Gen. Custer Returns to Dakota

Gen. Custer, who has spent the winter in New York, was peremptorily ordered 
last week to return without delay to his command, the Seventh Cavalry, at Fort 
Abraham Lincoln, in Dakota. An order was simultaneously sent from the 
headquarters of that department to have the horses of the regiment rough shod, 
and the entire command in readiness for active service in the field. Soldiers 
and frontiersmen will interpret this to mean a winter campaign against the 
Indians. Gen. Custer, with his wife, left on Thursday evening for Bismarck, 
the terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad. It is thought Gen. Custer will 
also take measures to protect the Black Hills from miners of whom it is 
estimated over 1000 are already there.
