A dispatch to the New York Herald from Qeneral Crook's military cola ma at Ciood Peak Camp, W. T.f via Fort Fetjermact ays: A reconnoitering party of thirty persona under, the command of Second lieutenant Frederick W. S.bley, ol the Secoad cavalry, was sent from this camp on July 6 They were to observe the movements and position of the Sioux, and If possible the whereabouts of Terry. Oj the 9tb they returned on toot, a'ter a terrible ifctrea- of two nights and one day. Tbey were surrouoded by the enemy in prodigious numbers, and ouly escaped miraculously by the sacrifice of all their equipment? excepting: arms and ammunition, including thirty-one pickt-d saddle horses and two mules. Bat for the sagacity and caution of guides Gruird and Baptists, and the judgment and gallantry of Sibley, no one would have survived. The handful of men left oar camp in broad daylight, with a at ringe absence ot precaution, for which somebody euberior to 8bley In Yank Is responsible. It being usual to disguise such movements uod-r the shelter of darkness. Tney marched all nigh ol the 8 b, toward the sources of the Little Big Horn. Oa the 7th, a ter a slight meal, which attcrwatd sived them from perishing, tbey pursued their course through some foot bills verging toward the mou otaln. The conformation of the cavalry was extremely TAVORABLB TO AI AMBUSCADK. At about balf-pist 4 a large body of Sioux was espied from the top Of the Uuff, marching eastward. They seemed to spread all over the plain, and evidently were moving to attack the camp on Goos creek. Lieut. Sibley's party remained concealed and in horrible anxiety for an hour watching their movements. Son a tremendous shout warned them that tee trail tbey seemed to be looking for was found. Qaieklj hundreds of savages were crowded upon it, and et out noon the chase at a full canter, utteriDg those terrible wolfl-th crie-9 peculiar to the Si mx and Cbeyennes. TbeeomUng party mounted and galloped toward the m uotalns, the S.oux yelling a, they caught a glimpse of ttm like hounds ou the scent. They seemed to be ds'ancd in the race, but bad broken into two bodies, and were making a double circuit to gain the high points wb cb they knew the pursued must pa-is. The scouting tarty cl mned the outer ride, and were 'approaching shelter about noon, trotting qaietly through a ravine, ween suddenly a volley of fifty snots was poured from trie surrounding rcckv 8 opea, where the savages were mssed, while as many m r8 of them Charged down them like fury. Erery rnsn of tbe little party felt de-ptir chilling hitn. Tbey wheeled arid galloped fr the timber In the valley, lo!lortd bv a volley. B-fore they reached shelter three nors3 were wounded. THKT DISMOUNTED OS A KNOLL covered by a grove, and couli saa the enemy swarming on the foothills bslow, while constant reicforcroeut gained tee higher points aronnd them. A plunging fire tore the foliage from th-) puies, and as their numbers thickened ta roar of the TOlleys was perfectly dafnin2. The bullets were all ton high, bot thf enemy were gradually perrc iugfeir aim, and notched the trees close ab ut their beul'. Tb . leading cbie' wa ciothed in wjtta buckskin, and called cut ia tue Cheyenne tongue: "You ar nos the only people in this country." He was undoubtedly the celebrated White Ante op-, a Southern Cheyenne. All the to deat attacking warriors eeemed to about Cheyenne war cries, while the more timid, wno fired frota rocks, uttered Sioux ej iculations. Tbo tuBilade continued an. hour, the scou s replying seldom, in order to save ammunition, when siddenly tb-re was a lull, .seeming to p irtend some new miscbie', the guides declaring that death was certain, and swore to end thoir own Uvea rather than under c.p'ure and torture. Sibley delivered a harangue of twentywords to fcis iren, to which they responded et u ly. He kld them there were tw alternatives t do honorably or to fsoape ronorb!y. Gruard declared that if there was a coward among tbecn bo won 11 be ehot rather than the enemy. A brief cunc 1 was beM, and by the advice cf the guides they determined to a't-mp to ecapa further into the mountains, leaving their bors-is to engage the attention of the Sioux, tied to the trees. All the arpmiinUio'i was taken from the Saddles. Tre p rtv then moved stealthily from the ground and SASHED BEHIND THB PROJECTING BOCK?. The Sioux did not see them, and they climbed up and up, over elipDery precipices, until exhausted. While res'ing, tbey heard firing recommence louder than ever, and knew all tbeir horses would probably be killed, and he a sorry prizs for their captors. The volleys were terrific, the Sionx thinking they still had tbem in tber clntcbe s The scoots resumed tbeir clamberinr; the carbines wre banded od the rocks from hand to hand. Had the Sioux pursued them on the grim he'ghts tbat frowned upon tbem tbey could have crushed them with bou'dera which were prised ready to fall. Tbey contlnaed to hesr th aoand of rtfla ortil It died away In the distance. Thev tolled over mountains utll dawn of July 8, renting ander the cHfi. ; Tbey once more abandoned hope w ben they saw a large band of Sionx among the foothills moving as If to In'ereept them. Ir, however, turned toward the Tongue river, and they supposed It to be the rear guard of tbe larger force which had been advancing to attack either a cam p or a wagon train. Tbeir hunger was great, as tbey had abandoned all their ration. From dusk tbey scrambled along the sides of tbe mountains all tbe night. About dtwn on the 9 h tbey reached the bank of Tongue river. Two men were se worn oat that tbey eould not ford tkewltand deep current, Tbey therefore bid themselves In tbs thickets and were le t. O-e of them was erased by exhaustion and far. ' A lew ml lee farther south the 8'oux were seen, bnt, luckily, toe fugitives escaped observation. Four miles from camp a '

