next more seems to be to Nashville TIL,
reports that q portion Of Bragg's forces
were at Grand Junction, were unfounded.
Up 10 Friday, there were none there ex-
cept scouting parties, which come almost
daily, take what they want and then
leave Grand Junction seems TO be re-
gardcd by them as doubtful ground, hence
they make arrangements 70 stay as short
time as possible.
ST. PAU1, Aug 23AParties from Min
nesOta river, who reached here last night
report that scouts estimate the number
Of whites already Killed by the Sioux at
800. The opinion is based upon the
number Of bodies discovered along the
road and trails. Il is believed that all
the Missionaries are killed. The civili-
zed Indians exceeded their savage breth-
rem Ia atrocities.
Mr.. Premier an interpreter, who has
spent most of his life among Indians,
volunteered 10 so alone, trusting TO his
KNOWLEDGE Of Indians, and disguise TO
escape detection, dressed and painted in
ga age style, and arrived at the upper
agency at night. The place was literally
habitation Of death. he visited the
houses and saw all Of the former occu-
pants lying dead, some on door steps
some inside, others scattered in the yards.
He went 20 the house Of Hon. j. r. Brown
and recognized every member of the fam
ily, eighteen in all, murdered.
lie visited Beaver Creek and found
fifty families killed. He went to every
house and recognized the bodies of near
ly all the former inhabitants.
Among the recognized Mt the agency
were n. Giyens and family, Mr.. GaIiS
braith and two children, Dr. Wakefield
and family, John Tiddens and family,
John and Edward Mayler, and two Mis-
sourians, Rev. DR. Williamson and Rev.
DR.. Riggs.
Ex-Governor Sibley, who is now
marching TO the relief Of Fort Ridgly,
reports Sioux bands are united in carry
ing out concerted and desperate scheme,
and says they will only be too happy 20
find powerful upper bands Of Yanktons
and other Indians not united with them.
Mr.. Premier the disguised interpreter
writes Gov, Ramsey, from Henderson,
2lst, that he left Fort Ridgly ut 8 A. NJ ,
that there were then 1000 Indians ar
rived at the fort, and the wooden build
ings were burning. He thinks other
tribes were joining the Sioux, and present
n formidable army.
A reliable letter, dated Glascoe 2lst,
says the injury done by the stampede oil
settlers is immense. Such another scene
Of voc can hardly be found in the South
as in Mcleod, Metker, and the Northern
part of Sibley and other counties.

The political canvass is becoming oNcil-
ing. Senator Latham is stumping the
State, and is pretty well received by
both wings Of the Democracy, but bitter
ly opposed by the Republicans.
The probabilities are, that the Rcpub-
Leans will secure majority in the Lc-
gislarure, aud wall support the Union or
Latham ticket in different counties. A
| large portion of the town of Bear Valley,
on General Fremonts Maricosa estate,
including the ST. Charles Hotel and Gov
orDment Block, was destroyed by fire on
/ the 18th. Loss unascertaincd.
