INDIAN HosrILIrIEs.-We stated on Satur-
day that all the mails received at the Indian
Bureau, from the Pacific, had not then been
opened and examined. This morning, we are
informed, that they contain nothing from Su-
perintendent Nesmit relative to the recent hos
tilities, and principally relate to strictly official
matters. Hence, We are still left in doubt as to
the nature and extent of the disaffection which
recently manifested itself in the onslaught on
Col. SteptOe's command. We understand that
advices from army officers, express the opinion
that few months will suffice to quelI the dis
turbances, while other parties regard the oppo-
sition as formidable. The cause of the out.
break is still said to be the aversion of the
Indians to allow the construc ton Of q military
road from Fort Walla- w ALA, across the Spo-
kane country, to Fort Benter.

to the constructor, Mr.. s. +. Hartt, for the
rapid manner in which this work is being pushed
forward, as well as to his able assistant the
master builder, Mr.. Jos. Pierce, whose energy
and skill Is equal to any emergency