packer, who was hauling, loaned his mole to one of the scouts, and news was carried to Col. Royall, who was commandlog during Oen. Crook's absence on a hunt. Two companies of cavalry wer sent out with horses to bring tbem In. Bstore meeting tbe relief they were so fatigued tbey could only march one hundred yards without IS PP150 05 THK GROUND. On the night of tbe 8th tbe Sioux, supposed to be the main body, were seen by Lieut. Sibley's command. On tbe same day tbey attempted to steal horses from this camp, and were fired upon by tbe pickets. Oa the night of the 10' h the Sioux set tira to tbe grass at tbe eastern end of tue camp. The flames gathered like fury and swept the hills east ol tie camp, making a tremendous smoke. Fortunately tbe wind ws favorable to us. It la believed that al tbe grass has b-en burned alocg the. Tongue and R.sebud rivers, tbe atmosphere has been very murKy. In c b sequence of tbe absence ol Gen. Crook at the time of bis return no force bad been sent to meet tbe Sioux band reported bv Lieut Sihlet . In the opinion of the subordinate t ffliers of this column tbe can paign has a gloomy future espect. Toe diasatis action of tbe Sbosnonea at the management of our fight of June 17 is not yet appeased, but tbey ard willing to test an alliance of troops once more. Two hundred Utes and a number of Bannocks are reported as willing to j )in u, but their coming Is tar from being aasured. Uen. Terry assured Oen. Crook toat if ne will ) in him he will not assume any superior authority on account of eeuiority of rank. Unless General Cooke accedes, otbtr disasters may be anticipated. Tbe messengers from tbe camp on the Yellowstone Bay that the Sioux village was destroyed. but toe official diaptcb contains no iuco statement. Tbe guides who accompanied Sibley believe tbere i a large village on the Little Big Horn near tbe old government road. Tbe village attacked by Custer is supposed to have ren tbe one removed from the Rosebud after or duricg tbe fight of June 17. Sioux new serenade this camp every night witb bullets aud are watching us very closely. AN AWFUL DEATH.

