We had the pleasure last evening of a
half an hours conversation With Major J.
Miller, Indian Agent, at Council Bluffs,
who arrived from Weston On the Tobacco
Plant.
Mai Miller Informs us that good deal
Of apprehension was felt by the Otoes aud
Mabes, aud net little BY the whites,
when lie left, in consequence ofa ihrea-
tened visit from the Yencton Sioux, Ears
y in the spring, party the latter nam
ed band Of Indians came down TO the ii aha
will age and murdered two sqnaws. The
Mahas are neig ghhurs, and though ancient, !,
have lately united for purposes Of mu tnal
defence. On this occasion a party COM
posed of the two tribes, went in pursuit
Of the Sioux, aud killed eight; losing Gu
their own side one Maha and one Otoe.
They returned to their villages with the
scalps of the enemy, and subsequently,
some of The traders among them were SO
impolitic as to expose these scalps to 'iew'
as The trophies of the bravery Of their,
friends. This latter actled to threat o +
vengeance from the Sioux, and hence the
apprehension that the whites may be in>
cluded in any hostile demonstration.
To guard against the threatened des-
cent, the two tribes near CouuciI Bluffs
will remain al hume and united as much as
possible. Their villages are but some FIVE
miles distant.
