Lonpon, July 15, 1876, All fears of a general European war have almost ‘ntirely disappeared here since ‘the publication of Earl Derby's speech in reply to the deputation of liberals who waited upon him yesterday in relation to England's policy on the Eastern question. ANTICIPATIONS OF PEACE. Many people, who are well informed on all matters | relating to the East, anticipate that the war will 800n be closed by means, most probably, of a general amnesty to the insurgents. THE SERVIANS DISAPPOINTED. ‘The Servians are disappointed because Russia has not oome to their assistance, as they hoped she would when tpey resolved to take the field, and do not feel sanguine of being able to fight the Turks single-handed. STRENGTH OF THE CONTESTA’ ‘They have put forth nearly all their strength and faxea their resources to the very utmost, while Turkey is gathering troops every day and concen- trating them at the scene of action. THE OTTOMAN ARMY. Turkey has 210,000 men in the fleld, and 50,000 more will soon depart frum Constantinople for the theatre of war, making the disproportion between the contending armies 80 great as to leave almost no chance for the weaker side except some other Power comes to their assistance. PATRIOTISM OF THE TURKS. It is remarkable what energy and patriotism have been developed among the Turks by the war. In Constantinople and in many other cities oficiais have given a month’s pay to the army. and women are devoting their jewels to the public service. SERVIA’S ONLY CTANCE. ‘The only possible chance for Servia to prolong the confiict would be a great victory in the field.

Three couriers, James Bell, William Evans and | Benjamin Steward, privates, of the Seventh in- fantry, arrived in this camp this morning from Gen- eral Terry’s camp, on the Yellowstone, near the mouth of the Big Horn River. They started on the 9th and made the most daring ride on record, through the stronghold of the Sioux, in three nights and two days. They brought a} despatch from General Terry to General Crook recounting the details of the massacre of General Custer and his command on the 25th and Colonel Reno’s fight, and rescue The whole namber of casualties was 368 soldiers and 14 officers killed and 60 wounded. AN IMMRNSE INDIAN TRALL, Terry caused/a reconnaissance made southward | on June 28, and a very large Sloux trail was found diverging from the one followed by Custer in his ad- vance. Captain Ball, of the Second cavalry, is of opinion that the enemy, after leaving the valley where the village was, were divided into two bands, one going toward the mountains and the other going southwest. TERRY CANNOT MOVE WITHOUT REINFORCEMENTS. General Terry says that the shattered condition of the Seventh cavalry regiment and the damage done bis small pack train are such that he has retired to his present position tv refit. He has sent for horses and mules to remount the cavairymen, and for a reinforcement of two companies of infantry. He has twice tried to communicate with this column, but each time HIS SCOUTS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN BACK. The great and expected strength of the Sioux makes it important and necessary to unite for co- operation. From the ignorance of the whereabouts of General Crook he is unable to propose a pian, but requests him to communicate one which he offers to adopt. EXPECTS TO MOVE SOON. General Terry expects the return of his supply steamer from Fort Lincoln on the 18th of July, and | hopes to move soon afterward with fifteen ortwenty | days’ provisions. Should he move to Rosebud he | will take his wagons with him. CROOK'S REINFORCEMENTS. General Crook's column has received reinforce: | ment of 213 Shoshone scouts who arrived yesterday under their old chief, Washakie. The supply train will arrive to-day witn five fresh companies of in- | fantry. General Sheridan has proffered a whole regiment, but it will not be available for THE XEXT MOVEMENT. ‘The column will be provisioned for an absence of fifteen or twenty days from the base of supplies, and will join or co-operate with General Terry if practicable. General Crook seems Father to favor separate operations, but it is certain that the united | munition, when suddenly there was a Inll, seem- | ammunition was taken from the saddles.

