THR PAwKEE INDIANS.

On Saturday last Nj usually quiet city was
thrown into quite q Juror Of excitement By 2
report that some of the Pawnee indians had
come in collision with the whites, in the yici-
nifty of the Pawnee camp. and that one Of the
Indians was killed. The Major General OF
the militia was Immediately dispatched to the
scene Of action, but, meeting Major Dennison,
the newly appointed agentfor the Pawnees, at
Bellevue, it's presumed that the services Of
tho militia win not be put in requisitiOn.
Hseems thatthe Indians have recently been
very troublesome to the settlers in the vicinity
Of their village, killing cattle, breaking into
their houses, and threatening them with per
soBal violence. On Saturday morning two Of
three Indians shot a COW belonging to one o
the whites, and when demonstrated with b
the owner, one Of them raised his gun to Kill
him. The settler was, however, too quick fol
the Indian, who was made to bite the dust
We trustthat Major Dennison viii report il
favor Of making a treaty with these pests, a
as early a day as possible. and that they WI.
shortly be removed-N5raskian.
