INDIAN DHFIoULTIEs-We clip the follow
ing from the Bulletins Washington cores
pondence;
By official dispatches, it appears that Su-
perintendent Cullen, Minnesota having sup
plies for the Yancton Indians in Decotah
Territory, was met about fifteen miles from
the Yellow Chedriene by about two hundred
Siston Indian warriors, who seized the horses
of the train and refused to permit Mr.. Cullen
to proceed unless he would first pay them
their annuities. This he refused to do, and
he had to return to Fort Ridgely for aid and
succor. A force of two hundred men, with
battery, was furnished him, and serious
fears aae entertained that battle would en-
sue. Hostilities have also broken out among
the Indians in Nebraska, and five thousand
warriors are said to be in the field, menacing
and plundering the settlers.

SMARTsYILLE. Anr. 1nfl

SMARTsYnLE, Aug. 10th.
| EDITOR DEMOCRAT Much conversation
and speculation is going on about here Just
now as to what course the Lecompton party
will take, now that the crime of an attempt
to improperly influence an officer of the Su-
preme Court is fastened by Beatty, Terry,
Mcconnell and the expressive silence of
Heydenfeldt upon their candidate for Gov
ernor.
Some think their State Central Committee
will openly require him to decline, and that
the Committee will place some other name
upon the track-or call State Convention,
as there is nearly a month till the day of cleo.
tion. Others think that Gov. Weller will
take the vacated track by common consent.
But is it not little unfortunate that (not
thinking of this contingency the friends of
Gwin, in order to unload him little, have
been saddling Weller with the Lime Point
swindle? Others think that Mr.. Latham
will run the race through, and that he is
good enough for LecOmptonism; and that in
view of the patronage he will have to dis
pense and the pardoning power he will exer-
else, the charge proved against him will be
rather feather in his cap, and will draw to
his support the numerous persons in the
State who expect to want pardons, or to ask
for appointments without the backing Of
"honesty or capacity"
Some think Mr.. Latham can Handsomely
Decline of his own account, and require the
Central Committee to name his successor; al
Lodging in his card, that charges affecting his
moral fitness for the station Of Governor have
been made against him that he cannot cleai
up in time for the election, &C., and let him
self down easily. Well, 1--WE shall see what
we shall see
If the Administration had backed out o.
their naturalization dilemma against France
or Prussia or Austria, instead Of weak little
Hanover, we might have had some faith il
| them. But now it is looked on as an election
ruse, and we have the same faith in then
upon that, as in their Popular Sovereignty.
