S. troops which has. been mustered in the West since the defeat of Geronuno It can be predicted, if some unfortunate net on the part of the soldiers does not add to tlje excitemeatcf the redskins, that th® threatened uprise will never occur. It is now plain that Geo. Miles has not beep idle during the past week, for the troops now arriving come from raos) of the posts iu the West. Small. detachments have beep moving in this direction for the last three days, and the whole has been so smoothly and quietly done that not a word of warning has reached the Indians. This great movement will be known to history as the masterpiece of strategic Indian warfare, although not a gun may be fired during the whole trouble. Dumb;less thequick Pesponse of the army will entirely quiet the bucks now in such a fever over the strange -‘ghost dancm.” It would be impossible for the Indians to mount aud start out upon depredation, for morning -will find them completely iu the possession of soldiers, so completely, in fact, that not even madness will furnish thorn an exeuso to go or. the warpath. _ A telegram received from General Miles Friday morning reads: ‘‘Reliable information has been received that tho Yanktons and Gros Ventres, on the upper Mis souri , &!»o ti.ose near old Fort Beiknap, have unanimously adapted the Messiah craze, the latter being quite ugly; that Fitting Bull has sent emissaries, to these tribes, and to the fortv-feiaht lodges of Sioux north, of the British line, exciting -them Jo getr arms and ammunition and Join the other warriors nrar Black Hills in tho spring.

The latest reports from the northern Cheyennes is that they have aban-. doned the delusion. There sheuld.be no delay, however, in putting other, troops than those in these two departments in

proper equipment for the field.” At Chicago array headquarters, Friday night. Gen. Williams said: “I have received a telegram from Gen. Brooks, who is commanding the forces at Pine Ridge, saying his scheme for inducing the disloyal Sioux to ,pbandon their tribe and join the ieyals is working very successfully, and he soon hopes to have the hostile crowd entirely broken up. The report from Lieut. Smith, who is in charge of the , forces, of the Rosebud agency however, Is | not so encouraging. He telegraphed that when the forces under his command , moved near the Indians camp Friday, the occupants retreated back about fifteen miles where at night they held their ghost j dances and worked up such a frenzy that" some outbreak might occur before Saturj day night. I was also advised that Sitting rßntMihd been sending ,'ut requests to all j Sioux liultans, even in Cauada, the Indian Tr i ritory and as far west as Wyoming to join lias forces. He is assisted in his woflT by a large number of his tribe who have : b.en educated in the cast. If tho Indians care tod iso they can do a great deal Of damage before they can be cheeked.

It is reported that two men were killed and scalped by Sioux in Campbell county, and that the Indians are to take the war path immediately.

The heaK of English pUilanttarophy has been touched as never before in many years, and none the less easily because the inefficiency of existing methods for the relief and suppression of pauperism is appallingly apparent- Most Englishmen; except agris cultural laborers, prefer death by slarva-* tion to the work-house, and outdoor relief•• as generally administered, means slow starvation.
