LATER FROM THE PLAINS.

From The 50. Louis Republican, June To-
A mail was received yesterday from Fort LARAMIE
and Fort Kearney. Several letters have been placed
at our disposal from each of these posts from which
we gather some interesting items Of news The feel
ing of the Sioux Indians is decidedly hostile to the
United States.
One letter from Fort Laramie dated on the 9th OF
NAV saws 1.-THE Snake Indians were not concerned
in The recent robberiss at the Platte Bridge. II s
known that the Mnecajoux Sioux guilty Of all the
late robberies. This week they stole four of Major
Johnsons mules not far from the fort on the Salt Lake
side Some squaws have brought in report that two
war parties 100 strong each coming down Lara
ME TO steal. All the traders agree that the Govern
ment ought to whip the Sioux In fact that is abso-
lutely necessary
The trial at Salt Lake of the Indians surrendered as
the murdcreIs of Capt. Gunnson and his pnrty-a
blind old man. woman and child with one warrior
was most dsgraceful affair. They were sentenced
TO six years imprisonment and got out OF jail the Sec
ond night
Another letter Of the 18th says: % Tho Indians are
stealing horses and mules at the Platte Bridge and the
Devils Gate. John Rechard has lost eighty head,
and Archambault all he had. From ell that can Geo
and hear lapprehend that there will be no war with
the Sioux 1t ia astonishing that the Government will
ace depredations and murders committed repeatedly
and yet take steps to protect the people. We who
are here in the midst of these occurrences and know
tie Indians, have good cause OF complaint that The
Government will not pursue proper course toward
them.
A letter from Platte Bridge dated April a. says:
" Only eight days ago Sioux Indians came here and
stole seventy-fve head Of horses. They have robbed
traders who have lived with them for years. Ihey
look for war with the whites and say they are ready
for it,"
From Fort Kearny, in letter of the 9th May, we
told: The Escort arrived from above to-day.
The Salt Lake mail had not arrived at Laramie on the
18th inst Some emgrants on the road between thIs
and Laramie have lost all their stock by the Sioux In
dians.'
