F1Sht with the Indiana Mt Naw VTl,r,

Sr. PAUL, MINI, Aug 25.-Ten whites were

lessly. Their loss was considerable
On Sunday our small force, under Major Elan
drew, finding that they could not stand another
attack, withdrew to Markets, leaving the town
to the mercy OF the Indians. 1t is reported that
between 500 and 600 Indians were in the fight
Col Sibley's command probably reached Fort
Ridgley yesterday.
The adju'ant general Of Minnesota issued an
order to the commanding officers to seize all
horses and means Of transportation necessary, on
giving recei pts to their owners
The massacre does not seem to be confined to
one locality, but spread over a vast amount OF
territory. lt Is reported that 48 families had all
but two persons killed at Lake Spitik, so miles
southwest Of New Ulm; but these reports are un
doubtediY exaggerated, many persons having fed
or secreted themselves, who are probably sup
posed to be killed.
The entire number Of Sioux Indians in Mime
sofa is about 200, Of whom 500 are warriors.
Gov Ramsey, in proclamation, gives assurance
that no apprehension need be felt for the safety
the thick settled parts Of the State. The force
sent against the Indians Is believed to be mors
than sufficient to drive them into Miisouri Gov
Ramsey, however, has called an extra session cf
the Legislature for the 9th Of September, to pro.
vide means Of defense.
