The fullowioir dispatch was received at the war depart men tuisatieriioon Irum Chicago, signed bv Assistant AdiutaDt Oeneral Drum 'Dispatches from General Terry, dated from his camp mouth'of Horn, July 2d confirms the newspaper reports of a tight nn 2nth nf on the Tattle Biff Horn, and of Custer's death. Terry has sent full dispatches to the lieutenant-, who will probably communicate them. 1 have not, received General Terry's report of the action or list of casualties. The Secretary of War and Gen.

Sher man are oolh. absent irom asniDgton, attending the celebration by the army of the Cumberland in Philadelphia. The presumption is there will be aa immediate cionference upon the subj'ict of the Indian war now fully inaugurated. St. Locis.

July C. A dispatch from Virginia City reports great excite ment at the news of Custer ceala. A meeting was called to -organiza a com pany bf volunteers. The following special despatch to the Chicago mount is the latest news re ceived from Custer's expedition, previous to th6 terriDle news St. Pacl, July 3.

Advices Terry's command to June 25 were from received at Jltsmarck to-day. Keno, with some of his cavalry command, had returned from the work assigned him. and wa censured for not fu'lv obeying instructions Custer, with twelve com panies of cavalry, took the trail of the l.oOtJI Indians wutre Reno had abandjned it, and pushed into Rosebud auey. where the Indians have been congregated for some time. Rumors prevail that Custer has since bad a battle with the Indians.

Custer, on the 21st, was at the mouth of the Rosebud, and a fight with the Indians was expected about the 24th. Custer carried ten days rations. General Terry was to supply General Custef from the mouth of the ttig Horn, should his pursuit of Indians lead him that way, Otherwise, Custer may go to Fort Fet terman for supplies. lerry retains two steamboats earning troops and supplies. Thej lehowstone being high, boats have no dimculty in running to liig Horn.

Thej country i3 60 rough that even Gat-ltng1 guns cannot be easily moved by land. Reno, on the 20ih, was near the mouth of ToDgue river. Moore, with 6ix companies oi lniantry was at the mouth of Powder river. Gibbon's com mand was at at the mouth of the Big Horn. Two hunters were kiiled by the Indians near Powder river.

No other casualties thad occurred. The health of the command was good. Terry had mounted 200 infantry on the mules of the wagon train. lie had not heard from Crook. Gen.

Sherman was interviewed by a reporter in Philadelphia and said It was from lerry, ttiinK, about June 20 or 21, who was then north of tbe Rosebud, and who was then outlining a campaign against the savages, Ire quent signs of whose near presence were dis covered. It was Lis intention to have Custer lead an expedition of about 800 men up the stream, and to effect a junction with Gibbon's command on the south side of the Yellowstone at its junction with- the Big Horn. This is in the southern part of Montana Territory. It was then Teny'a purpose to be himself at this tunction when Custer ana Gibbon forces were massea. ttiooon reacnea the junction of the Big Horn and Yel lowstone first, he was to march up the former, and meet Custer, who was direct ed to march down.

From what has been reported I infer that Custer met the savages in force on his way towards the iunclion. and made a daring effort he was always Drave ana aaring to cut nis wav through the enemy, who filled the stretch of country separating the two forces. I do not like to believe the news is as terrible as it is reported, and yet there is no reason why the despatches should not come direct from liills, the nearest post to the scene, for the lines, I. understand, were recently placed in good working order. lhe trooDS engagea were trying to punish Sitting Bull's tribe of Sioux In dians for not keeping their treaty stipu lations in refusing to go upon the reservation set apart for them.

-The Indian Bureau for about a year has been trying to get this tribe of Indians upon their reservation, ana it sent inem wora to ward the close of last year that unless they went there by the end of January, 1876, they would be turntd over to the military for punishment. The Indians not complying with the request of the Indian Bureau, the Secretary of the In terior requested the War Department to send a military- expedition to subjugate them, and General lenys expedition was organized for that purpose, General Custer was oorn at New Rumley, December lsJU, and educated at West Point. At the out break of the rtbellion he entered the cavalry service of the Potomac army, becoming aide-camp to AlcClellan. lie was engaged in the battles of Yorktown, Antietam and Stoneman's raid. In 1863 he was made a brigadier general of volunteers, and held the right of the line at Gettysburg.

At Falling Waters he routed the rebel rear guard, and at Win ch stercaptuied nine battle nags. All through the war his record was very brilliant, and at Waynesboro, in Februarv, 1565 he captured the remnant of Early's army, about 18,000 strong. He was singularly fortuuate in his career, never losing a gun or color, and making more captures than any other general not a commander. Towards the close of the war he was gazetted major-general of the Lnited States Army, in recognition or his brilliant achievments. an a ed of DrBlyle, J.ily 6.
