REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
The joint committed Of the people and of the
Common Council. proceeded with all possible
speed to Fort Smelling to ascertain of Command
er Smith, if the report in the city, Of the Sioux
Indians outrage, was correct, and whether addi.
tional arms and ammunitions could be furnished
volunteer forces. They were informed that the
report was true, and that three companies of one
hundred men had been sent forward with bag
gage-wagons, ammunition, &c., but that addition
al troops were not needed, bs it was thought a
company would leave Fort Ridgely, and one from
st. Peter. Our citizens were asked to be in
readiness should any emergency arise to demand
their services. The committee bring the news
that torty-t,oo persons had been killed at Spirit
Lake, and that the present demonstrations on the
part of the savages, are but continuation of the
scenes enacted on the Iowa line. Commander
Smith was of the opinion that the troops sent out
would be sufficient to put to fight at least eight
hundred Indians, and that no further danger need
be apprehended. The Equator is hourly expect
ed from above, when we shall have more definite,
and, We hope, later news. In any event, our
military and citizens are prepared to render eff
cient aid should it be deemed necessary to call
up on them.
