Threatened d Indian War in Nebras-
TFrom the St. Joseph Journal, 9TH |

From the ST. Joseph journal, 9th.
A few DAYS since we mentioned that an
armed band of Cheyenne Indians had made
descent on Pawnee village, and. In the
absence of the warriors, massacred the old
men, women and children, and laid waste
their village. 1t appears the Pawnees are
now In pursuit of their enemies and In their
march proving serious annoyance to :he
whites, thieving, robbing, and in some in
stances even attacking those through whose
settlements they passing. The Omaha
Nebrdskidn, of Saturday ID inst says:
''Y yesterday afternoon, two men came into
the city in great haste. bringing the intelli-
gcnce that party of eleven Pawnees had
attacked four white settlements the night
before, near the town of De Witt, Dodge
county, some ten miles northwest of Font
anelle, and about forty miles from this city.
| The Indians were Iepulsed with the loss of
four of their number killed. One OF The
whites was wounded, but not seriously.
Our informant says that from zoe to 500
Pawnee warriors were encamped but short
distance from the skirmish referred to, aud
serious difficulties were apprehenGed. All
! the whites had armed themselves, aud were
| momentarily expecting a renewal of hostili
! ties They brought petition to Governor
! Black, urging the necessity Of calling out the
militia for their protection. a small body
of men, well armed, left this city for the
seat of war last night, aud others will follow
| today
1t is believed that the savages are por-
ton Of the band sent out against the Cheyn
hees, and fears are entertained that they
will ravage the settlements near them before
starting out A couple of Pawnee runners
evidently spies, were arrested in this city
last evening, and lodged in Jail They were
endeavoring to get out of town just as the
armed force from here was starting.

Yet few in the daisy can beauty behold.
Beneath the proud foot unthinkingly trod,
'Tis crushed in its meekness upon the cold sward.
All say not It's vile--Omnipotent power
Hath shaded and formed this del icate flower,
'Tis then not in vain, that wisdom and skill,
Displayed in this flower hath purpose to FILL
When day god takes up his march through the
sky.
He tcnderly kisses the tear from its eye;
The uuconcious beauty awakes from its dream
And basks the day long in his bright golden
beam.
Like miniature sun. 50 dazzling and bright.
Eeflecting the rays Of its borrowed light,
1t smiHngly grects US on the hill or the green,
Thus lending enchantment where'4r it is seen.
All! well remember, in the morning of youth
The zest it gave duty-thc incentive to truth
And now this bright ge.n when crushed to the
sward,
Throws back its bright bushes and looks up to
God.
So meek and so mild, so patisntand true,
It's fidelity seemed NY Young Heart to WOO,
And DER it ! bent it seemed whispering kind;
And bade ne lJoA u ward true pleasure to find.
Then say not It's vain, gold embossed flower,
Oft hath 1t clecred in aiyersity's hour
Aud taught r,e celestial Jays to admire,
And ev CT and purely to heaven aspire.
