By the politeness of Governor Grimes we
are permitted to copy another letter from Ma
jor Williams, conveying the latest intelligence
from the scene of the late Indian massacres.
tits proper to say that Governor Grimes
sas taken steps 10 furnish the required arms
and ammunition:
Fort Dods e, Iowa, April 4, 1857.
To his Ercellency, James w. Grimes,
SIR,-In my former communication, made
Immediately upon on return from the expedi-
ton to Emmitt and Clay counties to relieve the
settlers and repel the invasions of the Sioux
Indians, stated that would soon make fur
ther report to you.
Most of our time since our return has been
taken up in providing for the wounded, suffer-
ing and destitute rescued, and in searching
for the bodies of some of our own men, who
persisted in snow storm.
Since our return we have been oyerrun by
the settlers, who have rushed in upon us,
abandoning the whole country north.
We are doing everything in our power to
restore confidence and stop the excitement.
We are keeping out scouting parties to
watch the movemements of the sayages, who
have given new cause for alarm since orr re-
turn. Two parties of Indians have recently
appeared on the east branch or the Des
Moines river, near the state line, in Kossuth
county, about 40 strong. Another party Of
about like number has appeared on the west
fork of that river. Two of the nine scouts
sent out on the east branch are missing, and
are supposed to be killed. Two settlers who
had abandoned their homes at Big Island
Grove, and who returned to hunt up their
cattle are also missing. @
1t is very evident from what has taken place
that great portion of the Sioux. il not all,
are determine ed to be hostile, and sweep off
the settlers throughout the Northwest por-
ton of our State and the Southwestern por-
ton of Minnesota.
We labor under great difficulty from the
want of arms and ammunition. We can raise
the men but we cannot arms.
At Algoma, in Kossuth County, and at Da-
kota City, in Humboldt County, the citizens are
fortifying.
Meetings are holden and Committees appoint
ed to address your Excellency and also the
General Government upon the subject Of aid
to defend this portion Of the State.
herewith enclose to you one Of our papers,
which contains full account OF what has ia
ken place.
Any order you may think proper to give
will be carried out by me. have done all
in my power and shall continue to 10 so.
Very respectfully yours,

INDIAN TROUBLES IN NEBRAsxA.--News
reached this city by telegraph, from St. Louis
to-day, Of fight between the Pawnee Indians
and the white settlers upon Salt river, which
resulted in the death OF one OF the settlers and
several Indians, and the capture by the whites
of thirteen Pawnees. These Indians are now,
and have been for several years, extremely
poor, and in most deplorable condition OF
suffering and want. Accounts from their
country, received by the last mails represent
them as in starving condition. So extreme
is their poverty and suffering that they have
been compelled to subsist in many instances
upon the flesh Of their children. 1t is sup
posed, by gentlemen familiar with their char
acter, that the late collision with the white
settlers has been brought about in consequence
Of the Indians killing stock to subsist upon in
their extremity. II this is the case, it will, in
some degree. palliate what might, under other
circumstances, be considered . great outrage
on the part of the IndiAns.-[ Washington

JAMEsrowN.-Where is it? The question
has been frequently asked of late, where is
the city of Jamestown? Letters of enquiry
have been pouring in from the entire east, d.
iected to our Judges, Clerks, Post-masters,
Attorneys, and others. all clamerous to be in
formed by the next mail as TO the new city of
Jamestown, and whenever one Of our cltizens
travel aboad, no sooner is il found ont where
he is from, than ne is beset in Hotels, Cars,
Steamboats,, and Coaches with The same uni
versal interogatory, Where is jamestown?
What sort of place is it? What is its popula :
lation? What chance there for Physicians,
Lawyers, Merchants, Tavern Keepers, Shoe
maker, Saddlers, Silversmths, Artists &C..
and what are lots really worth.
We should probably have remained compar-
a.ively unaffected BY the Juror about James,
town, IL the said city had been located in
any other part of the world, but everybody has
fixed it jus. two miles east of the city of OF
tumwa at the junction Of the B. & M. r. &
X. g. Fl. d. Railroads, and in the county of
Wapello. Living as we do in this identical

an enquiry which serves to convulse the coun-
try, and which NAV possibly endanger the
Union. We have, therefore, made rigid and
careful enquiries, ir relation to the existence
of a1&alcity with spires, public squares, streets
and blocks of buildings, and the hustle of
commerce, two miles east of US, or city on
paper, yet to be, and we must confess, as vet,
without any success whatever. We have not
extended our enquiries to the heavens above
or to the earth beneath; but we can certify
that there is not. to the best of our knowledge.
and belief. on the surface Of the earth, any
legally established city of said name at said
locality.
1t is reported that DR.. James, has been
representing himself as the proprietor of the
town of Jameston, situated as shove, in circu-
lars, and other wise, and offering to send deeds
for alternate lots TO persons RENTING the
sum Of $l,00. Purchasers, and others inclined
to purchase, are anxious OF course, to be post
ed up on the subject, and hence the excite
ment referred to.
We will continue our enquiries, and so soon
as we get glimpse of the city of James,
town, wewill hasten to enlighten, the world all
about it. Seriously, it is the grandest hum
bug of the age. The press will benefit the
public by exposing it.

Courts Of this State, and may we not hope the
company may receive justice, and be enabled
to give us, without further delay, an uninter-
rupted water communication with the eastern
cities.
Let us take a view Of the position we occupy.
Central between Keokuk and Fert Des Moines,
and almost central between st. Louis and st.
Paul. and situate on the most direct railway
route between the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, it requires no prophetic eye to see that
our city, in commercial point of view, is
destined to rank among the first cities in the
great west. The completion of the various
improvements now projected will secure pros
perity to our city for all time to come. And
as look down the vista of coming years, be-
hold manufactures of all kinds springing up
in our midst, and our city encircled with rail-
roads whose iron bands extend from the At
lantic to the Pacific oceans, and from New
Orleans to Nothcrn Minnesota.
At this time our public improvements should
assume new character. The increase Of
population and the accumulation of wealth,
call upon the constituted authorities of this
city for enlarged views in projecting and econ
omically executing the improvements of our
streets and walks, and also the improvements
of the leading avenues to our cities. sys-
tenn Of improvement should be adopted and
made ready for execution so soon as may he
called for by the petition of the citizens, and
their ability and wishes to meet the necessary
expense is made known.
AT this time our finances are limited. and
correct report of their condition should be re.
quired, and our capabilities made known -
This will enable us to operate within our
means and prevent embarrassment, and to
project plans'for future operation with safety.
Among all our various public and private
duties, there is none more incumbent upon us
than the duty of fostering and cl,erishing those
associations FOR intellectual and moral i'm
provements which are sprirging up in our
midst. The present reputation of our city
for intelligence, the good sense and honorable
feelings of her citizens, and their regard for
law, Justice and good order, should stimulate
us all to preserve unsullied her fame.
Gentlemen, the provisions Of our incorpora-
ton invests the Common Council with powers
demanding the exercise OF all our wisdom, in
dustry and justice. The power Of raising and
expanding annually large amount Of money,
and various other acts which are definitely
enumerated in our charter, calls for prudence
and wisdom, and in the exercise of all these
various duties pledge the Common Council
my cordial cooperation.
