Important Indian News.

The New York Times Washington
correspondent of May ID, says:
The President has received authentic in
formation that large body of Indians, of
various hostile tribes, are collected on the
head waters of the Red River, though
not so large as at first reported. Their
encampments, however, extend along the
banks of the river hundred and fifty miles.
They are all well armed and hostile, and
say that it is the intention of the Great
Chief of the West, Brigham Young, to
exterminate the white settlers on the from
tier. The Apaches and Cheyennes con-
stitute large portion of the hostile Iu-
dians, the Camanches remaining friendly,
though very much alarmed. Fortunately
anticipating this contingency, the Govern
ment, some time since, ordered regiment
from Texas to march into the Indian
country, and they are now on their way
there. The friendly Indians will not be
allowed to participate if fight ensues.
A lerter from Oregon says that Brig
ham Young is concentrating the saints at
Salt Lake, the converts in Oregon having
received orders from him to repair there
at once. 1t is added that they immediate-
ly packed up their goods and started for

precisely as good if they reject the ordi-
nance as if they accept it.
In the case of Wisconsin the ordinance
and Constitution were both submitted,
but the same ballot determined the fate
of both; in the case of Kansas the ordi-
nance only is submitted, but the fate of
both is determined by the same ballot
For all practical purposes the constitu
ton is submitted, and it is, in every par
ticular, MS fair as was the submission of
the Constitution of Minnesota.
The whole of the Republican bluster is
the offspring of disappointment in their
partisan schemes 1t needs only the ex-
ercise of common sense to see that it is
nothing but bluster, and, as is usual with
them, the less cause they have the more
boisterous they are. They pile up col
umn after column hoping in the huge
masses of words to conceal the want of
sense.

E1glish's Bill-Thc Alleged Bribe.
ry--CaSe Of Wisconsin.

The Hepuelicans with all the rage o.
bitter disappointment are malignan,ly at
tacking the English Bill. They cherished
she dclusion that permanent breach had
been made in the Democratic ranks by
the Lccompton Constitution, and that
large boey OF the Democrats would be
driven to coalesee with them. They gloat-
ed in fancy over the spoils which this ac-
csssion woald place in their hands, and
ss.ne Of them had already begun to select
tn il seats in the synagogue. But at one
fell blow the hope was destroyed, and now
in The bitterness of their souls they are
crying out sgainst the authors of their
defeat. They parade the grants of land
to the people, and point to them as most
unheard of example of corruption.
They allege that the bill offers a bribe
to the people Of Kansas If they will ac
cept the Lecompton Constitution, and
upon this they found all their charges.
With this as pretext they give vent to
their vindietive spleen. Some of them
are doubtless ignorant enough to believe
that the land grant is bribe, but the
more intelligent know very we'll that SINH
lar grants are made to all new States, and
that whenever Kansas may he admitted
