A war Of determination is being Eaged
upon the Indians in Minnesota. They
have ceased to pay bounty on Indian
soaips. But they do pay Indian hunters
scouts" two dollarsa day and S25 bOun-
ty for every male Sioux killed. Those
who hunt Indians on their own hook are
paid SIS for each Indian killed. 1t is pre-
sumed great many enterprising men will
follow the business Of Indian killing as q
regular calling. The internal atrocities
Of these mereiless savages have brought
destruction upon them. They and the
settlers cannot live together in Minnesota.
Their determination is foregone conclu-
sion. They have acted the part of raven
GUS wild beasts, and are being hunted as
such. They must take their final leave Ofths
State, and as beasts Of prey hide away from
civilizstion,or be shot They will be hunted
and driven from their hiding places. The
people are in earnest-their doom is spok-
en-. The following dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune indicates the State Of Indian af-
fairs, and the feeling of the people in Min

f" ST. PAUL, July 21. 1863.
"Three days later news from the Indian
expedition has been received. They have
received supplies from Fort AmbercrOmbie
and were again on the march, expecting to
reach DEVILS Lake in twelve days.
"They have another report that Little
Grow and his warriors are at this lake,
and intend to make stand there.
Sibley has sent Indian scouts in to as
certain whether the reports are true 1t
is very doubtful whether they will find
any Indians there. Their commisssFy
stores have been re-packed, and are now
in good order.
The order reYoking the scalp bounty
mentioned in previous dispatch as deter
mined on, was issued to-day. Itpays scouts
two dollars day and twenty-five dollars
bounty for every male Sioux kiIled-testi-
mony instead Of the scalps being re.
quired. Those who do not choose to enter
the service and receive per diem will be
paid seventy-ive dollars for each Indian
killed They are having lively hunt in
Lesueur county a few miles east of ST.
Peter. Fifteen Indians were seen there
day before yesterday, and the settlers have
turned ont in force to kill them"
