Dunn and Lord Masserie arrived at these headquarters. The object of Gen. For-sythe's visit was to locate, a new government post on McClellan Creek or vicinity. On the 1st two of our scouts returned from a trip South, to McClellan Creek, and reported having found an Indian camp on north fork' of Red River, and having been run by some fifteen Indians, but escaped unhurt. 1 On the same night they Were despatched South, to Maj.

Chaffee's camp, on Sweetwater, with orders for him to march the sam night to North Fork. The scouts carrried them to within a mile of where they had been attacked, but the Indians had taken the alarm and fled. If the Major had succeeded in surprising their camp he would have given them a eood whipping, He is one of the most efficient and bravest officers connected with this expedition, and his company have done more scouting and hard work than any company connected with the command. On the morning of the 2nd the scouts struck an Indian trail near the head- of Sweetwater of about 150 Indians running an, easterly course. On the morning of the 3rd, Sergt.
