INTERESTING FROM THE PLAINS
We have news from the Plains brought t.
Fort Leaycnwor tll, on the 9Th inst, by az
express sent in by Lieut.. Love, with thu
urgent request that a reinforcement should
be sent 70 his aid. Lieut.. Love was If
command Of an escort, which took out some
100000 in specie for the troops at Santa
Fe.
The express left him on the Arkansas, al
which time he was beset by Camanche In
.dians, with whom he had had several en-
counters for four or FIVE days in succession.
lie had already lost fire men killed and f0ur
wounded-among the latter, Sergeant Bish-
OPP. The Indians lost IL or l3 killed.
The Indians were in large numbers, and
were pressing Lieut.. Love very resolutely,
being aware, perhaps, of the value of the
prize they were after.
1t. Loves express brings information
that other government trains had been al
tackled by the Camanches.
Mr.. Smith, vino had established a fort on
the Arkansas was driven therefrom with his
men, and compelled to fly, taking the route
to Santa Fe.
Four companies of tie Missouri Volun-
teers were last at Council Grove. Capt.
S!Icpard's company was in advance Of that
point.
There can be no doubt that no company
unless very numerous and well armed can
now cross the Plains safe from attack-inI
short none, perhaps, except a strong milli-.
tary force.