Ail other Indian wars sink into insignificance compared with this. This coiamn will not move before a week. ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE. A reconnoitering party of thirty persons under the command of Second Lieutenant Frederick W. Sibley, of the Second Cavairy, was sent from this camp on July & They were to observe the move- ments and position of tle Sioux, and if possible the On the 9th they returned on foot after @ terrible retreat of two nights and one day. They were strrounded by the enemy in prodigiows numbers, and only escaped miraculously by the sacrifice of all their equipment excepting arins and ammuni- tion, including thirty-one picked saddles horses and two mules. But for the sagacity and caution of guides Gruard and Baptiste, and the judgment and j gallantry of Sibley, no one would have survived, 1 AN UNKORTUNATR MISTAKE. | ‘The handful of men lef our camp in broad day- light, with a strange absence of precaution, for which somebody superior to Sibley in rank is responsible, it being usual to disguise such move- | ments under the shelter of darkness, | THEY MARCHED ALL NIGHT of the 6th, toward the sources of the Litue Big Horn. On the 7th, after a slight meal, which after- ward saved them from perishing, they pursued their course through some foot hills verging toward the mountains. The conformation of the cavairy was extremely favorable to an ambuscade. THE SIOUX COVERED A WIDE PLAIN. At about haif-past four a large body of Sioux was expied from the top of the bluf, marching ¢: ward. They seemed to spread ali over the Plain, and evidently were moving to attack he camp on Goose Creek. Lieutenant Sibley’s party remained concealed and in hornble anxiety for an hour watching their movements. Soon a tremendous shout warned them that the trail they seemed to be looking for was found. Quickly hundreds of savages were crowded upon it, and set out upon the chase at a full canter, utter- ing those terrible wolfish cries peculiar to the Sioux | and Cheyennes, THE SIOUX CHASE THEM. ‘The scouting party mounted and galloped toward the mountatus, the Sioux yelling as they caught a glimpse of them like hounds on the scent. They seemed to be distanced in the race, but had broken into two bodies and were making a double circuit to gain the high points which they knew the pur- sued must pass. The scouting party climbed the outer ridge and were approaching shelter about noon, trotting quietly through a ravine, when sud- denly s A VOLLEY OF FIFTY SHOTS was poured from the surrounding rocky slopes, where the savages were massed, while as many more of them charged donw them like fury. Every man ofthe little party felt despair chilling him. They wheeled and galloped for the timber in the valley, followed by @ volley; before they reached shelter three horses were wounded. A FRARFUL ASPECT FOR SIBLEY’S PARTY. They dismounted on a knoll covered by a grove, and could see the enemy swarming on the foot hills below, while constant reinforcements gained the higher points around them. A plunging fire tore the foliage from the pines, and as their num- bers thickened, the roar of the volleys was perfectly deafening. The bullets were all too high, but the enemy were gradually perfecting their alin, and notched the trees close about their heads. The leading chief was clothed in white buskin, and called out in the Cheyenne tongue:— “You are not the only people tn this country.” He was undoubtedly the celebrated White Ante- lope, a Southern Cheyenne. All the boldest attack- ing warriors seemed to shout Cheyenne war cries, while the more timid, who fired from rocks, uttered Sioux ejaculations. THE FUSILADE OONTINURD AN-HOUR, the scouts replying seldom, in order to save am- ing to portend some new mischief, the guides declaring that death was certain, and swore to end their own lives rather than suffer capture and tor- ture. Sibley delivered a harangue of twenty words to his men, to which they responded stoutly. He told them there were two alternatives—to die hon- orably or to escape honorably. Graard declared that if there was a coward among them he would be shot rather than the enemy. A DESPERATE EXPEDIENT. A brief council was held, and by the advice of the guides they determined to attempt to escape further into the mountains, leaving their horses to engage the attention of the Sioux, tied to the trees. All the then moved stealthily from the ground and dashed Deliind the projecting rocks. The Sioux did not see them, and they climbed up and up, over slippery precipices, until exhausted. While resting they heard firing recommence louder than ever, and knew all their horses would probably be killed, and be a sorry price for their captors. THE VOLLEYS WERE TERRIFIC, the Sioux thinking they still had them in their clutches. The scouts resumed their clambering; the carbines were handed up the rocks from hand tohand. Had the Sioux pursued them on the grim heights that frowned upon them they could have crushed them with boulders which were poised ready to fall. They continued to hear the sound of rifles until it died away in the distance. They toiled over mountains until dawn of July 8, resting under the clifa They ONCE MORE ABANDONED HOPE when they saw alarge band of Sioux among the foothills moving as if to intercept them. It, how- ever, turned toward the Tongue River, and they supposed it to be the rear guard of the larger force which had been advancing to attack either @ camp or & wagon train. Their hunger was greut, as mey had ubandoned all their rations. From dusk they scrambled along the sides of the mountains all the night. About dawn on the 9th they reached the bank of Tongue River. TWO MEN WERE 80 WORN OUT They therefore hid themselves in the thickets and were left. One of them was crazed by exhanstion and fear. A few miles further sonth the Sioux were seen, but, luckily, the fugitives escaped obser- vation. SAVE AT LAST. Four miles from camp a packer, who was hauling, | loaned his mule to one of the scouts, and news was carried to Colonel Royall, who was commanding during General Crook's absence on a hunt. Two companies of cavalry were sent out with horses to bring them in. Before meeting the relief they were so fatigued they could only march 100 yards without dropping on the ground.

