SiK,-In my former communication, made i'm
mediately upon our return from the expedition
. i4nntt and Clay counties TO relieve the set
tiers and repel the insasions Of the Sioux In
dians, ! stated that would soon make further
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 own men, who
persisted in a Enuw storm.
Since our return we have been overrun by the
settlers; who have rushed in upon as, abandon
ing the whole country north.
We are doing every thing in our power to re-
store confidence and stop the excitement.
We are keeping out scouting parties to watch
the movements of the savages, who have given
new cause for alarm since our return. Two par
Ties of Indians have recently appeared on the
east branch of the Des Moines river, near the
State line, IN kossnth county, about 40 strong.
Another party Of about like number has ap.
p-ared on the west fork of that river. Two OF
the nine scouts sent out on the east branch are
missing, and supposed to be killed. Two
settlers who had abandoned their homes at Big
/
cattle are also missing. Is EsyE@s ss
1t is very evident from what has taken place
that a great portion OF the Sioux, if not all, are
determined to be hostile, and sweep off the set
tiers throughout the Northwest portion of our
State and the South western portion of Mime
sofa. At 81
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 citizeos are
terrifying. e
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 taken
place. ~ s5 s1 .s-

had reached the corner of Second and Wash

brothers, who we're assisted by three other men,
who attempted TO force her away. Miss Wei

extensive crowd seen gathered. At Fifth and
Washington streets, Lieutenant Gilbert came

standing upon one of the platforms, fell from

instantly killed by striking upon some of the
numerous rock which obssruct tie channel of
