officer. It was then arranged that Gibbon shoukl, replenish his supplies from the stock on the oat, and then, in view of the movement of the Seventh cavalry on this side of the Yellowstone, he should Tetrace his steps and port his command in the Yellow. stone nearly opposite the mouth of the Rosebud River, thus to keep up a system of observation and prevent the forces of Sitting Bail from escaping across the Yel- lowstone, In caso they were pressed by the Seventh cavalry, This plan was concurred in by Terry, Gib- bon and Custer. SITTING BULL'S POSITION DEFINED—SCOUTING. Givbon’s scouts report that they swam the Yellow- stone River nvar the mouth of Rosebud Creek, and ad- vanced within miles of an immense Indian camp Posted along the valloy of the Rosebud. Gibbon at- tempted to cross his command for the purpose of at- tacking this village, but the rapidity of the carrent, which js hore sometbing like eight miles an hoar, pre- vonted him accomplishing his purpose, but not until he bad drowned horses in his atiompt. It ts against this camp that Caster will soon move, General Terry returned to the camp of bis column the following day. Fooling that he ought to send a scout up the Powder River to clear it of asy email de- tached bands of Indians wno might be Jerking awey from the larger villages, Terry decided to.send six companies of the Seventh Cavalry and one Gatheg gun under Lieutenant Lowe, all under Major Marenq te scout the Powder valley as far as the mouth a Little Powder, then to cross to the headwaters of Mit» pah Creek, move down that creek to near its mouth, then across to Pumpkin Creck, a tribatary of Tongue River, follow down the valley of that creek to its jane tion with Tongue River, then down the latter stream to the point where it empties into the Yellowstone, where by that time it is intended the main command will be, That portion of the expedition now bere will rest afew days, draw a sufficient amount of supplies, then march up the right bank of the Yéllowstone to the mouth of Tongue River, there to await the arrival of the Powder River scouting party. “It ts not believed that the later wil Gnd the Ludians, as.their present abiding place is not believed to boron Powder River, byt on the Rose bud. At the same time the steamer Far West will move up the Yellowstone with supplies, to the month of Tongue Rivor, at which point the principal move. ments of the expedition will be organized. THE FOLLOWING 18 THE PROGRAMIR from that point:—After the return of the six companice of the Seventh cavairy that have been sent up Powder, Custer will select nine companies of his regiment and a detachment of Indian scouts, and with a large train of pack mules, loaded with supplies for at least fifteen days, proceed up tho valley of Tongue River some distanco; then striking west will move quickly to the Rosobad River, upon which stream the Indians are re ported to bein heavy force; then down the valley of the Rosobud, At tho same time the remaining three companies of the Seventh cavalry, joined perhaps tothe four companies of the Second now with Givbon, the latter to be ferried across the Yellowstone, if necessary, will scout up the south valley of the Yellowstone, from the mouth of Tonguo River to the mouth of Rosebud; then up the valley of the latter until Cas ter's. column = is mot coming down, 80 that by these arrangements 17 will be seon that if Indians are anywhere in the vicinity where they are reported to be the prospect of discov- ering them is excellent, or to express it as I heard an Irish cavalryman put it the other day, “Thero’s moighty foin chanoo fur a fight or a foot race.” IN THR MEANTIME CROOK, notwithstanding the discovery he made a few months ago that the winters in this latitude are different from what he found thom in Arizona, several hundred miles south, is leading a column northward from the vicinity of Fort Reno and will scout the head waters of Powder and Big Horn rivers, so that the net is gradu. ally being thrown around the swarthy Sitting Bull But whethor the latter, notwithstanding his name, will sit long enough to onable his enemies to close ail the. meshes of the net 4 cut off his escapo is at present the military conundrum thas soroty ugitates the minds of the men and Jeaders of tho three exten- sive columns referred to, The result will probably be known tn this commard by the time this falls under the eye of your readers, COMMODORE VANDERBILT'S CONDI- TION.
