The Hostile Sioux.
A dispatch from Bismarck j-ays Geo. Crook,
jpuxj liis camp on Goose Crevk, July 16. wrote
t , ijen. Terry as follows:
(jKNBRAL: I have tbe honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of July 6, brought
into this camp on the 12.h iustant by Corporal
Stewart's party of the 7th cavalry. I bud de
termined to attack the Indians immediately
alter the arrival of my supply train, but about
that time 1 learned the hostiles had received
reinforcements, and also learned at tbe same
time that I could get eight companies of the
f>th cavalry, so I concluded to defer movement
until the arrival of these companies, which
have now been ordered here. I expect to bo
joined by them about the last of the present
mouth. On tbe 5th instant I sent out a party
tif mounted troops uuder- Lieut Sibley. 2d cav
alry, to escort one of my guides, who was to
reconnoitre the oountry in our lront. V\ her.
they reuohed a point near where the Little Dig
Horn debouches from the mountains th y Ci>me
upon a large parly ot bostiles, and were cju
vinoed that the village of the main body ot bos
tile* was in tbat vicinity. Since then i have
had uothioR definite more than seeing large
smokes down the Powder and Tongue rivers,
hut am oi the opinion they are still iu_ the lo
eality before indicated by tbe reconnoissance.
1 have rations tbat will last me up to tho end
.,f September, and will share with you as long
a> u lasts, should tho two comui iuds come to*
geiher, whether Indians shall be found in this
or your department. 11 you think the inter
ests of the service will be advanced by ombi
uatiou L will most cheerfully serve under you.
When the 5th anive here I expect to have
Hi'out sixteen hundred fighting men, besidts
m.ui ? iriendly Indians, and it's my in ten
t.?'ii to leav-' my wagou train on 'longuc
nver, -iear where it comes out IromBiK Horn
nitiK't; so c<hould you not meet, an^ large train
..I In iians goint? down the river or not receive
any further information from them, it would
ptohably behest for you to move to my mil
I ly camp. We broke camp on the South Goose
ti is morning, and are going gradually along
font hills towards Tongue, and anticipate got
tins about as far as the nortti fork of Goose
ulu u the same time my reinforcements come
up.
A U:stuarck special of yesterday says the
suamer Carroll arrived this morning from Gen.
ferry's camp, having ou board Gen. Forsyth
at.d tweuty sick and wounded soldiers. I he
Curroll on her way up, when near tbe mouth of
Powder river, found the Indians on both sides
"f the river, and for two and a half hours they
kept up a running fire upon the boat, only
wouuditjg, however, one soldier slightly.
The steamer Far West, alter leaving Buford
for Terry's camp, found her load too heavy and
discharged part of cargo, principally arain,
about seventy-fivo miles from Bulord. O.i her
n-turn for the balance of her cargo the Indians
were found to have destroyed most of the grain,
and at this point the Indians attacked the tar
West. She had on board Col. Moore, with
three oompanies of soldiers. Ihe Indians
-t<H?d on both banks of the river and with oaths
ditnd Col. Moore with his troops to leave the
boat and land. A few shells were fired from a
tweive pounder, which scattered the Udians,
and tiny disappeared from the south bank.
l?aw Campbell, pilot of the Far West, with
two IJtes, then lauded au4 weut out to recon
noitre. but found that the Indians were en
?IcHVoring to out them ofF from the boat. I hey
turned their horses heads and started as fast as
as possible lor the boat. Seven Sioux had
cirdrd so as to intercept them, and it became a
racf fur dear life. The her?e of one ot the
scouts began to fall behind, aud was soon shot.
The scout started ou foot, but it was no us<\
Ihe same Sioux who had killed his horse soon
r-'ai'hed him aud aud put a bullet through his
lungs.
i. mupbell and the other scouts turned back
to lift the wounued man, but as they did so
tin y stw the Sioux dismounting. They fired
foul the Sioux fell with hisscalpiug-knife in his
ImiiJ. Dm aud the lloe then scalped ihe
?^i *ux and started with the wounded man lor
tin* Far West. During this time Col. Moore,
although with three companies, sent no one to
the relief of these three men. Finally Grant
Marsh, captain of the Far West, called for fit
t<vii volunteers. Fifteen soldiers immediately
offered their services, but Col Moore ordered
iln'iu not to leave the boat. However,^ eight
??I them, oootrary to orders, weut with C*ptaiu
Marsh and brought iu Campbell aud the two
?-emits. Col. Moore threatened to court martial
those eight men then and there. The stearn
t"?Ht men do not hesitate to pronounce Col.
Moure's couduot cowardly in the extreme.
'.?eneral Terry has fallen- back eighty miles
'row his camp on the Big Horn, and is now
cutuped neur the mouth of the K >sebud. Ihe
surr. u .ding country has been fired by the lu
^luuis, and prairie fires extending tor miles can
t?o seen iu every direction, lorry finds it diffi
l'j?lt to get grazing for horses. A scout lroin
?'"floral Crook reached General Terry August
barefooted aud almost destitute of clothing.
was but 75 miles from Geueral Terry s
^'tiiui'iud, and was trying to reach him Ihe
1 "linux, however, kept picking off his men,
I'ivinic in his scouts and stealing his stoek, so
}l'?t his advance was very much retarded, only
iviou able to maroh about six miles a d y.
I he men in both commands are reported very
toueh disheartened. Tho wator is very low iu

Your Regulator is one of the best family med

mine worth five hundred dollais.? [J.A Nelson.
Macon, Ga.
The Liver, the largest organ
in tbe bo !y, is generally the
seat of the disease, and if not
regulated in time groat guttering,
wretch etiaGss and DEATH will
ensue.
If you feel Dull, Drowst,
Demilitatkd, have fnqu?:it
Headache, McU'l'U Tastks bad

Torpid Liver or "Biliousness,''
