Alarming reports have been received al

last week Capt, Stuart received letter from
The Commander at Fort Larned. asking for
some men, stating that there was a rumor
to the effect that the Texans and Indians
were marching upon that Fort, aud he
placed some reliance in it. The next day
a message arrived, bringing the news, where
upon a company Of the Ninth was dispatch
ed to the scene Of danger. They left Fort
Riley on Monday week.
There is much reason to apprehend an
other outbreak 10 Minnesota. A few days
since a spy Of Little Grow was captured BY
four Of Gen. Sibley's scouts 10 the neighbor-
hood Of Fort Ridgely, from which it was
learned that Little Crows intention is to
divide his tribes into small parties, and
thus harrass the settlers and ravage the sur
rounding country. Gen. Sibley is prepar-
ing an expedition against them. Some Of
Gen. Pope's staff have already reported for
service under command Of Gen. Siblsy.
II Is 2lported that Gen. Pope himself win
command early in May.
