MRS. GABRA1TH AND THOSE At TIE UPPER
AGENCY SAVED.
The Clara Rine arrived at 12 o'clock last
night, bringing down Mr.. GoOdeu and family.
From him we learn that Mt Galbraith' 3 family,
Mr.. Sinks and family, Mr. GoodeN and family,
RideT, Mr, Fadden and family, John Jsrman,
Messre. Miller, Cramsey, Hawkins, Pierce,
Ashley, and others to the number sixty-two-
twenty men aud forty-two women and chill
dren-haye all arrived at shakopee. They
were at the Upper or Yellow Medicine Agency,
and on Monday we're wasned that there was to
be an outbreak Of . serious character. Geo.
Gleason, With Dr.. WalkeAe}d's family, vas
sent down to the fort for the purpose Of get
ting troops sent up, but as they subsequently
learned, we're all murdered on the way. That
night the attack WAS made on the traders.
Their stores were broken open, and the traders
probably all ki}3ed-AndreW b{yrick and Geo.
| Spencer among the number. s. B. Garvie was
| wounded, and died shortly after.
Tie Agency and warehouse buildings were
| little way off from the scene Of these muir
| ders, and the people taking the advantage of
| the time occupied BY the Indians in rifing the
stores, collected their wagons in the night,
| and unobserTed by the Indians, at daylight
the next morning slipped down to the river,
| snd crossing It, we're soon out on the prairie
| and away from the scene of strife.
They do not think the Indians knew Of
their escape until they we're miles away, and
| there being twenty men in the party well
| armed, they dare not follow In the open
place for the fort, but they afterwards changed
their direction and arrived at Glencoe on
Friday.
| Mr. Goodel1 thinks that about forty people
livirg above the Agency, and this side Of Lac
oui Parle, have all been murdered, including
Of course, Reys Mr Riggs aud Williamson.
This party of si1ty.tWo comprises all the
persons connected with the Agency, and some
others, with the exception Of Gleason and DR..
Naketlcld's family. They we're warned OF
friendly Indian named Other-day, who came
along with them and is now at Shakopee.
THE SOURCES OF TIE s1oUx OUTBREAK
4 careful consideration of the evidence
.. .. which has accumulated thus far, in connection
with the Indian masEacres, forces upon Us tue
, conviction that white men are ct the bottom
Of it.
The evidence taken before the coroneg's In
quest, held at Acton, IN Meeker county shows
upon the testimony of one Of the women wht
escaped, that shortly after the indians left, {
white man came along, following in the tract
OF the Indians: The woman called him in ant
showed him the five dead bodies-1nsn AMI
, womeu-lying upon the floor. He laughed
: and said, tt they have got the nose-bleed =
:. He folloTe on after the Indians.
= Again-we are informed that Nelson Rob
erts, well known to many Of our readers, ha
. . stated that for weeks past, 1rhite xaen-Mlssou
= rians-haTe been among the Indians. With
; ont doubt they have eu1issaries sent anon
:, them, to stir them up to vile.
u Moreover it seems to Us that the whole chal

= presence Of some directing intelligence Of
higher order than that Of the Indian.
The fact that remote tribes, like the fanl
tonnsis and the Gut Heads are moving in col
cert indicate this.
~ The fact that 9 large force, said to numbe
!. 2,000, hare attacked fortified artillery pos
\, like Fort RidgleT, indicate this. Such an q
~ tack is without any precedent in Iodian hi
u tory that now occur to Us.
NJ The fact that the Indians are butcherir
- missionaries who hayespent their lives amo1
them, and who il ordinary disturbances woa
- possess great influence over them, shows tn
from some cause they have been excited to
terrible degree Of bitterness and ferocit
They are, it seems, even slaUghterlng the ha
breeds OF their own tribe.
III In addition to these evidences, We have d
=; number Of rumors, all pointing in the sau
ho direction.
d. We are forced to the conclusion that Il
d. outbreak is part Of q deliberately concert
IT. pl,n-that Its purpose is to embarrass g
distract the general government by alarmi
at It for the safety Of the northwestern frontit
" aud requiring the retention here Of lar