HYDROPHOBIA FR 'M THE BITE OF A DOG ElOHT MONTHS AGO. The Chicago Tribune says: The medical fraternity has long been divided upon the question as to whether tbe bite of a dog, not known to be rabid, necessarily resulted in hydrophobia. Yesterday a case happened within tnis city th&r, will go far towards convincing any one or skeptical ideas that tbe bite of a cauine may result fatally montts after its infliction, and at the same time msy serve as a ltsson to physicians who are in the babit of treatiug such tnjaries in tbe most trivial manner. Tb9 cae referred to is the decease of a young man named Patrick O'Neil, which transpired at 1 o'clock ye-teraay morning at tbe Sisters' Hosuital, on tbe corner oi Calumet aveDueand Treaty-sixth street. O'Neli was a youn man of good moral Labite, only two years in this country, and nd been employed at tbe grocery i Patrick O'Connor, on the c .rner of Loo uns and Taylor streets. Ltst November be was bitteo upon tbe 1-K thumb by a small terrier do, owned by his employer, aod, although the wound inflicted was severe, not much notice was take l of it. Tbe don ws destroyed, and tbe wound dres-sed by Dr. L;e. It healed rapidly, giving no trouble at all to the young man, aud rrthingwn' touhtol the matter until last Friday evening, when THB POO a FELLOW AWOKE to find himself barking like a dog, and suffering the mcst ictense pain, which was augmented into crazinees at the sight of any bright substance or water. Consciousness remained until almost the last, enabling toe unfortunate yourg man to give directions for bis own comfort, and to tell his troubles to thoe ol his friends wbo were near him. By Saturday hia malady bad developed to such an extent that he was removed to the Slaters' Hospital, on tbe corner of Calumet avenue and Twebt)sixth street, and there be lingered out the little lite left in him. From tbe moment of tbe first symptom of tbe disease bis body knew no rest, aod the poor victim kept up a moat tearful howling and barking uutil toe moment of bin death. By bis own. direction be was tied firmly to the bed, handcuff!, and padded, to prevent himself from beirg torn to bits in bis frenzied mania for biting all that came before him. He begged repeatedly to be smothered pr shot, and when life became so faint that tbe brain tailed to act, he rlaped into a spasm sucn as the canine race exhibit when in tbe last stages of poisoning. O'Xeil was only 20 years of age, and bus no relatives other than an uncle In th's country. He was a member of S . Pa'rick's Benevolent Society, and by tbem be will be buried at 10:30 to-day from tue hospital. DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. ENGLISH M. P.'e COM I. NO TO OUR CBNTKSMAL JOHN BEUOHr CAN SOT COME.

TBE MAN IS MAD.

