From the Sioux City Gswa) Register, December O.
We are indebted to Major Campbell, paymas-
ter, United States army, who has just returned
from Fort Kan jail, for the following intelligence
respecting the present whereabouts snd move
ments of Little Crew" and his Indian allies
on the upper Missouri. Major Campbell OBJ
tanned this intelligence from DR. BuTieigh, who
in turn, received 1t direct from the spy:
a spy sent cut from the Ysnkton agency, and
who has jus. returned from Gp the Missouri river,
reports FIVE different c0mpAuies of Sauntees on
the Missouri river above Fort Pierre located as
follows One at Swan Lake, sixty miles above
Fort Pierre; one at the old Rec Village, one
hundred miles abeve; one at Beaver Creek one
at Cannon Ball River, and one at Red Wood.
Little Crow is now at Long Lake, one hundred
and fifty miles from Fort Pierre. He recently
sent tobacco and other presents to the two bands
Of the Tetons (the OlekpapAs and the Black
feet Sioux with an invitation for them to Join
him in this war against the whites, and received
promise that they were ready to aid him, and
would attack Fort F5erre as soOn as the Missouri
was frozen over.
The Sauntees have sent a messenger to Strike
the-Ree, head chief of the Yanktons, asking him

found White Lodge and Sleepy Eyes, two Ssun-
tee chiefs, who had in their possession seven

The friendly party offered the chiefs ransom Of
seven horses for the prisoners, but they refused
to give them up, suppcsing that the ransom
came from the whites The friendly Indians
then told them they must either trade or fight,

white man, who said that his people were at war
with the United States, and he wanted all the

1t may be proper to remark here that Strike

The Feeling in Kep.HeL.r on emancipation

The Feeling in Kentucky on Emancipation
Kentuckisns who are in Washington say that
the State is undergoing a revolution on the
emancipation question, and that before long it
will take position by the side of Missouri, in
favor Of compensated pation..-HarJoTd
Post.
To this the Louisville Journal makes the fol-
lowing reply:
We find the substance Of that paragraph IN
several Eastern papers. 'Tis all fraud. If any
Kentuekians in Washington say that this State
is undergoing revolution on the emancipation
question, they are hunters after Office or hunters
after contracts-po9r and cringiBg syeophants,
who hope to compass their ends by telling the
President whatever they think he would like
TO hear. We believe be has great deal too
much sense to let himself be csjOled By such dis
honest and mean spirited mercensTies.
