Later From Santa Fc.
IsDEPEsDExcE, April 2l.-The mail from
Santa Fe, in charge Of Mr.. Russo, arrived on
the evening of the 18th.

numerous bands Of Indians on the route.

post of Fort Atkinson, had determined to at
tack the Cheyenne Indians, AMI was only de-
ferring the attack until the mail had passed.

discharged soldier upon the plains, and though
the commandant had repeatedly requested
them to give up the murderers, they refused
to comply with the demand.

at the garrison, there being but one company,
1t. Heth deemed it absolutely necessary to
attempt their chastisement, as they have in
solently defed hin upon more than one occa-
sion during the last summer. The contest
will be rather unequal, and the result ia fear
ed.

neglect in supplying 50 insufficient force at
a post where there is so much DANGER sur
rounded as they have been during the present
summer with from 1900 to 5000 Indians OF
various bands of Arrapies, Camanches and
: Cheyenhies.
