For some time past the Indians surrounding
this Post-several thousand in number-have
been exceedingly bold. and have on several
occasions exhibited bad intentions. We learn
that Colonel Leavenworth. owing to the small
force at that point. has several times BEEN COM
PEELED to pacify them by turning out to them
hard-bresd, coffee. sugar, &c. This has but
encouraged them. The guard have had consid-
erable trouble in keeping them out of the Post,
so emboldened have they become. Last Monday
the guard was compelled to shoot one of them,
from the effects of which he soon after died.
Things do not look very pleasant on the
plains, to say the least, and this act may be but
the commencement Of open hostilities. Fort
Larned is not in any particular danger. but there
Is long road, over which a vast trade passes,
subject to their plunderirg and murderous pro-
pensities There ought to be at least full regi-
ment Of cavalry stationed there, until these fel-
lows are snubbed.

TIE AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL LANDs.-The Com
missioners to locate these lands returned to this
place last Tuesday evening. to secure what they
have selected up to date, as competitors are
already in the field. They have selected all
granted by Congress. with the exception of some
ten or twelve thousand acres. These they in
tend to select in lots of eighty acres. along the
pfgPosed railroad route, believing such will be
more advantageous to the State, and interfere
less with the settling up of the country. should
the State desire to convert any Of these lands
into funds, inasmuch as demand will exist for
such locations. The Commission have executed
their task faithfully to the State, ct the same time
having an eye to the settlement of the country.
-Four townships will afford the amount they re-
quired, yet over fifty townships have been taken
from.

Another Fight with the Rebel Stuart.

WASHINGTON. July III.
From letters recently received here, il
appears that on Friday last it was learned
by Gen. Meade that Stuart was preparing
to make one of his customary raids in our
rear, to cut off our trains and prevent COM
munication with Baltimore and Washing
ton. Gen. Gregg, with cavalry division,
was ordered to advance from the extreme
right to intercept him. Taking two bri-
gades and battery he proceeded to accom-
plish his mission. He met Stuart two
miles from our lines, already on his way to
execute his designs. Gen. Gregg charged
tie rebels, but was at first repulsed. He
rallied his men again and charged, routing
Stuart's force, who left their dead and
wounded on the field in their hasty retreat.
Among the killed were two rebel Majors.
Our loss was forty to fifty killed and one
hundred and ten wounded.
Another letter from Heaequarters, says
Gen. Meade's movements are energetic,
and he may decide to cross the river in
pursuit of the rebels, should they escape
from this side.
ss6srinss Of Gen. sibley's Command.
J ST. PAUL, July, 10.
Sibley's expedition was sixty-6ve miles
from Fort Abercrombie last week. Il is
suffering terribly from want of water. He
found the vegetation destroyed by droutb.
The greater portion of his provisions are
destroyed by heat, and large numbers of
wagons we're abandoned. The ambulances
are full of sick, and both men and officers
are discouraged. Proposals have been con-
sidered to abandon the expedition, but Gen
Sibley has concluded to move forward.
The chances are that he will soon find the
country devastated BY prairie fire, and be
compelled to retire.

The Louisville Democrat must feel
very sorrowful over the recent elections.
1t said on Wednesday:
The election yesterday in the States of
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Iowa, it is
probable, settles the policy of this
country for four or five years. and, in all
likelihood, the fate of the Union in all
time to come. If the Democratic ticket
is defeated in those States, 1t portends
the adhesion to the present suicidal
policy, with its atteDdent horrors Of
plumber and slaughter.
The Democrat is correct, we think in
its opinion that the policy of the country
is settled for four or five years. The
Conservative faction has not the shadow
of chance to carry ssolitary State in the
next Presidential election. Old Kentucky
will 80 by al least ten thousand majority
for the Free Soil candidate for the
Presidency. Freedom is now the fixed
policy Of this nation.
