"A late Washington telegram says -
Those who are in possession of all that's
known on the subject of our relations with
Great Britain, feel that they have reason
to be more hopeful Of pacific solutions of
the pending question than they were few

TROUBLE WITH INDIANS ON THE
FRONTIER. :
Several Persons Killed and Wounded

A messenger from Mankato arrived yes
terday morning at Gen. sibley's Headquar-
ters, says the St. Paul Press Of the 10Th,
after riding all Of Tuesday night, with
dispatches from Col. Miller, and Bringing
the following important intelligence:
On the morning of the 18th at 2 o clock
party Of Indians attacked an outpost OF,
the South Branch of the Watonwan Riv-
er, about IL miles west OF Madelia and
some 40 miles west of Mankato-held by
detachment of Is or 20 men from Capt.
Halls Company, of the 9TH Regiment
One man was killed and two wounded.
Of the settlers in the vicinity two women
were wounded and ene>boy Of eight or ten
years of age was killed. They stole one
government horse and all others they cod
find in the Lei ghborhood.
In the report made to Col. Miller BY
the officers in charge Of the outpost the
attacking party were estimated at fifty in
number, but in the darkness and confusion
Of a sudden and stealthy attack their num-
bers may readily have been exaggerated.
Upon receiving intelligence of the sffair
Col. Miller Immediately dispatched COM
panies G and X, Of the 9TH Regiment,
and detachment OF cavalry, all under
Lieutenant Colonel MARSHALL, to reinforce
Capt. Hall, whose company is stationed at
Madelia, within twelve miles of the scene
of the occurrence, and with orders to pur-
sue the red devils. The pursuit could not
be trusted to better hands, but as the ras-
Gals had twenty-four hours the start On
their stolen horses, it is not probable that
they will be very readily caught.
Other detachments of cavalry we're to
be Immediately sent out to scour the coun-
try thoroughly on both sides of the Min.
nesota river, and messengers were prompt
ly dispatched to notify the garrisons at
each Of the outposts.
Gen. Sibley in letter to the Press,
thinks that the attacking party were the
Indians mentioned by the scout, history
Of whose capture will be found on the
outside.
Later news states that the soldier killed
was Norwegian named Ole Erickson
said to have been shot with arrows. Two
were found in his body. 4
James Small, soldier, was wounded it
