; Moving to Join Crook Mrs Cus-;

; New Yokk," July 18. A Bismarck, j
Dakota, dispatch of July 17, says: ;
'Sherman aod Sheridan certainly un
derestimate the .strength of. the hos
tile Indians. Sitting: Bull's band be
fore it was joined by Crazy Horse,
numbered 1,800 lodges and over 6,000
effectiye lighting force, and Crazy
Horse has proven himself strong'
enough to defeat Crook in every en
gagement without the aid of Sitting
Bull. Col Clarke, agent at Standing
Rock, who certainly is well informed
and not disposed to exaggerate , their
strength, estimates the fighting force
of the Sioux, at 10,000 and it should be
remembered that the women and chil
dren are not elements of weakness, for
every nine year old boy will handle a
gun, stone mallet or bow to better ad
vantage than a majority of recruits
handle their muskets. Squaws do
camp drudgery and are ready for bat
tle if their services are needed. Sit
ting Bull lost 150 and other bands near
ly as many in Custer's fight. The
Rees, at Fort Lincoln, mourned several
day 8 over Custer's death, cutting them
selves with knives and exhibiting genu
ine sorrrow in other ways peculiar to
Indians. One refused to mourn and
in the wildest manner called on Cus
ter's spirit to drive the Sioux from the
land. He insisted that his brave band
would do it."
The fact that Custer, though with
the expedition and nominally in com
mand of his regiment, had no com
mand whatever until after Reno's re
turn from his fruitless scout of the
20th, has not been made public. His
regiment divided into two wiugs, the
right under Reno, and the left under
Benteen, while Custer was left to wab
ble where he would without responsi
butty and without command. Much
of his time was spent with his broth
ers and a few trusty men, hunting and
scouting on his own account. Two or
three times he was called upon to find
passes through bad lands or moun
tains, and once Terry said no other of
ficer but Custer could have conducted
the command through the difficulties
which seemed insurmountable, so suc
cessfully. On the morning of June
22nd, Custer was given a command,
and those who knew him do not won
der that he tried to make the most of
it and hazarded all in theattemptto
conquer the Sioux without .assistance.
Ou Thursday next six companies of
ihe 22d regiment, two companies of
the 5th infantry and 100 recruits for
the 7th cavalry, will leave here tinder
command of Col Otis, of the 22d, to
reinforce Gen Terry. So lar no troops
have gone to his assistance.: Four
companies which were under his im
mediate command were promptly in
motion, and have been encamped here
for several days.; ; Unfortunately, Col
Smith, Gen Terry's Adjutant General,
left Fort Lincoln to return to the
scene of operations the day before
Col OtisJ arrived. As a result, the Coir
onel's command, which is largely
composed of. old Indian fighters, is
chafing under the delay.: However,
everything is being put in order, and
as soon as the balance of the force ar
rives", Col Otis will advance.

In reply to Conyer's argument on
ast Saturday, he declared that the use
of the army had never produced any
good effect; in such cases the troops
always got there after the occurrence.
The use of military power was an in
strument that was ineffective; cumber
some, slow and almost useless ; and in
spite of the good faith of army officers,
it had been converted into a monstrous
engine of political oppression and cor
rupt intrigue. It was the duty of Gov.
Uhamberlain at once to adopt meas
ures, swift and vigorous, to bring to
justice' those who shot down these
prisoners in cold blood, and if he did
that he wOuld receive his (Lamar's)
support and praise ; if instead of doing
so, however, Gov Chamberlain rushes
to Washington for the purpose of
making th:s occurrence the founda
tion for fanaticism and strife, he will
not stop that disorder. Arkansas was
an illustration, for the last two years
of the advantages of good govern,
ment under a firm and intelligent man
Gov Garland.
In conclusion, he declared that the
occurrence at Hamburg was a morbific
element, not sporadic, but natural, and
one that would disappear under good
government. The debate was further
continued by Kasson, of Iowa, Hart-
ridge, of Louisiana, Hale, of Maine,
and Mackey, of South Carolina. At
the close of the debate, Hancock, of
Texas, moved a substitute for Small's
amendment to the effect that no troops
shall be taken from any State or ser
vice where the public interest requires
their continuance. Smalls accepted
the substitute, and it was agreed to
86 to 83.
The report of Avery's pardon is of
ficially denied.
Chandler is only absent from the
Cabinet. On, dit, that he has gone to
Michigan to look after serious defection
in the German Republican sentiments.
Indian Agent Danforth has been in
structed to allow the Ute Indians to
leave their reservations to fight the
Sioux.
Bristow has written to Grant that the
sanctity of Cabinet conversations
cannot be waived by either or both
parties.

The defense of the, Texas border was

th at no troops shall be withdrawn from
South Carolina. In the course of the
debate, Lamar, of Mississippi,spoke of
the Hamburg affair as terrible and dis
graceful, but he . denied that the cir
cumstances were legitimate to the
point of debate in the House. There
were one or two facts, however, that
gleamed out indisputably: one of these
was that a body of ; white men had
without authority of law put to death