Presidential Worry and the Effects of Sour Mash Give Hiram the Hydrophobia. THE RESULT. HIS PHTSICIA1 PRESCRIBES IMMEDIATE BKL4X4TION FROM HIS BOTTLE A5D A CH4OS(.PDRlNKI. Under tbe above inspired headlines tbe Chicago Times publishes a special telegram from Washington: The Republicans here eeiz? most greedily upon tie sorifs that are now ta.ted of everywhere that Grant' mind has become impaired by tbe constant draic upon his physical health produced by his excessive fast living duriug the last year or so. He has become very gross, and although below medium height ne weighs upward ot 180 pounds. He has a bloated, j ided look, ibat has been Intensified by the lt fewdayso' beat. Tbe reason why the Republicans an so anxious to circulate and believe these stories Is tnat tuey explain satisfactorily Grant's excessive rudeness and his a'tempts to utterly ruin his civil service by outraging, Insulting and dismissing all of THB BEST MEN in the government employ. Several senators have called upon the president within the last we k for the purpose of remonstrating with him upon tbe course that be has pursued In relation to the per emptory removal of people wbo have been prominent In tbe prosecution of tbe wh sky ring. To each of tbem be has been so morose, so savage, and so utterly indifferent to tven tbe common laws 01 politetiesthat nearly all of his visitors explain bis extraordluary conduct upon tb ground tbat be Is really not bimself. A physician wbo is fecmewb&t familiar witb his physical condition in analyzing tbe terrible strain tbat GRANT'S SYSTEM has to endare enumerates the following: In the first place, he is an excessive smoker. He smokes upon an average 15 Reina Victoria c'gars of the strongest brand a day. Without charging tbe president with drlDking to an excess, it is a well known and established fact tbat he Is whit is known as a steady drinker. B9'ore breakfast, upon rising, be tks stimulants, and before ecb meal a stimulants, and duriug the evening wben be sits talkiog witb bis friends, bis o d cronies, who gather around bim, tbe black bottle is one ot tbe most cberlsbed objects with Grant. Tbe climate in Washington ia summer is one thai requires tbe most CONSTANT AND WATCHFUL CARE to retain health. Tbe heat la almost constant. Tbere is very little relief felt from the 1st of June to a, least the 1st of Sep tember. The nights of June and July are almost as warm as In tbe day. Persons wora ont and prostrated by thofX'reme beat of the day, find when night comes no rest. All of toe physicians wbo practice in this climate especially warn people Mgainst tne usa of stimulants during this torrid period. Simeotthe most dangerous cases of illness have been occasioned by people when felin ill from beat rusbing t some simulant to ward oil lbs tflrC's of sudden depression. Tbe class wbo suffer the most alarming effect frotn boat and the dubiil tatlng iofluauce or tnis climate la made up of people aadic ed to THE ViB OF STIMULANTS. It Is slated upon very good medical authority that if the president were obliged to perform the average duties of a member of Congress be would not have lived as lon as he ba. Tbe White House is in one of the coolest parts of town. By remaining in it and abstaining from going about he bas in a measure es aped tbe I r strating effects of the season; but during tbe last tew days he has con.pNined bitterly of Congress. For the first time since his election as president he has been FORCED TO REMAIN HERE. His previous custom bas been to go to the seaside on the 1st ot June and return only on the 1st ot tbe following October. Tbe peculiar condition ot mind exhibited by me president, briefly analyzed, presents tbe following features. lie Is m tos, solemn, and at times even savage. He shuns Ms most intimate Iriendsif tbey desire bim to talk, and is restless and imperious at any attempt to adv seor control Dim. Just at present be can not go away from the city for any length of time on account of bis necesaerv presence hern in ait ndance opm Congress. He was taken away tnis morning trr m tbe city in tbe coo. piny of Htcretary iinn to VISIT DEER PARK, a mountain resort near here, and it is expected tbat be will not return until Monday. It is boped by making this visit and abstaining frm bis customary amount of stimulants be may be tided tbrougb. However, it he is obliged to remain ia this city much longer and any great strain is brought to bear upon him, Senator Forry 'a chances to become chief magistrate of the Lation may be cor sllered good. THE SAKATOUA CONFERENCE. TILDEN AND HENDRICKS IN CONSULTATION A PfcRFKCT AGREEMENT BKTWEEN THK TWO NOMINEES. The Saratoga special to the New York World says that: The consultation between Gov. Tilden, Gov. Heodrlcas and the committee appointed to notify tbem of tbeir nomination, bas ended. Gov. Hendricks lett last nlgbt for Indiana, and Is to return here again, with Mrs. Hendricks, in about ten days. Gov. Tilden left tbia morning tor Albany. The consultation resulted in a perfect agreement between the two nominees, and a full noderatandiug in reference to tbe letters of acceptance. Tbe etorles of a failure to o. me to an agreement have no foundation whatever, nor is tbere now any doubt about Governor Hendricks accepting. Tne statements made ty the lai ter to bis friends atter tbe consultation closed leave no d'utt on that point. Governor Tilden's letter of accep auce will not be given to the public lor t least ten days, if ii la for two weeks. Sufficient bas traue pired in reference to 1 be talk over tbe p ilots to indicate tha it will be a strong letter one that will give t-De and vigor to tbe canvasa. Reform will bone of its strong features, and at the same time THERE WILL BE NO UNO OBTAIN UTTERANCES In reference to tbe fioanclal question. The Indiana Democrats who weie here

