ST. PAUL, May, 8, 1868.
Ion have been advised by telegraph Of the
relief Tie State Of snnnesota has undergone By
1ne removal Of the Sioux Indians, with tho
exception Of Little Crows band,) aud the
prospect that the Winnebagoes will speedily
follow. The Sioux have been at Fort Smelling
tver since Last fall, and were shipped nozens
sp@ens, the crimes Of their relatives being con-
Eldercd sufficient occasion for permitting one
party to make the bargain.
4 council has been held with the Winneba-
goes TO obtain their consent to the. removal,
Though as is usual in such cases, they are to

are but ! 800 men, women and children, It
cannot be anything very serious. Their pres
ent reservation is near Mankato, aud COM
prises ohe Of the richest portions Of the
STATE. The inhabitants OF the Minnesota

Sioux being 60 near their former l,aupts, It il

made to remove them, that there WAS no dan
