THE ASHLAND TIDINGS. F riday ............................ F ebruary s , ib - s . THE SIOUX WAR CLOUD. 1__ Gen. Crook, who is credited with a great deal of sagacity on the Indian Qaeation, and not without good rea bo n, has, according to late dispatches, expressed himself quite pointedly in re gard to the situation in the West. He thinks it is going to be extremely diCi cult to maintain peace on the northern border and on the Upper Missouri and Yellowstone. He says that as the English have no means of subsisting Sitting Bull’s renegades, they will be compelled to follow the buffalo to their stamping grounds in the United States; in which event they will have more or less communication with other Indians and consequently there will be trouble. Oen. Crook estimates that over a hun dred thousand buffaloes, mostly fe males,have been slaughtered every year for the last ten years. As the natural increase is far less than this, the In dians must soon find soon other means of subsistence. This will compel them, eventually, to either rely on Govern ment or depend on depredations for their “daily bread.” As there are five hundred miles of unprotected territory on the border, the General thinks it will be impossible to prevent Sitting Bull from crossing the line. He be lieves that the troops, on the Tongue river, on the Yellowstone and the Up per Missouri may do much towards preventing serious depredations, but there will be more or lees danger in that country until Sitting Ball is *‘cleaned out.” The outlook certainly justifies an apprehension of further and serious trouble with the Sioux General and his band of scalpers, and it is to be hoped that the army will be placed and kept on such footing that, when the necessity shall arise for a complete and satisfactory subjugation, it may be done promptly.