with Mr. Hendricks declare that there ha

been a complete revolution in sentiment n tbat state s nce the ad) urnment of tbe St. Louis Convention ard tbat tbey now blieve, from the developements, tbat Mr. Tilden will prove to be stronger than his patty in tnat ata e. Ia that statement Gov. Heed ricks is reported to Lave coincided. Prominent Denoocrata are oere from diflerent sections of the -state, some ot them were at St. Louis opposing Mr. Tilden's nomination, and tbey all report an enthsiain for tbe ticket seldom witnessed. Th:s is especially the case tbrongtout tbe interior, northern aud wes ern pinions or the Hate. There seems to be a prevailing sentiment in favor of tbe nomination of Horatio Soy moor lorgovernor Ifanvaesarancecan b obtained tbat he will scc pt, It isdoubttul if a. y other name wrl bw presented.

THE BE POSSIBILITY THRO CO H A TECHNICALITY. To the Editor of the Sentinel: , Sir Tbe Hon. Jobn Hanna, Republican candidate tor congressional honors in this district, made a r-pgech In this city last Saturday evening, in which be arraigned tbe Democratic party as being tbe n sponsible tody PDlit c lor all the ills with wbicb the country Is ffl cted past, pres ent and prospective. Mr. Hanna took occasion to speak very disparagingly 0 Democratic "reform" under tbe leadership or wbat be was pleated to call "Jobn Morrissey." A little ventilation ot Mr. Uanna's own character is now in order, as be called especial attention to btm-self, as teirg a man of 'lonnr and Integrity, Ia tbo Putnam Circn t C urt, on tbe 25tb day of Siptemotr, 1S72, Sarsh Cartr recovered judgment aHinst Nancy E.

The 6herlfl being interviewed, eays be called oa Mr. lisnna a lime or two in rtgsrd to the execution, and ibfct he was informed by bim it wis 4 matter be bad nothing to do witb, that it was his wilt's debt and he woulu not pay It. It Is understood tbat thej ortipn of the debt for whico Jeuuiugs w&a responsible wmS paid by that individual without distress or ele by tbe efcer.ff. Tbe entire debt was discnarged, at aiy rate, by tbe sureties.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY ABOUT IT. THE PRESIDENT'S FREAK. N. Y. Times. Postmaster Jewell bas been turned out of tbe cabinet with as little ceremony as if he had been a serving man ia the president's household. Mr. Jöwell may have dt served this treatment, but if he did, tbe president owes it to the country to explain bow. If bis resignation was demanded oat of. mere . caprice, or from some motive which the president Is ashamed. to avow, Oen. Grant has pat biir selfia a position where his party will b) obliged to resign him to tbe indulgence of a perverse humor, for whose freaks they mus. decline any responsibility. i Morton's man tyner. New York Sun. So Jewell, soubbed and turned out, gives up his place in tbe cabinet to James M. Tyner of Indiana, lately second assistant postmaster general. Tyner has been promoted at tbe intauce ot Senator Morton, and is sn Indiana politician of tbe Morton stripe. He will not trouble the president with any pretens of reforming anvthinft. He will not Interfere with the pres dent's irieods or their interests. He will not thwart tbe president's will in regard to the BDDOlmmeni 01 nis suDorainates. u will not criticise tbe president's conduct In any respect. He will not prevent the rtügs tr m seizing tneir piunaer. tie win not torn tbe cold shoulder to Sbrpberd or Spencer. Tbere is another thing not less Important about bim.

He will be an efficient man in setting np things for the Indiana election of next October. - CLOSE UP THB COLUMN. . Philadelphia Times. Tyner la a useful man, bred In Morton's own tchool ef Indiana politics, and what be dees not know about running an election he is ready to learn of tale associa'e, tbe secretary of war. He bas dodc jf these new-fangled notions about bon esty and capacitv and care for tbe public interests, to emfcanass bim.
