DAY.
There are reports of serious outbreak
among the Chippewa Indians. 1t is said
that plan was laid by them to capture
Mr.. WALKER, the Agent, and that he re-
ceived information of it in time to get out
of their way. 1t is also said that he
thought it would be piece of brilliant
strategy to take Hole-ia -the-Day as boss
tage for the good conduct of the rest of the
tribe, and that Hole, in tbe,Day got wind
of this, and attempted to escape with some
of bis wives. He crossed the river, and
when he arrived on the opposite bank, the
soldiers who were detailed to take him ap.
peared in sight. Hole in.the.Day drew his
pistol, according to the report of the sol.
diers, and fired, and was answered by vol.
ley. He fell, and rising, limped few rods,
and fell again, and was removed by the In.
dams.
News of this affair and other indications
of trouble, was dispatched to Indian Cons
missioner Dole, and Superintendent Thomp.
son, who were encamped a short distance
from st. Cloud, and they Immediately broke
up their camp and came into town.

consideration and sympathetic regard Of
every one who has the good of our cause
and the welfare of the soldiers at heart.
The proportions of the war are so great
as to render it impossible, BY reason Of its
limited and cramped resources, for the
government TO make all the necessary
provisions for the comfort and welfare of
our troops in the field. A great deal de-
ponds upon individual exertion. Every
