Sr. PAUL, Minn., April l6.-A spy 0
Little Grow, chief of the warike Sioux
was captured by scout employed b,
Gen. Sibley, only thirty miles above For,
Ridgeley, few days ago,and arrived, un
der guard, at TT. Smelling last night
lie states that he is one of eight sent by
Little Crow to carry off goods concealed
only l3 miles above TT. Ridgeley, and
that the other seven were to arrive on the
very day Of his capture. A cavalry com
pany was at once dispatched from Fort
Ridgeley to capture the seven, but have
returned without them.
The spy says that it is Little Crows
intention to divide his forces into bands.
to get out of the way Of onr troops, and
to rayage and murder all along our whole
frontier. Whether the spy reports cor
rectly or not, this has all along been the
fears of the settlers, hence they feel no
safety in returning to their abandoned
farms. The chances are that there will
be almost no crops north or west of the
Minnesota river this summer.
Gen. Pope's idea of Zig campaign is
what the settlers most fear. Some of his
staff are to arrive this week, to take ser
vice under the immediate command OF
Gen. Slblcy, while Gen. Pope himself
will be here early in May.
Gen. Burnside, commanding the De-
partment Of the Ohio, has made the State
