The rumors that the Chippewas had
risen against the whites, have proved To
be unfounded. A correspondent of the
Pioneer says:
"These Indians have complained Of
having been defrsudeG out of portion OF
their annuities by the late agent; and
some months since Holc-in the Day went
to Washington and demanded of the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs and the Secrc-
tary Of the Interior, an investigation OF
the matter. This was promised him i'm
mediately, but the investigation was de-
ferred, until the indians, becoming i'm
patient, assembled small number and
killed three oxen belonging to the Indian
farm. Agent Walker then ordered a
squad of troops to arrest Hole in-the- Day.
He was found at Grow Wing, alone and
unarmed, with the exception of re-
volyer, and seeing the troops in pursuit,
he threw off his blanket and ran for his
house, two miles above Crow Wing, where
he arrived, and in great haste took his
wife and children into a canoe and crossed
the river. At about the moment he landed
on the west bank Of the river, Sergeant
Stacy, with two privates, arrived on the
opposite bank and ordered him to halt or
he would fire and not being obeyed, the
sergeant gave orders to fire. IIolc-in-the-
Day then turned around and returned the
fire with his revolver. And thus ended
the fight so graphically described by the
commandment OF Fort Riley as having
taken place between tw4nty-six of his
command and fifty Indian warriors under
Hole-in-the-Day
A large number Of settlers have left
the country during the panic created by
false and exaggerated reports of the num-
bers and disposition Of the indians at
Gull Lake. On the very evening that
the commanding officer at Fort Ripley
saved that post from capture by his
'promptness," | was having "a talk"
with Hole-in- the-Day at Gull Lake, twen-
ty-three miles from the Fort. / left Gull
Lake at P, NJ, and not an Indian was
seen between there and the Fort, except
two or three old decrepid ones, with their
squaws at Crow Wing.
The Indians have made no demonstra
ton whatever against the citizens OF Crow
Wing, and it is all CANNON about their
having robbed the stores and trading
houses at that point. To be sure the
pillagers broke open the trading houses ut
Leech Lake, about seventy miles from
Fort Ripley, but that il nothing worse
than they have done frequently. The
prisoners taken by the pillagers were
we'll treated, and released before the ar
rival of Capt. Hall from recruiting SER

ELECTION IN LANcAsrER.-The election
for Mayor Of the city Of Lancaster, held on
Tuesday last, resulted in the choice OF
George Sanderson, Esq, the present in.
cumbent, and editor Of the Intelligencer,
by majority Of eighty.(our votes over
DIR. Cassidy, the Ci,lzrns' Union candi
date. The result is great Democratic
victory in view OF the means resOrted 10
to prevent the reelection Of Mayer San
derson. The Republicans, in accordance
with the policy they have pursued for,
some time, refused to nominate a candi.
date oftheir own. but induced DR.. Cassidy,
a Democrat, and a gentleman of great per-
sOnal popularity. to become candidate.
By this means il was expected that enough
Democratic votes would be drawn from
SandcrSon to accomplish his defeat. 1t
was urged against him that he was
Breckenridge editor, and consequently
disoyal, and the usual attempt to array
all loyal citizens against him. But not
withstanding the odds opposed to them,
the noble Democracy Of Lancaster city
stood firm, and gained a signal victory
over the allied powers.-Cdrlile (Pd.)
