Now, while be may have overdone the matter or missed the mark in aome respects, we will wager that Spragne has been telling some unpalatable troth's, or poking a sharp-stick into soma nest of rascality.

Of the progress of the work on the road, the Atchison Champ-on say: A large force of laborers are at work on the Atchison and Nebraska and, Atchison and Leavenwoith Railroads, south and north of this city. On the former road, a sob-contract has been let, for tbe first four miles, to Capt. E.

Batcher. Other sub-contractors are working north of his line. South of the city, on the Atchison and Leavenworth Railroad, a very large force of men are employed. Messrs. Brown'cfc Bier expect to finish tbe grading for tbe first seven miles with-, in abont a month.

Our camp was oeautl-faily locatcd-afcthe east eud of the "WTchita Mountains. General Custer received orders Jto march fire troops of the "ili Cavalry against the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians that bad refused to mate peace until their two Chiefs, SatanU and Lone Wolf, were released.

On the morning of the 23d'we started onward, destination uaknown, marching up a besutiful Taller, mountains 'to the right and lft- "We marched three days up that valley; The scenery was picturesque the valley; with mountains on either side, massive rocks hansing orer the beads of passers by.

Met the Arapahoes, undar Little Raven, encamped along tho North Fork of Red River, sixty lodges.

The south side of tbe plain is intersected with Sand-hills, which were occupied by Little Raven's warriors. Signals were ex changed, and terms of capitulation agreed upon at once. Our party marched through the Indian camp. Custer told their Chief plainly that if they wanted fight, they Could have it. Our determined leader 'made tbe Chief believe tbe forty-fira men of his bravest Warriors were Able and willing to fight them, and capture their ponies and take their camp.

Custer told him each man he had was good for one hundred of his warriors. They were too cowardly to fight ujj although, they had five times our number. We laid over near the Indian camp two days. Little Raven promised to more his band to our main camp; i distance of one hundred miles from "this place Yellow Bear acted as our guide, while we were marching south west, after tbe Cher- ennes.

Crossed and recrcssed Red River, inarching a north west direction for two days. Custer, Seeing he could follow them no longer with his handful of men, two hundred miles from supplies and ont of rations, went into camp along Starvation Creek, sending his scouts out, to ascertain the whereabouts of the Cheyenne encampment. Three days had passed; tha scouts rtturned bringing no information what ever in regard to the Cheyennes. The 3d day of February, we marched down Starvation Creek CittH miles. Wo were compelled to kill atu eat one of our hones; tired three days on h-rsc flesh alone, marching twenty fir t-j thirty miles each day."
