INDIAN TROUBLES.


Frou The omaha NebydskiGn. Jny2
We last week mentioned that the CheyeGnes had
made descent upon the Pawuees, and de troyed the
village Of the latter situated about 30 miles Of tins
city, The reported fray has since been fully auihent-
Gated We aso gather from Sources eutied 10 belief
that offensive alliance has been formed between the
Pawpets, Onlabas PUncss aud faUcktOu Sioux, aud
that strong war party, berIng about 5,UUo OF the
tCst warriors Of tho.e Tlbes, already ou the war
trail with the inieitonO making reprisas upon tier
nuius enemies the CbeyeDses. WIKI the exception,

the len il the Platte Valley from the petty raSca
ties Of the Paanees We c0ud almost mad 10 our heart
the wish that the present hostile expedition might have
q more ssut uinaTy result-that mutual destruction
mig hi be Witnessed.

pag.d, hls stock buchered or driven of, HIS crops
