MOORE’S  RURAL  NEW-YORKER. 
PIJBLISHEB’S  NOTICES. 
TO  SUBSCRIBERS  AND  AGENTS. 
As  we  are  now  entering  upon  the  second 
volume  of  the  Twenty  -  seventh  year  of  the 
RubaJ/  NKW-YonKEB,  it  would  ho  woU  for  the 
proprietors  to  say  hj  subscribors  and  agents  that 
a  more  prosiwrous  time  than  the  present  has  not 
been  seen  in  this  ofllco  for  many  a  year. 
Notwitlistanding  the  cry  of  “hard  times” 
whioh  has  been  echoing  through  the  land,  the 
rural  poimlatiou  seem  to  be  able  to  take  their 
paper.  It  may  not  be  known  to  many  of  yon 
that  at  the  end  of  ea/ch  year  and  half-year  a 
newspaper  changes  a  large  number  of  its  hu1> 
Bcribers.  Sojne  old  ones  discfintiimo  and  their 
places  arc  tilled  with  new,  so  that  while  the  list 
does  not  diminish  in  munbors,  the  changes  fre  ¬ 
quently  amount  to  many  hundreds. 
There  were  hundreds  on  our  list  whoso  snb- 
Bcriptions  expired  with  the  last  number  in  June, 
and  of  these  every  one  lias  remim'd  but  fix. 
This  is  something  unprecedented  in  the  annals 
of  a  newspajxjr  otlico,  and  is  the  most  flattering 
indication  to  the  new  uiiinagement  Uiat  their 
strenuous  and  laborious  efforts  to  make  a  gtyot! 
paper  are  fully  api^reciatcd.  With  such  enoour- 
agomont  as  this,  eubscrilKirs  and  agents  may 
rest  assured  that  Jiothing  which  tamo,  labor  and 
money  can  procure  will  hereafter  be  omitted  to 
make  the  Rukai.  still  better  than  it  is. 
The  Literary  Departments  will  be  ko])t  up  to 
their  standards  of  oxcellcnoe  and  morality,  while 
the  Practical  Departments  will  continue  to  bo 
made  j>p  of  the  most  straightforward  common 
sense  which  can  1m5  obtained.  In  these  matters 
ho  aim  will  not  be  to  make  tlienx  so  senentiflo  that 
hey  may  not  be  readily  understood  by  every 
one ;  but  it  will  be  our  constant  endeavor  to  pub¬ 
lish  that  which  is  absoluMy  correct.  Now,  all 
that  is  needed  is  for  each  subscriber  to  got  an¬ 
other  and  our  list  will  at  once  be  doubled.

A  telegram  from  Fort  Fettorman,  Wyoming, 
July  116,  says:— It  was  Geii.  ( Irook’s intention  orig¬

adding  the  eight  companies  or  tne  atn  favfUry  I 
under  Gol.  .Meemt,  at  <>r  near  Fort  Laramie,  to 
this  coieinand.  The  wagons  and  infantry  arrived  ' 
on  the  13th  liiKl  .,  but  there  arc  yet  JiO  certain  ttd-  ’ 
ings  of  tlie  whcreahoula  of  Col.  Alerrltt,  who,  on 
the  I6ih,  went  In  pursuit  of  a  laidy  of  Choyehiies.  ' 
The  weather  Uas  been  very  warm  for  the  past 
week  or  ten  day.s,  drj'lng  up  (he  paai.tiragc  very  J 
materially.  This  drawback  to  the  sustciiaiicc  of 
the  cavalry  has  been  Increased  by  the  Indiana  sot¬ 
ting  lire  to  the  grass,  burning  largo  tracts  of  it,  i 
and  rendering  camps  inconvenient  if  not  danger¬ 
ous. 
It  is  believed  that  the  main  body  oftheblonx 
have  left  the  valleys  and  foot-hills  and  taken  up  ' 
more  secure  positions  in  t.lio  Big  Ilorji  Mountains 
proper,  where  giuno  is  more  pleni.lful  and  the 
grazing  more  fre.sh.  TMie  alternative  is  thcroforo 
forced  uiion  Gou.  crook  either  to  move  ui>on  tlicm 
at  once  or  consider  iho  Hummer’s  campaign  a 
desultoiT  and  I  udcclslve  alTair.  It  is  not  improb¬ 
able  liiat  the  Hloux  have  resolved  to  keep  in  ilie 
main  chain  of  uiounUiins,  au-i  awing  around  south 
toward  tlie  licad  of  1‘owdor  River,  and  dcljoucli  ou 
the  plains  toward  Fort.  Fettei  mKu. 
Gen.  crook’s  enmmand  consists  of  la  eouipunle^ 
of  cavalry  and  19  of  liilaiitry,  numbering  about 
1  200  s<jldler.s,  a  lew  half-breed  scou's  and  citizen 
voluritocrs,  and  the  200  Bnako  allU-s,  in  all  not 
over  1,100  llgbUng  men.  Wllh  this  ron;e.  how¬ 
ever,  he  feels  lliat  he  can  at  least  hvild  his  ow  n, 
and,  with  Oen.  Terry’s  command  In  reswve,  some¬ 
thing  dennlto  can  probalil.v  be  efleeted.  It  is  not 
unlikely,  l.hererore.,  that  this  command  will  maroli 
over  to  the  inaln  fork  of  Tongue  River  at  once, 
where  the  wagon  train  will  be  put  lu  park.  M  ith 
the  pack  tralu  carrying  from  15  to  20  days’ ntlons, 
a  rapid  march  toward  the  enemy  ^vlll  probaoly  bo 
'  made  within  a  day  or  two.  The  Sioux  are  cither 
scattered  already  or  are  In  force  on  the  head-wi 
ters  of  the  Little  Big  Horn  and  Ash  Creek,  near 
the  Mountain  line,  not  more  than  40  miles  dlsl.aut. 
The  Sloiix  cannot  move  their  famlllcH  and  cfTects 
through  the  rtmgli  mountains  as  rapidly  as  iho 
1  ROldli;r»  can  follow  them,  hence  they  must  eliJier 
^  make  a  stn nd  or  leave  them  behind  after  t  he  light 
Is  under  w.ay.  Tim  .snake  Indian  allies  are  of  this 
.way  of  thinking,  and  are  almo.st  as  anxious  for  an 
advance  ns  any  otluT  port.lon  of  this  command. 
The  pack  1  rath  of  3S0  pack.s  is  the  best  organized 
affair  of  the  kind  on  llie continent,  and  Is  in  a  con¬ 
dition  to  lollow  the  enemy  over  any  trail  f be}'  may 
select  and  make  n  good  fight.  Iii*sidc«,  wj  that  the 
command  will  be  enabled  to  rem.aln  in  the  rough¬ 
est  mountains  nil  Indcllnlto  jicrlod. 
It  Is  hoped  and  exp(x:tod  thni.atiandof  Hies  and 
poHHlhly  a  hand  of  Bannock  allies  will  Join  tlie 
expedition  before  the  next  move.  These  Indian 
allies,  however,  arc.  only  voluntary  aids,  and  are 
looking  for  wdial  plunder  they  can  capture.  Owing 
to  their  superstitious  notions,  they  arc  not  alto¬ 
gether  trustworthy  unless  success  is  continuous 
from  tlie  llrst.  Evidently  a  short  time  only  will 
elapse  before  the  entire  command  will  bo  put  to 
the  G»Hl,.
