Indian Troubles

Oar intelligence from Minnesota : to
the elect that the ~ChirleT-s, and one
branch OF the Sioux, ~ least, have enter
Ell into new treaty st!pulaticns. by which
II IS hoped the ditfculties VIII cc.=e to
exist. = council OF Caisrs v.a held Gi;h
Commissioner Oh the pa,. OK tie Sale,
or Government, when aDl.c-5's eEylana-
tons and arrangements were a-reca up
on and signed.
Still! no doubt rebel emissJries are
among other tribes, and endeavoring to
stir them up 10 commit depredations upon
the border settlers. The Chippewas are a
large tribe, and 50 are the Sioux, and
these tribes are usually not on the most
friendly terms.
1t is hoped that the efforts Of our Gov
eminent may be successful in staying
this war, which could only prove destruc-
tive to the Indians ultimately.

FarpERIcK. Sept. q, 4. N.

From headquarters, Saturday evening,
we learn that the Michigan 18th, with a
few men from Sykes brigade, crossed the
river at Shephardstown ford late yester-
day afternoon 10 reconuoitre. They met
with a stout resistance from the enemy
but succeeded in reaching this side with
but slight loss, bringing with them four
pieces of artillery captured from the reb-
els.
The occupation OF the Virginia shore
was attempted again this morning, with
less success. Acting Brigadier General
Burns with his command, a portion of
Sykes Brigade. some cavalry and W.
batteries, crossed and took position on the
Virginia shore. Shortly after the troops
had been placed in position, the enemy
erSerged with q line OF infantry q mile
LONG.
The troops soon because engaged. when
an order was given TO retire, which was
done in good order. the enemy following
closely. When they came within range
the Federals opened fire from twenty
pieces. Our artillery, adyantageously
posted, was worked with such effect as TO
compel the enemy to retire. Their loss
must have been heavy from the explosion
OF our shells. rs they were seen to make
large gaps in their lines. Our loss in
killed and wounded is about $50.
