On the 18th Governor Wallace asked the war department for arms and .minority to raise men to fight.

Lieutenant Wright, of the Ninth cavalry, with part of his compay, some volunteers, and Nevada Joe, a scout, had a resultless skirmish with the Indians.

While the snrronndlng towns hava only SOritles in place. The volunteers dispersed the indiaus, aud 'raised the siege. The Indians have gone to the Florida mountains, 39 miles south of Fort Cumming, where they can easily go into Mexico. Major Morrow, near Jonas, tsO miies from here, has sent for 30 days pi o visions. Most cf the warriors from the Mesolero agency joined the hoaliles. Arrival of Those Wounded in the l ight With Indians at Milk Creek. Rawlins, Wy., Oet. IS.

None of the wounded as first reported have died. The party had stormy weather on the road, and rain began falling at Fortification ereek and continued several days. The command was nine days on the road. j The War Against the Hostile Reds. Washington, D. C, Oct. is In consequence of tbe stormy weather which has set In on the route between Rawlins and White River agency, and of tbe retreat of the hostile Utes over tbe mountains southward from the latter point, it has been determined to relinquish the former purpose of reinforcing General Meritt by a direct line from the l. nlon Fsclnc railroad, bnt orders haire.been issued by General Sherman far an immediate concentration of troops near Alamasa and Hugasa, CoL, with a view of joining Oeneral Me ntt's forces and of co-operating with him In the Uncompogne region In case the scene of hostilities shall have shifted thus far southward. No advices have been received at army headquarters, either from M emu's command or in regard -to tbe Apache disturbances in New Mexico. It is believed, however, that the latter will be speedily quelled, as General Merritt, if be fails tooverta&e tbe marauding Indians, will uq doubtedly drive them over the bolder into Mexico, ' The Indians fiappy, Wichita, Ks , Oct. 18. Wild HO, Old Crow and other Cheyenne Indian prisoners, released at Lawrence, arrived her last nigat. They were met by a large delegation o f Uhevennes and their squaws, just tip from the agency after supplies, and there was great rejoicing among tne sons and daughters o'tbe plains after the long separation Between and 4) Cheyenne and Arrapaboe boys are here en route to the school for Indians in Pennsylvania. The Campaign Against the I'te Indiana at an End. WASinnoTON, Oct. 1 The following dispatch is published here to day: . . . . J Chicaoo, Oct. IS. To Genera Sherman : Oeneral Merritt says In a dispatch Just received that be intends to march in pursuit of the hostile Indians to Grand river, on the 15th, and Irom th-re to the Uncompahgoe agency, where he requests supplies to be sent, bubsequen tiy your d Ispatch of October lit was sen t him, with orders t- obey the instructions therein given, and I presume this will stop htm. Your dispatch should have reached him on the 15th. General Mer itt and General Crook, the department commanders, are at a loss to know what to do, and so am I. There are 1,300 or 1.600 men at White river. Their road to the - Unoompahgne agency la over tbe main range of the Rocky Mountains, and is. very bad, and the danger of being caught by winter snows should be seri'uiv entertained. We went to the White River agency at thesolicltation of tbe Indian bureau, whose agent was murdered and our men killed and wounded, and now we are left in the heart of the mountains with our hands tied and tbe danger of being snowed in staring us in the face. I am am not easily dlseouraeed, but it 1 oks as though we had been pretty badly .old out in this business. It is folly to say that tbe murderers of tbe agent and Colonel Thorn burg must be punished. How are they to be punished Who is going to punish them, and bow long are the troops to wait at the agency for it to be done? I will direct Crook to throw Into the ageney all tbe supplies he possibly can, as the ony coarse leit open. f. n. ishrsidaw. Lieutenant General. Since the receipt of the above dispatch from General Hbendan, he bas been directed by General Sherman to withdraw the troops cnder General Merritt and order them to t elr proper saltans, leaving at the White River agency only a sufficient cumber of men to guard the Government properly. The trooos now at White River agency belong to the department of the Platte, and will, under this oraer, witu ue exception or vnose lei t at the agency, return to tneir respective stations ttt that department. A force will be concentrated at some point In the Southern Cte reservation to conduct the operations against that tribe should toey rji to deliver up tbe parties en caged in the killing of Thornburgh.

' The Campaign AgahMt the I'te. at an Kod Chicago. Oct. 28. A dispatch from the camp on Wuite river, lour miles north of agency, Colorado, dated October 17, says : Tbl afternoon General Merritt and command returned

to this point, the orders from Washington being to suspend operation against the run, and to await orders eiitp-r at White or Bear river, as negotiations for peace are in progress, it being understood that the host! ICS have agreed to surrender the warriors engsged in tne recent depredations. It ta probable that tbe combined commands of Merritt and Gilbert will remain for tbe present at this point, although nothing definite is known as to future movements. In event of peace being established It is altogether probable that a permanent military post will be constructed either at Biar river or the agency.
