There is no truth in the assertion that General Sheri- dan intends to take the ficla im person. At least he has given no intimation of such a purpose in his communications with the General of the Army. As «the more immediate commander of the military division which embraces the seat of war, General Sheridan is beld responsible for the results of the campaign, but be has receivea no orders from Washington to take the field in person, nor bas any suggestion to that effect been made to him from official sources, In fact, as General Sherman said to-night when asked about the rumor that the Lieutenant General bad been ordered to go to the scene of operations, Gen- eral Sheridan is better able to ccntrol and man- age the campaign from Chicago — than be should be in the field, for the reason that with the telegraph lines converging at Chi- cago he can direct the movements of the troops from that centre with mucb more readiness than if he were isolated in the Sioux country with only a single wire behind him, ‘THE SITUATION. Otherwise the situation remains unchanged With Generals Gibbon and Terry united from the north aud west and with a junction formed by General Merritt with General Crook and a subsequent union of the entire force in the field effected by the second week in Augast, a blow will be struck tbat will be—as Gencral Sherman says—the boginning of the end of the Sioux. “It will be hard fighting, though,”’ he went on tosay. “The Sioux are the very best fighters of the Indian race, but Sheridan will wipe them outas be wiped out the Kiowas and Comanches two years ago.”? . ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE, Colonel Bacon, of General Sherman staff, went West suddenly by the early train this evening, and a good deal of significance was attached to bis doparture, the impression being created that ho was bearer of special despatches to General Sheridan. But it turned out later that he had gone away on leave of absence to visit his family and in search of rest after protracted service at army headquarters, NEWS FROM CROOK—AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF REINFORCEMENTS, Wasiucrox, July 24, 1876, The following despatches wero received last even+ bat Cmcaco, July 23, 1876, To General W.

The requisite two-thirds was wanting to sus- pend the rules, but the majority of fifty in this vote has greatly encouraged the currency and sliver infla- tionists, and they will doubtless exert themselves with fresh zeal to-morrow to secure the passage of Mr, Bland’s bill, reported from the Mining Committee last week, making a double standard of coin values and making the silver dollar unlimited legal tender, THE CHINESE QUESTION—A COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THE CHARGES.
