Emeufe.

From he ST. Paul Prsss I3th.i
News was received IN this city yesterday Of
Indian deDredations aud murders in the town Of
Butternus Valley, Blue Earth county, between
New Ulm and MaukatO, and only zen miles from
the latter place. The names Of the persons
killed are Messrs Jones, Davis, Williams and
Edwards and another person, a Mr LeWis,Was
badly wounded
These people we're residents Of the vicinity in
which they were killed and were among the
prominent citizens. They had previously re-
moved their families, and had themselves gone
back to secure their crops, suPPosing the In
diaus were at least fifty miles away.
This affair occurred less than one mile from
the place where Captain Danes company were
stationed for tue protection Of the neighoorhood-
Two different parties Of tben having been seen,
one nunbering seven AID the other twelve, and
we are glad to learn that Captain Danes com
pany is after Them.
OF course this event has created another great
panic up the Minnesota valley and the Honiler
settlers can never be induced 70 return 70 their
bones till the whole Indian race have been either
killed or driven from the State.
These 'svsrmin,' as Colonel Sibley calls them
not ft to 1--we upon the face OF the earth, and
the sooner they are totally eLduguishsd as
race, the sooner one Of the greatest Of all NUS
ances will be sbated.
FLAG OF IADCh-
Colonel Sibiey writes on the llth instant ihat
a christian Indian, named Simon, came into bis
camp under a flag Of truce escorting German
woman and three children, who escaped through
his aid. He states that the Indians dseamped
on Wednesday morning, and went up to point
near Lac qui Psrle, twelve miles above Yellow
Medicine, and would leave their families there,
and prepare to meet Colonel Sibley's force IN
battle. No reply has been received from Little
Grow The man Simon does not believe the
Indians will come back to fight, and says they
are divided in opinion as 70 whether they viii 90
to Missouri or to the Red river. Simon mentions
the departure of the party of Indians who cOn-
mitted the late murders near Mankato.
THE CHIPPEWA EMEUTE.
From the Press, l4th.l
The news received from the Chippewa agency,
night before last and yesterday, in regard 70 the
settlement Of matters between Commissioner
! Dole and Hole-in-the Day, exeitss most unpleas-
/ ant spprehensionS-
/ It would seem from the letter Of General Dole
/ that Hole-in-the-Day continually ev2dsd meet
1 ing the commissioner, under one pretext and
another for some days, TIL he had collected 81
/ his Warriors, aud then sought, by surrounding
] the commissioner and his escort, 70 inumldsts
| and eOercs him into his measures Both his
language and manner were highly disrespecttul
/ and insolent.
| They were continually stealing cattle and com
mittiHg other depredstiOns upon the whites
| They even went so far as to rob the messengers,
sent to them with dispatches, of their horses and
| equipments, making them return on foot. They
were so bold as to do this Sometimes before the
! face of the commissioner and the soldiers, seem
iRgly bent upon provoking our soldiers to fire
! upon them.
General Dole, with Colonel Thompson, and
their escort. left the Agency on Friday morning
| and are expected to reach this city tonight,
| having given up all further attempts to come 90
an amicebls understanding. 1t Is said be told
them that their annuities would cease unless
