An Indian War Inevitable in Iowa and
Minnesota

The determination of the Government t
to punish -pa-du-tah's band for
his murder of whole settlement of whites
at Spirit Lake has aroused the war spirit
of Sioux, and they are now gathered in
great numbers on the banks of the Big
Sioux River, Minnesota. A correspon-
dent of the ST. Paul Pioneer, writing from
the Sioux Agency under date of July II,
expressing apprehensions of the result,
says:
The Indians now at Yellow Medicine
number 5000, at low estimate. The
treaty Indians at that agency count 4, So
We think $50 is rather low estimate
for the addition from the plains. In ad-
dition, 200 lodges of Cutheads are repor-
ted to be at Bacquiparle, and on their way
down. This wonld collect force of
$500; aud with the Yanktons, who, have
just left for the plains, 1000 to 5000.
We have still some $500 Mauxakantons,
or lower Sioux; so we would have to count
at least 10000 Indians. In case of a
war, we may or may not count all these
as enemies. We are not disposed to
place much reliance upon the only branch
of the family from whom we could expect
aid-that is the lower Sioux. They are
reported-those who went up-to be on
this side of the Yellow Medicine River.
All the other Indians, and our troops, are
ON the other side of the river They
won't mix with the others, and maintain
now. if not an attitude of friendship to us,
at least one of indifference in the coming
struggle.
Here, then, are the figures; and You
and the people of the Territory will see
and Judge what is bestto be done. Should
war break out, of which there are too
many chances, there will be 10000 Indi-
ans-say 1000 fighting men-against
| 200 troops, or ten to one. We do not
wish to alarm, but would suggest that the
possibility of an Indian war be considered
and that provisions be made to meet il
and close it up before winter sets in

was not less than 100000 hhds., beside:
from 5000 to 10000 hhds. Melado.--
The Post says that the decline in price OF
this stock since the lst inst, including re-
duction of duty, is at least two and hal
or three millions of dollars. The fail is

tiles, and the market remains depressed
Recent importations from the West Indies
costing III cents, have been sold in lott
at 81 cents. AS we stated some tim.
since, the Eastern and Western States
have produced largely from the maple tree
and the decrease of demand on the New
York market from that quarter is enough
of itselfto effect prices seriously. Ever,

syrup and sugar of home make. w,

Public Sentiment in Kansas.

a well Known ana nlghly esteemed
Pennsylvania, who has just returned from
the Territories, writes the following to
friend in Philadelphia, as to the State of
politics in Kansas. The facts are interes-
ting:
.1 could interest you in Kansas affairs,
but the limits of this letter will not per-
nit Governor Walker will have matters
his way, and / feel confident that his pol
icy will lead to a happy determination of
the difficulties in that heretofore unhappy
Territory. The Convention, though COM
posed of pro-slavery men will submit the
constitution to vote of the people. The
constitution will be unexceptionable, and
the question of slavery will be submitted
as a separate proposition SO that the elec-
tor can vote for the constitution and against
slavery. The whole vote of the Territory
is estimated at $4,000. OF these 5000
are Pro-Slavery Democrats, 1000 are
Free State Democrats, and 5000 Re-
publicans. 9,25l votes are registered,
and of these 1000 voted for delegates =
1t is estimated that the vote on the Con-
stitution will reach $4,000 In Kansas
the question of slavery is regarded as set
tied. The issue now is, Shall Kansas be
a Democratic or Republican State? /
did not meet one pro-slavery man in the
Territory who expressed the opinion that
it could be a slave State"
W Shall we apply the Journals rule
to itself? Why don't it say good word
for Gov. Chase relative to that deposit of
Breslin's in the City Bank of Cincinnati,
by which the State lost 81 $1,000? CHEESE,
then. did advise him to deposit in that
rotten concern? How much did Chase
loose by the operation? Did he loose any
thing while the State was looser of
seuenty thousand dollars?
Chase was the Banks lawyer, and of
course must have been acquainted with its
affairs. He wrote to Breslin that it was
safe place-safe to swindle the State OF
seventy thousand dollars, he should have
advised. The Journal has "nary word
to say in contradiction. Why don't you
speak2 Is the Journal silent2 Does it
tacitly admit the fact? II thank the, jew,

Peace Between SPAN and Mexico.
Ths New York Times of Monday has

The New I ork Times of Monday has
the following article:
Our Washington correspondent informs
us that dispatches by the ASIA announce
the. expected re-estahlishment of friendly
relations between Spain and Mexico. If
we were to believe the representations OF
the Spanish Government, demonstration
against Vera Crnz is withheld ON account
of the repeated efforts of Mexico to concil-
late Spanish dignity and Spanish honor.
Spain, ofcourse, seeks to place herself in
the light of q magnanimous foe; but the
fact, nevertheless, is patent that at the
present time she is wholly incapable of
carrying on an expensive war, the conse-
quenees efHhieh might be very disastrous
TO her Teputation and her arms. We sup
pose that as soon as the news reaches the
Pepinsula of the trial and conviction oi
the .mprderers of San Yincente, peace
between the belligerentpowers will be form
erlyd ydeclered We have nerer anticipated
any other issue.

MONDAY, JUNE % 1857.

The largest liberty is now granted to City 10
spector Morton to clean the streets. Lapse
time has overcome the Mayors opposition, and he
resolutions Of the Common Council are beyond his
veto. We are glad to notice brisk movement in
some of the dirtiest localities; but sorry to observe
the scandalous condition of Broadway. This street
ought to be swept every morning, before SUNRISE
and all tenants should be required to sweep the side
walks either at the same time or at late hour in
the evening; and no store sweepings should De
thrown in the street ct any other time We hear
that Mr.. Morton has arranged with the proprietor
of the machines to sweep Broadway only twice
week. This is not enough. The machines should
20 over it every day. and they can do it SO per cent
cheaper than the same work can be done by hand.
So anxious are the merchants to have this sweeping
done daily, that they are willing to pay the differ
ence; but tie City ought to pay it, and we trust
Dir. Morton viii extend the agreement with Mr.
Smith 90 as to secure daily cleaning of at least
this one great thoroughfare Of the City.
