We have received al Extra from the
Lawrence Herald ofFreeaom, under date
of the Sd instant, which conveys startling
intelligence of the descent of the Cheyenne
Indians on Fort Riley. The Extra says:
Official evidence has reached Governor
Walker, through the commanding officer
at Fort Riley, that the Cheyenne Indians,
IN force, have reached that station, where
there is no fertilization, and only half a
company of infantry. The commanding
officer at the Fort asks for immediate assist
ance, "an attack being hourly expected" and
the garrison filled with the wives and child
rem of absent officers and men. The of
ficia' report SepYsenis that "the Indians
had driven in all the Settlers and committed
several murders in sight of The post" >
Under these circumstances, Gov. Walker
has sent Col. Cooke, with the whole force
under his command, to the point of danger
Col. Cooke started with the advance at A.
NJ. to day, and by forcel marches hopes to
reach Fort Riley tomorrow evening, &C
companied by he Governor. The rest OF
the troops follow Immediately, and will pro-
coed with all possible ex. edition. Ii
seems to be wisely ordered BY Providence
that the>troops, who are now here So much
nearer Fer! Riley should thus be enabled
to reach that point in so brefa period, to
give speedy protection to the garrison and
settlers, and, il is hoped, intlict summary
