TR00F8 SURROUNDS BIO FOOT’S HAND AND A CONFLICT ENSUES. A special dispatch from Pine Ridge Agency, says that couriers from Bad L ind-, who arrived there Monday morn¬ ing announced that a bloody and desper¬ creek, ate confli t occurred on Porcupine between United States troops and hostiles. Big Foot’s band had been surrounded by troops when the former were being dis¬ armed by Colonel Forsyth, a bloo iy en¬ counter took place. Captain cavalry Wallace and five soldiers of the seven weie killed; Lieutenant Gurlington and fifteen men wounded. The Indians are being hunted up in all directions. ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT. A special of Advices Tuesday from Rushvi 11c, Neb., says: from the seat of war give news of another encounter between the troops and Iudiaus at a poiut within four miles of the agency. The Seventh and Ninth cavalry were just coming in from Monday’s battlefield, followed at some distano •, by their provision train. On reaching the point named, a large band of Indians, headed by Chief Two Strike, dashed sudden y upon the train, captured it, and were making off towards the Bad Lands when the cavalry wheeled and gave pursuit. In the battle which followed, over thirty Indians were wounded, but no sol iiers were killed. According to the latest report Two Strikes’ Indians hud up to Monday been considered peaceable and subdue!, but their sudden change of mind causes the gravest fears that perhaps none of the so called friendlies can be relied upon. Reliable news is also at hand that Col. Henry is now approaching the agency with 700 Indians, captured in the Bad Lands. 'Ibis is believed to include all of the rebels ■ n the reserva ion, and hopes are eutertained of a speedy settlement. It has cost the lives of about 250 Indians, twenty-five or thirty soldiers killed and wounded to effect this, if indeed it may be said that peace is yet established. 'I he body of the gallanf Captain Wallace and other dead soldiers, will be shipped to Fort Robinson, the nearest military post. A FINE SHOWING. THE ANNUAL REVIEW OF Tip! SOUTH’S PROGRESS.
