Railroad, has''purchased locomotives and

complete the road between these two

embraced the glorious opportunity of
making an apology instead of Railroad.

EDITOR or DEMocRAr:- II. stated in
my letter to the DEMOCRAT dated at
Georgetown that the rumorss 1o31f''t the hostile
intent of the Sioux Indian Councils, as
was feared, had alarmed tho, Settlers on
this border. 49,.
l arrived at this point to-day, and learn
that the settlers who had removed from,
this valley in consequence of fears created
by these reports, had alarmed many upon
the road toward St. Cloud, who but for
this rather precipitatc movement Of the
timorous part of our population, would
have labored under no apprehensions of
Indian troubles. AS usual the most ex-
aggerated rumors accompany the cxode,
and nothing is to be heard but "Indians,,"
which to those who understand the exact
state of things only provokes smile. In
the letter mentioned above, + considered
the subject before the Sioux Councillors
to comprehend Buffalo surround or adop-
ing some other plan to fill their soup pots,
than consideration Of war measures ter
minating by taking up the Ratchet against
the "Grcat Father" at Washington; de-
pend upon if they will do 10 such thing
in this instance we must give Civ, Tie Sioux
more credit than can be accorded the Cot
ton Planters, though no doubt wroihged
and cheated by their agents aud others,
they know what the anger of the "Great
Father" would be, and wisely discounte-
nance "secession.' - " ~'''.. :. "a