GENEBAL CROOK'S ABS In consequence of the absence of General Crook at the time of his return no force had been sent to Meet the Sionx band reported by Lieutenant Sibley. | In the opinion of the subordinate oMicers of this | column the campaign has a gloomy future aspect. ‘The dissatisfaction of the Shoshones at the man- | agement of our fight of June 17 isnot yet appeased, but they are willing to test an alliance of troops once more.

Unless General Crook accedes, other disasters may be anticipated.

T. Wasuinotos, July 15, 1876. Private advices received here from Bismarck, D. T, convey information that the Indiana have recently appeared opposite that town, op the other side of the river, Considerable apprehension was felt among the settlers, but as the troops ordered up to reinforce General Terry and Crook touched there on their way to join the forces in the field, it is thought that the Indiana were deterred for the time being from molesting the settlers, Allthrough Minnesota great apprehension is felt lest the Indians at the agencies, when going thence.on the war path, will make a doscent on the frontier towns, THE UTES WANT TO FIGHT.

LETTER FROM AN EX-SURGEON OF THE SEVENTH | CAVALRY, | Reapixc, Pa, July 11, 1876 To tax Epitor ov Tar HERALD:— In the Hexatp of to-day I notjoced an editorial men- toning a subject of which I had intended writing you before, Ihave reference to the “source whence tho Sioux obtained their arms and ammunition."” The wholesale slaughter of a few weeks ago might bave been prevented had the Indians been under the con- trol of the Wer Department, The officers stationed along the Upper Missouri knew of the illegal trading carried on at Fort Pest, but were powerless, and had no authority to interfere. Since 1872 some partics had stationed themselves at the above named fort for the purpose of obtaining the monopoly in bartering with the Sioux, and the only inducement to bring their | customers forward was the offer of arms—Winobester rifles. The Indians, being only too anxious to secure these, exchanged alt the -bufalo robes and pelis collected during their hunting excursions, took them to Fort Peck, and received their arms, though paying dearly for them, The price usually paid fora rifle was 300 robes, an equivalent of $2,400; thas the firm sent down the river 12,000 buffalo robes, beside other skins and pelts, as the result of one season's traffic. Now these very Indians were registered at Grand River Agency, now at Standing Rock, where they should bave taken their goods, but betng limited to certain varieties of trinkets, &c, they preferred going north. Colonel J. ©. O'Connor, who waa agent during 1872 and 1873, was ordered to pro- hibit the sale of ammunition upou his reservation, lim- iting the trader, however, to the salo of two pounds of lead and powder each per week to such Tudians only who had shown themseives iriendly.
